Darlings, we feel like you need a special LOunge full of distractions and stimulation because we have something to tell you that you might not like to hear. It’s WEDNESDAY and Christmas is three weeks away. Instead of panicking, you should simply plant your ass on some velvet and live in denial for as long as you can. It’s the T Lo Way.

 

Sarah Paulson on Those ‘All’s Fair’ Reviews, Prepping to Play Aileen Wuornos and Finally Betting on Herself: ‘I’m Looking to Be a Little More Fearless’
The second someone told a teenage Sarah Paulson she resembled Julia Roberts, it was over. To be fair, her locker at her NYC performing arts high school was plastered with photos of America’s Sweetheart, so the comparison wasn’t totally out of the blue. Nevertheless, she ran with it.
“That was all I needed to hear to decide that this was what I wanted to do and be,” says Paulson. “I dreamed of doing romantic comedies and working with incredible directors like she was working with. She just seemed like she could do it all, and she can. But it was definitely not working out that way for me. I was not going to become this sort of internationally beloved superstar. That was not my journey.”

 

Prince Harry Jokes That Meghan’s Meal Isn’t Quite “As Good” As Her Mom’s in Netflix Holiday Special
The Duke of Sussex made a brief but hilarious appearance in “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration.”

Season two of Meghan Markle’s Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, has come to an end, but on Wednesday, December 3, she released a special holiday episode on the streaming service. Along with welcoming friends and cooking gurus to take part in decorating, crafting and kitchen projects, the Duchess of Sussex also got husband Prince Harry to take part in the festive fun during With Love Meghan: Holiday Celebration.
While whipping up a beet salad and her mom Doria Ragland’s gumbo recipe with Top Chef star Tom Colicchio, Meghan admitted that her husband wasn’t going to be a fan of one part of their meal.

 

Could Wicked Part 3 Really Happen—and If It Did, What Would It Be About?
Although Wicked: For Good ends Elphaba and Glinda’s arc, Universal is reportedly mulling ways to expand the Wicked Cinematic Universe.
Wicked: For Good soared into theaters in November, earning $147 million domestically on its opening weekend and becoming the biggest global opening of a Broadway musical adaptation of all time. (It even topped last year’s Wicked.) Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that while Wicked: For Good decidedly reaches the end of the yellow brick road—as well as the end of the musical on which the two films are based—the creatives at Universal are apparently considering ways to expand the franchise into a third feature film. (For the record, I would know: I host Universal’s official Wicked podcast.)

 

The 2025 Netflix Christmas movies, reviewed
Christmas Eve theft, exes gone awry, and a woman dressed as Santa. All this and more are part of the streamer’s festive offerings this year.

’Tis the season when families gather around the fire, pour themselves a cup of eggnog, and put on a Netflix Christmas movie with a ludicrous premise and all your favourite stars from ’90s television.
This year the streamer has stepped up its game once again. Though it has only been in the festive movie business for a few years, it’s delivered an impressive lineup for 2025, featuring a mum posing as Santa (just go with it), a classic rom-com, a sexy French offering, and a Christmas Eve heist, because why not.
We at Glamour took the liberty of watching each Netflix Christmas movie and giving our honest opinions on the films, so you can be prepared this holiday season.

 

Anita Pallenberg, Sophia Loren & Sharon Stone In Casino: Emily In Paris’ Costume Designer On All The Key Season 5 References
Emily in Paris wouldn’t be the show that it is without a number of things: Lily Collins as its indomitable lead, Emily Cooper; the impossibly glamorous Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as her venomous boss, Sylvie; the musical stylings of Ashley Park’s Mindy; the picturesque surroundings of various European capitals; and, of course, the costumes.
With her Eiffel Tower-printed blouses, retina-searing berets, high-low hemlines and Audrey Hepburn cosplay, the Midwestern marketing executive made, er, quite a splash in the City of Light – and has been upping the ante ever since. Last season, upon relocating to Rome, there were a flurry of Roman Holiday tributes. But, when we reunite with our heroine this time around, she’s much more settled in her new home. The clashing prints and occasionally mind-boggling impracticality remains, naturally, but there’s also a little more structure and grounding – more suits and jumpsuits, more trousers and shorts, a scarf tied at the neck to protect her from “colpo d’aria” (a hit of wind, as Emily explains) and more flats, all paired with Collins’s sleek new bob.

 

Since When Did Break-Ups Get So Public?
To block? To mute? To archive all couples photos? To quietly unfollow and then re-follow six weeks later to signal maturity? To not post anything for months and then hard-launch a new haircut? In 2025, a break-up isn’t just emotional, it’s a communications strategy. Once the domain of celebrities and their PR teams (back when trashy tabloids’ “SHOCK SPLIT” headlines did most of the heavy lifting, after which one celeb would call the paps to catch them having dinner with someone new, while anonymous “sources” revealed they were “so happy”), the break-up rollout now belongs to all of us.

