Art attack “My illustrator friend, Ted Pearce (tedsdraws.com), made this Lauryn Hill portrait for my flat.” Bookshelf gem “When I first read White Teeth I couldn’t put it down. It made me love to read again.” “I adore Annoushka jewellery.” Gold chain from ©450, pendants from ©350 annoushka.com Dream designer “Stella McCartney’s clothes are beautiful, she knows how to dress a woman’s shape. Her S/S15 collection is absolutely gorgeous.” Nike Air Pegasus ©65 at schuh.co.uk Style addiction “It’s embarrassing how many Nike trainers I have - my orange and pink Pegasus are my current favourite.” Fashion crush “Solange is my spirit twin. She looks wicked all the time - and she wears a lot of yellow, like me.” “Rum and ginger beer is my tipple - ideally at a bar…

You can’t think of the ’80s without thinking of Katharine Hamnett’s iconic, 1983 slogan tees. As much an activist as a designer, her stark black on white graphics and succinct protest pleas – Ban Pollution, Save The Whales, Education Not Missiles – bucked the ‘more is more’, kaleidoscopic trends of the time and tapped into the mood of angry ’80s youth. But when Wham! wore her Choose Life design in their Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go video, one of the biggest moments in pop was made. This month, Hamnett launches an updated range, in association with the Pesticide Action Network (PAN), which promotes sustainable alternatives to poisonous pesticides worldwide. Katharine, always a trailblazer, has supported them since 1989 and now we can while wearing her designs. Alongside the Choose…

(with thanks to GLAMOUR reader @HarrisonAmy …if you only wear your sexy underwear when everything else is in the wash …to break out in a cold sweat when you try and remember where your passport is …if texts with your best friend consist of emoji riddles that make sense to no one else …to feel seriously tense when someone says, “You know who you look like?” …to say ‘yes’ to every canapé. They’re tiny. And you’re hungry …to be unprepared for an answerphone and leave a rambling, nonsensical message, without saying who you are …if you skip the mile-long cloakroom queue and just bundle your jacket in a corner …if organising that group holiday is becoming way complicated. At this rate, you’ll be jetting off in 2018 …to be slightly…

We know what a stale romance feels like, but when it comes to friendship fatigue, how do we spice things up? Sociologists at Manchester University recently revealed that platonic friendships regularly become “stressful, infuriating and even damaging”, yet we cling to them because women find it “more traumatic to break up with a friend than with a lover”. But you don’t need to ditch your friends – with the right tools, a make-do-and-mend approach can revolutionise your social life. SHE ‘PSYCHO BABBLES’ You’ve grown out of obsessing about texts from guys and second-guessing what your boss ‘meant’ by that email. But your friend hasn’t, and you’re sick of playing sounding board. Fix it “When it comes to support, no one expects a friendship to be equal every minute of the…

Cancer (June 23 – July 23) Whether it’s colleagues, family or friends, you can’t keep the peace when they’re spoiling for a fight. But you refuse to take sides. Events around the 11th will knock some sense into them. Meanwhile, a lover is feeling insecure – ask them what they need to feel reassured. Leo (July 24 – August 23) You’re not one to beat around the bush, but a sensitive situation at work requires tact. This is one time when treading carefully is the best thing to do. Keep your diary free on the 10th for a last-minute invitation that you won’t want to miss. Virgo (August 24 – September 23) A career move is logical, but liking the people you work with matters just as much. Mull over…

There’s nothing like that feeling of golden, sun-kissed summer skin. But going red, feeling dry and the threat of premature ageing means we all reach for the sun hat and slap on that thick suncream like it’s nobody’s business. And, of course, enjoying the sun responsibly is the right thing to do, but everyone’s skin is different and so shouldn’t your suncare be too? We checked in with three GLAMOUR girls to find out what they want from their summer skin regime. The answer? A very high SPF (we’re talking 50+) for protection from damaging UVA and UVB rays, but also a product that’s a part of their actual beauty regime. Well, with the Ideal Soleil range from Vichy all our summer prayers have been answered. Each product in the…

JUST SAY NO TO NOTIFICATIONS Those alerts every time you get an email or a text message are a serious time sponge. A study by Jonathan Spira showed that every time we get interrupted, it takes ten to 20 times the length of that interruption to refocus. So, if you spend 30 seconds skimming an email, it’ll take you at least five minutes to re-engage with what you were doing beforehand. Reconfigure your settings now, so you control your tech, rather than letting it control you. BEWARE TO-DO LISTS Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed, warns against ‘to-do list tyranny’. “We believe we have to do everything on the list before we can earn leisure time. But the list never ends.” Try having two lists: a ‘to-do’ one and a ‘could-do’ one…

