25 Celebrities Who Live in New York City
Taylor is so A+ list that she has multiple homes across the country, but she spends a lot of time at her Tribeca townhouse (and is also papped a lot walking in and out).
Tay spoke about her love for NYC on Letterman saying "Anytime I talk to anyone or any time I do an interview I'm like, 'You don't understand, you have to go there now, you have to go to New York, just drop what you're doing, you have to go there, it's amazing, it's the greatest place ever.'"
If you live in NYC, there's no way you haven't seen Justin Theroux lurking around Greenwich Village, where he owns a truly gorgeous apartment. Here's a glimpse of what appears to be the inside, featuring his adorable dog.
Bey and Jay also have homes all over the country (Malibu, Bel-Air, Miami, the list goes on), and—like Taylor Swift—own a penthouse in Tribeca. Fun fact: Justin and Hailey Bieber rented an apartment in their building, and Bethenny Frankel also used to live in it.
Unlike other celebs on this list, Bey and Jay are not about to show the inside of their home so...here they are at the Met Gala instead!
When she's not hanging at her family farm in Pennsylvania, Gigi spends time in her NoHo apartment which she is super proud of. Look no further if you're someone who is obsessed with knowing what the inside of a celeb home looks like, because she's shared a ton of pics!
The Mamma Mia! star spends much of her time in the Catskills, but also has an apartment in Manhattan that is airy, light, and full of gorgeous floor-to-ceiling arched windows. Prepare to be jealous.
Harrison Patrick Smith might be from Los Angeles, but The Dare is a fully NYC vibe, so naturally he lives in Manhattan. Specifically in the East Village—at least according to a recent New Yorker article.
While we're here, The Dare has a lot of thoughts on the city! "In real life, there are a lot of great musicians making things in Manhattan and Brooklyn—and there's a lot of interest from the music industry," he told 032c. "It generally just feels like a very exciting time to be in New York. And yet, on the internet, people have the exact opposite take and have the worst things to say about anyone with any degree of notoriety. Everything gets flattened into this Dimes Square straw man. The same people who are like, 'This place is terrible!' online typically live in Brooklyn and don't even go [to Dimes Square]. People on the internet who are outside of everything are angry and just don't get it. And it's kind of cool."
These two have an entire townhouse to themselves and it's best described as chic, moody, and full of leather. Please be advised that this place is so huge they have a room called "bar five" because it takes up much of the 5th floor.
EmRata lives in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene, and judging from a pic of her living room that she shared in 2022, her place is very chic. (Note: this photo is a couple years old, so tbd on if she's moved!).
Maude Apatow recently moved to NYC and her starter apartment is so cute I could actually cry. As she put it to AD, "I've peaked. Like, now what? If a younger version of me saw this, she would be freaking out. It's been my dream since I was like, five. New York City can be really hectic I needed a place to decompress after being out all day. Coming back and feeling relaxed in my own space has been so nice."
Truly name something more iconic than Julia Fox's circa 2023 apartment tour featuring a mouse:
Though for what it's worth, Julia has since moved to a townhouse in Harlem, which she lives in with her friend Richie Shazam Khan.
Welcome to Paloma Elsesser's timeless Italian inspired townhouse in Brooklyn, aka heaven on earth. She told AD, "When you travel so much, being home really feels like the vacation. We really leaned into that here. When I cut away all the noise of the job, what do I want to be surrounded by? For me, it's color. It's levity. It's things I love."
Padma lives in NYC with her daughter, and thanks to the fact that she loves to share recipes, we have a pretty good idea of what her gorgeous home looks like. One word: perfect.
Elle lives in a gorgeous-looking Greenwich Village apartment with her boyfriend Gus Wenner, who she's been dating since 2023. They keep things pretty low-key, but this looks to be a pic of the closet:
Could cry.
There aren't details on where Ariana Grande lives, but we do know she lives somewhere in NYC...with Ethan Slater! According to an Us Weekly source back in 2023, "Ethan informed his friends and soon-to-be ex-wife that he's living with Ariana full-time in New York. They're really happy and really good for each other. All of her friends love him."
Ari doesn't share a ton of apartment pics, but this carousel looks like it might feature her place?
Director Spike Lee is probably the most iconic New York City celebrity, and while his current residence is slightly mysterious (we know he lives on the UES!)—his NYC real estate is nothing short of incredible. On top of owning a firehouse in Fort Greene, Spike lived in the "Hatch House" for years, an Upper East Side townhouse that was originally built for a descendent of Cornelius Vanderbilt. Spike Lee listed the home for a casual $32 million in 2013.
Not positive that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick still live in this iconic NYC townhouse, but thanks to Vogue's 73 Questions we got a full tour and it's stunning.
