“I moved to New York City just after the huge blizzard in March. When I first talked to you, I was still based in LA, though I was traveling most of the time and I practically didn’t have a circadian rhythm. But I went to college in New York, have always loved New York, and have always dreamed about moving back. LA wasn’t really my speed. Working from home and being alone all the time became isolating and lonely. I like being in a walking city; I like going outside and being around people.
The 400 Club, which I co-founded with Cherry Beagles, welcomes women into sports in any way that they want. Men have created this idea that to be a true sports fan, you have to know all the players’ names, the statistics. There is this funny judgment that if someone is watching a sport just for the fun of it or the aesthetic of it, or because they liked Drive to Survive, that makes them less of a true fan. But my gateway into being a true sports fan was through pop culture, media, and fashion, not diving headfirst into data.
We hosted the first F1-sponsored female fan watch party in London in May. About 150 girls came, some for the community aspect of it, some because they really wanted to intensely watch the race, and some because they just wanted a fun night out with the girls. But the goal was the same: to create a welcoming space for female sports fans to enjoy the sport with whatever level of interest.
The 400 Club feels important to me as a manifestation of my own beliefs and need to create an inclusive space for women. Yes, there’s a certain subgroup of women who, no matter what I do, really dislike me, but most of the hate I’ve received over the years has come from men. When I was traveling on tour, it was, ‘Stop following your boyfriend around. Get your own life.’ And now that I ‘have my own life,’ some people are still mad. There’s just always something.
But I’ve been very political and very vocal since I joined social media. Maybe over the last couple of years I’ve skewed a little more anti-man, but now that I’m not in the confines of having to behave a certain way because of tennis fans or tennis culture, I’ve definitely gotten more comfortable being outspoken and stirring the pot more. It’s been nice.
GOING OUT
I’ve been going out a lot more in New York, but I should point out that nightlife in LA is dead. That’s one of the reasons there’s been this mass exodus out of the city. I would never step foot into LA clubs; they’re so, so scary. I’d go out maybe twice a year. It was such an anomaly that if I called one of my girlfriends and asked her to go out, she’d drop everything.
In NYC, I go out four nights a week sometimes. I will say that reservation culture is not fun—it was not like that the last time I lived here. A couple of months ago, I started making reservations for the next month. I’m totally contributing to the problem, but there’s no other way. If I want to do a weekend brunch at Dante, I have to make the res weeks in advance or it’s just not happening.
My favorite place right now is St. Jardim in the West Village. They have an orange wine that I really enjoy, and they have one dish that I crave so much. It has stracciatella with cucumbers and a crunchy-something on top, and it’s the most delicious thing I’ve ever had in my life—that’s my 5PM, beautiful-day-out, ideal scenario.
Another good go-to is Lure Fishbar for oysters and a dirty martini. I went to The Odeon recently, but their martinis are a little salty for me. Frenchette has really good martinis. And The Corner Store has an incredible sour cream and onion martini. They serve it with sour cream and onion potato chips on the side.
I love going to dive bars, dancing, all of the above. I love the gay night at the Boom Boom Room. I’ve done a night at Basement. The culture of going out has really revolved around sports since I moved back, so I’ve spent a lot of time at Rocco’s, one4one, and Yesterday’s. It’s been great.
SKINCARE
I’ve been experimenting more with my skincare routine now that I’m back in New York and the water is consistent. I always—no matter what—take off my makeup when I come home at night. I would still wash my face if I were on a different planet; I’d find a way. I literally couldn’t tell you the last time I fell asleep in my makeup. It must have been high school.
The Elemis cleansing balm is amazing at melting everything off gently. PanOxyl is my second cleanse, especially if I’m breaking out. Otherwise, I have a Prequel Gleanser in my medicine cabinet, too. Honestly, I don’t have a really consistent routine right now. Whatever is in my cabinet works. But I still cleanse morning and night because I’m very acne prone—it’s also summer in New York.
I just started using Allies of Skin’s Copper Tripeptide serum. Skinceuticals’ P-TIOX anti-wrinkle serum is newer in my routine, too, but I’ve used their C E Ferulic for a long time. Like everyone says, it smells like hot dog water. The Ordinary makes a new serum with volufiline, an ingredient blend people call “filler in a bottle.” It’s supposed to plump your skin, so I put it on top of my light Weleda moisturizer.
My eyes tend to be pretty dry, so eye cream is essential. I’ve been using a brightening one from Tatcha, but I love Ole Henriksen’s Banana Bright. It’s been a part of my routine for seven years at this point, and it’s great under makeup. I like sealing that in with eye patches, like the ones from Elemis or Summer Fridays.
