It doesn’t matter what’s inside the box, be it a pair of Christian Louboutins, a bottle of Chanel No 5 or another woolly knit from your nan: if the wrapping isn’t on point, it may as well be a lump of coal. Not that we’re ungrateful, mind – it’s just that pretty paper and all the ribbon trimmings make the whole gift-giving experience way more magical. Ensure your pressies go down a treat with these beautiful (but super-easy) wrapping ideas that come with the Look team’s seal of approval as standard. Sticky tape and scissors at the ready… Neon Riot Chloe Jackson, Fashion Editor ‘Christmas doesn’t have to be all about red and white. I’m going for neon brights and clashing prints, with dashes of tinsel for good festive measure.’…

Trends come and go but, as this hue’s name suggests, evergreen is here for the long style haul. The shade of the season was spearheaded on the Chloé and Rochas catwalks alike, and has since transcended to the high street. Easier to style than navy but as chic as black, everything from dresses and skirts to bags and boots has been painted a rich forest green. Thanks to the soft undertones, it’ll suit every hair colour and complexion, and there aren’t many shades you can say that about.…

While the prospect of Buck’s Fizz at 9am, opening presents and, of course, Christmas dinner is still enough to inspire child-like excitement in us all, the thought of cobbling together a wardrobe that’s appropriate for each and every festive occasion is almost too much to bear. That’s why the current offering from Urban Outfitters is right up our street. Tackling winter in its usual, inimitable way, there are Lurex midi dresses, oversized shearling jackets, tiered skirts and a healthy dose of leopard print for good measure. Pretty ruffle frocks and glittering minis are offset by brightly coloured puffer jackets and ski pants (very Balenciaga) and the slip dresses can be worn as party pieces in their own right or layered over a poloneck for daytime. These pieces are, in short,…

“At Christmas I just love quiet family time” Beaming. Glowing. Smiling. Relaxed. What a different Cheryl we’re seeing compared to last year. In December 2015, Cheryl was finishing up her exhausting X Factor judging duties in the wake of her acrimonious split from husband of 18 months Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, 36. Fast-forward to now and the singer has finally found love with 1D’s Liam Payne and is looking forward to 'the perfect family Christmas’. 'They’re determined to make the most of their time together and have a huge family gathering planned,’ says our source. 'Cheryl’s so happy.’ 'I have so many special memories [about Christmas],’ says Cheryl. 'When I got into Girls Aloud it was this time of year. Then we got the Christmas No 1 and ever since then there’s…

“I was devastated, but also relieved to know” There’s just something about Christmas, isn’t there? Cosy fires, mulled wine and a 'frisky’ feeling in the air. Then there’s the office Christmas party. It’s talked about for weeks and there’s often someone you’ve thought of underneath the mistletoe, even if you’re already in a couple. A 2014 survey revealed that a staggering 33 per cent of men in a relationship confessed to starting an affair with a co-worker at a Christmas party, while 25 per cent of women admitted a male colleague had made a pass at them that night. Not comfortable reading if you have suspicions about a partner’s fidelity, but there is one way to be sure. More millennials than ever are now turning to private investigators or 'honeytrappers’,…

We’re all for shaking our plastic spout cup around like a gym pro, but is your protein powder really right for you? The latest addition to our (already heaving) gym bag is MissFits Nutrition’s Multitasker, £20 for 12 sachets. Each 25g pack contains a perfectly portioned protein shake just for women, kinda like a Yorkie bar in reverse. Oh, and it’s less than 80 calories, so it’s much healthier. Full of vitamin B12 and green tea extract to reduce tiredness and fatigue (great for that time of the month), it also contains zinc and bamboo extracts for healthy skin, hair and nails. The best bit? It’s made with pea protein, banishing the bloat often associated with dairy. Yum!…

1 Post-Prosecco Packing You knew Christmas was coming, you’ve known for 12 months. But of course you’re hurriedly packing for your trip home in a post-work Prosecco haze, cursing as you have 30 minutes before you catch the train. 2 The Stand Off In your head, you imagine listening to Driving Home For Christmas on repeat, gazing out of a train window as snowflakes fall. Bliss. In reality, you’ll be standing in a crammed aisle while trying to balance the world’s most oddly shaped presents. 3 The Feeders Your waistline will expand. Your family spends the whole time overfeeding you and will then comment on how ‘well’ you look. 4 The Borrower You realise you’ve packed nothing appropriate (see No 1 ) but you will find something amazing in your…

Employ Some Pre-Sale Prep It sounds obvious, but when you’re faced with countless cut-price treats you can easily forget that you don’t have a Kardashian bank balance. Avoid overspending by setting yourself a strict budget and being realistic about what you can (and, more importantly, can’t) afford; remember, those bills won’t pay themselves. Target shops you’re totally obsessed with and shop them in order – that way, you’re more likely to be happy with your haul when the pennies eventually run out. But don’t forget, sales season is also hitting the slightly spenny shops you only frequent on Insta. Whistles, Reiss, Jigsaw and delicious designer destinations always have major discounts on their most luxe stuff. Elbows at the ready, ladies… Impulse Buys Are NOT Your Friend Sure, statement pieces might…

1 What’s the best thing about Christmas? a) I mean, I’d never say no to presents, but the rest is such a faff. Can’t we just scrap the build-up bit? (2) b) EVERYTHING. Cake, presents, carols, reindeer, Santa. OMG. (3) c) When it’s over. Bah, humbug! (1) 2 What do you leave out for Father Christmas? a) Whatever his heart desires. Mince pies, a glass of milk and carrots for the reindeer. Maybe then he’ll visit more than once a year… (3) b) Nothing. Spoiler alert: He’s. Not. Real. (1) c) A Slimfast shake so he can get down those chimneys quicker. (2) 3 You’re shopping in John Lewis and Jingle Bells starts to play. What do you do? a) Leave. As quickly as my legs will carry me. (1)…

