The 2024 Met Gala was not Kendall Jenner‘s first rodeo. The supermodel effortlessly walked the garden-themed carpet with a carefree, lighthearted attitude, much like the 10-time Met Gala veteran she was. Although the world’s most prestigious fashion event isn’t new to the 28-year-old, her outfit certainly was. During her Vogue interview, Jenner confided that only a mannequin had worn her gown before May 6. See her Met Gala looks and angelic transition from dark to light for two afterparties — one with Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny’s role as a co-chair of the “Sleeping Beauties” Met Gala didn’t stop Jenner from attending. After calling it quits with the Puerto Rican rapper in December 2023, she posed for cameras solo on May 6. However, the pair certainly aren’t on bad terms.

Archival Looks, Recycled Materials and Lab Grown Jewels Puts Spotlight on Sustainability at Met Gala
Fashion’s biggest night is star-studded event all around — usually with a focus on new clothes — but this year a less talked-about topic joined the conversation at the Met Gala in a big way: sustainability.
Monday night’s event kicked off with La La Anthony, a red carpet co-host for Vogue‘s livestream, proudly declaring that she was wearing “pre-loved vintage accessories” from eBay. The announcement set the stage for some of the celebrities who Anthony and her co-hosts, Gwendoline Christie and Ashley Graham, interviewed throughout the night who also showcased their sustainable red-carpet choices.
Designer Stella McCartney was joined by actress and model Cara Delevingne, singer FKA Twigs and singer Ed Sheeran on the Met Gala red carpet. The British designer created custom looks for each of her guests, all made from 100 percent sustainable materials.
The designer’s brand collaborated with sustainable jewelry company Vrai for Delevingne’s and Sheeran’s looks.

Nicole Kidman certainly turned back the clock in her Balenciaga look at the Met Gala.
Designed by creative director Demna Gvasalia, the Oscar-winning star stepped out in a 1950s-inspired white double silk bustier and flared skirt over frayed layers of black silk organza to mimic feathers. The original gown was inspired by the ruffled dresses worn by flamenco dancers, a nod to Balenciaga’s Spanish heritage.
“It was based on a dress in 1951 by Balenciaga at that time by Cristóbal,” Kidman told La La Anthony on the red carpet. “It was something that I saw in [a Richard] Avedon photo [of Dorian Leigh from Harper’s Bazaar]. I asked Demna if he was willing to reinterpret it. So he reinterpreted it in the vein of the sleeping beauties and the gowns, bringing them back to life. So I consider this to be a ‘Sleeping Beauty’ brought back to life. It’s an honor...

Have the Kardashians been “snubbed” from the Met Gala after spending years on the A-List? Over time, the family rotated who would go but there were staples always making appearances. So, what is going on in 2024? Keep reading for more details.
The Kardashians ‘Snubbed’ From Met Gala After Years On A-List?
Though the ensembles have not always been the best, the KarJenner family has been ones to watch when it comes to the Met Gala. For Kim Kardashian, she went to great lengths for the 2022 Met. She donned Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gold dress and showed how hard she had to work out in order to fit into it. Though she maintained she was a “shapeshifter,” this dress was tailor-made for Monroe. Therefore, nothing could be done for Kim when the dress did not seamlessly slide right up.

On Sept. 8, 2017, New Line Cinema/Warner Bros. Pictures released It: Chapter One, the first of two movies based on the classic 1986 novel by Stephen King and a film destined to go down in cinema history as the highest grossing horror movie of all time.
Opening to a record-shattering 124 million and eventually earning 701 million worldwide (against a measly budget of 40 million or so), It: Chapter One was also a fantastic movie. It captured both the unimaginable terror of the entity known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown (helped by a genuinely unnerving performance by Bill Skarsgard) and the emotional, coming-of-age story of the seven kids known as the Losers Club, who bond together to battle the malignancy under their town.
It: Chapter One also proved that a mainstream, high-quality, studio-backed picture could still be made from King’s work, after a nearly 20-year period in which many adaptations either did moderately well...

