Connects you with your favorite muse
If you’ve spent the last few weeks obsessed with Ryan Murphy’s latest FX masterpiece, Love Story, you aren’t alone. The nine-episode series has completely reignited our collective fascination with the 1990s’ most elusive style icon: Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
While the show hits all the right emotional notes of the Kennedy-Bessette romance, at D-Muse Magz, we have to talk about the real breakout star of the series: the hair. Playing the “Clean Girl” blueprint herself is Sarah Pidgeon, whose transformation from a dark-haired brunette to a “Vanilla Gloss” blonde is nothing short of legendary.
Working with hair colorist Kari Hill and hairstylist Barry Lee Moe, the production managed to capture the “rich-girl nonchalance” that defined the 90s. Here is how they charted the evolution of the Carolyn Bessette look—and how you can steal the aesthetic for yourself.
The most striking part of Sarah Pidgeon’s transformation is the color. Carolyn’s hair was famously “Brad Johns blonde”—a technique pioneered by her real-life colorist that focused on thick, sun-kissed “money pieces” around the face.
For the show, Kari Hill utilized a technique she calls “foiled cashmere.” It’s a warm, golden blonde that looks expensive but never “over-processed.”
One of the most iconic looks in Love Story is the “messy half-bun” Sarah wears during the infamous park fight scene. This look is the peak of Carolyn Bessette’s “unbothered” energy.
Unlike today’s slicked-back ballet buns, Carolyn’s bun was always a bit… disheveled. It looked like she had just twisted her hair up with a pencil while walking out the door of the Calvin Klein offices.
As the series progresses and Carolyn officially becomes a Kennedy, her hair shifts from the “messy beach waves” of her publicist days to something more structured.
We see Sarah Pidgeon sporting a sleek, uniform blonde with a razor-sharp middle part. This represents the “controlled chaos” of her life under the paparazzi lens. It’s polished, high-shine, and the ultimate inspiration for the 2026 “Quiet Luxury” hair trend.
You can’t talk about Carolyn Bessette without talking about her accessories. The show perfectly replicates her knack for the tortoiseshell headband and the black headscarf-bandana.
These accessories weren’t just for fashion; they were functional tools for a woman constantly on the move. In Love Story, these pieces help frame Sarah Pidgeon’s face, emphasizing her striking blue eyes and creating that “effortless polish” that Gen Z is currently trying to replicate on TikTok.
The hair team on Love Story faced a massive challenge: how do you recreate a look that was famous for being “effortless” without making it look “forced”? By ditching the initial “icy” wigs and leaning into Sarah Pidgeon’s natural texture with hours of custom coloring, they succeeded.
Sarah Pidgeon doesn’t just look like Carolyn Bessette; she feels like her. She captures that rare 90s magic—the ability to look perfectly put together while looking like she didn’t try at all.
Are you ready to go ‘Bessette Blonde’ this spring? Or are you more of a “tortoiseshell headband” girl? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, which Love Story episode had your favorite hair moment?

If there was one moment at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, that made every millennial and Gen Z Marvel fan collectively scream into their popcorn, it was the sight of two legends walking onto the Dolby Theatre stage together. We are, of course, talking about Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans.
The duo didn’t just show up to look sharp in their Giorgio Armani and Blancpain (though they certainly did that, too); they were there to celebrate a massive milestone: 14 years since the original The Avengers first hit theaters and changed the cinematic landscape forever.
At D-Muse Magz, we’ve seen plenty of award show reunions, but the chemistry between the “OG” Iron Man and Captain America is in a league of its own. Here is why their 2026 Oscars appearance is currently the only thing anyone is talking about.
The bit started out normally enough. Robert Downey Jr., sporting a sleek forest green suit (a subtle nod to his upcoming role as Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday), began reflecting on the importance of the script.
“The script. It’s the driving force of any film, and it’s truly been a banner year for screenwriters,” Downey began.
But he didn’t get far before Chris Evans interrupted with a very specific question: “What did you get me for our anniversary?”
Evans reminded a mock-confused Downey that 2026 marks the 14th year since they first assembled on screen. Evans revealed he’d brought a thoughtful gift—a copy of the original Avengers script signed by the entire cast. Downey’s response? He handed Evans a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
“This is your valet parking ticket… you self-drove?” Evans asked, to which Downey replied with classic Tony Stark energy: “I did. I’m a man of the people. But I’m gonna need that back.”
