LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, you’d have been forgiven for being unfamiliar with the name Clare Waight Keller. All that changed on 19 May 2018 when, as Meghan Markle made her way up the steps of St George’s Chapel, Windsor, the artistic director of Givenchy was named as the designer of her wedding dress. But the story didn’t end there. In a rare interview with our fashion director Rebecca Lowthorpe, Clare talks about her bond with the duchess and how working on that rule-breaking gown marked the start of their friendship. She goes on to describe the person she thinks of when designing her collections: ‘A modern, strong woman. Someone who’s independent and confident, who travels, works, is passionate about the way they look and really has a strength of…

Celebrating a week of firsts “Last week, Nan Winton – the first woman to read the news on BBC television – died at the age of 93. In the same week, Rihanna launched her new Fenty label with LVMH, making her the first black woman to head up a fashion brand at the world’s largest luxury conglomerate. And Mati Diop made history as the first black female director to compete at Cannes for the prestigious Palme d’Or award. Together, these groundbreakers remind us how far women have come – and that many firsts remain to be achieved. Imagine what the future holds, considering the sensational women breaking on to the scene right now. We can’t wait to watch how they change the conversation, too.”…

IT WAS A RARE GLIMPSE into the private life of the Cambridges last week when William and Kate brought their children, George, Charlotte and Louis, to visit the garden co-designed by the duchess at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Formalities aside, the young royals charged around the shrubbery before taking off their shoes and socks to dangle their feet in the stream. According to royal insiders, William and Kate have a pact to give ‘good parenting an equal footing to royal duty’. ‘As much as possible, they’ll always make sure one of them is at home for teatime, bedtime, story-telling and bath time’, says Katie Nicholl, author of Kate: The Future Queen. ‘So, on Prince Louis’ birthday, William made a point of ensuring his flight was timed so that he…

ON YOUR MARKS, bargain hunters. Marking its 25th anniversary on the British high street, this month TK Maxx will open a new store on Oxford Street, boasting its largest ever fashion edit in the UK – including more than 2,500 pieces from the premium Gold Label line (aka where you’ll find the best designer steals). The opening goes against the grain of a tricky retail climate, which has seen many stores closing. Bargain hunting, it seems, is a guilty pleasure no more; it’s officially gone mainstream. Once upon a time, the clothes you wore – or the brands you wore – were a direct reflection of how fat your bank balance was. The It bags of the early noughties were totems of conspicuous consumption and that was all part of…

You don’t know what time it is. They don’t tell you the time or the date. It was really strange; sometimes I would sneak a look at the producers’ phones. You can’t talk about the outside world. They wanted to keep it isolated and organic. None of us knew anything. Brands are banned. I spent hours putting tape over my make-up to hide product names. You’re kept in a cabin before the show. I wasn’t allowed out of the cabin for 12 hours in case I saw another contestant. Saying hello? It can take four takes. Ellie [Brown] and I had to re-do our walk-in because we were so nervous. It was weird re-doing stuff – it felt so unnatural. There’s even a camera in the loo. There was a…

‘I worry politicians are talking the climate change talk now, but won’t follow with actions’ After a wave of climate action fever, Green MP Caroline Lucas hopes the passion for the environment won’t lose momentum “It’s so exciting that climate change has finally been pushed right up the political agenda, helped by [the Swedish climate activist] Greta Thunberg’s visit, Extinction Rebellion, the Youth Climate Strikes and David Attenborough’s documentaries. But I want to make sure this translates into real action. It was extraordinary how many people came to hear Greta speak: people stood at the back and sat in the aisles. All the climate strikers were outside on Parliament Square and there was this wonderful moment of feeling like the time had finally come for this idea. It’s so exciting…

PHOTOS: © CHANEL.CHANEL WATCH AND FINE JEWELLERY BOUTIQUE, 173NEW BOND STREET, LONDON W1S 4RF 020 7499 0005 ONE OF LIFE’S MOST infuriating inevitabilities: a perfect date will pass in the blink of an eye; a terrible one will feel like it drags on for days. Anyone who’s ever hit snooze in pursuit of that elusive ‘five more minutes’ or felt the painfully slow drip-drip of seconds during a particularly dull meeting will be comfortable with the assertion that time is the master of us all. The objectively subjective perception of time is something that fascinates Thomas Du Pré de Saint-Maur, Chanel’s head of global creative resources for the Fragrance & Beauty and Fine Jewellery & Watches divisions. ‘We all have the same super-subjective experience of time,’ says Thomas – excellent…

