The LuxeGen Group Chat episode mixes celebrity gossip, fashion talk, and entertainment recommendations. They discuss Harry and Zoe’s wedding guest drama (Niall Horan says he’s not going; speculation ranges from missing invite to knowing a date).

They cover sports pop culture: David Beckham becoming the UK’s first sportsman billionaire (compared with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Ronaldo), Stormzy producing an Ian Wright football biopic, and Disney x F1 kickoff collections. They also hype FIFA World Cup halftime performers (Madonna, Shakira, BTS) and Shakira’s Instagram call for backup dancers.

Today on the Luxejoin group chat, we're going to be discussing Harry and Zoe's wedding guest drama. So for him to say he's not going must mean there's a date out there. It's not like your invites just got lost in the post.
0:36It's like you must know categorically that people have been invited to say, I'm not going. How you can be one of Shakira's backup dancers at the FIFA World Cup. I'm not joking, let's cancel the podcast. I might send one right now. Could you imagine genuinely if we did a group one and got picked? I genuinely think we have a chance. And the mega TV show you should be watching if you miss the summer I turn pretty. The one thing I will say is there's a lot more like naked skin in this one than this summer I turn pretty. Like there is... Wow, I was waiting for a bit of the rumpy la pumpy. And if you haven't subscribed, this is the perfect opportunity to do it before we get into it.
1:08SheerLuxe Team:So subscribe. Welcome back to the LuxGen Group Chat. I'm Poppy and I'm joined with Lola and Anna today. Hi! Lola, kickstart us off with what you're wearing today because you've got a special event tonight which we will get into later. Well, I've gone based off the event very white today. I'm in mango little what are these called? A harem pant. I've not heard that word in a while. Yeah, neither. Well, I'm bringing it back, guys. These are from mango. This is a Bershka little white tee. They've got the best. And this sure was mango too. I compliment you on that top every single time. I love it. It's so comfortable, but the thing is it doesn't have any arms, so it keeps spinning around my neck.
1:48I have a poncho as well and I'm like, I'm back to front. I don't know what you're wearing. Well, I've gone for a completely different vibe. I did not look at the weather forecast this morning and I will confirm the sweat patches underneath my jacket. I'm horrific. But I'm wearing boots from H &M, jeans are ASOS. They're really like fun shape though. I've not really seen the shape of jean. I know they're literally just a wide leg jean, but like they're very like 70s vibe because they do sort of flare out a bit at the bottom, which I love. I love the wash of the denim also. So this leather jacket is also ASOS Arrange.
2:23But again, it's super good quality. I love it. Like super nice and structured.
2:26SheerLuxe Team:You must be boiling. I am so warm. Yeah. We've gone completely different vibes. You were in the middle of winter. It's literally yin yin. I was outside having my lunch today. And I was like, guys, I got to go back in. Like I need water. Like I'm so warm. What about you pops? I am wearing these straight leg jeans. I had quite a lot of compliments on this style. So many. I gave you a big rundown. I'm bringing back the slimmer, straight leg vibe from Zara, then my Doc Marten loafers, and then this denim shirt. Everyone in the office is rocking a double denim at the moment. I've seen a lot of it this week.
2:58And this is actually from Next. You know what you're giving? You're giving that nanny from the parent trap when she wears double denim the whole time. I feel like I'm giving mice of men.
3:08SheerLuxe Team:Nishia 10 reference there. Did you read that in school? Yes. I studied it. Who didn't?
3:18Firstly, we've got to talk about where I was last night and where Lola is going, which is why she's sporting the beachy white vibe, the Mamma Mia party at the O2. Guys, I had the best night of my life. It's so you. Honestly, when Eliana was like, let's go, I was like, I would never say no to that. I even put on my private story last night, no replies at my wedding day. Jamie and me, it felt like it. And so what I didn't realize is it's not, it doesn't follow the storyline of Mamma Mia. It's slightly different. and Peter Andre was the main character. Nice. Icon. And so he's Nico, the owner of the Taverna, which is the restaurant you're in.
