SheerLuxe Team Podcast

Is filming yourself crying on Instagram an authentic confession or a social media ick? This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte is joined by Mia and Josh to debate the messy world of public break-ups and the cultural moments taking over this week. 

First up, the team get into the madness of the online queues for the British Museum’s Bayeux Tapestry exhibition, before Josh reveals the latest update on his £5 Etsy with money spell. Next, the team share the BBC dramas and documentaries they’re hooked on – and Josh also brings historical gossip to the table from Lucy Worsley’s new tour, including how Queen Victoria basically invented modern wedding culture. 

Later, the conversation turns to why season three of Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ has won them back, followed by a debate on People’s Sexiest Man Alive and that toe scene in ‘Fellow Travelers’. Finally, the team break down their winter investments – from Charlotte’s Magda Butrym faux-fur scarf to Jolie filter showerheads and LED masks – before surviving a spicy Halloween game of trick or treat.

Alexander Skarsgård’s see-through shoes, SNL monologue backlash and the ‘Big Brother’ obsession that’s taking hold – the team get into all of this and more on this week’s SheerLuxe Podcast. This week’s host Nana Acheampong is joined by Polly Newman and Xamdi Abdul to unpack the biggest pop culture moments, dive into their autumn shopping baskets and settle a few dilemmas.

First, the team reveal everything they’re loving. Polly’s found the pushchair that actually works for travel, Xamdi explains why ‘Big Brother’ has her hooked and Nana recommends Florence Pugh’s ‘East of Eden’ on Netflix. Next up? Shopping. Xamdi is on a fragrance kick and runs us through everything she’s purchasing… and repurchasing, Polly’s loving new-in Zara and Nana has a coloured leather update. They also look at two of the hottest fashion collaborations of the moment: Alexa Chung x Reformation and UGG x JW Anderson. 

Of course, they also had to discuss Alexander Skarsgård’s daring press tour looks, from those see-through shoes to a very memorable t-shirt. Plus, to wrap up, they tackle this week’s hot takes and listener dilemmas. Expect candid chat on commuter chivalry, pushing back against curated home aesthetics, the debate over long-haul flight reclining etiquette and navigating the prenup conversation without offending your partner.

Do your lips deserve their own skincare routine?

Hodge, Alex Steinherr and Jenn come together for a live SheerLuxe Podcast and conversation that moves from everything they’re loving right now to skincare, pop culture and your dilemmas.

First up, the team swaps recommendations and catches up on what’s been keeping them entertained. Then they’re joined by Rita Silva, director of scientific communications at The Ordinary, to talk about the brand’s new lip treatment and the thinking behind its formula. Alex and Jenn share their skincare non-negotiables, discuss why lip care matters and talk through their own everyday routines.

Next, the hosts tackle the questions you sent in: would you date a friend’s ex and what would you do if your flatmate was using your expensive moisturiser? Plus, we take a look at what everyone’s wearing…

How much of your life do you share online if you’ve grown up on reality TV?

Sapna and Polly are joined by Sophie Habboo, the face of Max Factor’s new Facefinity Lasting Blur Foundation, for a catch-up that runs from restaurants you need to try to the realities of motherhood.

First up, the team shares what they’re loving right now, from a vibey new restaurant to the foundation Sophie says has become her go-to. The chat then turns to TV, as they unpack ‘MobLand’, swap opinions on Pierce Brosnan’s Irish accent and hear about a behind-the-scenes set visit where Polly interviewed Vinnie Jones. Sophie also talks about filming life at home and reuniting with the ‘Made in Chelsea’ producers on ‘Raising Chelsea’.

Next, an article on household chores sparks a candid conversation about how Sophie and Jamie have divided the jobs since baby Ziggy arrived and a TikTok trend raises the big question of what we all pretend to like, from hen dos to drinks. Then comes a chat about blurring the lines, from setting boundaries when you share your life online to juggling it all.

Finally, the hosts settle the dilemmas, from whether an emoji is a rude reply to a serious voice note to the fork-holding ick that has one listener questioning a date. And of course, we take a look at what everyone’s wearing…

Kelly Clarkson’s feud with a Brooklyn concept store, Tobey Maguire officiating his ex-wife’s wedding and paying an Etsy witch for a money spell – it’s all being discussed on this week’s SheerLuxe Podcast.

Host Billie Bhatia is joined by Josh Smith and Lucia Hawley to unpack the biggest cultural moments, share their new-season shopping lists and answer a few dilemmas along the way.

We run through the culture worth leaving the house for. There are two new exhibitions to add to your list: The V&A’s ‘The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon’ and Tim Walker’s ‘Fairyland’ at the National Portrait Gallery. Then there’s the book Josh can’t stop reading, Charles Spencer’s ‘Swan Song’, which already has strangers on the tube sharing their theories. We also discuss the new legal drama, Sky’s ‘War’, which will have you hooked.

Next, the team gets into the latest celebrity news, including Kelly Clarkson’s Art of Play drama and the story of Michael Jordan’s wife flying in a different class to her friends, plus a very honest debate about whether you could ever officiate your ex’s wedding like Tobey Maguire. Josh also reports back on whether his Etsy money spell has delivered anything yet.

Of course, the three also share their autumn shopping picks and finish with a full ‘fit check, so you can see exactly what everyone’s wearing.

Would you take yourself out for dinner or to a gig with no plus-one? Frankie Foster is joined by Harvey James and Connor Minney for an episode full of fashion, culture and plenty of opinions, starting with the case for doing things solo.

Next, the group unpacks the new Jaguar Type 01 after getting a first-hand look at its unveiling and ask whether that divisive Cybertruck-style design can really save the brand. A Patek Philippe event sparks a conversation about how luxury houses look after their biggest spenders and why Birkin owners felt the bag lost its shine once content creators got hold of it. Then it’s a Paris debrief, full of recommendations for coffee, food, shows and wine.

After that comes the ‘Celebrity Traitors’ rundown – plus, everything the team is hooked on right now, from a fitness-focused hotel near Tulum to a travel steamer. Of course, there’s a dilemma to be solved too: should a higher-earning partner pay more or should everything be split 50/50?
