Remembering the Oscar-winning Actor, Director, Producer, Star, and co-founder of the Sundance Film Festival & Institute — ROBERT REDFORD — who passed away a year ago today at the age of 89.

We say goodbye to visionary designer and our dear friend, Bob Mackie. One of Hollywood's most influential creatives, Mackie's designs brought ingenuity and glamour to generations of icons – leaving an indelible sparkle on fashion forever. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

Remembering Amy Winehouse on her birthday. 🤍

Farewell to visionary costume designer Bob Mackie (1939-2026), whom I met at the Robert Osborne tribute in 2014 On his arm was national treasure Mitzi Gaynor, whom Mackie dressed for decades. I asked for a photo. "Lemme primp first!" Mitzi said, puffing up her hair. "Me too," Mackie said. Legends.
