Every year, the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards, in association with Next, is like organising a massive wedding. It’s huge; it’s hectic; yes, it’s stressful and wildly unpredictable at times. But for all of us who work on it each year, it regularly gifts us some of our most memorable career highlights. As we celebrate the event’s incredible 13th year, I thought it would be fun to look back over some of my own personal highlights. And let us all have a laugh at my noughties hair. Every year, the GLAMOUR Awards celebrate the women we love – as voted by you. In fact, you cast almost 700,000 votes this year, which is phenomenal. And every year, I find it so cheering and inspiring. Our winners are clever, funny,…

6am The bus jolts to a stop at Wembley Arena. On tour, we travel through the night and arrive at our next venue in the morning; it’s like being on a very un-glam cruise ship, crossed with Spice World. 6.30am Strong coffee, check the news on my phone and, out of habit, Twitter. Beyoncé still hasn’t followed me back. 7.30am I’m a bit more awake, so I start working on some music. On tour, my mornings are free, so I try to use the early starts to be creative. 9am To the catering van for breakfast. We have amazing caterers, so it’s easy to overindulge with a fry-up. But I make myself choose fruit and poached eggs. 11.20am I can be so lazy on tour, but I love workout DVDs.…

1 STYLE Opt for strip lashes, rather than individual bunches, for quick glam. Look for ones with a thin band – they have more flexibility, which makes them easier to apply. Wispies £5.49 Ardell are brilliant, even for lash newbies. 2 TRIM Roughly measure the false lashes against your eye, then trim to size from the strip’s outside corner, so they keep their natural shape. Professional Nail Scissor £12.50 Elegant Touch 3 MASCARA Apply mascara before your falsies so they blend more seamlessly. False Lash Telescopic Mascara £10.99 L’Oréal Paris separates your natural lashes for a perfect base. 4 GLUE Quality glue is key, and Eyelash Adhesive £4.99 Duo dries to a tidy, clear finish. Insider trick: let the glue dry to a tacky texture on the strip before applying,…

Stop scanning the job ads: you’re now a lot more likely to land your next role through networking. Don’t cringe: that doesn’t mean schmoozing at stuffy events, business card in one hand, cocktail in the other. Research shows up to 80% of vacancies are now filled through recommendations. “It’s win-win: employers find candidates at a lower cost by engaging staff in the search; jobseekers bypass the CV filtering and interview process,” says networking strategist Andy Lopata. Here’s how to crowdsource your next role: DRAW YOUR DARTBOARD Plot out your network by drawing a series of circles, starting with your closest allies, spreading out to other people you know. “Don’t assume that someone can’t help you simply because of their job, or their relationship to you,” says Lopata. “People have lives…

Beyoncé makes a lot of things look effortless. But the two-hour performances she does night after night are anything but easy. So before setting off on her Formation World Tour, she turned to her trainer, Marco Borges, to build endurance. Try these moves – Beyoncé’s moves, to be exact – and you’ll get a power boost too. Do the full routine three times a week to see (and feel) results in six weeks. UP YOUR ENERGY Beyoncé gets tough by boxing and swinging big, weighted ropes. “You run out of gas fast; by pushing through [that fatigue], you develop a ton of endurance,” says Marco. An equipmentfree option? Explosive push-ups. Get in a push-up position, bend your elbows, and lower your chest towards the floor. Press back up, pushing off…

Our first meeting felt like a reunion. I was standing with my back against the bar, half-painted by neon lights and talking to friends. Hendri Coetzee was at the edge of the darkness when our eyes locked for what seemed like a long time, as if in recognition. Neither of us wanted to interrupt the moment by breaking eye contact as he slowly walked towards me. We moved away from the drunken crowd of regulars. Right then, nothing and nobody else mattered. That first encounter with Hendri felt like finding a rare edition of a book I knew I’d love in a vast library. But after only a few pages, he was gone. I would not hear his South African accent again or touch his skin, which was always deeply…

