SheerLuxe Podcast

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.

Sapna is joined by Polly and Lucia for a travel special in partnership with the British Airways American Express® Premium Plus Card, covering everything from long-haul holiday planning and airport style to in-flight routines and bucket-list destinations.

They also share their airport outfit formulas, long-haul beauty essentials and the travel behaviours they simply can’t get on board with. Elsewhere, they reveal their best tips for beating jet lag, thoughts on solo travel and some serious destination inspiration, from Thailand and South Africa to Santorini, New York and beyond. Plus, they share some of their most memorable trips and discuss how collecting Avios through everyday spending can help towards planning the next one.

Can your partner make a new friend of the opposite sex on a night out or is exchanging numbers already crossing a line? The SLMan Podcast is back with a new format, as the team gets into the conversations, dilemmas and recommendations currently taking over the group chat. First up, they debate why small talk gets such a bad reputation and whether “So, what do you do?” is officially the worst way to start a conversation. Then it’s onto relationships, trust and the surprisingly divisive question of whether your partner should be making new friends on a night out. Elsewhere, expect plenty of menswear chat, from building a signature style and ignoring micro-trends to vintage military jackets and the collaborations worth knowing. Plus, the team shares the fragrances they’re wearing on rotation before finishing with some unfiltered hot takes on invisible socks, matcha and situationships. Oh, and they settle one important question: how much clothing is actually necessary when answering the door to room service?
