Woman Linked to Chappell Roan Post—Unprepared for What Internet Does Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A small perfume business owner has shared her bewilderment after seeing a sudden spike in sales—she later discovered, to a cryptic Instagram post from pop star Chappell Roan. The owner, who runs Thin Wild Mercury (@thinwildmercury), posted a video asking for help solving the mystery of the unexpected sales boost. The TikTok quickly took off, amassing over 20,500 likes and 345,700 views. It all began when Roan posted on Instagram: "Will the girl who I just met at the perfume store please comment the perfume you recommended I wrote it down and just deleted it on accident. The word 'girl' was in the brand name & you said it smelled like lipstick. Thank you." Fans quickly swarmed the Hot to Go singer's post with one prevailing theory: she was talking about Girl of the Year, a scent by Thin Wild Mercury. As it turns out, the perfume's first note is—"lipstick." Still in the dark, the business owner was casually drinking a smoothie when her phone started blowing up with orders. She checked social media but couldn't immediately figure out what had triggered the sudden attention. "The shock I felt when someone dmed me a Chappell Roan post. It was insane. The way that her caption hit me when I read it was that she was in a perfume store chatting with somebody, and based off of what she was saying, they recommended something that she wasn't able to smell in the store and suggested perhaps my perfume," she explained. However, the mystery took a turn when debate erupted in the comments over whether the perfume in question was actually Girl of the Year or Good Girl by Carolina Herrera, which comes in a stiletto-shaped bottle. A TikTok user, @jessica_yk92, joined in, claiming to be the perfume store worker and saying the scent Roan was after was indeed Herrera's Good Girl. But shortly after, she admitted she was just joking. Chappell Roan attends the 67th GRAMMY Awards at Arena on February 02, 2025, in Los Angeles, California.

I wasn't expecting this comment to get this many likes as it did I was just having a laugh. Please forgive me @chappellroan and the fans. I hope the real girl does come forward and gets a lifetime supply I feel so bad." The scent debate didn't end there. TikTokers joined in with curiosity and commentary. "What does it mean to smell like 'lipstick'?" asked Madison. "It's just like a base cosmetic smell. if you'd ever smelled like unscented lotion it's similar lol," responded danisjustwatching. "It has to be Girl Of The Year! The lipstick note is addicting and came to mind immediately when I saw the post!" said Landon. Eventually, the mystery was solved. The Thin Wild Mercury owner revealed that the girl from the perfume store—named Maggie—had reached out directly and confirmed the story. She also commented on the original TikTok: "It was actually me, I told her about girl of the year at scent bar. Suggested she buy both sample sets and play around no idea it was her when I mentioned it. You deserve your flowers!" Maggie later followed up with an email with the subject line: "The Chappell Roan thing lol," explaining that she recommended Girl Of The Year after hearing the pop star was looking for a "lip scented perfume." She confessed she didn't recognize Roan at the time—she doesn't listen to her music—but her friend realized it was the singer after spotting her tattoos as they left the shop. "So this is a cool story, but Chappell Roan has not smelled my perfume yet. She's just intrigued by it and interested in trying it out, so hopefully she does," the business owner concluded. TikTok users rallied in support of the brand and the moment: "Aww Maggie seems so sweet, I hope you'll send her the Laurel Canyon she's on the hunt for!" said Laura. "Omg so happy for you! you totally deserve the hype!!!" commented @spacegirlamber. "LOVE this for you," added @Elliescent.

Chappell Roan Looks Stunning (And Unrecognizable) With a Brand-New Hair Color
Chappell Roan isn't one to play it safe with her beauty looks. From her drag-inspired award show makeup to her signature deep-red curls, the singer's aesthetic has been built around going all-out with her glam. So when I spotted her latest Instagram post, I audibly gasped. Her hair? Stick-straight. The color? A soft, creamy orange. The 27-year-old pop star debuted the hair look in a casual selfie dump (relatable). Which, by the way, was posted not for a hair reveal, but because she was on the hunt for a mystery perfume. 'Will the girl who I just met at the perfume store please comment the perfume you recommended,' she wrote in the caption. 'I wrote it down and just deleted it on accident. The word 'girl' was in the brand name & you said it smelled like lipstick. Thank you.' The internet's beauty sleuths (aka, the comment section) came through with some guesses. They basically reached the verdict that the scent in question is Thin Wild Mercury's Girl of The Year, a few others suggested it's Carolina Herrera's iconic Good Girl. Whatever the scent is, I'm still fully fixated on Chappell's hair. The color is giving elevated ginger with a creamsicle twist, and it's the sleek styling that really changes up Chappell's vibe. She has never shied away from big, bold curls, so this switch-up feels like her soft-launching a new era—maybe even new music? Fingers crossed because while "The Giver" has been on loop for months, I need more. Now, is it a wig? Maybe. But I hope not. So Chappell, if you're reading this: I love the look. And also… I need to know which hair straightener you used. Tyvm! You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try