Here's a slightly more recent look into her chic home:
Andy Cohen used to live in an absolutely beautiful West Village home brimming with color, but recently sold the apartment in favor of a home with outdoor space—also in the West Village. According to the New York Times, his new place is "a penthouse that he bought for more than $18 million."
Per Andy, who chatted to People,"Outdoor space was the decision! I always have coveted outdoor space. There is a dearth of inventory in the West Village with outdoor space, so when I found something that was meaningful enough for me to leave my dream apartment…that's what it took."
Forever NYC It Girl, Chloe Sevigny, lives in an art-filled SoHo apartment, which was recently featured in The New Yorker.
Couldn't be more her.
Unclear where in Manhattan Lucy Lui lives, but the New York Times reported that it was her main residence as of 2024. This looks like it could be her living room, and if so, wow.
Daniel splits his time between London and New York, because apparently playing Harry Potter pays big! The actor's NYC home is private for obvious reasons, but if you want a sense of his vibes, this is his place in London:
The Hamilton creator lives in Washington Heights with his wife Vanessa Nadal, and shared a glimpse of his cute apartment on Instagram last year:
J.Law is so private that she doesn't even have a public social media account, but we do know that she lives in NYC. Specifically in a $21.9 million West Village townhouse.
Matt and Luciana live in a $16.7 million Brooklyn penthouse. And fun fact, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt live in the same building. Emily told People, "We all became friends and then they moved to Brooklyn and they said 'We found this amazing building.' And of course, we were like, 'We'll live in the same building!' But there's really lovely, cool people living in Brooklyn and we have Sunday night dinners and it's wonderful."

SKIMS has been the future of underwear. So why did it just launch 'retro intimates'?
It's not your grandmother's underwear. Or maybe it is. SKIMS, Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand, just launched a retro collection that could be plucked right from a 1950s store rack. Or the back of your mom's mom's closet. The brand's array of "vintage-inspired" bras (sold at $60) and shapewear (for $118) debuted July 2, bringing old-timey silhouettes to 2025. Think bras with pointed cups and bandeau slips that cover and flatten the belly. While it's OK that you may enjoy the new items for their color, fit or style, it's worthwhile to explore why it matters that SKIMS, a brand known for its futuristic designs, is thinking vintage. "The pendulum has swung back and we're looking at boning, corsetry and compression," said Lorynn Divita, associate professor of apparel design and merchandising at Baylor University. These designs reverse course following the prevalence of shapeless "underboob"-revealing bralettes that overtook much of the 2010s, she said. But SKIMS is trading that rule book for structured shapes with more fabric. SKIMS declined USA TODAY's request for comment. Looking backwards or meeting the moment? While SKIMS is referencing the past, it may also be taking contemporary cues in its retro move. The collection comes amid discourse setting a tone of modesty in women's fashion: coquette milkmaid dresses are all the rage this summer, as are more covered-up options for working out. Fashion's upper echelons have been divided over pushes for modesty, from backlash over nudity at the Met Gala to an all-out ban on revealing outfits at Cannes. Most recently, Lauren Sánchez Bezos ditched "sexy" garb for a neck-high, long-sleeve Sophia Loren-inspired 1950s wedding dress. A post shared by Julia Kelly (@missjuliakelly) SKIMS' retro collection evokes the buxom, lip-lined, big-curled beauty standard that defined sexy in mid-twentieth century America. The brand debuted its retro designs on their Instagram posts featuring women in playful vignettes – voluptuous motifs of bygone beauty in seductive positions. They pose with a vintage camera or twiddle the cord of an outdated landline phone. One could infer SKIMS' posts are a reference to "pin-up girls," the female icons of mass-produced images sold as wall decoration in the mid-20th century. But this time, SKIMS will be the one to dress her. "This is lingerie for someone who doesn't have to sit at a desk for eight hours," Divita said. "This is lingerie for someone who does not have to work in the service industry. This is not lingerie for someone who has to do anything other than lounge about and look pretty. That is tapping into the current zeitgeist and some attitudes by some parts of society that women should be more feminine." "It definitely feels like a knowing commentary on trad-wife culture," said Lauren Downing Peters, associate professor of fashion studies at Columbia College Chicago, referencing women who promote a lifestyle of traditional femininity and homemaking. Women who embody 1950s gender roles might be happy to see this collection come out because most major brands have catered a different consumer, she said. These retro clothes leave sex "just beneath the surface" without putting skin on display: "It reflects that tension between exaggeration and containment," she said. For this reason, SKIMS is positioning the retro line "for the girls" rather than for the male gaze, Peters said. What makes someone 'cool'? Researchers may have figured it out. A post shared by 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐃𝐄𝐋 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐎 (@karajewelll) Some of these trends may be stemming from a nostalgia for an easier, simpler time. However, a simple outfit or social media post glamorizing the past lacks context regarding what America was really like for women over 80 years ago, said Divita. "They forget women couldn't have credit cards, they couldn't get a divorce," she said. "Their social position wasn't what it is now. They look back at this attractive lingerie and it makes people think of all the good things associated with that time." More reserved clothes could follow this underwear shift, she added. Tight tees and athleisure crop tops don't favor the pointy "bullet bra," she said. If heavily-structured lingerie becomes exceedingly popular again, brands are likely to start selling blouse-style tops and longer hemlines that account more layers underneath, Divita noted. Here's why you should eat more cantaloupe this summer. On the flip side, some influencers have posted wearing SKIMS' retro girdle as a sole outfit, subverting the 1950s connotation of under garments as only visible to one's husband, noted Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, professor of gender at Case Western Reserve University. And the light, breathable fabrics SKIMS uses in 2025 allow bodies to feel more active and flexible in these kinds of clothes than eras past. "My question is how many SKIMS' customers are actually embracing it as a underwear?" she said of today's era wherein lingerie as daywear is typical. And the pointy bra hasn't just been a symbol of the '50s, though the SKIMS marketing highlighted that connection. Think of Madonna's iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra look, which popularized the form as a bold statement of feminine power, Rabinovitch-Fox said. "Pointed bra is not necessary a yearning to something else," she said. "It can also be a statement of rebellion."

