From the margins

2 details only one outlet reported

Independent claims that didn't surface elsewhere in our corpus. Treat as supplementary — not corroborated across outlets.

  1. 01 Fox News Entertainment

    Sydney Sweeney is telling Tom Cruise to "watch out" after she strapped herself to the top of an airplane.

  2. 02 Vanity Fair

    Tom Ford is credited with saying that “dressing well is a form of good manners.” Perhaps that’s why the filmmaker and designer is always wearing a black suit. Like others of his ilk, say, Dapper Dan or Lisa Eisner, Ford is an inarguably perennially best-dressed person. Actors Nicole Kidman and Chloë Sevigny have been on best-dressed lists for as long as they’ve been public figures. Grace Jones has been a muse to Azzedine Alaïa, and Tracee Ellis Ross has gone from walking Thierry Mugler’s runway alongside her mother in the ’90s to being an inspiration to designers like Marc Jacobs, our 2026 Style Issue cover star.
