Are AI relationship apps changing how we love?

4 days ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

In the 2013 film Her, Joaquin Phoenix’s character falls in love with his AI operating system—a relationship so tender and convincingly reciprocal, it felt like science fiction’s answer to heartbreak. A decade later, that fantasy is no longer fiction. Across social media and app stores, AI relationship apps are quietly becoming a digital support system: designed to validate, flirt, soothe and simulate intimacy on demand.
So stark beeinflusst der KI-Schönheitsfilter die modernen Beauty-Einflüsse

KI-Schönheitsfilter: Wie sie beeinflussen, wie wir uns selbst sehen. Vor geraumer Zeit lud ich ein paar Apps herunter, die mithilfe künstlicher Intelligenz Gesichter verändern. Es waren jene typischen Anwendungen, bei denen das eigene Spiegelbild in Echtzeit über die Smartphone-Frontkamera subtil modelliert wird. Es war spät, ich war gelangweilt, also spielte ich vielleicht zehn Minuten lang mit kleinen Anpassungen herum. Dann tippte ich auf "Vorher/Nachher". Das Ergebnis war ernüchternd.
A Golden Thread: How Turmeric Binds Indian Weddings Across the Generations

2 weeks ago | vogue.com | Sara Hussain

In India, turmeric doesn’t begin with symbolism. It begins in the kitchen: sometimes pulled from a packet, sometimes crushed fresh using a mortar and pestle into a thick yellow paste. It stains fingertips, simmers in milk, soothes wounds. It is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. A pantry staple. A home remedy. A humble beautifier. But in weddings, turmeric transforms.

Low-Cost Airlines To Introduce Standing Seats From 2026 For More Passengers; Internet Drops Indian Local Train MemesSeveral low-cost airlines are considering standing-only seats for shorter flights in 2026. The seating will feature a bicycle-style padded seat that allows the flyers to lean on it and not exactly settle their derriere on a comfy cushion. The standing seats will allow for more space and thereby more …
I let Dior Capture rewrite my skin’s rhythm-here’s what changed

2 weeks ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

I don’t expect miracles from skincare. What I want is reliability. Formulas that don’t overpromise or underdeliver. Textures that know when to show up—and when to step aside. But there’s something about Dior. The name alone evokes satin sheets and slow mornings. So when the newly relaunched Dior Capture range landed at the Vogue Beauty Lab (also known as my desk), all sleek silver bottles with four decades of skin science behind it, I approached it with curiosity not blind faith.
Micro-spicules in skincare promise glow, collagen and microneedling in a bottle. But do they deliver?

2 weeks ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

Once the domain of dermatologists and sterile clinics, microneedling has moved onto bathroom shelves. Beauty brands are now bottling the logic of the procedure, using micro-spicules that promise similar skin benefits, without the downtime. These tiny, marine-derived crystals are designed to create micro-channels in the skin’s surface, enhancing product absorption, improving texture, and nudging the skin into renewal mode. But is the sting worth the science?
7 tiny habits that promote longevity (no cryo-chambers or IV drips required)

3 weeks ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

We’ve seen longevity habits get hijacked by extremes: IV bags laced with NAD+, cryo-tanks blasting -110°C air, and supplement stacks with branding slicker than your moisturiser. But beneath the noise are quieter, more democratic truths: predictors of long-term health can be surprisingly mundane. Small, daily behaviours—done consistently—can help recalibrate how your body ages at a cellular level.
The quiet ways AI face apps and cosmetic ‘tweakments’ are rewiring our brains

3 weeks ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

I downloaded a few AI face apps. The kind that opens your front-facing camera and lets you tweak as you go, subtly sculpting the contours of your face in real time. It was late. I was bored. I spent maybe 10 minutes making minor adjustments. And then I pressed the ‘before/after’ button. The original looked… hollow. Like something had been subtracted. Like I hadn’t realised I was unfinished until I saw what AI thought I could be. It’s been two years since those 10 minutes and I still think about it.
Could Your High-Protein Diet Ruin Your Gut?

3 weeks ago | vogue.com | Sara Hussain

We are living in the age of the high-protein diet. It’s in everything—supercharged coffee, high-performance snack bars, even hidden in popcorn. Social feeds are thick with 100-grams-per-day declarations, but somewhere along the way, carbs became the villain of the wellness story. For some, what started as a clinical macronutrient has morphed into a personality trait—and a slightly obsessive one.
What to buy to get the ‘glazed blush’ look without looking like a disco ball

3 weeks ago | vogue.in | Sara Hussain

There’s a fine line between radiance and reflectivity, and somewhere along that tightrope walks the glazed blush look which started trending in 2024 and has refused to give up its crown. It’s not just dewy skin. It’s not just flushed cheeks. It’s the illusion of a soft sheen blooming from beneath your skin, like you’ve just emerged from a steamy bath in an expensive ryokan, cheeks kissed by heat, spirit calmed by ceremony. The problem is that in the wrong hands, the glow can tip into chaos.
