There’s an art to sipping champagne that these screen sirens have perfected. You must look glamorous, but bored. Elegant but blasé. As if you started every day in a gown with a glass of bubbly. We call it Champagne Ennui and here’s how it’s done. Read more
New Year’s Eve. Resolutions, top hats, tiaras, Auld Lang Syne, noisemakers and, of course, Champagne. It’s hard to imagine ringing in the New Year without a glass of bubbly.
