4 d. ago ‘It’s silent but does the heavy lifting’: the soft power of the white shirt

The white shirt speaks of formality without trying too hard and is making a comeback on the catwalk and on screenVictoria Beckham has positioned herself as a pop star, mother, perfumier, TikToker and fashion designer. But whatever job next month’s Netflix documentary focuses on – details are scant, but it’s thought the early October series will end at her Paris catwalk show – she will always be scrutinised over how she looks. How to temper that? Wear a plain white shirt.The documentary poster released this week shows Beckham wearing a diamond tennis bracelet, open-collar white shirt – and nothing else.

4 d. ago ‘Addiction teaches you a lot’: breakout pop star Lola Young on sex, substances and self

The south Londoner’s honesty about her vices has made her a gen Z hero: she was in rehab when her biggest hit was blowing up. Singing about sex on her new album, she says, is a way to mask the painLast November, Lola Young was finally having her moment. Messy, a track from her second album, This Wasn’t Meant for You Anyway, was blowing up on TikTok. Celebrities such as Kylie Jenner were using the track in their clips, and it had quickly permeated the barrier to the real world, becoming a staple of Uber rides and Christmas shopping trips in a matter of days. Even if you wouldn’t recognise Young if she passed you on the street, you’d know the song and its ironclad hook: “Cause I’m too messy! And then I’m too fucking clean ”Other stars might have taken a moment to enjoy the spoils, or strategise on how best to capitalise on the newfound success. But as Messy was rising in the charts, Young was checking into a rehab facility to deal with a cocaine addiction that had dogged her for “a lo...

(Gingerbread Man/Atlantic)Despite embracing Indian and Persian sounds, Sheeran’s eighth album goes back to basics after two records of muted melancholy – albeit with some surprising undercurrentsAs he points out on the opening track of Play, Ed Sheeran has now been around a long time. It’s 20 years since he self-released his debut album and 14 since he signed to a major label and set about becoming the most commercially successful British artist of his age: long enough that we’re now seeing the appearance of pop stars who claim him as a formative influence. (Singer-songwriter Myles Smith, who was just into his teens when Sheeran released his breakthrough album +, even plays one of those little acoustic guitars that have long been Sheeran’s trademark.) It’s certainly long enough that anyone with even a passing interest knows what to expect when Ed Sheeran releases a new album.Sheeran’s success is based on a certain dependability: it doesn’t seem to matter who he works with – Pharrell...
