I didn’t wait until I felt ready to build a film studio. I just said yes and figured it out from there!

Kaufman Astoria Studios. CiGive. None of it came from a clear path. It came from committing before I had the answers.

The next chapter of your life may be nothing like you think it’s going to be. And the good news is, the best adventures rarely are! 🎥🩷✨

This week, world leaders are back at the UN, and I keep thinking about the day I spoke at the General Assembly at the UN on Sustainable Development Goals. Among the audience was the UN representatives and the Youth Assembly honor students selected from all over the world.

The 17 goals aren’t abstract. Ending poverty, climate action, gender equality: they happen because people decide to show up and say yes. And this next generation is ready to.
Which goal matters most to you?

So saddened by the passing of the legendary fashion and costume designer, Bob Mackie 💔🕊️

Bob didn’t simply dress the stars, he created magic and made everyone look and feel beautiful 💃🏼 From Cher, Diana Ross and Carol Burnett to Elton John, his dazzling imagination transformed fashion and entertainment forever!

I feel so fortunate to have shared many special times with him. A true original whose brilliance, joy and sparkle will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Bob. Your light will continue to shine. ✨🤍✨🤍✨

There’s nothing like live tennis in New York in September 🎾💙🏆 the crack of the ball, the crowd holding its breath between points✨

Yesterday I got to watch Coco Gauff up close, a champion who’s been proving herself since she was a teenager, and watched her power through to the semifinals🌟❤️🏅

Sometimes you don’t have to discover the star 💫 you just have to be there when she’s brilliant! Grateful for days like this!! 😊💕
