‘One Day’ (2024)

David Nicholls‘ 2009 romance novel, One Day, was adapted as a film in 2011, and then as a limited series in 2024. One Day follows the friendship and romantic connection of Emma Morley (Ambika Mod) and Dexter Mayhew (Leo Woodall) on July 15th over the course of 14 years. Starting with Emma and Dexter’s meeting on the night of their graduation from the University of Edinburgh, the series follows the ups and downs of their intense bond in the years that follow, all building up to its gut-punch of an ending.

One Day is a beautiful and quiet drama series that focuses mostly on heightened emotional stakes rather than physical ones. There is clear love between Dexter and Emma, but still, their relationship is constantly hindered by obstacles like miscommunication, other people, and their ability to hurt each other so well when they’re fighting. One Day is a standout romantic drama that treats its characters with care and nuance, both as individuals and as a pairing.

‘Shōgun’ (2024–Present)

Adapted from James Clavell‘s 1975 historical fiction novel of the same name, Shōgun takes place in Osaka, Japan, in 1600. The series picks up after the death of the Taikō (Yukijiô Hotaro) as the members of the Council of Regents fight for power and control in the wake of his death. Going up against the rest of the Council is Lord Yoshi Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), with the help of two unlikely allies: English sailor John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), and their translator, Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai).

Shōgun is a complex and well-written historical fiction drama that tells a fictionalized recounting of a crucial but lesser-known time in history. It is violent and intense in the vein of Game of Thrones and The Witcher, but it is also grounded and intentional in its depiction of conflicts and acts of cruelty that were standard for the time in which it is set. Initially a miniseries, Shōgun has a powerful and brutal first season that tells a story that has a satisfying ending, but that still leaves potential for more to be told.

‘Andor’ (2022–2025)

A standout among the many television spin-offs in the Star Wars universe is Andor, a two-part prequel series that follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) five years before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Andor details Cassian’s journey of becoming the character that fans know and love from Rogue One as he is radicalized against the Empire and becomes a fundamental member of the Rebellion.

Andor is an excellent Star Wars prequel that expands on existing lore and themes from the series, but it also stands out on its own as a phenomenal and gut-wrenching sci-fi drama. Andor does not shy away from the brutality and cruelty of the Empire, and it is unflinching in its depiction of the Rebellion’s uphill battle against corrupt leadership. While the series is very suspenseful and intense, it never lets its jam-packed plot take away from its focus on its central characters, especially Cassian.

The Jedi Council gives you an order you disagree with. You:

Grey Jedi

Disciplined, compassionate, and deeply attuned to the living Force, you have walked the path long enough to understand its demands — and accept them. You lead not through authority alone, but through example. You have felt the pull of the dark side and chosen otherwise, every time. That is not certainty. That is courage.

You are earnest, powerful, and brimming with potential — and you know it, which is both your greatest asset and your most dangerous flaw. You act before you think, trust your gut over your training, and sometimes confuse impatience for bravery. The Masters see something in you, though. The question isn’t whether you have what it takes — it’s whether you’ll be patient enough to find out.

Advertisement

You are not simply dangerous — you are certain, and that is worse. You have decided what the galaxy needs, and you have decided you are the one to deliver it. Your power is genuine and formidable, earned through sacrifice that would have broken lesser beings. But examine your victories carefully. Every Sith believed their cause was righteous. The dark side’s cruelest trick is that it agrees with you.

You were forged in fire and reshaped by those who found you at your lowest. You serve, because service gave you structure when you had none. Your allegiance is not to an ideology — it is to survival and to the master who gave you purpose. But there is something buried beneath the conditioning. The Jedi you hunt? You recognize them. Because you remember what it felt like before the choice was taken from you.

Advertisement

You have looked at the Jedi Code and the Sith Code and found both of them incomplete. You walk the line not out of indecision but out of conviction — you genuinely believe both extremes miss something essential. The Jedi don’t fully trust you. The Sith think you’re wasting your potential. They’re both partially right. But so are you.

‘Paradise’ (2025–Present)

Paradise is a phenomenal series that isn’t afraid to take big risks and constantly play around with different genres. The series starts as a simple political thriller, as Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) investigates the murder of the President of the United States, Cal Bradford (James Marsden). The twist is that this murder took place in a secure underground bunker, three years after a doomsday event destroyed the world.

