Before you could casually photo-dump from the comfort of your own phone, you had to have the foresight to charge your camera battery before a night out, lug said camera around, set off the flash in dark, intimate spaces at just the right moment, and then go home and upload the photos to your computer.

For years that’s exactly what VF special correspondent Derek C. Blasberg did. From 2009 to 2012 he turned his documentation of glamorous people doing glamorous things—think supermodels and socialites at Fashion Week, art fairs, and film festivals—into a column for Interview magazine called Fast + Louche.

“I was the in-house archivist: at the end of a night out or after a trip around the world, I’d have all the evidence. What power!” writes Blasberg. “I’d dole out images to friends like a drug dealer, teasing them, bargaining for things I wanted. Memories, with leverage.”

Now he’s turned those memories into a fabulous new book, Fast + Louche, that serves as a glimpse into a bygone era of celebrity. Alexa Chung! Chloë Sevigny! Nicole Richie! Lindsay Lohan! Name an It girl and Derek’s got a photo of her.

Elsewhere in VF, before you binge Netflix’s new adaptation of Little House on the Prairie, dive further back in history and read up on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s real life story. Plus, take a trip to Paris with VF style correspondent José Criales-Unzueta, who is reporting live from Couture Week.

The Underdogs of Paris Haute Couture Week

BY JOSÉ CRIALES-UNZUETA

A Hong Konger, a Saudi, and the Indian contingent. Haute couture is one of France’s most treasured practices, but the names making waves at Paris Haute Couture Week hail from unassuming places.

What do fans of Widow’s Bay call themselves? If they don’t have a group name already, they’ll need to think of one before September—because the Apple TV sleeper horror hit just had a very good morning. The show—which basically boils down to “what if the mayor from Jaws lived on an actual haunted island?”—is officially the third-most-nominated program at the 2026 Emmys, outranking both old favorites like Saturday Night Live and shiny new ones like its network mate Pluribus. (The Pitt and Hacks, naturally, got the most nominations of all.) And the performance of Widow’s Bay wasn’t the only big surprise from Emmy morning. Rebecca Ford and John Ross have the full rundown of Emmy snubs and surprises, including what was, to my mind, the biggest shock of all: Jeremy Allen White losing out on a lead-actor nod. (You’re telling me The Bear might not be a comedy after all?)

Elsewhere, Chris Murphy harmonizes with Lin-Manuel Miranda in a first look at the Hamilton multihyphenate’s new movie—it’s about the horrors of the internet, a topic we all know well—and Erin Vanderhoof analyzes Prince Harry’s latest woes. Turns out he picked a particularly rough time to visit his old stomping grounds.

The Whole Truth

In more Emmy news, Mariska Hargitay has been announced as the host for the awards’ 78th annual ceremony, which will be held on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Vanity Fair’s Joy Press spoke to the actor last year ahead of the debut of her touching documentary, My Mom Jayne, which paints an unvarnished portrait of her Hollywood bombshell mother and reveals the identity of Hargitay’s true biological father.