FEELING FUCHSIA ‘On Wednesdays, we wear pink.’ Little did Lindsay and Co. know, the most joyful way to elevate any ensemble is with a slick of fuchsia lipstick every day of the week. ‘If you’re daring enough to wear it, a really vivid, deep, hot pink works wonders on all skin tones,’ says Alex Babsky, make-up artist behind the looks you see here. And it’s a shade that matches Jourdan’s most prominent Leo trait: ‘I’m the life of the party!’ BERRY GOOD ‘A berry lipstick is one of the most versatile weapons to have in your make-up arsenal. Wear it opaque and neatly applied, as I did on Jourdan, or you can apply it with your fingers and blot off for a softer, “just-kissed” stain,’ says Alex of the notoriously…

PHOTO: GIANANDREA TRAINA. FOOD STYLING: NENA FOSTER (@NENA.FOSTER.FOOD) TECHNICAllY, we are not at the sweet golden peak of corn on the cob season. But we are at the sweet golden peak of the year, in my opinion, and if there is a better symbol for that than a resplendent corn on the cob, I do not know it. At this point in the year, we might feel like true summer is on its way – so close we can smell it. But in fact some of us are already barbecuing – getting a few in under the radar, we think, ‘before things really get going’. No, look here, things are going! This is it. A banger here, a slaw there, a whole bag of new potatoes smushed with mayonnaise. It’s…

Catch up on… What/If In her last throw of the dice before swapping Bridget Jones ubiquity for Judy Garland immortality, Renée Zellweger plays Anne Montgomery in this shameless mini-series which gender-swaps the old Indecent Proposal. Also includes a touch of Basic Instinct that’s heavy on the ‘basic’. Weirdly, it’s no less chilling fun for it. Netflix now Wallow in… Black Monday Several wolves of Wall Street are in for a time-honoured battering in this smart dramatic evocation of the late ’80s financial crash. Trusted hand Don Cheadle leads a great cast through timely power-dressing and the use of brickbat early mobile phone tech. There are no happy endings for this Trump-ish cash-fest. Not yet, anyhow.

KEEPING MUM Reading ‘Now I’ve begun IVF, I’m less scared of solo motherhood’ (27 May), I can understand why so many women are having IVF without a partner. My cousin realised 22 years ago that she was ready to be a mum, but after three failed relationships she hadn’t found Mr Right. She looked into IVF and was pleased to realise it was possible. She is now a proud mum, but still finds it upsetting to think of the challenges that existed then for many on the path to parenthood. Thankfully these days it’s easier. Name withheld SIZE MATTERS I enjoyed Perfect Denim (20 May) and feel readers’ pain. I got three pairs of jeans as a gift, all the same brand, style and size, just different shades. They all…

IN THE WEEK THE Alabama State Senate signed off on a bill that would prevent women having abortions any later than six weeks into pregnancy (a stage at which many of us, let’s face it, would be oblivious we even were pregnant) and Donald Trump inadvertently declared his abortion stance more pro-choice than Northern Ireland’s (tweeting that while he’s generally opposed to abortion, he grudgingly accepts it in cases of rape and incest; Northern Irish law, on the other hand, does not), the pro-abortion rights movement received a boost from an unexpected source. ‘I wanted to see if anyone from our industry would speak out about the [Alabama] abortion bill,’ tweeted Héctor Bellerín, the Spanish 24-year-old Arsenal right back, ‘but I guess people are too scared. This isn’t just an…

Not everyone has space to construct a duchess-approved garden. My 7ft by 7-and-a-bit-ft balcony doesn’t have room to swing a cat, let alone a rope swing like Kate’s. But since I moved in a year ago, the little patch of green I’ve created as a starter gardener has truly been my refuge. For those of us who sit in front of screens all day and night, the power of living things – and a bit of vitamin D – can’t be overestimated. If you’re tight on space, prioritise ‘useful’ plants. I brooded over my first ripening tomatoes and figs like an expectant mother, and I’ve saved a fortune on herbs by growing my own – though I don’t have the foggiest idea what to do with my kumquats, other than…