It’s strange to think that the quiet, articulate woman sitting next to me on a sofa in Dalston is stratospherically famous. The real diva in the room is her 10-month-old dachshund, Martha, who runs around barking orders for cuddles. Tanya Burr, our December 2015 cover star and winner of GLAMOUR’s inaugural Manuka Doctor YouTuber of the Year award, has tapped into an area that many still don’t “get”. “It’s really exciting that this category has been recognised,” she says. “That’s huge. I’ve been doing YouTube for six years, so I’ve really seen how traditional media used to think, ‘Who are you? You just make videos in your bedroom.’” With a make-up range, and more than eight million subscribers across her channels, Tanya embodies a very modern type of star, but…

“Starting a new business at the age of 39, not knowing anything about retail, distribution, e-commerce, net sales, I had a huge learning curve...” So confesses Reese Witherspoon, our Entrepreneur of the Year, mastermind behind the one-year-old retail phenomenon Draper James, her lifestyle portal to the style, femininity and grace of her Southern roots in Louisiana and Tennessee. Named after her beloved grandparents, it’s Reese’s hands-on celebration of “authentic Southern style”, with clean, bold, classy designs across floral shifts, perforated tote bags, quirky accessories and traditional lace and pearls. The enticing home page even announces, “Come on in, y’all!” Like Reese, it’s a sparkling combination of charm, fun and positivity; a venture she financially backs herself – “It’s all my own money, all my own time” – and fortuitously timely…

“Say yes to everything.” When Emma Freud moved from West London to the West Village in New York, and started writing her weekly column for The Telegraph, this was her motto. “I have to write 700 words every single week, so I’m always looking for something to say yes to.” And the weirdest thing she’s agreed to? “Not wearing any trousers on the subway in January for The No Pants Subway Ride. Seeing five psychics in the space of two days. And there are many things that I’ve eaten that I probably shouldn’t have.” Alongside her Telegraph column, Emma is a delightfully unserious gadgets critic at Tatler magazine, director of Comic Relief ’s Red Nose Day, which launched in the US last year, raising $21m, and a script editor for…

Johanna Konta was just nine years old when she decided she wanted to be the number-one tennis player in the world. “I remember my dad saying, ‘Well, if that’s the case, you’ve got to work really hard.’” Judging by her success, that ambition looks set to come true. In the past 12 months, she’s become the British women’s number one, climbed to number 21 in the World Tennis Association rankings (from number 151 last year) and, at the Australian Open, became the first British woman since 1983 to reach a Grand Slam singles semifinal. “I was quite proud of that,” she says. “I’ve had some incredible experiences.” At her busiest, Johanna plays for four hours a day, plus two hours’ training in the gym, but the adrenaline of a match…

1 BANISH BREAKOUTS Keep skin squeaky clean “In warm, humid months, sebum, or oil, becomes more fluid and flows more easily out of the pores,” says skincare expert Dr Tom Mammone. “There is also an increase in perspiration, which acts as an emulsifier, allowing oil to spread easily over the skin. This could result in dense, clogged skin and blemishes. Use a non-clogging sunscreen and exfoliate to avoid this.” “I recommend using a gentle AHA product to exfoliate in the summer months, but minimise sun exposure and always wear SPF,” says aesthetic doctor Dr Maryam Zamani. 2 TACKLE POLLUTION Load up on antioxidants “Ultimately, higher pollution levels in summer cause inflammation in the skin and increase free radical exposure,” says skincare guru Noella Gabriel. “Ensure you’re thoroughly cleansing, toning and…

These days, it’s hard to be sure what a healthy diet means. All the food chat coming from social media seems to start with ‘no’ or end in ‘free’. And forget having friends over for dinner – you’d have to cater for so many different dietary needs, it would be easier to just throw a party in Whole Foods. Whether you want a slimmer waist, flatter abs, clearer skin, a calmer gut or more energy, the message seems to be that cutting out foods containing gluten, wheat, dairy or sugar – or banning carbs altogether – is the way to go. But is slashing a whole food type – sometimes a whole food group – ever a good idea? “If it’s medically necessary,” says Helen Bond, spokesperson for the British…

