We’re entering an era where the ultimate status symbol isn’t a bag or a car; it’s glowing skin, strong posture, and a body that looks well cared for from the inside out. From celebrity routines to the rise of “stealth wealth” beauty, this week’s issue dives into why looking healthy has become the quietest (and loudest) flex of all, and how biology-first care is shaping the way we age.

Facelifts, tweakments, and “preventative ageing” are becoming everyday conversation; even among people barely in their thirties. With celebrities leading the charge and social media normalising extreme interventions, it’s harder than ever to know what’s healthy, what’s hype, and what actually supports ageing well. In this week’s issue, we explore the cultural shift, the pressure it creates, and how to navigate cosmetic choices with clarity, not comparison.