In its two seasons so far, Paradise has expertly balanced a number of moving parts, while jumping back and forth in time to fill in the blanks about the end of the world and everything that’s happened since. Paradise is so fantastic because it is deliberately and carefully experimental, planting the seeds for major twists and turns well before they’re executed and never holding back in delivering game-changing reveals.

‘Pluribus’ (2025–Present)

Another incredible post-apocalyptic drama series from the 2020s is Vince Gilligan‘s Pluribus. The series starts when an extraterrestrial virus comes to Earth and makes everyone a part of one big, happy hivemind — everyone except for 13 people, including cynical romantasy author Carol Sturka (Rhea Seehorn). After the virus kills her wife, Helen (Miriam Shor), Carol becomes determined to save everyone else who’s been infected by the hivemind, even though she’s the only person on the planet who sees this as a real problem.

Pluribus is a clever and darkly funny series that puts the entire fate of the world on the shoulders of one reluctant and grumpy individual. Carol doesn’t want to be a hero, but there is nothing scarier to her than the idea of losing her autonomy and being forced to join the hivemind. Thus, Carol works to try to find a cure for the virus, all while trying not to get too close to her charming hivemind-designated chaperone, Zosia (Karolina Wydra).

‘Half Man’ (2026–Present)

The latest drama series from Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd is Half Man, which follows the complex and toxic relationship between two stepbrothers over the course of three decades. As a teenager, the quiet and bullied Niall Kennedy (Mitchell Robertson) is initially afraid to have Ruben Pallister (Stuart Campbell) back in his life when their moms move in together to all be a family, but the two strike up an intense and codependent bond.

All the while, as the story goes on, it is interspersed with flash-forwards to adult Niall’s (Jamie Bell) wedding in the present day. He and Ruben (Gadd) are now estranged, but Ruben crashes his wedding, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in his wake. Half Man is a gut-wrenching, often horrifying, and utterly captivating series with one of the most compelling and unique relationship dynamics ever.

2

‘Severance’ (2022–Present)

Severance takes place in a dystopian future where nearly everything is controlled by a mysterious company called Lumon Industries. The show’s protagonist, Mark Scout (Adam Scott), works for Lumon, but not even he knows what he does. For his job, Mark underwent the Severance procedure, separating his brain into one self inside work and one self outside of work. On the severed floor of Lumon, Mark S. (also Scott) and his coworkers know nothing of their outside lives and are permanently trapped in their place of work.

With phenomenal writing, shocking plot twists, and some of the best concept episodes of the 2020s, Severance is a true powerhouse of a drama series. The series uses its high-concept premise and specific stakes to explore themes of autonomy, love, loss, and what makes up the self. The result is one of the most unique and beautiful drama series of all time, and that’s after only two seasons.

‘Interview With the Vampire’ (2022–Present)

AMC+’s Interview With the Vampire is both a faithful adaptation of the series of Anne Rice novels on which it’s based, as well as something entirely its own that shocks and delights in new and clever ways. The series covers two timelines, as the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) recounts his story for journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), about 50 years after their first attempt at an interview. Louis’ tale starts with meeting and falling in love with his maker, the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), in New Orleans in 1910.

Advertisement

Louis’ story spans many decades, through his tumultuous relationship with Lestat, to their adoption of their daughter, Claudia (Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles), to eventually meeting the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman) and his coven in Paris. Interview With the Vampire is a deeply entertaining and thought-provoking series that gets better with each episode, and every single one of its episodes is a perfect and necessary addition to its central story.

Donnie Wahlberg & More Heat Up Las Vegas at Circa’s Barry’s Downtown Prime

Published

Summer in Vegas looks different for everyone. Some find solitude relaxing at the hotel pools all day, while others spend their time finding the best dining spots within the powerful AC of the casinos. The party never stops downtown, and with summer just around the corner, the sightings and happenings are definitely heating up.

Just like how many athletes favor Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Las Vegas before a game, celebrities also are known to stop in before award shows, amongst other nights out. This was certainly true for Donnie Wahlberg, star of the hit TV show Blue Bloods, and NKOTB member Jordan Knight. It is no secret that this is Donnie’s number one choice for any night out, and he wanted Jordan to experience it as well, ahead of walking the red carpet at the AMAs. Donnie always recommends the desserts at Barry’s, including the Oreo Ice Cream Pie — a must to top off any meal.

