MAIN COVER PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES. ADDITIONAL COVER PHOTOS: VANTAGE NEWS, GETTY IMAGES, INSTAGRAM/VICTORIABECKHAM, SHUTTERSTOCK. THIS PAGE: REUTERS, JASON LLOYD-EVANS, MARCO VITTUR, FOCUS FEATURES IT WAS WHEN I HIT MY THIRTIES that it became clear that having a baby – that thing I’d spent a decade trying not to do – wasn’t as simple as I’d thought. In fact, new research shows that in the UK one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage, 60,000 babies a year are born prematurely and we have one of the highest stillbirth rates in Europe. And yet, we still tend to be hesitant about talking about baby loss. That’s why I’m glad Grazia has been able to team up with Tommy’s charity this week, to highlight their research into stillbirth, miscarriage and premature births. I…

“The £250 ‘fertility drip’ flags a growing problem” Once the preserve of exhausted celebrities, vitamin IV drips are going mainstream – with one firm, Get A Drip, offering ‘antiageing’ and ‘mood-boost’ drips at shopping centres. Until last week, it also offered a £250 ‘fertility’ drip – prompting the British Pregnancy Advisory Service to state there was ‘no evidence’ it could improve fertility, and the company to withdraw it. Still, when would-be parents will pay thousands for proven treatments, such as IVF, the opportunity to cash in remains: the UK fertility market is valued at £320m. Let’s just remember this ‘market’ is made up of people. Businesses – and regulators – must not let their dearest hopes be exploited for profit.…

COCO FENNELL’S DOLLY DRESS Square neck, puff sleeve with an almost-maxi length. SAYING ‘TINK’ AND ‘TINGS’ An everyday tribute to the oeuvre of Maura Love Island . HAYLEY MENZIES’ HEADBANDS Easy way to make your laziest look seem fancy and pulled-together and cool. ‘NODDING’ New internet dating hideousness: when someone disappears – or ‘nods off’ – mid-messaging. ‘WFH’ Working from home. Marginally less smug than OOO. Marginally less credible too.…

PHOTOS: SPLASH NEWS, MEGA AGENCY, GOFF PHOTOS,VANTAGE NEWS, GETTY IMAGES, BACKGRID, SHUTTERSTOCK IF YOU LOOK at a Big Bird yellow tutu, a spandex unitard or a pair of asymmetrical jeans and think ‘Fun! But no sane person would willingly go out in that in real life’ then you and Celine Dion will probably never be friends. Because when we think ‘challenging’, the bold balladeer thinks ‘opportunity’. Over the past three years, couture week has become Celine’s own personal playground, where outré designer clothes are the toys. She’s the style equivalent of an ice-cream sundae: extravagant, ridiculous, and absolutely irresistible. Last week she served up yet another stellar performance, turning the streets of Paris into one great big photo op in out-there ensembles. There she was in a 3D-printed Iris Van…

‘At the 9 June protest, an estimated 1 million people [according to organisers Civil Human Rights Front] joined in but it was very peaceful. I protested because I think the extradition law is very unfair. I don’t want to live under threat without freedom. After that, things changed. The government said they respected Hong Kong people showing their opinions, but that they would continue the process and not withdraw the law. That’s why, on 16 June, around two million people – a quarter of Hong Kong’s population – came out. It’s no longer only about asking for the withdrawal of the extradition law; people are expressing anger and frustration against the government. By last week’s protests, the atmosphere was much darker; there have been reports that Samaritan Befrienders, a suicide…

It’s slap-bang In the middle of summer and a strange old time to go shopping. The sales are still in full swing, summer stock is depleted, but it’s far too warm and way too early to consider buying a coat yet (although we applaud your organisational skills if you have). But here’s the good news: there are ways to update your summer look without so much as stepping into a shop if you don’t feel inclined. We’ve been keeping a carefully trained eye on the street-stylers at Paris Couture Week and the revellers at Glastonbury, and have noticed several styling hacks that you can easily mimic using pieces already hanging in your wardrobe – think new way to wear, rather than new thing to wear. Take the coterie of influencers…

