This weekend is Christmas weekend, which means you get to spend three wonderful days in your pyjamas, in bed with some hot chocolate and a set of feel-good movies. Usually, I go through every Christmas movie ever made until my head hurts from all the snacks and screen time, but this year I wanted to switch things up a bit.
Instead of the typical festive films, I thought I’d explore some fabulous beauty movies with a hint of romance too. They’re the perfect way to add a little bit of style and glamour to your relaxed, three-day lounging.

Dive into the fast-paced world of high fashion in this iconic film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. It’s a tale of style, power, and transformation, perfect for anyone who loves the glamour of the fashion industry. You can watch it on Hotstar or Amazon Prime.
Princess Diaries 1
Starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews, this classic makeover movie is one of my absolute favs to rewatch during the festive season. A charming transformation story that is a delightful watch, combining teenage angst with the elegance of royalty. You can watch it on Hotstar.
