Getting dressed / is getting confusing
Last year, mid-pandemic, fashion pundits declared that we'd never give up sweatpants. So where are all the elasticated waistbands now?
Gorman goes / After 22 years, Australia's president of prints has left her post.
Office foes / For women of colour in Stem industries, dressing for work can mean giving up your identity.
Country woes / And at Melbourne fashion week: Country Road Group warehouse workers engage in some off-schedule industrial action.

“The queen is entering a new phase” is our motto in this month of yassification, as Holocaust survivors get ranked by hotness, Australia prepares for its hot crab summer, and New York sex parties go off. Everything is too horny, the creeps have found Peloton, and TikTok has found its new hunk (but he is not a fan of the framing).

RIP to Something Awful's Lowtax, the most influential man on the internet. In other good reads: the implosion at Jezabel; the demise of Justin Timberlake; and the chaotic, homicidal fall of trucker hat empire Von Dutch. Sully yourself with the worst Ghislaine Maxwell take, then cleanse yourself with animal content: did these worms invent a bus? Did this dog enter my heart? Did this cat compose a masterpiece? Speaking of cats, Jake Gyllenhaal’s is being bullied – and brands are acting deranged over a story that doesn’t add up.

An album – flamboyant feels / Adele's divorce record 30 is finally out, and she's doing exactly what she does best: romantic despair and no-holds-barred wound-showing – or, as she puts it in a recorded chat with her nine-year-old: "mummy's having a lot of big feelings".

A show – gleefully garish / In season two of the high camp and deeply-historically-inaccurate series The Great, Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning) is pregnant and her hedonistic man-child deposed-Russian-Emporer husband (Nicholas Hoult) is under house arrest. Which is all well and good but also: Gillian Anderson guest stars!! It's on Stan.

A book - courting controversy / People have gone from having a lot to say about Emily Ratajkowski's body to having a lot to say about her book, My Body. Is it valuable critique? Privilege denial? Maybe both (or neither). Decide for yourself, then read the hot takes.

A book – masterfully meta / The US National Book Prize judges described their winner as 'masterful' and 'structurally and conceptually daring' this week. Written by Jason Mott, it weaves the story of a bullied young Black boy with that of an author touring his novel, Hell of a Book. In a deliciously meta move, Mott's novel is also called Hell of a Book. It's out now.

A film – sinister scenes / It's five stars for Jane Campion's first film in more than a decade, The Power of the Dog: a menacing western gothic psychodrama which stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, Kirsten Dunst and not enough dogs. It sounds sinister and intense. In cinemas now.
