13 Stylish Films to Watch Before Wuthering Heights, According to Emerald Fennell
Wuthering Heights has the world on tenterhooks. Emerald Fennell’s reimagining of Emily Brontë’s windswept classic is set to push the boundaries of the period drama, weaving together gloriously over-the-top set design with whimsical costuming, playful world building, a winking humor, and no-holds-barred melodrama like we’ve never seen before.
What films inspired this big, bold swing? Well, according to leading lady Margot Robbie, they include the likes of The Notebook, The English Patient, and Titanic—unapologetically epic romances that sweep you off your feet. But, there are many, many more.

Attention please! The rise of background noise TV shows
Streaming bosses know we don’t stop scrolling when we watch TV, and it’s led to a “dumbing down” of content.
Are you reading this article on your phone while “watching” your favourite TV show? No judgment; you’re far from the only one.
The “second screen” phenomenon tells us that TV bosses – those in charge of streamers like Netflix in particular – are more than aware that we are scrolling social media or perusing articles while consuming their content. A recent study found that 94% of 25–34-year-olds scroll while watching TV, with 1 in 3 admitting they ‘always’ do it. 91% of those aged between 35 and 44 agreed.

Why is 2016 trending so hard on social media?
Alexa, play the Chainsmokers.
Well, it’s the start of a brand new year – but instead of planning for the future and looking ahead, all anyone seems to want to do is to go back. Back to a happier, simpler time. A time when social media was a pleasant sea of cool toned purple filters and grainy iPhone SE pics; when “Closer” by the Chainsmokers or Beyoncé’s Lemonade blared peacefully from our (stringed) Apple headphones; when we returned to Stars Hollow and collectively whined about Rory’s fate; when we first met the gang in Hawkins, Indiana; when getting ready for the day meant a swipe of cat eyeliner, a skater skirt and cute little choker. I am talking about an ephemeral moment in time known as 2016.

7 best jeans for women 2026, tested and approved by editors
Saving you from a dreaded trip to the fitting room.
The best jeans for women do not exist. The best jeans exist for every woman, sure, but they’re not the same pair for every woman.
In my opinion, finding a pair of new jeans is akin to shopping for bras, and when it comes to lingerie, we know no two women are the same size. So why would denim be any different?
While the fashion industry is more diverse than it’s ever been in terms of catering to different body types and heights (particularly on the high street), it’s still got a long way to go. Shopping for denim remains one of the most tedious, tiresome and tantrum-inducing tasks a woman can endure.

Dolly Parton Celebrates 80th Birthday By Giving Back—With a Little Help From Some Famous Friends

To mark the occasion, the singer released a new version of one of her hits, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning.” Originally released in 1977, this song of hope is now reborn through a collaboration between several major female figures in American music. Parton is joined on the track by Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire, and Queen Latifah, as well as pop star Miley Cyrus.
Proceeds from the track and accompanying video will be donated to pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee.

Search For Slow Weighted Workouts Is Exploding RN – Why They’re One Of The Most Effective Workouts
For every stage of life.
Grab a chair, because we need to talk about what “effective exercise” really looks like for women today. And spoiler: it’s not gasping into a yoga mat like it’s a survival challenge. The buzz on the gym floor is that slow weighted workouts are quietly brutal, impossible to ignore, and humbling – trust me, I learned that early on. One slow squat in, and my ego quietly exited the room.
Here’s the irony: we’ve often been sold the idea that faster equals better, but maybe a slower, steadier approach actually makes more sense for women’s bodies. And apparently, everyone’s thinking the same, with searches on Google going up by +4700% in just the last two weeks.

The Shocking True Story That Inspired The Traitors Is Going Viral
The Traitors is undoubtedly the most talked-about show of 2026. And from Claudia Winkleman’s iconic knitwear to fan theories around this year’s contestants, the BBC reality show continues to make headlines.

And with the season four line-up including a secret barrister, a retired police detective and an FBI-trained traitor, season four is bringing the drama.

Dad Shirts Are the Key to Dressing Effortlessly Cool in Spring 2026
Here’s how to style six types of dad shirts with the rest of your capsule wardrobe.
Dad shirts are that find that seems like an accident, but ends up being destiny. They weren’t born to be trendy or seeking approval; they were simply there, waiting to be stolen from the family closet. They have the structure of the past and the attitude of the future. Slightly oversized, perfectly imperfect, with that “I just threw them on without thinking” energy that actually requires a discerning eye and a well-honed confidence.
Dad shirts are ideal to wear with your favorite jeans, skirts, and trousers for a stylish look in winter and spring 2026. They’re the perfect blend of classic and irresistible. With them, there’s nothing to prove: simply button them up, roll up the sleeves, and let them do the talking. And each style has its own character: from the intellectually melancholic professor to the heir who’s never ironed a garment.