Festival season is a highlight on the GLAMOUR calendar. We love the cool bands, camping out with friends and showing off our rock-chick wardrobes. But swapping our home comforts (and bathrooms!) for hot tents and no showers? Not so much! The good news is that a little bit of clever packing can make your festival experience more glam than grunge – it’s all about taking the essentials that will keep you feeling comfortable and confident on the go. That’s why Always Dailies Pantyliners are at the top of our must-pack list. Their thin absorbant core is designed to keep you feeling clean, dry and comfortable so you can enjoy every moment – with confidence. And because they’re individually wrapped, you can pop one into your bag to use when you…

Infrared-A rays make up 30% of the sun’s rays BE SUN SAVVY • Along with wearing Ladival sun protection, which protects against both Infrared-A and UV rays, invest in a wide brimmed hat and UV protected sunglasses. • Stay in the shade during the heat of the day (11am-3pm) and reapply sunscreen regularly, especially after swimming. • When it’s hot, stay hydrated (and that’s water, not Mojitos). “By choosing a sunscreen that also includes Infrared-A protection, people can protect against 4 times more of the sun’s damaging rays.” Justine Hextall, Consultant Dermatologist 80% of us are unaware of the serious damage Infrared-A rays can do to our skin* * One Poll survey of 2,000 UK adults, November 2014 New bikini, check.

Be a natural ORGANIC MATERIALS + A MINIMALIST PALETTE = YOUR PERFECT LAID-BACK SUMMER WARDROBE…

The question I get asked more than anything is, ‘how to get glowy skin’, and while I’m lucky that my skin is pretty good to begin with, it’s also something I work at. I’ve always been dedicated to my skincare routine and I have a system – it’s not complicated, but I never, ever skip it. Now, I don’t have perfect skin every day and that’s where make-up comes in – yes, flawless skin can be created. Here’s how. THE SKIN I don’t buy into the whole no-pain, nogain thing – I prefer the gentle approach CLEANSE I love make-up, but I NEVER leave it on overnight. I have a double-step approach: 1) I remove make-up with a micellar water (my faves are Sensibio H20 £9.99 Bioderma and Micellar Cleansing…

DO YOUR NAILS A secret manicure is pretty impossible – the smell’s a dead giveaway for starters. But you can fx snags, smudges and even groom your cuticles at your desk with SOS Pen £12 nailsinc.com – the nail kit cunningly disguised as a pen. “Use the nail file to smooth out a broken nail, neaten up your polish with the corrector nib and use the angled cap to gently push back your cuticles,” says celebrity manicurist Vanessa Williams. GIVE YOURSELF A FACIAL OK, we’re not talking face masks and exfoliators here. Just tap a little Pure Hyaluronic Serum £33 pestleandmortarcosmetics.com onto your cheeks to instantly hydrate and freshen up. For breakouts, flaky rough patches or that itchy tightening caused by office air-con, Ibuki Multi Solution Gel £30 Shiseido is…

The Chob The bob is back (as proven by Alexa Chung, above), but it’s messier, choppier – it’s the Chob. “The choppiness makes it softer,” says Alexa’s stylist, George Northwood. It does take some styling, but luckily it’s easier than you’d think. “Rough-dry your hair, head flipped forward,” advises George, “then tong random sections. Rub a little Powder Grip 03 [£13.95 Redken] through lengths for lasting texture.” THINK PINK Nicole Richie went full-on fuchsia, Sienna Miller (right) added a subtle streak of rose-blush to the front of her blonde bob. Whatever the hue, pink is still very much on the colour agenda. You need: Colour-Freedom Ultra-Vibrant Non-Permanent Hair Colour in Magenta Dream £6.99 Knight & Wilson, mixed with Colour-Freedom Pasteliser Deep Conditioning Professional Formula £6.99 Knight & Wilson. OMBRE WITH…

