It’s the most talked-about show on UK telly, launching music careers for the nation’s most talented. But since this year’s X Factor audition process began, the potential superstars about to burst onto our screens have been scarcely mentioned, instead replaced by a different talking point: Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s body. But not in admiration. In fact, far from it. The 32-year-old judge has been criticised for her small waist, 'jutting’ shoulders and visible ribcage. Headlines calling Cheryl 'skinny’, 'a walking skeleton’ and urging her to 'get help’ have been circulating ever since she stepped out in Manchester for the first round of auditions. Wearing a black strappy Thierry Mugler crop top and high-waisted Roland Mouret flares, her tiny frame was undeniable. The criticism became so widespread, Cheryl even had to defend herself…

says Michael Lissack, creator of We-Consent app 'Recently, New York and California passed a law mandating colleges to adopt affirmative consent policies, meaning legally you have to ask before you act when it comes to sex. But the general habit of young people is silence, activity and then maybe a discussion. This app is designed to give them tools so that they can talk first. People have asked about the app with regards to rape, but it isn’t trying to be a solution; it’s about getting people to communicate. When people think of rape, they often think of an extreme kind, but most unwanted sexual encounters on college campuses don’t involve physical violence. It’s important to separate the two, and also remember that the app isn’t a substitute for 999.…

Mono Mash-Up Thanks to oversized mirrored sequins, a basic black tank top can transform from a simple staple into a statement showpiece in seconds. We love how stylist Kate Foley wears hers with white separates for a cool contrast. White Noise Fashion stylist Viviana Volpicella takes the bleached denim trend to the next level with these encrusted boyfriend jeans, while the addition of a stark shirt creates a cool top-to-toe tonal look. Smart & Chic Take a tip from blogger Tina Leung and give your classic LBD a summery spin with a little help from colourful crystal beads. Finish off with strappy sandals and pearl earrings. Pretty In Pastels If silver square studs and dazzling diamantés can’t amp up a simple pencil dress, we don’t know what will. Style blogger…

Singing sensation Ella Eyre is seriously having a moment. She’s graced the stage at Glasto and Lovebox, she’s playing at V Festival in August, she’s collaborated with massive names like Wiz Khalifa and Rudimental – their Waiting All Night single was number one in the UK, as well as enjoying chart success in Australia and Belgium. And as if all that wasn’t enough, she’s now just landed a campaign with Emporio Armani as the face of their new fragrance, Diamonds Violet – following in Beyoncé’s footsteps, no less (she was the face of the original Diamonds in 2007). We caught up with the Brit-born beauty on the rooftop of London’s Ace Hotel. Ella, your trademark hair is amazing… What’s your secret? It takes a hell of a long time to…

Thanks to the glossy frocks that she has donned to promote her film Paper Towns, Ms Delevingne’s transition from kooky, grungy model to slick movie star is complete.

If you’ve already started thinking about your autumn wardrobe (extra kudos to you!), then you need to plan a trip to New Look very soon. The high-street hotspot has treated us – and you lucky lot – to an exclusive first look at its new collection, and boy is it a good ’un. In fact, we’d say it’s the strongest drop in seasons. Want to know why? Well, you need only look at the endless list of trends being ticked off. Fringed waistcoats, long-line shirts and high-waisted jeans all tap into the bohemian influence that is so prominent on the catwalks, while floaty frocks and knee-high boots are all you need to channel 70s fever. There’s also a healthy dose of covetable coats and kitsch clutches. Not to mention the…

says Natalie Wall, social media editor at Etsy 'I’m naturally slim, and throughout my life people have openly discussed and critiqued my weight, so I understand what Cheryl’s going through. It made me feel really self-conscious when I was younger, but I’m more confident now and not afraid to say something. Commenting on someone’s slim frame is not OK. You just don’t know what a person is going through. If someone was genuinely concerned about your weight, they’d talk to you one-on-one, in a sensitive way. I’ve been told that people skinny-shame because they’re jealous, as being thin is often seen as more desirable than being overweight. But that doesn’t make it any less upsetting. When people criticise your body, they’re basically saying there’s something wrong with you. It’s a…

