THE MUST LIST

CHRISSY TEIGEN

If you follow her hilarious Twitter feed—where she often ribs her husband, John Legend—or have sampled a delicious recipe

from one of her Cravings cookbooks, you know the 34-year-old model/ host/author is quick with a quip. Now she’s settling real

claims disputes as a judge on Chrissy’s Court on new streamer Quibi (see page 72). Here are her rulings on the things she loves.

MY MUST LIST

MOVIE

PARASITE 2019

Written and Directed by Bong Joon Ho

“It took me way too long to see it

because I didn’t know anything about

it,” Teigen says of the Best Picture

winner. “And it ended up being one of

my favorite films I’ve ever seen. Then

I went on this crazy Bong [binge],

and I fell in love with Snowpiercer and

Mother. So that’s what I love now.”

BOOK

PEOPLE WHO EAT DARKNESS

By Richard Lloyd Parry

Chrissy Teigen’s taste in

books runs the gamut from

Jessica Simpson’s recent

memoir—“It’s really wonder-

ful!”—to true crime—“I don’t

think I can fit another

piece of info about Ted Bundy

into my head.” This 2012

thriller “about a murder in

Japan was fascinating to me.”

BONUS

KALUSTYAN’S SPICE STORE

“I love aimlessly walking

through,” she says of the

legendary New York City

Indian food shop. “That’s

a place you can go with no

list or anything and get so

inspired. It’s just walls upon

walls of spices and herbs

and things you’ve never

seen or heard of. It’s a very

magical place. I love it.”

—AS TOLD TO SARAH RODMAN

MUSIC

DESTINY’S CHILD

8 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

“We listen to Christmas

music year-round,” Teigen

says. This girl group’s

season’s greetings are

“definitely way up there.”

FROZEN THE MUSICAL

“It was beautiful,” she says

of the Disney theatrical

adaptation. “Anna and Elsa

were funnier in it than

they were in the movie, like

cheekier. Our kids loved

it. And it was great for the

adults.... They change it

enough to where it’s still

entertaining, because

every parent in there has

probably seen Frozen at

least 300 times.”

TV

CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM HBO

“We watch a ton,” she says

of the Larry David cringe

comedy. “Actually, last night,

while John was sleeping,

I watched his [episode].... It

was so funny to watch

because you could tell how

nervous and young he was.”