Festival season is here, but the lack of female acts making it onto the bill hasn’t gone unnoticed – with some line-ups featuring only a handful of women. Festival bookers, you can do way better than that. In the meantime, these are femalefronted acts that you can catch this summer. GIRLPOOL The duo’s bluesy Americana-meets-shouty indie rock created a buzz at this year’s SXSW. Oh, and Bill Murray is a fan. See them End Of The Road Festival (September 4-6) SHURA Aka Aleksandra Denton – her emotional dance-pop and husky vocals landed her on the BBC Sound of 2015 longlist. See her Latitude (July 16-19) WAXAHATCHEE Frontwoman Katie Crutchfield has been dubbed ‘Lena Dunham with a guitar’. Expect a folksy, Cat Power vibe. See them UK tour (June 10-20), Green…

ZOE KRAVITZ Stars in Mad Max: Fury Road, 30 years after the third instalment of the series. In the post-apocalyptic Aussie desert, with petrol and water in short supply, Tom Hardy is the surly ‘Mad’ Max. Kravitz plays a punky kid who needs to cross the desert with Max’s help. Expect extraordinary highspeed stunts – the budget was over $100million. BRITT ROBERTSON Tomorrowla is another ‘moody teenager chosen to save the world’ film, but it’s an exciting prospect thanks to the casting of Britt. The 26 year old had almost threedozen minor film and TV roles before this month’s The Logest Ride, but Tomorrowla is the big time, a full-blown sci-f blockbuster where her character travels to a fantastic parallel world, alongside George Clooney. MICHIEL HUISMAN It wasn’t going to…

At last, our long-awaited summer holiday is nearly here – which means it’s time to start thinking about beach beauty. So we asked the experts (including gorgeous Victoria’s Secret model Bregje Heinen) for their top summer prep tricks, from hair to skin, make-up to tanning. The result? Everything you need to feel awesome when you hit the sand. YOUR BEST skin Does your skin freak out as soon as humidity hits? “There tends to be more moisture in the air in summer,” says therapist Abigail James. “Some skins are definitely more sensitive to climate change than others, and they react.” We also perspire more, which can lead to breakouts. Here’s how to adapt your routine: DOUBLE CLEANSE “Some people can have issues with sunscreen, which can block pores and bring…

Had anyone been listening to me as I walked down Wells-next-the-Sea beach in Norfolk last May, they would have thought I was about to tell someone some dreadful news. I was talking out loud to myself: ‘I found a lump in my breast; I’ve had a biopsy; it’s an aggressive breast cancer and...’ I went on describing what would happen if I ever had to tell my loved ones that I had breast cancer. I didn’t. But as someone who carries the faulty version of the BRCA2 gene, which raises my risk of breast cancer, I had up to an 80% chance of developing the illness at some point. By the time I returned to my car, I had made a decision. I was going to have both my breasts…

WHERE TO STAY IN AUSTIN The GLAMOUR team stayed at the Four Seasons (fourseasons.com/austin). It’s beautifully located, right by Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin, so gorgeous views are the hotel’s selling point (book a room with a lake view if you can). The restaurant, Trio, is (quite rightly) critically acclaimed for its incredible steak and seafood. And inside the rooms, we especially loved L’Occitane bath products and customisable mattresses – can we move in, please? WHEN IN MARFA… We escaped to a true historic gem, the Paisano (hotelpaisano.com) – a boutique hotel on the main strip in Marfa where James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Dennis Hopper all stayed. Grab a Margarita at Jett’s Grill and enjoy the enchanting backyard fountain. When it comes to shopping, try El Cosmico for…

“I adore Taylor. She embodies everything we champion at GLAMOUR” For some time now, I’ve thought that something that really ought to exist is The Book Of Taylor. Even Lena Dunham once told her, “I just want to let you know that your albums have gotten me through a lot of very bad times.” She really does have an emotional wisdom that I admire, and millions and millions of album sales would indicate that others agree with me and Lena. I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, but the fact is, I adore Taylor Swift. She embodies everything we champion at GLAMOUR. She’s smart, talented, powerful, ambitious, gutsy and a thoroughly lovely and decent human being. I’ve seen her make awestruck fans feel instantly at ease with a genuine compliment or…

"I get a wake-up call from some drunk guys singing Jolene" 6AM I’m an early riser and don’t need an alarm as I’ve trained my body so well that it wakes up at six anyway. I live in central London, so wake up to the sound of people jogging past my window – which makes me feel like I should be doing something – or on their way to work, which means I’m running late. 6.30AM I have a protein shake and check my emails and then walk to the gym. I do 30 minutes of running while listening to something shouty, like Marmozets, to wake my body up and then I do weights, before a sauna and steam. 9.50AM Back home to pick up my scripts and walk to…

