'I Have A New Idea Of Romance': Miley Cyrus On Love, Strength And The Power Of Perfume
'You can miss something or someone deeply, while still looking forward to what is to come next. Like destruction, death, disappointment—they all can be looked at as an ending, but I've always seen them as the beginning of something new.'
'It's been a dream to create something and watch it live independently out in the world. [It has] taught me a new sense of trust that everything happens in the way that was divinely planned, to learn to let go and to enjoy the process as much as success.'
'I love the name Intense. Although a flower is soft and subtle, there is still an intensity in its strength and self-sufficiency.'
'Everything I do is at a 10. I've always been that way. I run on passion and inspiration, and so no matter what it is, big or small, my heart has to be on fire to even entertain whatever it is.'
'The summer sun, hiking and being in nature with animals, swimming in waterfalls, and laughing with people I love.'
'My grandmother, because I was always sitting with her, and her perfume would rub off on me. When I'd go back to my parents, she was still with me in some way.'
'Something that is subtle, sweet, but still very present and memorable.'
'As I have matured, I have a new idea of romance, and I think what I gravitate towards reflects that.'
'I like to spray it into the air and dance under it, giving it some life and keeping the scent subtle.'

3 Nineties Winona Ryder Looks To Steal For 2025 – From Grunge Glamour To Red-Carpet Minimalism
Winona Ryder graces the cover of ELLE UK this month. A true style icon, the actor has always mastered that elusive balance between rebellious and refined dressing, making her one of the most enduring fashion muses of the Nineties and beyond. In celebration of her timeless style, we've rounded up three of her most iconic 1990s outfits and reimagined them for 2025. From red-carpet moments to off-duty airport chic, these looks feel just as relevant today as they did then, proving that good style never goes out of fashion. At the Eyes Wide Shut premiere party in 1999, Ryder embodied late-Nineties minimalism in a sheer black slip dress, arm cuff and kitten-heeled mules. It was a look that whispered rather than shouted; a quietly provocative, effortlessly cool ensemble. For 2025, we're recreating this barely-there elegance with a sheer, bias-cut slip that nods to Ryder's original. Pair it with kitten heels – chic, sensible, and a nostalgic throwback to Nineties party style that won't kill your feet by midnight. Add a hint of glint with a sculptural cuff-style bracelet or two, paired with matching earrings. Ryder's 1992 Dracula premiere look, an iridescent blue skirt suit complete with broderie anglaise trim and an in-built corset, was a masterclass in power dressing. This is a look you could lift wholesale for 2025 – the ruffle and lace detail falls just on the right side of coquettish, especially when styled simply with just a pair of slingback heels and a simple necklace. Or, you could channel that same cool confidence with a contemporary twist, swapping corseted tailoring for a boxy jacket and matching skirt. Either way, like Ryder then (and now), you'll look smart, subversive and subtly glamorous. Tailoring has always been a key part of Ryder's style, whether on the red carpet or off-duty. This oversized blazer and cropped trouser combo, which she wore for a flight into LAX, is effortless, a little grunge and timeless. Whether you're airport-bound or running errands, this is Ryder's signature brand of nonchalant chic that turns heads without ever trying too hard. Copy her original 1990s 'fit with a menswear-inspired blazer worn over an oversized white tee (dinosaur suitcase optional), or channel Ryder's ELLE cover shoot with something a little more tailored, worn with lashings of gold jewellery.

Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff's Astrological Compatibility
Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff seem to have it made. For one, they're both excelling on the career front—it seems like Jack is constantly producing a hit pop album, and Margaret stays leading critically-acclaimed feature films. But based on the way that they talk about their relationship, finding each other has been their greatest blessing. "Falling in love with Jack was the biggest feeling I've ever felt," Margaret shared in her Cosmopolitan cover story. "I spent so many years trying to be someone's perfect girl, and that girl changed over and over again. But I can't lie to Jack. I can't be that for him—he'd see through it. So I just have to be myself. He's been the person I've pictured my whole life." The pair started dating in 2021 and got married two years later at a star-studded celebration in Jack's home state of New Jersey (Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, and Zoë Kravitz were all in attendance). And before they were even together, not-so-subtle moves were being made to set them up. "We'd heard rumors [Jack] was looking for forever love," Margaret's sister Rainey told Cosmopolitan. "So when there was a small party on the roof and I had a bit too much to drink, I proceeded to tell Jack that he needed to date my sister!" So yes, everything about their love story seems like a that's probably because it was written in the stars. Jack's an Aries, Margaret's a Scorpio, and both of those signs are ruled by Mars, the planet of action and passion. Now that usually indicates a pair will be high drama with an incredibly fiery dynamic, but a closer look at their birth charts shows that Margaret and Jack are nothing of the sort. In fact, despite their global fame, they share a harmonious, comfortable, and pretty liberating inner life that makes them feel truly at home. That said, we went ahead and broke down the duo's birth charts to find out what makes their love story so special. Read on to find out for yourself. [OR WHATEVER LITTLE KICKER YOU WANT!]] There's a lot of deep Scorpio energy in this relationship. Margaret's Scorpio Sun sits close to Jack's Mars and Pluto in Scorpio, meaning they've got great physical chemistry, and the relationship has been super transformative for them both. This astrological overlay also explains why it was love at first sight for these two. 'We met right as COVID was ending, at the first party I'd been to,' Margaret shared in her Cosmo cover story. We saw each other on a roof, and we just started talking and never stopped.' Couples who share this synastry often find themselves immediately drawn to each other, and it can be scary how deep things get early on. Margaret and Jack share this astro aspect in Scorpio, a sign defined by its intense nature. That only magnifies the all-encompassing "this is the one" feeling they both had from the beginning. The ballad "Margaret" by Lana Del Rey and Jack's band The Bleachers is a tribute to their romance, but it captures the way this all-encompassing astrological aspect plays out well, too. "He met Margaret on our rooftop, she was wearing white/And he was like, "I might be in trouble"/He had flashes of the good life." This is the couple whose banter sounds like a foreign language to outside listeners. Their conversations about everything from the weather to global politics are animated, and it's because they come from super different schools of thought. These competing attitudes and perspectives will keep their dynamic fresh and entertaining. Margaret's Mercury, the planet of communication, is in the sign of Libra—so she's pretty diplomatic and likes to hear out both sides of any issue. It sits opposite Jack's Sun in Aries, which makes him a quick decision maker and unafraid of conflict. Their communication styles may contrast, but that keeps things interesting. Jack's Venus, the planet of love, is in a harmonious trine with Margaret's Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion (aka their planets are in the same astrological element). This synastry aspect says that two people will share similar tastes and find it very easy to build a life together. Neither one feels forced to compromise when they're discussing plans for the future. They're naturally aligned on what they desire regarding home and family—be that where they live, how many kids they'll have, or which side of the family they'll stay with during the holidays. They both trust and understand what the other wants, and don't feel a need to question it.
