AD | Podcast includes paid promotion with Sky Kelly Clarkson’s feud with a Brooklyn concept store, Tobey Maguire officiating his ex-wife’s wedding and paying an Etsy witch for a money spell – it’s all being discussed on this week’s SheerLuxe Podcast. Host Billie Bhatia is joined by Josh Smith and Lucia Hawley to unpack the biggest cultural moments, share their new-season shopping lists and answer a few dilemmas along the way. We run through the culture worth leaving the house for. There are two new exhibitions to add to your list: The V&A’s ‘The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon’ and Tim Walker’s ‘Fairyland’ at the National Portrait Gallery. Then there’s the book Josh can’t stop reading, Charles Spencer’s ‘Swan Song’, which already has strangers on the tube sharing their theories. We also discuss the new legal drama, Sky’s ‘War’, which will have you hooked. Next, the team gets into the latest celebrity news, including Kelly Clarkson’s Art of Play drama and the story of Michael Jordan’s wife flying in a different class to her friends, plus a very honest debate about whether you could ever officiate your ex’s wedding like Tobey Maguire. Josh also reports back on whether his Etsy money spell has delivered anything yet. Of course, the three also share their autumn shopping picks and finish with a full ‘fit check, so you can see exactly what everyone’s wearing.

Would you take yourself out for dinner or to a gig with no plus-one? Frankie Foster is joined by Harvey James and Connor Minney for an episode full of fashion, culture and plenty of opinions, starting with the case for doing things solo. Next, the group unpacks the new Jaguar Type 01 after getting a first-hand look at its unveiling and ask whether that divisive Cybertruck-style design can really save the brand. A Patek Philippe event sparks a conversation about how luxury houses look after their biggest spenders and why Birkin owners felt the bag lost its shine once content creators got hold of it. Then it’s a Paris debrief, full of recommendations for coffee, food, shows and wine. After that comes the ‘Celebrity Traitors’ rundown – plus, everything the team is hooked on right now, from a fitness-focused hotel near Tulum to a travel steamer. Of course, there’s a dilemma to be solved too: should a higher-earning partner pay more or should everything be split 50/50?
