Watching Sophie Turner and Jonathan Van Ness Meet for the First Time Is Pure Joy


It’s already been well-documented that Sophie Turner had a great night at the 2019 MTV VMAs. She rocked out to Normani (as one always should), got very excited to take a photo with Lizzo, and hijacked her husband’s moon person after the Jonas Brothers win.

She also met Queer Eye‘s Jonathan Van Ness, which looked incredible from the photos, but now we have video evidence that it was epic for both parties. In true JVN fashion, he reacts to seeing Turner with a scream that, indeed, should only be reserved for when the Queen in the North calls out your name and approaches you with open arms.

“I’m so happy for your ending, oh my God,” he says, speaking of Turner’s character Sansa Stark ending up ruling the North on Game of Thrones. “I was so relieved.” Then he appears to whisper in her ear, “It was the only one I could stomach.” (Many fans of the show were less-than-thrilled with the final season, to the point that some drew up a petition to have it remade.)

It’s a true mutual admiration between these two as they tell each other how incredible they think the other is. Van Ness also congratulated Turner on her “gorgeous summer”—which, of course included her wedding to Joe Jonas.

Speaking of, Turner makes sure to call him over to meet JVN too—and the two men bow down to each other. JVN is always such a positive force on Queer Eye, and it’s so lovely to see he’s exactly the same when meeting the super-famous.

Honestly, this whole video is exactly the midweek mood lifter we all needed. I, for one, will be keeping it tucked away for a re-watch the next time I’m having a bad day. A Sophie Turner and Jonathan Van Ness podcast needs to happen immediately.

Jonathan Van Ness Is Essie’s First Nonfemale Brand Ambassador


It’s been a long road, but we’re finally starting to see beauty brands put their money where their mouths are when it comes to inclusion. From truly expansive shade ranges to body-hair representation in ads, brands are painting a realistic picture of the people who actually use their products. This audience is expanding to include men and nonbinary people as well (of course, that doesn’t always go as planned).

The latest brand to join the party: Essie, who just announced its first ever nonfemale brand ambassador, Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness. The partnership is here just in time for Pride Month. Can you believe?

He shared the news in an Instagram post this morning, June 6, celebrating individuality and pride. “I’m so honored to announce I’ve teamed up with @essie as their first nonfemale ambassador in celebration of Pride! For me, polish has always been a form of self-expression. Right now that means this mosaic rainbow mani moment. Wearing it proud!”

JVN has been known to rock a rainbow mani, and in the Essie campaign he shows off a custom rainbow manicure that mirrors his signature style of painting only a few nails.

In the comments of JVN’s Instagram, many left messages saying they were so excited to share with their sons. “I’m showing this to my son, Sam, who was bullied last fall for wearing nail polish to his kindergarten class. THANK YOU!!” writes one Twitter user.

Campaigns like this show that beauty is so much more than skin-deep. This line of thinking is central to Van Ness’s beauty philosophy, who focuses on how Queer Eye’s subject’s feel in addition to how they look, no matter their gender. Hopefully, a JVN beauty line is in the works, but until then we’re excited for this Essie partnership!

Jonathan Van Ness Geeked Out Over All the Celebs at the Emmys, and I've Never Felt More Seen


Last night’s Emmys received a much-needed dose of electricity when Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Bobby Berk, Antoni Porowski, and Karamo Brown (a.k.a Queer Eye’s Fab Five) hit the stage to present the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. No one was more excited to be there than Van Ness, though, who spent basically all of Emmys weekend geeking out over his favorite celebrities—so, in other words, doing exactly what you or I would do.

It all started at the Annual Netflix Emmy Nominee Toast on September 15 in Los Angeles. In between chatting up his Queer Eye co-stars, Van Ness found some time to kick it with Diane Keaton. Just look at his smile in the pic, below. He’s very aware he’s in the presence of royalty and no doubt asked Keaton, “Where the hell is your Oscar for Something’s Gotta Give?

Van Ness posted the same photo to his Instagram account and captioned it, “The defining moment of my life, like you guys. When I looked up and saw none other than Miss Diane Keaton, I clutched my pearls and gasped in a silently audible way from my heart chakra I’ve never heard. My fashion icon, my First Wives Club icon, my world. Omg.” Don’t tell me you wouldn’t post literally the same caption verbatim if you were in this situation. We all would. We all love First Wives Club.

At the same party, Van Ness also posed for a pic with Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, writing on Instagram, “Eleven degrees of OMFG.” Relatable content.

The actual Emmys were just as exciting. Here, Van Ness is pictured laughing with Mandy Moore and (in my mind) thinking, “Please let me style your grandma Rebecca wig on This Is Us.”

It’s almost a given he’d pose for a group selfie with Will & Grace star Megan Mullally. Gay legends supporting gay legends!

Tina Fey would make a great addition to the Queer Eye squad, don’t you think? She could be tasked with making people funnier. (See her photo with the Fab Five, below.)

Van Ness later snapped a pic with The Crown star Claire Foy and called her “mom” on Instagram. Spoken like a true super-fan!

And he essentially wrote the same thing about his photo with Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke: “Found my dragon mum.” (Van Ness created a known parody series of GoT called Gay of Thrones).

I’ve never felt more seen! Thank you, Jonathan Van Ness, for letting me know it’s OK I haven’t stopped crying about A Star Is Born since the trailer dropped. Deep down, we’re all just a bunch of stans.