Just two days prior, Joe Montana, who happens to be good friends with chef Barry, stopped in and posed together in the wine room.

Joe has been seen multiple times at Barry’s in the past.

Icelandic professional strongman Thor, or Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson — known to many as “The Mountain” from the hit show Game of Thrones — and his wife Kelsey were joined by fitness pro and influencer Jason Poston and his wife Sheena, along with Sebastian Oreb and Dinny J, who all fueled up for their weekend by trying Barry’s for the first time.

Being their first visit to Circa, they toured Stadium Swim and Legacy Club, loving the property and the breathtaking view of the city from 60 floors up on the patio.

What better way to decompress after a business trip to TikTok headquarters — owner Nicholas Wolfs of Perfect Society, one of the top 10 creator agencies for TikTok, and his fiancée Kaitlyn, co-owners Nick Young and Chetty Tok were all seen posing at the iconic Vegas Vickie’s in the Circa lobby with CEO/Owner Derek Stevens and COO David Rosborough.

With thousands of creators under the Perfect Society agency, it looks like they found the right hotel in Vegas to partner with.

It does not matter what brings the crowds to Las Vegas. There is always something to see, eat, and celebrate. What adds to the excitement are the unexpected run-ins with celebrities of all kinds doing the exact same thing, and it only shows that everyone has the same really good taste.

Forget ‘Deadpool,’ Ryan Reynolds’ Best Sci-Fi Movie Is Waiting To Be Rediscovered

Published

on

Frodo holds the ring on a chain in Lord of the Rings Return of the King

Ryan Reynolds is easily one of the most famous actors in the world. Whether it’s from his romcom days in films like The Proposal, or his real-life pursuits of success with Wrexham A.F.C., or even Reynolds’ Aviation Gin, it’s an extremely hard task to find someone who doesn’t know the name Ryan Reynolds. But none of these products, football clubs, or other films are as synonymous with the Canadian actor as the Deadpool movies. Utilizing his bubbly charisma, Reynolds created one of the most popular superheroes in modern memory.

Yet, there is another sci-fi action movie that allows Reynolds to explore a different aspect of his comedy in a way that is just as lovable as Deadpool’s crude cynicism: Free Guy. Released in 2021, Free Guy delivers an accessible, heartfelt message about sincerity, using video games as the perfect vehicle and serving up energetic action and delightfully absurd comedy. It may not have made as much money as Deadpool & Wolverine, but Free Guy sits right alongside as one of Reynolds’ best performances and overall films.

What is ‘Free Guy’ About?

Free Guy primarily follows Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a non-playable character, in the open-world multiplayer video game Free City, a vibrant, densely populated setting that feels strikingly similar to Grand Theft Auto V. At the start, Guy is merely someone who lives the same day every day, caught up in the chaos created by the “sunglasses people” as Guy names them due to the glasses each player wears. When Guy gains sentience and steals another player’s glasses, he accidentally becomes the most popular gamer, threatening to derail the plans of the money-hungry Antwan (Taika Waititi), the CEO of the company that makes Free City. While Guy is a naive, fun-loving character, Antwan’s cynicism creates a clear thematic battle between kindness and selfishness that making it impossible not to root for Guy at every turn, especially since his goal is only to get the attention of Millie (Jodie Comer), another gamer he falls in love with.

For video game fans, Free Guy is perhaps one of the most fun interpretations of a multiplayer, open-world game put on the screen. Free Guy embraces video game absurdism, with action that sees Guy accidentally use power-ups that launch him hundreds of feet in the air, only to fall on his face. As he becomes more skilled, leveling up to impress Millie, the audience is reminded of their own journeys, going from a “noob” to a pro.

Ryan Reynolds’ Performance in ‘Free Guy’ is a Refreshing Switch Up From ‘Deadpool’

Ryan Reynolds is one of the most popular actors for a reason. He delivers performances that are comforting to watch and make audiences laugh, and his approach to Free Guy and how different it is to Deadpool is exactly why this film works so well. While Deadpool is upbeat and funny, it’s his sarcasm that defines him. In contrast, Guy is truly sincere, wearing a toothy smile throughout that frames all of his actions as innocent. This separates him from other action heroes and makes Free Guy a unique experience for action fans, where he isn’t the grizzled warrior, like Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) or the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Instead, the way he falls in love with Millie, making a huge effort to level up just so he can talk to her, makes for a romance and argument in favor of kindness that gives Free Guy a depth one might not expect, layering the story. When Guy is with Millie, Reynolds hunches his shoulders and keeps his head low, giving Guy an adorably meek quality and casting him as an underdog in the audience’s eyes, far removed from how Deadpool is usually perceived.

