PinBrasserie Vinatier – Bordeaux, France

And now it’s TUESDAY. Who okayed this? Who can we speak to about stopping this? Ah, well. Since we can’t stop the passage of time, best to simply start drinking, don’t you think? Let’s do it all French-like this time. Meet you in Bordeaux, darlings.

Rooster’s Danielle Deadwyler on Switching to Comedy: ‘It Feels Good to Swerve’
The new HBO series is just one of several prestigious projects on the SAG- and BAFTA-nominated actress’ slate. None of them look like the work she’s known for. That’s on purpose.
Articles about Danielle Deadwyler tend to talk about her eyes; specifically her fascinating ability as an actor to train them at her subject or the camera and let the audience know that she’s giving the business without saying a single word. Ebony magazine even made a list of their favorite times the actress read people with her gaze.
This is partly because Deadwyler is mostly known for her dramatic work, portraying grieving-mother-turned-civil-rights-heroine Mamie Till-Mobley in the movie Till or a journalist with her own family trauma in the HBO miniseries Watchmen. It also may be because those who meet her in person claim that her powerful eyes help draw you into her web. (How fitting that she also played the titular spider in a stage production of Charlotte’s Web.)

Ayo Edebiri Is Her Own Canvas
Ayo Edebiri is puttering around her apartment, finishing up her morning skincare routine before the day ahead. She’s currently in rehearsals for the Broadway revival of Proof, the 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning play that will open for previews in a matter of days.
“We’re blowing everything up,” Edebiri says cheerily over Zoom. The people’s princess, who floated into stardom on the hit show The Bear in 2022, has since become a reigning screen star and a generational style icon as Chanel brand ambassador. Now, Edebiri is on her phone, carrying me around with her as she makes a cup of coffee, then cozily settles down. At this stage of the rehearsal process, she says, the precious time they have left is spent dissecting each element of the performance. “I’m mixing metaphors like crazy, but now that we have all the paint on our palette, what are the brushes that we want to paint with?” Edebiri asks. “How do we want to color it?”

Meet The White Lotus season 4’s star-studded cast
Another madcap murder mystery is coming our way.
The White Lotus is finally coming back for a fourth season — and this time, we’re gearing up for a glamorous, chic week of madness in France. Production is set to begin next month and, rumour has it, the Château de La Messardière in Saint-Tropez is serving as the main location.
After much online speculation, we finally have some official details about who will star in the upcoming French edition of The White Lotus. And the list is looking très très bien.
Many of the main cast were previously announced — it’s an impressive list that includes the likes of Helena Bonham Carter, Vincent Cassel, Steve Coogan, Max Greenfield and AJ Mikalka.

Alice and Steve, an exclusive first look at Disney+’s shocking new comedy
Cue nervous laughter.
If Nicola Walker has no fans, it’s because I’ve shuffled off this mortal coil. Luckily, she’s got plenty of fans – and her new series, Alice and Steve, is bound to delight them all. While Walker is best known for starring in hard-hitting dramas like Spooks, Unforgotten, and The Split, her new Disney+ series shows off her comedic side.
Fair warning, it’s not all laughs. The premise of the show is about two best mates, Alice (Nicola Walker) and Steve (Jemaine Clement), whose friendship breaks down in a big way. Why? Because Steve starts dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter, Izzy. In fairness, I’d be raging too.

51 fringe hairstyles that cool girls take to the salon
Wispy, chunky or sideswept?
Fringes are one of those haircut trends that never stay gone for long – and right now fringe hairstyles are having a moment in more shapes and finishes than we’ve seen in a long time. Alongside the soft, face-framing curtain styles that have been front and centre (quite literally) over the last few seasons, shorter styles – like micro fringes and baby bangs – are starting to gain traction again, offering an edgier alternative for anybody ready to make a statement.
Part of the appeal is how many versions of the fringe there are now. Whether you’re looking for a style that blends seamlessly into existing layers, or you want a shape that completely transforms the feel of your current cut, there really is a fringe style to suit almost every face shape and hair colour, texture and length.

