As the strikes continue—it’s day 114 for the WGA, day 41 for SAG-AFTRA—the stars encourage fans to come out to picket lines and also read up on what’s going on.
“I would encourage anybody who is a fan of this show to show their support on social media, perhaps to educate themselves on what this is and what labor disputes are, in general, this is a labor dispute, much like any union going on strike. It’s a very measured course of action to accomplish a goal. And I think educating yourself to understand what we’re trying to do here, especially if you’re a young fan, so that moving on in any business, whether it be the entertainment business, whether you’re an actual writer or even a producer in the future, you’re understanding what the grievances are.” (Darren Criss | Give Me My Remote)
Dazed’s party photographer-at-large Andrew Tess made a beeline for the Boom Boom Room post-Met, capturing Olivia Rodrigo, Jenna Ortega, and original NY club kid Amanda Lepore on camHosted by Janelle Monae, with Kaytranada behind the decks and Billie Eilish, Jenna Ortega, Olivia Rodrigo, OG NY club kid Amanda Lepore, and a somehow completely de-crystallised Lil Nas X all jostling for a space on the dancefloor (probably) – and Dazed’s party photographer-at-large Andrew Tess was right there in the thick of it, Polaroid in hand, to capture it all on film. “You couldn’t turn a corner without bumping into someone major,” Tess said of the night. “Karl [Lagerfeld]’s signature flowers were omnipresent, espresso martinis were flowing, and the door was insane. But inside it felt like a little soirée with old friends.”
