Once again, your task is set before you: to sit in a fabulous LOunge sipping sinful things and potentially disgracing yourself while the world outside keeps spinning itself into a frenzy. It’s WEDNESDAY. Let’s get to work.
The 100 Most Stylish Movie Characters of All Time, Ranked
Whoever said the clothes don’t make the man probably didn’t work in the movies. The Hollywood Reporter’s artistic and fashion director selects the most nattily dressed roles in cinematic history.
For all their talk of working from the inside out, actors often say they don’t find their character until they try on their costumes. These outfits — whether outlandish or drab, minimalist or over-the-top — don’t just help define the role. They burrow into our collective psyche, the most memorable among them becoming era-defining cultural touchstones and sources of infinite inspiration for fashion editors.
In narrowing down a list of the 100 most stylish characters in cinema, there’s no getting around the question of taste. The ranked selections below are mine alone — and will surely stir debate (that’s the idea!). They include only films set in the period in which they were filmed and released. A whole other list could — and likely will soon — celebrate the incredible costuming from period pieces and futuristic flicks. (Some of my personal favorites include In the Mood for Love, Withnail and I, Poor Things, Memoirs of a Geisha, Quadrophenia, The Way We Were and Moulin Rouge!).
Some decades produced more creative celluloid than others — the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s were particularly strong, perhaps because Technicolor showed up and then style itself became so rebellious? But fashion has always acted as a great reflector of the zeitgeist, never more so than when captured for eternity on film.
From Helena Bonham Carter To Vincent Cassel, All The Confirmed New Cast Members For The White Lotus Season 4

Inside Meghan and Harry’s Falling Out With Netflix — and Why the Royal Couple Is Struggling in Hollywood
After five and a half tumultuous years at Netflix, are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the outs in the streaming kingdom?
That’s been a burning question around Hollywood, as the couple’s company, Archewell Productions, has struggled to release bingeable content. Launched in 2020, the company was originally intended to produce scripted and unscripted films and series for all ages. For the past 18 months, it has largely become a vehicle for Meghan Markle’s consumer products brand, As Ever.
Move over Louis Theroux, it’s Nicola Coughlan’s turn to take on the manosphere
The Bridgerton alumni is leading the next I Am series on Channel 4.
Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan is set to star in a new Channel 4 show exploring the manosphere through a female perspective, Deadline reports. Hallelujah! No shade to Louis Theroux’s Inside The Manosphere or Jack Thorne’s Adolescence – each show triggered an important conversation about modern masculinity – but it’s high time we got a proper look at how the manosphere impacts women and girls. And Nicola Coughlan is just the person to do it.
Coughlan is set to led the fourth series of Channel 4’s I Am…, a critically-acclaimed anthology series that explores societal issues faced by modern women. The latest instalment is called I Am Helen, with Coughlan in the titular role starring opposite Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders, Skins), Helen’s love interest, who gets sucked into the all-consuming world of the manosphere. Channel 4 has yet to confirm the plot – or indeed a release date – for I Am Helen.

The Spring 2026 Makeup Trends Set to Define the Season
Because why wait?
Spring may technically still be weeks away, but with the wind howling outside and the lights on at 2 pm while I write this, I’m more than ready to start thinking about it. If there’s one thing I love about makeup, it’s its ability to shift a mood instantly—a swipe of colour can feel like escapism, optimism, even a little rebellion against grey skies. Traditionally, spring beauty leans into the nonchalant and understated. But this season the mood is slightly different. Makeup is becoming expressive again—just in a softer, looser way. Think blurred, French-girl lips, flushed skin, ‘saucy’ cheeks and the word ‘cloud’ being used to describe almost everything. And frankly, I’ll be damned if I’m waiting until the end of March to try them. If spring still feels a long way off, consider these looks a small act of seasonal optimism.
Stuck on What to Wear? Stylish Women Keep Returning to This Blazer‑and‑Jeans Formula — and It’s a Catwalk Favourite Too
Low-effort, high impact
Due to the fluctuating temperature, spring dressing always calls for careful balance. Trying to navigate in-between seasons, frequently means we revert back to the hero pieces in our capsule wardrobe. And while there are countless styling formulas to try, there’s a reason fashionable woman everywhere continues to rely on blazers and denim as their go-to.
Timeless and modern, a blazer instantly elevates any pair of jeans while maintaining the comfort we expect from our favourite denim. Indeed, the formula is so classic and easy to recreate that it was seen in many iterations on Spring/Summer 2026 runway shows.
These Are, Undoubtedly, The Best Root Touch Ups To Help Stretch Out Your Hair Appointments
Brush, dab and spray your roots away
If you dye your hair regularly, you’ve either come to terms with your roots appearing after a while or you’d categorise root regrowth as the absolute bane of your life. If you fall into the latter camp, you need to get familiar with the best root touch-ups.
Sure—you can always dye your roots at home, but some of us aren’t that confident with DIY dye kits, and sometimes you need a quicker fix. That’s where the best root touch-ups come in. These handy formulas work to temporarily conceal your root regrowth by blending it in with the rest of your hair.
This Is What Effortlessly Cool ‘French Girl Hair’ Looks Like In 2026, From Soft Bobs To Birkin Bangs
Paris Fashion Week AW26 just redefined what we know about this famously breezy approach to hair.
French girl hair’ has long been a subject of admiration worldwide, from the tousled Bardot blonde of the ’70s to the revival of Jane Birkin’s iconic bangs. We can’t forget the French bob, either, which has been embraced by celebrities, models and beauty editors across the globe for its timeless, enduringly chic appeal.
While undone texture and choppy finishes remain staples of the French girl hair repertoire, this laissez-faire approach to cuts and styling is just as subject to subtle seasonal shifts as any other trending look. So, if you’re looking for a contemporary take on the famous hairstyle, there’s no better place to find inspiration than the capital’s most forward-facing event: Paris Fashion Week.
The New Summer Fridays Fragrance Is Giving Vanilla Ice Cream—And It’s Already Everywhere
I’m calling it now: This will be the It-girl perfume of the season.
You likely don’t need me to tell you that fragrance is an especially booming business. With the global perfume market projected to reach $87 billion by 2034 (according to a Fortune Business Insights study), it’s no wonder that we see dozens of new launches hit the shelves every month. As someone who sniffs their way through said launches, not every bottle is worth your hard-earned dollar. But the latest brand hoping to make its way onto your vanity is none other than Summer Fridays.
So, Is Nettle a Viable Natural Alternative for Hair Growth?
I asked the pros.
It’s no secret that we’re all chasing hair growth—longer, stronger, thicker strands are the name of the game. The hair growth industry is expected to nearly double by 2035, with a projected value of $15.7 billion (!!!), and a new study by the American Academy of Dermatology reports that more than 86 percent of people are reporting hair loss. The demand is there—and so are the solutions. There’s the derm-approved prescription route, with time-tested medications like minoxidil, spironolactone, and PRP treatments (where your own growth factors are injected into your scalp to stimulate growth). If that’s not for you, the over-the-counter options are endless, leveraging powerful ingredients like saw palmetto and rosemary.

