Gracie Abrams Is a One-Woman Pharmacy

Vogue23-06-2025
'I think there's probably 20 to 30 items in here,' Gracie Abrams says, plopping her black velvet Chanel 25 bag on the table. 'But I could be wrong—there could be upwards of 30. We'll find out together.' (Spoiler alert: it's many, many more.)
First on the docket is a pile of cords knotted together, ensnaring an eyelash curler and a pen. 'This is a perfect representation of the state of things,' she jokes. Included in her nest of wires are her headphones, which she's been using to listen to Japanese Breakfast, Jeff Buckley, Haim, and Lady Gaga.
The singer's bag is also something of a portable pharmacy. Voice preservation is naturally top of mind, so Abrams carries Ricola cough drops and a steroid inhaler ('really sexy') with her. But she's also got Flonase, Flamingo Estate Maunka Honey cream, lavender-scented hand sanitizer, Advil, electrolyte mix, and—what's that?—another Flonase!
Abrams is feeling especially motivated thanks to the new midnight blue journal she's had for the past month or so, which she bought at her 'favorite store in the world,' Choosing Keeping in London. 'It feels charged, energetically,' she says. 'There's something very inspiring about this journal.' Ideally, she likes to keep separate her songwriting and journaling spaces, but, hey, when inspiration strikes… Today, however, she writes, 'Sitting here, showing Vogue my nasal sprays. What a life.'
What a life, indeed! Here, watch on as Gracie Abrams gives us a tour of her stuffed-to-the-brim bag, from the custom sticker a fan made of her dog, Weenie, to the lip product that makes her feel instantly like herself.

Our favorite male movie stars of the moment are flirty, fun and a much-needed breath of fresh air

The summer celebrity forecast predicts clear skies, and an unproblematic leading man heatwave in the form of Jonathan Bailey and Pedro Pascal. In a time marked by division – over politics and pretty much everything else – Pascal and Bailey have seemingly united the internet by abiding by a fairly simple principle: It's ok to have fun being a celebrity. Case in point: Bailey matched wits – and clutched pearls – with one of the web's most gifted in the art of the flirt, Amelia Dimoldenberg, who on Friday welcomed the fellow Brit on her popular YouTube series 'Chicken Shop Date.' Their blush-inducing conversation ranged from Dimoldenberg calling their relationship 'tantric' (Bailey qualified that description with, 'From afar') to her asking him about the chaps he was planning to wear to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour show that evening. 'Are they going to be with the bum, or without the bum?' she asked, to which Bailey responded, 'We'll see, maybe they'll evolve as the night goes on.' For those who don't know him, Bailey was first introduced to most after an enchanting run on three seasons of 'Bridgerton.' He then caught our attention when he starred in 'Wicked' part one last year as the dashing Prince Fiyero. Next up, Bailey is starring in 'Jurassic Park: Rebirth' alongside Scarlett Johansson, out this week, before he reprises his role as Fiyero in 'Wicked: For Good' in November. What has made audiences fall in love with Bailey offscreen though, is that he can be devilishly flirty and disarmingly wholesome all in the same breath. Further proof: The viral craze that was Bailey's so-called 'slutty little glasses,' a moniker for the eyewear that he sports in 'Jurassic Park: Rebirth' coined by internet personality Blakely Thornton. The moniker stuck after audiences saw Bailey's eyeglasses in the first trailer for the film. Fully embracing the moment, Bailey told Entertainment Tonight at the London premiere of 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' earlier this month that he's 'thrilled that people are having a hormonal explosion linked to optical supports.' He also saw his viral moment as an opportunity for good. Bailey and spectacle maker Cubitts recently partnered to launch a limited-edition pair of sunglasses, inspired by his eyewear worn in the film, according to WWD. A portion of the sales will benefit Bailey's charity The Shameless Fund, which he established last year in support of the LGBTQ+ community to 'live authentically.' Bailey is also busy living out his dream of playing in the 'Jurassic' orchestra when they recorded the score for the new film at Abbey Road Studios. Bailey was able to perform the clarinet solo that played over a scene where his character interacted with a dinosaur for the first time. 'I'm sort of shaking,' Bailey said in a featurette for the film after recording his solo. 'It's a total dream come true.' And then, of course, there's bee-swatter and Internet 'daddy' Pascal, who is literally everywhere lately. He not only recently appeared (and absolutely broke our hearts) in the second season of HBO's 'The Last of Us,' but he also showed up in Celine Song's anti-rom-com 'The Materialists,' out now. If that weren't enough, he will also be appearing in the Ari Aster-directed drama 'Eddington' and Marvel's 'Fantastic Four,' both out later this month. He'll also be reprising his role as the titular helmeted hero in the 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' film next year. Outside of being one of the most sought-after movie and TV stars of the time, Pascal, like Bailey, is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ causes. In April, Pascal set the internet abuzz when he attended Marvel's 'Thunderbolts*' premiere in London wearing a white t-shirt that read 'protect the dolls' to show support for the transgender community, including his sister, Lux Pascal, who came out as a transgender woman in 2021. The t-shirt was designed by London-based designer Conner Ives. All profits from the shirt benefit Trans Lifeline, a charity that offers emotional and financial support to transgender people. The Pascal craze came to a boiling point last month when a lookalike contest was held in New York City, as part of a growing trend that brings out doppelgängers of our most sought out celebs. 'It's the Pedro takeover,' Emma Stone, who stars alongside him in 'Eddington,' gushed about Pascal during an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last week. 'He's so wonderful. He's talented, he's gorgeous, he's nice, he's funny.' We can see it, too, Emma. Even Robert Downey Jr., who will appear alongside Pascal in Marvel's upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday,' can't get enough of Pascal. 'Pascal's slow trajectory to becoming a household name who is on a wildly hot streak kind of reaffirms my faith in our industry,' Downey said in a Vanity Fair interview published last week. Pascal celebrated his milestone 50th birthday in April and spoke playfully and modestly about the renaissance he's currently having at this age. 'Stepping into my 40s felt adult and empowered,' Pascal told the publication. 'Fifty felt more vulnerable—much more vulnerable… What a silly thing for a 50-year-old man—to have all this attention!' 'Silly'? Not quite. More like superb. CNN's Dan Heching contributed to this story.

Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams and a new dawn of 'hard launch summer'

We've made it past blistering heat waves and landed in July, which can only mean one thing – 'hard launch summer' is back in full force. Glastonbury, the British music festival, was ripe with romance this year. Pop singers Gracie Abrams and Olivia Rodrigo both more than hinted at their respective relationship statuses on Instagram with photos from the weekend's festivities. Rodrigo had subtly posted photos of British actor Louis Partridge in previous photo dumps, but never his face. But towards the end of a Glastonbury recap post on July 2, Rodrigo shared a clip of her dancing on Partridge's shoulders, smiling and singing along to Pulp's 'Common People.' The comment section exploded. 'The hard launch I was waiting for I'm so happy,' one fan wrote. Abrams also shared a photo of herself dancing on Irish actor Paul Mescal's shoulders over the weekend on her Instagram stories, followed by a selfie in a photo dump on her feed on July 2. 'I'm so happy for two people I don't even know,' one fan commented. 'Both you and Olivia hard launching on the feed is really special to me,' wrote another. So what is the art of the 'hard launch'? The term made waves last summer when Taylor Swift finally posted Travis Kelce on her Instagram feed. Both Abrams and Rodrigo's rumored relationships have also been in the spotlight already. Early kisses caught by paparazzi, gossip circulating social media, songs seemingly written about their partners (have you listened to Rodrigo's 'so american'?). But the 'hard launch' is about telling the world you're together, on your terms. Therapists say celebrities have myriad reasons for pulling that proverbial trigger. But whether it's a carefully curated moment or an impulsive expression of love, you can't unring that bell. "Every aspect of the relationship can become fodder for public consumption and scrutiny, putting a spotlight on the couple and creating pressure to be seen as a healthy match," Jeff Guenther, licensed professional counselor and author of "Big Dating Energy," previously told USA TODAY. "You're also leaving yourself open to increased criticism." Dating is tricky no matter who you are, especially early on before you decide to start telling people. With celebrities, not only are they opening themselves to scrutiny from their family and friends, but often the whole world. In the beginning stages, it may also seem too good to be true, and shouting your love from the rooftops can feel like jinxing it. Last summer, when Sabrina Carpenter featured then-rumored beau, Irish actor Barry Keoghan, in the music video for 'Please, Please, Please,' the song begged him not to 'embarrass' her. We can't speculate how Carpenter feels after that allegedly fizzled, but her newest single, 'Manchild,' may give listeners a clue. "When we introduce someone as our partner, there is an expectation that we've vetted this person," Kimberly Vered Shashoua, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. "It can be embarrassing to have to go back to friends, family and Instagram and update them with a breakup." Think about all the couples, celebrities or otherwise, who never announce a thing. Often, it's a matter of self-preservation. All that said, it's easy to see why celebrities might want to shout about their relationships anyway. They're just like anyone else. It feels good to be in love. "When we feel confident in our partner, it can feel great to show them off," Shashoua said. "It's a lot easier to be honest with our friends and family than sneaking around. If we're active on social media, it can feel strange to have such a big part of your life hidden." Sabrina Carpenter, hookup culture and why the way we talk about sex is changing People must weigh the benefits and risks of authenticity when publicizing a private relationship. These "depend on what celebrities are getting out of it, the impact on their personal and professional lives and whether their choices are in line with their personality and core values," Cecille Ahrens, a licensed clinical social worker, previously told USA TODAY. No matter who you are, you give up pieces of yourself during a hard launch. Ahrens adds you may receive "unwanted attention" or face "constant boundary violations." Just ask Abrams, who faced criticism as rumors swirled about her and Mescal's relationship after his apparent breakup from Phoebe Bridgers. But with enough time passed, Abrams' 'hard launch' has been met with support. The 'hard launch' can even be a business strategy: "By being open about their relationships, celebrities can connect more deeply with their fans, boosting their parasocial relationships and most likely leading to more sales or followers," Guenther said. It's a decision that requires care and conversation. But at the end of the day, at least the decision is theirs.
