At Puck’s second annual Stories of the Season awards event, held at Sunset Room in Los Angeles, our resident fashion authority and author of Line Sheet, Lauren Sherman, sat down with White Lotus star Parker Posey for a lively fireside chat.

In conversation with Lauren, she broke down what “comfortable life” means to her, whether the best roles these days are on film or television, and her hands-on involvement in costume design. We’ve distilled and lightly edited the highlights below.
