My teta Tati, who would have been 91 today, in Beirut, 1968. I miss her every day but I’m also glad she doesn’t have to witness what’s happening to her beloved Lebanon 💔

“Sometimes you almost get the impression that Charli xcx is nostalgic for the days of Britney Spears: a time when pop music and its stars were a little more chaotic and volatile than they are today. In the music video for her song Von dutch, which sounds a bit like alarm sirens turned into a club beat, she storms through an airport at night, apparently being chased by paparazzi. Wearing large black sunglasses and torn tights, she seems to be fighting with the off-camera reporters. In 2007, Britney Spears shaved off her hair and hit a photographer’s car with an umbrella – a desperate attempt to regain control of her image, which at that time belonged entirely to the public. Back then, she became the joke of the year. Maybe that’s why the pop stars who followed her became so controlled. Nobody wanted to end up like Britney. Today, she would probably be labelled a brat for her outburst. And even if much of Charli xcx’s bratty image is just an image, even if the person behind the chaotic figure is a self-determined artist who gives focused interviews and hits the gym after the rave, there is still something incredibly liberating about her demeanour. ‘I want that rawness on stage’, she tells me. ‘To be perfect on stage feels a little bit stiff to me. I feel really comfortable and confident and sexy when I’m dripping in sweat and my hair’s going everywhere.’” Met @charli_xcx at her home in LA, profile is out in tomorrow’s style issue 🍏 Photographed by @hendrik.schneider for @zeitmagazin, THANK YOU to an incredible crew and team Charli 🍏 Styling @chrishoran20 Make-up @kalikennedy Hair @gregglennonjr Nails @nailsbyzola Production @fox.and.leopard @rafatttack Photo assistance @7.9999a Styling assistance @elmozworlddd

You have been through a lot in your life. You were raped at 13. Once you almost died from an abortion. Now the cancer … Tracey Emin: I have been through a lot, yeah. But the cancer, I had no choice over that. It’s like if you’re drowning, the worst thing you can do is panic. You should relax. The more you relax, the more chance you have to float to the top. Even if life is really, really terrible, it can always get worse. You got to try and stop that from happening. And that’s what I’m constantly doing in my life. You say terrible things have happened to me. I say amazing things have happened to me. (…) You always seem so wise, I would love to hear some advice from you. How does one survive heartbreak? TE: You just don’t see the person anymore who hurt you. A broken heart is like a piece of screwed-up paper. There’s always a chance that it could just open up again. My mom always said to me: Every day you’re single is exciting because you can meet someone. I’m 60 now and I got major disability. But I wasn’t expecting to fall in love before, and I did. So, you know, anything can happen. I’m not giving up hope on anything. (…) What advice do you have for women who decide not to have children? TE: Be prepared later on in life to feel that you’re not endorsed by society on a certain level. Of course, it depends on what your society is. If you’ve got lots of friends that are married and have children, you’re going to feel quite alienated and bored. (…) How does one deal with the prospect of perhaps only having a few months to live? TE: My surgeon said to me, You’re not afraid of anything, are you? I said, Yes I am afraid of torture. When you’re being tortured, they keep you alive. With this, I’m just going to die. Death looks after itself. I decided back then that I’d just take care of life. I decided to try and make the most of it, sort a few things out. I sorted my will out. I thought about what I was going to do with this place here in Margate, because it wasn’t finished being built then. I was planning for my death, but in a really positive way.

Linda Evangelista didn’t think she would work again. When she went public with her tale of woe in 2021 – describing how her body had been “brutally disfigured” and “permanently deformed” after a series of failed cosmetic procedures called CoolSculpting – “my single goal was to be able to walk around again, without feeling embarrassed”, she told me over lunch in New York in December. “That was my goal. Never did I think I could work.” And yet, somehow, she has managed to emerge from this crisis as a very special kind of role model. What’s inspiring about Evangelista’s story is that she is no longer trying to be an inspiration. She’s not pretending to be a body positivity advocate, and she’s not pretending to just look perfect naturally. She told me that the ad that got her to try CoolSculpting said something like, “Do you want to like what you see in the mirror?” Because, yes – even Evangelista, one of the most beautiful women in the world, didn’t like what she saw when she looked in the mirror, but she did want to like it, even if it meant deep-freezing her body. And who could blame her in a world where women of a certain age are regarded as devalued? A world where Ozempic ate Body Positivity, and where the public either calls out celebrities for looking old, or for getting work done? Evangelista has, albeit involuntarily, become the face of this dilemma: You will always be judged, either for having an aging body or for not wanting an aging body.
