Has ‘Euphoria’ Lost Its Magic?, Brooklyn Beckham Breaks The Internet & Harry Styles’ New Album | The LuxeGen Group Chat

0:00On this week's episode of the Luxe Young Group Chat, we debrief on the latest trailer for the new Euphoria season.

0:05SheerLuxe Team:Sometimes they wake up at night thinking about what Rue's done, like what's she gonna do with that suitcase. Do you think she's gonna survive? Whether Love Island has really had its run and we're a bit over it. The first three seasons, fame wasn't promised. The three after that, defo everyone went on it. And now I think people are trying, but like people just don't want to give it to them. And whether we're now replacing Slickbacks and Minimalism for big bulky maximalism. 2025, clean girl year. 2026, the girl of chaos. So make sure that you tune in because this one is a goodie. You do not want to miss it.

0:36Right, regular listeners all know, us LGs are obsessed with Jelly Cat. We have them everywhere. Everywhere. Honestly, we have them as bag charms. We have them as our little support buddies on our desks. And one thing that Jelly Cat do so well is their Valentine's Day collection. Oh my gosh. So we have picked out a few of our favorites and we've actually got one for each other and we've accidentally gone twins. We've gone so similar. I love this one. So for Saroop, I picked out this little pink macaron with the little red feet. I've gone for the red one for you because I think we are very similar people.

1:04We like to give each other things with personality. And that is the best bit about these little characters. They have so much personality in them. And the best bit is you can keep them for life. You're so right. The gift lasts forever. Flowers, unfortunately, they're going to die. Chocolates, I'm going to inhale them. These, I'm going to keep this little guy forever. And we've also got our little honorary member, Egbert, over here. With sparkly toes. So if you want to check out the full Valentine's Day collection, just head to the link in our show notes or head to jellycat.com right let's get into the episode welcome back to the luxgen group chat guys today i am joined by anna and lola hello ladies hello hello both looking very stylish let's talk about what we're wearing anna i am wearing it's kind of going quite summer the skirt is unreal isn't it so nice i've heard since last summer but i just thought i was feeling a little bit of brown today um this is my skirt's from next actually.

1:54It's got like a ruched, what do you call this? Yeah, nice. A little ruched waistband. I feel like this adds a bit of a drop. Shirt. They call it shirt. Blazer is ASOS. I think it's the collusion brand on ASOS. Top is just cost. I feel like they do the best. They do. They're so good.

This is a very cool tie. I'm wearing a Adidas end clothing collab. Oh, okay. Top. And then this morning I was going to wear it with brown jeans.

I wear these at pretty much every pod, I think. We love them. It's the Calvin Klein barrel egg jeans. I get the most compliments from these, so everybody should have them. Some leopard socks. I was going to say, are we going to start a little series on Lola's crazy socks? On my socks. If you don't know, this one thing about me is I love a funky sock. Love it. They are very cool. That was one of my ins for this year. It was like fun socks. A funky sock. Do you know what?

3:14Add a bit of spice, guys. Do you know what I mean? That's what this shit is. We'll get into it, but it's all about the big princess shit.

3:20SheerLuxe Team:And a bit of personality. god forbid you have a funky sock god forbid um would you ever go a mismatch sock yeah i used to i used to only wear odd socks as a child i love that ever and like my family would buy me like specific packs of socks growing up that were like one sock basically yeah that's gonna be your new thing and you need to come into the office yeah i do that sometimes it's an inside out job but that's not on purpose that's just me going that's the same job doesn't it um and then these suzanne shoes boat shoes that i always wear because they are perfect and they're so comfortable and they look cute they're so nice blue blue what are you wearing through i have got on a blazer from top shop which is oversized but i took out two of my pads from a bikini top and i use them just to give me a bit of a shoulder very 2026 of you guys what can i say so yeah i got a bit of diy going on and then got a very cool t-shirt from too young for sushi yeah and it's just got called pomegranates on then I've got some nice kind of vintage jeans from SNE denim I love these I'm like living in a bit of retro at the minute and then loafers from Topshop and a nice grey sock love I like a grey sock I like a grey sock too oh well I did wear them yesterday as well listen oh stunky my bad it's gotta be done I treat my I treat my like colourful socks as though they're like going out top I'm like preserve them I've got them in draw you know you should really be wearing my socks today that say it ain't Easy being cheesy.