MAKING YOUR RED carpet debut as a couple, when you’re a celebrity, is a big moment. You’ve planned your outfits together and you’ve got your poses worked out: you are telling the world that you are serious. So it was unsurprising that when Brooklyn Beckham, 20, and his girlfriend Hana Cross, 22, stepped on to the carpet on the Croisette at Cannes Film Festival last week, marking their first official red carpet outing as a couple – and both matching in Salvatore Ferragamo – the waiting photographers could not get enough. With Hana and Brooklyn’s obvious propensity for a sensational red carpet moment, passion for fashion and cute Instagram posts – not to mention the fact that they are joined at the hip – there have been mutterings that the…

Boss babe PHOTOS: SHUTTERSTOCK, GETTY IMAGES FOR FENTY Trust BadGal Ri-Ri to do power dressing her way. At the launch of her Fenty fashion collection in Paris, she opted for a tailored blazer minidress, spiky shoes and an ‘own the room’ stance. By royal appointment Confirmation – courtesy of Dame H – that Loewe is officially the thinking woman’s go-to. The coolest take you’ll see on nautical stripes this summer. Frock waves The dilemma: you have a pretty summer dress but worry it will look twee. Take your cue from Natalia Vodianova and add a mannish blazer and box-fresh kicks. Co-ord calculus Matchy-matchy doesn’t have to mean safey-safey – seek out loud prints or add bold accessories. Let (from left) Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Iskra Lawrence be your inspo.…

PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK IT HAS TAKEN me nearly two years and a temporary relocation to LA, but I’ve done it. When I receive the notification, giddy with excitement, I’m on a hen do and blurt out, ‘I’m on the A-list dating app!’ The next morning, mildly mortified by my exuberance, I field enquiries as to what exactly this mysterious app is. ‘Amy Schumer met her husband on it,’ I explain. ‘I know someone who matched with Chandler from Friends !’ Never mind private members’ clubs and VIP wristbands. Finally, I’ve been accepted on to Raya. And, embarrassing as it might sound, I’m not alone in turning acceptance on this dating app into a personal achievement and status symbol. As my friend Tessa, 33, recalls, ‘It felt f*** king great! Totally…

Joely Walker, health & beauty director Fellow rose fragrance fanatics, you’re in luck. Because the latest rose-based perfumes to land on my desk exemplify exactly why rose and love historically go hand-in-hand (cue Juliet’s one-liner about Leo Di – sorry, Romeo). Some whimsical, some slightly rebellious, and all highly whiff-worthy – one is sure to be your type on paper. PHOTOS: GIANANDREA TRAINA. BY KILIAN: BYKILIAN.CO.UK.

Roasted garlic butter Once the garlic butter is melted over the hot cob, consider a last-minute flurry of finely grated Parmesan. INGREDIENTS Roasted garlic (cut the tops from one bulb, rub with olive oil and wrap in tin foil. Roast at 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4 for 40 minutes, then squeeze) 50g unsalted butter, softened ¼ tsp flaky salt Parmesan cheese (optional) Soy sauce butter This is an umami-packed wonder- butter whose genius won’t fully dawn on you until you take your first nibble. INGREDIENTS 50g unsalted butter, softened 2 small cloves of garlic, minced 1 tbsp light soy sauce 1 spring onion, finely chopped 1 tsp lemon juice Elote-style mayo Inspired by the street corns of Mexico City and a thrilling excuse to douse things with mayonnaise, this one is…

LET’S SPEAK UP It was refreshing to read about feelings other people have experienced in Embrace Your Inner Impostor (20 May). To be successful at work there is often pressure to play the corporate game, suppressing your real personality and pretending to be something else. It’s hardly surprising that this causes stress, anxiety and puts mental health at risk. In my senior corporate role, I try to meet expectations, yet I still worry what others think of me and feel inadequate. It’s unhealthy and has to stop. Let’s hope more speak up about how they really feel when faced with demanding situations at work, so we support each other instead of perpetuating this harmful cycle. Marie Crozier…