Just when we thought the banter couldn’t get more chaotic, the duo returned later to present Best Original Screenplay. Downey “found” his real gift for Evans backstage: a shimmering, sequined thong purportedly worn by fellow Marvel alum Channing Tatum in Magic Mike.
From the audience, a perfectly game Tatum shouted that he’d actually need those back “for work later.” It was the kind of absurd, high-energy comedy that only stars as comfortable as Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans can pull off without making it feel forced.
Fourteen years might seem like an odd number to celebrate, but in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), time is everything. Since 2012, we’ve seen these characters live, die, and—thanks to the Multiverse—prepare to return.
| Milestone | Year | Impact |
| The Avengers Release | 2012 | The birth of the modern “Cinematic Universe.” |
| Avengers: Endgame | 2019 | The emotional “retirement” of Steve and Tony. |
| The Oscars Reunion | 2026 | The 14-year anniversary and the setup for Doomsday. |
The reunion served as the perfect hype machine for “Avengers: Doomsday”, which is slated for release on December 18, 2026. While Robert is pivoting to play the villainous Victor von Doom, Evans is reportedly returning as Steve Rogers, making this Oscars appearance a poignant “calm before the storm.”
Amidst the “Science Bros” banter, the pair also had a job to do. They presented two of the night’s most prestigious awards to two of 2026’s biggest creative forces:
Watching two of the biggest “franchise” stars hand awards to two of the most respected “auteur” directors was a beautiful bridge between the different worlds of cinema.
At D-Muse Magz, we think Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans are the ultimate examples of why “Chemistry is King.” Fourteen years later, they still have that effortless back-and-forth that makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with two old friends.
Whether they’re fighting over a valet ticket or a sequined thong, they remind us that at the end of the day, the best movies aren’t just about the CGI or the capes—they’re about the people behind them.
What was your favorite part of the Avengers reunion? Did you love the “Doctor Doom” green suit reveal, or were you more into Channing Tatum’s heckling from the audience? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, are you Team “Iron Man” or Team “Captain America” for the 2026 comeback?

The 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, was a night of high-stakes drama, political speeches, and historic wins. But while the statues were being handed out, the internet was busy crowned its own king. Forget the “Oscar-chasing” narratives of the past; Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio) has officially transitioned from “Serious Actor” to the internet’s favorite “Unlikely Meme Star.”
At D-Muse Magz, we’ve seen Leo go through many eras—the Titanic heartthrob, the Inception mind-bender, and the “Finally Got My Oscar” champion. But in 2026, he’s giving us something even better: pure, unfiltered, “memeable” energy.
Here is how Leonardo DiCaprio stole the show without even having to give a speech.
The night’s most viral moment didn’t come from a script; it came from a challenge. During the opening monologue, host Conan O’Brien took a moment to address Leo directly. Calling him the “King of Memes,” Conan referenced the legendary Gatsby toast and the Django laughing face before throwing down the gauntlet.
“Let’s make a new meme with Leo right now,” Conan told the audience.
As the camera panned to Leo—who was sitting with his girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti—text appeared on the screen: “TFW you didn’t agree to this.” Leo, the absolute professional, leaned into the bit. He delivered a perfectly perplexed, slightly awkward, “I-hope-this-ends-soon” smile that was so relatable it instantly crashed X (formerly Twitter). Within minutes, “Lieutenant Leo” (a nickname for his new look) was trending worldwide.
It wasn’t just the facial expressions that had people talking; it was the facial hair. Leo arrived at the Oscars sporting a thick, polished mustache that was a far cry from his usual clean-shaven or scruffy vibe.
While some fans joked he “borrowed” the look from Pedro Pascal, the real story is even better. Leo is reportedly sporting the ‘stache for his upcoming role in the Martin Scorsese film, What Happens at Night, co-starring Jennifer Lawrence.
The internet, of course, had its own theories. Captions ranged from “Leo looks like he’s about to tell me my car’s extended warranty has expired” to “He looks like the cool general in a movie who dies in the first 10 minutes.”