4:48SheerLuxe Team:Salon. Cheesy feet over here. Keep those loafers on, girl. Lo is like, I got a pair for that. I've got a pair for every occasion. Well, anyway, everybody is looking very nice today. So shall we move on to the hot list?

5:09Everybody's TikTok, Instagram, everything feed, the Beckons. Yeah, the group chats are going off right now. Honestly. Brooklyn Beckham's gone wild. Oh my God. So Lola, you want to break it down for anybody that doesn't know?

5:20SheerLuxe Team:He basically posted like a five part series on his stories where he was like, literally debriefing the group chat being like, listen, I'm never gonna talk to my parents again. Yeah. He dropped serious tea though. He dropped serious lore about their wedding. So him and Nicola Peltz's wedding, Brooklyn basically said that they had been planning this romantic dance for weeks and it was the time for their song and who is he looking directly at down the dance floor? His mother. I was like, what is going on? Do you know what Hodge said to me this morning? She was like, isn't it just every mum after a bottle of wine?

5:56SheerLuxe Team:I mean, so far. That's what I mean. Part of some of it I'm a bit like, I can try and believe as much as I can, but like inappropriate dancing. Probably just a mum being a bit overboard. You know, they've renewed their wedding vows since their wedding because of how like, and this is how much upset it caused. I saw something this morning which was a tiktok that was posted in 2022 basically an inside source at the wedding had basically told this story before Brooklyn has confirmed it this is the thing like it's your wedding like that much control over your wedding I would go yeah like it's your day I suppose like if it's your in-laws you still even if you don't like them you want to be like oh they're gonna be like my family I want to still keep that good impression it's really But also vice versa, they should look at you the same way.

6:43Like if you're gonna treat them that way and give them the time, they should also do the same for you. But I think it's also like that conversation of like entitlement, like fame, money, all this sort of stuff also plays into a big factor too.

6:54SheerLuxe Team:I do slightly think like if you really wanted to keep it that private and your life private, don't go on Instagram for four million people. But then he has it, this is his first time in like five years he's like come out and like said something. But Insta story is a wild way of - Do you want to be that private? Or is he that, like, I don't know, annoyed by the whole thing that he's like, I just need to get my word out and never speak on it again and never talk to me again. Yeah, I'm sure there was, like, a breaking point. But I would like to say, how many celebrities do you know that have said, this is the last time I speak on it?

7:23Yeah, so true. And you come back, honey, you come back every time. And there we go, like a podcast has been created or something. But my favourite thing was the way that TikTok was popping off.

7:32SheerLuxe Team:Yeah. Everyone was like... The AI videos of Victoria Beckham dancing. Hilarious. Oh, so good. No, they've not. Can you imagine he was like the next guest on like Color Daddy and like what his entrance would be, how they would play it. Screw Color Daddy, come on the Luxe Gen podcast. Yeah, please. Sorry, we have a seat for you. Start spilling the tea. Speaking of people that have said that they never want to speak about the topic again is India cheating on Dami. She posted on her story being like, I made a mistake. I'm not, I take. Don't just say. Guys, doing it in Duck and Waffle. Yeah, that's wild.

8:06SheerLuxe Team:You're not exactly hidden. If you're going to duck and waffle, you're going to get spotted. 100%. Do you not think that her and Dami obviously must have said privately already like we're not a thing? I thought they had already broken up and then her kissing, is it Marlon? Marlon. Marlon? Marlon? Marlon. I don't know. Them kissing, I thought that was after they had broken up, but it was. No, but you wouldn't post on your story like I made a mistake, I take full responsibility. I think that's just a bit of like a hush hush to keep everybody like. But wouldn't you want to say like with all that hate you're getting, like we broke up don't worry yeah no because i think she's probably just like i want to end the speculation but has he posted anything nothing really i don't think so i haven't seen anything i thought they were the real ones yeah they were like one of the one couples that came out of love island i was like this is it 100 % marlon marlon whatever he's a really really big streamer so not gonna lie if you're going to duck and waffle with the biggest everyday streamer i'd be a bit like yeah that's why i'm saying it must be like a bit of a you you've got to know there was a little bit of spice that you were wanting to throw on it there surely yeah but i just think like now i don't know if you guys are watching it i've not watched love island properly in a hot second and i think it might be the demise of i actually watched the first episodes of all stars of all yeah what love island are you talking about as in like yeah as an entity yeah i don't I watched Love Island and I actually watched the last season with Shakira.

