I profiled the acting and producing powerhouse that is Margot Robbie for the January 2026 cover of @britishvogue . She took me out for salads and white wine at the Hampstead Ottolenghi and told me all about @wutheringheightsmovie , the most talked-about film of our time (and it’s not even out yet).
From her director Emerald Fennell wanting the film to be “this generation’s Titanic” to why her co-star Jacob Elordi is the next Daniel Day-Lewis, plus her thoughts on the film’s casting and wild costumes, read my interview in full now on Vogue.co.uk, and please pick up an issue from 16 December before you head home for Christmas.
Thank you Emerald, Jacob, Charli XCX and all of Margot’s friends for talking to me for this story, and @chiomannadi@gileshattersley@oemarks for trusting me with this, and for all your help and support. And huge congrats to @jamiedspence and the team that brought this epic shoot together. Now to prebook my cinema tickets for next Valentine’s Day.

A huge honour to a) be among the friends and family of @dishoom illustrated in the new @dishoompermitroom on Portobello Road (find me on the second floor!) and b) be the first to stay at the restaurant’s top floor lodgings, the brand’s first overnight accommodation.
It’s a stunning two-bed, two-bath space overlooking the bustling market and the neon lights of the Electric Cinema, with antique furniture from Mumbai, incredible art curated by @rajivmenon (I now need @maya_vara ’s portraits in my flat), magazines selected by @shreejinews , an eclectic vinyl collection by @roughtradewest and books from @booksforcookslondon (thanks to you I’m now deep in Anthony Bourdain’s memoir). We also loved the bottomless house chai, the retro boardgames and Dishoom breakfast in bed. First look review in full now on Vogue.co.uk.
Big congrats to Shamil and Kavi! Thank you @gileshattersley for the commission, @gemmabellandco for the exclusive and @alicegeorgiadaly for always keeping me in the Dishoom family.
7 days, 17 films, 15 stories, 1 instance of bawling my eyes out in the cinema and also accidentally being in the room when Denzel got his honorary Palme d’Or. There’s nothing like @festivaldecannes ✨
I’d like to thank… 🥲 @bafta@ee@annahiggstagram for having me along at this year’s ceremony. Loved getting to reunite with my fellow EE Rising Star Award jurors. Also David Jonsson taking home that prize! Mikey Madison’s surprise Best Actress win! Take That! David Tennant singing 500 Miles! Jeff Goldblum playing the piano! And then ending the evening at the @britishvogue@britishgq Fashion & Film party. The best night ✨
Marianne Jean-Baptiste (@miss.lotusb ) is, without doubt, one of the loveliest and funniest people I’ve ever interviewed. She also happens to have given the performance of the year in Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths.
Thank you Marianne for sharing your experience of working on this very unique project, thank you Mike Leigh and Angela Bassett for talking to me about your talented friend, and thank you @gileshattersley@oemarks for this brilliant commission.
Read the story in full on vogue.co.uk and in the January 2025 issue of @britishvogue on newsstands now. And bring on awards season!
