In this episode of New Chapters, MTV host, fashion journalist, and entrepreneur Louise Roe shares her story of ambition, glamour, and reinvention. From interviewing Julia Roberts in Monaco to hosting MTV’s Plain Jane and walking countless red carpets, Louise opens up about the adrenaline and hustle of her Hollywood years.
She reflects on what it really takes to “make it” in LA - from rejection and reputation to seizing every opportunity - and the unforgettable moment when Julia Roberts’ team personally requested her for an interview.
But Louise also reveals why she felt her LA chapter was coming to a close: the pull of family, culture, and a quieter life back in England. That pivot sparked the creation of @sharlandengland, her timeless homewares brand now proudly stocked at Liberty London.
In this conversation, she talks about swapping heels for antiques, why passion and aesthetics never go out of style, and how following your instincts can lead to something lasting. Louise also shares what she’s learned about resilience, running a business, and building a life that truly nourishes you.
This is an episode about glamour, grit, and growth — and why sometimes the boldest moves are the quietest ones.
