It’s impossible not to feel excited about Christmas around Michelle Keegan. Which is why we knew she was the only woman to front our bumper festive issue. After all, she’s a Look lady through and through – überglamorous, the first on the dancefloor and, like us, the first to say 'sack the diet’ when it comes to Christmas dinner. When we joined Michelle for our exclusive chat in her ultra-luxe hotel suite in London, we had loads to catch up on. Last time we met, we discovered she and husband Mark had 'hit a bump’ after their honeymoon and of course, there were those surgery rumours. Now there’s her stellar career – ’Chelle’s filmed Ordinary Lies and landed the lead in Our Girls , which shockingly will see her separated…

@beyonce love HOLIDAY CASH FLASHERS If her Insta is anything to go by, Bey spent 99 per cent of 2015 on a luxury yacht or a private jet.

Poking fun at everything and everyone, he now has 7 m followers and even had his own show at NYFW. A must-follow. @kensingtonroyal CUTENESS OVERLOAD Too. Cute. For. Words. This was the account to follow for cooing over Princess Charlotte after she was born in May this year. But don’t forget about gorgeous George. Our hearts instantly melt when we…

Model Magic… GIGI & BELLA HADID Gigi Hadid, 20 , may be the model of the moment, a Victoria’s Secret Angel and Kendall’s BFF – but we’ve also got our eye on her younger sis, Bella. The 19 -year-old rising star, who is dating The Weeknd, is currently leading the way in Topshop’s Christmas campaign after her runway debut last season. ‘If anything, I know that Gigi just inspires me to work a little harder,’ she says of her older sis. ‘I want to follow in her footsteps. I want to one day walk for Chanel, too.’ The Showgirls... BEYONCÉ & SOLANGE KNOWLES You’re a musician and your big sis is Beyoncé, 34. That’s a tough act to follow. But Solange, 29, is a star in her own right, dazzling…

Meet The Team Samantha Freedman Beauty Editor Victoria Jowett Beauty Writer Gabrielle Dyer Beauty Assistant Every Perfume Lover’s Dream… Givenchy’s Limited Edition Dahlia Divin Eau De Parfum Music Box, £95, is so decadent. If sweet plum, jasmine and rich sandalwood in the fragrance weren’t gorgeous enough, it also comes housed in a Givenchy music box. Once wound up, it plays songs composed by none other than Alicia Keys, the face of the perfume. Victoria Wonder Hair Therapy I previously thought no treatment would ever give me locks as glossy as K-Middy’s, until I tried Kérastase’s new Fusio-Dose Treatment, £ 15 – an in-salon service* that lets you createa bespoke concoction. First, you pick your base treatment according to your main concern (mine was lack of shine), followed by the booster…

Meet The Team Lucy Felton Head Of Fashion Content Chloe Jackson Fashion Editor Gemma Yates Fashion News Editor Maxine Eggenberger Senior Fashion News Writer Hannah Banks-Walker Fashion News Writer Sarah Barlow Fashion Assistant Haute Hi-Tops If sneakers did party, this is what they’d look like.

Dressed up or dressed down? I always wear Disney pyjamas on Christmas morning. Home or away? There’s no place like home! Christmas film? Home Alone! I always wrap presents while watching it. Cook or be cooked for? I’ve never actually cooked a Christmas dinner before! I normally get left with the stuffing, I don’t think [I’m trusted] with anything else. Festive make-up or keeping it natural? I like a bit more sparkle! So I’ll probably wear a bit of glitter so I feel a bit Christmassy.…

‘I’ve got a confession to make: sex is pretty low in my priorities right now. I’ve been seeing someone for a couple of months, but with a growing to-do list, it seems enough of a struggle to get myself into work in clean clothes every day, let alone find the time to seduce a partner. And it seems I’m not alone. According to the British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes & Lifestyles, most coupled-up Brits don’t even manage to have sex once a week. But this attitude isn’t doing much for my health. Sex is good for you – it enhances your immune system, lowers blood pressure, and even helps raise your pain threshold. That’s more than enough reasons to be getting jiggy – which is why I strapped on…

SARAH BROMLEY, 31 , ESSEX ‘There were bits of both sisters I identified with, but I’m probably more Kate than Maura. You’ve got to love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – they always make such a brilliant double act. Definitely two ladies I’d like to go out on the town with.’ TERRI PASHLEY, 27 , DONCASTER ‘I thought the film was great – really funny, and it reminded me of all the fun my sister and I had when we were younger. If I had to be one of the sisters I would be Kate – Tina Fey had me creased up. I was always the bad influence on my well-behaved younger sister when we were kids!’ ANDREA WILLIAMS, 25 , CHICHESTER ‘Wow, this is such a feel-good movie! It’s…