MAKEUP
I’m a full beat girl, all the way. I basically have my routine down to a science, but I worked with Australian makeup artist Bianca Brown for a shoot in Sydney in January, and it was the best makeup I’ve ever had done. There’s something about the way that Australians do makeup that’s so bronzy and glowy—and fake freckles are so pretty. She was in New York a couple months ago, and I paid her to come over and teach me how to do the makeup.
I used to put foundation straight on my face—I would literally pump the bottle directly onto my skin—but she told me I have to warm up every single product on the back of my hand. Somehow that makes makeup look so much more natural. My go-tos are Armani’s Luminous Silk in 3.5 and Dior’s Backstage Face & Body in 2WO. If I know I’ll have a long day, I’ll use Haus Labs’ Triclone in 260, too, because it lasts really long.
The Chanel Les Beiges bronzing cream in Soleil Tan Bronze is as amazing as everyone says it is, but I recently got Rhode’s Pocket bronzers and they’re incredible—I love Sunbed. A lot of bronzers are kind of dry, but these are so creamy—very much the same consistency as their blushes. They’re so easy to blend, and I never end up with any harsh lines.
Concealer comes on after the bronzer. I wear Saie’s Slip Tint in 7. My under-eyes are really dry, and that’s the most hydrating one I’ve found. Next: brows. I’ve been loving Mecca Max’s Brow Guru clear brow gel with Chanel’s brow pencil in Blond Doré over that. I learned that trick from a makeup artist, too. She said brushing them up with the gel lets me see the spots that need filling. Otherwise, I’m too heavy-handed.
For mascara, Tarte’s tubing Tartelette XL does the job. But first I use YSL’s Lines Liberated eyeliner in Deconstructed Brown. She taught me how to smudge it out so it looks more natural. Before, I would use liquid eyeliner and do a really harsh line. I’m not great at eyeshadow—partially because I’ve never been a big eyeshadow girl, so this is new to me—but I have a few palettes I love. I’ve been experimenting with Patrick Ta’s Major Dimension Essential Artistry Edit in Light. But the makeup artist taught me to use bronzer as eyeshadow, and that looks best on me.
Rhode’s Toasted Teddy is my favorite blush right now. I used to put blush on the apples of my cheeks, but now I put it in the center, right under my eyes.
Then I’ll do my Wonderskin lip stain in Charming. It goes on blue, so it’s a little insane-looking, but the color it leaves behind is so pretty and really lasts. While it’s drying on my lips, I set my face with Laura Mercier setting powder. I used to just take the powder and bake it on my face, but I’ve learned to rub it on the inside of my wrist first and only then place it under my eyes, on my forehead, and on my chin. It looks so much better that way—life changing. I lock that in with a spritz or two of Iconic London’s setting spray.
And then it’s back to my lips. I line them with Make Up For Ever’s Wherever Walnut and finish with a lip gloss like Dior’s Lip Glow oil in Poppy Coral [Editor’s note: discontinued] or Fenty’s Gloss Bomb in Hot Cherry.
HAIR
One of the most stressful things about moving to a new city is finding new people, and I’m so glad I found Jean Pierre Sosa. He did my color recently in his gorgeous new salon in Chelsea. He does blondes really well.
I had a half-up, half-down signature style for years, but I’ve been trying to wear it down more. It goes up in a ponytail a lot, too. Dae’s taming wand is so good for flyaways. Amber Fillerup, Dae’s founder, was the first influencer I ever followed when I was 13. She still lived in New York at the time and was pregnant with her first baby. The day she followed me on Instagram, I lost my mind.
I wash my hair two to three times a week. Oh God, I have like 18 shampoos in my shower right now. I know there’s Kérastase’s Blond Absolu and Redken’s All Soft. Less conditioners. [Laughs] But I do love Moroccanoil’s Perfect Defense heat protectant. I love that it comes in a continuous spray bottle because I actually feel like it’s getting all of my hair. Before that, I like to run Olaplex’s No. 6 leave-in through my hair—or sometimes I’ll add it in as a mask if I’m doing a slick bun before a workout.
I like to rough-dry my hair with the Dyson Airwrap, smooth it out, take a really thick barrel and curl it underneath, put my hair in rollers, and take them out as I’m about to head out. I get this really nice, voluminous blowout. Then I add some texturizing spray—right now, I’m using Amika’s—and I’m out the door.”
