PinVICO Brasserie – Lucerne, Switzerland

It’s THURSDAY! Let’s be swanky about it! Settle in fabulously for a long day of frivolous distractions.

Lily Collins’s Audrey Hepburn Movie: Everything We Know
The project has apparently been in development for over 10 years.
There are few actors as iconic as Audrey Hepburn—a star from classics like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday, and My Fair Lady. Now Lily Collins will play Audrey Hepburn in a film about making Tiffany’s.
The Emily in Paris star does bear a striking resemblance to the Oscar winner! Not to mention, Hepburn was one of the most stylish women of all time, so all eyes will be on the costume department.
Lily Collins will star and produce
“It’s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I’m finally able to share this. Honored and ecstatic don’t begin to express how I feel…” the actor wrote on Instagram to announce the project.

‘Bridgerton’s’ Yerin Ha Reveals How She Plans To Handle Fame With Nicola Coughlan’s Help
The Australian actor also talks working with Luke Thompson, how she grounds herself in nature and quietly manifesting her own ‘Benedict moment’.
wo weeks after her Bridgerton audition, Yerin Ha found out she’d won the lead role. ‘It was one of the quickest turnarounds I’ve ever had,’ the Australian actor recalls. In the Regency romp’s hotly anticipated fourth instalment, Ha plays Sophie Baek, a maid with a mysterious past who falls for Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson. ‘He really is the best human,’ says Ha, whose Korean heritage inspired her character’s surname, which has been changed from Julia Quinn’s books.
Having grown up and trained in Sydney, Ha gained recognition for her role as Kwan Ha in the live-action Halo series. Bridgerton will launch her into a new realm, one with a famously fervent fanbase. ‘I’m just putting that in a little box, locking it away and trying not to think about it,’ the 27-year-old says. ‘Nicola [Coughlan] has always said, “Reach out if you need help or advice with anything.” She’s navigated it in such a graceful way.’ If it all gets a little too overwhelming, Ha will seek solace in the natural world, whether it’s going for a hike or a swim in the sea. ‘Nature always makes me feel quite small in a positive way,’ she says.

The Bridgerton season 4 post-credits scene hints at next season’s couple
A detail even Lady Whistledown might have missed.
Well, that’s that. Bridgerton season 4 is officially over. Against all odds, Benedict and Sophie got their happily ever after. And we got a string cover of Charli XCX’s “360.” Everyone wins! Except, perhaps, poor Francesca, who lost her husband John to (checks notes) a bad headache.
You may have missed it, but there was actually an extra post-credits scene at the end of this season of Bridgerton. And trust us when we say, you don’t want to miss it. Not only does it offer a very cute button on the end of Benedict and Sophie’s story, it also contains a few subtle hints about what is coming next. And, honestly, we are already in Bridgerton withdrawal, so we’ll take any hints we can get!

Do you wake up at the same time every night? Here’s why
Don’t worry, it’s possible to break this unrelenting cycle for more restful sleep.
It’s annoying to randomly wake up from sleep in the wee hours. Noticing that it always happens around the same time might especially give you pause. But sleep experts say it’s more common than you may think to wake up at the same time every night due to some basic biology and behaviours. Keep reading for the main reasons you seem to be yanked from sleep whenever the clock strikes, say, 3 a.m., and what to do if you’re left tossing and turning.

What Stellan Skarsgård Really Thinks About: Fashion Shows, Press Tours, His Sentimental Value Co-Stars
“It’s a film that gets all people,” Skarsgård tells VF about Sentimental Value, in which he stars alongside Elle Fanning and Renate Reinsve.
Is Stellan Skarsgård the OG Skarsgård fashion icon?
Despite his long and prolific career, Skarsgård has not partnered as much with the fashion industry as most actors do these days. That celebrities are now luxury brand ambassadors and sit front row at fashion shows, after all, is a development of a generation that succeeds him, but that doesn’t mean that Skarsgård is counting himself out.
As he does the awards season rounds for Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, for which he won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor and is nominated for an Oscar for the same category, he found himself in London this past weekend to spend a few days outfitted by Burberry ahead of its London Fashion Week show and, of course, the 2026 BAFTA Awards. Sentimental Value was nominated for eight awards and won for Best Film Not in the English Language, making history as the first Norwegian film to win a BAFTA Film Award.

The Lady: The shocking true story behind ITV’s Sarah Ferguson drama
Royalty, fashion, murder and a prison escape.
This article references suicide.
Of all the true crime dramas landing on our screens, it’s the ones rooted in real events that truly grip us — and The Lady is exactly that: a fictionalised retelling of a shocking real-life murder.
The first two episodes aired this week, starring Natalie Dormer as Sarah Ferguson and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Jane Andrews. Andrews, a working-class woman, rose to become Fergie’s royal dresser — before later standing trial for the murder of her boyfriend, Thomas Cressman.
Royalty, scandal, lust, fashion and murder — honestly, what more could you want from a TV show?

