In partnership with A24.
If you identify as the female equivalent of a “film bro” – you know, the girl who streams film scores at work and makes it her mission to get tickets to every A24 release – then Babygirl has been on your radar for a while now. But if it’s not? Don’t worry, we’re about to put you onto your next obsession. (Sorry, Cynthia and Ariana, but we’re holding space for Babygirl now.)
Nicole Kidman stars as Romy, a CEO who finds herself caught up in a dangerous (and, let’s be honest, dangerously hot) game of seduction with her intern Samuel, played by zillennial heartthrob Harris Dickinson. Despite having a husband and two daughters at home, Romy just can’t resist Samuel’s charm – which includes calling her a “good girl” and having her lap milk off a plate. Before you judge, remember: we come to Babygirl for the magic, not to kink shame.
Nicole delivers one of her best performances as a complex, tortured, and impeccably dressed high-powered CEO. The second the credits roll, everyone in your group chat will be plotting ways to channel Romy’s powerful yet unhinged energy. To make their (and your) lives easier, we’ve put together the ultimate gift guide for all the Romys and Romy wannabes in your life.
The Bellesa KeyVibe Secret Panty Vibrator
Because the only thing hotter than an office affair is knowing your secret lover has the remote during a painfully long Zoom meeting about quarterly projections. (Whatever that means.)
Fleur de Mal Silk & Lace Mini Slip
For when your “business trip” itinerary includes spreadsheets by day and a significantly younger intern by night. Perfect for slipping under a trench coat when discretion isn’t just recommended, it’s mandatory.
Quince Tie Neck Blouse
Every corporate woman needs a pussy bow top in every color of the rainbow, I don’t make the rules.
Brooklinen Dreamweave Waffle Robe
A robe that says, “I may be emotionally unraveling, but at least I’m doing it luxuriously.” Perfect for lounging on a sultry weekend getaway while your partner dances topless to a George Michael song.
Wilfred Nora Ponte Skirt
Nothing says office siren quite like a pencil skirt. It’s seriously the unofficial uniform of the office femme fatale.
Nathalie Lete Helena Apron
When you want to cosplay as a perfect suburban mom who definitely isn’t stepping out on her husband. It’s all about appearances, babe. Plus, it’s cute enough to distract from the fact that you only use your oven for reheating takeout.
Tahari Belted Wing-Collar Wrap Coat
Throw it on to stomp into the office, out of a happy hour, or straight into the arms of a morally questionable decision. It’s functional and fabulous.
Korres Black Pine Primus 6xHA Wrinkle Smoothing Youth Activator
Dating a man half your age is fun, but it doesn’t come wrinkle-free. Keep your skin as smooth as your office affair secrets with this serum.
Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick
To be applied liberally before boardroom meetings and clandestine rendezvous alike.
Sam Edelman Hazel Pointed Toe Pump
A classic pair of heels for both standing on business and standing ten toes down on being a good girl.
Audio Erotica Subscription
Because sometimes your commute to work is the only time you can indulge in fantasies that aren’t your intern. Pop in some headphones, and let the sultry voices distract you from the fact that you’ve got two missed calls from your husband. Our favorites are Quinn and Dipsea.
Mejuri Puffy Charlotte Pearl Drop Earring
Elegant enough for the office, but understated enough for after-hours clubbing in Bushwick. And unlike hoops, these earrings won’t complicate any extracurricular moments.
The Ripped Bodice’s Blind Date With a Book
For the nights when your younger man is “busy” and you can’t risk texting him first (power dynamics, babe). Let fate (and some excellent romance curators) set you up with a story that’s just as steamy and scandalous as your own Babygirl energy.
