Brandon Sklenar Says Wearing Same Pin as Justin Baldoni Was Coincidence

Brandon Sklenar is setting the record straight about wearing the same pin as Justin Baldoni earlier this month.
When the 1923 star stepped out for the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 2, he accessorized his look with a floral brooch. “Long live the (brooch),” he wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of his outfit.
Fans soon noticed the pin matched the one worn by his It Ends With Us director-costar Baldoni, 41, at that film’s New York City premiere held Aug. 6.
Was there any hidden meaning behind that pin choice? “Honestly, no. I wish I could say there was,” Sklenar told PEOPLE exclusively on the red carpet at the SXSW Film & TV Festival premiere of his thriller Drop on Sunday, March 9.
“That was a total happenstance,” the actor, 34, added. “I woke up in the morning and saw an article and I was like, ‘Oh, damn.’ I literally had no idea. I had an idea I wanted to wear like a floral brooch of some kind and that was the color that I liked the best. And, lo and behold, someone also wore that prior to me wearing it.”
In Drop, directed by Christopher Landon, Sklenar stars opposite Meghann Fahy, who plays a widowed mom on a first date that goes south when she is terrorized by threatening anonymous drops to her phone.
Sklenar told PEOPLE of working with White Lotus alum Fahy, 34, “It helps if you have a real relationship and you really vibe with the people you’re working with and you can have a good time. We had a really, really good time making this movie. I think you can feel it in the movie.”

Blake Lively, Sklenar’s other It Ends With Us costar, also opened her latest film, Another Simple Favor, at SXSW, attending the festival in Austin, Texas on Friday, March 7.
In December, Lively, 37, sued Baldoni, accusing him and others of sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign, which he denies. Baldoni countersued Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist in January, alleging defamation and extortion.
While at the recent Vanity Fair party, Sklenar was asked by The Hollywood Reporter how he is “hoping to support” Blake Lively “during this time.”
He responded, “It’s a tough situation. I just hope everyone remembers what the movie is about and why we made it in the first place. It’s about love. It’s about supporting women in general and helping people through tough times.”

The actor, who played Lively’s onscreen love interest in It Ends With Us, added that the movie has “helped so many people.” Said Sklenar, “I just want people to remember what it’s about, why we made it, and to kinda keep it on that. That kind of, like, core ethos, you know what I mean?”
Drop is in theaters April 11.

‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins shares his favorite fashion and skincare finds

Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves — so you can shop like you’re famous, too.
Walton Goggins has an eye for style.
You may know him as a “White Lotus” zaddy, a firebrand televangelist on “The Righteous Gemstones,” or the ruthless Ghoul from Prime Video’s “Fallout” — but offscreen, the dapper actor flexes serious entrepreneurial and fashion skills. Just don’t ask him about snakes (one got bitey while filming that scene in Thailand).
When not starring in concurrent HBO hits, the “White Lotus” favorite is also a co-founder of the award-winning craft distillery Mulholland Distilling. And he’s the brains behind Walton Goggins Goggle Glasses. Debuted in November 2024, the unisex sunglass brand has become a TikTok phenom and a coveted accessory at Page Six HQ.
Below, Goggins shares some of his fashion, skincare and home essentials with Page Six Style, including a luxurious face wash, “perfect” button-up and the pillow that ensures he gets quality shut-eye every night.

“I met the owners of Giuliva Heritage, Gerardo and Margherita, while traveling in Rome. Their designs are effortless and cool. When you’re wearing them, you feel like you’re on a vacation that never ends. The Teo sweater is one of my favorites.”

“Becoming the Ghoul on ‘Fallout’ is very difficult on my skin. I was looking for something that would clean and revitalize at the same time. A makeup artist suggested this. It has made all the difference.”

“I love being a business owner. Walton Goggins Goggle Glasses are a fashion statement! They are a visual representation of what’s possible with GoDaddy Airo. Anyone with a big idea, like these delicious shades, can make their vision a reality too.”

“A white button-down is a staple in my wardrobe. I don’t like to wear shirts that are pressed. The more you wash it, the more lived-in it gets. The Ludlow Premium is the perfect shirt to do that with.”

“I spend so much time in hotels and I am always looking for the perfect pillow, trying to replicate the good night’s sleep at home while on the road. I was staying at one particular place and had one of the best night’s sleeps I’d ever had. I asked the hotel to find out who made these pillows. It turns out they’re located in Brooklyn! I bought them and now sleep like a king.”

