Table of contents for Issue 739 in Grazia

MY AIRPORT ROUTINE looks positively basic compared to Naomi Campbell (see page 23), but one thing I’ve always loved about going on holiday is stocking up on magazines to see me through the plane journey, poolside lounging – and beyond. I hope this week’s bumper holiday issue of Grazia will give you just that. We’ve picked out the last-minute buys you’ll want to have in your holiday wardrobe forever and summer beauty products for under £20. And if you’re over summer, don’t miss our pick of the designer pieces for next season. We’re off on holiday ourselves for a week, so the next issue will be on sale 6 August. In the meantime, visit graziadaily.co.uk. @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

“Sure, FaceApp is fun, but the real us is better” Chances are you spent last week gasping, screenshotting and sending your friends pictures of your face covered in wrinkles, with yellowing teeth, sporting a head of grey hair. That’s because we’ve all been obsessed with FaceApp’s ageing feature – even Prince George wasn’t spared (although the pictures doing the rounds only made him look 12 instead of six). The Grazia office was full of people cajoling, ‘Let’s see what you’ll look like!’ and there’s no doubt it’s fun – if a little unnerving. But instead of worrying about the wrinkles we’ll have in years to come, let’s FaceApp to the facts: it’s better to enjoy who we are today.…

PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK MEGHAN MARKLE may still be on maternity leave, but that didn’t stop her hugging Beyoncé and kick-starting a trend, all in the space of an evening. The duchess’s sheer-sleeved number by American designer Jason Wu (far right) was the perfect way to wear black this summer: its see-through panel of fabric flashing a little skin while giving the security of some coverage. Indeed, we’re saying it’s going to be big news this season. The street-style crowd have already flashed their way through Paris Couture Week. Olivia Palermo’s thigh-high Valentino mini printed with kissing statues came with a good four feet of translucent black lace attached to the hemline. The influencer Camila Coelho wore a peekaboo Elie Saab blouse – only the placket and collar were solid, the…

MARINA RINALDI WAS the great grandmother of Achille Maramotti, the founder and president of the Max Mara Group, one of Italy’s best-known, family-run, global fashion businesses. She was, by all accounts, an indomitable woman with an obsession for craftsmanship who ran a tailoring atelier in Reggio Emilia in the 1850s. Over two hundred years later, in 1980, the brand Marina Rinaldi was created in her name, to cater for women sized 12-28, with fashion-forward clothes for all occasions – a revolutionary idea at the time. ‘She must have been an incredible matriarch; I loved hearing all the stories and discovering all about her,’ ponders Roksanda Ilincic, the latest designer to collaborate with the Marina Rinaldi brand on its capsule project, a 20-piece collection that arrives in stores this week. Roksanda,…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES As A-List friendships go, the combination of Beyoncé and the Duchess of Sussex is about as major as they get. When Meghan walked up to the singer during the line-up at the London premiere of The Lion King last week, the pair hit it off immediately as Beyoncé greeted the duchess with the words ‘Hello, my princess.’ But this brief exchange was no accident; it marked the culmination of a long process to orchestrate a meeting. It’s no surprise that the two would want to meet. Meghan has been a fan of the singer for years – she used to post tributes on her now-deleted Instagram account – and has long thought of her as a dream dinner guest. But things moved up a notch in February,…

Things you only know if you’ve been a Love Islander… You never see us in the pool because we aren’t wearing our mics, so you wouldn’t be able to hear us chat. You’re only allowed one or two alcoholic drinks. You never see us eating lunch or dinner because that’s the Islanders’ time to chill. It’s not true that we get Saturdays off. You never know what time it is in the villa. You can get beauty treatments. During the day you can sleep on the day beds or bean bags – you’re not allowed to get into bed.…

Amid another week of growing tensions with Iran, Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry says we need to protect the Iran nuclear deal… ‘If we’re not careful, we could be dragged into a war with Iran’ “I’m worried about a potential war with Iran, which we could get dragged into if Donald Trump doesn’t watch the way he speaks. Trump often talks about tearing up the Iran nuclear deal (where Iran agreed they won’t develop a nuclear bomb if international sanctions against them are lifted). If things escalate, the worry is that the US could end up taking military action against Iran and, in the past, we’ve often got involved whenever the Americans go to war.

