Daisy Jones & The Six, an upcoming Amazon Studios series based on the best-selling book.And for every Hot Girl Career, there's a Hot Girl Summer to embrace. Waterhouse is embarking on a tour with Father John Misty this fall, but before that, it's going be a chill two-month stint ahead. To get into the spirit of (arguably) the best season of the year, the model and actor stopped by 's summer pop-up in the heart of Chelsea in New York City.

Ellise Shafer With the release of her debut, Suki Waterhouse is throwing caution to the wind.Despite titling the album “I Can’t Let Go” — out today via Sub Pop — Waterhouse hopes that by releasing the 10-track project, she’s setting free not only haunting memories, but her own inhibitions about fully pursuing a music career.Since 2016, Waterhouse has released one single per year — with the exception of 2019, which brought both “Coolest Place in the World” and “Johanna” — each more fully-formed and sonically interesting than the last. Slowly building up a passionate fanbase on the internet, devotees of Waterhouse — who is also a model, actor and entrepreneur and was a bonafide “it girl” during the golden age of Tumblr — have been begging for a full-length project for years.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor“The only way that this could be more elegant,” said Father John Misty as he surveyed the crowd in New York’s legendary Rainbow Room, a venue that epitomizes elegance, “is if we had three tables heaped with shrimp cocktails.”He wasn’t wrong. The opulent venue, opened in 1934 and located on the 65th floor of 30 Rock, has multiple chandeliers, a sunken, circular dancefloor and a 15 or so floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of Midtown Manhattan and beyond, with the Empire State Building’s nightly light show occasionally distracting from the performance onstage.

Chris Willman Music WriterThe artist formerly known as Josh Tillman has taken fans through some twists before, but “Father John Misty: big band leader” is probably not a curve very many saw coming as a career development in 2022. The eclectic singer-songwriter certainly hasn’t been shy about employing orchestration before, to the point of bringing his own sizable string section out on tour on his last pre-pandemic outing, probably at considerable personal expense.