3:53And then he has a wife who's like kind of the donor of the group. Oh my God, I thought he was just there as a guest. No, he sang. No. But it's great. And I did have a look around and like the setting is amazing but I thought what can they really do other than just like break it onto song but I won't spoil. But there's some other crazy things they do. Really? They genuinely make the show and the meal worth the money. The food was also incredible. Yeah, you explained it earlier. Yeah, it sounds, Greek food's the best. So good. And just the atmosphere, like you're kind of, you sit in, you know, like if you go to like Benihana, like unless you have a party of like 10, you end up sitting with other people.
4:25Yeah. So you're all just there making friends. I made friends with Peter Andre's cousins. That's cool. They were on my table.
4:31SheerLuxe Team:No, you've got to explain who else you met because it was a mega night for you, wasn't it? I met Tracy Beaker. Major. Iconic. Insert picture and selfie. I met Granddad Frank. We love Granddad Frank. So cute. No, he was boogieing. he was not messing around. And he knew who you guys were, no? He did, he wanted a photo with the Sherlock Holmes. Was he filming any content? His granddaughter or niece, one of his relatives was filming it for him, yeah. I think that would be the kind of thing, if I watched that happen, it would put tears in my eyes. Eliana, we did get emotional. Yeah, I would too. And then I met, who else did I meet?
5:04Princess and Junior Andre. Major. They were absolutely lovely. Her hair is unreal. So, so nice. She's beautiful.
5:12SheerLuxe Team:And they're filming a documentary for her, right? Yeah, they're filming, so she has a reality show. I actually watched season one. I thought it was great. Unreal. And then they're filming season two. So I was there with the cameras like, am I going to make it in? Look at camera. Most definitely didn't. And there was loads of other just random, Firmacan, loads of other random people there. But it was just so nice because you're all on the same level. Everyone's just getting up, having a boogie. Yeah. I feel like you have to go and sort of like, even if you're not a Mamma Mia fan, you become one that night.
5:42SheerLuxe Team:100%. Like you're into it. And I'm ready for it. Yeah, I'm intrigued to see what you think. So this is my Sophie outfit. Love that. Do you know what I mean? I do get what you mean. But speaking of crazy performances, have you seen the lineup for the FIFA World Cup halftime show? Yes. We give it to me. I don't know. We have Madonna, Shakira. Mega. And BTS. Unreal. What a lineup. Apparently that was a bit of a teaser for they might do Coachella next year, but I don't know. No way. Because I feel like they're quite, between them, I mean, BTS is very new, but a bit niche to headline Coachella. I feel like you do need - But they have a huge audience.
6:19Yeah, true. But as in those three together, no? Bit rogue. I think it gives a variety. BTS are a big group. Yeah, they're massive. Also, Shakira, she just is, for me, FIFA World Cup. Do you remember that other one she did? The song? Yeah, oh, because this is, is that what's her? Because this is Africa, Samina, mina, eh eh, waka waka. If they're not giving those vibes, I don't want to. But that's going to be really emotional for those football fans out there.
6:40SheerLuxe Team:Shakira holds the title of the best work I couldn't agree more yeah I listened to it on ironically a lot It's like ingrained in our childhood. I think it's cool. We did like a performance to her song Me too. Did everyone do that? Yeah, it was like a renowned thing We did and also I don't know if you guys have seen Shakira has put a note on her Instagram being like I need backup dancers for my halftime performance Send a video in of you dancing and it could be you. I'm not joking. Let's cancel the podcast like someone right now. Could you imagine genuinely if we did a group one and got picked? I genuinely think we have a chance.
7:12That would make some unbelievable content, that would. But I absolutely love that because I feel like that is what the World Cup's about is bringing loads of countries together and that is getting loads of people to share a bit of the love. It's not just going to be loads of influencers and models.
7:26SheerLuxe Team:Give me two frozen mugs and I'll be right up there. Also, just you talking about the whole like bringing together. I think the people that they've chosen to perform, like I think you've got like the Madonna, for that heritage, she's just such an icon. I mean, y 'all are. 100%. And then Shakira, she's just so, and then BTS. She is the World Cup. She is the World Cup. Yeah, she's the World Cup. And BTS has a huge fandom. We've got the new big time Gen Z, and then like you say, the icon that is. But she's really had a comeback. I mean, she's always been around. Performing at Coachella with Sabrina was massive.
