Grazia Issue 753의 목차

SEEING JENNIFER ANISTON and Reese Witherspoon together on the red carpet to promote The Morning Show, their new series for AppleTV+, fills my heart with joy. For such a high-profile, mega-budget series to be female-led (and not just on screen) simply would not have happened 10 years ago. Smart, self-assured, hard-working and (importantly) fun: Jen and Reese are the perfect Grazia cover stars. This week, Paul Flynn dissects their ‘power friendship’, which was sealed over ‘legendary’ dinner parties with their A-list squad. Just one question: how do we join? @rosamunddean / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

Gen Z’s backchat to baby boomers has bite “There’s a new put-down on the block – a Gen Z expression that sums up the weariness they feel when baby boomers condescend to them. (For the confused, Gen Z-ers were born between 1995 and 2015 and grew up on social media. Oh, you knew that? See, it’s not just the under-30s who get patronised...) ‘OK Boomer’ is the phrase and it’s used in response to elders who just don’t know how hard it is to be young, man. Admittedly, not all Boomers are to blame for the planet going up in flames, but Gen Z will live with the consequences, never buy a house, work until 105 and still get called lazy snowflakes. So let them have their comeback, OK Boomer?…

1. Up REGINA KING With particular reference to character Angela Abraham’s on-duty look in Watchmen (HBO), which is top notch (the outfit, and the show). 2. New in FOODGOD New identity of the man formerly known as Jonathan Cheban, professional best friend of Kim Kardashian. Nope. We’re not kidding. Dude changed his name. To Foodgod. 3. Up M I C H A E L KIWANUKA Singer-songwriter of 2016’s wondrous Love & Hate, whose album Kiwanuka is due for imminent droppage. Local boy* (*if you’re us. Which, to be fair, you probably aren’t). 4. Up SNOOP DOG A number of guests arrived dressed as him for actor Gabrielle Union’s birthday last week, among them: actual Snoop Dog (also dressed as Snoop Dog). 5. New in MARK BONNAR AND JAMIE SIVES Stars…

RECENTLY, I’VE TAKEN to infuriating my friends by not watching Succession quickly enough. I am, at time of writing, two-and-a-half episodes deep into the 20-part show. (I fell asleep during the third; this is not a review, I was just tired – I’d eaten a whole apple strudel and it sent me off.) Fair play to the critically acclaimed series set to dominate The Discourse for the next six years; it is good. But I am taking a sick delight in watching it slowly, like dawdling over a dessert while everyone else is impatient for the bill. ‘Have you got to the bit where Kendall raps?’ friends ask me urgently at parties, and I say: no. They try to show me memes based on the theme tune on their phone,…

IF YOU WERE in East London last week, you may have seen queues form around the block, fans waiting for a sighting of their idol. But the subject of their passion is not a flash-in-the-pan heart-throb or veteran pop star. It’s Millie Bobby Brown, the teenage actor-turned-muse, arriving for the launch of her first jewellery collection with Pandora. Still only 16, Millie became an icon the moment she arrived on our screens four years ago, as Eleven in Stranger Things, and has adapted to fame seamlessly. She’s a fixture on the red carpet, and has been spotted out and about with a merry-go-round of A-list friends. She’s close to Drake and Taylor Swift, hangs out with Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande and, she tells Grazia, has the ear of Jessica…

Last week, Jane Fonda missed a BAFTA event in LA, where she was scheduled to receive an outstanding achievement award. She wasn’t ill: she was getting arrested at a climate crisis protest instead. As she was led away in cuffs, she turned to a nearby camera and smoothly said, ‘BAFTA, thank you! Sorry I’m not there. I’m very honoured.’ Then again, Jane – a passionate and dedicated activist for most of her life, from opposing the Vietnam War to doorknocking Trump voters – is no stranger to brushes with the law… When she was arrested for the first time, in the ’70s, she slipped out of her handcuffs, halfway through her mugshot shoot. ‘It really surprised the guards,’ she recalls.…

BREAKFAST TELEVISION is as woven into Britain’s cultural fabric as crumpets: in the ’90s, The Big Breakfast was the backdrop to hectic mornings before school or college. In the noughties, we woke up to GMTV or This Morning and today, some of us start the day heckling Piers Morgan as he cosies up to Donald Trump et al on Good Morning Britain. Now, the long-reigning queen of Sky News, Kay Burley, has joined the early bird ranks with her own breakfast show in Westminster – and something tells me she hasn’t got any new job jitters. ‘I said to Piers the other day, “You’ve been the bad boy of breakfast for too long. You need to move aside, boy, because I’m going to give those politicians a hard time now,”’…

