With the new Baywatch reboot casting its next beach icons, everyone's asking the same question: who's going to be the next Pamela Anderson?

Foundational to a Spielbergian sensibility is unabashed wonder — an awe-inducing image that, when seen on a 30-foot cinema screen, can truly astonish. Despite Spielberg's latest summer blockbuster, @DisclosureDay, being about visitors from the stars, its moment of wonder is anything but otherworldly. The moment that will stick with theater goers far after the lights have gone up is the scene when humans see atrocities on their phones and begin to gasp. Bloodied, bruised and disemboweled alien bodies and a government that knew the truth. In showing us an audience moved to tears by these images, Spielberg hopes to remind us of the power of cinema to engender empathy—something distinctly human: ply.by/q0vzwx

Introducing your Miss June 2026: Gabrielle Richardson. Richardson grew up studying art history—on Tumblr, in galleries, in the self-produced images she started making of herself at 19. She's since co-founded Ward Gallery and collaborated with some of the most exciting artists working today. For her Playmate debut, she and photographer Shaniqwa Jarvis created something that speaks back to the history she studied—and adds to it.