7:56Mahousous. That song they did together went so viral. I was listening to it on repeat. Also, she looks incredible. I wanna look like her.
8:04SheerLuxe Team:Guys, I've met her before. What? Yeah, isn't that wild? And she's teeny tiny. So her son Rocco, who's Guy Ritchie's son too, Rocco Ritchie is an artist. And he had a gallery on, and I went to the gallery when I was like 16, and she just rocked in. And I was like, this is the tiniest woman I've ever seen. Really? She's just like full latex. Slow. It was like 4 p.m. on like a Thursday, and she was like in a latex suit, and I was like, get it. Oh my God, slow. How old is she? I don't know. I love her though and I always have. She's diva. Also her TikTok pops off. So good, right? I've not seen it.
8:41SheerLuxe Team:Oh my God, she's like active online. I don't know who runs it because I'm like, sis hasn't got the time to be chronically online. Does she have a bit of fan? Like I don't like it when they take it too seriously. Yeah, no, she's cool. She's kind of like what I can imagine like edgy influencers growing up into me. Yeah, so true. You know what I was thinking of? BTS' fan base are quite militant. Yeah. So imagine they buy all the tickets for the World Cup and all the people that actually care about football. So true. I actually think you could be onto something there. I'm not going to lie, they're good at getting tickets.
9:14SheerLuxe Team:There's so many BTS fans in the world. They're like huge. Yeah. Like huge. I don't know. Wait, what is their main song? Smooth like butter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only one I know. How does it go? Smooth like butter. I need more. That's all I know That's all she's got Also World Cup news Buzzwill have released Eight new limited edition flavours For the countries I think we've got one guys Yeah do we have one? Surely we're like Buzzwills in our veins 100 % I wonder what our flavour would be Like Eton Mess Or Or like Vicky Sponge Yes I bet you it will be So USA have got one called Flags and Freedom Orange and Pineapple Blend Oh that's not why I was expecting That's not giving you S.
10:01But I like that flavor.
10:02SheerLuxe Team:Can't wait to try. Agree, not giving you S. They should have had barbecue wings or something. Yeah, or like Texas ranch. Mexico with watermelon and a spicy kick, 100%. That is a bit of me. 100%. That Mexico can't wait to try. Brazil is a citrus forward option. Don't know what that means. Nice. I would have thought Brazil would have been pineapple. Yeah. Yeah, true. Or mango. Argentina inspired melon with a peppery twist. Guys, these are banging. Also, apart from the US is a glitch, these sound pretty accurate. And then for England, you ready for this? This one is called Pit Pit Punch. Wait, I love that.
10:40I love that. Oh, it's lemon tea.
10:44SheerLuxe Team:Oh. Why? Buzz balls. Guys, I'm not glad I don't like lemon tea at all. No, neither. Let's not hate it till we try it, because we might love it. So, are we yellow? We're just pale and red. That sounds about right. Me and Summer are pale and red. How's that giving lemon tea? I don't get it. Oh guys, no, I'm gutted. Yeah, that is gutted. I really thought we were gonna get a banging flavor. But maybe they'll shock us and it'll be really good. Yeah. I just want a full supply of Mexico. Yeah, me too. I think watermelon bit spice. For this World Cup, I claim Mexican. Yeah, me too. Yeah, me too. On the topic of football and sports, have you seen that David Beckham has become the UK's first sportsman billionaire.
11:28Insane. Wait, really? Yeah. UK? UK. Fine. And for context, the other billionaires on the list, we've got Michael Jordan. I can't. Tiger Woods. Yes. And Ronaldo. So the fact that David has made it on there is absolutely insane. It's cool.
