Lookの 26-Mar-2018 の目次

In Look magazine dated 6 March 2018, we printed a story under the headline ‘Meghan’s £400k Beauty Bill’ where we falsely stated that Meghan Markle had spent £400,000 on fashion and beauty preparation for her wedding, including her dress. We also falsely claimed that Meghan had spent a further £120,000 on a honeymoon for her and HRH Prince Harry. We made no effort to verify these claims with Ms. Markle’s representatives. We accept that these claims are all untrue and that there was never any factual basis for making these claims. We apologise unreservedly to Ms. Markle for any offence caused.…

ON BOARD WITH CORD Bare-leg season has arrived, but this M&S number will work just as well with tights. IN THE BAG The hue, the clasp, the shape: say hello to this yellow wonder. CHECK OUT H&M’s trews will work with a T-shirt and sliders for a warm weekend, but also chunky knits and ankle boots on cooler days. FILL YOUR SHOES Mules might be the star of 2018’s footwear roster – just think how hot they’ll look with a coral pedi come May. STAR SHADES Half price Ray-Bans. Enough said. DREAM JEANS Designer denim for one fifth of the original price? Right this way… DOES-IT-ALL DRESS As a kimono, as a cover-up, over a shirt in the office – the styling possibilities are endless. JUMP TO IT Wear with…

She might already be a model, TV presenter, and have her own fashion label, but Alexa Chung has added yet another string to her bow: face of, and designer for, Superga SS18. It all started when she became the brand’s ambassador back in 2011, but this marks the first time she has modelled and designed for the label herself. Speaking exclusively to Look, Alexa reveals, ‘I wanted to celebrate the Superga originals that I wear the most, but decided to make them off-white, with a little toe cap to make them fresh. Aside from that, I wanted the shoes to be playful and irreverent, so we have made some in terry towelling with backless slip-ons and cool satin high tops in sherbet colours.’ The result is so good that we…

She’s not real. Say hello to Miquela Sousa, better known as 19-year-old@lilmiquela. Scroll through her Instagram feed and she could be just another social media influencer. Weekends are spent at the coolest LA hotspots, brunching at the city’s Amara Kitchen or campaigning for transgender rights. Her skin? Flawless. Her freckles? So perfectly placed they could have been drawn on. But look closely and you’ll see – she’s a computer-generated influencer. In the Look office, our resounding reaction was how? Right now, she’s an internet phenomenon and there are theories. Some believe Miquela is a real woman – she posed in front of the Eiffel Tower, spends time at Venice Beach and has perfected her Instagram pose – but the image is doctored to make her into a computer-generated ‘character’. Others…

The Western wardrobe wheel has been spinning for a few seasons now. Wide-leg, high-waisted jeans are going strong, double denim is still a favourite, and lumberjack jackets are back for spring. This time around, Scandi brand Ganni is leading the way – with cowboy boots. Its £355 beauties come in silver, white and burgundy, and they were huge at Fashion Week last month. This is great when it comes to stylespo – cowboy boots aren’t the easiest of shoes to wear, let alone white ones, and now there are plenty of high street iterations to give a whirl. Mango’s boots are almost identical to Ganni’s, while we can hardly tell the difference between Topshop’s design and Maje’s black and white pair. After something more classic? Ease yourself into the trend…

Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer, £24 With a completely weightless feel that hydrates and blurs imperfections – this is the concealer for people who hate the feel of wearing make-up. Dot it on with the super-flexible wand and pat into place using your fingertips. Available in 12 shades, so you can find your exact match. bareMinerals barePRO 16-Hr Full Coverage Concealer, £23 This truly delivers full coverage without caking. Sweep in place after liquid foundation or before powder foundation and watch your dark circles disappear. It hydrates and protects the delicate skin around the eye area, too. Clever. Urban Decay All Nighter Concealer, £20 If you like Urban Decay Naked Concealer but wish it’d last that little bit longer, then you’ll LOVE this. It’s got 73% more pigments, meaning…

