REFORMATION NATION If you’re as frock-obsessed as Look is, chances are you’ve been a fan of LA label Reformation ever since Rosie H-W sashayed out out in their now iconic Georgette wrap dress back in 2014. Up to a fortnight ago, such style longings would’ve had you panic ordering from the States while doing some fast and loose import maths in your head. For US-based Reformation has traditionally been one for 1) celebs 2) jet-setters 3) jet-setting celebs 4) millionaires and/or 5) rogue fashion fanatics who’ll risk life and limb (+ shipping fees) for the latest It buy. But not any more! Reformation has done the incredible and dropped an edit of its best bits at net-a-porter.com. This means many things: 1) no more being stung by shipping fees 2)…

Work out right ‘Do exercise that feels loving towards your body, and that you actually enjoy. When you do exercise that you love, it becomes a celebration for your body, not a punishment.’ Raise your standards ‘Don’t allow that negative self-talk – it’s not welcome. When it creeps in, replace the nasty words with positive love and support for yourself instead. Remember, if you wouldn’t say it to a friend or your mum, don’t tolerate it from yourself!’ Stop and think ‘Every day, with everything you do, ask yourself: is this choice loving towards my body? Does this feel nourishing? When you know you’re supporting your body rather than abandoning or neglecting her, you will have that inner confidence that you so deserve.’…

The party season is the perfect time to meet new contacts and catch up with former colleagues. Here’s how to make a good impression every time... 1 Prep Before the event, see if you can find out the guest list by emailing the organiser. If you do get names, find them on LinkedIn and check their job titles. Friend’s do? Check their Facebook ‘accepted’ list to see who’s coming. 2 Mingle It sounds obvious but standing in a corner with your regular group isn’t going to help. Instead, ask each of your friends to bring over one of their friends and introduce them, widening your circle. 3 Smile A recent US study revealed that you’re more approachable when smiling and the act of smiling is actually contagious. And that’s no…

Getting-ready time? 45 mins. Go-to party make-up look? Bronze/brown eye with a feline flick. Soundtrack? I like club classics, like Set You Free and Show Me Love – anything that’s really nostalgic. Key to getting ready quickly? Washing your hair the night before and a knowing what you’re wearing. Make-up schedule? Moisturiser, lip balm, primer, eyes, foundation, powder, highlighter and finally lips. Celeb you’d like to get ready with: Kate Hudson. She’s really funny and I doubt she’d be too high-maintenance andtakeages. She’s a real girls’ girl. Best going-out companion? My friends from home. When they stay with me in Essex, we’re all in different rooms and we all walk around each one chatting together, and we have drink pit stops where we all come together. It takes about three…

“After her divorce, there will be wedding bells” It’s been a busy month for Cheryl. After months spent in hiding, the singer appeared at a L’Oréal event in Paris, took part in her first live interview in years on The One Show and, as Look went to press, was rumoured to be attending the Global Gift Gala alongside hosts Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham last weekend. But there’s been one thing missing… her boyfriend of 11 months Liam Payne. And it’s said to be why Cheryl’s been leaning so heavily on her mum Joan Callaghan for support right now. 'Cheryl’s really been working flat out for the last month,’ says our source. 'And not having Liam around just as she’s stepped back into the spotlight has been hard.’ Liam and…

Over Christmas when I’m with my family, I go on long walks and do body weight HIIT circuits.’ POPCORN IS MY LIFE ‘I am obsessed with snacking on popcorn as it’s low calorie but great satisfaction.

'I’m all for a house party but I can’t bear the idea of having my personal space unveiled to the whole world and his dog. But with these buys? Heck, plus ones all round!’MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR Whether you’re hosting Christmas or your home happens to be the closest post-Xmas party crib for the office to head back to, you’re sure to find yourself in an open house situ at some point during the festive season.

