268: On Meryl and Anna, The Drama, The AJLT Auction

In this episode of Every Outfit, hosts Lauren Groney and Chelsea Fairless dive deep into the highly anticipated Julian's Auction of items from the 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That...' series, marveling at the sheer volume and specificity of the memorabilia available—ranging from Mr. Big's shower knobs and Carrie Bradshaw's cat tree to obscure items like Joy's stand-in stuffed dogs and the infamous 'Loved and Lost' book copies. They express both awe and amusement at the auction's depth, noting that all proceeds benefit the charity You Gotta Believe, which supports foster youth. The conversation then shifts to the cultural moment of Anna Wintour appearing on the cover of Vogue alongside Meryl Streep, with the hosts dissecting the subtext, celebrity dynamics, and the irony of Anna embracing her fictionalized 'Miranda Priestly' persona. They critique the lack of visual risk in the cover shoot and the over-commercialization of 'The Devil Wears Prada' sequel through brand collabs with Target, Old Navy, and Starbucks. The episode concludes with a passionate, spoiler-free review of the new film 'The Drama,' a dark romantic comedy about a wedding unraveling after a shocking confession, which the hosts praise for its bold themes, ensemble cast, and sharp commentary on cancel culture, authenticity, and moral judgment. The episode ends with a celebration of the film’s emotional complexity and its ability to surprise mainstream audiences.