ASK THE EXPERT How to breathe better. Yes, really… Nicola Price, founder of training organisation Inspirational Breathing Most people breathe incorrectly. When I see a client, I ask them to put one hand on their belly and the other on their chest and take a breath in. If the hand on their chest moves first, they’re breathing incorrectly – through their shoulders rather than their diaphragm. The next step is retraining their breath. It’s a bit like going to the gym to retrain any muscle. If you lie flat, with your knees up, it releases the psoas (fight/flight) muscle. By putting a hot water bottle just below the navel, you start breathing through your diaphragm. It’s a matter of practice: it might take a month of you doing this every…

I thoroughly enjoyed the article by Dr Amy Blackstone, which really struck a chord with me as I feel I am constantly defending my choice of not having children. I am a teacher of over 10 years, volunteer environmentally at a local youth club and always look after younger family members. Her research is interesting as it raises the fact that there are more and more women making these choices. Sarah LESS IS MORE! Women who do it all are their own worst enemies (15 July) has really come at the right time for me. As a full-time headteacher and mother of two children and a dog, I’ve also taken on the role of cleaner, financial manager, diary organiser, taxi driver and travel agent and have goals to be ripped…

I WENT TO IBIZA for an article last week. If this sounds fab, it really wasn’t. I’m no fan of Europe’s premier floating poison pit. Ibiza: it’s like they took a lovely bit of Spain, turned it into my idea of hell, then kept making me go back for work. Seriously: clubs? In this day and age? And please don’t tell me: ‘But there are lovely bits of Ibiza!’ There are lovely bits of anywhere – no one should have to get on a plane and fly two-and-a-quarter hours to a foreign land in the hope you’ll maybe stumble over a part of it not yet spoiled by a cavernous sprawling techno club. I texted my editor from the airport on my way home. ‘I am never ever ever coming…

AS TOLD TO EIMEAR OOHAGAN. *NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. PHOTO (POSED BY MODEL): STOCKSY As the Government seeks to expand the definition of domestic abuse to include coercive and economic control, as well as violence, Kate* , 34, a survivor, explains why ‘invisible’ abuse must be brought out into the open…. THE GOVERNMENT’S FLAGSHIP Domestic Abuse Bill had its first reading in the Commons last week, marking the beginning of its passage through Parliament and – it is hoped – into law. Among measures to tackle abusers and help victims, it will introduce the first ever legal definition of domestic abuse to include controlling or coercive behaviour, and economic abuse, such as controlling money. As Victoria Atkins, Minister for Crime, Safeguarding and Vulnerability, put it, ‘The point of the definition…

While Beyoncé was the highlight of Meghan’s trip to The Lion King premiere, she also met singer Pharrell Williams. He applauded the duchess for being part of a union that holds such international significance. ‘They don’t make it easy,’ she replied candidly. Some criticised Meghan for complaining about her gilded life, assuming that she was referring to the public. But royal commentator Robert Jobson considered it a critique of her treatment by the press. ‘It is an unwise comment,’ he says. ‘The royal family tend to say what they want to say, and that can backfire: they don’t want to be seen as having a chip on their shoulder.’ Robert, however, is confident that Harry and Meghan’s strained relationship with the media will enjoy a renaissance when they take an…