It’s the Jane Austen Adaptation Everyone’s Talking about—How to Watch the Other Bennet Sister
Move over Lizzy, Mary Bennet is having her main character moment
If, like us, you’ve been swept up in the latest wave of Jane Austen TV adaptations, then The Other Bennet Sister deserves a spot at the very top of your watchlist. The first five episodes are streaming now (free in the UK) but fans abroad needn’t miss out. Below, we’ll show you how to The Other Bennet Sister online from anywhere. A fresh reimagining of Pride and Prejudice, the series shifts focus to Mary Bennet – the often-overlooked middle sister – giving her romantic arc the spotlight it always deserved. And yes, it’s just as cosy, witty and heartbreaking as you’d hope.
In short: if you’re a huge fan of Bridgerton, or you couldn’t get enough of Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, then you’ll want to binge The Other Bennet Sister right away. Here’s how…

47 festival nail ideas putting the fun back into manicures
If you want to go all out, now’s the time to do it.
If you ask us, festivals are an open invitation to go wild, from the makeup you wear to the clothes you pack. Your festival nail inspo is another big consideration, whether you decide to match your tips to your outfit or put your individual stamp on the season’s biggest nail trends.
Despite the barely-there nail trends that are still going strong in everyday life, maximalism is still leading the way when it comes to festival manicures. That said, the coolest festival nails aren’t just about piling on bright colour and as much glitter as possible. Instead, smaller details – like chrome finishes, blurred shimmer layers, 3D decals and mix-and-match accents are making it easier than ever to create something playful that still feels wearable across a full weekend of different outfits.

The denim bomber jacket is every cool girl’s spring staple
It’s the perfect piece of outerwear for a season that’s all about facing the unexpected.
Every spring, my search for the perfect denim jacket starts from scratch. Just like it happens with jeans, shirts and other wardrobe staples, a style that felt oh, so right last season might not hit the same spot anymore. And just to be clear – this doesn’t mean I quickly forget those seasonal hits. Instead, they’re demoted to second or third place while the hunt for a new favourite begins again.
But what does the perfect denim jacket look like spring 2026? No, it’s not a biker, a trench or a chore jacket, though I do love them all. This year, we’re living in the era of the denim bomber jacket. Cue: the fashion icon that is Rihanna…

Lily Collins on Life as Emily, French Pharmacy Staples and Finding Confidence
The Emily in Paris star talks motherhood, her go-to outfit formula and her favourite part of playing Emily.
Lily Collins needs little introduction. From her early roles in Love, Rosie and Mirror Mirror to her West End run in Barcelona, she’s been a fixture on our screens for years. Along the way, her own personal style has become a point of fascination, from red carpet moments to her cool‑girl looks that stand apart from her on‑screen wardrobe.
Considering that her role in Emily in Paris has fuelled a renewed cultural obsession with both the city and the actress herself, when I meet Lily it’s hard not to be curious about her personal connection to Paris. We catch up at a Maison Perrier event where she is announcing her new ambassador role, which feels as though it’s been lifted straight from the show. We discussed everything from her favourite on‑set moments and bloopers, to her go‑to French pharmacy staples, as well as motherhood, confidence, and her ultimate outfit formula. Plus, what actually inspired her iconic (and now signature) bob.

The ‘Lazy’ Haircut That Sculpts Your Face Without Makeup
Enter the contour bob
The bob has been circling back into favour for a while now, but this season it’s had a subtle, grown-up upgrade. The contoured bob, as seen on Gigi Hadid and Grace Abrams, is less rigid than its classic predecessors and far more tailored; this is the cut fashion insiders are gravitating towards. Think soft shape, expensive movement and just enough structure to frame and flatter the natural contours of the face. If you’ve been flirting with the idea of going shorter, but want something that still feels effortless, this might be your cue.