Overall, there are few better ways to spend your evening than sitting back and relaxing with Free Guy. As far as video game interpretations go, Free Guy is up there with one of the best, understanding the bizarre and unrealistic nature of video games and how you can truly be anyone you want to be when in the game. In doing so, Free Guy also embraces a positive message about changing your life for the better, even when it should be impossible, with Ryan Reynolds carrying that message like he was born to do so. It may not be what he is remembered for, but Free Guy showed a side to Reynolds we don’t often get to see, and it is all the better for it.

Tom Brady Praises Launch Of New Coconut Water Brand

Published

on

Tom Brady at Red Carpet of the 25th edition of the Laureus Awards

Tom Brady has partnered with food delivery company Gopuff to launch a new beverage line called Good Nut. The premium brand will offer organic coconut water drinks in a market projected to reach $11 billion by 2030.

The former NFL star praised the launch in a statement to the press and also shared details about how the beverage came together as he continues to expand his business portfolio after retirement.

Brady and instant-commerce leader Gopuff have entered the beverage market with a premium line of organic coconut water, which they announced earlier this week.

With the coconut water market expected to continue growing in the coming years, the former NFL star said the new product is something “customers would actually want to drink,” adding that the team hopes to capitalize on rising consumer demand.

“Gopuff has a unique ability to understand what consumers want and get great products into their hands in minutes,” Brady told Fox Business in an exclusive. “We had a great experience working together on GOAT Gummies, and that trust made it easy to team up again on Good Nut.”

Why Brady Embraced The Coconut Water Idea

Brady is no stranger to coconut water, which is one of the reasons the idea of launching a beverage with Gopuff came together so quickly.

“It’s something I’ve enjoyed for years, and hydration has always been an important part of my routine, during my playing career and still today,” Brady revealed.

By partnering with Gopuff, Brady said he believed they could bring something unique to the rapidly growing market while offering consumers a healthier option.

“Hydration has always been a big part of my routine, and while coconut water has been a staple for me, I knew we could take it to a completely different level by teaming up with Gopuff,” he added. “With Good Nut, we focused on keeping the ingredients simple and clean, making sure it’s exactly what I’d want in my own fridge.”

Tom Brady Says He Loves Building Brands Up

Before working on Good Nut, Brady and Gopuff collaborated on GOAT Gummies, which launched in June 2024.

The vegan snack contains “no artificial sweeteners, artificial dyes, or artificial flavors,” the former NFL star said in an interview with Forbes around the time of its launch.

Looking ahead, Brady said he is enjoying a post-football career centered on developing and growing brands.

“One of the most rewarding parts of this chapter of my life has been building brands from the ground up,” he said.

Advertisement

“With Good Nut, we wanted to create something fun that people would genuinely enjoy. It’s been exciting to bring that vision to life,” the retired quarterback added.

Brady Explains His Approach To Better Snacks

In his interview with Forbes, Brady also shared that the core of his collaboration with Gopuff is creating products that are both healthier and enjoyable.

He believes consumers should be able to enjoy the foods they love without feeling pressured to change their eating habits completely.

Advertisement

“I realize it’s always about, ‘How can we do a little bit better,” Brady said. “I don’t necessarily want people to always eat how I eat.”

“People, they like to eat the way they eat, but how can I create some things that are fun, that they’re going to enjoy, that are a little bit healthier than the things that they currently have? That’s really the impetus of what we’ve done here with this partnership with Gopuff,” the seven-time Super Bowl winner added.

Tom Brady Was Excited To Join Gopuff

As part of the partnership, Brady is expected to take a hands-on role in developing new products rather than simply serving as the brand’s celebrity face.

When he first joined forces with Gopuff, Brady expressed excitement about the opportunity and praised the company’s success as an instant-commerce platform.

“Since my first time using Gopuff, I’ve been amazed by how fast and seamless the deliveries are, offering so many different options right at your fingertips,” Brady said in a statement. “I’m excited to be working with the Gopuff team to continue to drive innovation and help create an even better experience for their customers.”

