Elaine’s Bar and Restaurant – London, UK
Darlings, it TUESDAY and the only way to deal with that tragic fact is to spend it in a dazzlingly swanky LOunge, forgetting all your cares and woes. Sidle up and get yourself the first in a string of cocktails for the day.
Cate Blanchett on Her One Note When Joining ‘Disclaimer,’ Portraying a Victim of Abuse and How She Landed That Surprising ‘Squid Game’ Cameo
Cate Blanchett is no stranger to playing complicated, misunderstood women. But in Apple TV+’s “Disclaimer,” Alfonso Cuaron’s seven-part series about a documentarian whose deepest, darkest secrets come to light in a novel written by an unreliable narrator, the two-time Academy Award winner, and now three-time Emmy nominee, was tasked with embodying an embattled woman who loses control of her own story.
“The challenge for me, and I suppose the painful reality, was that when you play a central character in a narrative, you invite an audience not necessarily to have empathy with you, but you invite them into your character’s point of view,” Blanchett says from her home in London. “Disclaimer” was the “antithesis” of that conventional wisdom, forcing Blanchett to sit in others’ snap judgments of her character, Catherine Ravenscroft, until she finally reclaims her story in the harrowing finale.
Happy Victims: Inside the lives of Tokyo’s most obsessed fashion collectors
As Kyoichi Tsuzuki’s cult book is reissued by Apartamento, the Japanese photographer takes us back to the heady days of early 00s fashion
What makes a ‘happy victim’, as defined by Japanese photographer Kyoichi Tsuzuki in his 2008 photo book of the same name, comes down to a singular obsession. “[They] love clothes so much that they’ve trimmed the three necessities of human life – food, clothing, and shelter – down to just one,” he wrote at the time, “and then not just any clothes, but a particular brand that they collect at the expense of all else.”
An unemployed woman wakes up at 3pm in her rickety apartment, mills around at the mall, and returns home in the early hours of the morning to fall asleep amid her Alexander McQueen collection. A teacher at a fashion college organises his whole life, from how he spends his salary to where he chooses to eat, around his Margiela wardrobe. A young mother’s apartment in Tokyo – where space is notoriously expensive – overflows with Gucci handbags, clothes and shoes.
Denée Benton on The Gilded Age Finale and Peggy’s Happily Ever After: ‘It Felt Like a Moment That Was Bigger Than Me’
The actor opens up to Glamour about why filming the season-three finale was so meaningful, and what she hopes to see happen in season four.
When Glamour first interviewed Denée Benton about playing Peggy Scott on The Gilded Age, before season one had even aired or the show became the pop-culture phenomenon it is today, she called the role a “manifestation” of everything she’d been dreaming of.
If only she’d known then what was still to come: After two seasons spent unearthing the character’s tragic backstory, grieving the death of her son, and narrowly avoiding an affair with her married editor, Peggy Scott got something of a glow-up in season three. Her clothes and mood are lighter, her career is taking off, and she’s found love with Dr. William Kirkland (Jordan Donica), a handsome doctor from a well-to-do family who genuinely supports her ambition. Of course, this being The Gilded Age, their romance isn’t without some drama—mainly in the form of his disapproving mother, played by Phylicia Rashad.
Clueless is back – Alicia Silverstone has teased details of the 90s classic reboot
As if!
Nineties nostalgia lovers, this one is for you. The Clueless reboot is happening, and Cher actor Alicia Silverstone has opened up about how she feels about its return. She will executive produce and reprise her iconic role.
“I’m really excited about it,” Silverstone said in an interview with Today. “I think we’re going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honour what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher.”
“So we want to honour that, but also bring something fresh and new to it,” she added. “I’m confident that we’ll be able to do that, but we’re in baby stages right now.”
Why Fans Are Convinced That Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Have Broken Up
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are one of the most talked-about couples in the world. And from their “intense” start to the year over award season, to the reports that they were “practically living together”, the A-list pair has been front and centre in 2025.
Jenner and Chalamet have been dating since April 2023. But despite the interest around their relationship, the Hollywood couple is notoriously private, refraining from publicly commenting about their personal lives.
Still, the pair continues to be a paparazzi favourite, regularly seen out and about together from their summer holiday in Saint Tropez, to a Nicks Game in May earlier this year.
The Royal Family’s Latest ‘Concerns’ Over Harry and Meghan’s New Netflix Deal
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had renewed their multimedia deal with Netflix. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex initially signed a contract with the streaming platform in 2020, worth a reported $100 million, and in the years that followed the couple created various shows – from their tell-all documentary, Harry & Meghan, to the lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan.