“I’ve been obsessed with Hoorsenbuhs jewelry for a long time. Robert, the owner, built his whole company on this one design. It feels timeless to me.”

Michelle Monaghan Dishes on Her Self-Tanning Routine for ‘The White Lotus’ (Exclusive)

Michelle Monaghan was committed to her role in The White Lotus.
At a recent New York City event celebrating her as U Beauty’s first-ever brand ambassador, the actress, 48, shared the methodical beauty routine she implemented for her character Jaclyn. On season 3 of the hit HBO series, Monaghan plays a TV star on a girls’ trip at The White Lotus resort in Thailand.
In order to maintain Jaclyn’s tropical, effortlessly glam look throughout months of shooting, the actress self-tanned weekly.
“I committed to it every Sunday,” she tells PEOPLE. “So everybody’s like, ‘We’re going to go down to the beach and for a swim.’ And I was like, ‘I can’t do it.’ Instead, I was putting on the self-tanner and waiting for it to dry for six or seven hours because it was so humid.”

She continues, “And it became this ongoing joke that they just knew. They’re like, ‘Oh, don’t bother asking Michelle. She’s doing her tan.'”
Monaghan adds that the tanning process helped her to get into character.
“But once I put that tan on and then that blonde hair and I felt like I was inhabiting a very specific character,” she explains. “And then she wore a very bright pink coral-y nail polish that we would have to do once every week or two.”

“I loved being blonde so much and I was nervous because I am a brunette,” she says her blonde hair transformation on the show. “I knew that [series creator] Mike [White] really wanted me to be blonde. And I was like, ‘Of course I’ll do whatever you want.’ But I was worried because I knew that I was going to have to go back to being brunette for a film afterwards.”
Like her tan, Monaghan’s blonde locks required rigorous maintenance. So, celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham took several trips to Thailand, where the season was filmed, to keep Monaghan’s color in tip-top shape during shooting.
The White Lotus season 3 also stars Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Jason Isaacs, Leslie Bibb and Walton Goggins, as well Natasha Rothwell, who is reprising her season 1 role as spa manager Belinda Lindsey.

Selena Gomez lusts after Benny Blanco on ‘I Said I Love You First’: review

Music review
I Said I Love You First
Selena Gomez is hot for Benny Blanco — and she’s not afraid to moan it.
On their new joint album, “I Said I Love You First” (out Friday), the pop star lusts after her music producer fiancé, shedding any remnants of her good-girl image as a former Disney darling while chronicling the couple’s nearly two-year love story.
After a sappy, spoken-word introduction thanking her support system, a pre-Blanco Gomez finds herself brokenhearted on “Young and Hotter Than Me,” a plaintive Lana Del Rey-esque piano ballad about a philandering ex she wishes she “never loved” (ahem, Justin Bieber).
And yet, nature takes its course and Gomez, 32, ends up falling back into bed with her former boyfriend “one last time” on the mostly Spanish-language mesmerizer “Ojos Tristes” before Blanco, 37, enters the picture.
“Now I found another hand to hold,” she declares on the boppy kiss-off “Don’t Wanna Cry,” a career highlight and early contender for song of the summer.
Gomez and Blanco get hot and heavy quickly, with the tongue-in-cheek “Sunset Blvd” documenting their carnal first date.
“I can’t wait to hold it, to hold that / Big, big / Hard …,” she chants before pausing for suspense then finally shouting, “Heart!” (Thank God.)
Evidently, the date ended well because Gomez gets even friskier with Blanco on “Cowboy,” a breathy ditty about riding him like a, well, you get the picture, and “Bluest Flame,” an overly AutoTuned, Charli XCX-influenced mishmash in which the lovebirds “go all night.”
Gomez finds Blanco so magnetic, in fact, that she claims to have effortlessly wiped any lingering memories of her “embarrassing” past love on the savage slow burn “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten.”
By “I Can’t Get Enough,” the pair are so intoxicated with each other that they feel like the only two people in the world (and perhaps the only two who can stand the song’s maddening hook).
“I Said I Love You First” allows Gomez — who last released an album in 2020 — to take center stage again as a pop princess, while Blanco stays in the background and focuses on the project’s sometimes stellar, other times chaotic production.
The Grammy nominees close the curtain on a vulnerable note, with Gomez telling Blanco on the voicemail-like “Scared of Loving You” that breaking up would destroy her.
It’s a good thing these two were made for each other, then.
