THE COMEBACK QUEENS It’s no secret that fashion can be cyclical, and right now the biz is going crazy for all things #throwback. Fresh off the Paris SS17 catwalk were the shoes of dreams, courtesy of Saint Laurent. Newbie creative director Anthony Vaccarello revived the iconic 'Yves’, which his predecessor Hedi Slimane dashed during his four-year tenure at the label. It’s further proof that branded logos are seriously a go-go (case in point: Gucci belt overload on Insta). And it’s not just outfit classics having a moment – Gigi Hadid closed Bottega Veneta’s sublime show with legendary model Lauren Hutton, bringing together two generations of supers. Emosh doesn’t even cut it. Meanwhile, just when we thought we’d resurrected every 90s trend we could, Alexa Chung put yin and yang jewels…

River Island’s frayed-hem jeans, M&S’s leopard heels, Zara’s embroidered bomber: we’ve been treated to more hero buys this season than ever before. But now we’ve found the frock to end all frocks. Part of Dorothy Perkins’ fash ed-adored AW16 haul, this dress has only just dropped and we’ve already spied it on the likes of The Frugality’s Alex Stedman. Which can only be a good thing. In case you need them, here are seven reasons why you need this dress in your life. 1 We can't believe it’s just £45. 2 It may be one dress but it ticks off four major trends. Oriental? Check. Blown-up blooms? Sure. Go-faster stripes? You bet. Exaggerated full sleeves? Absolutely. Yep – it’s a fashion full house. 3 Seriously. It’s only £45. 4 As…

Minimalists need not apply – this is no half-hearted pastel but full-blown fluoro. Think highlighter hues and you’re on the right track. A natural choice for street style stars, this Instagrammable shade has made just as much of an impact on the high street. Head to Topshop for a wow-factor coat, ASOS for must-have loafers or, for a subtle nod to the trend, update your #shelfie with Molton Brown’s pink peppercorn candle. Barbie would be proud. The message on the AW 16 catwalks is clear. it’s time to think pink…

Celebrity stylist Paul Edmonds, the man behind Lilah’s hack, says: 'Short hair is back! This style is much easier for Lilah to maintain. You can slick it back, wear it up in a simple bun or glam things up with hair embellishments.’ ‘I’ve had the same hair for eight years and felt so bored of it. I wanted a break from having a fringe and then I thought: ‘Why not just go for a full-on change?’ I knew I wanted a bob and showed my hairdresser Paul a pic from Pinterest, then left him to it. It felt so refreshing! I’ve had long hair since I was about 14 and short hair feels great, but I’m still learning to style it. My co-host on Capital Radio, Dave Berry, suggested I…

We’ve always wondered what really warrants 'cult’ fashion status and when we heard the story of #ThatCoat, we finally got our answer: a personal Instagram account. Yes, really. Zara’s navy and cream tile-print number which, BTW, suits literally everyone, costs £69.99 and when sisters Alice Frances and Emily Bray spotted approx 5,839 people wearing it at Chelsea Flower Show, they decided the @ThatCoat Insta account was the least it deserved. Fast-forward four months and thousands of followers and the girls have snapped it everywhere from tubes to tennis matches – heck, even the Royal nanny’s got one! Unfortunately, the coat’s sold out everywhere bar a few stores – just don’t say we didn’t warn you if you bag one and someone else rocks up in the same… LOOK’S CULT CRYSTAL…

No sooner had we recovered from Tom and Taylor’s split than Brangelina came along and broke our hearts too. Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from 52- year-old Brad Pitt just days after the pair’s second wedding anniversary. And insiders say Ange, 41 , is taking charge of the situation by erasing Brad from her body for good. ‘Ange’s tattoos are very symbolic for her. She’s a passionate soul who leads with her heart and loves dramatic displays of affectionwhen she’s in love,’ says our source.‘It’s the ultimate statement of love and dedication. Sadly, not for the first time in her life, she’s thinking of having the procedure reversed.’ Angelina has already had one of her rumoured 17 tattoos removed. After getting hitched to actor Billy Bob Thornton in 2000 ,…

Karren Brady can reduce even the most suave, confident person to nothing with one swift eye roll. And we love her for it. Karren, 47, now Baroness Brady CBE, is not only a fierce businesswoman who’s worked her way up from ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi to become the 'first lady of football’ – she’s currently vice-chairman of West Ham United FC – she’s also reportedly worth a cool £85m and is about to guide a new crop of hopeful candidates through the gruelling tasks on The Apprentice. We asked her to give us her best advice for getting ahead in the business world… Be A People Person ‘People do business with people, so work with someone you like, understand and trust.

