When looking toward an uncertain future, there’s plenty to be afraid of, particularly for the young and systemically underserved communities throughout the globe. But what if we were somehow able to let go of that fear? What if, by delving into such nuanced topics as mental health, individuality and alienation, poverty, and the complexities of young Black motherhood, we were able to find the connective threads that bind us together and look forward at a future with no barriers or boundaries . . . and, fundamentally, with no fear? What would that look like, and who would we be? That’s precisely what a powerful new art and culture exhibit, “Future Without Fear,” seeks to explore. With a mission to elevate the voices of a generation at risk, six world-class artists—Kennedi Carter, Naima Green, Abdi Ibrahim, Clifford Prince King, Doug Segars and Magdalena Wosinska—have come together to create intimate, emotional imagery focused on the collective human experience.    Photograph by Magdalena Wosinska, provided by "Future Without Fear"   The work of these artists showcases how it’s no easy feat to navigate through this moment in history—how young people are burdened by a lack of access to resources that would allow them the space to dream about their future. But, in addition to these difficult realizations, their work centrally celebrates the vision, tenacity and optimism of those working to lead us to a better future.

In Miami, a night at the theater means a night at the Adrienne Arsht Center. It is one of the largest performing arts complexes in the world, featuring a dramatically light-filled, geometric design that connects its two thousand plus-seat theaters across Biscayne Boulevard. Home to the Florida Grand Opera, Miami City Ballet and New World Symphony, the complex holds approximately 400 live shows a year. While it's a definite stop on Broadway tours, the true beauty of the Arsht Center is its vast original programming, performances and festivals which allow local artists and groups the opportunity to take the big stage. As we celebrate Miami icons this month, here are a few can’t miss original shows on the Arsht Center’s calendar this year.

You could snap a photo every day for ten years and still not capture all the beauty of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens’ curves and angles. This is South Florida’s rendition of an Italian Palazzo, where meticulously trimmed topiaries and rose gardens share the soil with palm trees and philodendrons, and each manicured pathway leads to a new place in which to ponder or pose. The mansion and gardens sit on only ten of Vizcaya’s 50 acres, so you'll have many things to discover and experience indoors and out as you spend a day exploring the property. We invite you to read on and learn more about this magnificent estate, and then toast its 100th birthday with an inspired cocktail at Time Out Miami.

For a skyline that rises brazenly towards the future, The Freedom Tower stands out as a majestic symbol of Miami’s past. But don’t mistake it for a relic; for almost 100 years, this historic building has found a way to make itself useful, adapting to the needs of its community and shouldering almost a century’s worth of hopes and dreams. The Freedom Tower has had almost as many lives as Miami itself and today, it is an important cultural center operated by Miami-Dade College (MDC). It houses the lauded Museum of Art and Design (MOA+D) as well as the MDC Special Collections, whose exhibitions explore the cultural evolutions of the Americas with particular emphasis on the Cuban diaspora. Honor this iconic Miami landmark and toast its century-long impact with a special themed cocktail at Time Out Market Miami!

Perfectly symmetrical and pastel buildings. Breezy verandas and windows with “eyebrows.” Neon trimmings and terrazzo floors. With over 800 designated historic buildings between 5th and 23rd streets, architecture buffs have a lot of ground to cover when exploring South Beach's Art Deco District. Throughout the 1930s and ’40s, South Beach’s forefathers lured architects to build a city in the sand with the aesthetic du jour at the time—a blend of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne. The intention was to attract middle class vacationers throughout the Great Depression, though as the decades went on and the buildings grew taller, the glitterati began to descend upon Miami as well. South Beach is always evolving, but our iconic buildings remain preserved in time. Here are five iconic art deco buildings to visit, all within walking distance of Time Out Miami, where a tributary cocktail awaits you.

While the experience of dating in L.A. can feel like navigating land mines, apparently Californians are the most primed for dating opportunities. With some of the best cocktail bars around and scores of fun date ideas within reach, the hardest part of dating is just finding that special person.