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask, £24.99 ‘This is my go-to blemish-busting mask. If my skin’s feeling dull, I’ll apply it all over; if I’ve got a stubborn pimple, I’ll apply it directly and leave on overnight. I’m on my sixth tube, I love it.’ @chloeburcham Origins Clear Improvement Mask, £25 ‘I use this activated charcoal face mask to clear congested skin and cleanse clogged pores. I apply it liberally to my T-zone once a week to achieve fresher, purer-looking skin that can breathe.’ @l.towns GlamGlow SuperMud, £42 ‘I’ve tried a lot of mud masks in my time, and I always come back to this. It blitzes breakouts, so I’ll use it overnight if I’ve got any angry-looking areas, but I only really need to apply it once a week to…

“There could be explosive revelations to come” When Zayn Malik had Gigi Hadid’s eyes tattooed on his chest, we thought the couple were for keeps. But in shocking news last week, it was revealed the pair have split after two years. ‘I’m forever grateful for the love, time and life lessons that Z and I shared. I want nothing but the best for him and will continue to support him as a friend that I have immense respect and love for,’ wrote Gigi. The news was confirmed by Zayn, who took to Twitter to post a heartfelt statement: ‘Gigi and I had an incredibly meaningful, loving and fun relationship and I have a huge amount of respect and adoration for Gigi as a woman and a friend. She has an…

When it comes to joining forces with fashion’s biggest faces, Boohoo.com has no problem securing top talent. First came Charli XCX, at the height of her Fancy fame. Then there was Instagram maverick (and Kylie Jenner’s BFF) Jordyn Woods. And now, the latest celebrity to loan her star power to the brand is in a sartorial league of her own. Zendaya, bona-fide A-lister, is not only the brand’s latest muse and model, but she’s given its new-season wares her seal of approval with a curated edit of 50 standout pieces. Usually found blazing a couture trail in Dolce & Gabbana or Ralph & Russo, Zendaya has embraced off-duty style with sunny yellow denim, sorbet stripes and so many jeans and a nice top combinations. ‘I wanted to create something effortless…

We’re always on the lookout for new hair inspo – Insta-stalking, celeb spotting and backstage at Fashion Week… If there’s a new hairdo trending, we know about it.

“I always think about what I’m wearing, even on chilled- out days” She’s a former popstar turned TV and radio presenter, beauty entrepreneur and model, oh, and she’s just been announced as an ambassador for women’s charity mothers2mothers. It’s a wonder that 29-year-old Rochelle Humes even has the time to speak to us today. The former Saturdays singer is actually feeling fresh which, again, is incredible, considering it was her daughter Valentina Raine’s christening and first birthday yesterday. This is pretty typical of Rochelle – she’s not keen on doing things by half. ‘A lot of my and Marvin’s family were there,’ she reveals, referencing her star husband of six years, former JLS-er Marvin, 32, with whom she also has four-year-old daughter Alaia-Mai. It’s something of a #couplegoals scenario, with…

SNIP YOUR SHEET MASK ‘Cut the side of the nose fold to the eye hole. This will allow you to wiggle the mask just so, getting it closer to the under-eye area and preventing any tenting.’ Lydia Thompson, Look Beauty Editor Starskin Behind The Scenes Bio Cellulose Second Skin Face Mask, £8.50 Look For Clever Packaging ‘Could packaging be affecting your product’s shelf life? The answer is yes! Jars are the worst offenders because they harbour bacteria and let air and light in, which can cause ingredients to deteriorate, while pumps are the most protective. Vitamin C and retinols can be affected by light, so keep them in a dark cabinet.’ Paula Begoun, founder of Paula’s Choice Towel Dry Hair Before Applying Conditioner ‘Excess water in your hair means the…

1 START WITH THE BIGGEST PROBLEM AREA Ideally beg, borrow or steal a garment running rail (try the Mulig clothes rail, £6.95, Ikea), turn off your phone and start emptying your wardrobe, sorting into categories such as trousers, skirts and tops. Then divide those into 1) faves, 2) haven’t worn for a year and 3) get rid. 2 EDIT DOWN Look at pile number two and decide – realistically, are you going to wear this in the next year? If the answer is no, then place in pile number three! You could get a friend to come round to help with this. 3 GET RUTHLESS Most of us are guilty of emotional attachment. ‘My mum/bestfriend/boyfriend gave me this, I have to keep it.’ Or: ‘I wore this on my birthday…