For years, Leo was seen as a bit of an enigma—a private superstar who only talked about “craft” and climate change. But something shifted at the 2026 Golden Globes, where a clip of him animatedly recounting a “K-pop moment” went viral.
Fans were obsessed with seeing a “chatty” Leo who claps his hands when he laughs and gets excited about Netflix’s K-Pop Demon Hunters. At the Oscars, he leaned further into this approachable persona. By playing along with Conan’s joke, he proved he’s no longer just a “prestige actor”—he’s a part of the internet’s shared language.
Though Leo lost the Best Actor trophy to Michael B. Jordan (Sinners), he didn’t leave empty-handed. His film, the political chase thriller One Battle After Another, was the big winner of the night, taking home Best Picture.
Seeing Leo celebrate with director Paul Thomas Anderson and co-star Benicio Del Toro provided a wholesome contrast to his “Meme King” antics earlier in the night. He managed to balance being a serious Hollywood heavyweight with being the guy who makes us all laugh on TikTok.
At D-Muse Magz, we’re officially calling it: Leo has entered his best era yet. He’s talented, he’s supportive of his peers (he was seen giving a massive hug to Michael B. Jordan), and most importantly, he doesn’t take himself too seriously anymore.
In a world where everything feels high-stakes, Leo’s “TFW” face is exactly the kind of levity we need.
What was your favorite Leo moment from the night? Are you a fan of the new mustache, or do you miss the classic “Titanic” look? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, which of Leo’s 2026 facial expressions is your current mood?

If you were scrolling through social media during the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, you probably saw a lot of ping-pong paddles and a lot of… tutus?
While the night was a historic celebration for many, Timothée Chalamet found himself in the hot seat. Despite being a heavy favorite for his role as ping-pong legend Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme, Timmy walked away empty-handed—and with a few new bruises from a savage roasting by host Conan O’Brien.
At D-Muse Magz, we’re breaking down the controversy that turned the “Son of Netflix” into the “Subject of the Roast” and why his recent comments on the arts might have cost him more than just “14 cents in viewership.”
Host Conan O’Brien is known for his sharp wit, but he saved his spiciest material for the front row. Referencing the drama that has been brewing for weeks, Conan wasted no time during his opening monologue.
“Security is extremely tight tonight,” Conan joked to the star-studded crowd. “I’m told there are concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities.”
As the cameras panned to a slightly red-faced Timothée Chalamet (sitting next to a smiling Kylie Jenner), Conan doubled down: “They’re just mad you left out jazz!” The joke even included a musician dressed in white playing a beat on a sculpted backside using a ping-pong paddle—a chaotic nod to Chalamet’s film Marty Supreme.
The audience roared, but for the “Chalamet-ites” at home, it was a “cringe” moment for their favorite indie-darling turned blockbuster king.
So, how did we get here? The drama started back in February during a Variety “Actors on Actors” session with his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey. While discussing the importance of keeping cinema alive, Timothée Chalamet made a comparison that didn’t land en pointe.
The Quote: > “I don’t want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.’ All respect to the ballet and opera people out there… I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason.”
The backlash was instantaneous. From London’s Royal Ballet to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, arts organizations used the moment to invite Timothée to a show—or at least remind him that their auditoriums are packed nightly. Critics argued that for an actor who prides himself on being an “artist,” dismissing centuries of high art as something “no one cares about” felt out of touch.
While the internet was busy debating whether ballet is “boring” (spoiler: it’s not), the Academy voters were making their final decisions.
Timothée Chalamet was widely considered a frontrunner for Best Actor. His transformation into the eccentric, foul-mouthed ping-pong pro in Marty Supreme was called “career-defining.” However, when the envelope was opened, it was Michael B. Jordan who took home the trophy for his electric dual performance in Sinners.
Why did he lose?
Despite the roast and the loss, Timothée Chalamet didn’t stay down for long. He was later spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking decidedly unbothered. Dressed in a sleek all-white Chrome Hearts look, he was seen packing on the PDA with Kylie Jenner, proving that even without a golden statue, he’s still winning in the romance department.
Fans on TikTok were quick to point out that even when he “loses,” he still manages to be the most talked-about person in the room. Whether he was laughing at Conan’s jokes or just ignoring them, the “Chalamet Effect” remains undefeated.