Messy L.A. millennial plots deliverance from her student loan debt in ‘The Payback'
There are a frightening number of ways an American can become indebted today: there's medical debt (I won't be paying off my child's birth until he's nearly 5 years old, and I have insurance). Mortgages, of course (though as a millennial living in an expensive city, I wouldn't know what those look like). And then there's student loan debt carried by nearly 43 million Americans, and which disproportionately affects Black women. But hey, at least one good thing has come of that, as TV writer and novelist Kashana Cauley graciously acknowledges in her new book, 'The Payback': 'To the student loan industry,' reads her dedication, 'whose threatening phone calls made this book possible.' Narrated by Jada Williams, a wardrobe designer turned retail salesperson, 'The Payback' is full of such you-gotta-laugh-to-keep-from-crying humor. The book opens at Phoenix, the clothing store at the Glendale mall where Jada now works, and includes a hilarious yet mostly sincere appreciation for the beleaguered centers of suburban America: 'I loved mall smell,' Jada narrates, waxing poetic about the scents of the bins at the candy store and the ever-present pizza smell before admitting that she sometimes even leans down to smell the plastic kiddie ride horses. 'Sometimes, when there were no kids, I'd lean into the horse and sniff it to get a whiff of plastic, childhood dreams, and dried piss. Yes, I know, nobody's supposed to savor the aroma of pee, and I wouldn't rank it first among the smells of the world, but pee is life. It's humanity. It's the mall.' Jada loves the mall, and she even loves her job, which is not a given for anyone who's lost their dream career like she did. She's passionate about helping people find the clothes that look and make them feel good, even if she's doing that for 20% commission. She's definitely gotten over her sticky fingers habit, too, except that, well, on the day the book opens, someone leaves an expensive watch in the fitting room, and Jada can't help but pocket it. This eventually leads to her getting fired, but not before the boss she likes, Richard, dies on the store's floor and Jada and her co-workers get to witness the newly formed debt police in action chasing and beating up Richard's grieving widower during his wake. The debt police are exactly what they sound like: cops who come after people in debt. Cauley, a former writer for 'The Daily Show With Trevor Noah' who has contributed to the New Yorker, has fun with this concept: she dresses them up in turquoise and makes them all obnoxiously hot and as annoying as the worst Angeleno cliché you can think of (they're especially obsessed with overpriced new age treatments and diet culture). The cherry on top is their true apathetic evil. 'These Leo moon incidents are always the worst,' a debt policeman says, for example, while literally beating Jada up. Six months after she's fired, Jada is making money by 'eating food on camera in the hope that internet people, mostly guys, according to their screen names and Cash App handles, would pay [her] rent.' She eats shrimp for its pop and the way she can lick it; graham crackers for their whisper and crackle; almonds for their snap; celery sticks for their crunch. On the one hand, she's paying her rent; on the other hand, her relationship to food has become sonically focused and exhausting. The saving grace is that Jada manages to stay friends with her former Phoenix co-workers, Lanae (frontwoman of a punk band, the Donner Party) and Audrey (a runner and hacker in her spare time). Together, they come up with a plan to erase their own — and everyone else's — student loan debt. It's a heist, of sorts, except instead of getting rich, they'll stop being in the hole for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. But the real pleasure, just like it is in any good heist movie, is witnessing the three women spending time together and becoming closer over the course of the book. Jada is a deeply imperfect narrator. She's quick to judge others, slow to trust, and even steals a watch on page 12 (Gasp! She's a thief!) So, yes, she's a messy millennial who has some issues to work through, but neither she nor anyone deserves to spend the rest of their life indebted to a system that claimed a college education as the only way to break into the middle class, and which instead ends up keeping so many from it. The novel is a satire, of course, and the debt police are over the top because it's generically appropriate, but also because Cauley is using humor to approach the horrifying reality that people really do go to prison for having debt in this country. And even when they don't, student loan debt ends up increasing the racial wealth gap. According to the latest data from the Education Data Initiative, 'Black and African American college graduates owe an average of $25,000 more in student loan debt than white college graduates.' Flash-forward four years after graduation, and 'Black students owe an average of 188% more than white students.' Yet the job of a novelist isn't to hit you over the head with statistics but to entertain you — if you learn anything along the way or think more deeply about something you'd never considered, that's great, but it's not the main point. For all that it deals with systemic racism and economic precarity, 'The Payback' is a terrifically fun book that made me laugh out loud at least once every chapter. Masad, a books and culture critic, is the author of the novel 'All My Mother's Lovers' and the forthcoming novel 'Beings.'