Miranda July and Elizabeth Strout shortlisted for the Women's prize for fiction
American writers Miranda July and Elizabeth Strout have been shortlisted for the 30th Women's prize for fiction alongside four debut authors. The six titles in contention for the £30,000 prize all draw on 'the importance of human connection' in different ways, said writer and judging chair Kit de Waal. 'What is surprising and refreshing is to see so much humour, nuance and lightness employed by these novelists to shed light on challenging concepts.' Good Girl by Aria Aber (Bloomsbury) All Fours by Miranda July (Canongate) The Persians by Sanam Mahloudji (4th Estate) Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout (Viking) The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden (Viking) Fundamentally by Nussaibah Younis (Weidenfeld) July was selected for All Fours, which follows a 45-year-old artist who sets out on a road trip across the US but decides to check into a motel room close to home instead, where she begins a sexless affair with a younger man. The novel was described as 'acerbically clever, radically compassionate', in a Guardian review by Lara Feigel. Strout – who has previously been longlisted four times and shortlisted twice – was this time chosen for Tell Me Everything, in which characters from her previous novels, Olive Kitteridge and Lucy Barton, meet. Writing in the Guardian, Elizabeth Lowry described the novel as 'taciturn but deeply felt and profoundly intelligent'. Dutch writer Yael van der Wouden's debut novel The Safekeep, which was shortlisted for last year's Booker prize, has also won over the Women's prize judges. Van der Wouden's family drama set in postwar Netherlands was praised by Guardian reviewer Rachel Seiffert for the way the author 'creates and sustains atmospheres deftly, and ultimately delivers a thrilling story'. Nussaibah Younis was shortlisted for Fundamentally, about an academic who accepts a UN job in Iraq and is tasked with rehabilitating Isis women. 'Younis tackles radicalism and racism, faith and friendship, with dexterity, deep care and a large dose of laughter', wrote Sana Goyal in her Guardian review. Aria Aber made the list for Good Girl, a coming-of-age story following Nila, a daughter of Afghan refugees growing up in Berlin. 'Good Girl is a must-read about the complexities of Afghan sexuality, family, shame, poverty and power,' wrote Dina Nayeri in the Guardian. Completing the shortlist is The Persians by Sanam Mahloudji, a multigenerational story of five women from a once-illustrious Iranian family. 'Mahloudji writes with a wisdom and confidence rarely seen in a debut, and her sharp observations are humorous and poignant,' wrote Joanna Cannon in her Guardian review. Sign up to Bookmarks Discover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews, interviews and news stories. Literary delights delivered direct to you after newsletter promotion One of the best-known writers on the longlist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie did not make this year's shortlist for her novel Dream Count. She was shortlisted for all three of her previous novels and won both the 2007 prize and the 25th anniversary 'winner of winners' award in 2020. Other longlisted books were The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley, Somewhere Else by Jenni Daiches, Amma by Saraid de Silva, Crooked Seeds by Karen Jennings, The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami, Nesting by Roisín O'Donnell, A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike, Birding by Rose Ruane and The Artist by Lucy Steeds. De Waal whittled down the longlist with the help of novelist Diana Evans, journalists Bryony Gordon and Deborah Joseph, and composer Amelia Warner. This year's prize was open to novels written in English and published in the UK between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025. The winner will be announced on 12 June alongside the winner of its sister award, the Women's prize for nonfiction. Previous winners of the fiction prize include Zadie Smith, Ali Smith and Maggie O'Farrell. Last year, VV Ganeshananthan won for Brotherless Night.