There’s nothing wrong with being on top of your game, but the line between organised and control freak is razor thin. “People who micromanage are effcient, but they often need power over every detail of life – and that’s impossible,” says life coach Sloan Sheridan-Williams. Issues with control stem from anxiety: ‘If I don’t fnish this task, I’ll get fred’; ‘If I don’t organise a catch-up, my friends will ditch me.’ “Trying to control situations, and other people, instead of targeting your own irrational thinking, can end in high stress levels and damaged relationships.” The good news? You can rein it in. DITCH THE EGO Do the one thing you’d never imagine and put a friend or colleague in charge of a project, party or trip. “If you micromanage every…

EDUCATION 1995-1999 BA in Music (Hons), Royal College of Music “I started playing the flute aged nine. I had a really good teacher who recognised my talent and pushed me forward. I didn’t go to a private music school, so getting into the Royal College was a big deal. At first I was intimidated – students practised eight hours a day, but I liked partying too much! I was later voted in as Social Secretary.” CAREER EXPERIENCE 1995 Steward, Royal Albert Hall “While studying, I worked as a steward at the Royal Albert Hall, where I showed people to their seats and got to sit in on the shows. I remember looking up at Nelson Mandela during a 1996 concert held in his honour, and thinking, ‘I’m so lucky to…

Nothing could have prepared me for the horror of that room. Seeing Johnathan strapped to a gurney, a tube stuck in his vein. My eyes fill with hot, angry tears and my breath catches as our eyes lock through the glass. I know he can’t hear me, but I defiantly say it anyway: ‘I love you’. I’m surrounded by people, but the world shrinks to just me and him when he says it back. Hearing his final apology to the victim’s widow, I feel faint. Surely there will be a last-minute reprieve? Then I see a single tear slip down his cheek. “Warden,” he says quietly, “I’m ready.” I’m 20 years old and about to watch the love of my life die. I had a pretty tumultuous upbringing and tried…

Whether it’s a weekend away or training for a triathlon, if we make time to do the things we truly love, our lives will become more fulfilled. Leisure doesn’t mean laziness. Start seeing it as key to a well-rounded life. Keep these benefits in mind next time you’re battling to leave work on time… YOU’LL GET THAT PROMOTION We often assume the more hours we work, the more dedicated we appear. But, “Bosses now look at output rather than time spent working. Working long hours can be a red flag – some leaders see it as having poor time-management skills,” says Karen Meager, psychotherapist and author of Real Leaders For The Real World. YOU’LL BE HEALTHIER Working evenings and weekends makes you more likely to suffer from stomach pains, headaches,…

OK, now you know the theory. But how do you keep it up? Avoid going cold turkey. “Don’t try to make too many changes at once,” advises Karen Meager. “Pick something, then build on it.” And monitor your progress. “Review it once a month, as work demands have a natural habit of creeping back up the priority list,” adds Professor Cropley. Need an incentive? We’d love to know what you do with your newly acquired YOU time: show us on Instagram, using #glamourtimemakeover.…

Gigi Hadid She’s one of the biggest new faces in modelling. The reason people love seeing Gigi in ads or shoots is the same reason I love hanging out with her: she’s exciting. She has the quickest wit of anyone I know. And best yet, she’s real. Odeya Rush I met Odeya on the set of The Giver, her first major starring role. She has a poise beyond her years, but still has fun like a normal teenager. She reminds me of what it must have been like to be around a classic Hollywood starlet. Look out for incredible things from her, just you wait. Amandla Stenberg She lifted, then broke, our hearts as Rue in The Hunger Games. Since then, she’s developed a savvy fashion sense and a keen…

Chris Pratt is happy with his life. And why wouldn’t he be? Over the past two years, his leading-man career hasn’t so much launched as taken off, cleared the atmosphere and colonised another planet. The combined box-office take of the two movies he starred in last year (The Lego Movie and Guardians Of The Galaxy) is in excess of $1billion. Both have sequels in the pipeline. And now he’s helming another gigantic franchise in Jurassic World. Not bad for a guy who was content with playing the leading man’s wisecracking best friend. “I’ve always been very happy,” agrees the 35 year old. “Happiness has never depended on success in work for me. We were often broke [growing up] and as kids always laughing our asses off.” Home was Washington State,…

