My crush is Kamala Harris with a little side of Tim Walz. I’m very excited for November 5, and I hope everyone reading this gets out there and votes.

Myself! I’m in my self care era, and I’m all about giving myself positive affirmations in the morning. 

Jessica Andrews, senior content director of shopping, PS
Morris Chestnut has a cameo in Reasonable Doubt on Hulu, so I was feeling him. Who’s the guy that Lori Harvey’s on and off with? Damson Idris! He was at Tommy Hilfiger in a suit, looking like a million bucks. It’s got to be him. And of course, my longtime crush, Usher. I was at his concert this week. It was incredible. And then he was at Ralph Lauren looking like a million bucks, as well. So, it’s all about them.

I’m a big football fan, and my husband will be okay with me saying this. I was just watching the interview with Tyreek Hill from the Miami Dolphins and what happened with him being arrested on Sunday. I was like, “Oh, he looks cute right now.” I don’t know what it is. I think it was more so how he handled the situation. I thought he handled it like a leader. I’m attracted to personality and vibes more than physical, so that was attractive.

Christian Juul Nielsen, creative director, Aknvas
Sabrina Carpenter. I’m loving her mood. I’m loving her way hair! When she posted that hair, I was like, “Wait, is she really doing that?” But it’s iconic. Everyone’s doing it, and she looks amazing. I want to see her in Aknvas every single day!

My man crushes right now are Glen Powell and Jon Hamm.

Kendall Becker, trend forecaster, Trendalytics
My forever crush is Jacob Elordi.

Samantha Olson, assistant news editor, Cosmopolitan
Right now, it’s Demi Moore. She looked insanely good at the Met Gala, and I rewatched her movie with Miley Cyrus, LOL, a few weeks ago. I just kept thinking, “Wow, what a woman.”

My current crushes, I would say, are Shawn Mendes and Benson Boone. I am obsessed with both of those guys in terms of their perpetual shirtlessness. That’s always something that I look for in my crushes. I just think the hot boy, constant shirtlessness thing is a vibe. So, I would say those two gentlemen!

I’m perpetually crushing on Kristen Stewart, always.
