Bill Nighy Doesn’t Want to Be Mistaken for Someone Who Knows What to Do

Though Bill Nighy’s new podcast, ill-advised , is all about dishing thoughtful advice on the turmoils of others, that doesn’t mean he wants to be mistaken for someone who has it all figured out. This is one of the first things he told Chioma after arriving at the London podcast studio in a suit, a Smedley sweater he designed himself , and Church’s loafers. In honor of his podcast and the skillful advice he gave on British Vogue’s Agony Uncle video , we asked Bill to answer listener questions and break down the secret behind his signature style, which led to the shocking revelation that he has never worn trainers in his life (well — except on one specific occasion). Despite insisting he’s no advice expert, Bill still offers charming, genuinely helpful tips: how to get along with your in-laws over the holidays, a sweet way to propose to your partner, and a recommendation for a family-friendly film that adults and kids will love (hint: he stars in it!). Earlier in the show, Chloe shares details about next year’s Met Gala spring 2026 exhibition theme titled “Costume Art” , which was just announced Monday morning. Chioma recaps the GQ London Men of the Year event , where she wore a chic brown Aaron Esh suit and had a fun text conversation with Cynthia Erivo about her excitement for Wicked: For Good (which she plans to see this weekend!). Plus, a fun a recap of the 16 Arlington show from earlier this week where Lily Allen made her runway debut! The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