9:36SheerLuxe Team:And I feel like a lot of people like that. I feel like that one did really well. Yeah, I feel like a lot of people are saying, all stars, Love Island has died. This is probably the worst cast lineup. Right. That's what everyone's saying. My girl is not even cold yet. Well, so is Tommy. He's back. I saw a TikTok yesterday of this girl. I saw this. Posting about Tommy. And Tommy had obviously told her, I'm going to Thailand for three months. and then he pops up on her screen and she's going like this and she's like literally like, what would you do if somebody you were talking to said like, oh, I'm going on holiday.

10:10SheerLuxe Team:Like my connection might be bad. Nevermind. Every night on your telly. I feel like this is like a common thing that people from like, will see, will be watching Love Island and then they'll be posting like, oh, this guy told me he's away to Australia and now all of a sudden he's on Love Island. This is not the first time I've seen him. It's kind of like traitors. Like you're kind of lying. Like, do you feel okay going to bed lying that well? I think the thing, well, A, obviously they're given NDAs, so they have to lie. If you are going on traitors, you also have to lie. You can't tell people. But for me, I think it's like back in the day, I could kind of understand it because you would come out of it like a celebrity, like Olivia Atwood.

10:44Like it is kind of, you know, celebrity status. Now, you're not. Some of them are going back to their day jobs because Love Island is not paying what it used to. I also think if you are going back on Love Island All Stars, now this isn't for all, but for many, I think it's because you have dropped off and you feel like you need like a research. I think it's even worse if you were only just on the Love Island season just gone. And you're already back.

11:07SheerLuxe Team:Who's that guy that always goes on all stars? Casey. Is he going to turn up again? He is in South Africa right now. Oh no. So at this point it's like that school kid who waits by the school gates. He got expelled and they're like let me in. But have you also seen it's actually quite sad. So Jack Fincher. Yeah I saw this. The boy who was with Danny Dyer. so he obviously was really open about how he went to rehab he did a lot of partying whatever and he said that when he came out of love island he called it the love island millions he had loads of money kind of like what we're saying he went to celebrity status whereas now he's saying he can't afford to go to rehab from the production side there's got to be people telling them that you know you're gonna make it big if you come on it yeah you know they're being told lies definitely i also think in the early seasons like the first three seasons fame wasn't promised the three after that, defo everyone went on it.

11:58SheerLuxe Team:And now I think people are trying, but people just don't want to give it to them. There's so many people that they're actually like, I don't know if you can make... You don't need it. You don't need that many Love Islanders. People can't really remember every... You're all in Manchester Sexy Fish every other day. Or Duck and Waffle. Amen. Guys, we need a little bit of nonchalance. Right. Guys, the other thing that I am obsessed with euphoria new trailer dropped did you guys both watch it yeah i did i'm such a fan i cannot wait to watch it oh my god but guys it's quite dark now it looks quite dark and so different as well a lot of people are saying that whereas like all like the glitter and like the creasiness and like this is deathly hallows part two it's gone dark and all of the magic is gone this is like guys rue's about to get shot up because my girls were taking money sometimes they wake up at night thinking about what rue's done with like what she's gonna do with that suitcase do you think she's gonna survive yeah yeah do you yeah i'm a bit scared but do you reckon this will be is this the last season i think it will unless i think the only thing they might do if hbo wants to make money is like a spin-off i think they're all like they've clearly got much bigger roles i've not seen all the cast like talking about euphoria though and it's like they don't want to make it like their main thing that's going on they kind of want to like subpar it kind of keep put under and not into it anymore not embarrassed but like but you grew out of it that's the thing they have grown out of it same as like Stranger Things these people have grown up on it and they don't want to be just known for that Zendaya's Jacob Elordi Saltbird Sydney Sweeney they've all done so you know what I think you can kind of tell that in the trailer you know in the original Euphoria it was so focused on like these individual characters and this trailer felt like it was just Rue's story yeah I agree which is fine which is kind of Yeah, a little bit.

