Emulate The Boston Apartment In The Drama

Have you managed to catch The Drama at the cinema yet? Starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya as a soon-to-be wed couple, the film witnesses the shiny veneer of their relationship crumble following a dinner party gone awry. But beyond the, ahem, drama unfolding onscreen, it’s the chic Boston brownstone apartment – filled with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, art-covered walls and a sleek spiral staircase – at the centre of the film that has us hooked. ‘Thanks to the expert vision of production designer Zosia Mackenzie, the apartment feels much more than just a backdrop. It serves as an extension of the couple’s relationship – modern and polished on the surface, yet rich with subtle layers that hint at something brewing beneath the surface,’ agrees Sarah Ross, co-founder of Addison Ross. ‘The design mirrors their dynamic: elegant, yet full of depth, and perfectly suited to the drama unfolding within.’ To recreate it at home, Sarah’s top tips include sticking to a neutral palette, balancing clean lines with comfort and choosing art that resonates with your style; find the full guide here.

Going Out

Check Out The New Jolene Bakery

Stoke Newington bakery Jolene has become one of London’s hottest celebrity hangouts in recent years, attracting everyone from Harry Styles to Paul Mescal and Keira Knightley. And now, the brand is expanding with a new branch, opening today in the flagship store of London-founded fashion store Aries in Soho. Pop in to try one of the signature pastries made with Wildfarmed regenerative flours, such as rhubarb, frangipane and almond Danishes; flaky pains aux raisins; and jalapeno and cream cheese buns. Or visit for lunch, choosing from a daily line-up of sandwiches filled with the likes of bacon and leek with garlicky aioli and rocket; or braised fennel with creamy goats cheese and pickled onions. Sweet treats will also be available throughout the day – think glazed ring doughnuts and St Clements poppyseed drizzle loaf. Look out for special Jolene x Aries collab pieces in the shop too, like T-shirts, mugs and caps. 13 Bridle Lane, W1F 9BT, jolenebakery.com

Property Of The Day

From the 1,000 year-old refectory to a 10-seat hot tub, this former monastery is the ultimate mix of old and new. Once home to a conspirator who held on-site meetings to organise the de-throning of King James II, the property was later visited by Queen Mary (wife to George V).

Little Luxury

Dr. David Jack’s Korean Glass Skin Facial is a cult favourite for a reason. Ellie Smith headed to the Liberty clinic to give it a try, and can confirm it gives you an instant glow that lasts for weeks. ‘The treatment begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a micropeel (a tad stingy but suitable for even the most sensitive of skin), pore cleansing with a special tool and a bubbling oxygen mask. But my favourite part was the deeply relaxing Golki lymphatic drainage massage which left my skin feeling lifted and snatched. After 15 minutes under the red light mask, my therapist slathered my skin in serum and moisturiser to maximise that glass-like effect; I returned to the streets of Oxford Circus feeling like a new woman.’ Find more of London’s best facials here. £195, drdavidjack.com

Whatever You Do, Don’t

Mistake a naturist festival with a naturalist one. Cumbria Nature Festival (think conservation talks and guided walks) has been forced to stress that ‘clothes are recommended’ for attendees following a mix-up that led the family event to be mistaken for a nudist gathering. Oops!