11:43SheerLuxe Team:But like, not going to expect it to happen a bit sooner. Yeah. Like for the first ever UK sportsman. Who else would be up there though? Oh, F1 drivers. Yeah. They don't. Lando, where are you, doll? it's an expensive sport though yeah they're spending a lot they're making billions but they're not making as much as the football that is wild and it had to be him though he's an icon he's also he nailed it from first off being like the first sportsman influencer yeah like he was hot yeah he had the gift of the gab but he also was you don't nail it from being just hot he did such a good job sweetie but he also was after watching his documentary I just thought he became famous I'm not gonna lie for being quite a good looking footballer I didn't realise how insane he was yeah I agree I mean the fact he's also married to Victoria Beckham they're just such an iconic duo also he's got like that Netflix documentary would have done some good listen he's been around a while I think he's earned it that's incredible though yeah I love them two together me too they're so iconic like I was obsessed with seeing them on the documentary I'm so invested in like what they get which is how they like cooperate with each other also i think also kind of rogue fact but i think they look really similar no i know what you mean like different color for hair but like they just look to be fair yeah yeah i can never tell who they look more like because i'm like kids yeah yeah like romeo and cruise look like both of them look so different to those two i think brooklyn looks like david beckham yeah agreed i wonder how brooklyn's doing i know i know i just absolutely love the clip of them dancing in the kitchen to the islands in the street every time i think of that song it's them like what and their house is so nice so i like how it's quite farm-esque yeah in the cotswolds it's giving wholesome not just like minimalist and somebody i know accidentally drove into their house by mistake huh what well it's right next to drove into it's right next to like a big stop in the cotswolds and she thought she was going into there so she just drove in and she realized where I'm supposed to be.
13:50SheerLuxe Team:I would have thought they have a bit more security. Well, I think they might have thought it was them or something. God, are you? Yeah. Kind of funny though. That is iconic. I would have gone walking about. Sorry, V. Sorry, VB. Oh, David, put your clothes on.
14:09David, David, stop it. Oh God. We're not done with the sports world context. We've got a few other bits and bobs to discuss. Another one, Stormzy is to produce the football biopic of legend Ian Wright. That's cool.
14:25SheerLuxe Team:Because he has murky films or murky productions. Yeah. Which I don't think many people know. I feel like that's quite a cool side quest. It's Stormzy's like film production company. I didn't even realize he had a film production. I think it might just be production or maybe he does music videos and everything. I'm not really sure. I love when you hear about these like people in the industry then all of a sudden they were known for like golf and then all of a sudden they like own a sweetie business. Yeah, apparently I did see the other day on TikTok that talent agencies and production companies is going to be the next celebrity side hustle.
14:57So everyone's going to move off from like beauty brands and fashion collabs. It's going to be, let's start making our own agencies and make some dollar after knowing what we're doing. Listen, I think it works for the right sort of people.
15:09SheerLuxe Team:Stormzy's obviously a very creative person. So you'd have that brain. But like, I'm thinking like, you know, sports people, don't really see the sort of production side for them but it's like someone who wants to aspire to be someone like that who would you want to go for advice you'd want to go to the person you idolize and be like what they have their own agency that's the exact person they know everyone like yeah they've got the contact agencies and production it's all about knowing people and agencies i think in general like i feel like this good start of the chunk of your business will be finding those contacts yeah finding good locations or people to know parties to know like all this sort of stuff, like getting your in, I feel like is half the thing with these agencies.
15:48And I think it's really smart that like actors and actresses are doing it as well, like with Witherspoon's company. And then I didn't even realize until I was really researching Wuthering Heights about Margot Robbie's production company called Lucky Chap, and she helped do Wuthering Heights with it. So she can be producing the films that she is then in. And I was like, wow, way to make it a full round production. Did Drake not have some involvement as well with like Euphoria? Yeah. Ah. And Labyrinth. And Labyrinth.
16:17SheerLuxe Team:I mean, it makes sense. It does. They're more like stuck in the world. They've been in it since they were like 16 or what. And like you say, they know the context. They do. If Margot Robbie wants to make and produce a film, she's got all of her pals to be in it. Yeah. And I feel like a lot of them know like outside in, like they haven't all started Nepo vibes. Yeah. Like Tom's is not a Nepo baby, so like, he's earned his way up. Do you know what I mean? And I think that's such a good collab. I think that works really, really well. Yeah, I quite like Ian Wright. He doesn't always wear a hat. Yeah.
