Is 2026 the new 2016? On this week’s LuxeGen Group Chat, Saroop, Poppy and Nikkita are reminiscing about the era of Tumblr outfits, chokers and coming-of-age film soundtracks – and asking whether the chaotic charm of 2016 is officially back. They also get into their most-anticipated film releases of the year – including Hamnet, The Housemaid, Eternity and the rumoured Devil Wears Prada 2 – plus the digital postbox drama (yes, really), and that mysterious “Jenner-Chalamet” nameplate that’s sent the internet into a spiral. The panel also unpacks this year’s Golden Globes red carpet moments, reads out their January horoscopes, and shares what’s trending on their hot list – from the Zara blazer they’re all eyeing up to G.H. Bass cow-print loafers, Triangl bikinis and obsession-worthy bakes from Reemie’s & Violet Bakery…

Welcome back to Best-ies – the LuxeGen series where we get to know our favourite artists and creators by asking them for their ultimate ‘bests’. From their best beauty secrets to their best career tips, nothing gets you to best-friend level faster. This time, we’re joined by the one and only Olivia Dean — the new ambassador for Burberry Her — for a rapid-fire deep dive into everything from the best lyric she’s ever written (the line that still hits every time) to the best song to cry to, her go-to post-show meal and the guilty-pleasure TV that got her through tour. We also talk festival ‘fits, the most surreal on-stage moment (hello, Pyramid Stage), her favourite collab memory and the morning rituals that keep her grounded. Plus, she reveals her best karaoke song (yes, she hogs the mic), the sweetest DM she’s ever received and the heartbreak advice you’ll want to screenshot…

This week, we’re easing into full festive mode as Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a cosy, chaotic catch‑up. They start with the big stories of the week – from Angry Ginge winning ‘I’m A Celeb’ and what made him such an unexpected fan favourite, to Australia’s controversial decision to ban social media for under‑16s (and whether it’s actually giving kids their childhoods back). Elsewhere, Netflix's potential acquisition of Warner Bros – the group discusses what that could mean for the future of film. Finally, they wrap up with Things We’re Loving, including how Charlotte Simone is taking over London, the underrated jewellery brands they’re loving, niche accessories on their radars, cosy investment pieces, the Abercrombie Christmas PJs to know and the small luxuries making December feel a little more special…

This week on the LuxeGen podcast, we're joined by actress, dancer and content creator Nikkita, who’s fresh from walking the British Fashion Awards red carpet in a look that landed her on the best-dressed list. The girls chat fashion week-worthy outfits, what it’s really like backstage at the Royal Albert Hall and why Maura Higgins never misses. Plus, Nikita spills on her new Channel 4 legal drama, learning how to voice act for animation and the unexpected rituals actors swear by to get into character. Elsewhere, they debate the ‘Home Alone’ sequel rumours, Billie Eilish’s upcoming 3D film with James Cameron and whether Ariana Grande has officially entered her Oscar era. There’s nostalgia galore (Toys “R” Us is BACK), theatre and film recs for the festive season and the ticketing scandal that has Olivia Dean – and the LGs – fired up…