For Variety‘s Writers on Writers, Susanna Moore pens a tribute to “Power of the Dog” (screenplay by Jane Campion).
Jane Campion’s film “The Power of the Dog” is an adaptation of the 1967 novel of the same name, written by Thomas Savage and set in Montana in 1925. The landscape, rich with beauty and meaning, soon reveals the characters in all of their solitude and torment, and we realize that “The Power of the Dog” is something far more complex than an amplification of an idealized West and its codes of conduct. The tension that pervades the film is hard to reconcile with the masculine vitality and even brash gallantry inherent in the myth of the American cowboy.
The actors in the film, Benedict Cumberbatch (the rancher Phil Burbank), Jesse Plemons (Phil’s brother George), Kirsten Dunst, all of whom are averse to personal revelation and exposure, leave it to...

This brings to mind a recent Owen and Stephen King story, Sleeping Beauties. In this story, every woman within the world supposedly, but at the very least in one town, falls into a deep sleep as gossamer-like filaments cover their faces. If the covers are removed they become incredibly violent and assault anyone they encounter relentlessly until they’re alone again and can go back to sleep. But in their dream world, they create a new and harmonious community. Back in the real world, the men become absolutely chaotic and start to war against one another. The feeling there is without

When Rolling Stone asked Stephen King to pick his best book in 2014, he didn’t go for an obvious candidate like The Stand, The Shining, It, Carrie, or Misery. Instead, he picked the relatively obscure Lisey’s Story. The 2006 novel centers around a woman who travels to an alternate universe while trying to come to terms with the death of her husband.
“That one felt like an important book to me because it was about marriage, and I’d never written about that,” King said. “I wanted to talk about...

The first time director Jamie Babbit heard the song “Both Sides Now” on the radio, it immediately felt familiar.
She realized she knew the song, not from Joni Mitchell’s expansive library of hits, but because it had been sung at the drug and rehab center her mom ran in Ohio, with different lyrics meant to amplify the perils of addiction.
The revamped lyrics went: “I’ve looked at drugs from both sides now. And still somehow it’s drug delusions. I recall, I really don’t like drugs at all.”
“Growing up, I always thought, ‘Wow, that’s a fun song.’ I didn’t think about the lyrics. But obviously my mom was singing it because it was a drug rehab song,” Babbit recently recalled in an interview with Variety. “And then I heard the Joni Mitchell song on the radio and it had totally different lyrics.

CBS All Access‘ limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand” will premiere Dec. 17, the streamer announced Tuesday.
The series will be a weekly one, with each of the subsequent eight episodes streaming one at a time every Thursday following that premiere. As previously announced, King penned the finale and also wrote a new coda that will take the story beyond where is 800-plus page 1978 tome left things.
“During the two years we spent making ‘The Stand,’ we all felt the responsibility of adapting what may be the most beloved work of one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, but none of us could have imagined that Stephen King’s 40-year-old masterpiece about a global pandemic would come to be so eerily relevant,” said showrunner Benjamin Cavell. “We’re honored to tell this sprawling, epic story, including a new coda that Stephen King has wanted to add for decades.

Stephen King criticized the Oscars’ failure to nominate diverse artists in a Washington Post column Monday, arguing that the awards show was still “rigged in favor of white people.”
The prolific horror author noted that creative excellence isn’t limited by an individual’s background and stressed that diversity makes art richer and bolder. Though King noted that the film industry has made advances in diversity over the decades, he argued that progress was far from where it should be, especially with regards to high-profile ceremonies such as the Academy Awards.
King’s column was published around two weeks after he received criticism for tweeting that he only considered quality in art, rather than diversity. Though King elaborated in subsequent tweets that he meant to stress that an individual’s background should not impede their odds at success, there was still consistent pushback. “When They See Us” creator Ava DuVernay was particularly critical of King,...

It has now spawned a whole new sci-fi subgenre of dystopian feminist fiction, which has grown hugely popular, especially over the last few years, and has also helped elevate and amplify the voices of lots of female writers as well as shine a light on many important women's issues.

