Rihanna has rhapsodised about her style. Lady Gaga credits her as an influence. There’s even an Instagram account, @princess.diana.forever, with over 130k followers, dedicated to her many looks. Diana’s fashion legacy lives on: those pie-crust collars, inflated sleeves and pussy-bow blouses resurfacing in collections from JW Anderson and Gucci. And now, Kensington Palace launches Diana: Her Fashion Story, mapping a very public style evolution. “Our exhibition sees her growing in confidence throughout her life, increasingly taking control of how she was represented, and intelligently communicating through her clothes,” says curator Eleri Lynn. Quite. And never more so than when she stepped out in the infamous ‘Revenge Dress’, a sexy, low-cut LBD, for one of her first public appearances since Prince Charles’ confession of adultery. As in life, Diana took bold…

HAS ANY WORLD LEADER’S FOOTWEAR BEEN SCRUTINISED QUITE AS CLOSELY AS THERESA MAY’S? Unlikely. Certainly, it’s hard to imagine a full-page close-up of, say, David Cameron’s shoes appearing on the front of The Sun as May’s did, under the headline “Heel, boys,” the day after she won the Conservative Party leadership contest last July. Since she sported leopardprint kitten heels at the Tory conference in 2002, May’s every step has been studied by fashion followers and political pundits alike. So, on her succession to the premiership, did the PM tone down her wardrobe in a bid to be taken more seriously? Did she heck. Instead, she simply quipped it was an “excuse to go and buy new shoes”, and got on with the business of Brexit. Whatever you think of…

L ast month, I found myself in the back of an Uber. It was 9.30pm and I was on my way home from a work drinks event. The driver was punctual and, at first, polite. Then he started talking to me about his wife. “It’s not a good marriage,” he said. I asked him why. He said he’d cheated on her with several other women because “that’s what men do”, but that he was finding it difficult to disentangle himself because, “if you’re a man, women want to trap you. They’re all the same!” The driver was clearly untroubled that he was talking to a member of the gender so desperate to tie him down. I tried to challenge him, but he didn’t seem to hear. “I work; women take…

THE ME-ME-ME-MILLENNIALS: lazy, entitled, vain and delusional – sentiments we’ve heard so often it sounds like a broken record (Gen X speak for Spotify without Wi-Fi). Reportedly dwelling in the luxury of our familial mansions, chronicling arm-length memories of our own faces while steadily morphing into Kardashians, we experience emotions so superficial they are fully conveyed by yellow circles with eyes, and our thoughts haven’t exceeded 140 characters in years. Look past the filtered profile picture and hashtag compulsion, and we millennials have more options available to us than any generation before, and with them, far more challenges. But forget the bad rep, it’s time to celebrate our quirks and conventions. Here, four writers remind us why we should be #hella proud to be millennials... DATING, SEX & MODERN LOVE…

TIPS “Neutralise your natural lip colour with concealer before you start, to ensure the shade you apply is actually what comes out on your lips,” says make-up artist Sascha Jackson “Like heels give you good body language, bold lips give you con­ident face language,” says make-up artist Terry de Gunzburg “Don’t match your liner to your lips, opt for a shade slightly lighter than your lipstick,” advises Sascha “Avoid a lip/cheek clash – wear one shade darker on cheeks than lips,” says Terry TIPS “Fake bigger lips to make bright lips pop. Exaggerate your lipline by slightly over-drawing on the top and bottom lines, excluding the corners,” suggests Sascha “Make your pigment last by ensuring your lips are soft and hydrated,” says Terry “Apply a lighter shade in the centre…

IT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING YOU OFTEN THINK ABOUT, but the order in which you cut and colour your hair can have a huge effect on your finished style. “Colour will enhance a cut in every way. It can make hair look thicker while also adding precision and dimension,” says hairstylist Adam Reed. “As a rule, you should always cut before you colour, to ensure your shape shows your hair in the best way possible,” says hairstylist Josh Wood. Also, think about it, no shade looks good with split ends. Accentuating your hue can also alter the weight of your hairstyle or, even better, you can fake it to the hair you’ve always wanted. “A toner will add dimension that will even out the balance of your hair, which can…

