Inhaltsverzeichnis für Issue 751 in Grazia

ONE OF THE thrills of shopping is surely rifling the rails of your favourite high street store, only to discover the kind of standout hit that’ll make you feel good every time you pull it out of your wardrobe. The only problem is, how often do you have the time required to sift through everything on the high street? Well, in this week’s issue we’ve done the hard work for you. Our fashion team has spent hours picking out the very best buys from your favourite shops – ones that will look individual and last. Enjoy! @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

“We all know the career drill: work like a dog, try to move your way up and then, if you’re a woman, bump your head on the glass ceiling at the top... Except a new Women in the Workplace study by Lean In and McKinsey & Co has found that we should be focusing on who is managing to make it that far in the first place. They say a broken bottom rung of the corporate ladder is the biggest obstacle in our way – and means many women don’t even get to start climbing it. We’re never going to be able to change the system and make it fairer if we’re focusing on the wrong bit.”…

PHOTOS: GETTY, INSTAGRAM/JENNIFERANISTON NO MATTER HOW hard we wished for a reunion, the last time we saw Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross and Joey in one place was on the final episode of Friends in 2004. Until last week. On 15 October, Jennifer Aniston uploaded a selfie with the cast, publicly reunited for the first time in 15 years, with the caption ‘And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too.HI INSTAGRAM’. It wasn’t just that long-anticipated photo that got everyone in a tizz, though. It was the fact that Jennifer Aniston has finally joined the 2.8 billion of us on social media – after years of resistance. Within five hours she became the fastest person to ever reach a million followers, and her first photo had nine million likes within 24 hours.…

PHOTOS:JASON LLOYD-EVANS, SHUTTERSTOCK, BACKGRID FIRST IT WAS the football scarf, then Gareth Southgate’s waistcoat. Now sporting fans, with a flair for fashion, are making room in their wardrobes for a new obsession – the rugby shirt. You might think this is solely down to the current World Cup, which had to postpone some matches in the wake of Japan’s Typhoon Hagibis, but the fashion pack have been paid-up members of the rugby shirt club after seeing stripes and collars on the catwalks in February. Alexander Wang’s short-sleeved version came in Dennis The Menace colours, while Hussein Chalayan elongated his navy-and-burgundy shirt into a dress that stretched to the mid-calf. Riccardo Tisci put his own spin on the rugby shirt at Burberry, splicing two together, one red-and-black, one green-and-blue, to make…

Check out this biker babe “The picnic blanket checks, the neon shoes, the Balenciaga bag in basket – it’s a hat trick of loveliness from our favourite cyclist Tracee Ellis Ross.” It’s all black and white for Rihanna No one does day-to-night like RiRi.

MONIKH DALE HIGH-STREET PICK: TROUSERS, £195, TOPSHOP Monikh is an influencer and stylist with a windowsill of artfully placed designer shoes – Saint Laurent spaghetti-strap sandals, Jil Sander platforms, Ganni knee-highs – and a wardrobe of cult pieces by Isabel Marant, Rejina Pyo, JW Anderson, Loewe and Saks Potts. ‘I’m a huge believer in investment pieces, like a good jacket and a good bag,’ she says. When she spied a pair of expensive-looking snake-print leather trousers by Topshop, she couldn’t believe they were high street. ‘I’m intrigued by the different ways I can style them. I love this look with the big Cecilie Bahnsen blouse and the ’70s heels to go out-out [pictured]. If I’m just going to a bar and it’s a bit more casual, I’ll wear them with…

BLESSED WITH A FEW minutes to spare? Pop the hashtag #beautyfridge into your Instagram search bar and prepare to marvel as myriad uber-styled images spring up of doll-sized refrigerators brimming with the most Gram-worthy products (even, inexplicably, a candle). It seems the mini-fridge has evolved from student booze caddy to ultimate grooming must-have. But while the beauty-fridge bandwagon is speeding through social media faster than the cork out of their investors’ bottles of Bolly, is there any substance behind the hype? FAD ALERT Paula’s Choice Skincare founder and self-proclaimed ‘cosmetics cop’ Paula Begoun is quick to dismiss talk of the benefits. ‘Keeping your skincare in a beauty fridge isn’t beneficial in the slightest,’ she scoffs. ‘In fact, it’s terrible for the product as it has the reverse effect: compromising and…