16:47SheerLuxe Team:We don't know enough about him and some boy's going to be like punching the air. Oh God. Another final sporting one we've got is Disney XF1 kickoff partnership ahead of the Montreal Grand Prix with new collections. Yeah, but this one looks really cool. Like it's, you know, I feel like Disney's quite retro sometimes and I feel like the sporting world can fit really well into that sort of retro clothing. I feel like it works hand in hand. It's also a good way to get young people, I think, on the sport. A hundred percent. Which more and more people are, but it used to be a bit of an old man's, old man fart sport, didn't it?
17:24Yeah, I'm so jealous. And bringing such a heritage brand like that to that, it's such a good collab, because it's not like a new one that doesn't have a cult following, it's like two cult followings mixed together. Exactly.
17:34SheerLuxe Team:Yeah, you recognise both of them immediately. Yeah, a huge brand. Did you hear that Niall Horan said that he's not going to Harry Styles' wedding? It's breaking my heart. How insane. But why? He said on a podcast recently, it's either he didn't get the invite or they're just not mates anymore. Or both. That's probably why you wouldn't get the invite, right? But he said, yeah, I'm not going. And that kind of, that broke my heart. Yeah, that does push my heart. But also for him to say he's not going must mean there's a date out there that he must know among his famous friends. Because it's not like your invites just got lost in the post.
18:04It's like you must know categorically that people have been invited to say, I'm not going. Or yeah, he just didn't get the invite.
Read the full transcript
18:10SheerLuxe Team:Oh my God, that's really sad. All Niall in Niall love, like heart way, that maybe he was put on the spot and he didn't want to release that there was a wedding. So he just said, I'm not going. Maybe he is going. That's a good way of looking at it. Oh, I wonder if he'll invite, I would have thought out of all of them, he would have invited Niall and Louis. So I'm like. I wonder if any of them are then going. But there is these things about weddings there. And I feel like Zoe Kravitz, she gives me like super, super personal. Yeah. They're giving me the ick. Oh, why? I don't know with this whole personal thing.
18:41SheerLuxe Team:I'm a bit like, you guys are so in the limelight. Share something. Even at the Met Gala, her hiding the ring in every photo or not wearing it. She had her hand in her pocket the entire time. Really? Yeah, she didn't get it out. And she had the other arm out. And I was like, I don't know. Something about them is like, it's a lot of negative presence around it. I feel like with them, this could be a really rough take, but I feel like they were almost trying to give the, we don't care, we're so elusive. we're probably gonna alone for our wedding, it's gonna be really small and intimate, when ultimately just like, have a bit of a laugh.
19:13I don't know, or just like, you're both that famous. Again, I do completely understand we're not in a position where we don't understand what it's like having press and fans and everything, but if you are in that position, have a little bit of fun with it. Don't just be, they're giving like, no paps. And it's like, but it's a pappable situation. Yeah, but I'm playing devil's advocate here. I personally just don't think they're those kinds of people. I don't think they have they ever been in situations like that where they have done that before that would make you think that I feel like Harry when he was with that Olivia Wilde or when he's been with people in the past
19:45SheerLuxe Team:he's kind of been a bit let's go also Zoe Kravitz was so loud about her other engagements oh okay her wedding like I feel like the more you hide it the more the fans are gonna go crazy like if you're just a bit natural about it and being like yeah my ring's out instead of like hiding it at the Met Gala people wouldn't go that insane I don't know but maybe she might think of like oh maybe if it's all about at the wedding, no one's gonna be having eyes on his tour or they'll take away from that. You know Nana used to style Harry Styles on the X Factor? She only dropped that the other day and I was like, Nana, would you have a piece of Harry Styles?
20:20Just like, piece of your pie.
20:22SheerLuxe Team:And she was like, no, he's a son to me. I used to style him on the X Factor. I was like, you have kept this so quiet. Speaking of, I saw Zoe Kravitz went to Harry Styles' show with like all his mom. I wonder, did she even see him on stage? The Beef. Have you seen The Beef about Harry Styles tour? No. Oh my gosh. So he's getting quite a lot of hate to be fair. And I'm meant to be going so I really hope we pick it up or they change the set. But basically the set is like a massive square into the audience. But it goes like this so he can like go up and down. But then a lot of people are saying, yeah, it's great because there's a lot more barricade space to get to like the front row.
