Podcaster turns heads on red carpet

Monica Lewinsky is reclaiming her life – and turning heads –on the red carpet.

The “Reclaiming” podcast host attended Thursday’s opening night performance of “Good Night, and Good Luck,” the Broadway debut of legendary screen actor George Clooney in New York City.

Lewinsky, 51, turned heads on the red carpet wearing her signature black in an off-the-shoulder dress, which featured dramatic asymmetric ruffles, as her brown locks were pulled back into her typical half up-down hairstyle.

The play is based off of Clooney’s six-time Oscar-nominated film, which was released in 2005 as a response of sorts to the Iraq War.

The political drama’s stage adaptation, which opened April 3 at the Winter Garden Theatre, features the Oscar-winning Clooney’s portrayal of CBS news icon Edward R. Murrow’s legendary exposé on then-embattled Senator Joseph McCarthy. He co-wrote the script with longtime collaborator Grant Heslov and played a supporting role in the original movie as CBS News producer Fred Friendly, recasting himself this time as Murrow.

Like Clooney, Lewinsky is in a season of reclamation. On March 2, the anti-bullying activist and Hollywood producer made her rare annual appearance at this year’s 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party after the ceremony.

Monica Lewinsky launches ‘Reclaiming’ podcast with celebrity guests

Earlier this year, she launched her new podcast “Reclaiming” and retold the story of her journey from scrutinized White House intern to Hollywood producer and anti-bullying advocate in the show’s first episode.

“Coming out of ’98, I lost my anonymity, I lost my future, I lost my sense of self, I think I lost trusting myself in many ways,” Lewinsky said during the first episode, referring to the 1998 scandal after a marital affair with then-President Bill Clinton.

“I fell in love with D.C. and the White House and the job and the environment and then, very unfortunately, I fell in love with my boss who was married and also the most powerful man in the world,” she said. “What followed was an inappropriate relationship that lasted for two years.”

So far, the podcast has featured actress Olivia Munn, tech journalist Kara Swisher, ’80s cultural icon Molly Ringwald, “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.

Monica Lewinsky: Bill Clinton should have resigned over affair scandal

The show’s latest guest is Beanie Feldstein, who famously portrayed the now-podcaster in “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” which Lewinsky produced.

Lewinsky also appeared on a Feb. 26 episode of “Call Her Daddy,” telling host Alex Cooper that Clinton should have resigned in the wake of her affair and detailing how the scandal would have been framed differently in present day.