My dream role is anything where I get to learn something I’m not familiar with,” announces Stacy Martin. “Like Russian, or Flamenco dancing.” A bit of moss drops out of her hair as she talks, a remnant of a day shooting Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection in front of an organic backdrop, and she starts laughing. Stacy is nothing if not game. The 24-year-old actress shot to fame – or should that be infamy? – in Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac: Volumes 1 & II. The controversial films were an account of the erotic life of a woman from adolescence to age 50, and the main characters’ ‘porn doubles’ actually had sex on screen. Stacy and screen legend Charlotte Gainsbourg played the lead character, Joe, at different stages of her life. “It…

Have you always thought the right nude depends on your skintone? Think again: “You need to look at your natural lip colour,” says Liz Pugh, Avon’s celebrity make-up artist. The amount of pigment in your lips plays a huge part in finding your perfect match. FOR DARK LIPS... TOP TIP “Play with red-brown undertones,” says Bareminerals international make-up artist Sarah-Jane Froom. The darker your skin, the darker your nude can be. TRY Signature Lip Colour in Dusk £14 uk.lizearle.com (1); Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Fall In Love £18 bareminerals.co.uk (2); Shine Lover in 212 £21 lancome.co.uk (3) FOR ROSY LIPS...

GLAMOUR MUST-READ HOT FEMINIST by Polly Vernon This is for anyone who’s ever felt like she’s not a ‘proper’ feminist because she likes nail polish and cares about equal pay. Vernon’s manifesto-cum-memoir argues that women shouldn’t judge each other, a love of fashion doesn’t cancel out one’s feminist credentials, and we should pick our battles. A book that’ll launch a thousand Twitter rages. SISTER NOON by Karen Joy Fowler Following We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, KJF’s previous novel is now being published for the first time in the UK.

Even the most enthusiastic make-up lovers will feel the need to ease up their routine for summer. The change of temperature and light gives way to a mood of freshness and simplicity. In make-up speak, this translates to less camouflage. “To me, summer is about keeping the skin as bare as possible and working with creamy textures, easy to apply with your fingers,” says Burberry Beauty creative consultant Wendy Rowe, who created the looks on these pages. And as demonstrated by Kenyan-born Brit super beauty Malaika Firth, pared-down need not mean boring. the Flushed LIP Unsurprisingly, a bright lip is a summer staple. “It’s just so unfussy and easy,” says Wendy. The new attitude towards a crisp pout: sheer it out to a matte stain and wear with an otherwise…

“My breasts are insignificant” Age: 26 “They are so small, I barely noticed them developing. I wanted bigger breasts when I was at school. My friend had a lovely pair in comparison to mine, and I was always very jealous of them. Mine are an AAA, or less. I wear a bra to bulk out the look of the boobs, and I have to wear very high tops, because otherwise there’s a great gaping hole and people can see down my top. I’m not sure what my partner thinks of my breasts. He’s made reassuring comments, probably as a reaction to my lack of confidence. You know that they’re small. I know that they’re small. He knows that they’re small. So, it doesn’t even have to be acknowledged. But I…

1 “Kim-Kar-who now? I don’t really watch reality TV.” Outside of the hours of 5pm-11pm Sunday to Friday. 2 “Of course I don’t mind if Andrea comes.” Yes I do. I hate Andrea. I don’t get why you need friends other than me. 3 “Your baby did his first solid stool? Wow, that’s fascinating, tell me more about his bowel movements.” 4 “Sorry, I’ve been having problems with my emails recently.” The main problem being that you won’t stop emailing me. 5 “I’m really into foreign films.” America is a foreign country, right? Case closed. 6 “My ex? I don’t even think about him anymore.” *Spends night in guessing the password to his online wedding photos and eating a wheel of Brie like a sandwich*. 7 “This? New? Yeah, I…

I’ve been angry and frustrated reading in the news about girls leaving the UK to join ISIS, but I now feel sorry for them. I understand how they have been manipulated and I hope the best for them. Thank you for giving me a new perspective. Alice, by email This month’s star letter wins a Bose Sound Link Colour Bluetooth speaker worth £120.