Curls and waves are a runway staple, and this season there were so many versions there’s inspiration aplenty for your own A-list hair moment. You just need the right tool to make an easy job of a pro style – and ensure the curls won’t drop before you do. So here’s the Glamour guide to gorgeous, healthy-looking ’dos that last around the clock. Look 1 OLD HOLLYWOOD You can’t go wrong with a glossy classic curl, full of Old Hollywood glamour. And it’s not as tricky as you’d think. You just need the ghd Curve Classic Wave Wand £120. “Wrap large sections of hair around the wand, all in the same direction,” says ghd global brand ambassador Adam Reed. “Once all hair has been tonged, spray hairspray onto a ghd…

Laura Mercier – queen of the no-make-up-make-up look – has created your complete complexion wardrobe. With their beautiful skin perfectors that match and complement one another, you have the ultimate underpinnings to any look and the secret to a flawless, luminous face. 1 PREP: Apply Laura Mercier Foundation Primer £29 to create a perfectly smooth, even surface. This helps make-up glide on easily and last longer, so your look stays fresh and colour-true for hours. Then it’s time for foundation… but not as we know it. Laura Mercier Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation £35 is so hydrating, it feels like a feather-light serum. It is sheer, but still provides a medium coverage, and its light-reflecting pigments give a luminous finish. It’s like setting your own candlelit filter wherever you go. LAURA’S…

Skin is anything but one-dimensional this spring. In a season where the no-make-up look prevailed and skin became the No1 star again, make-up artists switched up the textures for new twists on natural-looking skin. And just a Snapchat minute later, our social feeds were buzzing with the looks of the moment: matte, gloss and glow. So now the question is: will you matte, glow or gloss? No matter which look is your favourite, there is an Estée Edit finish for you. Here, Lynsey Alexander, Estée Lauder–s UK Makeup Ambassador, reveals how to get the looks with some instant-impact, fuss-free Estée Edit essentials. Look 1 MATTE For perfect skin with a light-diffusing finish “Prep skin with Rescue Balm For Face + Body [£34] for the ultimate hydration – the moisture cushion…

Using a face mask not only makes for the ultimate downtime, it can also change your skin for the better. You just need to understand what your skin needs and then combine the best masks to tackle your concerns. So, here are the top Fresh recipes for healthier skin. START HERE FIRM UP This is one for the end of the day, once you’ve cleansed and exfoliated. First, apply the Rose Face Mask £52 for five to ten minutes – the rosewater will tone while cucumber extract cools and soothes – then rinse. Apply Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask £77, rich in blackberry leaf extract to ?irm and lychee seed extract to maintain elasticity. Leave it to work overnight – you’ll wake up to plumped-up skin. MOISTURISE Skin feeling a…

The Swedish dance-pop sensation already has three Top 10 singles to her name and has collaborated with the likes of Tinie Tempah and David Guetta. Here, she talks us through some of her favourite tracks on her new (as yet untitled) album… Lush Life “When you’re looking for songs, you often have a ‘songwriting camp’ where you invite lots of talented writers and producers to contribute to your album. That’s how Lush Life came about. Freedo & Shuko [the super-cool Swiss-German production duo] worked on it and it really stood out. It’s very pop – initially I did think it was too pop for me – but I couldn’t stop singing it. The first time I performed it live, on tour in Sweden, I could see how much the audience…

Unhappy families We’ve had toxic relationships – see The Girl On The Train, Gone Girl and a million copycats – but now it’s all about toxic families. Paula Hawkins’ new thriller, Into The Water (out May), follows two sisters tangled in too many secrets, while Emily Fridlund’s History Of Wolves is a coming-of-age story about a lonely teen girl who prefers a neighbouring family to her own hippie parents. Then there’s Her Perfect Life, by Sam Hepburn, a psychological rollercoaster about two mothers – Grace’s life is golden, Juliet is a broke single mum – who forge an unlikely friendship. All, of course, is not as it seems. Horrible histories There’s a growing appetite for historical fiction based on real-life crimes. Remember that gruesome nursery rhyme: Lizzie Borden took an…