What DC’s ‘Supergirl’ Tells Us About the New ‘Wonder Woman’ Movie

Published

on

James Norton in House of the Dragon Season 3

Summary

  • Collider’s Steve Weintraub talks with Milly Alcock and screenwriter Ana Nogueira for Supergirl.
  • In this interview, the pair discuss how the film champions humanity and vulnerability, what it’s like joining a big franchise, and tackling Kryptonian dialogue.
  • Nogueira also shares her key principles while penning the DCU’s Wonder Woman reboot.

Perfectly aligned to launch the summer blockbuster season into a new millennium, Supergirl is flying into theaters soon, with House of the Dragon alum Milly Alcock setting off on an interplanetary adventure in search of her best friend, Krypto. The second feature film in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU also marks a major first for both Alcock and screenwriter Ana Nogueira, who’s already tapped for the upcoming Wonder Woman reboot. But before this highly anticipated Superman follow-up debuts, Collider’s Steven Weintraub had the chance to pick Alcock and Nogueira’s brains on Supergirl’s message to audiences and what it’s really like stepping into one of the most iconic fandoms in the world.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, Supergirl officially introduces us to the DCU’s Kara Zor-El (Alcock), Superman’s (David Corenswet) headstrong cousin, who has chosen a nomadic space-faring lifestyle, effectively distancing herself from others. She’s reckless and somewhat aimless, but when a ruthless space pirate (Matthias Schoenaerts) puts Krypto’s life in danger, Kara will have to learn to let her guard down and team up with some very unlikely companions to save his life. The movie also stars Jason Momoa as the fan-favorite bounty hunter Lobo, as well as Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze.

Don’t miss the full conversation in the video above or the transcript below, where Alcock and Nogueira discuss the film. When asked about the importance of representation, Alcock explains that Supergirl has a universal message (“There’s so much power in vulnerability, and there’s so much strength in humanity…”) and Nogueira ties her approach to this movie with her next project, the DCU’s Wonder Woman reboot. Plus, Alcock explains how House of the Dragon helped her master a particularly challenging scene in Supergirl.

Milly Alcock Says Joining the DCU Was More Intimidating Than ‘House of the Dragon’

She shares her insight on the challenges of joining massive fandoms.

COLLIDER: Milly, I have to start with you. You’ve been part of House of the Dragon and the DCU. Which fandom felt more intimidating to step into?

MILLY ALCOCK: Ooh. I feel like DC has been quite intimidating to step into. It’s interesting when you step into a fandom because there is an element of being an actor that’s kind of exclusive to when you step into a fandom. The character doesn’t solely belong to you. The character actually kind of almost belongs to the audience, and the audience all have their own expectations and ideas of who this person is and how they present themselves, and what they look like, and all these things. Yeah, it’s different from doing a traditional job where you get to fully just be them.

Representation is incredibly important, and so many young girls and women all around are going to be inspired by Supergirl. What do you hope they take away from Kara for their lives?

ANA NOGUEIRA: I hope that they take away the idea that they can be their full, messy, authentic selves and still be heroes, that those two things don’t cancel each other out. That having struggles doesn’t mean that you can’t be a champion for somebody else.

Advertisement

ALCOCK: I just hope people take away from the film that there’s so much power in vulnerability and there’s so much strength in humanity. You don’t have to save the world; you can just save your own. And saving yourself sometimes is the best thing that you can do for those around you. I feel that that’s not exclusive just to girls and women. I think that that’s a universal thing. I think that despite age and gender, we all at one point have felt that within ourselves, that need to just find it okay to be who you are.

When I put on social that I was going to be talking to the two of you, I think every single person said, “Please ask about Wonder Woman.”

NOGUEIRA: Oh, I’m sure they did.

What is it like actually writing both Supergirl and working on Wonder Woman, and what would you like to tell fans in terms of where you’re at in that script?

NOGUEIRA: I mean, there will be a little sniper dot on my head if I say too much. But I will say that, like from all of it, I try to approach every character that I write from a place of what feels is the most true to me about them. For Kara, it was this backstory that she had. I always try to come at it that way and put on some blinders, and see what the character means to me before I take them off onto the page.

‘House of the Dragon’ Prepared Milly Alcock To Become a Kryptonian

Without spoilers, there’s a sequence that takes place on Krypton, and I love that it’s not in English. I love that you’re asking the audience to read subtitles. Can you talk about the writing of that sequence? And as an actor, what is it like delivering dialogue that’s not native to you and having to deal with emotional stuff while speaking a foreign language?