Why Kelly Rutherford Co-Created A ‘Healing’ Rose Perfume
The actor has joined forces with perfumer Veronique Gabai. ‘Fragrance is the final gesture. It’s invisible, but it defines everything,’ she tells ELLE UK.
Minimalism is more than a style direction for Kelly Rutherford. Whether she’s co-signing crisp white shirts and soft tailoring during fashion month or opting for her signature low-slung bun and a rosy, Parisian-inspired make-up palette, her aesthetic and philosophy have always been considered.
It was this same intentionality that guided her latest venture: a new collaboration with esteemed perfumer Veronique Gabai. ‘Fragrance is the final gesture. It’s invisible, but it defines everything. It’s so personal and reminds you of the important moments in your life the way music or certain songs do,” she tells ELLE UK.

‘Wuthering Heights’ Hits Streaming: Where to Watch Emerald Fennell’s Film Adaptation at Home
Following a well-timed Valentine’s Eve theatrical release, the Margot Robbie- and Jacob Elordi-led movie now makes its streaming debut.
Emerald Fennell’s steamy and modern rendition of Emily Brontë’s pivotal Victorian novel hits streaming on Tuesday, March 31, at 12 a.m. ET (Monday, March 30, at 9 p.m. PT). Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, Wuthering Heights‘ initial at-home release comes via premium video-on-demand (PVOD), available to purchase digitally on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

Why every generation wants their own Romeo & Juliet
Leading Shakespearian scholar Sir Johnathan Bate explains why the hyper-romantic tragedy of desire and defiance continues to captivate
There is something deliciously perverse about Romeo and Juliet. Here is a play written by a man in his early thirties, already married with three children, about two teenagers who meet at a party, fall madly in love, consummate their relationship within 24 hours, and are dead after just four days and nights of manic action involving street fighting, a ball, a quickie marriage and a sleeping potion. It is, by a stretch, Shakespeare’s most impulsive play. In other words, it is youth itself distilled into dramatic form. No wonder every generation of young people claims it as their own.

Lisa Kudrow Tells Lily Tomlin How She Outlasted the Industry
Best known for conquering television on Friends, Lisa Kudrow has spent the past two decades playing one of Hollywood’s sharpest jokes: Valerie Cherish, the gloriously delusional star of The Comeback. Co-written with Michael Patrick King of Sex and the City fame, the show has become a 20-year trilogy about the indignities of TV production. In its third and final season, Valerie takes on the rise of the machines by starring in an AI-written sitcom—a cheeky twist for a multi-camera series legend. As Kudrow tells her former Web Therapy co-star Lily Tomlin, it’s the perfect ending, until her next comeback.

Cloudy Glasses? Here’s How to Tell If They’re Ruined (and What to Do Next)
Not all cloudy glassware can be fixed—here’s how to tell what’s causing the haze and whether you can restore the sparkle.
You pour a crisp white wine or sparkling water, only to notice a hazy film on the glass dulling its shine. It’s a small detail, but one that can make even the most put-together kitchen or dining room feel slightly less polished. And while cloudy glassware is often caused by mineral buildup that can be removed, that’s not always the case—sometimes, the damage is permanent.
Fortunately, with the right approach, you can figure out what’s behind the haze—and whether your glassware can be restored to its original clarity.

7 Genius Tricks for Decluttering Small Spaces, According to Pros
Small spaces call for creative organization.
Small spaces mean fewer surfaces to sweep, mop, and wipe, but they sure have a way of accumulating clutter. Daily life often has nowhere to hide when square footage is limited, so everyday items like mail, packages, and laundry pile up at impressive speeds.
The fix is effective storage solutions you actually use, some aggressive editing, and little tricks that keep you motivated.

This 68-mile Highway Is Called the ‘Most Beautiful Roadway in America’—and It’s a Scenic Way to Access Yellowstone National Park
And it crosses two states.
If you ever get the chance to road trip through the American West, take it. It’s a region filled with small towns, dynamic landscapes, and spectacular drives, the kind best experienced when you’re behind the wheel of your own vehicle. There are numerous scenic byways in this part of the country, but only two have been named an All-American Road—a road or highway that the U.S. Secretary of Transportation considers a “destination unto itself”—and just one of them winds through both Montana and Wyoming.
