T LOunge for December 10th 2025

Posted on December 10, 2025

Let’s spend the holidays here, shall we? Failing that, let’s just spend the day here. It’s WEDNESDAY and this LOunge looks like exactly what the doctor ordered, if you have a really irresponsible doctor, that is. Settle in for a day of procrastinating.

‘We Did A Tantric Workshop’: ‘Hamnet’s Jessie Buckley On Her ‘Great Chemistry’ With Paul Mescal
Jessie Buckley reveals how she and Paul Mescal built their on-screen chemistry for ‘Hamnet’ through tantric workshops designed to create kinetic trust between the co-stars.
When she was filming Hamnet, Jessie Buckley dreamed that she was underwater. ‘There’s a huge stingray coming over you,’ she narrates in her meditation-app-worthy Irish lilt, ‘swallowing something that you’re trying to save that’s stuck behind a rock.’ For Buckley, who plays a mother trying to save her child in Chloé Zhao’s adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, it was one of many subconscious moments that made it into her performance. Buckley even worked with a dream coach, Kim Gillingham, to help channel those nocturnal visions into reality.
In Hamnet, Buckley evokes grief in a way possibly never seen onscreen. Though it’s a cliché to say an actor disappears into her roles, she really does subsume herself into the part of Agnes, William Shakespeare’s wife, as she has in so many other performances. Seeing Buckley as a struggling mother in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, Judy Garland’s production assistant in Judy, or an aspiring country singer in Wild Rose, I reliably failed to recognise her until the credits rolled.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in The Drama: everything we know about the A24 film
Since it looks like we aren’t invited to Zendaya’s wedding to Tom Holland, this will have to do: Getting to watch her walk down the aisle (or maybe not?) with Robert Pattinson.
A24 continues to be the indie-film house that makes dreams come true, and their latest offering, The Drama, is a modern rom-dram-com about Z and RPatz on the verge of tying the knot. If that sounds vague, well, yeah. But here’s what we know…

The Abandons season 2: everything we know about the return of Netflix’s addictive western
Saddle up for round two.
We all saw that ending of The Abandons season 1, right? And, naturally, we are all now desperate to know: is The Abandons season 2 happening? And even more importantly, when do we get our hands on it?
A Netflix western drama about two badass feuding matriarchs? Say less, we were hooked from the word go. Starring icons Lena Heady of Game of Thrones and Gillian Anderson of The X Files and Sex Education, the show follows two families locked in a bitter rivalry. After Anderson’s Constance discovers that Heady’s Fiona and her family caused the death of her son, things came to a head with Fiona’s family burning down Constance’s giant estate. Utter chaos! We need more!

25 best moisturisers for dry skin 2026, tried and tested
Face feeling a little bit parched? Say no more.
Finding the best moisturisers for dry skin is something I take very seriously, both as a beauty writer and as someone who’s always dealt with dryness, especially during winter. After years of interviewing dermatologists and testing countless formulas, I can confidently say it’s not a straightforward process. While a lot of moisturisers do a decent job at hydrating on the surface, far fewer are actually able to hold onto that moisture long term on very dry skin.

How to style a puffer jacket this winter, according to fashion editor
Don’t let the puffer wear you.
Puffer jackets are one of the few styles that actually keep me warm in the winter, but figuring out how to style a puffer jacket isn’t the easiest. As much as I like feeling as if I’m wearing an insulated comforter, I don’t want to look like I just rolled out of bed.
But one thing I’ve learned over the years of dressing for winter is that understanding your portions is key. I’m 5’2″, so I like a cropped option to avoid any awkward lengths. Other features, such as a drawcord to tighten at the waist or a funnel neck to keep me warm, are a bonus. Similar to styling a puffer vest, I recommend experimenting with oversized layers, monochromatic looks and of course, accessorising.

Best Christmas decorations to give your home a festive glow-up
From baubles to wreaths & stylish stockings.
With Christmas being this month (!), finding the best Christmas decorations should be high on your current agenda. Whether you rally the whole family together and deck the halls to a soundtrack of Michael Bublé’s Christmas, or your day of decorating is more of a cocoa-in-hand, low-key affair, you’ll know that prepping for the big day is more than just sticking up an artificial Christmas tree. Sure, that’s part of it – but there’s also the stockings, the wreaths and the outdoor Christmas lights. All of which, of course, need to be in keeping with your Christmas decor scheme.

Judi Dench Suggests Harvey Weinstein Deserves “Forgiveness”
The 91-year-old actor speaks on Harvey Weinstein in a shocking interview.
More than a year after signaling her retirement, Judi Dench, now 91, has just made a rather sensational media comeback. In an interview with Radio Times magazine, the British actor suggested that disgraced Hollywood mogul and convicted felon Harvey Weinstein has “done his time,” noting that “forgiveness” is “personal” to her.
“I saw a bit of film of Harvey walking with two sticks, and you think, Well… I knew Harvey, and I knew him well and worked with him, and I had none of that experience—very fortunately for me,” she said, referring to the hundred or so women who have accused him of engaging in sexual harassment and sexual assault over the past 30 years. (Weinstein has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.)

Colorful Eye Makeup Is About to Be the Biggest Beauty Trend of 2026
Shadows, liners, and mascaras are entering their fun era.
As a gal who wears glasses, unironically, I don’t tend to pay much attention to eye makeup trends. In the past, I’ve felt like my frames have swallowed up any eyeshadow look that I’ve done, and I came up in the 2016 era of makeup. Glitter, cut-creases, and dramatic lashes, all for that work to be covered by bifocals? No, thank you.
That being said, it is my literal job to spot beauty trends, and I would be remiss if I didn’t notice the resurgence of elevated eye makeup looks that is currently underway. “While some people may have felt intimidated by bold eye looks in the past, the new wave of fun eye makeup is all about creativity and self-expression,” makeup artist and Make Up For Ever educator, Randi Orlinsky, tells me. “It’s less about following rules and more about playing with color, texture, and shape, making it accessible for anyone who wants to make it their own.”

Chappell Roan Is MAC’s New Global Brand Ambassador: “It’s Always Glam to the Max”
The pop supernova ushers in a new chapter as a boundary-breaking beauty icon.
“It’s always glam to the max, slightly haunting, a little weird, and gorgeous,” says Chappell Roan of her iconic, ever out-of-this-world makeup looks. “I think there’s something so special about looking not just beautiful, but striking in a surreal way, while singing sparkly pop songs. It’s giving David Lynch vibes for me.” And there’s no such thing as going too far. “There’s always something in the back of my mind that is saying, ‘Is this bold enough for someone to make a Halloween costume out of it? Is this special enough for people to remember?”

In different years, she’s overseen as many as 14 varieties baked in a single day (using a single oven), by as many as five bakers (plus children), to serve as many as 60 (or more) people. For the record: We have never even come close to running out of cookies.
