For proof that men in their sixties, and beyond, can still be stylish, you need only look at the boardrooms of the fashion industry itself. British founder-designer Sir Paul Smith, seventy-nine, is a walking billboard for the well-cut navy suit. And at the spritely age of eighty-five, Mr. Ralph Lauren is a testament that the innate sense of adventurous pleasure that style offers—be it westernwear, classic prep, or even slick Wall Street tailoring—is open to all, whatever age they may be. But some of the latest big-ticket ad campaigns have highlighted a specific demographic: men in their sixties. Designer Peter Saville, sixty-nine, appeared in a Ferragamo campaign recently. Watch collector Auro Montanari, sixty-seven, was in a recent Zegna campaign. Actor Richard E. Grant, sixty-eight, took the runway with aplomb for Burberry. Hollywood offers even more inspiration: Sixty-four-year-old George Clooney, sixty-one-year-old Brad Pitt, and sixty-eight-year-old Spike Lee remain among the most stylish men in show business. It seems sexagenarians have never been cooler. |

Before he was a Grammy-winning global megastar, the Mexican singer known as Peso Pluma met a boxer. At a private performance early in his career, the aspiring pop star was introduced to Marco Antonio Barrera, a legendary fighter from Mexico who once held world titles in three different weight classes. Barrera looked at the skinny young singer and his band and dubbed them peso pluma, or "featherweight"—one of the weight classes Barrera himself had once dominated. "He explained to me that I was a champion in that category," says Pluma, "and the name just stuck." Not only did Pluma take the moniker as his stage name, but also La Doble P (or Double P, as he's often known) embraced boxing as part of his branding. To perform his massive hit "Rubicon" at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, for example, Pluma made a video in which Mike Tyson escorted him to a boxing ring surrounded by screaming fans, and he sang while wearing a black-and-white boxer's robe. |

As of this summer, forty-four states plus Washington, D. C., now allow high school athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness. Only a handful—including Alabama and Ohio, known for powerhouse college football programs—still do not. But even among those that do, no two states regulate NIL quite the same way. The result is a messy state-by-state patchwork of rules that has created a nation of unequal opportunities for today's top athletes, leaving some blue-chip quarterbacks like Julian Lewis incredibly wealthy at a young age; others, like top quarterback recruit Trent Seaborn from Alabama, forced to either move or turn down major financial opportunities; and coaches and families scrambling to figure out how to navigate a newly monetized landscape that some experts say has the potential to undermine the entire academic enterprise as we know it. Whether the most dire predictions come true, one thing is already clear: For elite high school athletes, the days of playing purely for the love of the game, for the bright Friday-night lights that shine over your local school district, are over. |

When The Pitt premiered in January of this year, it struck a chord with audiences across the country. While premise wasn't exactly groundbreaking—each episode unfolds over the course of a single hour during a 12-hour shift in a Pittsburgh emergency room—it stood out as a medical drama that, refreshingly, focused on actual medicine. Its realism was so convincing that it left little room for disbelief; it simply felt true. The same could be said for its characters. Shawn Hatosy plays one of them: former combat medic and current E.R. doctor Jack Abbot, a character who, even after a full season, we still know little about. He's a Renaissance man who brings both skill and levity to The Pitt; self-possessed yet unafraid to be vulnerable. We first meet him in the pilot episode as he wraps up a night shift, and he doesn't reappear until a mass casualty event pulls him back for the final four episodes of the season. |

Marlon Wayans has done comedy, drama, horror, comedy-horror, drama-parody, and whiteface. He's stepped out of the shadow of perhaps the most famous family in American comedy while still working with them. Now he's the star of the Jordan Peele–produced movie HIM. After nearly thirty years of steady, often wildly popular work, 2025 might be the year of Marlon Wayans. So how did he get here, now? "I don't know, man," he says. "I just work hard." HIM is the story of Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers), a young man raised on football, now in the position of replacing his idol, the legendary quarterback Isaiah "Ze" White. In a desert training facility that evokes an Equinox built into James Turrell's Roden Crater, the two test their bodies, bare their souls, and maybe go to literal hell. HIM is Any Given Sunday multiplied by Satan, powered by what would have happened if Walter and Jesse on Breaking Bad had turned their attention to creatine. |