ITV’s The Lady is the gripping true crime drama everyone’s talking about
The Lady tells the fictionalised true story of Jane Andrews and Sarah Ferguson.
A true crime drama involving the royal family, murder, and BAFTA winner Mia McKenna-Bruce — could it get any better? Actually, yes. The Lady also stars Game of Thrones icon Natalie Dormer.
Allow us to introduce The Lady: a gripping new true crime drama set to have you hooked from the very first episode.
From the producers of The Crown, this crime drama fictionalises the real-life story of Jane Andrews, a children’s clothing designer who climbed the social ranks to become a royal dresser to Sarah Ferguson, then the Duchess of York.
From the chilling true story to the all-star cast and release date, here’s everything you need to know about The Lady.

A Tour of Tracee Ellis Ross’s Effortlessly Cool Office in West Hollywood
The Blackish star is officially in her beauty-mogul era with her natural hair care brand, Pattern Beauty. But her corporate life is anything but drab.
To borrow a phrase from the classic millennial film Mean Girls, Tracee Ellis Ross isn’t like a regular boss. She’s a cool boss.
So when designing the West Hollywood offices for Pattern Beauty, her natural hair care brand, she wasn’t just going to throw a bunch of drab cubicles under fluorescent lighting and call it a workday. (She’s an actor too, after all. And actors know lighting means everything.)
“That fluorescent buzz?” she says, making a disapproving face, as we stroll around the offices, bathed in a warm glow thanks to the natural Los Angeles sunlight and Louis Poulsen pendants, originally designed in 1958. She wanted a place with a vibe! A place that you could work in—and might actually want to work in.

A Signature Scent is So Last Year—Smelling Impossible to Pin Down is the Ultimate Luxury
An ode to fragrance layering
The concept of a signature scent is dead. I’m aware that what I’m about to say might sound ludicrous, and overly niche—but I’ve made my peace with it. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I wore a single fragrance on its own. To the purist, this might sound like heresy. To me, it’s the only way to make sense of a world that tries to categorise us.
Let me explain. I love fragrance in a way that has moved from interest into habit. I’ve written about fragrance for over 15 years. I couldn’t begin to calculate the number of scents I’ve smelled, but I currently have 65 bottles that I wear regularly. I know that’s a lot. I also know that my proximity to fragrance launches and the industry has somewhat skewed my sense of normality. But, I’m equally sure of this: I’d still spend an unreasonable amount of my own money on scent—even without access. I always have.

These Are the Hair Trends That Dominated Fashion Week AW26
A whole host of stunning looks

The ‘Gripping’ True Story Behind Royal Dresser Jane Andrews And The Details Missed In ITV’s The Lady
Viewers are enthralled by ITV’s new show The Lady, but what are the real-life facts about Jane Andrews and the subsequent murder of her boyfriend Thomas Cressman?
The release of ITV’s four-part drama The Lady has rocked a few boats. Not just in its fictionalised depiction of events based on the life of royal dresser Jane Andrews and the murder of her boyfriend Thomas Cressman. But it is also airing in the wake of the evolving Epstein scandal that relates to this particular branch of the royal family: Jane Andrews served as a personal dresser to Sarah Ferguson, the then-Duchess of York and wife of former Prince Andrew, for nine years, from 1988 to 1997.
The drama, produced by the company behind The Crown, has also left viewers wondering how much of the events shown are real and what has been made up for creative purposes. At the beginning of The Lady, we read how, ‘This drama has been inspired by a true story.’ The opening credits continue to describe how ‘Some names have been changed and some characters, events and scenes have been created and merged for dramatic purposes’.

Bold, Colorful Gemstones Are Trending for Spring—Here’s Where to Get the Look
For years, quiet luxury was the hottest way to get dressed—but spring’s colorful gemstones trend proves that times are changing. While there’ll always be a place in our jewelry capsules for simple studs and tennis bracelets, there’s more color than ever on the market.
Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Valentino, and Simone Rocha all turned their backs on traditional diamonds on their spring-summer 2026 runways, showing a rainbow of crystals and stones instead. Brilliant Earth’s spring lineup, which is stacked with candy-colored gems in a dizzying array of shades, is perhaps the best place to buy in.

How to Use a French Hair Pin, According to a Pro Hairstylist
A French twist is the chicest way to throw your hair up on the fly, but if you don’t know how to use a French hair pin the right way, the style can feel more frustrating than effortless. Love the look, but can’t get your pin to hold? You’re not alone. But with a little practice, you’ll start reaching for a French pin over your trusty claw clip for an everyday updo.

