Why it's high time everyone stepped away from the Labubu dolls... What's hot (and not) this week

Going up!

The Devil Wears Prada 2.0

(20th Century Studios)

Finally confirmed by Disney to be coming in 2026, it follows Miranda grappling with the decline of print journalism. Not a subject matter I’m familiar with, but keen to learn more.

So into his style transformation: thigh-high leather YSL boots, Bianca Saunders glitter trews and SS Daley micro shorts alike. Also into that Pedro Pascal kiss in Cannes.

Nothing earbuds

(Nothing)

Chunky Apple headphones are passé, now. Wireless is back and the tech gurus at Nothing have the savviest pair that “feel like wearing nothing”.

SunSeekr

An app that helps you find pubs and cafés that are currently in the sunshine. Now isn’t that a darling tool.

Going down…

Harry Potter cast announcement

(HBO)

Was that picture of HBO’s new Harry, Ron and Hermione squatting in a field taken by the Princess of Wales? Very royal birthday in Norfolk energy.

BuzzBallz

(BuzzBallz)

Wretch. I had one of these the other day to see what the fuss was about and could hardly walk to the Tube. Tasting notes: plastic.

Plane domestics

Emmanuel Macron pushed in face by wife Brigitte (Supplied)

We all laughed as Brigitte Macron was filmed smacking her husband on arrival in Vietnam, but fact: public — not to mention physical — domestics are the antithesis of chic.

Labubus

(Labubu Mexico)

Enjoyed these as much as the next trend lover, however now saloon-style brawls are breaking out at Pop Marts across town I think everyone ought to have a little sit down.