Everyone – and we mean everyone – worth their style salt loves Aquazzura’s 'Wild Thing’ tassel heels. From Solange Knowles to Jamie Chung, we’re beginning to lose count of how many fashionistas have stepped out in them recently. At £515 a pop, the originals are definitely a pricey treat for your feet, but online boutique La Moda has some uncannily similar versions for just £24.99. Even better, you can get them in red, white and classic black. We’ll be pairing ours with jeans for day, and a midi and a clutch at night. We’ve died and gone to heel heaven!…

There are pins for the perfect canapé, colour scheme (light grey with hints of orange) and links to sites that do the best invitation design. At first glance, this secret Pinterest board isn’t unusual – it’s a bride’s clear-cut vision for her big day. But if you saw the face behind the board, you’d be surprised to discover it belongs to a 33-year-old single man. Harry*, a graphic designer from Sheffield, is one of a growing breed of single men who love the wedding industry so much they’ve even got whole Pinterest pages devoted to the subject. 'I keep it totally secret, of course,’ says Harry. 'I’d be devastated if any of my mates found it. But, the truth is, I’m over 30, I’m attending loads of weddings each summer…

V-Line Shaping… The New Beauty Trend To Get In On Now It seems everyone is totally obsessing over their jawlines at the moment. So much so that clever beauty brands have caught on to the South Korean beauty trend of creating ‘V-Line’ wonder creams – which lift your chin to give your jawline a ‘V’ shape – as an alternative to surgery. Lumene Time Freeze Instant Lift V- Shaping Serum, £ 19.95 , is so easy to use – just pop it under your make-up and it’ll firm up drooping jowls in just a few weeks. Wonder-Buy Alert! An all in-one palette is always top of my holiday beauty list.

Suffer from fine lines? Or sagging skin? Forget Botox – health guru Elizabeth Peyton-Jones’ book, Cook Yourself Young, shows the key to looking more youthful is changing what we eat… For Fine Lines ‘Lines can signify gut stress,’says Elizabeth. ‘Try a four-day cleansing detox, taking out dairy, wheat, sugar, meat, alcohol and caffeine.’ And drink lots of water – at least eight glasses a day. Solution… Replace carb-rich foods with high-fibre, nutritious veggie meals, such as soup. Elizabeth recommends her healthy Butternut Squash And Carrot Soup. For Facial Redness Broken veins on our chin and cheeks can creep up on us as we get older, leaving us with a continuous flushed look. ‘This may indicate a lack of flavonoids – plant-based molecules rich in antioxidants,’ according to Elizabeth. ‘Eating…

The timeless denim jacket is likely to be your go-to all summer long, but to be really on the money this season, they have to be collarless. We love how Selena is tapping into two denim trends at once with her frayed style – try Mango and ASOS for the same raw-edged feel. And this wardrobe winner isn’t just for summer – come autumn, you can wear it over jumpers and jeans, too. Now that’s what you call an investment.…

Model Couple Alexa Chung & Alexander Skarsgård Proving that they’re still going strong, the gorgeous-looking couple were recently spotted striking their best model poses in New York. Rocking her fave Topshop dress, Alexa, 31 , and Alexander, 38 , (that could get confusing) were seen holding hands in the city’s Brooklyn Botanic Garden, before spending the day wandering the streets hand in hand. Rumours of the couple’s romance sparked in February this year when social media snaps appeared of them having breakfast together in NY after cosying up at an event the night before. Mr Loverboy Jesy Nelson & Jake Roche The Little Mix singer, 24, has been showing off a huge rock on her finger after accepting a proposal from her boyfriend Jake, 22, on stage at Manchester Arena.…

‘My ideal wedding day would be a traditional Jewish ceremony in a lavish London hotel – and the food would be nothing but amazing canapés. After all, they’re the best part of weddings, so why not make them a main feature? As you can tell, I’ve thought about my future wedding day a lot. There’s just one thing missing: the bride. My longest relationship was for two years, and for the past nine months I’ve been having fun dating. But just because I’m enjoying my single years doesn’t mean I can’t think about what I’ll do when I settle down. At first glance, my Pinterest account looks unused – I have a couple of boards about trainers and hairstyles I like, but I also have a secret one for my…

Bronzed Lips Move over matte, metallic is the hottest lip to wear right now. The sheen makes your pout look plumper, and it’ll brighten your complexion, too. Start with a brown-based lip liner – we’re loving Illamasqua Slick Stick in Alloy, £18.50 , an eye pencil that can also be worn on lips. Then lacquer on Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm in Cinn-ful, £19.50 , and finish with a little gold pigment dabbed in the centre.
