Slam! Issue n° 34 of The Gentlewoman is fronted by Coco Gauff, the 22-year-old American champion reshaping women’s tennis. Two majors in, and with her game rebuilt from scratch, Coco is playing the best tennis of her life, resplendent in her signature kit and making sure the game’s Black pioneers are not forgotten. She’s a joy to behold, readers.

Joining Coco are the reunited Sugababes — Mutya, Keisha and Siobhán — who talk candidly about maintaining harmony; Autumn Durald Arkapaw, the first woman to win the Oscar for best cinematography, on shooting Sinners; and the architect Sophie Hicks on four decades of building for Chloé, Acne and herself. The oceanic pioneer Sylvia Earle, 91, shares tales of days and nights living underwater. Fashions-wise, colour-drenched knitwear takes to the South Downs, and rugged shearling and rubber pitch up for autumn.