VITAMIN D IS POTENT. Just a hint of sun is all it takes for even the resolutely jeans-and-tee committed among us to embrace frills and florals, pastels and pom-poms. But where do you go if you want something special but have tastes that are more sleek than sweet? You turn to summer satin. Seen on the catwalks at Bottega Veneta, Burberry and Balenciaga, summer satin is glamorous, glossy and modern. It’s more grown up than lace; less garish than sequins. No wonder the A-list are loving it. Just look at Nicole Kidman in a hot pink Olivier Theyskens dress at the Toarima Film Festival last week, and Kate Moss rocking a languid silver shirt at the Dior menswear show. Or see Rihanna, sensational in a little satin dress that was…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES LAST WEEK, A Cambridge professor of philosophy announced that she’d cracked the perfect excuse: to cut any ice, it must be a combination of good intentions and circumstances beyond our control. The public-spirited Dr Paulina Sliwa revealed: ‘A successful excuse needs to make plausible that your intention really was morally adequate, but something beyond your control prevented you from translating it into action.’ Accordingly, ‘I have a migraine,’ ‘I haven’t slept for three weeks,’ or ‘A meteorite just pulverised my boyfriend’ will be just the ticket. However, anything that implies: ‘I just couldn’t resist’ is a no-no; which explains why my decades of: ‘Sorry, I just scored some sex’ messages have never gone down well. A few years ago, my appendix exploded – not a course of…

WHEN IT COMES to self-deprecating, bashful charm, the writer David Nicholls would give Four Weddings-era Hugh Grant a run for his money. His CV is quite something. Nicholls, 52, was the man behind the 2009 novel One Day, which has sold over five million copies worldwide and was for a long time visible in every train carriage and on every beach holiday. He’s also written for TV and film, including scripts for Cold Feet, a movie adaptation of One Day starring Anne Hathaway, and last year’s Benedict Cumberbatch mini-series Patrick Melrose. He is currently adapting his last book, the 2014 Man Booker Prize-longlisted Us, into a BBC series – and when I meet him, he’s just won a BAFTA for Patrick Melrose, and is preparing to publish his fifth novel,…

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I dreamed of being grown-up and having a ‘squad’. I didn’t call it that, of course – not until Taylor Swift starting mentioning hers at every opportunity a few years ago – but the idea was there, present in every Enid Blyton book I read and episode of Friends I watched. I knew that one day I’d have my girl gang, a group of people who would all hang out and go through life’s ups and downs together, a gaggle of friends who were as close as family with whom I’d have adventures. That’s just what happened, right? Turns out, no. I went through secondary school without finding my Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I didn’t then slot into a house-share of ready-made mates, like in…

GRACE HOLLIDAY AND HER MUM RECONNECTED ON A WEEKEND AWAY ‘EXCUSE ME, my notes say you’re a nervous flyer? How are you feeling so far?’ An air steward called Carl bobs down by my mum’s side a few minutes into our Thomas Cook flight to Palma de Mallorca. It’s our first mother/daughter weekend away since I got married three years ago, but not the first time I’ve held her clammy palm on a plane. Music in one ear and my inane chatter in the other helps somewhat, but she’d clearly rather be poolside with a prosecco by now. Carl offers to take us to meet the pilot and see the cockpit once we land, suggesting that this can help ground any fears (forgive the pun). Two hours later, we go…

PHOTO: MARCO VITTUR THIS TIME LAST SUMMER, I was finishing my first cookbook. I was a muddle of final thoughts on how things should look, taste and sound. My brain rushed all day and then continued all night. I’d wake up thinking, GORGONZOLA! Or, NEON GREEN! Or, MUSTN’T FORGET TO THANK THE DOG! I am very bad at compartmentalising, especially when I’m working from home, so I allowed these (in hindsight, not significant) thoughts to take over a bit, which meant little downtime for my mind. I wasn’t reading books and the only TV show I could handle was Love Island. But this was also the summer I finally learned to embrace tiny bits of time out. There was no holiday in my near future and I wasn’t anticipating a…

Catch up on… Divorce Dissatisfied suburban mum Frances’s fractured middle-aged marriage woes have proven too subtle for the mass market. But what Divorce misses in talking-point heat, it more than makes up for in beautiful, believable class. Now into season three, the upstate New York familial breakdown of Frances (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Robert (a brilliant Thomas Haden Church) never fails to satisfy. File under: massively underrated. MONDAYS,10PM, SKY ATLANTIC Watch live… LA’s Finest Jessica Alba and Gabrielle Union take centre stage in a gender-swap remake of Bad Boys.