“I’ve been so overwhelmed by the reaction to my domestic abuse speech. I didn’t expect anything like it at all. I asked if I could be one of the first speakers, so that I didn’t have time to chicken out. Suddenly, the clip had millions of views, and people were commenting saying they’d been through the same thing. It’s been incredibly painful to share my experience with colleagues and the public, but it’s been cathartic too – my way of saying to him, ‘I’m not afraid of you.’ PHOTO: LNP ‘Parliament still feels like a very male institution’ The next step in the Domestic Abuse Bill is to try and legislate for women’s financial freedom. Currently, under the Universal Credit benefits system, payment to a single person in a household…

STREAMLINED The petite version of the bag measures a bijou 13cm x 20.5cm x 5.5cm. Small but perfectly formed. CITRUS CRUSH A playful look-at-me colour, this yellow is called ‘lemon drop’ and is balanced by the bag’s classic lock-and-key hardware.

PRACTICALLY EVERYONE knows someone who wears Chanel No.5. A perennially well put together friend, a high-flying former colleague or a loved one. But aside from the memories it evokes with a single spritz, there’s some serious storytelling behind the fragrance icon, which retains its title as the best-selling scent in the world almost a century since its conception. Originally created in 1921 by perfumer Ernest Beaux for Gabrielle (‘Coco’) Chanel – who’d asked for ‘a woman’s perfume with a woman’s scent’ – he eschewed the tradition of single-flower creations to combine multiple ingredients. The stars of the floral show? Jasmine and the elusive rose de mai, or May rose. One of the most precious petals in the world of perfumery, it is harvested for just three weeks in its namesake…

SEND YOUR STRAIGHTENERS on a sabbatical and turn your head to the latest hairdo making waves right now. Tight, defined, spiral-shaped curls are cropping up everywhere, from the catwalk to the street. ‘Hair has moved on from the poker-straight trends of the ’90s,’ explains hair legend Sam McKnight. ‘Embracing natural texture with a focus on healthy hair has seen waves and curls become synonymous with modern beauty.’ Whether it’s natural or styled, there are myriad hot tools and curl-loving products out there so every hair type can get in on the action. But how to put a spring in your hair? Sam shares his top tips and tricks… PHOTOS: MARCO VITTUR, JASON LLOYD-EVANS, JOURDAN DUNN/INSTAGRAM.BOUCLÈME: BOUCLEME.CO.UK.

THE VOLUNTARY incarceration experiment of reality TV is old news now. This year marks 20 since Nasty Nick unravelled on Big Brother. The Circle attracted loyal devotees, but not loyal enough to give it talking-point status. There is only so much that fame-hungry, telly-ready, ambitious young reality chicklets can bring to the screen in 2019. Love Island pretty much has that covered. In response, BBC Three offers us House Share, a promising flatmate saga. The show falls somewhere between a 24-hour feed of The Apprentice house, were the property not peopled exclusively by pricks, and one of those young person’s money diaries that fill the features pages of newspapers that dream of the return of blue passports and the abolition of avocados. Six flatmates from the regions are handed personal…

All credit to Katie Jarvis and her desire to not sit and wait for another high-profile role but to get on with her life. I admire her work ethic – she shouldn’t be vilified. I also love that she’s proud. This issue you also had another former actress who’s taken on a new job. It might be as a duchess but they both know that resting on your acting laurels is not the answer! Jules B SHINING A LIGHT I was so comforted by ‘I’m glad I was diagnosed with ADHD’ (28 Oct). I’m 34 and was diagnosed earlier this year. It has been revelatory, the missing piece that provided clarity and enabled the help I desperately needed. I was never able to understand why I found everything so difficult,…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES I AM MID CARDIO circuit, burpee-ing like fury, hurling my knackered body towards a mat saturated with my own sweat, boinging back up with an attempted flourish of an end-jump, then – Oh God! Back down again, then UP, my heart hatcheting my chest, my breath: jagged and grasping, blood pulsing so loudly in my ears I grow convinced I won’t be able to hear my trainer when he finally tells me I can stop, so instead, I look desperate askance at him – can it be over? Can it be now? – which is when I realise the mother** cker is filming me like some peeping Tom fitness perv. ‘Don’t stop!’ he yells, simultaneously whacking inane stickers over the iPhone evidence of my near-death exertions and…