21:03Right. But if you're here and you're next to one of the dips, then when he's on the other two platforms, or main stage, you can't see. And there's photos. And those are the people who have paid like, a thousand pounds.
21:15SheerLuxe Team:I do kind of feel like he just finished tour. Why rush into it? And a lot of people are saying he's giving like 20%. Like there was one of, I think it was Waterman Sugar, one of his biggest songs. And he was like holding the mic, and then like it gets to the chorus where you're kind of ready to go, and then he just goes like this, and then holds the mic up and is bopping. then like puts it down and walks away and everyone's like, he just doesn't look that into it anymore. And I'm like, I can't decide between, is this his new vibe? Like, I feel like his new album is a bit more like elusive. Maybe this is why he's going off this PR with Zoe as well.
21:45Like, I'm in the crowd and like, I don't really care. And I'm just like here for a vibe. It's not as like punchy and like marchy. But I think personally, again, playing Devil's Adafruit. Somebody's a fan. I think this is a different tour. It's a different sort of concert.
22:02SheerLuxe Team:it's a different experience. Yeah, but if you can't see it. Yeah, no, I agree with that completely. Like the stage, not the vibe, even saw that HS HQ put out a post to basically be like, we see you, we hear you, we'll see what we can do, blah, blah, blah, blah, which is great. I'm glad they've acknowledged it. Maybe something will change the vibe up. But as for his actual stage presence, I do just think it's a different vibe. And I think people like to cling on to something. 100%. But he's still Harry Styles. Yeah, but there was something so powerful about his last tour. There was so much love.
22:34It was, it was a lot of like energy and love and this one's a bit more like super cool. He's giving like almost like a Gallagher brother. But maybe like you say, that is just a different vibe. It might not be that his heart's not as in it. Think of the upkeep though. For every tour you're gonna do say, for the rest of his life, you want it to be like love on tour. That it's unsustainable and you guys will be the exact same people. Not you personally, not coming for you. But you'll be the same people because of his downfall because he'll be like doing too much that he can't keep up and like but that's what's made
23:05SheerLuxe Team:Harry Harry like you go to a different artist for a different vibe like oh I feel that tired I'm not going to Sabrina Carpenter for some like no I'm not yeah I do mellow vibe yeah I'm going for like the cutesy girly boppy I just think let the guy like do his thing let's give him this tour and we'll see how he like how he does you have to age and you have to grow up out of something however babe was on tour about six months ago so like he can still bop and drop and shop. But I think he has. Maybe that's just me. Well, guys, I will let you know after June of the 13th what I think. I don't know where I'm sat or stood so I could be blocked as well.
23:41SheerLuxe Team:Is it in Wembley? Yeah. Are you standing? I don't know yet if I am, but if I am and I can't see a thing, I will be angry. My personal recommendation would be to go to the back so that you see more. Yeah. But if you're too close, you won't see as much. You look quite empty on videos. She's really slandering. sorry I do love guys not to hate but I had a Harry Styles cardboard cutout life in my bedroom for about 7 years I love him but I'm the first to realise like it's not or he just needed a bit longer he needed more of a hot minute that's what I mean like let the demand go up like where's Harry been we want him back and then energy comes back and he's like popping off get married come back let's recoup let's see how you do babe love ya Study and play.

25:02Well, before we move on to all the things we've been loving and buying at the moment, this is a reminder to please subscribe. It really helps us out. And then we can keep yapping with each other and filling you guys in on all the pop culture going on at the moment.
25:14SheerLuxe Team:Please. Okay, so first, we've been talking a lot on The Office about what we've been watching. So, Anna, do you want to kick us off with the show? Yeah. Are we talking about the same thing? Yes. Off campus. Oh my god. Have you watched it yet? No. No, Lola. I've seen you all talk about this. Okay, the fact that our whole table watches it and loves it. Lou had a literal 15 minute conversation with me. Off campus. Obsessed. Okay, but Lou loves that sort of stuff. I know, but off campus is the show of the moment. It really is. Are we talking about the Summer I Turn Pretty vibes? Yeah. I'm going to give it more teeny bop than the Summer I Turn Pretty.
