Priyanka Chopra Looks Very Romantic on the Cover of Marie Claire

(A) Wow, she is pretty. She is one of the few living humans who can pull off the Wet Fashion Hair Look. (B) I enjoy the juxtaposition between the artsy feeling of this cover and the headline about its subject (and the associated font). (C) I like those earrings so much that her bra top sort of faded from my consciousness, which is really saying something given my on-record feelings about bra tops (honestly, this one just sort of works, though; this is like....when you should use the bra top). (D) Wait, are those earrings the best way for me to accessorize my way to a better aura?!?!?! I will make that sacrifice. This is useful journalism!

I used to call Marie Claire "the magazine that trusts women to read," thanks to its habit of running long-form and properly reported actual news articles, and I enjoy that this profile of Priyanka follows that trend. It's full of interesting little tidbits -- including the fact that Priyanka says she reads everything folks write about her on the internet, which, PRIYANKA NO -- and thoughtful ruminations on her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood. It's definitely worth a click over there to check it out. (Also to see many glamorous hot-pink outfits on her, including a caftan-y thing that I hope she wears in public once we can all go places again.)

Also, this made me laugh:

“It was one of these quarantine decisions, which I could have completely regretted, but I play a sad writer in this next movie,” says Chopra Jonas as she fluffs the hair on her forehead. “I don’t know why, but I feel like ‘sad writer’ means bangs.”

I'm a sad writer and every time I go into the bathroom I do consider cutting bangs. So this is correct.