What’s it like to be back in Gilmore Girls? It’s heaven – just like coming home. Did you have any concerns about returning to the show? No, I was pressuring Amy [Sherman-Palladino, the show’s writer] for years to see if we could do a movie. My only problem was filming in California. Urgh! I prefer New York. Red carpets and the celebrity stuff really isn’t my cup of tea. What do you love most about playing Emily Gilmore? She’s just outspoken – so sassy. I love to play her as awful as possible, but I somehow made her sympathetic because people don’t hate me as much as I thought. Put it this way, you wouldn’t want her as a mother! Has her difficult relationship with her daughter Lorelai mellowed? No,…

Every year, The Prince’s Trust hosts its Tomorrow’s Talent competition to give young artists a chance to show off their skills. Cool, huh? And that’s not even the best bit... Oasis teamed up with winner Janine White on a 25-piece collection and it’s amazing. It’s fronted by Brit supermodel Neelam Gill, who’s worked with Burberry and Abercrombie & Fitch, but even that can’t take our attention away from the clothes: delicately embroidered leather, midnight blue tea dresses and box pleat mini skirts make perfect party picks, while super-soft sweats and sleek floral shirts are winter wardrobe staples you’ll wear year after year. With prices from £38, Christmas really has come early. “Richly romantic berry-hued nails add warmth to cool metallics. Keep yours extra glossy by applying a gel effect top…

You might hear the words maxi, embellished and bird print all in the same breath and think: niche. You’d be wrong, as that is how to describe ASOS’s £180 party frock, which went on sale last week – and sold out in days. Where once one may have relied on that fail-safe black dress and sensible pair of heels, it’s now about doing whatever the hell you like. And, like the virtual best friend you never knew you had, ASOS knows it. It’s not just the embellished birds; ASOS’s Salon range has metallic slips delicately covered by sheer, rose-embroidered layers, as well as an entirely transparent maxi seemingly made of blooms (which landed yesterday – so don’t dally). There are also oversized, sheer frocks in sorbet shades, reminiscent of designer…

Michelle Keegan is the kind of star you know you’ll have a great night out with. Down to earth, funny and friendly, it’s no surprise she’s been so successful. But she’s also ambitious. First appearing on our screens in 2008 as Corrie’s feisty Tina McIntyre, the 29 year old’s since made that transition from soap star to serious actress, as well as fashion designer – and she’s made it look easy. And who’s inspired her along the way? None other than Victoria Beckham. 'She thinks Victoria’s an amazing role model,’ a pal tells us. 'She’d love to have a career like hers.’ While VB hasn’t got Michelle’s acting CV (unless we’re counting Spiceworld, which we still consider one of the best 90s films ever), it’s her drive and family image…

L’Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil, £6.66 I’ve got curly hair that is prone to the odd split end but it’s not overly frizzy so I need to be careful not to use really thick, heavy oils. That’s why this is my go-to. I use a small pump – a little goes a long way – run it through the ends and, like magic, they look smoother and healthier. @hlbw ghd Advanced Split End Therapy, £19.95 This is seriously a wonder product. Its clever technology is activated by heat, so when I’m styling my hair the cream works to bind the broken fibres for instant glam. It also works to prevent future breakage. It’s genius! @daisiesmith Bleach London Reincarnation Mask, £6 Being a blondie, I bleach my hair every few weeks so…

We don’t know if there’s something in the Alpine water or if it’s a result of overexposure to the Eiffel Tower, but there’s no denying French girls have style. They’ve got the art of curating off-duty outfits down – Breton stripes, Brigitte Bardot-esque skinny jeans and ballet pumps are basically national uniform – but it’s their take on after dark dressing that really sets these ladies apart. The secret to nailing the effortless vibe isn’t geographical disposition; it’s La Redoute. Long has the label provided us a fast track to that fashionable je ne sais quoi, and now it’s got our night out needs covered for the party season. Sleek velvet suiting, prim prom dresses and the chicest co-ords this side of Taylor Swift; we’re smitten with the lot. When…
