The Strategist Kids’ Department got the details for Rue Rose Taylor Shumpert’s Actor Awards outfit
If you ask The Strategist Kids’ Department, the star of March’s Actor Awards (previously known as the SAG Awards) was Teyana Taylor’s 5-year-old daughter, Rue Rose Taylor Shumpert. So who — you may be wondering — was she wearing? Liza Corsillo reports that her full skirt, ruffle-collar shirt, and striped cardigan are made by the Italian luxury kids’ brand Monnalisa. “Stock is limited and some sizes have already sold out, but if you have a child in your life who’s in need of some not-too-fussy formalwear, don’t dillydally,” writes our senior editor Jen Trolio.

The Strategist Beauty Brief reviewed Jones Road’s latest launch
“Jones Road Miracle Balms have been my secret for glowing skin since their 2020 debut,” says our beauty writer Krista Bennett DeMaio, who typically uses bright shades, such as Miami Beach, for cheeks and lips and metallics like Golden Hour as a highlighter. She gave readers of The Strategist Beauty Brief her review of the newly launched mini Miracle Balms: “They’re cute but also much easier to toss into an evening bag and use to touch up my glow on the go.”
