Anna Wintour is not a woman who wastes words. On the US Open red carpet this week, asked to name a current favorite player, she threw it back with“How could you possibly pick one?”Asked about all-time, she said one word: Roger. Federer, obviously. Consider that settled, and consider that the Met Gala drama still swirling in the background did not slow her down for a second.
Elsewhere in the week’s celebrity chaos, Joe Scarborough got turned away from a Status Summit afterparty because the door staff simply did not know who he was. He eventually got in, but the moment itself is already legend. Over at New York Fashion Week, Bobby Cannavale and Debra Messing missed a Will&Grace reunion by 20 minutes at separate events, Ciara’s 9-year-old daughter Sienna tried to campaign her way onto the US Open Jumbotron, and Stacey Bendet’s 16-year-old daughter Scarlet made her runway debut at ALICE+OLIVIA.
Then there’s the comedy side of things. Dave Chappelle, Shane Gillis, Aziz Ansari and Michael Che all showed up for a surprise late-night set at The Stand ahead of a 9/11 benefit. No announcement, no hype, just four of the biggest names in comedy on one stage. Which part of this week would you have wanted a front-row seat for?