 

Wispy Bangs Have Returned: How To Make The Subtle Fringe Work For Your Face Shape And Hair Type
A hairstylist breaks down the best styling inspiration and how to emulate the cut of the season.

Between full fringes and nostalgic side-parts, bangs of all shapes and sizes are enjoying an extended moment in the spotlight. They made a re-appearance both on the SS26 runways and on the red carpet during the Fashion Awards 2026, for which Kylie Minogue, Anok Yai and Sabrina Elba all stepped out with fresh fringes for the evening, and continue to gain popularity in salons this winter.
But for anyone who hasn’t been blessed with naturally, thick and luscious lengths, you might be wondering if a fringe can work for your own tresses, which is where wispy bangs come in.

 

Move Over, Aches and Pains: 11 Best Yoga Stretches For Easing Tension, Tightness, and Stiffness
For anyone whose hips click louder than their group chat.

I’m getting old.
Well, I’m not, not really. But as I creep further into my late twenties, the aches and pains are starting to feel worthy of someone beyond my years. They’ve even become a running dinner table topic amongst my friends. Each of us seems to have acquired a niggle, a dodgy joint or a pulled muscle we can compare over pasta, right alongside our new obsessions with homeware and the unexpected thrill of a good vacuum cleaner.
Which is to say: we’ve officially graduated to caring about things we never used to. Including, crucially, the underrated power of a proper stretch.

 

The hobo bag is back – here’s how to style it in 2026
Relaxed and roomy, 2019’s favourite bag is back on trend.

We should have known that the ‘hobo bag’ would be back. After all, fashion is cyclical, isn’t it? Back in 2019, the slouchy, roomy bag made a comeback thanks to Bottega Veneta’s Jodie bag. But the ‘hobo bag’ really laid its foundations back in the ‘90s and early 2000s, when all of the best-dressed women of the time (Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, the Olsen sisters and more) popularised the silhouette as part of the boho chic trend. Look back even further, and you’ll find the bag cropping up in the 1960s, an ally of the hippie movement and adorned with tassels. But in 2025, the bag has entered a new era.

 

Regé-Jean Page’s Erotic Thriller Series Hancock Park: Everything We Know
Hopefully it takes less time to produce than a season of Bridgerton.

While we don’t know if he’ll ever be seen again on Bridgerton, Regé-Jean Page is coming back to Netflix for another “erotic” series, which is good enough for us. The rising star, who first caught our attention as the brooding Duke Simon, just signed on for the lead role in thriller series Hancock Park, and though we don’t know much yet about the plot, the creatives attached to the project make it sound very promising.

 

Amy Schumer Responds to ‘Questions’ About Her Weight Loss
She also addressed speculation about her marriage.

The ever-candid Amy Schumer is clearing up a few things about her life right now. For starters, she’s losing weight to be healthier, and while she’s been among the handful of stars who have made aspects of body positivity part of their brand and then slimmed down, potentially creating confusion among their fans, she’s not going to let that stop her from pursuing her health goals. Schumer also addressed rumors about her marriage to husband Chris Fischer in the same slightly hard-to-read post, which looks like an Instagram Story (with overlapping text?) that was then screenshotted and re-posted on December 1, but cropped. We’ve done our best to fill in the gaps in sentences.

 

23 White Winter Nail Ideas for a Pretty and Pristine Manicure
From swirling marble patterns to lacy French tips.

From snowy ombré French tips to glazed ivory finishes, white manicures are endlessly versatile. This season, we’re spotting a major surge in soft, milky white nail colors, with a semi-sheer finish that allows the natural tones of your nails to peek through. Milky white looks ethereal on its own or as a base for sparkling, chrome-coated designs like ribbons and stars. Lace accents are also emerging as a trend, especially on French tips. The delicate pattern is perfect for providing an airy contrast to the heavier materials in your winter wardrobe, like toasty knits and leather jackets. A plain white manicure gets a festive yet sophisticated touch with a sheer layer of chrome; powders with blue or pink shimmer look especially pretty under the glow of holiday lights.

 

How to Find the Perfect Bangs for Your Face Shape
It might be time to bid farewell to your forehead—the humble bang has never been more popular. Stats from Google suggest that we’re not just scouting out new bob hairstyles to try, but different kinds of bangs, too–some of our most searched favorites include Birkin bangs (inspired by the late Jane Birkin), and those belonging to a certain Sabrina Carpenter.
But do you dare? Getting new bangs may be appealing in theory, but in practice it can be another story. Will it look good? Will I be able to style it myself at home? Will bangs suit my face? Since they take a while to grow out, it’s a good idea to heed our two hair experts’ advice and do your research before taking the plunge. The truth is that there is a set of bangs to suit everyone – all you need is some inspo, and the help of a good stylist.