Caviar Nails Are the Expensive Manicure Trend to Try This Winter
Our favorite cool girls are wearing this luxury mani.
When you think of caviar, the first thing that likely comes to mind are two words: expensive and luxurious. Well, the caviar manicure brings those same vibe to your hands. Mimicking the dark color and high shine of caviar pearls, caviar nails use a reflective cat-eye finish for the same look.
In addition to positioning the look as the perfect transitional manicure after the holidays, caviar nails are extremely versatile, making them ideal for everyday wear as well as special occasions. Cat-eye nails use fine metallic particles activated by a magnet to create a magical reflective quality. The result is a design that plays with light and changes according to the angle, creating a hypnotic finish.

If zero dry-down time and weeks of chip-free finish didn’t seal the deal, consider the various nail designs that truly shine in gel format.

Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly Had a Secret Sartorial Connection Thanks to This Fashion Designer
Oleg Cassini was the First Lady’s unofficial “Secretary of Style.”
No list of 20th century style icons is complete without two women of major political and sartorial significance: Princess Grace of Monaco and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Born in 1929 in Philadelphia and New York, respectively, both the actress and the editor rose to global prominence via their roles in Old Hollywood and Washington, D.C. In 1961, a now-legendary meeting at the White House brought the two women together in public for the first time. Behind the scenes, however, Kelly and Kennedy were already connected thanks to one fashion designer by the name of Oleg Cassini.

12 Audrey Hepburn Fashion Moments That Will Always Be Classic
Promo looks and everyday outfits included.
There is no aesthetic that achieves more Old Hollywood aura than Audrey Hepburn’s fashion. The three-time BAFTA winner was as much a fashion icon as she was a legend of the silver screen, and her most famous looks work just as well today as they did when she debuted them. “Audrey’s aesthetic was timeless, minimalist, and modern,” says expert Meghan Friedlander. From her hair to her toes, Audrey Hepburn set the stage for timeless beauty.
While Hepburn always had an innate sense of style, Friedlander cites the star’s relationship with one equally famous designer as the catalyst for her legendary aesthetic. “When [Hepburn] was teamed with Hubert de Givenchy in 1953 for the film Sabrina, together, they were able to create the ‘Hepburn Look,’” she says. “They had the same appreciation for art and fashion, preferring clean lines, solid colors, and interesting details. They were perfect collaborators.”

The Viral Cheese-Stuffed Sweet Potato Changed the Way I Think About Meal Prep
A two-ingredient recipe has consumed my TikTok feed — but is it any good?
I’m not much of a meal prepper. I envy my colleagues who come to the office with Tupperware in their totes, filled with a portion of the stew or dense bean salad that they made over the weekend. Meanwhile, I usually find myself spending $15 a day on some variation of fast-casual bowl slop. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t find the time or motivation to prepare a week’s worth of lunches all at once.
But one viral food trend — a simple combination of sweet potato and cheese created by budding food influencer Courtney Cook Bales (@courtneylcook) — has shown me that a pre-packed lunch doesn’t have to be difficult. In fact, it can require almost no time-consuming meal prep at all.

The 5 Best Grocery Chains for Buying Fresh Produce
Want lettuce that lasts? Head to one of these.
When shopping for fresh food, few things are more frustrating than buying a carton of strawberries or a bag of spinach only to watch your new produce wilt or become slimy within twenty-four hours. Amid rising grocery costs, home cooks are more price-conscious than ever, and throwing away food before you can eat it is a habit we can’t afford. Which means the fruits and vegetables you buy — and the way the grocery store treats them — matter.
Some retailers invest minimal care in their produce departments, while others have built their entire logistics network around getting items from farm to shelf in record time. To determine which stores truly deliver the crispest greens and the ripest fruit, we looked past the marketing slogans and dove deep into how major chains care for their produce.

Heavy Is the Crown: George R.R. Martin on His Triumphs and Torments
At the height of his reign, the ‘Game of Thrones’ author gets candid about his efforts to rule his expanding media empire, his buzzy new show ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,’ and the long-delayed saga he’s still determined to finish — if he can.
Martin told me his first concern was that HBO might never make another series based on the world of Thrones. He had “material for 100 other shows,” he said, but HBO executives weren’t yet interested in doing spinoffs. Martin didn’t want to be a one-hit wonder in Hollywood. He hoped his fantasy creation would evolve into a franchise that kept it alive for generations.
Martin’s second worry was one he’d had since 2011, when Thrones premiered and his last Ice and Fire novel, A Dance With Dragons, was published. He still needed to write two more books, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, to finish his saga, and the clock was ticking. The HBO show’s storylines were about to surpass the narrative in his books.