PHOTOS: MEGA, PA, INSTAGRAM.COM/ADELE FOR THE QUEEN of heartbreak anthems, Adele has been looking so happy recently that she’s in danger of veering off-brand. But it is not as if she hasn’t had her share of heartache in the past year. The singer split from her husband of two years, Simon Konecki, in April, before filing for divorce in September. Since then, the 31-year-old has been linked with grime artist Skepta, whose birthday they spent together at London’s Crystal Maze attraction last month. Neither has officially confirmed the romance, but they’ve been close friends for a number of years, and both hail from Tottenham. Last week, Adele was spotted on a night out to celebrate Drake’s birthday at the Goya event space in LA, looking so joyful that she made…

WHEN KANYE WEST’S hotly anticipated album Jesus Is King dropped last week, the controversial rapper yet again divided opinion. The gospel album – which includes a track encouraging listeners to swap Instagram for church (try telling that to your wife, Kanye) – has been heralded as ‘epic’ by some but derided as ‘straight wackiness’ by others. Either way, the album further shows Kanye’s commitment to the church. Since January, the self-styled ‘rap genius’ has appeared weekly at Sunday Service – a music-focused, gospel-led ceremony featuring informal prayer and including celebrity guests, from Courtney Love to Brad Pitt. When it first launched as an invite-only weekly event in Los Angeles, it was the hottest ticket in town. But while Kanye, 42, becomes ever more involved with the church, there have been…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES SINGLES DAY, celebrated in China and parts of Asia on 11 November, might sound like little more than an unwelcome reminder of costly singles supplements and the endless slew of ‘when will you meet someone’ comments. But 11/11 (chosen because of all those 1s) actually celebrates being single. Created in the 1990s by a group of students keen to revel in the joy of their singledom, it’s now turned into a major shopping event (think Black Friday-level discounts) as everyone, single or coupled up, is encouraged to treat themselves. Yet in the UK we have just the deeply tragic-sounding Singles Awareness Day on 15 February, more reminiscent of a winter slump (it abbreviates to SAD) than all the wonderful things that deserve to be rejoiced in singledom.…

*NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. ILLUSTRATION MICHELLE THOMPSON ‘What matters is we’re still having sex’ Emma*, 36, from Newcastle, is as an accountant Picture the scene. It’s a chilly Sunday evening, and as the closing credits for the Strictly results show begin to roll, my husband and I leap off the sofa and quietly make our way upstairs, tiptoeing to avoid waking our sleeping children. A half-hour and two orgasms later and we’re done, until the following weekend. This didn’t used to be our sex life. This once-a-week shag on a Sunday night, timed around our favourite reality show (in the summer months it was Love Island) before passing out on separate sides of the bed. We used to be, excuse the cliché, like rabbits. Every night, several times a night, all…

Chocolate, without question! I live off Galaxy and dark chocolate. My friends are kind of shocked when they come to my flat and there’s no real food, just tons of chocolate. Coronation Street. I’d be lying if I said I watch it every week – I don’t really have time! – and it takes me about a month to catch up, but I love it so much. Can’t cope without it. My children. My eldest son is at university, so I miss him very much, but my youngest has just been on half-term. Spending more time with him was lovely.…

GETTING DRESSED became a lot easier when trainers graduated from off-duty option to wear-everywhere wardrobe hero. Today, the style-savvy woman no longer has to choose between fashion and function – she can have it all. Nobody understands the multitasking power of trainers better than Gola, the iconic British brand. This season, as ever, Gola has a pair of trainers to suit every style personality and occasion. Take the retro-inspired Bullet Pearl, the streamlined style is an easy way to soften up this season’s luxe leather pieces. With their subtle hint of glamour, courtesy of the metallic stripes, they even have out-out potential (bonus: you can dance all the night away – no excuses). In white and black, the classic Eclipse Spark kicks are made for those of a pared-back persuasion;…

LET’S GO OUT – all out. Party season is nearly upon us, so press pause on that box set, pass on the early nights and get set to hit the dance floor. The most glamorous time of the year demands an equally dazzling wardrobe to match. Wondering where to start? L.K.Bennett’s sensational new partywear collection is made for social butterflies. Bringing together the exquisite elegance of the 1930s with the glamour of the 1970s, prepare to take centre stage in sequin dresses that sparkle like a glass of champagne, fierce animal-print outerwear, and Studio 54-worthy velvet suiting. Wallflowers need not apply. Luxe fabrics and opulent jewel tones are joined by super-charged statement accessories; think metallic boots and sumptuous velvet clutches and dance-the-night-away courts. So what are you waiting for? RSVP…