At D-Muse Magz, we think this “villain era” moment is just a tiny bump in the road for Timothée Chalamet. If anything, the controversy has given more publicity to the ballet and opera worlds than they’ve had in years!
It serves as a reminder that in the age of viral clips, every word counts—especially when you’re the face of a generation. As he prepares for the release of Dune: Part Three later this year, we’re sure Timmy will be back on that podium eventually. Maybe next time, he’ll just leave the classical arts out of his “shots.”
What do you think, Muse fam? Was the roast deserved, or was Timothée just being honest about the cultural zeitgeist? Is ballet really “dead,” or does Timmy just need to go see Swan Lake? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, who was your personal pick for Best Actor this year?

If you didn’t stay up to watch the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, let’s just say you missed more than just a few speeches. It was a night of historic “firsts,” high-stakes politics, and a literal vampire invasion at the Dolby Theatre. From K-pop making history to an awkward tie that had everyone double-checking the envelopes, the Oscars truly delivered.
At D-Muse Magz, we’re still reeling from the glamour and the grit. Here are the 14 biggest highlights that have the internet in a total spiral today.
Ryan Coogler walked away with the trophy for Best Original Screenplay for his vampire thriller Sinners. This makes him only the second Black filmmaker ever to win in this category (following Jordan Peele for Get Out). In his speech, he touchingly reminded us that “memories are all we have.”
For the first time in Oscars history, the Academy handed out a trophy for Best Casting. The honor went to Cassandra Kulukundis for One Battle After Another, proving that picking the right faces is just as important as the directing itself.
In one of the most immersive bits of the night, the Sinners cast took the stage to recreate the iconic and terrifying “I Lied to You” barn scene. Seeing Michael B. Jordan and Jack O’Connell bring that intensity to the live stage was enough to give the entire front row goosebumps.
While presenting Best Animated Short Film, Will Arnett didn’t hold back. Taking a stand for human creativity, he declared to thunderous applause:
“Animation is an art form, not a prompt. It’s people, not AI.”
Host Conan O’Brien brought the heat during his opening monologue. He took several playful jabs at Timothée Chalamet, jokingly mourning the “loss” of Timmy’s indie-darling status now that he’s a full-blown block-buster king. Chalamet took it like a champ, laughing from his seat.
In a tear-jerking moment, Barbra Streisand appeared on stage to pay tribute to her The Way We Were co-star, the late Robert Redford. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as she spoke about their “once-in-a-lifetime” screen chemistry.
For only the seventh time in Oscars history, we had a tie! The award for Best Live-Action Short Film was shared by The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva. Presenter Kumail Nanjiani had to clarify several times that he “wasn’t joking.”
Taking home Best Documentary Feature, the creators of Mr. Nobody Against Putin used their platform for a sobering political message. Co-director Pavel Talankin urged the world to “stop all of these wars now,” highlighting the dangers of state propaganda.
The most emotional win of the night went to All the Empty Rooms for Best Documentary Short. The film captures the bedrooms of children lost to school shootings. Gloria Cazares, a mother from Uvalde, stood on stage and said, “If the world could see their empty bedrooms, we’d see a different America.”
History was officially made when Autumn Durald Arkapaw won Best Cinematography for Sinners. She is the first woman ever to win this category in 98 years of Academy history.
Presenting Best International Feature, Javier Bardem took a stand. Before announcing the nominees, he stated clearly: “No to war, and free Palestine.” The Dolby Theatre erupted in a massive wave of support.
History was made for music lovers as “Golden” from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters won Best Original Song. It’s the first-ever K-pop track to take home an Oscar! Lead songwriter EJAE gave a heart-wrenching speech about the power of resilience.
After years of incredible performances, Michael B. Jordan finally secured his first Oscar for his dual role as “Smoke” and “Stack” in Sinners. He is the first actor to ever win for playing twins, and his shoutout to “his babies at home” was peak Wholesome Content.
The big winner of the evening was undeniably Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. The film took home six awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, proving that PTA is officially the Academy’s new golden child.
The 2026 Academy Awards felt like a turning point. It wasn’t just about who wore what; it was about who got a voice. From the first female cinematography win to the first K-pop victory, the Academy is starting to look a lot more like the real world.