When it comes to Broadway shows that stop you in your tracks, MJ the Musical delivers a singular kind of electricity. Named one of our top picks for the season by Time Out theater editor Adam Feldman, this production brings the unmistakable magic of Michael Jackson that hits on all fronts: music, movement and style. From the very first beat, the show pulls you into Jackson’s orbit with hit after hit—“Beat It,” “Bad,” “Smooth Criminal,” “Man in the Mirror”—songs you know by heart and maybe a few forgotten loves. But this isn’t just a concert disguised as theater. The story uses the 1992 Dangerous World Tour rehearsals as its frame, flashing back through Jackson’s childhood and career to explore the moments that shaped his artistry and ambition. It’s structured less like a linear biography and more like a dynamic memory sequence, one that’s constantly in motion. Photograph: Courtesy of MJ the Musical That movement is no accident. The choreography, created by Christopher Wheeldon, who also directs the show, includes many of Jackson’s original steps and sequences. Wheeldon—best known for An American in Paris—goes beyond imitation. He preserves Jackson’s signature style while enhancing it through the language of Broadway, creating a vocabulary that combines theatrical finesse with emotional and physical rigor. The result is choreography that feels both rooted in legacy and freshly alive. You’ll see the toe stand, the glove pop and, of course, the moonwalk. But you’ll also see ex

いまや美容の新しいバイブルといえるTikTok。毎日のように無数のビューティーアイテムが紹介されている中、Z世代が気づかせてくれるのは、輝くためになにも高級コスメに大金をつぎ込む必要はないということだ。 アメリカの若い美容好きTikTokユーザーたちが目指すのは、「CVS」「Rite-Aid」「Walgreens」といった、どこにでもありそうなドラッグストア。プラスチックのチューブやパッケージに収まり棚に並ぶのは、実力を備えた驚くほど効果的かつ手頃な商品の数々だ。スーパーヒーローがみんなマントを着けているわけないということだろう。 ハイライトに使えるバームや、うたい文句通りの効果を発揮するマスカラなどのアイテムは、単に手頃な価格というだけではなく、すでに「定番」と呼ぶにふさわしい。付け爪も完全なるカムバックを果たし、「ヴァセリン」に至っては「スラッギング」の主成分として脚光を浴び、突如として「イケてる」存在になった。 この世代の美容通たちは、もはや無駄な演出には目もくれない。彼らの実利的かつ率直な目線アプローチが、かつての名品を現代によみがえらせ、革新的かつ意外なかたちで使用方法も再構築されている。 新たなるフロンティア、アメリカのドラッグストアのビューティーアイテム売り場のおすすめを紹介しよう。 1. アクアフォー ヒーリングオイントメント あなたの祖母は当然知っている商品だ。きっと、まだ幼いあなたのいとこも使っているだろう。Z世代は、そんな幅広い層に使われている素朴なスキンケアバームを、まるで別物であるかのように、洗練されたアイテムへと変貌させた。 この「アクアフォー」は、スキンケアの仕上げとして、あるいはスラッギングと呼ばれる就寝中の保湿マスクとしてたっぷり塗れば、肌に潤いを閉じ込めるしっとりとしたバリアのような役割を果たす。さらに、チークボーンにハイライトとして少量を、もしくは眉用ジェルとして、さらにはまぶたにそっと乗せれば、ファッション誌で見られるような艶やかな雰囲気が出せるという。 多用途ながら、価格は1杯のスムージー以下。文字通り「非の打ちどころなし」である。2. メイベリン ラッシュセンセーショナル スカイハイ マスカラTikTokのメイクアップ界にもし「象徴的な顔ぶれ」があるとすれば、本製品はその中心的存在。まつげを驚くほど長く見せ、上向きにしっかり持ち上げる効果で高く評価されている。まるでつけまつげのような華やかな仕上がりを数回の塗りで実現する、まさにドラッグストアで買える名品だ。ブラシはしなやかで、重ねてもきれいに仕上がり、通学や授業をこなし、元恋人の新しい恋を知って涙した一日の終わりでも、にじみや粉落ちが起こらないのが特徴。その人気に確かな理由が伴いながらも、多くの人の欲しいものリストに並ぶ高価なコスメとは違って店頭に在庫があり、送料もかからないという現実的な魅力もある。 3. キス インプレス プレスオンマニキュアわざわざネイルサロンで安くない料金と数時間を費やす必要は、もはやない。わずか5分でサロン級の仕上がりを自宅で実現できる時代が到来したのだ。ここに、かつては脇役に過ぎなかったプレスオンネイルチップの復活を、誇りとともに宣言したい。 「キス」のインプレスシリーズには接着剤が付いており、形状も完璧。色彩、長さ、輝きの組み合わせは無限で、コケットコアからグレイズドドーナツクロームまで、あらゆる美意識を形にしてくれる。「アイス抹茶」を数杯飲んでも、グループチャットで連打しても、さらには何晩か続くにぎやかなナイトアウトにも