“Tattoos and body art are always more than just colours and shapes,” says make-up artist Val Garland. “Back in the day, when tattoos could only be in permanent form, they were a statement of identity. Now, there are so many forms of body art, and not only are they removable, but they are fast and easy to apply, too. Tattoos and body art serve as a declaration of individuality.” No longer regarded as a clichéd act of rebellion, 21st-century tattoos are prettier, more colourful and daintier than ever. In short, they’ve become the hot accessory for spring. Forget jewellery; it’s all about body art – real or faux. BODY ART Continuing the trend from last season – where every cool celebrity and model took to wearing body jewellery in the…

You probably know the symptoms of a UTI: that need to pee right now and the sore sensation when you do. But you may not know why you get these infections or how to stop them. Don’t worry, we’ve got this. 1 We get UTIs only from sex Sex is the most common cause; nearly 80% of infections in women occur within a day of intercourse. “The backand- forth rhythm propels bacteria from your vulva, vagina or rectum into your bladder,” explains Dr Lisa Dabney, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. But there are other triggers, too, including wiping yourself from back to front, and masturbating. Having a condition that blocks your urinary tract, such as kidney stones, or affects your immune system, like diabetes, can also make you…

Fashion for all I’ve been an avid reader of Glamour since I could get away with nicking my sister’s copies. I’m glad that your fashion pages are encouraging and positive, rather than tearing people down for their style choices. Charlotte, by email @aotoole99 #JamieDornan crowned ‘sexiest man’ in @GlamourMagUK’s 100 Sexiest Men – full agreement! *swoon* @jadeeenewman The #HeyItsOK page in @GlamourMagUK is always my favourite because I can always relate to every single one! @KatNicDhaidhild The answers in @GlamourMagUK Let’s Talk Balls from a male dominant are so valid to dispel myths around #malesexuality @GemPinkney Impatiently waiting for every film on @GlamourMagUK’s The Big Hitters list, might have to tear out and use as a 2017 film checklist.

Ladies, we need to talk about Crocs. Not the reptilian kind, but the equally terrifying (though far less fierce) lightweight rubber shoes sported by chefs, retiree gardeners and the under-fives. Well, now you can add the fashion pack to that list. Yes, you read that right. At Christopher Kane’s S/S17 show – his 10th anniversary – he paraded a succession of sensuous dresses down the catwalk grounded by the clumpy, foamy clogs. It was strange, subversive and, somehow, it worked. And just like that, they became the coolest shoe of the season. Stranger still is that, this spring, Crocs find themselves jostling for space in your new-season wardrobe alongside a number of off and odd, naff and nasty pieces. Velour tracksuits and logo-emblazoned tees, diamanté embellishment and cowboy boots, transparent…

JO ELVIN, Editor-In-Chief “Uniqlo is a godsend for classic white shirts, particularly from the collection by Inès de la Fressange. They’re such good quality and so well cut; whenever I wear one, people ask where it’s from – and often they’re surprised it’s not an expensive designer. J Crew is my absolute favourite for sweaters, and their long-sleeved T-shirts are also perfect for layering in winter.” KAREN PRESTON, Fashion Director “Good basics never go out of style – the key is versatility, longevity and everlasting appeal. I’m constantly rushing around after two young sons, so rely heavily on pared-back staples that go with everything. Every winter, I buy cashmere crewnecks from the men’s department of M&S. I have one in every colour. A Breton top is another mainstay in my…

