- How To Recreate The ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Beauty Trend
TikTok has been a treasure trove of beauty inspiration this past year, and the latest trend to capture our attention – the ‘cinnamon roll’ look – is inspired by none other than Hailey Bieber and the launch of Rhode’s lip product in December of 2024. Full of warm, spicy hues and a signature dewy finish, this versatile trend works beautifully for both day and night. Here’s everything you need to know to master the look. What Is the ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Trend? The ‘cinnamon roll’ trend is all about glowing skin, soft brown tones, and a touch of cinnamon-inspired warmth. Think subtle bronzes, hints of caramel, and glossy, hydrated lips that reflect light beautifully. This trend leans into understated glamour, making it perfect for any occasion. The Must-Have Products Achieving this look is simple with the right products: Skin Prep: Start with a hydrating base. A lightweight moisturiser or primer with a dewy finish will give your skin a luminous glow. Try : Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid or Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream. Complexion: Go for a natural, sheer foundation or tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone. Add a cream bronzer for warmth and a touch of cream blush in a cinnamon or terracotta shade. Try : NARS Laguna Bronzing Cream or Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in ‘Love.’ Eyes : Keep the eyes simple but warm. Use a creamy brown shadow all over the lid, blended out for a soft-focus effect. Add a touch of shimmer to the centre of the lid and a slick of brown mascara for definition. Try : Urban Decay Naked Mini Palette in ‘Sin’ and Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara in brown. Lips: The star of the show. Go for a cinnamon-toned lip liner to define, then layer with a glossy balm or lip oil for that signature shine. Try : Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment in ‘Cinnamon’ or Dior Lip Glow Oil in ‘Mahogany.’ Application Tips Layering Is Key: Build up your look gradually for a natural, polished finish. Start light and add more pigment as needed. Blend, Blend, Blend: Use a fluffy brush or your fingers to blend cream products seamlessly into your skin. Highlight Strategically: Add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your face, like the cheekbones, brow bone, and the tip of your nose, for extra glow. Why It Works The ‘cinnamon roll’ trend is universally flattering, thanks to its warm, earthy tones and skin-enhancing finish. Whether you’re heading out for a daytime coffee or a candlelit dinner, this look is adaptable and effortlessly chic. Give it a try and let your inner glow shine!
- Did Jennifer Aniston's Hair Stylist Just Confirm "The Rachel" Is Back?
When the mastermind behind Jennifer Aniston’s iconic “The Rachel” haircut calls out a new hair trend, we are already on board, with our phones at the ready, waiting to tell our hairdressers that we "have to book in immediately" . Chris McMillan, the hair stylist responsible for countless red carpet and magazine cover hair moments over the last 30 years, is celebrated for his understated yet impeccable approach to styling. His talent has earned him a long list of A-list clients, including Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, Cameron Diaz, Claudia Schiffer, Lily Aldridge, and Selena Gomez. Recently, McMillan unveiled a fresh look for his latest client, actress Leila George, who stars in the upcoming indie film The Long Home alongside The Hunger Games ’ Josh Hutcherson. Sharing the details of Leila’s straight, flicked hairstyle on Instagram, he wrote, “Leila George Golden Globes final touches!!!” He revealed her haircut and colour, a warm “chestnut bronde,” were inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s sleek early 2000s styles. McMillan’s signature aesthetic—a polished, natural look—shines through in this latest creation. Chestnut bronde, a blend of golden, blonde, and chestnut hues, offers a softer alternative to brighter blondes and has been gaining traction as a go-to trend for 2025. Leila isn’t the only star embracing the chestnut hair movement. Ariana Grande transitioned from her platinum “Glinda blonde” to a chestnut bronde for the Golden Globes, while Zendaya debuted a chic chestnut brunette bob on the same red carpet. The enduring appeal of soft, face-framing layers continues to complement this trend. Layers that gently frame the cheeks, jaw, and collarbone add to the effortless sophistication of the look. For Leila’s style, McMillan achieved a glossy yet relaxed finish with a few smooth passes of a straightener—a modern nod to early 2000s elegance that feels just as fresh in 2025.