Lorde Becoming friends with Ella was like immediately having a truth serum added to my life. If I’m conflicted about something and I need a clear-cut answer, Ella is the one I call first. There is no grey area with her. There is yes or no, right or wrong, this or that. Life is so much easier when you have a friend who shoots straight. And she’s so intelligent, her advice is always spot on. Ina Garten My comfort zone when I get home from touring is to relax with one of Ina’s Barefoot Contessa episodes. Ina shows you not only how to cook, but how to create ambiance for your guests. She shows you how effortlessly she entertains friends. People who live beautiful lives inspire me to fill mine…

“Pushing my atheism is no better than people pushing religion on me” A few years ago, I was at a dinner party. There were around eight of us. Beef Wellington, I think it was. All was going swimmingly until two things happened... one member of the party mentioned she was a Christian, and I got very drunk. BOOM! As a drunk atheist, this was irresistible for me. I swooped straight in with the, ‘BUT WHAT ABOUT SCIENCE?!’ argument, and the entire night turned into a heated debate about faith. I beat down any suggestion that God is real, and the lovely Christian girl did her best to defend what she believed in. I woke up the next morning feeling terrible for picking a fight with someone who didn’t ask for…

(May 22 – June 22) Happy Birthday, Gemini! Cut a slice of cake and read your personal preview of the month – and year – ahead Love You’re in a dilemma: you want intimacy and commitment, but at the same time you’re scared of losing your freedom. How do you balance the two? Talking to a friend who’s been there and done that will help you figure it out. Work Positive feedback is important to you – and you don’t feel your efforts are being appreciated. Second-guessing what your boss thinks of you is pointless. Ask for a meeting and be ready to highlight your hard work. Friends You love your friends, but it feels like your social circle could do with some new additions. With Uranus in your friendship…

Boys only want love if it’s torture… But real men want you to text them back. Honestly. The way you can tell the boys from the men is how they react when you don’t play games with them. A boy will become bored. A man will want to get to know you more. Everyone wants a challenge, but you shouldn’t have to completely manipulate your communication style in order to seem like one. Your conversation, your outlook, your wit, your accomplishments, your charisma, those things should challenge him. Any MAN knows that if you’re showing him all of these qualities, you could just as easily show them to someone else if he plays games. You know what they say, play games with a girl, she’ll chase you. Play games with…

The show The Americans (S2, ep1). The act 69 TV and films frequently show simultaneous orgasms, so it’s a breath of fresh air to see a simultaneous sex act that we actually stand a chance of achieving. The characters perform 69 on their sides – possibly to help the director conceal nudie bits, but copy their style. Bend your top legs at the knee, put one foot fat on the bed and rest your heads on each other’s thighs for comfort. Tip: if you take longer to orgasm, let your partner get a head-start on you. The show Broad City (S2, ep4). The act Pegging One of the few instances where we see a heterosexual male on the receiving end of butt play – and, although it’s initiated by the…

A quick rinse and you’re good to go? Think again. A thorough cleansing regime is a must for healthy-looking skin.

Jo Foster, MD of video company Lumina Studios “I use a novelty egg timer at my desk and set it for 20 minutes to keep me on track with tasks. I thought the ticking would be annoying, but I actually like it. It keeps me conscious of passing time and makes me focus solely on whatever I’m doing.” Tasmina Perry, best-selling novelist “I work from home and if I leave the house, I make sure I maximise my time. The gym, supermarket and dry-cleaners are close to one another, so I do them all at once.” Zoe Neill, portfolio GP “I use that time when I’m asleep to get things done. I put the washing machine on a timer so it runs overnight and I soak my breakfast porridge oats…

The women’s-sport Richter scale is crackling with waves of energy. This year, the Women’s Boat Race made its historic move to the Tideway, sponsored by Newton Investment Management; in August, the women’s FA Cup Final will be live on BBC One – from Wembley, no less – and the England women’s cricket team are flourishing on their first-ever professional, six-figure contracts. And yet, some archaic, awkward issues remain. We made a list, and took them to the people in power, asking them to explain why inequality still exists. From paltry pay cheques to sportswomen being ignored at awards ceremonies, we’ve got them all covered. Why do men earn more prize money than women? THE DEAL Out of 35 sports that pay prize money, 25 pay equally, but ten – including…