Just last month, sources had claimed that the couple would not be renewing their contract with Netflix. However, it has since been announced that Harry and Meghan have signed a “multi-year, first-look deal” with the platform – though one of the key differences between their renewed deal and their previous contract means that Netflix will have the power to approve or refuse the content that they create.
How I Cut My Hair Styling Time to 5 Minutes Without Sacrificing Perfect Waves
Salon style in record time
Despite being a beauty editor for over a decade, when it comes to styling my hair, I’m incredibly lazy. I love products and tools that require minimal input and maximum return, whether that’s a dry shampoo that doubles as a texture spray to instantly add movement and banish oily roots, or a hairdryer with an attachment to smooths and dries in as little time as possible.
My reluctance to spend more than a nominal five minutes on my hair every morning is exactly why ghd’s curling tools have long been my default.
Strapped For Time? Merit’s Innovative New Cleanser Will Speed Up Your Evening Skincare Routine
Double cleansing at double the speed
I am a busy mother of two, which means that my own priorities are pretty low down on the to-do list. From the moment I wake up at 6am (no alarm needed FYI, because who needs one when you have an early-rising two-year-old?) to the moment I turn off the bedside lamp at 11pm, I am working to a strict schedule. There’s a lot of admin when you become a grown-up with dependents. Which means that everything I do—from drop-offs and cooking meals to coffee breaks and self-care must be time-efficient. I rely on quick make-up products in the morning, and my beauty routine is super speedy. In short (because I have things to do), I don’t have time to double cleanse. It’s too time-consuming, and by that point in the evening, I’m struggling to keep my eyes open.
Wedge sneakers are back – are you ready?
The painfully 2010s heel is the unexpected boot trend everyone will be wearing this autumn.
Please, not the wedge sneakers…
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but footwear recently has been kind of… ugly. We’ve seen the rise of literal gloves for your feet in the form of Vibram FiveFingers. Boxer boots joined the canon of sports-related trendy items that aren’t going anywhere near a gym. And, lately, we’ve been seeing the sort of flat-soled, slouchy boots that were popular in the ’00s and early 2010s. (Depending on your age, you might associate them with boho style icons like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, or the ridiculous fits on the 2010s Disney Channel.)
How to Style a Bob Haircut for a Totally Effortless Look
It’s easier than you think.
If you’re looking around and noticing everyone around you has a bob, you’re not alone. Learning how to style a bob haircut is important if you’re going for the big chop. As seen from Sofia Richie Grainge’s effortless French bob and Leslie Bibb’s sharp “c-nty little bob” to Lily Collins’s super-sleek Italian bob, nailing that effortless look is essential. But first you’ll want to find the right bob haircut for you.
How to Style Capri Pants Like a Fashion Editor From Summer to Fall
These trendy pants are actually the perfect transitional piece your wardrobe needs.
There’s no trend I welcomed back quite like capri pants. One look at Bella Hadid in three-quarter-length pants and a cropped blouse, and I immediately started planning how to style capri pants for myself. It isn’t that I’ve grown tired of my skirts or wide-leg jeans; it’s more that the styling potential for capri pants feels infinitely more abundant, thus sparking my creative need to piece together cute outfits for the summer and fall.
The Broadway Lover’s Guide to Dining Like Lin-Manuel Miranda in NYC
We asked the Tony Award-winning Broadway star for his go-to spots in NYC – in the Theater District and beyond – as he celebrates 10 years of “Hamilton.”
Last Friday night, people hanging out on Astor Place couldn’t have suspected that a trio from the original Hamilton cast was performing in The Public Theater (where the original off-Broadway production debuted a decade ago) or they would’ve swarmed the place. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Leslie Odom Jr., reunited for a meal with Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders as part of the credit card’s Summer, Reserved series.
During a panel discussion, the actors who played Alexander Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, and Aaron Burr compared nightly Broadway performances to dinner service at a restaurant.
The Only Tomato You Should Use for Sauce, According to Chefs
You can turn any tomato into tomato sauce. But one consistently turns out a rich, velvety sauce for pasta and plenty of other dishes.
Making tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes is a labor of love — it takes time to remove the skin and seeds, cook out the water, reduce the sauce to a thick consistency, and season to perfection. But the sweet, pronounced tomato flavor is well worth the effort.
The first step to a great homemade sauce is knowing which type of tomato to use. While you can technically cook any type of tomato into a sauce, some are better suited to the job than others. Cherry and grape types of tomatoes may taste sweet and juicy out of hand, and big heirloom beefsteaks might be perfect when sliced thick for a BLT, but that doesn’t mean they’ll reduce into a gorgeous sauce.