IT’S THE MOST successful show on ITV2, but the last two months have seen the tide of public opinion turn on the hugely popular series Love Island . First came calls for an overhaul of the reality dating show and its approach to the aftercare and psychological support of its young contestants. That followed the suicide of 26-year-old Mike Thalassitis, a contestant in 2017. It was thought that Mike had struggled with his role as the series ‘villain’ (he was known as ‘Muggy Mike’ well after the series had finished) as well as adjusting to life in the public eye. Then, two weeks ago, the ethics of reality television were called into question when 63-year-old Steven Dymond, who had recently filmed an episode of The Jeremy Kyle Show , killed…

PHOTO: BACKGRID TURNS OUT THERE’S more to being a Millennial Dad than growing a beard and calling your child ‘mate’. Last week, a report revealed that today’s dads are increasingly hands-on at home, but find resistance from employers when we try to tip the old work/life balance in the direction of ‘life’. The new survey of 2,000 British men aged 24 to 40 found nearly nine in 10 (87%) are now involved in ‘day-to-day’ parenting (cooking, collecting, wiping, etc). So no surprise, then, that nearly two-thirds (63%) had requested a change to their working patterns since becoming a father, such as a day working from home each week. But not many were successful. Of the 40% who had requested a change in working hours, nearly half (44%) had been turned…

CHLOë SEVIGNY IS a Cannes veteran. Since starting her acting career in films like Kids and Boys Don’t Cry , for which she was Oscar-nominated, premieres and parties have drawn her to the South of France. This year is no different: her new black comedy The Dead Don’t Die opened the festival, and White Echo , a short film she wrote and directed, was screened at the end of last week. I meet her somewhere in the middle of the two, as she launches a new, ethical collaboration with luxury brand Chopard. ‘I’m here for the long haul,’ she says, as we sit on the sun-drenched roof terrace of the Hotel Martinez, her head-to-toe in white Chanel. She is uncomfortably hot, but powering through. ‘I’m staying for 12 nights. So…

PHOTOGRAPH BEN QUINTON HAIR AND MAKE-UP: NEUSA NEVES AT TERRI MANDUCA EVEN WHEN THE obstetrician told me I would have to deliver my identical twins 10 weeks early, I could never have imagined that I would not be allowed to hold my babies the day they were born. I knew so little about prematurity. I was in my mid-thirties when I got pregnant and when, gelled probe on belly, the sonographer asked whether I had any twins in the family, I found myself laughing with joy and disbelief. Though carrying twins is inherently high risk, pregnancy made me feel young and strong – younger and stronger than I was, it turned out. At 29 weeks pregnant, for reasons that are still a mystery, I began to haemorrhage and needed an…

STORMzY’S HEADlININg Glastonbury. Skepta’s busy tweaking the album of the year. Dave is this season’s broadsheet darling, AJ Tracey a bona fide top 10 star and Slowthai’s stepping into the rave-punk icon slot left vacated by Keith Flint (RIP). In 2019, grime is still British pop’s strongest homegrown suit, the easiest (and often only) way for inner city kings to locate their crown. It’s one of our greatest creative sales exports. You may notice something amiss from this exuberant roll-call. Grime queens. Galdem Sugar is a massively likeable new constructed reality show that should source a proper star from its (Ms) dynamite cast. The introductory episode works as a publicity lightning bolt for fiery MCs Pre Wavy, C Cane, Laughta, Cassie Rytz and Madders Tiff and a much needed balance…

PHOTO: GOFFPHOTOS.COM I’m such a nomad, but I always make my hotel room feel like home. I’m really good at rearranging furniture and emptying minibar fridges to put baby bottles, little juice packs and my own snacks in there. After a day of filming Riviera in Antibes, my favourite thing is to swim in the sea. The villa where we film – which made me feel like I’m in The Great Gatsby – is right on the water, so as soon as I can get my hair wet, I go down to the cliffside and jump in the water. It’s a really nice way to end the day. I turn down offers to go for drinks after work – the cast have a WhatsApp group – because of my six-month-old…