ALESSANDRA STEINHERR BEAUTY DIRECTOR My lips are naturally pink, so anything too light or beige makes them look lifeless. Lipstick in Katrina £18 joancollinsbeauty.com knocks down the pink just enough to take them to a healthy nude. I WEAR IT… daily. I love nude lips and bronzed skin – effortless and sexy. GRACE TIMOTHY CONTRIBUTING BEAUTY EDITOR I love a red lip, but if I’m wearing a nude, it has to be warm with a pink undertone, as I’m so pale. I love Rouge Coco in Adrienne £26 Chanel. I WEAR IT… on low-key days or if I’m wearing a really busy print. SARAH JOSSEL ACTING DEPUTY BEAUTY EDITOR I’m not really a lipstick girl, but if I do rock it, I only feel comfortable in nudes. I love creamy…

Get freckled This super-cute trend is not a one-off, it’s set to continue into next season. So try Freckle Pencil in Forever Young £5 topshop.com. “Keep your pencil sharp,” says make-up artist Arabella Preston. “If the Preen version is a little extreme for you, stick to the bridge of your nose – not the tip – and gently spread out onto the top of the cheek’s apple.” Cut your hair SHORT short The thing about hair is… it’ll grow back! So yes, it’s a bold move, but if you don’t try it, you can never be sure it’s not the BEST look for you. Look at Lily Collins… she looks pretty happy post-crop, right?

FILMS MUSIC BOOKS TV THE WORD ON THIS MONTH’S HOTTEST How we’ve missed those soaring vocals, dreamy riffs, and just the whole darn pop grandeur. But the wait is over. Four years after the Grammy-nominated, turn-it-up-loud brilliance of Ceremonials, Florence + The Machine release their third album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful on June 1. It’s produced by Markus Dravs, who’s worked with Björk and Arcade Fire, and we’ve had the first two singles, What Kind Of Man and St Jude, on repeat. No one does stage presence quite like Florence – and the band are headlining a smattering of European festivals, including Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Norwich on May 23. One thing’s for sure – this is going to be another corker of an album. Welcome back,…

There was one name on everyone’s lips at this year’s Sundance Film Festival: Bel Powley. The 23 year old’s performance in The Diary Of A Teenage Girl – as a young artist who has an affair with her mother’s boyfriend (Alexander Skarsgård) – got the critics buzzing. Not bad for her second feature film. This month, the former Benidorm star polishes up her tiara to play Princess Margaret in A Royal Night Out, a screwball romp which is very, very loosely based on the VE night celebrations of a young Princess Elizabeth (played by Sarah Gadon) and her sister. “Everyone says that Margaret was the naughty one,” says Bel. “We shot in lots of stately homes and the lords and ladies who owned them had amazing stories of her visiting…

Yep, these amazing TV shows will have us hooked this month – kicking off with Sheridan Smith in The C Word (BBC One), an adaptation of Lisa Lynch’s ballsy, defiant book about her battle with cancer. Grace And Frankie is another jewel in Netfix’s comedy crown: acting legends Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin play two friends forced to reinvent themselves when their husbands leave them – for each other. Eva Green, Billie Piper and Josh Hartnett return for scary shenanigans in Victorian London for Season Two of Penny Dreadful (Sky Atlantic). There’s more horror with The Enfield Haunting (Sky Living), a three-part drama with Juliet Stevenson and Timothy Spall, based on the terrifying real events at an ordinary house in 1970s London. Finally, The Affair (Sky Atlantic) adds some gloss…

New York City Milk Bar Warning: it is a magical place and you will want to eat everything there. I can’t help you with that, because no one is immune. I can suggest their cereal milk soft-serve ice cream, blueberry and cream cookies, Karlie’s Kookies for a healthy option, and their famous Birthday Cake. I served it at my 25th birthday party to rave reviews. milkbarstore.com Siggy’s Good Food Great healthy food in a really chill atmosphere. The staff are friendly – one reason I love it.

#clothesmyhusbandhates I’ve been having a lot of fun on Instagram with this hashtag. At the moment, this usually means jumpsuits or culottes – some of my current favourite go-tos. But he’d be bereft if I didn’t give him a chance for a sarky comment each morning, like, “Auditioning for CBeebies today?” Oh well, he married me, he’s stuck with me now. WANT. It’s gorgeous, luxurious and comes with a price tag to match, but look how versatile this Loewe blanket is. On my wishlist to use for summer picnics AND, inspired by our fashion director, Natalie, a cosy coat come winter. VIP drinking buddies I spend my life telling students and work-experience people, “This job isn’t all sitting around meeting with celebrities, you know.” And then occasionally you have weeks…