AS TOLD TO HARRIET KEANPHOTO: GETTY IMAGES I’ve just moved to Brooklyn to be with my boyfriend [restaurateur Louis Lévy]; we’ve been doing long-distance for some time now, so I’m really happy that I see him more. Right now, we’re settling into where we’re living, doing a bit of antique shopping, just sussing out the place. The first thing I do when I get home is put on my silk pyjamas. Then I let my dogs out – Doctor Pepper, Gizmo and Edith, a rescue dog – and take them for a walk. Sometimes I’ll go for dinner at my boyfriend’s restaurant, Mimi’s, on Sullivan Street. It’s modern French cuisine with lots of fresh seasonal ingredients. I take my mum there sometimes. I also love to cook; I often make…

NOT GIRL’S GIRLS Could not agree more, Polly (My deep dark secret…, 8 July). I think I am not the first female in my family to feel like I did not get the memo regarding approved behaviour. Therefore, I find myself ill-equipped to help my daughters through the quagmire of hidden agendas possessed by girls at school. I just help them stay confident in the face of it. Phillipa THIS HAS TO STOP If this image doesn’t change Trump’s immigration policy, what will? (8 July) was harrowing to read. Thousands of applicants are seeking asylum in America, claiming persecution in their homelands. But fearing for your life is not enough. The biggest hurdle the migrants face is convincing an immigration judge that they belong to a particular social group that…

1. Up JOE KEERY Our favourite from Stranger Things, which just returned to Netflix. Combines a noble nature with obvious good looks, which works for us. 2. Non-mover SERENA WILLIAMS It’s Wimbledon, which can mean only about 17 things, our faves of which are: strawberries, plocking noises, royalty in the stands and Serena in a series of excellent outfits. 3. New in CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI OF MONACO Bride of the week, if you don’t count Sophie Turner or Zoë Kravitz. Looked terribly, terribly pretty in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. 4. Non-mover WINNIE HARLOW’S ABS A really exceptional showcasing of a distinctly exceptional abdominal situation going on here. Pink wool + ripped denim + honed abs = fire. 5.

IT MIGHT FEEL like it was just yesterday that David and Victoria Beckham exchanged vows (and sat on those infamous marriage thrones), yet it was, in fact, Posh and Becks’ 20th wedding anniversary last week. The couple celebrated with a romantic trip to Paris, including a private tour of the palace of Versailles. It came a few days after they’d been spotted dancing alongside the likes of Kate Moss, Stormzy, Miley Cyrus and The Killers at Glastonbury. It was a rather rare, fun and frivolous appearance for the couple who, at the end of last year, in the run-up to their milestone anniversary, were forced to deny persistent divorce rumours splashed in the tabloids. If their Glastonbury appearance is anything to go by, those rumours really are history. According to…

FASHION: LAURA ANTONIA JORDAN. PHOTOS: SHUTTERSTOCK, GETTY, AVALON LAST SATURDAY , in the Queen’s private chapel at Windsor, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex christened their first born son: two-month-old Archie. In direct contrast to their lavish public wedding, the ceremony was a small, closed affair with around 25 guests, thought to include Prince Charles and Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland, and no media or members of the public present. The royal couple agreed to release images from the christening – after the event. In the days running up to the ceremony, conducted by Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, they stated that the names of Archie’s godparents would also remain private. This marked a departure from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s stance – they invited the media to the christening…

Ginger signals she’s ready to call it quits – again THE SPICE GIRLS reunion tour might have been a big success, but it seems that Geri Horner isn’t too keen on setting up further dates. Hello, is this 1998 again? It was reported last week that, 21 years after quitting the band the first time around, Ginger is reluctant to sign up for proposed international dates that could take the girls to the US and Australia. GOOD NEWS WORTH CELEBRATING Word is that Lil Nas X was so overwhelmed by the reception he received while performing with Miley Cyrus at Glastonbury that it ‘inspired him’ to come out. The Old Town Road rapper – who has been No1 in the US for three months – tweeted his 1.86 million followers,…

