Secret Love Letters Remain Sealed in Vermeer Show
As a title for a museum exhibition, 'Vermeer's Love Letters' is a spicy choice. It promises a newly intimate, possibly amorous view of an artist whose life story is filled with question marks. Although Johannes Vermeer was one of the deities of 17th-century Dutch painting, decades of scholarship have failed to unearth even such routine facts as the name of his art teacher (presuming he had one) or the identity of his models. We could be looking at his wife, his daughters, or a good-natured neighbor when we gaze at the women in his paintings, those solitary figures in quiet rooms, making lace or pouring milk into a bowl with rapt concentration. The show brings together just three paintings, which is plenty in Vermeer's case, especially since they share the intriguing subject of a woman who is writing a letter or receiving one, with the help of a servant. At the center of the show is the Frick's own beloved painting, 'Mistress and Maid,' (ca. 1664-67), which has been moved from its usual spot in the grand, green-wallpapered West Gallery into the brand-new Special Exhibition Galleries. There it is joined by two other Vermeer masterworks, one visiting from Dublin, the other from Amsterdam. As its trumpet-blare of a title suggests, Vermeer's 'Love Letters' asks that we view the protagonists of the three paintings as sly correspondents caught up in romance, their maids aware of their feelings and consigned to the role of go-between. But this is a highly speculative and iffy premise. Consider 'Mistress and Maid,' one of Vermeer's larger and more overtly dramatic paintings. A blonde housewife clad in an attractive yellow jacket trimmed in spotted white fur, glances up from her writing table, quill in hand, appearing startled. Her maidservant has entered her room to hand her an envelope — a small but commanding object, a flat, white shape gleaming against a well of shadow. Who is the letter from? Perhaps it's from a cousin in Amsterdam sharing news of his family's ordeal in the bubonic plague of 1665. Or a local merchant informing the woman that her artist-husband has run up a catastrophic debt by splurging on lapis lazuli, the expensive stone that Vermeer used to achieve a radiant blue. Or perhaps the maid has jotted the note herself to announce that she is quitting her job. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Where Men Are Evolved
There were very few low points during the recent men's wear shows in Milan and Paris. From Hermès's sleek take on business casual, to Craig Green's playful bright layers, to Junya Watanabe's chintz blazers, the collections were full of easily wearable clothes that possessed an easy sophistication. Perhaps no garments typified this better than the many luxurious pajama sets sent down the runways. A relaxed refinement also characterized the fashion in the crowds, where suits were neither too baggy nor too form-fitting, pants were wider at the foot, shorts were shorter and black socks were worn instead of white ones, with boots, monk-strap shoes and Crocs. As for faces in the crowds, in addition to rappers and K-pop stars, there were also N.B.A. players like Anthony Edwards, Jerami Grant and James Harden, whose collective cool underscored that of the designers' collections.

Bezos Wedding's Hollywood Dust-Up: Rosie O'Donnell Dings Oprah, Charlize Theron Says Guests ‘Suck' and More
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding sure brought out the celebrities, both in attendance – and those criticizing the event. Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and more attended the Venice-based wedding this past weekend. Their choice to show up to the lavish affair was ridiculed by other A-listers online. Many of them did not hold back how they felt. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding, but that's okay because they suck and we're cool,' Charlize Theron said at the fifth annual block party for her charity – Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project – in L.A. She continued: 'Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal.' She ended her speech succinctly with a 'yeah, f–k them.' Rosie O'Donnell also took to her Instagram to eviscerate not only the wedding but Oprah specifically for attending. 'The Bezos' wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it,' O'Donnell wrote. 'Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that. Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.' Katie Couric went after Sánchez's dress. The former CBS Evening News anchor left a comment critiquing the gown on a now-deleted Jack Schlossberg post, according to TMZ. 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled,' she wrote. 'Apparently, tacky is back.' Mia Farrow indirectly shaded the whole affair by hyping up Bezos' ex-wife Scott. It was a bit kinder way to go after the wedding than others took. 'How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos's first wife & mother of his 4 children). As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organizations.' The celebrities weren't the only people calling out the reportedly $50 million wedding. The pair reportedly planned to get married in Cannaregio, in the center of the city. But mounting calls against their nuptials threatened to disrupt the wedding, which was moved elsewhere. The group said the wedding was moved to Arsenale, to the east of the original location.
