Oh no! Is Coachella going to be better than Glastonbury this year? What's hot (and not) this week

Going up!

The Gaga renaissance

Oh god, is Coachella going to be better than Glasto this year? I simply cannot see how Neil Young can top Lady Gaga.

Hot Soho summer

(Lucy Young)

Rumour has it City Hall might be securing a pedestrianised Soho for alfresco diners and drinks this summer. Couldn’t be more behind it.

Castle shopping

Ripley Castle, still for sale (Christie's)

Wannabe London leavers (with deep pockets) might look to North Yorkshire, where 14th-century Ripley Castle is on sale for £21 million. Half the price of a Chelsea Barracks penthouse, btw.

Studded goggles

Anya Hindmarch’s dive shop (Anya Hindmarch)

If there was ever an excuse to look suboptimal underwater, Anya Hindmarch has obliterated it with her “dive shop” — studded cat’s eye goggles are a clear winner.

Going down...

‘Sexy space ladies’

One small step backwards for womankind. Oscar de la Renta’s team created the spacesuits for Katy Perry and co; it’s a shame the goal was to put the “ass” in astronaut.

Metallic adidas trainers

(adidas)

Developing an allergy to the hundreds of thousands of mirrored silver trainers out in town. Not unique any more, unfortunately.

Novelty Easter eggs

(Cocoba)

Plenty to turn the stomach this month, starting with Domino’s garlic and herb chocolate creation and going up to Cocoba’s ridiculous 4kg offering. Sophisticated Lindt bunnies will do.

SNL UK

(Saturday Night Live)

News of Saturday Night Live’s UK spin-off was disconcerting enough before the original came for our Aimee Lou Wood. Unlikely to be a match.
