Is Donald Trump?” Harris Campaign Manager Jen O’Malley Dillon told reporters. Trump’s performance was lambasted by prominent Republicans. On Fox News, anchor Brit Hume declared that viewers should “Make no mistake about…

The Alaïa show was called for 8:30pm, we had passed the acceptable 30-minute wait time, and it was the end of a long first day of New York fashion week. Packed tight like sardines on round leather banquettes the fashion industry’s heavy hitters made small talk with neighbors or tapped urgently on their phones; little islands of impatience. A Wall Street Journal reporter leaned over and whispered one word: “Rihanna.” She’d heard from her seat mate who’d heard from a photographer outside. “Who else could hold up this room?” she correctly observed.…

Among many other things, Meghan Markle is a successful entrepreneur and investor. That success flowed — in part — from her role in the popular Suits TV series and the attention she has attracted as the Duchess of Sussex. Since March 2021, around the time when she and Harry were cut off from the British Royal payroll, their net worth has increased from $50 million to $60 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. A large portion of that success is due to the couple’s content deal with Netflix — where I enjoyed watching Suits for the first time. Valued at between $50 million and $100 million,…