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when I say the words ‘pro wrestling’? Spandex? Hulk Hogan? Oily leather-skinned men strutting around while bikini models pull each other’s weaves out? Well, the good news is: whatever you think wrestling is, the truth is probably something very different – and I’m about to make it your new obsession. IT’S NOT A HOBBY, IT’S AN ADDICTION As an author, I work from home, which gives me endless hours of background TV time – time that could clearly be spent bingeing on Netflix shows or Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Unfortunately for Kimmy Schmidt and Kimmy K, there is only one thing on my TV: professional wrestling. It’s probably fair to say I don’t fit your idea of a wrestling fan.…

Roberta Benteler FOUNDER OF LUXURY ONLINE SHOPPING SITE AVENUE 32 AND STREET-STYLE FAVOURITE Packing is the one major headache that comes with holidays. You can spend hours cramming items in and still not find anything remotely useful to wear once you arrive. But there are a few skilled women who know what makes a well-packed suitcase; who are never seen panic-buying sarongs at the airport. GLAMOUR meets three – who travel so much that they’ve turned packing at speed into an art form – to find out what’s in their luggage. With their help, that daunting empty-suitcase-on-thebed scenario will be easy. Promise.

“My take on the world is quite dark,” Sharon Horgan admits. If you’ve seen her work, you’ll know what she means – whether it’s the chaos and loneliness of being single in her breakthrough, Bafta-nominated sitcom, Pulling, or the painfully honest picture of marriage and parenthood in her latest show, Catastrophe (both of which she co-wrote). These shows are dark, yes – but also real and insightful and very, very funny. “A good comedy doesn’t stick to any rules. You have to find your own thing and be true to that,” she says. “It’s a scary thing to do, because it could all go tits up.” It’s an approach that’s won her two British Comedy Awards, a Bafta Television Craft Award, and A-list fans including Reese Witherspoon (who raved about…

Going from academic non-fiction to writing the best-selling, rollicking erotic-thriller Maestra was a doddle for historian Lisa Hilton. “When you’ve spent 15 years writing about the European Renaissance, imaginary sex and violence has nothing on what they got up to.” The book cover may be suggestive, but any comparisons with EL James and Fifty Shades end there. Lisa’s heroine, the sardonic (and murderous) art-dealer-cum-bar-hostess Judith, is like a wittier Lisbeth Salander, albeit one with less compunction over killing. “In many ways she’s a pretty horrible character – but she’s really smart,” says Lisa. “Her ruthlessness, I hope, is tempered by her ingenuity.” Yes, she’s terrifyingly power hungry, but she’s also funny: Judith is queen of a deliciously dry observation. “She doesn’t take herself too seriously. I think earnestness is so…

“This time last year I was presenting an award to Ellie Goulding, now I’m winning a GLAMOUR award. It’s bizarre and amazing and lovely.” Clara Amfo isn’t one to bother playing it ‘cool’ – her excitement at being named our Radio Personality of the Year only just exceeds her joy at meeting Kerry Washington at last year’s after-party: “I was like, Olivia Pope is right in front of me!” Clara joined BBC Radio 1Xtra as the Weekend Breakfast Show host in 2013, before graduating to The Official Chart Show on Radio 1. In 2015, she took over from Fearne Cotton, who had presented the much-loved mid-morning show for six years. “I’d be a liar to say it wasn’t daunting – Fearne’s a badass – but the listeners [of which there…