Too Much Reviews: Critics Are Split On Lena Dunham's New Comedy Series
Lena Dunham makes her much-anticipated return to TV this week with her new rom-com series Too Much, and it's already got critics talking. The new Netflix show follows workaholic New Yorker Jessica, who leaves for London in the wake of a break-up only to fall for aspiring musician Felix. Led by Hacks star Megan Stalter and The White Lotus' Will Sharpe, a host of stars appear in the supporting cast and big name cameo moments, including Emily Ratajkowski, Jessica Alba, Andrew Scott and many more, as well as Lena herself, playing Megan's on-screen sister. Inspired partly on her own experiences of moving across the pond and falling in love, some critics have already hailed the 10-episode series as a 'big-hearted' rom-com with plenty of Lena's signature wit. And while it certainly seems to promise the kind of comfort viewing we might expect from our Netflix faves, others feel it's, well, a bit much, and kind of a let down after the huge success of the Golden Globe and Emmy-winning Girls. Then there's some who are in the middle. Here's what the reviews are saying so far… 'Lena Dunham returns with a brash, big-hearted, and oddly conventional rom-com… like the algorithmically calculated intro it soon subverts, Dunham's latest pulls off a tricky balancing act: giving audiences what we expect from a TV rom-com, as well as what we don't always get.' 'A worthy follow-up to Girls…this charming, idiosyncratic show preserves Dunham's gift for effortlessly distinct, joke-laden dialogue while evolving the Girls ethos for a new phase of life.' 'Fleabag with a side of Richard Curtis…The Girls creator's new comedy drama is madly, deeply, truly romantic – but it still has bite, and excellent performances from Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe.' 'TV comedy return lives up to its title…Too Much certainly offers some chuckles and heartwarming moments, but getting the most out of it will require a genuine affinity with Dunham's voice and a considerable tolerance for utter nonsense.' 'Too Much has the chaos of Girls, but it's at its best in moments of calm…Taken individually, as discrete stories, they're easier to digest. The writing is sharp, the performances spot-on.' 'Although this rom-com series delivers more on romance than comedy, it still proves that Dunham continues to find effective ways to tackle the hardships of being an adult seeking love and assurance in this day and age…For those who enjoyed Girls, particularly for its unapologetically flawed characters,Dunham's return to TV with Too Much will feel as timely and relatable as ever.' 'It's great to have Lena Dunham's inimitable voice back on TV, but Too Much feels strangely limited… Megan Stalter and Will Sharpe are terrific in this London-set romcom. If only it were allowed to be a bit messier.' 'Lena Dunham's cliche-ridden new romcom is a total disappointment…The Girls creator's hugely anticipated return to TV is just not good enough. It's tonally jarring, full of laboured jokes and abandons all thoughts of innovation. You expect far better.' 'For a whirlwind romance, Too Much feels awfully dispassionate. While there's plenty of enthusiastic sex and confessional conversation, there are few of the lingering gazes or intense close-ups that might bring us into their shoes, and allow us to get as swept up in Jess and Felix's bond as they do. And without that visceral sense of desire, Too Much comes off less like a romance unfolding for our pleasure, and more like a couples therapy session being held for their benefit.' 'Caught between being authentically empathetic and wildly cartoonish, she and her saga fall into that familiar middle ground where nothing coheres. It's a case study in a lot of disparate, disorganised stuff amounting to too little.' Too Much is available to watch on Netflix now. These Are Our 11 Top Picks Of The New TV Shows And Films To Stream On Netflix In July 2025 Squid Game Creator Reveals Why He Changed His Mind About Season 3's Ending Thought The Stars Of The Sandman Season 2 Looked Familiar?