25:48But like every character in there is hot. Also, more on just the fact that they're hot. but like they're all great. There isn't one that I'm like ugh. Yeah, agreed. Like I love them all. So what's the storyline? Like was that giving me up? It's based on a book, based on a series, which they're already starting to film series two. Basically it's a love interest between two and it's essentially one, the boy, Garrett basically wants to pass his exams and Hannah is basically like the smart tutor. She plays a bit of music. Of course, this is so American. And she wants a boy, but she doesn't know how to talk to the boy, she doesn't know the vibe.
26:27So they basically combine forces and they're like, I'll help you if you help me. And then from that, it flourishes.
26:34SheerLuxe Team:A bit like to all the boys I've loved before. Yeah, and a bit like 10 Things I Hate About You. Yes. So it's like, you know, ultimately, it is. Yeah, it's literally, if you chew to me, I will pretend to be your boyfriend and then this guy that you like, I know he's a big fan of me because he's like the main jock. Okay. He'll want you. And so then, yeah, it just, it just. This isn't Jenny Han, is it? No. It's on Amazon Prime. It covers also some like deep topics. It gets quite deep. And that's where I feel like I'm sure like a lot of people can sort of like connect to that sadness, that whole relationship and see how it kind of goes from one thing to another.
27:10Cause how it ends and who they, and who they, oh really? Not finished. Oh, Ava, shut up. Oh gosh, yeah, please do. But the one thing I will say is there's a lot more like naked skin in this one than this somewhere i turn pretty like there is wow i was waiting for a bit of the rumpy lupumpy yeah it's a bit more rumpy lupumpy compared to the somewhere i turn pretty well the somewhere i turn pretty there's nothing yeah there was nothing whereas as lu described it there's a lot of sweaty skin yes who but like yeah is it like rivals because that's a lot and i
27:43SheerLuxe Team:actually can't even watch that on volume past five because i'm so embarrassed really it's so raunchy. I have a fear of that as well, you know. I have a fear that if I'm watching TV and there's a sex scene, I will turn the volume right down if I'm ever in a room. Or God forbid you're watching that on like an airplane. Yeah, because I don't want my mum to walk past and be like, ooh, do you know what I mean? So I turn it down or skip. I think the exact same thing. But then sometimes I turn it down and I'm like, does this sound more suspicious now? Like, do what I sound like about being caught. Yeah, or like when I would watch a film on my bed in my own, no, in my own bed at uni and there would be a sex scene, I would be like turning down, turning down.
28:23I don't want people to be like, oh, Poppy's in there. You know what I mean?
28:26SheerLuxe Team:Nothing wrong with a bit of woman's pleasure. Just something wrong with everyone thinking it's midday. When I'm just trying to watch Garrett Graham. I am just trying to watch that. Get his girl. Yeah. Oh, but it's so good, though. Honestly, you need to watch it. I feel like I will like it. I like any of that stuff. You can watch that. I watched it in a weekend. Megan's binged it in a day. She's already started the books. I would do that. I'm a binger. Yeah, same. I binged all of Legends I've been watching. I started episode one of that. So good. Really good. Very different vibe. Talk to me. I haven't seen this.
28:56SheerLuxe Team:It's basically based on a group who need to do a heroin bust in Liverpool and London. And they're sort of like custom. So they're not the police force and they're not like undercover. They're customs officers who get like sort of recruited. And like, are you looking for something else? because they're obviously good at spying out for drugs and stuff. That's their whole job. So they kind of get put together and they're like, right, you're given legends, which is like sort of their aliases. And they get split up and they sort of like go into the groups and how they sort of like bust this whole like drug scandal.
29:32SheerLuxe Team:And that's a true story. Yeah. Wow. Oh, I like when it's a true story. Yeah. And really good gripping. It's kind of like filmed in Slow Horses vibes but a bit more if it was married to the gentleman. Do you know what I mean? That was some lovely literature. Yeah, wow. But it's so good. I binged it so quickly. It's definitely one to watch with like at night and a bit spooked out. Also on something that's a bit more darker, the Crash documentary on Netflix. Incredible. Obviously, it's a very sad story. It's about a murder mystery. It's about a girl called Mackenzie Shrilla who essentially crashed a car with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's best friend in it.