We’ve long harboured grandiose visions of wafting around in satin robes and feathered heels, just like old-school Hollywood pin-ups, but finding a time and a place to live out this sartorial fantasy has never worked out in our favour. So we’ve relegated our party season attire to sequins and velvet, pushing our satin dreams aside. However, as it turns out, there’s strength in numbers. Satin is up a colossal 2,830 per cent in Google searches in the last month alone, meaning you, the people, have sparked a shopping revolution. Now, the high street’s filled with the slinky stuff and, as a result, our sateen obsession has gone well beyond the confines of the slip dress. As if by magic, everything from midi skirts to NYE-worthy jumpsuits has been given the…

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year! Why? Is it because of the faint, angelic sound of children caroling? Or could it be the rich aroma of wine mulling? Perhaps it’s the taste of mince pies and brandy butter? Actually, it’s because this is really the only time of the year when it’s socially acceptable to live in your pyjamas. Whether you’re cooking Christmas dinner, settling down to play Trivial Pursuit or greeting long-lost family (no, we don’t even get dressed for that), the Yuletide period is effectively one long PJ party. This means it’s also entirely acceptable to buy a brand new pair (or three) for yourself – and everyone else in your house. Hello, Matalan! Yes, the high street hotspot has cosy styles for one and all,…

We’ve all had a friend who starts dating someone new and suddenly she’s not answering your WhatsApp messages, she’s flaking on your nights out and before you know it it’s been months since you’ve seen her. Well, we’re a little worried about Jennifer Lawrence, 26, because the actress seems to be switching up her inner circle for her new director love interest, 47-year-old Darren Aronofsky. 'It’s very clear she wants to impress him,’ says an insider who was on set with the star. 'He’s a very serious guy. He’s 20 years older than her and that's made a huge difference.’ One noticeable absence in Jen’s life is comedienne Amy Schumer, 35, who’s been close mates with the actress since they met in 2015. Jen revealed: 'I emailed [Amy] after I…

5.2m The number of you who tried to get your hands on one of only 500 tickets for each of the shows this series. Better luck next time? 1,454 That’s approximately how many dances (minus the final show) there’ve been in Strictly’s history. 23   The average number of points Ed Balls scored this series (sixth overall), proving he’s no dummy on the dancefloor. Even if we can’t get his Gangnam Style out of our heads. 19 The number of times already we’ve watched the trailer for the Strictly Christmas special. We’re in denial that this series is coming to an end. 350 The number of mascaras the Strictly girls have got through on the show since it began. 70  The age of the oldest ever contestant, Lesley Joseph.

Charlie’s Mantra: ‘One day you won’t be able to do this. Today is not that day’ Why run? ‘I love the feeling of freedom and release I get from running. I suffer badly with anxiety and running helps me deal with it, giving me time away from my computer, social media and daily stresses. Also, I love the non-academic challenge that running brings. Kit yourself out ‘I run 3-6 miles, four times a week, plus a long run when I’m marathon training, so I need good clothes. The collab between New Balance and J Crew is gorgeous – totally my style and functional too. I wore them when I did the New York marathon in November.’ Keen to try? ‘If you can’t run, walk. Incline walking is great for burning…

• ‘Darren would tell us things about each other to try to make us jealous. I think he was trying to create a rivalry in real life between us.’ Natalie Portman talking about the director pitting her against her Black Swan co-star Mila Kunis • ‘I loved the idea of taking this girl … and pushing her away from her innocence. It excited me.’ Darren on Natalie’s Black Swan role • ‘I was like: “Darren, I don’t think I can do this, I’m really sick.” He was like: “Use it for the scene”. And I turned round to the bus and was like: “Is he joking? He is joking, right?” and there was deadly silence.’ Emma Watson on working with Darren for Noah…

A woman who gets to kiss Ryan Gosling not once, but on a regular basis should by rights be a woman we hate. So how is it that, since bursting onto our screens in 2007’s Superbad, we have had pure, unadulterated love for Emma Stone? It’s partly down to the 28-year-old’s engaging and funny personality. Then there’s her slick style and the fact that her 'squad’ includes Amy Schumer, Adele and Jennifer Lawrence – that’s a night out we want to be a part of. She’s also about to star in the film of 2017. La La Land (out 13 January) is an all-singing, all-dancing flick about aspiring actress Mia and her wannabe musician love interest Sebastian. It sees her star opposite Ryan for a third time and the result…

SO WHAT’S THE DEAL, JOE? ‘You don’t need to work out five times a week during your Christmas break. Drop it down to 20 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) three to four times a week.

This year may have had a few, um, ups and downs, but stellar film and TV has been our salvation. The Jungle Book, Arrival, Me Before You and Doctor Strange are a mere selection of the viewing delights we’ve lapped up over the past 12 months – and that’s just on the big screen. Mighty Netflix has given the movie industry a major run for its money with the likes of Stranger Things and The Crown gathering a cult following. Newcomers have become A-listers, while veteran stars have shone brighter than ever before. But who can officially call themselves the most popular celebrity of 2016? IMDb has the answer. The internet powerhouse has compiled a list of the 10 stars who caused an online frenzy this year. The rankings were…