NOGUEIRA: For me, the writing process was just a regular writing process because we had wonderful linguists translate my English into Kryptonian. I loved being able to write, though, those kinds of heightened emotional scenes that are so different from the rest of the scenes in the movie.

ALCOCK: For me, I approached it the same way I did on House of the Dragon with High Valyrian, and that is you just really have to understand the integrity of the scene in English so you know where you can go and how to play with the other actor who’s there on the day, and also really knowing their lines and what they all mean. Then, slowly but surely, you introduce the Kryptonian, and then it’s line by line by line, and then learning the other actor’s last phrase so you can react with that. It’s kind of like learning a song in another language. There becomes a natural rhythm to it, and then the emotion is just dumb luck.

NOGUEIRA: [Laughs] Yeah, it’s dumb luck what Milly does. For sure.

Supergirl flies into theaters and IMAX on June 26.

One of Prime Video’s most-watched shows, The Boys, recently ended in May, but the streamer isn’t sitting on the sidelines.

The platform quickly debuted a slew of new series that the Watch With Us crew binge-watched as soon as they dropped. Yes, they’re that good.

At the top of our list of the best Prime Video shows you should watch in June is Spider-Noir, a wildly inventive take on a Spider-Man-inspired character starring Nicolas Cage.

If there’s one material we reach for on repeat during the summer, it’s linen.

Truly a two-for-one deal, these one-and-done outfits have a vacation wardrobe vibe we can’t get enough of this season.

We’re talking sets that span every clothing category: vest sets, roomy wide‑leg trousers, tailored shorts and breezy button‑downs that look straight out of a resort capsule wardrobe. Shop our top affordable linen sets picks below and find the summer uniforms you’ll reach for on repeat.

Cannes Debut, amfAR Gala With BFF Tara Reid & Hot New Single

Tina Win Is Having Her Moment: Cannes Debut, amfAR Gala With BFF Tara Reid, Tribeca Premiere and a Hot New Single

Tina Win is everywhere right now, and honestly? She deserves it.

The rising Romanian-American pop and R&B singer made her Cannes Film Festival debut this year, turned heads at the star-studded amfAR Gala alongside her best friend, actress Tara Reid, walked a Cannes red carpet in a jaw-dropping designer gown, attended one of the hottest premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, and dropped a brand new single, all in the same stretch. If you haven’t been paying attention to Tina Win yet, now is the time.

Best Friends Do Cannes

On May 21, Win and Reid hit the 32nd amfAR Gala Cannes together at the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France. The annual event is one of the most coveted invitations during the entire Cannes Film Festival, and this year’s edition raised an incredible $20 million for HIV/AIDS research. Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis hosted the night, with performances from Lizzo and Robbie Williams, and the guest list included Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum, and Rami Malek, among others.

Win arrived dressed in a show-stopping gown by designer Dorota Goldpoint, and by all accounts, she and Reid, who have been close friends for years, had an unforgettable night on the Riviera.

Win did not stop there. She also walked the Cannes red carpet for a festival premiere wearing a stunning look by acclaimed Vietnamese designer Le Thanh Hoa.

For a first-time Cannes attendee, she looked like she had been doing this for years, which, given her background working backstage at Fashion Week and interning at Allure and Cosmopolitan, maybe shouldn’t be a surprise.

New York, New Single

After the South of France, Win made her way to New York City for the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival, attending the premiere of Only What We Carry dressed in a gorgeous piece by Australian luxury label Camilla. The film is one of the buzziest titles at Tribeca’s 25th anniversary edition, starring Simon Pegg, Sofia Boutella, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Quentin Tarantino, and singer Lizzy McAlpine. It was shot in just six days in Normandy with a largely improvised script, and critics have been talking about it nonstop.

And right in the middle of all the festival action, Win dropped her new single “Chaos” on May 29. The track is the latest chapter in a run that includes her debut “Try Anything” and the buzzy follow-up “How To Be Cool,” and it might be her most personal release yet. Win has always been open about the fact that her music comes from real life, describing her songs as a reflection of the chaos she has lived through, from heartbreak and survival to reinvention and freedom. The new single puts all of that front and center.

As the founder of her own independent label, Tina Win Music LLC, she owns every note of it.