SKATE AT SOMERSET HOUSE with Fortnum & Mason returns this November for its 20th anniversary, and Grazia readers have the opportunity to be among the very first on the ice. One of London’s favourite winter experiences, it heralds the start of the festive period – and Grazia is offering you and a friend the chance to enjoy an exclusive free reader event on the beautiful ice rink before it opens to the public.

Make sure you check out all the special events when the rink opens to…

HALFWAY THROUGH THE first season of Pose, I had a rush of TV blood to the head. An ensemble cast of predominantly BAME and LGBTQ emerging stars defiantly foregrounded in a US network drama was revolutionary. Through the intimacies of star-crossed teen lovers Ricky and Damon, trans streetwalker Angel, Shakespearean dominatrix Elektra, garrulous MC Pray Tell and kindly House Mother Blanca, the tale of New York’s ballroom culture was sketched. Yet the Vogue Balls of its set-pieces began to look like a smokescreen. Pose’s true motive is to recount the tragedy of AIDS in America, one dance step at a time. Their astonishing tales are told with campy flourishes borrowed from Dynasty, Fame and Sex And The City, before subtly jumping back in a moment’s repose to the health pandemic…

Make It Happen: Manifest The Life Of Your Dreams by Jordanna Levin You can be empowered to achieve anything by learning to manifest it. Manifesting self-love should be your top priority. A high level of self-worth will drive your ability to manifest money, love, career and happiness. When it comes to love, focus on radiating authenticity; this will ensure you end up in the same room as people on your wavelength. Manifesting your ideal career comes down to believing that you can and that you’re worthy. Address any limiting beliefs that may be preventing you from fulfilling your career goals. Once you begin manifesting in one area, the ripple effect will positively impact everything you do.…

SO SAD FOR NAZANIN I’ve followed Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s story over the past three years and cried reading your update (‘Our daughter is asking: “Why hasn’t Mummy come home with me?”’, 21 Oct). I have a daughter a similar age to Gabriella. I simply can’t imagine the pain that Nazanin and husband Richard continue to live through. The gaffes Boris Johnson has made, for which she has suffered, and his empty promises anger me. I feel powerless to help a woman I have never met, but her story touches me. I hope she will be granted the freedom she deserves. Thank you for the coverage; awareness is so important. Clare Bowen SEXUAL NOT SLUTTY Let’s stop the slut-shaming (21 Oct) got my vote. As did Miley Cyrus, with her impassioned tweet…

A TRUSTED SOURCE (the internet) informs me that Jamie Vardy, husband of Rebekah, has just this minute unfollowed Wayne Rooney, husband of Coleen, on social media: a thoroughly modern expression of marital solidarity engendered by a ground zero event I’m calling ‘The WAGruption™’(you’re welcome). You know exactly of what I speak, but I’ll recap anyway, because it is just such fun! To recall how Coleen Rooney baited the operative now officially known as ‘Rebekah Vardy’s Account’ by planting fake stories in her Instagram Stories, then waiting to see if they turned up on the pages of The Sun newspaper, which – they did! How she (Coleen) played a patient long-game on her sting, taking five whole months to deliver the findings of her arch-sleuthery to a hitherto oblivious world in…

PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK ON LAST WEEK’S royal tour to Pakistan, the Duchess of Cambridge showcased an elegant blend of British and Pakistani designers, ranging from classic pieces to sequinned gowns. For Kate, it was mission accomplished. While every engagement was planned meticulously – from meeting Prime Minister Imran Khan to visiting the retreating Chiatibo glacier – the thought process behind the ‘tourdrobe’ was equally extensive, requiring weeks of sourcing, tailoring and perfecting a diplomatic wardrobe that championed British designers while also celebrating her host country. Kate arrived in Pakistan last Monday, wearing a blue Catherine Walker gown, inspired by a shalwar kameez, a traditional outfit in Pakistan. As the week progressed, she stepped out in a periwinkle blue kurta, made by Pakistani designer Maheen Khan, a glittering green Jenny Packham…

