Not to be sold separately The Sunday Times Style 3 Meet the class of 2021 Three names we’ll all be talking about this year The director: Karena Evans She acts, she directs, she designs, she wins awards and … she’s 25. The Toronto-born actress and film-maker Karena Evans made her mark as the director behind some of Drake’s most Instagrammable music videos, including the star-studded Nice for What (filmed in part around Battersea power station), which now has more than 365 million views on YouTube. Last year she directed the debut episode of the critically acclaimed strip-club drama P-Valley, which The New Yorker listed as one of its top shows of 2020. And in 2021 she’ll direct the first two episodes of the highly anticipated (by us) Gossip Girl reboot. Issa Rae, Tiffany Haddish, Tracee Ellis Ross and Lena Waithe all follow her on Instagram (@karenaevans), and you should too. The musician: Ashnikko After getting her big break on (where else?) TikTok in 2019 with her song Stupid, Ashnikko is set to hit the mainstream in 2021. The cool singer/songwriter/rapper’s tour with fellow cool singer/songwriter/ rapper Doja Cat last March was cancelled, but she didn’t let a pandemic stop her progress. In June she released the track Cry with her style doppelganger Grimes. Born in North Carolina, Ashnikko (real name Ashton Casey) lived in Latvia for four years as a teenager before settling in London, and describes her sound as “angry, punk, hip-hop, sad-girl-feminist, bubblegum, poo-poo music”. Don’t let that deter you — it really is good. Think Harajuku street girl mixed with Lil’ Kim and St Vincent. Listen to her debut mixtape, out February 19. The actress: Rose Matafeo The 28-year-old comedian/writer Rose Matafeo is here to provide much- needed laughter in 2021. The New Zealander won the Edinburgh Best Comedy Show award in 2018 for Horndog (her one-woman stand-up show about love and sex that later had a stint in the West End and was shown on HBO Max), and now she is turning her attention to film with Baby Done, available to stream on digital platforms from Friday. She stars as wannabe-adventurer Zoe, who freaks out when she becomes pregnant, while her boyfriend, Tim (played by Matthew Lewis, aka Neville Longbottom), embraces the prospect of fatherhood. Keep an eye out too for her BBC Three/HBO Max comedy series, Starstruck, due this year, which follows the aftermath of a one-night stand with a film star. 4 The Sunday Times Style The Barometer Heating up Be your own Mystic Meg Every clichéd millennial worth their salt has ▲ GEORGE FOREMAN GRILLS a soft spot for astrology.

The Sunday Times Style 5 The good guide Edit Molly Haylor With sales soaring, denim is an easy – and affordable – way to get dressed in lockdown January, says Style’s editor Laura Atkinson Has there ever been a time when we’ve needed a good pair of jeans more? It’s now almost a year since we entered these strange times and the way we dress has evolved and fluctuated along the way. Sure, sweatpants were a novelty at first, but we are mostly still working from home, staring at a laptop in a garden shed/in a bedroom/on an ironing board, and the thrill of wearing an elasticated waist every day has worn thin. So step forward, denim. It’s not an all-time classic for no reason: dress it up with a shirt and heels if you are in work mode, go casual with a jumper and trainers if not. The right pair of jeans will flatter while being comfortable, an instant go-to for these endless days when work and home blends into one. Indeed, sales are up: Matchesfashion.com reports a 50 per cent increase over the past 12 months.

  • Sharon Walker Gives Bazaar the Lowdown on Everything You Need to Know About the Artist Beloved by Jude Law and Jonny Lee Miller, Nina Mae Fowler
    Portrait by Anthony Lycett Sharon Walker gives Bazaar the lowdown on everything you need to know about the artist beloved by Jude Law and Jonny Lee Miller, Nina Mae Fowler. There aren’t many artists beyond the YBA usual suspects that can command an A-List turnout quite like Nina Fowler’s hotly anticipated London show this week. That’s Right Mister, and How’s your Fairy Tale Coming Along? opens on Thursday, hosted by the Cob and Guts art collective at Camden’s Cob Gallery. Despite the fact that this is her first large-scale installation in her home city, Fowler has already wracked up an impressive following for her exquisitely drafted Golden Era Hollywood drawings. Jude Law loves her work; Jonny Lee Miller collects her drawings and Sharleen Spiteri is an even bigger fan. So who is this Shoreditch-based artist whom the Saatchi Gallery are currently promoting as ‘one to invest in’? Fowler grew up in North London’s Hampstead and partied at the Colony Rooms through her mid- twenties, making her less than the usual six degrees of separation from her Primrose Hill Set fans. Though perhaps more relevant, is her fascination with the “dark underbelly of stardom” inspired by stories from Kenneth Anger’s iconic expose, Hollywood Babylon, which likely struck a chord with her glittering clientele. “I love that era, because it still feels relevant to celebrities today,” says Fowler, “though then the actors had a much grander façade.” At the centre of her current exhibition, Fowler has created seven life-size cut-outs of Hollywood starlets, propped on replicas of studio ‘leaning boards’, the props routinely employed by the studios to prevent actresses from crumpling their clothes.