KATE MIDDLETON IS the ultimate best behaviour dresser. Since marrying into the royal family eight years ago, she has always inhabited an impeccable, utterly appropriate wardrobe at every state banquet, every ribbon-cutting and every polo match. But while the Duchess of Cambridge never puts a (nude-shoe-shod) foot wrong, nor does she ever feel particularly right now. Except a shift is happening. Since returning from maternity leave in October, Kate has been embracing a slightly younger aesthetic, said to be a deliberate move on her part (a source told a US magazine that the mother of three reportedly ‘felt like she was in a bit of a style rut and thought she needed a little edge’). Consider the Gucci pussy-bow blouse she wore in March. Previously she would have chosen the…

WHAT DOES 50 LOOK LIKE? When you were a child, maybe you imagined it as some twilight state, possibly involving an armchair, probably involving Horlicks and definitely involving cats. Bedtime would be 9.30pm, Zara would be a stranger and alcohol would be off-menu because it would interfere with your meds. Maybe a sherry at Christmas. Just the one. That’s what I thought, anyway, until I hit 40 and realised how dumb I’d been. It’s one of the privileges of childhood that you can be hilariously wrong about things, and besides, no kid should be able to grasp what it means to be 50. Although these days, can anyone? You don’t need the anthropological aptitude of David Attenborough to deduce that 50 really doesn’t look like it used to. Thanks to…

MY DATING ADVENTURES began when I was ghosted by a man I nicknamed ‘Henley Boy’. I was 29 and had been wandering around grinning like a Cheshire cat after several successful dates with him, only to end up miserable when he cut contact. It was frustrating that a man I barely knew could have such an effect on me. I only had three months left of my twenties and decided I wasn’t going to spend them moping around. Instead, I wrote a Facebook post announcing: ‘I’m setting myself the challenge of going on 30 blind dates before my 30th.’ I’d never been on a blind date before and am notoriously picky, but asked my friends to set me up with some ‘nice, normal’ guys, ‘preferably over 25 to avoid the…

SEARCH FOR ‘fashion sustainability’ and it makes for grim reading. Second to oil, the fashion and textiles industry is the largest polluter in the world, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. Every stage in a garment’s life threatens the planet’s natural resources, from crop and fibre production, dyeing and finishing processes to manufacturing and distribution. If you were to buy a single T-shirt and a pair of jeans, it would take more than 20,000 litres of water to produce the 1kg of cotton required to make them. Add to that the impact of toxic chemicals found in pesticides, bleach and dyes. Consider the carbon footprint clocked up in the supply chain as the raw fibre is transported to be made into fabric, then shipped to the factory to be…

THE INTERIORS HUB Kate Butler @Habitat In Vietnam to see artisan makers, Kate Butler, head of product design at Habitat, went to a bar with her team. ‘On the table was a coaster; a tiny, little swatch of green, but the colour was stunning and we knew we wanted to do something with it,’ says Kate. The coaster turned out to be made from smashed-up Heineken bottles, the pieces of glass hand-mixed to create terrazzo. You can see this material when Habitat’s A/W 2019 collection goes live later this month – it’s the star of the Arianne console and table. ‘The table is brave, exciting and a bit quirky, and that’s what I want Habitat to be,’ says Kate. Having joined Habitat in 2013, Kate took on her current role…

In order to really live life, you must live. And that is rarely achieved without setbacks and cracks along the way. We often feel that we must remain new, unscathed, unscarred – but that would mean we never experience, never risk or be harmed ... and thus never grow. Don’t let what’s broken break you. Our toughest experiences may not, in fact, be barriers, but doorways to becoming our truest selves. Use your experiences as your jumping-off point. What we perceive as limitations have the potential to become our greatest strengths – far greater than when we were unbroken.…

THE CHOICE IS OURS Why I’m child-free not child-less (22 July) was very interesting. I’ve always wondered why women who choose not to be parents are often stigmatised as selfish and unfulfilled. It’s totally unfair. I have three children but my two sisters have chosen not to be parents. And I respect them for that. Children are lovely individuals but this in no way implies that being a parent is for everyone. Kids should be brought into the world if their parents really want them. Nobody has the right to say anything against their decision.…

