#JonVoyage, RIP 301+, Time’s VR cover: What was in and what was out

The biggest hip-shaking moment came when Lenny Kravitz had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on stage. Finally, it wasn’t just you: it really did feel like everyone was out of the office this week. Here’s a look of what’s in and what’s out for the week ending of August 7.
