The Sweet Life of Mack and Brenda
Cosmopolitan US
|Spring 2025
The very private couple is finally ready to hard-launch.

On Brenda: Heavy Manners tank. Simon Miller pants.
On Mack: Vintage t-shirt, The Society Archive. Bode pants. Mack's own necklace and ring (worn throughout).
Have you heard? London Tipton is marrying Kevin McCallister. It's the crossover of your after-school appointment TV dreams, the joining of two young adult dynasties, Disney shacking up with John Hughes. But first, they have to find a wedding planner.
"Do you not want to marry me?" Macaulay Culkin asks his betrothed, Brenda Song, over lunch. His not-wife of almost a decade giggles at the suggestion. She's been wearing a ring (bigger than my apartment and also nicer than my apartment) for the past few years. "I'm fine if we don't," promises Macaulay-no, please, call him Mack-"I just want to know."

On Mack: Merz b. Schwanen t-shirt. Sleepy Jones boxers. The Elder Statesman socks. Cartier watch. Mack's own bracelet (worn throughout).
"We talked about eloping," Brenda offers as explanation for the delay. "But I was like, 'If we eloped, my mom would have a heart attack that she wasn't going to be there..." Mack shakes his head at the thought of hurting the feelings of his almost-mother-in-law. "I wouldn't even!"
