LuxeGen Podcast

Is 2026 the new 2016? On this week’s LuxeGen Group Chat, Saroop, Poppy and Nikkita are reminiscing about the era of Tumblr outfits, chokers and coming-of-age film soundtracks – and asking whether the chaotic charm of 2016 is officially back. They also get into their most-anticipated film releases of the year – including Hamnet, The Housemaid, Eternity and the rumoured Devil Wears Prada 2 – plus the digital postbox drama (yes, really), and that mysterious “Jenner-Chalamet” nameplate that’s sent the internet into a spiral. The panel also unpacks this year’s Golden Globes red carpet moments, reads out their January horoscopes, and shares what’s trending on their hot list – from the Zara blazer they’re all eyeing up to G.H. Bass cow-print loafers, Triangl bikinis and obsession-worthy bakes from Reemie’s & Violet Bakery…

In this special Group Chat Christmas episode, Daisy, India and Poppy look back on the most iconic (and questionable) moments of 2025. From viral memes and fashion collabs to celebrity drama and red carpet slays, no trend or controversy is off the table. JoJo Siwa x Chris Hughes, Timothée Chalamet’s Lime bike moment, Kendrick’s Super Bowl shade and the rise (and fall) of the lace asymmetric top… The three chat through their pop culture hot takes, best-of-the-year product faves, stocking filler gift ideas that don’t suck and have some heated debates (are skinny jeans actually back?! 👖👀). Plus, the group reveal their highlights of the year – from meeting Hailey Bieber to hanging with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Venice – and look ahead to what needs to stay (and go) in 2026…

This week, we’re easing into full festive mode as Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a cosy, chaotic catch‑up. They start with the big stories of the week – from Angry Ginge winning ‘I’m A Celeb’ and what made him such an unexpected fan favourite, to Australia’s controversial decision to ban social media for under‑16s (and whether it’s actually giving kids their childhoods back). Elsewhere, Netflix's potential acquisition of Warner Bros – the group discusses what that could mean for the future of film. Finally, they wrap up with Things We’re Loving, including how Charlotte Simone is taking over London, the underrated jewellery brands they’re loving, niche accessories on their radars, cosy investment pieces, *the* Abercrombie Christmas PJs to know and the small luxuries making December feel a little more special…

This week on the LuxeGen podcast, we're joined by actress, dancer and content creator Nikkita, who’s fresh from walking the British Fashion Awards red carpet in a look that landed her on the best-dressed list. The girls chat fashion week-worthy outfits, what it’s really like backstage at the Royal Albert Hall and why Maura Higgins never misses. Plus, Nikita spills on her new Channel 4 legal drama, learning how to voice act for animation and the unexpected rituals actors swear by to get into character. Elsewhere, they debate the ‘Home Alone’ sequel rumours, Billie Eilish’s upcoming 3D film with James Cameron and whether Ariana Grande has officially entered her Oscar era. There’s nostalgia galore (Toys “R” Us is BACK), theatre and film recs for the festive season and the ticketing scandal that has Olivia Dean – and the LGs – fired up…

Welcome back to the LuxeGen Group Chat – your go-to podcast for pop culture deep dives, TikTok theories and everything we’re loving right now. This week, Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a bumper episode covering jungle gossip, social media conspiracies and online nostalgia. The trio dive into this year’s ‘I'm A Celeb’ line-up (yes, we’re obsessed with Aitch and AngryGinge), debate the EsDeeKid x Timothée Chalamet theory, and unpack Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s ‘Wicked: For Good’ press tour chaos. Plus, they debate the return of Vine (or should we say… diVine?) and why the internet just isn’t ready. In fashion, they’re loving the adidas x ASOS satin tracksuit, shearling everything, boat shoes and Palace jackets, as well as the newly revived GAP. For beauty and fragrance, it's all about creamy scents and cosy vibes and in food and drink, the girls share the best spots in London – from The Camberwell Arms to Speedboat Bar – and celebrate the launch of Saroop’s new wine and coffee bar in Leeds. Plus, a wholesome moment for David Attenborough’s ‘Kingdom’, a heated roast potato debate and justice for antelopes everywhere…