These are the best tomatoes for tomato sauce — and how to make the most of them while tomato season lasts.
Bleached Brows Are Back—And Celebs Like Zendaya and Jenna Ortega Are Leading the Charge
The look is easier to pull off than you think.
Where did all the eyebrows go? Every once in a while, there’s a space where beauty and fashion meet and cohabitate in perfect harmony. The aesthetic decision is able to transcend the runway and settle into the mundane everyday. Right now, that space belongs to the bleached brow. Once a staple of underground club kids and high-concept fashion shows, the look has been reclaimed by celebrities like Jenna Ortega, Julia Fox, and Zendaya, each of whom has stepped out with barely there brows that make you do a double-take.
How to Never Get Over Anyone
Actress and comedian Delaney Rowe on the masochistic pleasure and profound importance of not moving on from your exes.
It starts with an innocent curiosity. The same one urging you to pick at an ingrown hair like a guitar string. The need to excavate this rebel strand from beneath the skin becomes ferocious. The deeper you dig, the redder it becomes, the wider your wild eyes grow, the more you regret not being consistent with your laser hair removal. And only until skin is torn and blood is smeared and the thick hair springs free, are you satisfied. You’ve accomplished your mission. But now, you’re in stinging pain, with an eyesore much worse-looking than it was before you touched it, likely to become infected, perhaps scar, and certainly erode your confidence while wearing a bikini or during the strip tease you intend to perform for the man of your dreams. (You haven’t met him yet, but he’s coming.)
Taylor Swift Reveals New Album ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ in Teaser for Travis Kelce’s Podcast
The superstar confirmed her upcoming 12th album during an Instagram video for the upcoming special episode of ‘New Heights’ on Wednesday.
Taylor Swift is officially entering her next era, with the superstar announcing her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, during a teaser for an upcoming special episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast on Wednesday.
The new album — her 12th studio effort since her 2006 debut — marks Swift’s first new project since releasing The Tortured Poets Department in April 2024. Just over a year later, that album is already six-times-platinum, according to the RIAA, and it was nominated for album of the year at the 67th Grammy Awards.
35 Best LEGO Sets for Adults and Fans Who Want a Challenge
When it comes to LEGO, it’s not just for kids!
My house is full of completed LEGO sets are everywhere, and they’re mostly not my daughter’s — they’re my husband’s. (And man did I earn aura points with him when I got him the X-Mansion set for Christmas last year.) I know I’m not the only one living with an AFOL — an Adult Fan of LEGO. “Kidults” are a growing segment of the toy audience in general, and LEGO is certainly on it, putting out bigger and better sets that appeal to those 18+.
Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale Inspired ‘Emily in Paris’ Costume Choices
When “Emily in Paris” costume designer Marylin Fitoussi learned that Season 4 of the Netflix series would take its titular character to Italy, she saw it as a perfect opportunity to pay homage to her love for black-and-white films of the 1940s and 1950s — and pay tribute to such cinema Italiano stars as Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale.
At the end of Season 4, Emily (Lily Collins) heads to Rome and finds herself enamored with the city and with Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini). To reflect that, Fitoussi took a more romantic approach to Emily’s outfits so that she’s “more relaxed and forgets about her Instagram for a bit.”
“I’m the Clock Twink”: Ben Ahlers Tells Kiernan Shipka About Growing Up on The Gilded Age
Both Ben Ahlers and Kiernan Shipka have had the unique experience of being one of the youngest actors on the set of a beloved, long-running period drama. For Shipka, of course, it was Mad Men, in which she played Sally Draper from the ages of seven to 15. And for Ahlers, now 29, it’s been HBO’s The Gilded Age, the glossy upstairs-downstairs drama of 1880s New York which aired its season three finale this past weekend. There, Ahlers plays footman and watchmaker Jack Trotter, though the show’s rabid online fanbase refers to the character with an amusing shorthand. “Apparently, you’re the clock twink,” Shipka said when she got on a Zoom call last week with her former Chilling Adventures of Sabrina co-star. Below, two of the industry’s most captivating young actors get deep about snacks, wrestling, and growing up on television.

6 Nuts and Seeds That Have More Protein Than an Egg
Supplement your diet with these healthy plant-protein sources.
Protein seems to be on everyone’s minds (and plates) these days, with many of us getting our fill from fish, beef, chicken, or plant proteins like beans, avocados, tofu, and tempeh.