We oozed with pride when the Team GB women’s hockey squad took gold at this year’s Rio Olympics, but we were also obsessed with their buff bods. As forward Sophie Bray, 26, tells Look : 'Hockey demands speed, power, strength, endurance and robustness.’ It’s not for the faint-hearted, and neither are the ladies’ gruelling training sessions. We ask Sophie how they do it… We Train ‘In the week, we have six two-hour pitch sessions, three gym sessions and then sometimes we do extra running sessions. At the gym, our main focus is on injury prevention. The best physios work out what our strengths and weaknesses are in terms of muscle strength and movement patterns.’ We Stretch ‘Core strength is important, so try moves such as the plank. Lunges are the…

WORTH THE HYPE: The Girl On The Train There’s no film we’ve anticipated more this year. Paula Hawkins’ bestselling 2015 novel has been adapted for the big screen with a cast that includes Emily Blunt as lead Rachel Watson and Justin Theroux playing her ex-husband Tom.It’llgiveyou the chills (more so than the book), plus it’s really sexy. Grab your partner and go! VERDICT: OMG. SRSLY? Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie It’s been five years in the making and after premiering at the London Film Festival last year, it’s getting a public release.

Leaving us with more questions than answers, it’s Louis’s weirdest ride…

After an Insta-wide search, we locked ourselves in a room with top model agents and Boohoo.com’s bigwigs to choose the brand new face (and body) of the digital giant’s latest Curve drop. With thousands of entries to cipher through, it was a tough job but someone had to do it. After hours of deliberation, we all agreed that Cira Sharp-Taylor was worthy of the coveted crown and, having locked eyes on the campaign, we’re sure you’ll think so too. Bringing all the fun of the fair to your wardrobe, the collection is a mix of glittering frocks, colour-pop knits and super-cosy parkas. Basically, it’s everything you’ll need for the new season, and all available in sizes 16-24. Say hello to clothes deserving of your curves……

Prints, prints and more prints: that was the order of the day as fashiondom’s most stylish descended on the streets of Milan. Giving the catwalks a serious run for their money in the outfit stakes, the well-turned-out attendees resembled a flock of exotic birds in their ultra-bright ensembles, peppered with stripes, floral and geo motifs. Clearly, the ‘more is more’ mantra was in full swing and that didn’t go unnoticed by you sartorially savvy types.

What’s the deal with trousers, eh? Whether they’re palazzo, peg or the dreaded harem, mere weeks after they reach peak popularity, they become passé. Old hat. Unfashionable. It’s inevitable, and we’ve come to terms with the fact that our love for certain strides will be forever fickle. And in no uncertain circumstances, the same fate will befall the latest trouser trend to hit the sartorial scene. Miroslava Duma and Pernille Teisbaek have both taken a leaf out of Marni’s AW17 book, donning stirrup trousers for all to see. A must-have for jockeys, both professional and amateur, as well as being an integral part of our childhood uniform, there’s no denying their practicality where boots are concerned. But slung over heels? We’re on the fence. To help you decide, two Look…

“I wanted to create quality pieces that are affordable” We can’t hear the words Self Portrait without picturing A-listers in lattice lace dresses and pretty broderie anglaise blouses. So when we heard that new London brand Perseverance was being touted as the next SP, our hearts skipped a beat. Founded by Spanish designer Eudald Luis, Perseverance is only in its second season but has already developed its own unique aesthetic. 'I wanted to create great pieces with quality fabrication and attention to detail but I wanted the items to be affordable,’ says Luis. His intricate lace trims, balloon-sleeve knits and oversized pussybow blouses all start below the £200 mark and are already stocked at Liberty, Avenue 32 and Flannels. Perseverance is even starting to attract a celeb following; we saw…

