“Sagging skin is a universal horror that we can all share in!” Nikki Glaser jokes. As the former “Dancing With the Stars” and “Masked Singer” contestant brings her set to NYC’s Beacon Theatre March 27 to 29 and April 23 to 24, she promises “the unfiltered, somewhat deranged thoughts I have as a 40-year-old woman (who looks 38½).”
Her appearance is fruitful fodder for her shows. The funny lady and proud Swiftie, who became the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo earlier this year — and is already anointed to host in 2026 — points to comedy legend Adam Sandler as her biggest fashion muse.
“He’s always comfortable and confident,” Glaser tells Alexa. “I’m jealous because he doesn’t have to do fittings ever, or wear Spanx, and he constantly gets to promote teams and things he likes — whereas my assistant made me retire 90% of my Taylor Swift merchandise. I still wear my ‘Tortured Poets’ earrings, ring and bracelet, though!”
One thing she doesn’t don are the 30-plus pairs of jeans in her closet. The reality TV lover, who is in a relationship with writer-producer Chris Convy, admits only three pairs are in heavy rotation, but she can’t bear to purge any. “In order to get rid of them, you have to try them on,” explains Glaser. “And I’m too scared to see what fits and what doesn’t, so I keep everything!” The hoarder-in-the-making has also stocked up on these items (except for the Rolex, which is still on her wish wrist).
FAVORITE BIKINI: Mikoh Talea Top and Tropezina Bottoms
“I found this swimsuit at the boutique at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, and then the brand wrote to me the next week and offered to send it to me for free! So now I have two. I love a scoop neckline on sports bras and swimwear. I wish I could find more of them.”
FAVORITE FACE: Dior Forever Couture Luminizer Highlighter Powder
“I can be heavy-handed with makeup, so I like something that doesn’t transfer that easily. I can use it liberally when I’m applying it on the go and know that I’m not going to look crazy for whatever podcast I’m running late for.”
FAVORITE SHADES: Sojos Polarized Aviator Sunglasses
“I buy these sunglasses in bulk — and that’s only because my most stylish friend once said they were cute. She could’ve just been being nice, or saying the opposite of what she was thinking, but now I have 100 pairs, so I’m stuck loving them.”
FAVORITE KISS: Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner in ‘Pillow Talk’
“The ‘Pillow Talk’ color is classic. It’s just a safe nude liner that I can trust to put on blindly in a car and not fear I’ll look insane. I also just always use it to color in my entire lip.”
FAVORITE KICKS: Schutz Ciara Pumps
“I wear these onstage. I don’t like to show my toes because I have bunions and I’m not ashamed of them, but I’ve found that people find them disturbing. And I’d rather not have more pictures of my disfigured toes on WikiFeet.”
FAVORITE BEDTIME TOOL: Manta Sleep Sleep Mask
“Sleep masks are the most important thing in my life. I couldn’t go to sleep without one. This is the best I’ve found. It doesn’t push down on your cheeks and just covers your eyes, which I feel is really important in a sleep mask. Ones I’ve used in the past push down on my cheeks and dent my filler!”
FAVORITE SOUNDTRACK: Gracie Abrams’ ‘The Secret of Us’ Deluxe Edition
“The live version of ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’ is already set to be my most played song on my Spotify wrapped for 2025.”
FAVORITE FACIAL: The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalene Serum
“I use this for everything … day moisturizer, night cream, lube. It’s cheap and it’s the thing I’ve recommended the most in my life to my friends.”
FAVORITE GLOW: Danessa Myricks Beauty Dew Wet Balm
“A touch of this goes a long way and makes me feel dewy without looking wet or sweaty. It’s a secret weapon I learned about from Jenna Kristina, who’s one of the best makeup artists I’ve ever had the honor of being touched by.”
FAVORITE WELLNESS: The Method St. Louis Moxi Laser Facial
“I just got the Moxi laser facial at The Method in St. Louis, Missouri, where I live, and I’m obsessed with it. Because although my face looked red for five days, it didn’t look patchy or beat-up like other laser facials I’ve had. I just looked evenly sunburned.”
FAVORITE FANNY PACK: Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
“I never lose it or forget it because it’s attached to my body.”
FAVORITE FILLER: Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Eyebrow Pencil
“This is a tried-and-true product from those who know. I usually like to use a brow gel as opposed to a pencil, and I usually don’t even like thick pencils for my brow, but this pencil is thick and works better than all the gels and thin pencils I’ve used before. Also, I love a retractable pencil. For some reason, I lose eye pencil sharpeners faster than hair ties.”
FAVORITE BUBBLY: Zevia Ginger Root Beer
“I drink eight glasses [of ginger root beer] a day, just like the doctor recommends. And then I probably consume around three to four Diet Cokes a week. They are a treat. They make me feel naughty. I think Diet Coke is the new cigarette. And I usually have two to three venti Starbucks lattes per day. Extra hot, almond milk, two pumps of sugar-free vanilla. I don’t drink enough water. I know that.”
FAVORITE WRIST CANDY: Rolex Day-Date 40 Watch in Oyster and Everose Gold
“I’d like to get a Rolex but I don’t trust myself to not lose it or damage it, so I’ll just stick to looking at my phone, which has had a cracked screen for over six months.”
FAVORITE PHOTO: Fine Art America “Saint-Tropez Beach #1” print by Slim Aarons
“My favorite art I have is a huge wall-sized Slim Aarons photograph of women sunbathing in ’60s France.”
FAVORITE EYELINE: Catrice Cosmetics Calligraph Pro Precise 20H Matte Liner
“The best wet eyeliner pen I’ve found was this drugstore brand I grabbed while I was performing in Europe two summers ago. Now, it’s a staple.”
FAVORITE LISTEN: ‘Las Culturistas’ Podcast
“This is my favorite podcast. Co-hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang are so smart and hilarious. I feel wittier and cooler after I listen.”
