The Cool Collab:

Peggy Gou For Beauty Of Joseon

If you’ve been on K-beauty TikTok, you already know Beauty of Joseon’s Day Dew Sunscreen is the latest SPF the girlies are obsessing over – and now, Korean DJ and producer Peggy Gou has been named the brand’s global ambassador. Starring in its horse girl-inspired shoot for its ‘Not Our First Rodeo’ campaign, Peggy’s images tap into her signature dark-feminine aesthetic and the product’s glowy, skin-first finish.

The New Pop Era:

Sabrina Carpenter: Man’s Best Friend

Sabrina Carpenter is riding a major wave – and her next album, Man’s Best Friend, promises to keep the momentum going. Following the mega-success of Short N’ Sweet, which spent five weeks at number one in the UK, Sabrina returns with ‘Manchild’, a sharp, synth-heavy single full of wit, edge and perfect pop production. She's already gone viral for bringing out Earth, Wind & Fire at Lollapalooza, and the Man’s Best Friend visuals – controversial artwork and all – are only adding to the buzz.

The Pre-Fall Drop:

Damson Madder 'The Waiting Room'

Damson Madder’s pre-fall collection, The Waiting Room, sees the brand move away from the playful, colour-splashed vibe of high summer, and into something softer, moodier and quietly elevated. Expect earthy tones, preppy stripes, deep burgundy prints and a new popcorn-smocking technique that adds texture to otherwise classic shapes. There’s a standout wide-leg culotte, an oversized olive trench and co-ords that double up as layering pieces.

The Foodie Launch:

Ace Pizza

ACE Pizza has officially opened its first standalone restaurant. Known for its hybrid style – think the chew of Neapolitan dough and the structure of a New York slice – ACE Pizza has already earned a cult following at The Pembury Tavern. Now, founder Rachel Jones has channelled nostalgia and comfort into every detail of the new site – from the 80s diner interiors to topping combos like chilli honey, Texas ‘beef’ and vodka penne. Add in natural wines, disco margs and a tiramisu made with Dark Arts Coffee, and this might be your new favourite spot.

The Campaign Crush:

Tom Holland For Prada Beauty

It’s official – Tom Holland is the new face of Prada Beauty and the campaign is full of laidback charisma. Shot in a mix of behind-the-scenes candids and relaxed portraits, the visuals tap into Tom’s off-screen charm – spontaneous, understated but quietly cool. It’s all about showcasing beauty through a lens of self-expression rather than performance. There are puppies. There are side glances. There’s a very Prada sense of ease. Expect to see this campaign all over your feed.

The Scandi Girl Essential:

CAIA x ROTATE

CAIA and ROTATE have teamed up to launch an exclusive drop at Copenhagen Fashion Week. The four-piece capsule includes a creamy lip gloss, two lip liners shade-matched via “nipple theory” (yes, really), a clean amber fragrance and a structured satin beauty case that doubles up as a clutch. It’s the kind of high-low, barely-there-but-put-together look the Scandis do best. Chic, confident, wearable – and definitely cool enough for your next night out.

The Celebrity Drop:

Drake ‘Summer Mink’

Drake has officially launched ‘Summer Mink’, his first UK fragrance under Better World Fragrance House. Made in partnership with Givaudan perfumer Michael Carby, it’s a unisex eau de parfum that blends creamy musk with spice, florals and a warm ambery base. Packaged in a midnight blue orb and displayed on a sculptural stand, it’s equal parts scent and interior flex.

The Football Fan Fit:

Crocs x Lirian Santos

Crocs has achieved cult status in recent years – and its latest campaign proves it’s more than just quirky footwear. Teaming up with English-Brazilian freestyle footballer Lirian Santos, the brand is celebrating the growing female football fandom in a campaign that’s full of personality. Set at a backyard BBQ, Santos hosts a laidback watch party in her Crocs Classic Clogs, complete with custom Jibbitz and cultural flair. It’s a love letter to community, football and self-expression – timely, given England’s recent win at the Euros.

The Accessory Upgrade:

Mother Belts

If you love Mother’s vintage-feel denim, you’ll want to check out its debut belt collection, which takes the charm trend to the next level. Designed to pair perfectly with its jeans, these handcrafted styles feature oversized buckles, thick leather, hand-stitching and retro hardware – the kind of details that make an outfit feel intentional. They’re available now at Selfridges and online.

The New Formula:

Urban Decay All Nighter Spray

You’d be hard pressed to find a beauty fan who hasn’t used Urban Decay’s original All Nighter setting spray. But now, it’s been reformulated to last up to 24 hours (beating the previous 16), with a finer mist and a refreshing cooling effect. Best of all? There are now two new finish options: glowy and matte. Whether you’re heading to work or a summer festival, it’s still the ultimate insurance policy for your make-up.