13:49SheerLuxe Team:Also, people are saying a lot of Sydney Sweeney's Cassie role has been like, obviously she got corrupted in the season two and she went a bit nuts over Jacob Elordi. Just a girl. Don't blame her. A girl's good eyes. Do you know what I mean? But Cassie was such a cute character before and now she's doing OnlyFans. But I do also think that it is quite an accurate depiction of what happens in high school. True. Do you think one thing that they've got spot on, as much as people might think, is far-fetched? Yeah. Because high school is wild. Do you know what they have a gutspot on? The amount of good looking people there are in this high school.

14:24SheerLuxe Team:Agreed. Jacob Elordi did not exist in my school. No, literally. I saw a lot of like uproar about how Cassie and Nate were together. And like people didn't like that. And then I think it was actually Tana Mojo's video of all things. And she was basically like, yeah, no, like that this is not surprising. Like, of course that was going to be the case. Like they're in the most toxic relationship ever. Just like a lot of high school relationships. So this is not surprising. and I feel like people wanted like a different ending for those two. But we still don't know what's going to happen because I think there will be something where like he's apparently getting married which is one big thing.

14:56It looks like a very grand and luxe wedding as well. But I do think Maddie's gonna we're gonna have something go on there and she's gonna come like doors but and that's why I think in the trailer there was less about her because I think they're like Rue's kind of storyline we know that she's like hardcore druggy you know like we've known this for a while now so i feel like it's just what happens next whereas with maddie hers is like still a bit

15:18SheerLuxe Team:of a mystery so i feel like there's the space to go with that i don't know i feel like it's kind of lost it's like magic i do agree that's a great magic is a good word because i feel like everyone talking about the whole like lack of glitter and like yeah yeah the whimsicalness of it all i feel like there's a real lacking of that in the trailer but then like you say we've obviously not seen it yet we don't actually know but or is this like um let me get my like english literature hat on but Or is this like a really great depiction of them like going from that whimsical like high school to now they're like growing up and everything's a bit more raw in real life.

15:50Pre-university, they're kind of like experience. These are the consequences, I suppose, of their younger youth. Yeah, true. And it's like kind of come to bite. And now everything's a bit more like harsher and like, oh, this is actually like reality now.

15:59SheerLuxe Team:Guys, does anyone remember the vape girl from season two? And she was just in the background. She was at every main scene. She had a big chunky vape and she'd just be like. And all the memes were like, this is the most. I'm the most accurate high schooler in this entire thing. So far. The most unproblematic. She just goes, shit. No, I am honestly so gassed for that. Yeah. Also, speaking of new things, Harry Styles' new album is coming out. Are you guys Harry Styles fans? Okay. Like technically, no, like it's like, do you know how I knew there was a new album coming out? The NHS. Oh, I thought the cervical marketing is incredible.

16:39Oh my God. So obviously they want women to get their cervical screening. done like because that's very important so please go and do that but they basically put um there was like so it was a meme like in one direction the first one was harry styles within one direction and it was like if you remember this harry and now you're looking forward to this harry and it's the new album it might be time for you to get your cervical screening test which is so true because over the years yeah it's genius it's so clever i was like and they were quick on that