The OG American Girl Dolls Got ‘Modern’ Makeovers. Did They Need Them?
Mattel says the “modern-era” versions of the beloved American Girls are “meant to celebrate the original historical characters in a different form.” Millennials say they’ve gone too far, making them thinner and more grown-up seeming.
People can be very protective when it comes to their childhood nostalgia. So when Mattel gave six of the original historical American Girl dolls “modern-era” makeovers for a new line of dolls, the general millennial uproar wasn’t entirely unpredictable. But is there something to the backlash? Some think that the new dolls look as if they’re wearing makeup and are too skinny. That they appear too grown up for the fictional nine-year-olds they represent.
To celebrate American Girl’s 40th anniversary, the brand released a line of 14-inch dolls that reimagine Felicity, Addy, Molly, Kirsten, Samantha, and Josefina as modern girls.

The ’90s Celebrities Who Made Denim Iconic
During the 1990s, actors, pop stars, supermodels, and tabloid fixtures wore jeans the same way they lived: a little messy, largely unbothered, and without regard for propriety.
During the ’90s, celebrity denim wasn’t a trend—it was a reflex. Actors, pop stars, supermodels, and tabloid fixtures wore jeans the same way they lived: a little messy, largely unbothered, and adverse to overthinking. Today’s fixation on Love Story-era minimalism and the enduring mythmaking of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy only underscores the idea that a great pair of jeans can do as much personal-style work as anything else.
They were just as casual back then, but in the ’90s, jeans were fair game everywhere—not just airports, nightclubs, and pap walks, but literal red carpets and starry premieres—worn straight and belted, baggy, low-slung, high-waisted, or in full double denim with zero irony. ’90s celebrity denim defined an era of instinctive style and genuine confidence, setting a standard we’re still trying (and mostly failing) to recreate. Keep reading for the ultimate guide to denim inspiration.

21 Tried-and-True Chowder Recipes, From Clam to Corn to Chicken
Try each region’s specialty, from Manhattan and New England to Southwestern or Peruvian.
Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about a chowder that feels unintuitive. A hot…chunky…milk soup? Yet it is a dish I return to again and again: a perfectly creamy salmon stew overlooking the Baltic Sea on a long summer evening in Helsinki; my millionth bowl of never-not-scrumptious seafood chowder with requisite hunk of brown bread on my drives up and down the west coast of Ireland; the corn chowder made with peak season farmers market sweet corn in my own kitchen. There are few dishes as nourishing, as satisfying, as full-belly delicious. Here is a selection of our favorite chowder recipes, from Peru to New England and Manhattan to Ecuador.

Antony Armstrong-Jones: the playboy photographer who won Princess Margaret’s heart – before their marriage crumbled amid rumours of infidelity
On this day in 1960, Buckingham Palace announced the engagement of Princess Margaret to Antony Armstrong-Jones
Antony Armstrong-Jones, 1st Earl of Snowdon, was the society photographer who won the heart of a Princess. Charming, rebellious and talented, ‘Tony’, as he was known to friends, was one of a number of well-heeled suitors who pursued Princess Margaret – the glamorous, exuberant younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II.
At the time of their wedding in 1960, the media made much of the social gulf between Tony’s commoner status and Princess Margaret’s royal pedigree. Yet Armstrong-Jones was no stranger to the upper echelons of British high society.
Born in March 1930, Antony Armstrong-Jones was the second child and only son of Ronald Armstrong-Jones and his first wife, Anne Messel (later Countess of Rosse). Anne was the granddaughter of the cartoonist Edward Linley Sambourne (to whom Tony’s descendants’ title, Viscount Linley, owes its name). Anne’s brother was the feted stage designer Oliver Messel.

Chloé Zhao and Bradley Cooper Go Super Deep on Hamnet
Chloé Zhao spent her early career as a director on the American back roads, casting rodeo riders and nomads in films that felt more like documentaries than fiction. The Rider made people pay attention. Nomadland won her an Oscar. Then she did Eternals for Marvel, a lesson in big-budget storytelling that she took with her. Now she’s back with Hamnet, based on the Maggie O’Farrell bestseller about William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley) grieving the death of their son, and how that loss inspired Hamlet. It’s her most personal film yet (it’s got 8 Oscar noms, including a Best Director nod for Zhao), all Jungian symbolism and dirt under fingernails. Steven Spielberg, who produced the movie, says she’s the only director who could’ve pulled it off. Bradley Cooper, who interviewed her the day after she won a Golden Globe, agrees.
