Carey Mulligan on Going Ballistic in ‘Beef’
After years of prestige restraint, the Oscar nominee finally lets loose in Netflix’s second installment of ’Beef,’ unleashing a dark and “naughty” new side: “I was delighted that she punches someone in the face.”
When Carey Mulligan was preparing for her role in Beef, she had some feedback about the insults. The second season of the Netflix anthology series, which creator Lee Sung Jin describes as part Sopranos, part Ingmar Bergman, traffics in a dirty, delicious fight between Oscar Isaac’s country club manager Josh and his wife, Lindsay, played by Mulligan. But Mulligan was worried that some of the obscenities felt too American. “I wrote Sonny [Lee] a list of really awful British swear words — just all the shit things that we say to each other,” she says. “I was like, ‘I should definitely call someone a cunt.’ ”
Carey Mulligan’s character in Beef is a c*nt. I want to be her
Lindsay is my personal hero.
Warning: spoilers for Beef season 2 ahead!
C*nty Carey Mulligan was not what I had anticipated for 2026, but here we are. A far cry from her normcore acting gigs of the past, Mulligan’s character in the latest season of Beef is completely electrifying and anything but safe. At one point, I laughed so hard at her performance a trickle of tea came out my nostril (yes, really).
‘Trans people will always be here’: One year on from the Supreme Court ruling
On this day in 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that the definition of a ‘woman’ is based on biological sex. Here, one writer reflects on the moment everything changed – and why the fight for her community is far from over.
As is so often the case with breaking news, many of us will remember exactly where we were on the morning of the 16th of April 2025. Some moments possess the power to punctuate an entirely new stage of our lives, and the announcement of the Supreme Court’s ruling – which stated that “the legal definition of a woman is based on their biological sex assigned at birth” – was certainly one of those for me.

How to get rid of dark circles and eye bags, according to skin experts
Erase them or embrace them.
There’s nothing quite as annoying as waking up to find deep, dark, puffy rings framing your eyes. To be clear, large, Saturn-like rings and puffiness around the eyes are not unusual; some of us are just more prone to dark circles and eye bags than others.
Of course, there are a number of lifestyle factors — stress, lack of sleep and increased screen time — that can make them worse. It’s no wonder that so many of us are battling bruised-looking eyes and fluid retention. So what can be done?
This Wash Removes 96% of Pesticides From Fruit, Study Finds
Made from biodegradable materials, the treatment could cost just a few cents per piece of fruit, making it a scalable option for commercial use, the researchers say.
It’s a long-held truth that washing your produce before you use it is important. After all, who wants to munch on dirt-covered carrots or add sandy lettuce to a sandwich? While giving your fruits and veggies a good dunk can certainly rid them of dirt and bugs still clinging on for dear life, it can’t remove pesticides. Well, until now.
‘Grey blending’ is trending as the chicest hair technique for silver strands
Everything you need to know.
For a long time, grey hair was seen as an inherent sign of ageing for women. But ‘grey blending’ – and even going fully natural – has become an aspirational trend as more women are embracing their silver streaks rather than covering them.
Pinterest, for example, has seen an 879% surge in searches for ‘going grey’. Those that don’t have it, want it, and many that do have salt and pepper strands, are more than happy for their natural grey hair to shine through. There’s even an Instagram account, Grombre, dedicated to the “radical celebration of the natural phenomenon of grey hair,” which boasts over 230K followers (and counting), and hundreds of posts of women of all different ages and ethnicities sharing photos of their hair in all its natural icy glory.

But now, their predictions have become even more literal, with dewdrop-inspired nail designs that carry an extra sprinkle of springtime magic.
Sorry, Madonna’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, we’re too busy optimising to appreciate you
Hobbymaxxing is in the way.
When Confessions on a Dance Floor was released in 2005, Madonna needed a win. Her previous record, American Life (2003), had been her worst-selling at the time, with critics taking aim at its confused sound, introspective lyrics, and unintentionally comic visuals. To be clear, it still sold millions, but by Madonna’s standards, it fell short of her usual dominance.
With a disco-inspired cover, a suggestive pose, and tumbling red hair, Confessions on a Dance Floor signalled a clear reset. Even the sticker on the case made a promise: “NON-STOP ALL-DANCE TOUR-DE-FORCE.” Message received.
