Writer and producer Diablo Cody already has an Oscar for her 2007 film Juno, and now she’s the proud owner of a Tony for best book for the Alanis Morissette rock musical Jagged Little Pill. Now she just has an Emmy and a Grammy to go! Matthew Lopez’s epic, seven-hour AIDS drama The Inheritance scored a win for best play, making Lopez the first Latino writer to take home the Tony in that category (and, hopefully, setting a new standard for the kinds of wide-ranging queer stories that can be told on Broadway). Remember the recent Broadway adaptation of A Christmas Carol? No? Well, the joke’s on you, because the holiday-themed production now has five Tonys to its name. God bless us, everyone! Tonys cohost Leslie Odom Jr. was joined by his Carnegie Mellon classmate Josh Groban and Beanie Feldstein—theater-kid extraordinaire—to honor the work of arts teachers, with each speaking passionately about the importance of arts education for students everywhere. Not a bad message to drive home, as we’re still in a pandemic that’s disproportionately affecting teachers.
Fall is just around the corner, which means it’s the perfect time to try out a new look for the season. Katie Holmes, a high heel devotee, is certainly taking this to heart. Instead of, say, her favorite Bottega mules, the stylish star was spotted in New York City this weekend wearing a city-ready take on the classic cowboy boot. Her pair is sleek, discreet, and can be worn with just about anything. (Though she did, indeed, style them with denim.) What makes Holmes’s fall shoe switch-up so on point? The pointy toe and chunky block heel give them a cool, western slant, but overall the boots are refined and versatile. It’s just enough visual interest without being a loud, brazen statement. She also styled them with a classic white tee and straight-leg jeans: a foolproof outfit if there ever was one. Sure, statement boots have been trending lately—think: glittery knee-highs and chunky lug soles—but the subdued cowboy boot is more of a classic staple, and can work for virtually any personal style.