Hulu has released an interesting promo spot for Castle Rock Season 2. It takes the viewers on a 14-minute long road trip from Castle Rock to Jerusalem’s Lot and the radio is on to keep you entertained as you travel.
You are supposed to keep a lookout to see if you can see or hear anything. I will say, there are a ton of references to some of Stephen King’s popular stories including Stand By Me, Misery, Salem’s Lot, Maximum Overdrive, It, Needful Things, The Mist, Under The Dome, Pet Semetary, Sleeping Beauties, The Shawshank Redemption, 11/22/63, The Stand, The Dead Zone, and more!
For those of you who are familiar with King’s work, these references aren’t hard to catch. You just have to listen. This is actually a pretty cool promo and while it may seem boring for some, it’s exciting for the Stephen King fans like myself.

It’s been a good time lately for Stephen King when it comes to seeing his stories being adapted to the big screen and it might be that another one might be in the works. This story isn’t all his, as it has elements that are obviously different from his own thanks to the fact that he’s written Sleeping Beauties with his son Owen. There are mixed reviews about this story thus far and having read through most of it I can honestly say that it’s got the standard King feel to it, but there’s something slightly different thanks to Owen’s

Exclusive: Idw Publishing of San Diego will adapt Sleeping Beauties, the bestselling 2017 novel by Stephen King and Owen King, as a 10-part comic book epic by the international tandem of Canadian novelist Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl) and London-based artist and architect Alison Sampson (Winnebago Graveyard).
Idw has the series slated for a high-profile launch in early 2020.
Sleeping Beauties is a dark fantasy tale that some critics have framed as an gripping allegory for toxic masculinity and contemporary gender politics in the wake of the #metoo movement. In the story a plague called Aurora (named after Disney’s knackered princess) has left the world’s women in a deep, cocooned slumber that exiles them to their dreams. Society, meanwhile, is left entirely in the hands of men and quickly plunges into savagery.

Before it was even published back in 2017, Stephen King and Owen King's Sleeping Beauties was in development as a TV series at Anonymous Content, and while the news front for the adaptation has been quiet for quite some time, it's now being reported that AMC has ordered a pilot episode script for the potential series about a world where all of the women have fallen into a deep slumber... and become violent if awoken.

AMC is developing a series adaptation of the supernatural horror novel Sleeping Beauties, which comes from Stephen King and his son Owen King. A pilot script has been ordered, and Owen will write that script.
The story certainly sounds like an interesting one! It’s said to be a “timely metaphorical story about women and the gender role by imagining what would happen if men were left alone.”
The series is set “in the near future in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison. Something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent. And while they sleep they go to another place.

A TV adaptation of Stephen and Owen King’s “Sleeping Beauties” is in development at AMC, an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.
Here’s the description for the 2017 novel:
In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep: they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent. And while they sleep they go to another place, a better place, where harmony prevails and conflict is rare.
One woman, the mysterious “Eve Black,” is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Eve a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain? Abandoned, left to their increasingly primal urges, the men divide into warring factions, some wanting to kill Eve, some to save her.

This past year was simply too good for horror fans.
I wasn’t sure where to even start making a list of favorites for 2017. Theatrical horror killed it like never before, the indie scene remains vital and strong, horror TV is bigger than ever, and cult and boutique video labels continue putting out gorgeous Blu-rays of gem after gem. There’s really too much to include here. Movies like Get Out, The Shape of Water, and Raw are absolutely among my favorites of the year, but because I’ve talked about them elsewhere and they’ve previously been covered by my brilliant colleagues here at Daily Dead, I’ll try to focus on some other picks instead.
Here, in no real order, are some of my favorites in horror for 2017:

Sleeping Beauties, the new novel from Stephen and Owen King, isn't out yet, but it's already becoming a TV show!
The return of Stephen King to both big and small screens continues with Sleeping Beauties, the novel co-written with the writer's son, Owen King. AMC has ordered a pilot, according to Deadline, and a script is being penned by the younger King.
The show has been in talks since before the novel was even published in 2017. This is the first movement we've heard regarding the project since it was optioned by Anonymous Content two years ago, which is producing along with Sugar23's Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta.
Sleeping Beauties tells the story of a nightmare near future where women suffer from a horrific sleeping disease and how this affects the men of a small Appalachian town and a woman who is mysteriously immune to the disease.
