Welcome to your Monday Pop Culture Fix, my friends! Wishing you a week of good and sweet and gentle things arriving in unexpected ways!

+ The Cut’s new EIC, Lindsay Peoples Wagner, hosted a dinner party in Malibu with Lena Waithe, Melissa King, Cynthia Erivo, and a bunch of Porsches (the cars, not de Rossi).