Jade, 35, is a project manager from Pontefract My partner and I last had sex in the summer of 2016. It had been a really long time before that, but we were on holiday, in a hotel in Spain, so we had sex. Basic, not exactly fireworks sex, but sex nonetheless. Sam and I have been together for six years. I was 29 and he was 38 when we started dating. We moved in together within six months, which I suppose was quite quick. We had great sex at first – lots of exciting start-of-relationship sex. Then, 18 months in, we decided to buy a house – and from that moment, things started to deteriorate in the bedroom. At the time, we put it down to stress. I know sex…

YOUR 15-PAGE CATWALK GUIDE IF YOU WANT to know what the new trends are this autumn/winter – what you should be thinking about buying now these collections are dropping in-store, or how to re-style what’s already in your wardrobe – you need to know who’s most influential now. Because these days, more than ever, it’s not the mass collective but the individuals who push the needle that have the most impact on where fashion is heading. Look to them, the designer A-list – the most watched and most copied – and all becomes clear. So who are fashion’s greatest visionaries now? And what have they got in store for you? THE TASTEMAKERS If I were to predict the one show that will have most impact on affordable high-street brands, I’d…

VERSO: CULTBEAUTY.CO.UK THE SPIEL: For many of us, the mere whisper of lip filler is enough to conjure thoughts of trout pouts aplenty, deeming any form of lip enhancement a no-go for fear of looking obviously ‘done’. But now it seems there’s an emerging trend for notably more natural-looking lip filler; a backlash against the pillowed effect we’re accustomed to seeing on Instagram and reality TV. In the past year, Kylie Jenner – who sparked a surge in Millennials seeking enlarged lips over the past half a decade – revealed she’d started dissolving her formerly amped-up filler in favour of a more ‘natural’ look. Meanwhile, three of my friends have opted in for the…

It’s a small but beautiful and atmospheric city with the right balance of things to see and do. We stayed all-inclusive at Zafiro Palace Palmanova, with its fabulous Fizz bar, plus five restaurants and the Zen spa (from £205 for a junior suite; zafirohotels.com). When not by the pool or in the spa, we visted La Seu Cathedral, the towering sandstone building and the island capital’s emblem. From there, gaze at the reflections in the Parc de La Mar lake below. We wandered the Calatrava quarter with its cobbled streets and lovely little shops. We shopped ‘til we dropped around the iconic boulevard the Passeig des Born and the stylish hotel Jaime 111, and up towards Plaça Major, Palma’s main square. We flew direct with Thomas Cook Airlines from £39.99…

ASK THE EXPERT How to be an LGBTQ+ ally Amelia Abraham, journalist and author of Queer Intentions You may have noticed a bigger-than-usual show of LGBTQ+ solidarity in June (Pride month). Even the Ladbrokes on my way to work has been flying a rainbow flag. But this year, Pride was extra special; we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, when LGBTQ+ people fought back against police attempting to raid a New York gay bar in June 1969. Stonewall is the reason we have Pride: the first march in the UK marked its one-year anniversary. But while June was an important moment to pause and reflect, being an ally is about showing an interest in LGBTQ+ issues all year round. It can be frustrating when straight people come to…

KINDNESS IS KEY I cried with empathy and frustration at the ignorance of people as I read Cash Carraway’s feature (8 July). I found myself in a similar situation with a baby and nowhere to go due to a bad relationship. With the help of my family and a bursary that has now been scrapped, I trained to be a nurse while still living in poverty. Eating or heating! One thing I have learned is everyone is at risk of falling on hard times through no fault of their own. The hurtful judgements people express need to be replaced with compassion. Cash should have nothing but pride for getting through tough times with dignity and a happy little girl. Sarah Kelly…

PHOTOS: JOANNA BONGARD, ITV, GETTY IMAGES HAVE YOU HEARD OF WIFE GUY? You really should have, he’s terribly current, an internet confection that recently bled into real life during early rounds of the campaign to find the US Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential candidate, when no less than five of the 24 hopefuls responded to the question: who is your hero? by saying: ‘My wife,’ because, hey! Quadruple-whammy of humble, relatable, monogamous and feminist-lite-with-a-highly-electable-topnote-of-traditional-values, right there! Outside of the political arena, back in the realm of more general public consciousness: Wife Guy is the guy who adores his wife above all else – or at least, he says he does. He predicates his entire public profile on how incredibly great he thinks she is, how unworthy of her he believes himself…