The lights have dimmed at the Dolby Theatre, the after-parties are in full swing, and the history books have officially been rewritten. The 98th Academy Awards, hosted on March 15, 2026, was a night of long-awaited coronations, record-breaking milestones, and a few “did that really just happen?” moments.
Leading the pack was Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, which secured a dominant six wins, including the night’s top honor. Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners—which entered the night with a staggering 16 nominations—took home four trophies, proving that the Academy finally has an appetite for high-concept, personal filmmaking.
At D-Muse Magz, we’ve spent the night tracking every envelope. Here is the complete list of who took home the gold at Oscars 2026.
The “Coronation” of Paul Thomas Anderson was the theme of the night. After decades of being one of Hollywood’s most lionized filmmakers, PTA finally secured his first Best Director win. On the acting side, Michael B. Jordan received a thunderous standing ovation for his first win, while Jessie Buckley made history as the first Irish performer to win Best Actress.
| Category | Winner |
| Best Picture | One Battle After Another |
| Best Director | Paul Thomas Anderson – One Battle After Another |
| Best Actor | Michael B. Jordan – Sinners |
| Best Actress | Jessie Buckley – Hamnet |
| Best Supporting Actor | Sean Penn – One Battle After Another |
| Best Supporting Actress | Amy Madigan – Weapons |
The 2026 ceremony wasn’t just about the trophies; it was about breaking barriers.
The Oscars 2026 felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air. From the stand against AI in art during the ceremony to the recognition of global genres like K-pop, the Academy proved it’s finally catching up to the current zeitgeist.
While One Battle After Another was the night’s statistical winner, the real winner was the audience, who got to see a diverse, politically engaged, and emotionally resonant ceremony that will be talked about for years.
Which win was your absolute favorite of the night? Are you Team Sinners or do you think One Battle After Anotherdeserved the sweep? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, who do you think was the best dressed on the red carpet?

The golden statues have been handed out, the emotional speeches are over, and the Dolby Theatre lights have dimmed—but for the fashion world, the real show is just starting. If the Oscars red carpet is for “Old Hollywood” elegance, the afterparties are where the stars let their hair down and take the kind of style risks that break the internet.
From the legendary Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the LACMA to the star-studded Elton John AIDS Foundation viewing party, the 2026 post-show circuit was an absolute fever dream of sequins, archival deep dives, and “naked” dresses that redefined bodycon.
At D-Muse Magz, we’re obsessed with the details. Whether you were sleeping or just couldn’t keep up with the rapid-fire outfit changes, we’ve rounded up the absolute best looks that defined the night.
Jessica Alba proved she is still the ultimate red carpet muse. Arriving at the Vanity Fair party, she stole the spotlight in a look that felt like living art.
While Timothée didn’t take home the Best Actor trophy for Marty Supreme, he certainly won the “Best Entrance” category.
Kim K never does anything halfway, and her appearance at the Vanity Fair party was no exception.
Dua Lipa pulled double duty, attending both the Elton John viewing party and the Vanity Fair bash, but it was her violet moment that stopped our hearts.
Keke Palmer is having a major year, and her afterparty wardrobe was a love letter to fashion history.
We have to give a massive shoutout to the women of KPop Demon Hunters. Fresh off their historic Best Original Song win for “Golden,” Kim Eun-jae and Arden Cho hit the afterparties brandishing their Oscars like the ultimate accessories.
The Oscars afterparties of 2026 proved that “Quiet Luxury” is taking a backseat to Experimental Glamour. We saw more sheer fabrics, more archival pulls (shoutout to Sarah Pidgeon in custom Calvin Klein), and a lot more personality.
If the main ceremony is the “work” of being a movie star, the afterparty is the play. And from what we saw, the industry knows how to play very, very well.
Which afterparty look was your absolute favorite? Are you Team “Kim’s Icy Blue Eyes” or Team “Jessica’s 3D Feathers”? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, which star do you think had the best outfit swap of the night?

If you thought the 2026 Winter Olympics were the peak of Alysa Liu’s year, think again. On March 10, 2026, the gold-medal-winning figure skater proved she can dominate a runway just as effortlessly as a rink. Making her highly anticipated Paris Fashion Week debut, Alysa traded her skates for a front-row seat at the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2026 show, and let’s just say, the “main character energy” was off the charts.