John Galliano Returns to Fashion Via a Creative Partnership with Zara
John Galliano is back in the atelier: The Spanish retailer Zara has signed the design legend to a two-year creative partnership which will see him “re-author” the brand’s archives, returning Galliano to fashion after an absence of two years following the feat of bravura and viral sensation that was his final Artisanal show for Maison Margiela in 2024.
“I’ve been curating some of Zara’s recent archives,” Galliano told Vogue during Paris Fashion Week. “The idea is that I will re-author them.” The project came about via Galliano’s conversations with Marta Ortega Perez—the chair of Inditex, Zara’s parent company, and the daughter of Inditex founder Amancio Ortega. “I met Marta through MOP [the Marta Ortega Perez Foundation] and the wonderful exhibitions that she does—Steven Meisel, Irving Penn,” Galliano explained. (The MOP, established in 2022, presents photography and fashion exhibitions in A Coruña, Spain.) “Through those exhibitions, we started to strike up a friendship. I just like how open she is.”
In Praise of Having (or Being) a Slightly Mean Mom
As a former nanny who now regularly babysits in my spare time, I do my best to stay up on the parenting discourse, and one topic that surfaces time and time again is gentle parenting—its merits as well as its drawbacks. I’m not a parent myself, so my skepticism about the movement’s approach to punishment (avoiding it) should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. But personally, I can’t think of anything that’s enriched me or prepared me for the so-called “real world” more than having an ever-so-slightly mean mom.
Wine Tastes Different After the Second Sip — Here’s Why
Before you write-off a wine, take another taste. Temperature, tannins, and even saliva can distort a first impression, but a second sip reveals the real story.
If you’ve ever taken one sip of a wine and instantly decided “nope,” you’re not alone. Sometimes, our brains just love to make a snap judgment, especially when a flavor is unfamiliar, the wine is colder than expected, or the first thing you notice is a surprising zing of acid or grip of tannin.
But here’s the trick seasoned tasters use (and casual drinkers should absolutely steal): always take two sips before you decide whether you actually like a wine or not.
28 Vegetable Recipes to Make While It’s Still Cold
Perk up your plate and your palate with dishes that highlight seasonal veggies.
While the weather is still cold, vegetables remain some of the most rewarding ingredients to cook. Winter squash turns silky and sweet, brassicas crisp up in high heat, while greens and root vegetables hold up creamy gratins and shine tossed in sharp vinaigrettes. These recipes make the most of that range, offering colorful, vegetable-forward dishes that work for both quick weeknight dinners and special-occasion meals. Each one makes a strong case for making produce the center of your plate.
Do You Really Need to Rinse Canned Beans? Here’s the Truth
Sometimes you need to and sometimes it isn’t necessary.
Canned beans can quite simply save the day. Even when compared to other powerhouse pantry ingredients, few are as versatile and nutritious as the mighty bean. They are inexpensive and widely available, and many varieties of beans come canned. But do you need to rinse canned beans? It’s a question asked by many, one that has even sparked some controversy. We spoke to a canned bean expert to learn what that mysterious liquid is and if draining and rinsing the beans is necessary. And if so, when should and shouldn’t you?
Can You Clean a Coffee Maker With Baking Soda? Experts Share What Works
Baking soda is a popular cleaning staple—but is it safe for your coffee maker?
A dirty coffee maker is more than just a kitchen eyesore. Without proper attention, a carafe will take on a brown tinge, and limescale buildup will eventually reduce the machine’s efficiency, leading to bitter-tasting coffee and other malfunctions. To preserve the character of your coffee and keep your machine running smoothly, regular maintenance with a safe, effective cleaner is required.
Enter simple baking soda. You’ve likely used it a dozen or so ways to clean around your house—but can coffee makers be added to the list? We consulted cleaning and coffee experts to find out.

Our experts share what to look for when evaluating your existing cookware and what to consider when shopping for new pots and pans.