Ever since the world started scrutinising everything Meghan Markle wears, she has largely stuck to a familiar formula: professional polish meets Californian ease. Following a handful of public appearances since giving birth, her style appears to have picked up where she left off. Silhouettes are tailored, colours neutral, heels high. She opts for clever designers – Wales Bonner for Archie’s debut, Stella McCartney for a baseball game in London, and her favourite, Givenchy’s Clare Waight Keller for the Trooping The Colour. They chime with the causes she wants to support: female empowerment and sustainability. But look closer and Meghan is dressing like her pre-duchess days. Compare this year’s Wimbledon outfit to 2018’s. Last year she wore a striped Ralph Lauren shirt, tucked into wide, too-long trousers. It was chic, sure,…

Hot on the heels of the game-changing women’s football World Cup, another sporting obsession is here to brighten your summer: the Vitality Netball World Cup, taking place in Liverpool from 12 to 21 July, with England, Scotland and Northern Ireland all taking part. Last year’s Commonwealth Games, in which England took gold, have taken the sport to a new level, says England player Geva Mentor (below) – widely regarded as the world’s best netball player. ‘Last year propelled netball forward in viewers and the number of people participating in the sport,’ she says. ‘I definitely think that this is going to be one of the toughest World Cups I’ve been involved in, because the exposure that so many nations had has increased the expertise of most teams. It’s not just…

‘There’s work to be done on transphobia in Parliament’ As Pride celebrations kick off around the UK, Conservative MP for Putney Justine Greening talks about coming out – and why she’s fighting for the Government to lead by example on LGBTQ+ rights… This week is always a special one for me, because London Pride was at the weekend and this year’s marks three years since I tweeted to say I was in a same-sex relationship. Coming out was the best thing I ever did. It’s exhausting keeping a massive part of yourself hidden away; no one should have to do that. That’s why Pride matters so much. I agonised for so long about whether to come out because I was stupidly worried about what people would say. But I’d tell…

PHOTO: STOCKSY lynnenright Follow London, United Kingdom ON INSTAGRAM, AFTER you’ve taken the perfect photo, cropped it and fltered it, after you have decided you are completely happy with how it looks – then comes the time for crafting a caption. You might decide that an insouciant emoji will suffice. You might stick to a rudimentary description. You might try and be funny. Or, increasingly, you might write a caption that has actual paragraphs and punctuation and runs to hundreds of words. Celebrities, influencers and normal people alike are realising the power of the Insta-essay. Captions, once far from the point, have become part and parcel of a successful Instagram post, with supersized ones reading more like blogs. Given that nobody actually blogs any more, these mini-essays are a way…

I LIKE A DRINK. ‘Shock horror, a well-being editor who promotes drinking?’ I genuinely think, while having a cocktail with a great friend may not be the best thing for your body, it’s way better for your soul than having a green juice. I also believe in a G&T at the end of a bonkers week. Unless you have a drink problem, I don’t think we have to sacrifice the odd cocktail in order to be healthy. That said, the world of wellness is spreading into every area of our lives, and there’s a growing trend for healthier alcoholic (and non-alcoholic options) that won’t derail our well-being plans. Since a large glass of wine is roughly 230 calories, a pint of beer 210 calories, and a pina colada around 400…

THE STRAIGHT SELL – if ‘straight’ is even close to the correct word here – of Drag SOS is a slice down the middle of Queer Eye and RuPaul’s Drag Race, the generational TV franchises that have turned once marginal cultures into the new mainstream. Five members of The Family Gorgeous, a whip-smart Manchester drag ensemble led by their erstwhile Drag Mother, Cheddar Gorgeous, travel in a superannuated Drag Wagon to the nooks and crannies of Great Britain. They pick three participants prepared to unleash their inner drag star. This week: Mark, a buff drill sergeant personal trainer; Fleur, an underconfident mum with a history of life-threatening tumours; and David, a 30-something who’s spent most of his life as his mum’s carer, are let loose on the drag bag. If…