PHOTOS: BACKGRID, GETTY IMAGES, SHUTTERSTOCK, INSTAGRAM/JODIEMCOMER ON 16 JULY, Jodie Comer jumped up a few rungs on the Hollywood ladder. The Liverpudlian actress, who rose to prominence through her role as the captivating assassin Villanelle in hit series Killing Eve, received an Emmy nomination – the world’s most highly sought-after awards for television – for her performance in the second series. The acclaim comes as the team behind her first major film – Free Guy, an action movie co-starring Ryan Reynolds – gave it a firm stamp of approval by scheduling it for a 3 July release next year. This slot, at the start of summer, is an act of faith in the film’s box office potential (for comparison, this year’s equivalent release was Spider-Man: Far From Home, which took…

PHOTOS: GOFFPHOTOS.COM, PLANET PHOTOS NOBODY WOULD BE foolhardy enough to dispute that Naomi Campbell is a goddess among humans. And she’s now conquered YouTube, too. Try, I dare you, to look away from the fascinating video she recently posted on her Naomi channel. Called ‘Naomi Campbell’s Airport Routine: Come Fly With Me’, in it, as she travels from France to Qatar, she shares the habits she’s developed as a jet-setting supermodel. She loves flying, she muses in her uniquely grand way: ‘I love being everywhere… but yet nowhere at the same time.’ We see her shopping at the airport, picking up mini Twixes, Haribo sweets and a magazine; so far, Naomi Campbell is all of us. But she’s also wearing silk Burberry pyjamas (trousers, £650; shirt, £790). And once she…

AS WE PREPARE for Amy Hart’s photo shoot, the former BA cabin crew turned series five’s breakout contestant is watching her Instagram followers soar up in real time. She went into the villa with just under 3,000; five weeks later, she’s just shy of one million. As we watch the numbers rise, David Walliams slides into her DMs. Amy has found herself very much in demand. I meet her just after she’s appeared on Good Morning Britain, where Piers Morgan declared her one of the only likeable Love Islanders ever to exist (‘I had him on one of my flights from Antigua, I was very nice to him,’ she says by way of explanation). The 27-year-old has already won over most of the six million viewers of the ITV2 reality…

IN A CAFÉ IN Donegal, Republic of Ireland, a GP walks in and looks around nervously. She spots me and suggests we sit outside, where no one can hear us talk. She’s been careful to keep our meeting a secret from her colleagues. What she’s here to discuss concerns a practice that’s perfectly legal, which she carries out each week at work. The GP, who we’ll call Elle* , explains she’s one of 335 GPs (out of 4,000 in the country) who have ‘opted in’ to provide abortion in Ireland since it was legalised last May. But she keeps this quiet. ‘If our practice was to attract publicity for being a centre where terminations are carried out, I’m not sure how some of our patients would view it,’ she says.…

PHOTO: GIANANDREA TRAINA I DIDN’T GO TO PARIS as an adult until 2013 and then I started going as often as I could. That you can reach lunch paradise for £59 on a comfortable train is a modern miracle people don’t talk about enough. These days, I have more favourite things in Paris than I do at home in London. Some destinations are for exploring and some are for working your way through a catalogue of faves until your soul is rebooted. I arrive at lunchtime and head straight to Chez Aline because I know it will make me feel good about my decisions without spoiling my dinner. It’s a little lunchbox of a place containing a deli counter and four bar stools. Sandwiches are served in yellow plastic baskets;…

I have two kids – a son who is two years old and a daughter who is three – so a typical day for me at home in Los Angeles is some kid stuff, meetings and then more kid stuff. When I get home, the first thing I do is take my shoes off. I love being barefoot so I never wear shoes at home. Then I have a little time before I put the kids to bed, so I usually cook. We’re all vegetarian so it’s a lot of rice, beans and vegetables. And I have an instant pot, which cooks things really fast. When I’m in a rush, I’ll do a pasta dish, like quinoa pasta or lentil pasta. We try to give our children a lot of…
