When I reflect on the music that influenced me growing up, it’s amazing I’m not currently wrapped around the legs of a man begging him to love me. My Walkman was the equivalent of a dysfunctional friend or bad boyfriend; a catalogue of drippy pop songs packed with terrible advice suggesting my happiness would only be found in the arms of a man (“I should be so lucky”). I can only guess it was the Spice Girls that saved me. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the power that music has over us – just think about how many days are dominated by ear worms rolling around in your head (yesterday, with no obvious reason, the audition song from La La Land would not let me go. Only a full volume…

stylist advertorial With stunning performances from Paul Mescal and newcomer Frankie Corio, Aftersun delivers pure sunshine… First things first. Aftersun is an ode to parents just trying to do their best. So, if you are a) already a parent, or b) grew up with a father like Calum – recently divorced and navigating the world of single fatherhood while dealing with his own personal demons – then strap in, because this astonishing film packs a hefty emotional punch. One that lingers, like the smell of suntan lotion and long summers past. Directed by Charlotte Wells, Aftersun tells the story of Calum (Paul Mescal, brilliant as always), his daughter Sophie (Frankie Corio) and their low-key 90s package holiday to Turkey in the wake of Calum’s separation from Sophie’s mum. Complete with…

grand designs Stylist sits down with Longchamp’s creative director Sophie Delafontaine to discuss her life in fashion, wardrobe essentials and why she loves breakfast in London words: naomi may You know a Longchamp bag when you see one. The storied French label’s Le Pliage bags – foldable, lightweight totes that are topped with a thin slither of brown leather – have been a go-to over the years for Kate Moss, Meghan Markle, Kendall Jenner et al and are still as ubiquitous today as they were in 1971, when they first launched. And the brand’s star shows no signs of waning, with its offering now spanning ready-to-wear as well as its feted accessories. After a short closure, its New Bond Street store is reopening, having been redesigned in collaboration with designer…

self esteem For Rebecca Lucy Taylor, Self Esteem is both a stage name and a raison d’être. Meet the popstar giving a generation of women the confidence to be themselves words: holly bullockphotography: ROSALINE SHAHNAVAZ The decision to put Rebecca Lucy Taylor, otherwise known as Self Esteem, on our November cover was simple. Taylor’s breakthrough second record, Prioritise Pleasure, was named The Guardian’s album of last year, saw her enthral a packed-out John Peel stage at Glastonbury this summer and, most recently, brought her a Mercury Music Prize nomination. But it isn’t just her on-paper success that makes Taylor a worthy Stylist cover star, it’s how she makes us feel. It’s the way she can reduce crowds of women to tears with lyrics charting the struggles of her (and, as…

decisions, decisions The average Brit spends 18 hours and 53 minutes deciding what colour to paint a room; Stylist’s Meena Alexander took a year and a half. Here, she seeks a cure to her chronic indecision “Calamine or Cinder Rose? A more neutral pink will go with everything, but then the brighter one is more cheerful. No, neutral is better, I don’t want it to be too much. Although this is my bedroom, I should probably choose a colour that sparks joy, right? What do you think?” The shop assistant’s patient smile is starting to stiffen. “It’s up to you!” she says, through gritted teeth. These words make my blood run cold, because I’ve lost count of how many trips I’ve made to Farrow & Ball, resolved to finally choose…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Beth, 27, is a forward for Arsenal and England and was the top scorer at Euro 2022 this summer. She lives in St Albans with her girlfriend and fellow Arsenal player, Vivianne Miedema, and their dog, Rona I wake up as late as I can. Usually, that means jumping out of bed at 8.30am and getting ready to head to the Arsenal training ground as quickly as possible. I’ve streamlined my routine so it doesn’t take long, but a black coffee is my one non-negotiable. I live five minutes away from the club, so I’ll walk to work and be there by 9am. Growing up, I was an overthinker. I started playing football for a boys’ team when I was…

From advent calendars to tubs of foil-wrapped treats, the festive season celebrates the nation’s sweet tooth with a host of products to enjoy.

adhd in women A spike in women seeking a diagnosis for ADHD has been linked to people swapping notes online, but what does it mean to have your whole life reframed by a TikTok video? It’s a question straight out of a sci-fi film: does my phone know me better than I do? In a world of well-oiled algorithms and eerie targeted ads, it doesn’t feel that far from the truth – especially not for the skyrocketing number of women who first recognised their neurodiversity thanks to an app. TikTok is home to a growing community of people seeking answers about why and how their brains work differently. The hashtag #ADHDWomen has 2.2 billion views, with videos like ‘Five signs you might have ADHD’ being liked and shared every second.…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS What will the author and broadcaster make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To be happy. And to find what being happy is – hopefully one day. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? I don’t think there’s much difference because sometimes the wrong thing can be right. And vice versa. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? What I’m learning is that it’s in me. Outside influences can help you feel a certain way, but actually it all comes down to you. NATURE OR NURTURE? I think we’re all born as we are, but nurture plays a massive part in how you become who you are. The people around us show us who we are, then you start…