“My privacy is very intentional” Rifling through her purse while standing at the Mothercare counter, the photo of Cheryl’s mum Joan Tweedy buying baby items seems to be the confirmation the world had been waiting for that Cheryl could be pregnant with her first child. While Cheryl, 33, has neither confirmed or denied the claims, it comes after weeks of speculation. Firstly, the star’s 1D boyfriend Liam Payne, 23, changed his Twitter profile bio to read 'luckiest man in the world’, then Cheryl revealed a new healthy look in her latest L’Oréal advert. And sources tell Look she’s ready to move into the next stage of her life – with some major plans. 'Cheryl and Liam are planning an incredible future together and can’t wait to start a family and…

Eight years ago, Sam and Nic Chapman started tentatively sharing their make-up artist tutorials. Fast-forward to now and the sisters have over 2 million YouTube subscribers, a massive beauty brand (Real Techniques – currently the bestselling make-up brushes in the UK, FYI) and a life that sees them travel the world to meet their fans. When I meet them in a hip London hotel, the pair are über-glam and ecstatic to share the details of their new book Face. 'It’s everything you need to know, for every single person,’ says younger sister Nic, 36. Strikingly, these ladies are the most down-to-earth vloggers we’ve met, and they clearly still have a serious passion for beauty – evidenced when Sam, 39, gets her make-up bag out mid-interview so we can have a…

‘I was recently at a restaurant with my friends and decided to buy a round of drinks for us all to celebrate my BFF’s promotion at work. So imagine my horror when my bank card was rejected in front of everyone – it was utterly mortifying. Luckily, I had my credit card with me, so I managed to save face – but it was still embarrassing. When it comes to planning ahead now, I couldn’t live without it. Spending time with the girls takes a bit more time and effort as we live all over the country, so we need to book things way in advance. Thanks to Noddle, I was accepted for the right credit card – so I can book six tickets to see Bastille on tour and…

As far as we’re concerned, one of the only good things about colder days and shorter nights is the prospect of a new wardrobe. But with around 5 million knits and too many coats to choose from, how are we ever supposed to compile our new season wardrobe?

“She’s found it tough to commit after being a single woman for so long” In and out of clubs with model of the moment Cara Delevingne in tow, this is the Rihanna we’re used to seeing at Fashion Week. But new man Drake, 29, who the singer’s been growing closer to in the last few months, is apparently irritated by 28-year-old RiRi’s actions after she promised to spend more time with him. Awks. 'Ri’s gone from talking about wedding and babies one week to non-stop clubbing the next,’ says our insider. 'She’s had less time for Drake because she loves going out with Cara. Ri and Cara’s bond goes back many years. They’re very close – they’re best friends.’ RiRi and Drake have apparently had some serious tension over her…

@londonpaleogirl The word ‘paleo’ is often thrown around nutrition blogs. Although eating like a caveman (think meat, fish, fruit, veggies and nuts) might mean avoiding some of life’s small pleasures (toast, cupcakes and porridge), blogger Tessa Seward shows her 28.7k followers that paleo is fun. PALEO: THE BASICS ‘Paleo foods are the most nutrient-dense, natural foods you can get. Consume a diet rich in quality meat and fish (I only eat white meat), fresh vegetables, superfoods and good fats. Avoid gluten, grains, dairy and refined sugar’ Tessa’s mantra: ÔDonÕt miss out on 95 per cent of your life just to weigh five per cent less.Õ BUT WHY?! ‘It was a complete lifestyle change a few years ago due to health reasons. I follow a strict paleo diet 80 per cent…

If you’re going for red meat, the citrussy Gamma Ray will offset the strong, meaty flavours. Pick them up at Beermerchants. com/beavertown NOT INTO BEER?