- Tiffany & Cesar Foundation Partner For Exclusive Dinnerware Collection
Each year, London’s oldest auction house Sotheby’s hosts its incredible design week auctions, dedicated to exceptional works of design. Celebrated alongside this year's sales lineup, was Tiffany & Co’s exclusive dinnerware collection in partnership with César Foundation. Sotheby’s salute to the exquisite work of Tiffany & Co during the week of events, was recognised through the Dreaming in Glass: Masterworks by Tiffany Studio’s auction. This curation of Tiffany & Co’s most important designs headed to auction with Sotheby’s on 13th December, including a rare Tiffany window, sold for a staggering $1.2 million. Tiffany’s latest collection, however, was displayed in a devoted exhibition during this year’s design week, paying homage to the work of French artisan César Baldaccini. Sculptor Baldaccini, a leading figure in the new realism era, found beauty in the unconventional and masterfully transformed compacted and recycled materials into works of art. Most notably his ‘Compression’ sculptures welded stacks of scrap metal into statuesque structures, with this work later becoming sought-after amongst art enthusiasts. Yet, it was his playful broken plate design of the early 70’s that served as inspiration for this one-of-a-kind Tiffany & Co. collection. Artist Director of Tiffany Home Lauren Santo Domingo shares that “The collection taps into his radical creativity to express the notion of breaking conventions of modern living. At their core, these collections celebrate Tiffany’s heritage and our long-standing connection to the art world.” The collection, an ode to the spirit of ‘inventive artistry’, fuses the sculptor’s archival designs with Tiffany & Co’s stylised flair. Comprising beautifully ornate espresso cups and ‘broken’ dessert plates, César Baldaccini’s revolutionary work shines throughout the collection. “César was fascinated with the idea of repurposing and recontextualizing. He took the idea of a broken plate and applied a new vision,” says Stephanie Busuttil-Janssen, Founder and President of the César Foundation. “His kitchen walls and ceiling were covered with white and blue broken plates, classic ceramics that he found in the market. It was beautiful. Even his garden featured broken plates – it’s something that is very César.” In true Baldaccini fashion, the César Foundation and Tiffany offer precious materials across the collection, including bone china dinnerware and gold-plated brass coffee spoons. Taking inspiration from Tiffany & Co gemstones, and of course the iconic Tiffany blue, the collection’s colourways adopt a revitalised and refreshed feeling. The pièce de résistance, a bronze-adorned charger plate, recalls the sculptor's love for the Art Nouveau movement. Inspired by Baldaccini’s ‘Expansion’ pieces of the late 60’s, this beautiful molten-metal creation marks a new and daring direction for tableware, much like César's ingenious mid-century art. Sotheby’s exhibition, held during their design week, accompanied Tiffany’s designs with a tablescape, which captured the essence of the collection to no end. Set upon a 1977 ‘Table Expansion’ by the sculptor himself, the display featured several art pieces inspired by César’s designs beside the full dinnerware collection. Tiffany & Co. and César Foundation’s creations are a true testament to the French sculptor and Tiffany’s enduring connection to the world of art. While the collection may not be up for auction with Tiffany Studios rare and vintage pieces just yet, it is certainly one for luxury collectors and art lovers alike to treasure. Discover the full collection below. Set of Six Coffee Spoons - $1,380 Dessert Plates - $960 Espresso Cups - $1,725 Cocktail Napkin - $410 Charger - $9,500 Coupe Bowl - $5,000

- Recipe: Baked Camembert with Rosemary, Thyme and Garlic
There’s nothing quite like a luscious, gooey, baked camembert, especially if it’s encased in rich, flaky puff pastry. This recipe from Ginger Pig, is a crowd-pleaser too, as seconded by their Seasonal Recipe Developer, Ellie Morris, "It’s not easy to serve this dish elegantly, but it’s so delicious that your guests really won’t mind. To use up the scraps of remaining pastry, cut it into small star shapes, brush with beaten egg and dust with freshly grated Parmesan.” Takes 50 minutes Serves 4–6 as a starter or 2 as a main Ingredients: 1 sheet of ready-rolled all-butter puff pastry 1 whole Camembert Leaves from 1 sprig of rosemary 2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced 2 teaspoons thyme leaves 1 egg, beaten Pinch of flaky sea salt Fortnum & Mason cranberry sauce, or redcurrant jelly to serve Method: Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), gas mark 6. Unwrap the sheet of pastry and lay it out on a board. Place the Camembert on it and score 2 large discs into the pastry, one about 3cm (1¼ inches) larger than the cheese to form the base, and the other about 6cm (2½ inches) larger, to form the top – check that the second piece will be big enough to hang down over the cheese on all sides and meet the pastry base. Cut the 2 discs out, using a sharp knife. Use a sharp knife to cut small slits all over the top of the cheese. Poke the rosemary leaves and slices of garlic into the holes. Scatter the thyme leaves over the cheese. Place the cheese onto the smaller of the 2 pastry discs on the lined baking sheet and brush the edge of the pastry with beaten egg. Place the larger disc on top of the cheese and press the pastry edge down to meet the base. Pleat the edges to make a neat join or press together with the tines of a fork. Cut two small slits in the centre of the pastry top, to allow steam to escape, then use the sharp knife again to score a pithivier-style pattern on top: gently cut a curved sunray pattern into the pastry, without cutting all the way through. Brush the whole thing with beaten egg and sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt. Place in the hot oven and bake for 25 minutes. When golden brown all over and nicely puffed up, remove it from the oven. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving, which – because the cheese will melt voluptuously – is best done at the table on a serving platter, and in front of your guests. Place the redcurrant jelly or F&M’s Cranberry Sauce Pantry Jar on the table, so that everyone can help themselves. https://thegingerpig.co.uk/
