Imagine borrowing a dress for one night and finding yourself on the front of every newspaper the next morning. This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte Collins is joined by Alex Steinherr and Elizabeth Hurley for a conversation that covers iconic looks, fame and a cause close to Elizabeth’s heart. First, Elizabeth explains why digging her old couture out of the attic has brought her so much joy. That leads to the Versace safety pin dress, which went straight back the next day and has since made it into the Met and the V&A. She also looks back on what it was like to go viral before social media existed. Then, Charlotte reports back from three nights on the Belmond Royal Scotsman, a sleeper train through the Scottish Highlands that turned out to be far more of a party than she expected. Alex also makes her case for Elizabeth joining ‘Celebrity Traitors’ – but will she be tempted? Elizabeth is also the global ambassador for the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign, so the team discuss the new focus on breast cancer in young women, why checking your breasts matters and that mammograms aren’t painful. Of course, there’s plenty of beauty talk too, including a skincare tip Elizabeth picked up from screen legend Joan Collins.

Sheherazade also shows us her treasured dressing room, including the vintage and designer pieces she has collected over the years – expect plenty of Prada, Chanel, Marni and Dior. She talks about her love of fashion, the memories attached to her clothes and how her personal style has influenced the design of her home.

What happens when a glamorous end-of-summer social turns into a murder mystery? We’re going behind the scenes with the BLUSH Talent MGMT team for an evening of cocktails, canapés, getting ready and plenty of unexpected twists. The team kicked things off with pre-party blow-dries at Duck and Dry before heading to the stunning The Whiteley in West London. Then came the surprise: an interactive murder mystery, complete with secret roles, suspicious characters and more than one dramatic reveal. Some of the team even had no idea they were playing the killer until it was time to find out. It’s all about getting the roster together, breaking the ice and giving everyone a chance to properly get to know each other outside of work. And, naturally, the evening ends with a very unexpected game of sardines. Would you have guessed who the killer was?