He once had an image of ex-girlfriend Perrie Edwards tattooed on his upper arm – and although it seems Zayn has since had this covered – fans are now asking what will happen to the star’s inking of Gigi’s eyes, tattooed on his chest. It seems to be a bit of a 1D trend – Liam Payne confirmed the eye he has tattooed on his arm is, in fact, based on girlfriend Cheryl’s. And he has his hand covered in a rose similar to the one she infamously has tattooed on her derrière. Basically, we don’t think it’s a good idea to ever have tattoos dedicated to your partner. It’s just too risky.…

We live in an age where we consume fashion more gluttonously than any generation before us, so why is it that brands, like Millie’s, fall into the red? The closure of a brand is often due to changes in society. Indeed, she was smart enough to know that a brick and mortar store would never give her brand a healthy survival rate so, from the get-go, Millie focused her energy on creating a digital-first collection. Clever strategy aside, the harsh reality is that other websites offer clothing of a similar guise (albeit of lesser quality) for a fraction of the price. Look at it this way: you’re going out on Saturday, how much do you intend to spend on an outfit? £25? £50? We have an insatiable appetite for bargains,…

FAYE-BULOUS 491 issues later and Chloé’s Faye bag is still going strong. Matalan’s incarnation is so good, we simply had to give it a mention – and in blush pink, it’s the perfect spring upgrade. MAKE YOUR MARC The Marc Jacobs Shutter has graced the shoulders of more street style stars than we can keep count of, and we can hardly tell the difference between the real deal and this Nobody’s Child’s bag. GAIA GANG Cult Gaia has taken the bag world by storm, and the Luna style is the latest to hit the high street. Very, very good. See what we did there? BUCKET LIST Marni’s bucket bag takes the trend to new levels, and Very’s design comes complete with all the same details, including adjustable straps and pastel…

“Astrology provides the tools for us to reach our potential” Knocking over a cup of tea, your laptop screen freezing, smashing your phone – sounds like an average Monday to us… Or if you’re one of the millions of women who read your horoscope daily, you know it’s because Mercury’s in retrograde until 15 April and it’s affecting everything. Horoscopes used to be huge in the ’90s. Back then, spending hours lazing in the park reading them out loud to friends was the staple of any Gen X teen. It was a definite way to find out if that guy in the year above really did fancy you, or if your mum was going to realise that you didn’t actually stay at Emma’s on Friday night. But our teen habit…

SLS is the chemical that helps soaps, shower gels and shampoos cut through grease in double-quick time. BUT ‘here’s the issue with it’, explains Marcia Kilgore, founder of Soaper Duper. ‘SLS molecules are like tadpoles. The head loves water, but the tail hates it. So when they come into contact with natural oil on our skin, the tail gets stuck. Not easily washed away, the SLS molecules build up, causing dryness and irritation, as the head soaks up moisture.’ So, if you find you suffer with little bumps on your scalp post-shampooing, or your skin feels dry and irritated after cleansing, SLS could be to blame. Thankfully, there are plenty of SLS-free products to try. Here’s just a few… Skincare Eau Thermale Avène Cleansing Foam, £12.50 harnesses a coconut derivative…

Bobbing Along Oasis’ new collection nails punchy prints for SS18, but the campaign to go with it is a little left wing. Actually shot underwater, it features a model flying a kite, shopping and – get this – walking a seahorse. We wonder how long she can hold her breath for... Dress, £58, Oasis MAC Makes ASOS In what is the most exciting and dangerous news ever, ASOS now stocks MAC products – and lots of them! Cult make-up on next-day delivery? Mother, may I? Halo Brows Thought bushy brows were bad? How about the reverse unibrow? Instagram has plenty of inspo, but we’re not so sure on the halo effect… Goodbye, Givenchy On 10 March, Hubert de Givenchy passed away aged 91. The designer who defined the golden era…
