ESSENTIALS is the weekly newsletter from nss magazine, delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning.
This past week was relatively light, yet packed with events and news that are set to redefine global pop culture. The New York Knicks’ victory in Game 4 of the NBA Finals shifted the spotlight onto the Big Apple and its stars - not so much the players themselves, but rather the courtside VIPs. A few days earlier, the Monaco Grand Prix provided the backdrop for Kimi Antonelli’s continued rise in the sport, accompanied by the fashion moments that have become a staple of one of the world’s most renowned racing circuits. From Timothée Chalamet’s Chrome Hearts x Timberland boots at Madison Square Garden to Kim Kardashian’s full Gucci looks at the Grand Prix, fashion and sports went hand in hand this week.