Alien, Ghostbusters, Working Girl: Sigourney Weaver has starred in some of the most loved and genredefining films in pop-culture history. In her 40-year career (her first film role was a small part in Annie Hall), the three-time Oscar nominee and two-time Golden Globe winner has simultaneously kept her crown as a sci-fi queen, tackled critically acclaimed drama, turned her hand to irreverent comedy, and appeared in over 30 stage productions. Oh, and last year, appeared in an episode of ITV’s Doc Martin with Martin Clunes: “I’m a big fan of the show – Selina Cadell, who plays Mrs Tishell, is one of my oldest friends from drama school.” What’s the secret to such a prolific career? “I’ve worked hard my whole life to be offered different things. People always want…

“New formulas mean mousse is creamier and less sticky, so they give volume without hair looking or feeling like a perm,” says stylist Syd Hayes. Here’s how to make this power product work for you. Apply Like A PRO 1 “Squirt a golfball-sized amount into your palm, loosely scrunch it into your hair, but not so it all dissolves,” says hairstylist George Northwood. 2 “Always make sure you get an even, all-over application. This will make styling easier, as the hair is evenly prepped,” says Syd. 3 “Focus on roots and mid-lengths. Mousse really grips the hair and creates volume, so avoid dry areas (usually the ends),” says hairstylist Aaron Carlo. 4 “A pro tip for even application is to dip your comb into your mousse before running through your…

3 STEPS TO HEAT - PROOF MAKE – UP I love summer, but not what the heat and humidity do to my face, make-up sliding off being the main issue (not pretty when you have to look presentable in a meeting). Here are my tricks… 1 PRIME I find primer anchors make-up when the heat is on. Laura Mercier’s new one (Blemish-Less Foundation Primer £29) is perfect if you have oily, breakout-prone skin. 2 PAT These Micro. Mini Correct.Four £23 Beautyblender are ideal for blending in hard-to-reach areas, like under the eyes and around the nose, where make-up tends to move around. 3 FIX It might seem counter-intuitive, but spraying over with Fix’ Make-Up £24 Clarins not only refreshes your skin and make-up, but also locks it in place.

What happens when... …you cut carbs? WHY WOULD I DO THAT? Ever since your mum first did Atkins, people on a weight-loss mission have believed carbs are the enemy. “It’s easy to eat too many carbs, so if you cut down, you’re automatically slashing your calories,” says nutritionist Ian Marber. Think twice Carbs are brain food. “They provide the glucose our brains need to function,” says Bond. Ever felt ‘hangry’ or the brain fog descend at work when you haven’t eaten? That’s why. “They’re also essential for performance and recovery in exercise.” But before you reach for that croissant, remember not all carbs are equal. “Simple, refined carbohydrates like white bread, white pasta and white rice aren’t big on nutrients and won’t fill you up for long,” she says. “Plus,…

Finding your happy place may take time and experimentation. When I say ‘place’, I don’t mean a white sandy beach on a far-off deserted island. I mean a time and space where you can get into your creative flow; where you can feel blissfully calm, content and balanced. Maybe you already know exactly what that is for you and can happily relax into this activity whenever needed. When I feel anxious or stressed, I instinctively walk to my cookbook shelf and look for something to create. Every step of the cooking process fills my head with calm, melts away self-doubt and pushes my feel-good levels to the max. Measuring out the ingredients, stirring, grating, chopping, blending – they all send my busy brain into a catatonic state of ease. A…

Healthy, radiant skin really is #thedream, but daily stress coupled with late nights can leave your complexion looking tired and dull. Thankfully, Clarins has developed three innovative products that work together to get frazzled skin back to looking its best, with noticeable results in just seven days*. Phew. 1 Multi-Active Day Cream Want to get your glow back? Myrothamnus extract – a breakthrough botanical ingredient that targets the effects of stress – keeps skin smooth and beautifully radiant, while teasel extract fights skindamaging free radicals. 2 Multi-Active Night Cream Golden poppy extract, a new hero ingredient, nourishes and revitalises tired skin, while fighting fine lines to keep your face looking fresh (even if you don't feel it). ‘After one week of use, skin looks more toned, radiant and smoother*’ 3…

