Going up

Zorro capes As if the fact that Antonio Banderas has enrolled at Central Saint Martins wasn’t exciting enough, he has now spoken of his desire to make capes for men happen. Brilliant.

Kelly Macdonald Specifically, wearing a red velvet blazer and sequined slip dress in the original Trainspotting, a very Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent look that the impending sequel has brought back to mind.

Monotoning See: Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy wardrobe for details.

Soft peach, white and pale blue The colour combination of the moment thanks to Agnes Martin, whose retrospective is still at Tate Modern.

Tom Hardy We’re still talking about Legend, in which he got to hide his good looks and be a serious thesp as Ronnie Kray, while reminding us of his handsomeness as Reggie. Clever. Is that the Academy calling?

Going down

Normcore The trend forecasters say it’s oh-vah. The next big thing is “chaos magic” as we yearn for “a motion back toward the emotional landscape”. Not sure what that means for hemlines, but it sounds lovely.

Facie An app that slims your cheeks, perfects your skin and makes your eyes sparkle before you post selfies. Makes us yearn for the days when applying Instagram’s Mayfair filter felt a bit cheeky.

Date night at the movies Our ultimate cinema companion is now Manolo Blahnik, who, according to Hamish Bowles, gives a running commentary on the action. Excellent.

Lewis Hamilton’s blond hair Remove immediately, please.