No excuses fitnesswear explorer sir ranulph fiennes once said, ‘There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.’ I discovered he was correct a few weeks ago, as my friends and I headed to the Brecon Beacons to escape kids/work/husbands/housework for a few days. Normally bonding over tequila rather than trekking and more likely to wear Giles Deacon than a fleece gilet (one friend planned to wear leather leggings to walk in), we instead equipped ourselves with waterproofs. And despite battling the tail end of hurricane Lorenzo, it was one of the most exhilarating experiences we’ve had in years. So, don’t let the weather stop you exercising outdoors. With nature being prescribed by GPs as medicine, it will be the most rewarding exercise you do. But you do need the right…

For girls with curls… If you’re blessed with tight curls, focus your attention on definition. ‘Brush a wide-tooth comb through wet hair and apply a crème throughout,’ advises Sam McKnight. Bouclème’s Curl Cream [1], £19, works wonders for thirsty hair in need of a hydration hit with nourishing essential oils. ‘Next, take small sections and use your fingers to twist and smooth strands from roots to tips.’ Finish with a diffuse dry to add volume, and, if your curls need it, enhance with a curling tool. Just avoid brushing, as this will cause frizz. For straight strands… ‘Using a 13 or 16mm curling wand, wrap small sections of your hair down the length of the barrel,’ says Sam. ‘Hold for a few seconds before removing the tong.’ Then mist with…

‘I WORK LONG hours so I want to feel like I’ve slipped into a cashmere blanket the minute I’ve come through the door,’ says Abigail Ahern, the designer famous for creating spaces that combine cosy chic snugness with understated glamour. Her four-storey terrace in East London is the epitome of her look, the walls done in dark colours that make her feel ‘snug’ and filled with an abundance of texture, atmospheric lighting and faux plants. Abigail and her partner Graham bought this Victorian house in 2001. Having just returned from the States, they were looking for a renovation project. Abigail had been working for a US architecture and interior design firm, where she created glass-fronted homes overlooking the lakes of Michigan. She was keen to use the same principle in…

How To Be More Tree: Essential Life Lessons For Perennial Happiness , by Annie Davidson (£9.99, Michael O’Mara Books) Be more flexible. This could mean having a back-up plan, as you never know where you might need one. Give without expectation and always be open to change. Be more patient, and take time to reflect on your experiences. Be more positive. You’ve got to accentuate the good and eliminate the negative. We need different things in order to thrive at life and find our happy place. Be more tree! Stand tall like a tree and remember to be proud of what you do. Like branches, follow your own path and live in harmony.…

JESSICA BARDEN AS TOLD TO HANNA FLINT. PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK 27, ACTOR ON PLAYING SUPER MARIO BROTHERS, THE SUSPENSE OF WEEKLY TV EPISODES AND ASMR I’ve got a flat in Hackney with my best friend Fionn. He’s an Irish actor and the same age as my brother, so we have quite a sibling relationship. When I get home I see what he’s up to and discuss what we’re going to eat. I order a lot of takeaways because the reality of being busy and being young is that you often buy food and don’t eat it. I always have cereal and bread in the house but if we’re tired or busy we’ll order Wagamamas. If not, we’ll go and meet friends at the pub. I don’t work in the evenings. I…

I felt sorry for ex-EastEnders actor Katie Jarvis, who hit the headlines because she was working as a security guard (‘I shouldn’t have been shamed for taking a job to provide for my kids’, 4 Nov). She shouldn’t feel guilty AT ALL. Studies show children of working mothers go on to have more successful careers and more equal relationships. Going to work provides a strong role model for your kids. Katie is not ruining her kids’ lives by paying the bills. She doesn’t need to drag the chains of guilt along behind her – nor does any working mum.…