Has Netflix and Chill turned into just Netflix and Chill? You’re not alone. Research shows 65% of us watch TV in bed, and one in five do it to avoid having sex. De-press-ing. The good news? We can get ourselves in the mood, even if we’re too busy, knackered or not fussed. Here, GLAMOUR readers share what works for them… “When we need a kick-start, we use a cam girl on xxxpanded.com to talk to us for about ten minutes. She’ll tell my partner what to do to me, or visa versa. It works because it takes the pressure off.” Jules, 33 “Sometimes, it’s about being upfront with each other. I can’t – and don’t want to – have ‘swinging-from-thechandelier’ sex all the time. But instead of saying, ‘I’m too…

Nothing wakes your face up faster than a wide-eyed look. The trick? Lashes with curl, length and volume. Pair with a strong brow and you're good to go. Which is why we love ModelCo; best-selling mascara – check. Cult-status heated eyelash curlers – check. Brow-building gel and pencils – check and check. Get ready for eyes that pop.

Even the shortest lashes…

As St.Tropez’s tanning expert, Jules Heptonstall knows the importance of a gorgeous glow: “A tan isn’t just about a boost of colour, it’s about a boost of confidence too.” Thankfully, how you achieve a quickfix, long-lasting tan is easier than ever with St.Tropez’s newly updated (with no self-tan smell) wardrobe of choice: the Self Tan range. So, how to nail your best bronze? Jules shares his secrets. Q It’s always hit or miss when it comes to tanning my hands, ankles and back. What are your tips? A Ensure hands and ankles are moisturised. Use the residue tan on your mitt from your body application and lightly sweep over these areas. For your back, use St.Tropez Self Tan Classic Mist with 360° technology. Turn your mitt back to front on…

“The buck stops with you when you’re a director. You’re responsible for the whole shebang and you have to be confident it will make money. It’s not for the faint-hearted.” Elizabeth Banks is serious about the business of film-making. An Emmynominated actress and a TV and film producer, she made her feature-length directorial debut on the Pitch Perfect sequel, a musical comedy about an all-female acapella group that takes female friendship and smart satire and wraps it up in a big pop-culture bow. Having produced and starred in the first film, alongside Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson, Elizabeth made Pitch Perfect 2 a massive box-office success. The biggest opening for a comedy-musical movie ever, in the UK the film took £5m in its first weekend (five times the original film’s…

If there’s one show of the past year that’s prompted us to cancel all social plans and binge-watch Netflix, it’s Jessica Jones. Based on the Marvel comicbook character of the same name, and costarring David Tennant as a psychopathic villain, the US show is about a superheroturned-private investigator gifted with super-strength and the ability to jump up buildings in her trademark ripped jeans, biker boots and leather jacket. It’s had us – and 190 other countries – hooked, becoming Netflix’s most-watched new show, beating the record previously set by Orange Is The New Black. “I couldn’t wait to tell my girlfriends I’d won a GLAMOUR Award. It’s so awesome,” Krysten enthuses, in distinctly un-Jessica Jones style. “Oh, she’s way darker and more damaged than I am,” she laughs. “But we’re…

Jennifer Saunders likes to laugh – a lot. In the four hours I spend in her company, she barely stops, whether it’s getting to grips with the six-inch Manolos, playing with her whippet, Olive, or jamming air guitar to the Rolling Stones. “I always think, ‘Thank God I have a career that requires me to be laughing all the time,’” she says. She’s very good at making other people laugh, too (the International Emmy, Bafta fellowship and Writers’ Guild Award are testament to that). In the last 30 years, she has given us surreal satire in The Comic Strip Presents...; seven seasons of spot-on popculture-spoofing sketches in French And Saunders, a ratings-hit sitcom (starring women over 40) with Jam And Jerusalem – and, of course, the joy of Edina Monsoon…

