This is so bad. Where’s the snobbery of the high society that gives us aspiration?

Tatler is winning in the composition game but am not too sure of the hair colour and shadows in the text.

This doesn’t look Tatler at all!

I've just received my print subscription copy, it's 144 pages, and comes with the regular beauty and cosmetic surgery supplement, which is 128 pages.

Traditionally, Tatler has never had massive March and September issues, throughout the year the main issue is always around the same size.

In terms of ads, there's a Vuitton gatefold, Dior, Fendi, Chanel, Armani - but no Gucci. The big push for Gucci seems to be aimed towards the people who read editions of Vogue.

There are mini articles on Queen Margrethe's abdication ("Queen there, done that"), the reopening of Le Caprice (now called Arlington), "nepo billionaires now outnumber self-made ones", and the trend of wearing rubber and latex.

The fashion content is:

- A jewellery / fashion editorial WATCH & GLISTEN, shot by Luc Braquet, styled by Lydie Harrison, with Gia Lupei

- The neo-Edwardian SARGENT MAJOR, shot by Alex Bramall, styled by Hannah Teare, with Lucan Gillespie, taking inspiration from the artist John Singer Sargent, ahead of a Tate Britain exhibition of his work

There's also an interview with royal biographer Robert Hardman, who's just released a book about King Charles, a look at the reality of Guy Ritchie's new series about aristocrats being unable to afford to keep their estates afloat, the return of David Cameron, and how to smell of old money vs new money. The travel section is the Yucatan peninsula, and the Tatler throwback cover is Kim Basinger from May 1998.

Cover styling is far too heavy for what's supposed to be a spring cover. And why is the handbag cropped out?

Sounds like an issue to get. I want to watch that Guy Richie series lol. Nothing like a bit of fall from grace to lift the mood.

this picture looks tacccckkkyyyyy. I hate all the colors and the total focus on her hair is so distracting. This styling is also questionable.

And why is the handbag cropped out?

Handbag (not seen) is Lalage Beaumont. The rest of the look is Vuitton, so it was probably not seen as essential to include.