PHOTOS: WENN.COM HELENA BONHAM CARTER has played the virginal ingenue (Lucy Honeychurch), the witch (Bellatrix Lestrange) and the ghostly spinster (Miss Havisham), but, one might argue, never has costume been more integral to her character than her current gig as Princess Margaret. The Crown season three drops on 17 November and picks up slap bang in the middle of the ’60s. The promo still of Helena (above), wearing a flowered hat and ornate clip-on earrings, promises that the fashion will be every bit as tantalising as that worn by Vanessa Kirby (who played the Queen’s younger sister in the first two seasons) and her wardrobe of cat’s-eye sunglasses, checked woollen coats and satin ballgowns. Princess Margaret was always the more experimental dresser of the two. Vanessa referred to her, rather…

Celebs gets spooooooky! We know that Halloween has become a bit, well, much. But we can’t resist a good costume. This year, the A-list didn’t disappoint. Whether they went sexy or scary (is that really you Ariana?) there were plenty of treats, and a few tricks. All together now… ‘They’re creepy and they’re kooky/Mysterious and spooky/ They’re altogether ooky…’ SHE’S JUST LIKE US! Look how thrilled the Queen is to have found a dress with pockets.

A DECADE AGO, when I was 29, I genuinely thought I’d missed the boat. I wasn’t sure which boat or where it was heading. I just knew I was about to miss it and that I should probably be on board by now. Lots of my friends were on it, you see – and I didn’t want to be left behind. They were probably all on their third G&T by now, looking back to shore, pityingly. They wouldn’t be able to see me for dust, though. I was living in Hong Kong at the time, heading up a publishing company. It was a great job. It was a great life. The sun shone year-round, my friends all lived on my doorstep and hangovers were yet to become truly evil. I…

MAEVA GIANI’S FACE isn’t one that’s easily forgotten. Her cheeks, nose and temples are dotted with dense milk chocolate freckles. They might be the 25-year-old’s unique selling point now, but their proliferation was caused by an extreme sensitivity to the sun, a reaction to the medication she was prescribed after a bout of illness. ‘It was hard to see my face changing,’ she tells me on the phone from her apartment in Paris. It’s also part of the reason why she signed as a model in the first place. ‘I can help others who have issues or complexes with their physical appearance. When I got scouted, I was just starting to appreciate myself and what made me different. Now I have proof that what I’m doing helps. I get emails…

ADUT AKECH has been catapulted into fashion superstar status. She made her runway debut on the Saint Laurent S/S ’17 catwalk, was selected by the late Karl Lagerfeld to close Chanel’s Haute Couture show in 2018, and now finds herself firmly in the Valentino fold. And you can see why. Her wide smile and strikingly positive mindset have charmed the fashion industry, but there’s a grit and determination behind those incessantly photographed eyes that Adut says comes from her childhood experiences. Born in South Sudan and raised in Kakuma, a refugee camp in Kenya (before emigrating to Australia, aged six), Adut credits her early years with making her the hardworking person she is today – and giving her the confidence to speak out. This summer, for example, she was quick…

Your smile has been proven to be one of the first things people notice about you – so make it count. From soothing dry lips to switching up staples for more sustainable options, here are a few tried-and-tested favourites. As a general rule of thumb, choosing a lipstick with blue-ish, cool undertones can help counteract any yellow in the teeth – cheating a brightening effect.

■ Opt for neutrals Add in accents of warm colours – such as mustard yellows, mossy greens and deep reds – to your neutrals as they work particularly well against dark shades. Warm woods such as walnut also help to create a snug effect. Abigail loves to go dark to create a soothing, moody feel, painting not just the walls and ceiling but also the skirting, radiators and floorboards. She balances this with plenty of natural light, pops of rich colour and metallic touches to add sparkle and shine, especially juxtaposed against a dark wall. ■ Go big on texture It not only makes a room more interesting visually, it also creates ambience and soothing tactility. ‘The trick is to cause friction and put as many different materials in a…

PHOTO: MARCO VITTUR. FOOD STYLING: NENA FOSTER (NENAFOSTERFOOD.COM) THE IDEA THAT some foods are more glamorous than others is, of course, a con, particularly given that so many of the people widely believed to be glamorous don’t actually eat food. Even so, spaghetti and meatballs: glamorous. Beans: not glamorous. Acai bowls: glamorous. Apples: not glamorous. And so on. Which brings me to the fishball. What could be less razzle dazzle than a literal ball of fish? At my family’s local salt beef bar (salt beef sandwiches: glamorous – thanks to Meg Ryan), you are passed a fishball or two via some salad tongs while you wait. This is an act of generosity scarcely seen in a restaurant environment in 2019; it’s the opposite of charging extra for guacamole. And as…