At this point, we all know that no one takes skin as seriously as they do in Korea. The land of dewy, glassy, impossibly bouncy complexions has long been setting the global beauty standard, and now the rest of us are catching on—and catching up. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a trip to Seoul or a 20-step routine to tap into the K-beauty magic. In fact, some of the best (and most effective) techniques are surprisingly simple and 100% doable in your very own bathroom. K-beauty isn’t just about products—it’s a philosophy. It’s less about covering things up and more about creating healthy, radiant skin that doesn’t need a filter. It’s about rituals, textures and treating your skin like it deserves a Michelin star. Plus, the techniques are often way more affordable (and soothing) than their Western counterparts. Think at-home steamers instead of $200 spa facials, or a gentle double cleanse that makes makeup wipes look like sandpaper. Whether you're a total K-beauty newbie or just looking to upgrade your skincare game, we’ve rounded up ten tried-and-true techniques straight from South Korea that’ll have you glowing brighter than a K-pop comeback stage. Grab your headband and let’s get steamy. 1. Double cleansing This is the golden rule of K-beauty—and once you try it, there’s no going back. Double cleansing means starting with an oil-based cleanser to melt away makeup, SPF and excess sebum, followed by a water-based cleanser to wash away sweat, dirt and the day’s drama. I

5 drugstore beauty staples Gen Z is obsessed with (and you can grab nationwide) Don't worry—we've done the TikToking for you, so you can head straight to your local drugstore. Listen, not all heroes wear capes. Some come in plastic tubes and sit quietly on the shelves of your local CVS, Rite-Aid or Walgreens. Gen Z has officially made it clear that you don’t need to drop $60 at Sephora to glow like you were born under a ring light. TikTok has become the new beauty bible, and its disciples are heading straight to the drugstore aisles to scoop up surprisingly effective, budget-friendly finds that seriously deliver. From balms that double as highlighter to mascaras that actually do what they promise, these products aren’t just affordable—they’re iconic. This generation of beauty experts aren’t here for fluff, and their no-nonsense approach to beauty means they’re reviving classics and reimagining their use in innovative and unexpected ways. Press-on nails are having a full-blown comeback. Vaseline is suddenly... sexy (and the key ingredient in slugging). The drugstore beauty aisle is the new frontier, and it’s stacked with heavy hitters. So, whether you’re a beauty minimalist, a budgeting college student or just love a good dupe, here are five tried-and-true beauty MVPs that Gen Z is currently gatekeeping (but we’re spilling the tea anyway). 1. Aquaphor Healing Ointment Your grandma knew. Your baby cousin probably has some on right now. And Gen Z? They’ve taken this humble heali

Self-care has officially evolved. Gone are the days when a face mask and a glass of wine counted as peak relaxation (not that we’re knocking it). In 2025, spa culture is less about luxury and more about healing from within. Think nervous system regulation, full-body renewal and treatments that feel like therapy with extra steam. This year’s spa trends are deeply rooted in intentional self-care. They’re not just about looking good—they’re about feeling whole. As the lines between wellness, beauty and mental health continue to blur for the best, spas are stepping up to offer experiences that soothe stress, calm the mind and reset your entire vibe. And honestly? We’re here for it. So if your idea of unwinding involves more than just a jade roller and a deep breath, here are five of the most buzzworthy spa treatments trending in 2025—all designed to leave you soft and centered. 1. Mindful facial massages Facials are getting a major emotional upgrade. The new wave of facial massages isn’t just about lymphatic drainage or lifting cheekbones—it’s about tuning in and slowing down. Spa therapists are now blending breathwork, acupressure and even guided meditation into their facial routines. The result? A deeply grounding experience that calms the nervous system while sculpting your jawline. Expect gentle stretching, warm towels and lots of intentional touch. Basically, it’s like yoga… for your face. 2. Full-body exfoliation with a twist We’re not just sloughing off dead skin anymore—w