At D-Muse Magz, we’ve been obsessed with Alysa’s “do-it-my-way” aesthetic since she first landed her triple axel. Seeing her transition from a global sports icon to a high-fashion muse at the Louvre is the ultimate 2026 crossover event.
For her first-ever fashion show, Alysa didn’t try to be anyone but herself. She stayed true to her California roots while embracing the architectural edge of Nicolas Ghesquière’s latest collection.
Fashion Fact: Alysa mentioned in an interview with W Magazine that she draws her style inspiration from her siblings. While one sister loves basics, another is “pretty emo,” and Alysa sits right in the middle—an “eclectic” blend of everything.
You know you’ve made it when your seat neighbors are the literal titans of the industry. Alysa wasn’t just at the show; she was the guest of honor in the most high-profile front row of the season.
She was spotted snapping photos and chatting with:
What makes Alysa Liu such a compelling muse for a brand like Louis Vuitton? It’s her refusal to feel the pressure. Whether she’s performing a free skate to Donna Summer’s MacArthur Park Suite or facing a wall of paparazzi at the Louvre, she carries herself with a “devil-may-care” joy that is rare in the high-stress worlds of sports and fashion.
Fans on social media have dubbed her vibe “Alysa Liu core.” It’s about being yourself, thrifting for vintage doctor’s bags in Milan, and not overthinking your look. As she told Dazed, she doesn’t even use purple shampoo for her bleached hair—she just lets it be.
Since her historic victory in Italy—where she became the first American woman to win Olympic gold in singles skating in 24 years—Alysa has been on a non-stop victory lap. From The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to the front row in Paris, her global fame is exploding.
However, Alysa is keeping it real. She recently withdrew from the upcoming World Championships to protect her well-being and “just chill” for a bit. This Paris trip was her one big “treat yourself” moment before heading back to reality.
At D-Muse Magz, we think Alysa Liu and Louis Vuitton are a match made in heaven. Ghesquière’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection was all about “preparing for adventure” and nomadic life—a theme that fits perfectly with an athlete who has spent her life traveling the world to compete.
Alysa proved that you don’t need a 10-step glam routine or a restrictive diet to be a fashion icon. You just need a killer denim set, a bright smile, and the confidence to sit next to Zendaya like it’s just another Tuesday.
Are you loving Alysa’s ‘UPS Chic’ denim look? Or do you prefer her in her shimmering Olympic skating dresses? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, which other athlete would you love to see make a Paris Fashion Week debut?

If you’ve already started binge-watching Boyfriend on Demand (also known as Monthly Boyfriends) on Netflix, you’re probably already head-over-heels for Jisoo’s newest character, Seo Mi-rae. Between the 250 stunning outfits and the high-tech VR dates with heartthrobs like Seo In-guk and Lee Soo-hyuk, Mi-rae is basically living every K-drama fan’s ultimate fantasy.
But here’s the kicker: even the global superstar herself is a little green with envy! In a recent press conference on February 26, 2026, Jisoo opened up about her role, admitting that there were moments on set where she thought, “I’m jealous—Mi-rae is so lucky.” At D-Muse Magz, we’re diving into the “homebody” heart of our favorite visual queen to find out why she’s eyeing her character’s virtual life.
For those who don’t know, Jisoo is a self-proclaimed “pro-homebody.” While we see her jet-setting to Paris Fashion Week or performing on world stages, her true happy place is tucked away at home with her games and her bed.
This is exactly why the premise of Boyfriend on Demand hit so close to home for her. In the drama, Mi-rae uses a VR device to escape the burnout of her 9-to-5 life as a webtoon producer. With just a headset, she can travel to different worlds, try out different professions (from flight attendants to prosecutors!), and date a “perfect” boyfriend—all without having to change out of her pajamas.
“As a total homebody, when I saw the device, I immediately thought, ‘You could travel through all kinds of worlds without ever leaving your house,’ and that felt incredibly appealing,” Jisoo shared during the JW Marriott press conference in Seoul.