PHOTOS: GOFF PHOTOS WHAT’S THE QUICKEST way to get cancelled in 2019? Is it a) declaring your love of single-use plastic b) using your air miles for weekend breaks in Australia or c) talking about dieting and weight loss? Right now, it’s option C. Recently, Lizzo was forced to issue a statement after Weight Watchers used her song Worship in an advert. Beyoncé faced a backlash for promoting her pre-Coachella vegan eating plan. And last week, Gwyneth Paltrow’s site Goop came under fire after publishing Busting Diet Myths – a Q&A with Dr Traci Mann, a professor of social and health psychology. In it, Dr Mann suggested that we should aim to stay at our ‘leanest liveable weight’, which she describes as ‘around what you weigh when you are eating…

Kim: too sexy for her man? KANYE WEST PAID wife Kim Kardashian a huge compliment last week, by saying she is one of the most beautiful women, ‘arguably of human existence’. Alas, he then spoilt it by adding that he finds some of her outfits – like the wet-look gown she wore to the Met Gala – ‘too sexy’, saying it affected ‘my soul and my spirit’. Should have quit while you were ahead, Kanye. When Prince Harry was overcome with emotion at last week’s WellChild Awards, it was a rare case of a royal showing their feelings. He said the event, which helps seriously ill children, ‘pulls at my heartstrings in a way I could never have understood until I had a child of my own’. We like a…

Bethnal Green MP Rushanara Ali is fighting to make housing safer, and enters the debate about whether ISIS brides should be allowed to return to the UK ‘People who watched Grenfell burn still can’t sleep at night, knowing they have the same cladding’ “While Brexit dominates our lives, many of us in Parliament have been campaigning on other issues, such as fighting cuts and ensuring the Government takes urgent action to tackle the climate emergency. PHOTO: BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES ‘Women have every right to be in politics’ I’ve also been campaigning for the Government to fund the removal of dangerous cladding from private housing blocks. After the Grenfell tragedy, I met people living in social and private housing that has the same dangerous ACM cladding that spread the horrific…

Living for Liberty If you already make a beeline for Liberty whenever you’re in London, prepare to fall in love with the department store’s debut ready-to-wear collection. We’re eyeing the elegantly eccentric print clash pieces.

JOELY WALKER, BEAUTY DIRECTOR Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moisture, £4.99 Moist – a word I avoid except when waxing lyrical about this hair mask. Ah, the thick, comforting formula that softens strands on demand, the reliably calming scent, the fact it costs less than a fiver… A fiver! A classic for all the right reasons. EMMA STODDART, BEAUTY WRITER WetBrush Original Detangler, £11.99 With fragile, super-fine strands made worse by bleaching, I’ve never loved brushing my hair, hating to lose a single strand. Then I tried the WetBrush, and everything changed. ‘Intelliflex’ bristles gently glide through any knots without pulling or snapping. A mane-changer. ANNIE VISCHER, BEAUTY EDITOR Mane ‘n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner, £5.99 each I’ve been lathering with these guys since before my teens – admittedly on my…

I appreciated ‘Don’t judge me for my happy pills’ (21 Oct). I never really had an understanding of depression until I experienced it myself. I thought people could help themselves with exercise, talking, eating better, etc. How wrong I was. When mental illness hit me, I was floored – I couldn’t even get out of bed, never mind go for a run. I felt ashamed I’d ever thought like that. Antidepressants had a massive, positive and almost immediate impact. I will forever be grateful that they’re available to me and I am in no hurry to come off them.…

