‘Sense and Sensibility' remake already dividing fans after new cast additions announced
A fresh take on Sense and Sensibility has barely started filming, yet it's already igniting fierce debate among Jane Austen fans. The remake, led by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, has divided audiences after its full cast announcement sparked heated reactions online. The film, produced by Focus Features and Working Title, boasts a high-profile ensemble. George MacKay is stepping into the role of Edward Ferrars, Caitríona Balfe is playing Mrs. Dashwood, and Fiona Shaw will portray the chatty London socialite Mrs. Jennings. Frank Dillane, known for more brooding roles, is cast as the infamous John Willoughby, while Herbert Nordrum and Bodhi Rae Breathnach complete the core lineup as Colonel Brandon and Margaret Dashwood, respectively. Despite the star power, many Austen purists are voicing concern. Critics on social media argue the casting choices feel 'too modern' and claim the production is shaping up to be another overly stylized period drama rather than a faithful adaptation. 'It looks like they're going for edgy instead of elegant,' one Austen fan wrote on X, while others fear the chemistry between the leads might not hold up to the legacy of the beloved 1995 version. Adding to the skepticism is the creative team. While director Georgia Oakley has earned praise for Blue Jean, and screenwriter Diana Reid is a bestselling author, fans are still wary of how much creative liberty they might take. The internet discourse has been especially unforgiving, with 'Elinor' and 'Willoughby' trending across multiple platforms as fans dissect every casting detail. The film is only in production, but the court of public opinion is already in session. Whether the final product will win over skeptics or deepen the divide remains to be seen.

This Unexpected Hardware Trend Is Heating Up Summer Footwear
Sandals have long been the quintessential symbol of summer—effortlessly cool, breezy, and always at the ready to showcase that freshly painted pedi. And while classic leather slides and minimalist styles never go out of season, this summer's sandal trends are leaning in a new direction. Amid the renaissance of boho textures—suede, fringe, bold prints—a tougher element has made its way onto the scene: the stud. So, I'm breaking down the best studded sandals to shop now. The Best Studded Sandals Most commonly found on handbags or ballet flats, studs have turned the sandal into something a little sharper, a bit edgier. Designers like Khaite, Chloé, and Isabel Marant have all embraced the look on recent runways, proving that a few well-placed studs can shift a sandal from simple to show-stopper. Whether you're impartial to a structural clog sandal or more inclined toward that of a flashy peep-toe, here are thirteen studded pairs worth slipping into this season. Khaite's Boden sandals are a triple threat—chic, comfortable, and customizable with adjustable snap-fastening straps. Dress them down with flare-legged jeans or embrace the bohemian by styling them with a floaty dress. Sizes: 35-42 Colors: Natural, Black, Dark Tan These feature wide Velcro ankle straps and a supportive sole, offering a secure fit that's perfect for even the most heel-averse shoppers. Sizes: 5-12 Colors: Perfect Black, Camello While khaki yellow hasn't risen to fame by name, the subtle shade has penetrated the zeitgeist along with its fellow earth tones as of late. These platforms adopt the hue, adding a few inches and silver buckles for an oomph that you'll be hesitant to retire come summer's end. Sizes: 7-8.5 Colors: Khaki/Silver Simon Miller is often defined by maximalism, and this recent iteration of the iconic bubble slide is no exception. Plus, the pillowy build makes for the perfect cushioned style. Sizes: 5-11 Colors: Chestnut/Brass From burgundy tights to burgundy boots, this color dominated last fall. According to this year's swim trends, though, the flattering jewel tone isn't content to stay parked in the colder months. Case in point: this studded iteration of Isabel Marant's beloved Lennyo sandal, an effortless transition into summer styling. Sizes: 8-9 Colors: Burgundy, Black As the denim on denim trend powers on, I ask myself: Why stop at the hemline? A tasteful addition to any look, these studded mules offer a bit of retro glam in the form of a wooden wedge. Sizes: 36-41 Colors: Blue Jean Adorned with studs and suede paneling, these buckled sandals turned my head not only for their eye-catching details but for their affordable price tag, too. And is that arch support I see? Sizes: 6-11 Colors: Black Screen-printed with the logo signature of Miu Miu, this pair is the ideal statement sandal for those looking to add a little edge—or just a pop of color. Sizes: 34-43 Colors: Red, Begonia Pink, White, Black Seeking a more subtle incorporation of studs into your look? This strappy pair from Mango offers an understated hint of hardware. Sizes: 5-10 Colors: Black, Brown Imagine my glee at the resurgence of the flip-flop, aided by Gigi Hadid's Havaianas collaboration. If you're thinking about easing back into the timeless thong style, I recommend this studded pair from Madewell, outfitted with a buckled ankle strap. Colors: True Black, Cherry Wood, Tawny Khaki If you plan on hitting the beach clubs and rooftop bars this summer, consider this wooden heeled peep-toe pair to elevate every look. Colors: 6 options In the sculptural style signature of Alaïa, these buckled thong sandals offer all-over studs atop an eye-catching form. Colors: Brown As someone who admittedly does not fare well in a high heel, I am thankful that the kitten heel has made a fashionable comeback. This chic pair is the ideal pick for a dressed-up night spent dining al fresco. Sizes: 6-10 Colors: Black Every product featured on is independently researched, tested, or editor-approved.

Daisy Edgar-Jones to star in Sense and Sensibility
Daisy Edgar-Jones is to play Elinor Dashwood in a new film adaptation of Jane Austen's classic romantic novel Sense and Sensibility. The 1811 book tells the story of Dashwood sisters Elinor and Marianne and their once-wealthy family following the death of their father. Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean) will direct a script by author Diana Reid (Signs of Damage, Love & Virtue, Seeing Other People). No other casting details have been announced. Writing on her Instagram account, Australian author Reid said filming would begin in July. Entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter says Focus Features and Working Title Films are behind "the fresh take", having previously made the 2020 adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma and the 2005 adaptation of Austen's Pride & Prejudice. "It is astonishing that they trusted me with this novel, which means so much to so many people," wrote author Reid. Emma Thompson previously played Elinor in director Ang Lee's 1995 film of Sense and Sensibility, with Thompson winning an Oscar for her screenplay.
