Shortly after Lorde announced her next album, Virgin, I messaged several fellow fans on the ELLE team with a proposition: "Should we do...Lorde Week?" After all, it only felt right to celebrate one of pop's biggest disruptors and most-anticipated comebacks with a week's worth of stories. So, two months later, here we are. As we count down to the release of Virgin this Friday, we're exploring Lorde's many facets, from her most underrated work to her beauty routine to her best lyrics. To kick off the series, playwright Kimberly Belflower, who wrote the seven-time Tony-nominated play John Proctor Is the Villain, breaks down a key scene in the production set to Lorde's triumphant single "Green Light" and reflects on what makes the song a quintessential anthem for young women.
And now that it's officially summer, we've found the best beach reads, TV shows, and movies to dive into this season. One of them is The Gilded Age, your next HBO Sunday-night appointment watch. If you missed Carrie Coon after The White Lotus and crave New York society drama (in the late 1800s), then corset up for the third season of this delicious Julian Fellowes series.
