Ferragni’s case continued after allegations that she duped customers into thinking they were donating to the children’s Regina Margherita paediatric hospital after buying her branded Pandoro Christmas cakes in 2023—which she was fined nearly 1.1 million euros ($1.14 million USD) for. She was simultaneously charged with misleading customers in a similar situation involving branded Easter eggs, in which buyers thought their purchases contributed to the “I Bambini delle Fate” children’s charity.  Though she’s paid 1.2 million euros to settle the Easter egg case, the alleged fraud case is still set to go to trial on Sept. 23—with a guilty ruling potentially leading to 1-5 years in prison.

The musician opens up to journalist Alex Hawgood in her accompanying profile, delving into her Slimane shoot, eight new Grammy Awards nominations, and relationship to Lorde—whom she penned the viral “Girl, so confusing” remix with last summer.

“It brought us so much closer together,” XCX said. “People are people, and people are tricky sometimes, and relationships are confusing. There are so many different colors to the spectrum of friendship. To actually come out and talk about that was really powerful for both of us, especially since everything is so quick to be dramatized and twisted into something that it is not. She just wanted to go there. She had no ego.”