CHARLOTTE SIMONE’S PENNY JACKET Headed for Instagram superstardom, and understandably so. CELEBRITY X FACTOR I was barely 10 mins into show one, before I realised I was witnessing a televisual miracle. DINNY HALL X NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY Excellent collab. I am all about the spiky hoops. TABITHA WEBB’S LUCILLE It’s a sparkle knit with a matching scarf, or as I know it: a win. GLIMPSE O’ SOCK The crucial, strategic flash of sock, between the top of your boot and the hem of your jeans.…

ONE OF THE biggest debates around sustainable fashion is that it can be expensive, a privilege for those who can afford luxury clothing, while the high street, with its notoriously large footprint, is generally easier on the wallet, but worse for the planet. And while this can often be true, a wave of high-street brands are rethinking their practices like never before. This year, several of them rank in the 41-50%, 51-60% and 61-70% brackets on the Fashion Revolution Transparency Index. This is where global fashion brands, including Massimo Dutti, Zara, Lindex, ASOS, M&S, Gap and H&M, are reviewed and ranked according to how much information they disclose about their suppliers, supply chain policies and practices, and social and environmental impact. Many of these companies have also built sustainability goals…

TYPE SIMONE BILES’ name into YouTube, click on any one of the thousands of clips, and you would be forgiven for thinking that video trickery had been used. The American gymnast seems to defy the laws of physics. Her triple twisting-double is legendary. But, somehow, it’s all real, and on Sunday last week she stepped on to the podium in Stuttgart, Germany to collect her 25th gold medal. It solidified her status as the gymnast with the most World Championship wins of all time. But she’s also just 22, a young woman in the final years of her record-breaking gymnastics career, wondering what’s ahead. ‘I haven’t even had time to process it,’ Simone tells Grazia over the phone from her home in Texas. ‘But I knew that it was a…

CAST YOUR MIND back to 2010 and you might remember Miriam González Durántez brought a bit of excitement to the coalition years. This glamorous, high-flying lawyer, who out-earned her Deputy Prime Minister husband, Nick Clegg, livened up politics – before the days when a minister resigned every week. Now she’s swapped grey London for the vistas of sunny California, where Nick has a new job at Facebook. Today, though, she’s back in the UK to launch a digital hub for her charity, Inspiring Girls. When we meet, she greets me with a firm handshake and dazzling Hollywood smile that must fit right in in her new neighbourhood of Palo Alto, where she, Nick and their three sons, Antonio, 17, Alberto, 15, and Miguel, 10, live in a $9m mansion. On…

Austrian Grüner: Natural, with the same neutral style as Pinot Grigio, but more giving on the orchard fruits and finish. Dry Furmint: Sommeliers are sliding this on to wine lists for Sauvignon-sippers. Orange wine: For when you want wine and a negroni; bitter and astringent. Frankovka: Croatian wine is very ‘now’. This is medium-bodied with earthy undertones – and half the price of Malbec. Riesling Sekt: A German sparkling that’s underrated, under-priced and more citrusy than prosecco.…

WHAT A TURN-UP for the books: last week saw the winner of the Booker Prize revealed. Or should we say, winners. Margaret Atwood was the bookies’ favourite. But the judges couldn’t decide between her best-selling novel The Testaments and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo – so they awarded the prize to both. Some detractors criticised the move, since Evaristo – the first black woman ever to win the Booker – must now share the £50,000 prize money and the plaudits. The decision also breached rules barring a joint victory, but the judges couldn’t resist and staged something of a sit-in until it was allowed. ‘It was an impossible task,’ judge Afua Hirsch says. ‘I’m proud of our decision.’…

*NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK AFTER YOUR WEDDING comes the ‘honeymoon period’ – and not just because of the holiday. You’re in a bubble of excited happiness, basking in the joy of your big day and anticipation of your future together. I was no exception. My wedding day last year was incredible, and Tom* and I were happier than we’d ever been. It was only later that the less romantic elements of tying myself legally to another person even occurred to me. Tom and I had never had a joint bank account, so our finances were separate. This was partly because Tom had a bad credit rating caused by some credit card debt, which he was paying off, and I didn’t want that to affect my credit score. But…

