This week’s New Yorker of the Week? The radiant, risk-taking queen of Astoria herself: Jessie Jolles.

If you’ve ever spotted a curly-haired brunette strutting the streets in neon, feathers, faux fur, or anything that screams “YES,” chances are you’ve just witnessed Jessie in the wild. Miranda Priestly and Nigel? Sorry. Jessie is the fashion authority now.

But don’t get it twisted—Jessie’s not just a style icon. She’s a hilarious writer, director, performer, and co-host of two incredible podcasts: Happily Ever Heard of It and Middle Children. She’s also taking over your TikTok and Insta feeds with comedy that serves looks and laughs.

She was a joy to interview, a dream to behold, and an easy choice for this week’s NYC royalty.