17:06SheerLuxe Team:Quick on that. Yeah, so good. But yeah, Harry Styles came up with a new album. I'm so excited. I'm a big Harry Styles fan. I just didn't understand. Was this man ever not on tour? This Harry's house thing went on for so long. I know. How did he have time to make an album? I don't know. But it's a bit different though. Yeah, what's the vibe? Because obviously Harry's house is super like feathery. Yeah. Well, I saw there were like disco mentioned in like the name of the album. Is it going to be a bit more disco theme? I don't know the proper. He's good at a summer banger. So I feel like we might get like another 100 % don't get me wrong I love his music yeah I love his music when I was eight I got a life-size carpool cutout of Harry Styles yeah I was in one direction yeah okay oh pretty sure eight to ten 23 12 you're 23 yeah oh my god that old no I just thought you were like my age I'm only 25 so far off I just didn't realize you were only 23 anyway sorry yeah so I was like really young and harry styles was my first love used to kiss it when i went to bed i was i was a zane girly i was like yeah brown betty i was like zane i was like tell him again but is it gonna be like another theme thing i feel like the harry fans will make it some sort of theme thing which is surely because you know it's actually the fans that make it don't they like they kind of name it and so also there's rumor that dua lipa might feature on the album which is so exciting because like he's never had someone else on his on his british like power i know kind of color wait he's He's never had anyone on his album.

18:32Because he's always had that creative control, artist control. It's kind of selfish. I was going to say, it's a little selfish though. But now I'm thinking of Doors music and then Harry's music, how that's going to marry together. I think Harry is good summer. I think Harry is good summer. I think it would be a good 2016 summer coming. Yeah, no, I'm excited nonetheless. Yeah, me too. And I hope there's another tour.

18:50SheerLuxe Team:Hey, I would go. It looks fun. Yes. What is the album actually called? It's called, I think it's Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally. I like it. Around springtime. So it's coming out of the woodwork. It's like a good time for a little 2016 summer. I personally disco all the time. Kiss occasionally. That'd be the best way to live. Yeah, unreal. Guys, I didn't know this, but I'm just going over what we kind of discussed earlier. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutchison coming back for another Hunger Games. Yeah. What? It was said in an interview. And they were like, so will you be back in the new Hunger Games?

19:22And she was like... I'm like, were you the interviewer? It was me. I felt like I was there. Whoa. Yeah, crazy.

19:28SheerLuxe Team:Stop it. Wait, she like nodded or said yeah. I think she said yes. Although, are we sure this is legit? Because I've been fooled by so much Jennifer Lawrence AI. She is a bit of a fool. She always gets AI'd. Oh, AI all the time. It's like the you've been Chris. You've been Lawrence'd. Oh, God. I have definitely seen it circulating all over my For You page. So I feel like he wouldn't lie to us. She would lie to us. I would just like to say the age that we were when Hunger Games was coming about, the incredible content that Hunger Games was. Katniss and Peter? Yeah, Peter. Oh my God, that was the original rom-com fantasy.

20:07That is also a movie

20:08SheerLuxe Team:I could keep watching again and again and again. But do you not think that was like the original trio because she didn't know between the two dudes? Liam Hemsworth or... Yeah, tough gig to be fair. Do you know what I mean? I always wanted her to pick him. What was his name in it? Liam Hemsworth. Yeah, but what was his name in it? Oh, no idea. Gale. Gale, yeah. Shut up. It's called Gale. I don't blame him I'll get no laughing at it Scream Personally would have picked Gale No battle But the new one Is it like a continuation? Is it part of the series? Guys I'm not going to lie I actually am a Hunger Games fan I just saw It's just been all I can see I know It's like the OG real like heartthrob kind of trio before.

21:00I just don't like fantasy like things like that. Honestly though, but I think the science like based on it, remember it was all based on like government corruption. It's not that far-fetched like in terms of the only far-fetched thing was obviously them doing the Hunger Games and I suppose the sci-fi element of how they travel and how they live. Maybe I'll give it a try.

21:18SheerLuxe Team:Have you guys heard that Slickbacks are out for 2036? This one really hurts me. It really hurts me. It does help me, but also I'm kind of here for like a maximalist fashion. But it is ruining our hair, guys. It is. It's so bad for you. Ruining our hair. Like if you did the hairline check. Yeah, I've actually seen a few girls on my Instagram who had a lot of, who used to wear a lot of like slicked back buns and they've actually had to go and get like a hair transplant. Yeah, because it pulls so much on your hair. I only ever do it when my hair's really greasy. That's the best way to do it. That's the only way to do it.

21:48Because you can't really do a good slicked back. Well, that's the thing.