“Comedy is a real science, I personally think it’s harder than drama. If I end up laughing a lot when we’re filming a scene, that’s usually a good sign,” says Rose Byrne. It’s a science she’s certainly mastered: from Get Him To The Greek via Bridesmaids, I Give It A Year and Spy, to Bad Neighbours (and its sequel), she has become a comedy ninja, able to bring a perfectly judged hilarity to every line. She’s a stealth scene-stealer – smart, subtle and incisively spot on with her timing. “You’re only as good as your co-stars,” she says, modestly. “I’ve been spoilt. The people I’ve worked with make it look so effortless; Seth Rogen, Russell Brand – Melissa McCarthy, in particular, always makes me laugh.” In fact, her Bridesmaids and…

Before Holly Willoughby became one of the most popular presenters on primetime TV, her career plan was to open a cattery in Brighton. “It’s still a good option if TV doesn’t work out,” she says. We doubt Holly’s going to have to resort to Plan B just yet; whether she’s cracking up on the This Morning sofa or taking a peek down Danny Dyer’s boxer shorts on the riotous Celebrity Juice, she’s the fun friend you can’t wait to go to the pub with after a long day at work. Indeed, Holly describes her work as “hanging out with a group of people you get on really well with, having a laugh,” – but she’s proud to be following in the footsteps of female presenters such as Cilla Black. “I…

Susan Sarandon is one of the most uncompromising women you will ever come across. Assertive without being aggressive, defiant but informed, ballsy and completely uncensored, she has learnt the art of knowing when to care passionately about a cause and, also, when not to give a fuck (namely when people are making a fuss about your cleavage-baring awards outfit on the grounds that you’re ‘too old’ – but more on that later). By the end of 2016, Susan will have appeared in over 100 films, from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Little Women, Dead Man Walking (for which she won her 1996 Oscar for Best Actress – she’s been nominated a further four times) and Stepmom. She can also claim to have invented the selfie: she and Geena Davis…

James Norton had his very own Poldark moment this year, appearing in nothing but his swimming trunks in Season Two of Grantchester. “There’s a lot more attention on the body beautiful in relation to men now,” he says, laughing. “As long as it’s tongue-incheek and playful, I don’t mind.” (Phew.) Every bit as charming as you’d hope him to be, James says he’s “genuinely touched and very honoured” to be crowned our Man of the Year. “There’s been a lot of teasing from my friends, though – they’ve found it particularly funny.” After period-drama success in Life In Squares and Lady Chatterley’s Lover, James has established himself as one of the most popular and versatile actors on TV, whether playing the dashing Prince Andrei in War And Peace, getting his…

Ruling airwaves to runways, the reggae movement is upon us. A new generation of artists – including Jamaica’s brightest young star, Chronixx, and US group Major Lazer – has put it back on the map, with the fashion world following suit. Sure, Bob Marley might seem like an unlikely style icon, but fashion loves a style rebel – and his look is one that’s been inspiring streetwear since the ’60s. (Yep, those tracksuits and knit beanies and military jackets... they’re all back for more.) Take Tommy Hilfiger’s spring show: a recreated Caribbean paradise. In attendance? Plenty of green, yellow and red crochet, plus a burgundy tracksuit reminiscent of a style Marley wore in the ’70s. Meanwhile, Gigi Hadid’s catwalk turn was the final piece of reggae-style inspiration that we needed,…

From breakage to thinning, we all have our hair hang-ups. How we deal? With every product ever created, mostly. But how we deal longer-term? Easy: extensions, as GLAMOUR discovered with Great Lengths, a world leader in premium quality hair enhancements. As someone whose biggest complex has always been her fine, wispy hair, designer Hannah underwent the ultimate transformation in the quest for a confidence-boosting revamp. And aiding her look were GL’s 100% ethically sourced human hair extensions. Not only do they magic up length, but they add volume and colour, too. And better yet – no damage. The outcome? A voluminous finish and any preconceptions dispelled – and we call that a win-win.