ADWOA ABOAH is more than one of the most striking faces in fashion. While her modelling career – which kicked off with a Storm signing at the age of 16 – has seen her grace campaigns and catwalks for the likes of Chanel, Burberry and Dior, it’s the 27-year-old’s frank and outspoken voice in the mental health arena that has singled her out as one of the boldest figures in the industry. ‘I really am my own greatest critic,’ she tells Grazia , ‘so I have to feel like I’m a part of each collaboration – that I have helped to build it and had a real input into what it is putting out there for the world to see.’ And Adwoa really walks the walk in that respect. Her…

Do we really have to go bare-faced in the gym? PHOTOS: ED MILES, INSTAGRAM/JLO I AM A SELF-CONFESSED make-up addict. I wear it every day of my life without fail – to the beach, whether I’ve just had a baby, and even if I’m so busy I don’t have time to eat, I will always find time to apply a three-minute face. I’m not talking about Kardashian-esque layers here, I’m more of a ‘stealth’ make-up kind of girl – the sort that makes you look fresh, bright and glowing with minimum effort. And so when it comes to the gym, I naturally default into my make-up wearing mode. Not tons, but you’ll be sure to find me in downward dog sporting a lick of mascara, spots covered, with a touch…

SOFT TOUCH From fringed to fluffy, snug to sequinned, cushions just keep on getting more textured. Mix one or two into your existing collection for a warmer winter. LET’S POP! We’re all loving coloured glass for its sheer beauty but also the happy factor it brings to a space. Mix shaded glassware into your table settings and place bright vases and candlesticks on your sideboard for a shot of joy. MADE BY HAND It started with plates, but now the trend for ceramics that look handmade or quirky can be found in everything from cups to vases. Add them into a shelfie or use them everyday to inject some character to your table.…

PHOTO: GIANANDREA TRAINA IT’S NEVER TOO early to launch the great conversation starter of the season: ‘do you like sprouts?’ Prepare your answer now; you’ll be flexing it until 27 December. Surely the truth is that only my dad likes sprouts the way Christmas intended – boiled in salty water until pale and soggy. Every year we, his offspring, like to wind him up by throwing around words like ‘pancetta’ and ‘butter’, but of course we love what we love and my dad loves bland old sprouts. Personally, I don’t love sprouts, but I’m crazy about crispy bottoms. I think you could define my entire cookery style this way – I endorse pans of paella left over the heat so the bottom layer of rice crisps up, and gentle mashing…

Watch live… The Accident Sarah Lancashire is the sympathetic hairdresser negotiating corporate intervention and teenage hysteria in a backwater Welsh village beset by calamity. Happy Valley vibes of bleak, black-humoured local resilience are inevitably invoked but I struggled a little with the first episode, light on establishing scenes, heavy on explosions. It feels a bit like a particularly epic opening of an episode of Casualty. BEGINS THURSDAY, 9PM, CHANNEL 4 Catch up on… BoJack Horseman The end is nigh for BoJack, a cautionary missive on fame earned and lost, told through the animated eyes of a booze-addled humanoid pony who once relished in the fame of ’90s TV stardom. Expect it to be enshrined in legend by January. FINAL SEASON, FRIDAY, NETFLIX Wallow in… The Kominsky Method Another, altogether more…

EMELI SANDÉ 32, SINGER-SONGWRITER ON VEGANISM, HER PIANO ADDICTION AND DOLLY PARTON’S TOUR BUS PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK Home is in Hertfordshire, so it’s really nice to get back to the countryside after a busy day and kick off my shoes. Every time I get home, my Bluetooth connects to my speakers in my room upstairs, so everyone knows I’m back. I live with my sister, her partner and my nephew, so I check in with everybody and, since my sister is usually cooking something, I’ll go to the kitchen to see what’s for dinner. She’s a vegan, so she’s opened my eyes to how tasty veganism can be. The house is big enough that everybody has their own private sections, so we don’t step on each other’s toes too much. Once…