30:13and it was deemed it was a double homicide and she's been sent to prison. And it was just the whole story of it and the mom being involved, the parents from the two deceased were also in it and they sort of told their side of the story. Mackenzie Shrilla's parents were also in it. They're telling their side of the story. And also she in prison is also interviewed, I think for the first time ever. That's so interesting. It was really interesting. And like, I don't know about her, there's something fishy about her. Really? Oh, so you think it could have been a homicide? Oh, I 100 % do. What? Why would she want to kill her boyfriend and boyfriend's friends?
30:46Because there's all these facts of when there's actual CCTV camera footage of her pushing 100 % on the accelerator, never once pushed the brake and goes right into a wall. But wouldn't she have nearly killed herself? Yeah. But she didn't die. She doesn't care. She just ended up in hospital. How does she do that? I don't know. That's weird. I do find it really weird and creepy in all these kind of Netflix documentaries that I absolutely love. Yeah. That like, have you seen the one about, it's like the murder of the family next door and it's like the dad with the two little girls. I'm like, isn't it mad that you could be married to someone for that many years or have a boyfriend and they just are a murderer?
31:21Yeah. Not even know their true identity. That story's so sad. But that one's gutting. And their parents are in this, the crush documentary, their parents are still very much on Mackenzie's side thinking there's no way it could have been her. There's also like Facebook pages being set up and her defense and being like, this definitely wasn't her. She's completely innocent. She needs to be freed. All this. It's so good. Like it's one of like, I think my favorite documentary that Netflix has done recently. Wow. And I think I've watched them all. I'm gonna watch that. And to finish off, I feel like let's just whip around and go through what is one product you've got on your wishlist right now.
31:54SheerLuxe Team:I really like this set from VRG Girls, Verge Girls. Verge Girls. I love Verge Girls. Iconic brand. So good. But it's like this pink, like long top with matching trousers. Oh love. Would be really good on like in the summer holiday evening. because I quite like a covered summer's evening outfit. Nice. Like I'm not always about the short dresses. You love a short dress, but like on holiday with your fam? Yeah. Long. So that, I saw this girl called Georgia Nicholson recommend it and I was like, need that. And she paired it with like polka dot little pumps and stuff like clashing in. Yeah. It's all about clashing materials.
32:29Yeah. I've actually seen a pair of sunglasses from the Specs, which I think they do my favorite style. They're so good. Feel everything on sunglasses. And there's a pair that's new. I think it's called like Celestina. And they're black, but they've got a really, really thick, chunky frame. And it's a bit like, it's a bit different, but unique. And they've got like a gold detailing on the side. Nice. Super black towel. And I just think they'd be such a fun addition to like, maybe like a bit more boring outfit. Or like, I don't know, spice the look up a little bit. I can absolutely see you in that.
33:01I can see that.
33:01SheerLuxe Team:Just because you needed more glasses, didn't you? Yeah, I know. Honestly, I have way too many. Pops? so this small business I thought did an amazing PR strategy and what they've done is it doesn't seem like they've spent too much on like social or marketing but what they did is for Australian Fashion Week just gave Jackie Alexander their jacket that they want to promote to wear and she wore it so now they've gained so much traction online like I am waiting for the job I think it's around Monday at 8pm and it's this really cool like high neck quite long jacket so you could wear as a top I've seen it style the black capris it's red it's cord it's got a belt and loads of different pockets and it's from, well the brand is called From Beverly and it is such a cool jacket, I really really want it and then they do another one, it's quite similar to your Charlotte Simone one but it's short, the black Afghan coat and just they look like they're going to be a small business that will boom because it seems like they're doing small drops but of really top quality unique styles and these two jackets I think are going to be known as the From Beverly jackets.
33:58SheerLuxe Team:I like their socials too. Yeah so I want to get those if I can. I feel like if there's one person who knows a good small brand. It'd be Pops. Team, that is all we've got time for today. I'm gutted.