 

How You Cut Garlic Matters — Here’s When to Crush, Slice, or Mince It
From raw heat to mellow sweetness, the flavor of your garlic dish starts with your knife work.

If you cook with garlic often, you likely know that its flavor changes depending on its preparation. When raw, the allium is pungent and almost hot; when pan-fried in oil, it shows a mellow, almost toasty flavor; roasted long and slow, it becomes rich and sweet. But how you cut garlic also plays a major part in how it tastes.

 

F&W’s Best Tips, Tricks, and Recipes for Holiday Baking Season
Capture the joy and nostalgia in your kitchen with these recipes for elevated classics and new takes on cookies, cakes, trifles, and pies.

Holiday baking season brings me back to being a sneaky seven-year-old licking icing off of wax paper while freshly frosted pumpkin cakes dried. Cutting out sugar cookies and decorating with kids, or putting the final touches on a gingerbread house, immediately signals that it’s the best time of the year. Warmth in the kitchen spreads not just from our ovens, but from making memories and baking up joyful bites to share with friends and family. Baking season combines nostalgia, brown sugar, and a little bit of sweet magic.

 

Regina King’s Limited-Run Syrah Is the Holiday Season’s Most Coveted Bottle
King’s new Mendocino Syrah draws on dry-farmed grapes from the Amitabha vineyard and builds on the MianU label she founded to honor her son.

Every Thursday and Saturday, Regina King lights a candle for her son, Ian Desduné. Or really, because this is how she phrases it, with him. “Human beings, we create traditions,” she says. Ian is always with her, but at certain moments, the people we miss feel more present; they are fully there with us, and we honor them with simple, meaningful gestures — the flickering flame of a candle or opening a particular bottle of wine — gestures that over the years rekindle their memory for us, again and again.

 

‘Wicked’ Costume Designer on Abandoning Glinda’s Signature Pink Wardrobe for Her New Bubble Dress and Wedding Gown
Paul Tazewell also talks Jonathan Bailey’s scarecrow transformation in ‘Wicked: For Good.’

Becoming the first Black man to win an Oscar for costume design last year was a “pinch me moment” for Wicked‘s Paul Tazewell.
“To see how my work has touched audience’s hearts, how it fills another chapter of the overall Wizard of Oz culture, is life-changing,” he tells THR.

The costumer technically touched two chapters of the Oz legacy, as his designs are once again showcased in this year’s sequel, Wicked: For Good, which sees its heroine, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), resume her quest to restore animal rights and expose the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) as a fraud.

 

Photographer Allan Tannenbaum Saw Elton John Come Alive at the Disco
Elton John isn’t just a star, but a genre unto himself, and a man whose name still refracts through decades of pop history. A new book by ACC Art Books, Elton John: Icon, chronicles his legacy through photographs, each chapter narrated by one photographer who encountered him. Among them is Allan Tannenbaum, the one-time chief photographer at the SoHo Weekly News, where he had a front row seat to downtown culture during its most combustible era, slipping with his camera between CBGB and Studio 54. It was then that he first crossed paths with John and began documenting him as he whirled through New York’s glitter-soaked nightlife scene. In this exclusive excerpt, Tannenbaum recalls Elton in his peak ’70s form: striped suits and platform sneakers, dancing with Ann-Margret and Rod Stewart, and meeting other icons that defined the decade, including our very own Andy Warhol.

Not every color will suit every space.

Selecting a bathroom tile may seem simple, but anyone who’s done it will tell you that it’s important to consider every detail—no matter how small. Color, material, and style all play a role, as well as the overall scale of your room.

12 Valuable Christmas Collectibles to Look for in Thrift Stores
These are the items that holiday collectors are on the hunt for.

Decorating for the winter holidays often comes with a built-in sense of nostalgia, as many people work to recreate the feeling of their childhood’s most magical moments. However, sourcing decorations from your local big box store often leaves you with a collection of nearly disposable pieces—many of which won’t last more than one season—that look just like everyone else’s.
“Everyone thinks today’s technology is so good, and everything is better now than it was back then,” says holiday collector John Hanssen, a member of The Golden Glow of Christmas Past. “But you cannot compare the Christmas lighting, ornaments, or decorations of the early 20th century to what is made today. What they made back then, the labor involved, the quality, the innovation—there is nothing today that compares to what was made at that time.”

 

This Overlooked Italian City Was the Nation’s First Capital—With Gorgeous Palaces and Historic Cafés
Here’s everything you need to know to plan a trip to Turin, Italy.

Imagine an elegant Italian city with a bit of French je ne sais quoi—that city is Turin (or Torino in Italian). Capital of the northern Italian region of Piedmont, Turin was part of the Duchy of Savoy, which covered the borderlands between Italy, France, and Switzerland. When Italy became a unified country in 1861, the royal family of Savoy became its rulers, and Turin—not Rome—became the country’s first capital.