Another reason for the envy? The wardrobe. Jisoo serves a literal “kaleidoscope of looks” in this series, wearing over 250 different outfits. Because Mi-rae’s virtual avatars change with her “monthly subscription,” Jisoo got to play multiple roles within one show.
| Mi-rae’s Virtual “Jobs” | The Vibe |
| Flight Attendant | Sharp, professional, and involved in a mid-air thriller. |
| College Student | Soft, nostalgic, and full of “first love” energy. |
| Prosecutor | Cold, intelligent, and fiercely stylish. |
| Hotelier | Elegant and high-end luxury. |
Jisoo mentioned that the variety was “thrilling,” especially the mid-flight incident. For someone who has spent years in the spotlight as a musician, getting to experience these “normal” but exciting jobs in a safe, virtual environment was a form of “healing.”
The show’s director, Kim Jung-sik (the mastermind behind Work Later, Drink Now), asked a simple question: “What if you could subscribe to love?” In the show, Mi-rae is a “scarred heroine” who has given up on real dating because it’s too much work. Between ghosting, misunderstandings, and the general “grind” of late-stage capitalism, dating in the real world feels like a chore. The Boyfriend on Demand app offers a risk-free, neat, and controllable version of romance.
Jisoo reflected on how relatable this is for people in 2026. “It didn’t feel wildly unrealistic,” she noted. “It felt like, ‘Maybe this could really exist someday?’” For a superstar who has to navigate the complexities of public dating and intense schedules, the idea of a “controlled” romance probably sounds pretty sweet!
Of course, it’s not all headsets and holograms. While Mi-rae is being pampered by virtual versions of Seo Kang-joon and Lee Soo-hyuk, her real-world life is complicated by her rival colleague, Park Gyeong-nam (played by Seo In-guk).
Jisoo noted that while she was jealous of the VR “vacations,” the heart of the drama is Mi-rae learning to embrace the “unpredictable chaos” of real feelings. Mi-rae eventually realizes that while virtual boyfriends are designed to make her happy, real relationships—with all their bumps and slow-burn yearning—are what actually help her grow.
At D-Muse Magz, we think it’s hilarious and adorable that Jisoo—one of the most admired women on the planet—wants a piece of Mi-rae’s virtual life. It just goes to show that no matter how famous you are, everyone loves a good “skip the commute” hack and a “perfect” romantic trope once in a while.
The 10-episode series has already cracked the Netflix Global Top 10, proving that we’re all just as jealous of Mi-rae as Jisoo is.
If you could subscribe to a ‘Monthly Boyfriend’ service, which theme would you choose first?
Are you going for the “Cold CEO” Lee Soo-hyuk vibe or the “Healing Romantic” Seo Kang-joon? Let us know in the comments—and tell us, do you think Jisoo should keep the long-haired “Prosecutor” look for her next comeback?

Stop what you’re doing and let’s take a second to talk about the absolute queen of the international stage: Liza Soberano. If you thought her Hollywood debut was a one-time peak, think again. Our favorite Filipina darling just graced the 23rd Unforgettable Gala (also known as the Unforgettable Awards) on March 7, 2026, and she didn’t just walk the red carpet—she owned it.
At D-Muse Magz, we’ve seen Liza evolve from the “Girl Next Door” of the Philippines to a global fashion muse, but her appearance at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles hit different. It was regal, it was sophisticated, and it was a reminder that Liza is officially “A-List” on any continent.
Liza has a gift for picking outfits that feel timeless yet totally “now.” For the 23rd Unforgettable Awards, she chose a stunning gown by Vietnamese designer Phan Huy.
The Unforgettable Gala isn’t just any awards show. It is the premier event in the U.S. that celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) excellence in entertainment and culture. For Liza Soberano, attending this event for the third year in a row is more than just a red-carpet moment—it’s about representation.
Liza has been vocal about her goal to “bridge the gap” between the Philippines and Hollywood. By showing up at events like these—alongside stars like Hudson Yang, Sang Heon Lee, and Gordon Cormier—she is proving that Filipino talent belongs on the global stage. She isn’t just a guest; she’s part of the community building the future of Asian representation.
If you think Liza has been everywhere lately, you aren’t imagining things. 2026 is shaping up to be her biggest year yet.
At D-Muse Magz, we’re calling it: Liza Soberano is the ultimate muse because she never forgets where she came from. Whether she’s in a custom Terno or a Vietnamese couture gown, she carries the grace and hospitality of the Philippines with her. Her look at the 23rd Unforgettable Awards was a regal sight, but her journey is what’s truly unforgettable.
