I'll never forget the first time I encountered Grindr. In 2009, I was enjoying happy hour at Cobalt, a since-shuttered gay bar in D.C.'s Dupont Circle. My friend, spying the mustard skull on an iPhone (first released in 2007!) from across the room, nudged me. "That's the gay hookup app," he whispered scandalously.
When I got over the stigma of downloading Grindr, I was astounded how easy it was to flirt with nearby queer men — and to network. During RuPaul's Drag Race season 3, I changed my username to "Team Jujubee," a nod to a frontrunner, which helped me find a viewing-party friend in my neighborhood. When I lived in New York, I would sometimes engage in friendly chats with the app's gay founder, Joel Simkhai, who'd pop up on my grid from time to time.
For good and ill, tech and our relationship with it has changed a lot since the aughts. Gay apps are no longer a battery-draining novelty; for many, they're as quotidian as texting, a digital town square where a Madonna takeover and catfishing are commonplace. Many, like Grindr, are also now owned by straight people. And no need to comb the upper reaches of Cablevision's channels to find Drag Race anymore — there's an app for that too (several, in fact, depending on the region and season).
This is Out's Tech Issue, and we could think of no better cover stars that encapsulate this queer new media landscape than Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova. These queens went through the TV crucible of the House of Ru to emerge as stars of social media and the podcast world. (Their popular podcast, The Bald and the Beautiful, just signed a three-year deal with SiriusXM.) In their cover story on page 36, the media mavens discuss their dizzying rise through the digital spheres — and how their real-life friendship has kept them grounded.
Elsewhere in cyberspace, the advent of artificial intelligence has brought many miracles but also new terrors in how our data can be exploited.

But it's also important to find ways to unplug. In Out Picks, our editors highlight products that help them blissfully disconnect (page 8).

Oscar-nominated actress Naomi Watts, 57, posed for a fashion campaign with her lookalike daughter for the first time.
Watts and her 17-year-old daughter Kai Schreiber both modeled for fashion house Simkhai's fall collection.
The British-Australian actress shares Schreiber with her ex-boyfriend, actor Liev Schreiber, 58. The former couple, who were together from 2005 until 2016, also have a 19-year-old son, Sasha Schreiber.
For the luxurious ready-to-wear campaign, Camilla Nickerson styled Watts and Schreiber in glamorous outfits, from an $845 satin dress (Simkhai) to a $1,595 calf hair dress (Simkhai).
"I loved everything, and we carefully chose the pieces," Watts told Elle. "There were so many good things to choose from."

Naomi Watts and Kai Schreiber are making a compelling case against matching mother-daughter wardrobes. In Simkhai's fall 2026 campaign, there are no coordinated outfits or deliberately twinning styling moments, as one might expect from a fashionable family affair. Instead, Watts and Schreiber bring their own distinct identities to the collection—one polished and timeless, the other edgier and more eclectic.
Photographed by Mikael Jansson and styled by Camilla Nickerson, this marks Watts and Schreiber's first campaign together. (The wider cast includes Malcolm McRae, Sage Elsesser, Awar Odhiang, and Betsy Gaghan.) For creative director Jonathan Simkhai, bringing mother and daughter into the same fashion universe was a way to show how his clothes can translate across generations. "I have long been a fan of Naomi both on and off screen," he tells ELLE. "She has a timeless sense of style that feels effortless yet intentional."
As for bringing Schreiber into the fold, he adds, "I have been following Kai's modeling career and thought it would be such a great moment to ask both Naomi and Kai to take part in the campaign shoot—I can't think of a better way to showcase how Simkhai can be worn by different generations of inspiring women."

As it turns out, clothes already move pretty freely between those two generations in the Watts-Schreiber household. Watts tells me that Schreiber has recently begun digging through pieces she saved from the late '90s and early aughts—and Watts has started borrowing from her daughter's growing handbag collection, too. There is, however, one glaring hole in the family archive: "I got rid of all my low-slung waisted jeans," Watts says, "which she's so annoyed about."