The Importance of Not Being Emily
Dear reader, it is a rarity in the modern world to find oneself slap-bang in the middle of a case of mistaken identity worthy of an Oscar Wilde farce, but find myself misidentified I do. I’m in a tight spot: Millions of TikTok followers have put two and two together—by which I mean one viral TikTok video, one novel, and one movie—and concluded that yours truly is the real inspiration for one of the snootiest fashion girls ever created: Emily, the hoity-toity English assistant to Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
A silent victim, I have suffered this slur quietly. I feared that speaking out—despite many brave women in the Vogue sisterhood urging me to—would only invite further cruel scrutiny from the bullying tweens of TikTok. But there was a moment, which took place in a London cinema just a few weeks ago, that made me realize I must come forward.
10 signs that you’re not getting enough protein
It’s not just for building muscle.
Tired? Check. Brain fog? Check. Low energy? Also check. Is it burnout or are you simply low on protein?
Adverts for protein powder are everywhere right now. For the uninitiated, many feature a ripped guy flexing his Stanley cup like a dumbbell — which, you know, can be a little off-putting. But don’t be turned off just yet, because getting enough protein isn’t just for those wanting to build muscle with weights.
Bridal Headpieces Were Unveiled as the Breakout Trend From New York Bridal Fashion Week
While it’s fairly normal to see a bride wearing a long tulle veil on her big day, it’s not so common to see one donning bridal headpieces like a little pillbox hat, a giant feather plume, or a bejeweled cap. But this next season of to-be-weds just might go against the grain.
At the New York Bridal Fashion Week spring 2027 presentations, avant-garde takes on bridal headwear were in full force, with plenty of bold designs that could cap off a wedding ensemble with an extra special flair. Says fashion-girl favorite milliner Gigi Burris, “There’s no accessory more transformative than a headpiece. They evoke an emotional reaction like none other.”
7 blouse trends that instantly upgrade your summer 2026 wardrobe
From the classic button-down to the avant garde.
Few garments have the power to transform a look quite like the blouse. A strong collar, a structured sleeve, an impeccable drape — a good blouse can make or break your look.
These are tops that make a quiet statement and look sophisticated and chic without looking (gasp) dowdy or (even worse) too fussy. A good blouse in 2026 is all about looking to the past with clear intention, taking the very best from a vintage lookbook and giving them a contemporary, full-of-personality twist. Think: sheer fabrics, a statement shoulder, a trend-led pattern. Pair with your favourite jeans, and you’ve got a winning outfit formula for summer 2026.
How to Style Black and Brown Like All the Best-Dressed Women in Summer 2026
The controversial color combo is no longer considered a fashion faux pas, according to street style experts.
You’ve probably heard combining black and brown is against the rules, perhaps from your mother, grandmother, or another trusted source throughout your life. This is usually coupled with traditional warnings against pairing black and navy or pink and red, as well as outdated fashion declarations that your shoes and bag should match or sequins are only for eveningwear, and that old Coco Chanel saying about taking off one accessory before leaving the house.
In other words, it’s a well-established part of a style rulebook passed down through generations. However, the passage of time, trends, and the most stylish women of our current era have shown us that it’s just a myth.
Christine Baranski to Make West End Debut Opposite Richard E. Grant in ‘Hay Fever’
“I attended my first West End play as a student at Juilliard in 1971, so it’s rather a dream come true,” said the two-time Tony winner.
U.S. actress Christine Baranski will make her West End debut alongside Richard E. Grant in a new production of Noël Coward’s Hay Fever.
The family comedy, directed by Emily Burns, also marks Saltburn star Grant’s return to the West End stage after 20 years. It’ll run at the Wyndham Theatre from September to December this year, with two-time Tony winner Baranski playing Judith Bliss and Grant as David Bliss.“Last year, Judith retired from her life on stage. Already, she misses the applause,” reads a plot synopsis. “Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family — reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to-launch children Sorrel and Simon — are too self-involved to be a good audience. So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlor games, put-downs, and unrequested encores.”
One Decision by Queen Elizabeth ‘Will Go Down as a Mistake’ That Outlasted Her, Biographer Says
Ahead of the centennial of her birth, Queen Elizabeth’s legacy looms large — from a lifetime of duty to the decisions still being debated today
The late Queen Elizabeth was a steady, reassuring presence in the lives of millions, her reign spanning a record 70 of her 96 years.
Widely seen as the woman who defined the modern monarchy, she held her family together through some of its most turbulent chapters — from the immediate aftermath of Princess Diana’s sudden death to the breakdown of her children’s marriages, most notably that of her son and heir King Charles, as well as the fraught and highly public exit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle,.
But in her final years, one decision tied to the man often described as her favorite son — the disgraced former Prince Andrew — continues to cast a long shadow.
