Itâs December! And that means weâre wrapping everything (including presents) to see out another big year. Itâs official, the Oxford Dictionary has got the charisma, or the Rizz, as their Word of the Year would have it. Taylor Swift has been named TIME magâs Person of the Year, and Mariah has been knocked off the Christmas Tree by a fellow icon. Weâre stoked.
And as everyone wraps their Best Of lists for the year, Myf and Zan cast their pop culture eyes and ears back across our fave moments with the Bang Fam. From Bears to Barbie to Beckham, and letâs not forget Beyonce. We had microscopic handbags and big red boots. Kylie Padamâed her way into our hearts (again), and Gwyneth got rectal ozone therapy.
We all made sense of 2023 in the best way we knew how.
Herein lies the most cooked, inspiring, and memorable moments of the last 12 months. Enjoy.