Sitting near the back of the class, head down as I worked through the history questions in my exercise book, November 25, 1991, felt just like any other day. Then, our headmaster walked in and a boy behind me said, “Someone’s in trouble if Sir’s here.” ‘It wouldn’t be me,’ I remember thinking as I carried on writing: I was 16, and had university firmly in my sights. But then my name was called, and when I looked up, he didn’t seem angry – he was concerned. My sister was waiting for me outside the classroom. “Mum has fallen off her horse,” she told me, her face tear-stained. “But she’s going to be OK?” I asked, imagining a broken leg. My sister didn’t know. Panic flooded my body and I…

MY WAY vs YOUR WAY Crux It’s saying, “I’m right, you’re wrong.” Cure Negotiation. “You’d like something done a certain way (eg chores) – likely the way it was done when you grew up – but you both have to relax your stance,” says Saddington. “Ignore the issue and you never get to a point where you’re both happy. Explain why it’s important to you, decide on a compromise and, over time, it might stick.” PHONE ADDICT vs OFF-LINER Crux Phones can feel like there’s an affair, with the tech addict prioritising talking to people online over talking to you. Cure Boundaries. “Say, ‘I’m unhappy because you’re doing that and it makes me feel this,’” says Saddington. “Often, talking resolves the issue, which might be, ‘I could lose my job,…

THIS MONTH: HOW TO EASE YOUR SKIN INTO SPRING The shift from chilly to sunny can make skin confused and reactive. Sail through with these power players… 4 RADIANCE BOOSTERS • Capture Totale Dreamskin 1-Minute Mask (1) £51.50 Dior – 60 seconds to glow!

Not only are braids the red-carpet mainstay that really get the cameras flashing, they’re also totally life-proof. From working out or working late, to pulling an all-nighter on the dancefloor, they are the chicest way to keep your hair looking fierce. And with a braid for every hair type, length and occasion, it’s definitely time to master them. What do all the best braids have in common? Happy hair. Because even if your plaiting skills are on point, it won’t impress if your hair isn’t healthy. So here are our top braids for this season and the easy cheats from OGX haircare to get them looking their best. Prep for YOUR PLAIT 1 Wash your hair with the brand-new OGX Strength & Body + Bamboo Fiber-Full Shampoo and Conditioner £6.99*…

Whether you’re a traditional-flick fan or after something more fashion-forward, there’s a liner style out there for you right now. And where better to find the most trend-driven statements for your eyes than the catwalk’s No1 style king, Marc Jacobs? Ever since the first Marc Jacobs Beauty collection launched last year, exclusively at John Lewis and Harrods, beauty editors have been buzzing about the amazing textures and colours – it’s already become a staple in our make-up bags. So we asked Marc Jacobs Beauty’s global make-up artist, Gilbert Soliz, to create four new liner looks for Glamour to rock this spring, using their new matte highliners*. The NEAT line look 1 Apply Matte Highliner in (Grape)vine £19 to upper lids, extending the line into a wing. 2 Apply a coat…

We all know how important moisturiser is to healthy skin. But what if you could supercharge that hydration with an extra dose of support, one specially chosen to tackle any personal bugbear, be it dryness, dullness or wrinkles? And what if it would also boost the efficacy of your regular cream? That’s why serum is the superhero of the skincare world. Just ­ind the right one for your complexion, and you’ve got your own mini spa facial to treat your skin every day.

Remember Oscars 2016? Of all 20 acting nominees, not a single one was a person of colour, sparking the #OscarsSoWhite Twitter backlash. It was shocking, but as a film critic, not that surprising: it was just the same in 2015. In response to public outrage, the Academy added 683 voters to their ranks, hoping to increase their diversity. It’s long overdue; we’ll ?ind out on February 26 if it makes a difference as to who takes home the awards. Thanks in part to the #OscarsSoWhite campaign, we’ve seen a welcome increase in the visibility of films featuring actors and directors of colour. We have not one, but two mainstream awards contenders that tell true stories of black lives. Loving is based on an interracial couple in 1950s America, whose marriage…

“The best way to describe my relationship with Jamie [Dornan],” Dakota Johnson begins, haltingly, “is the one way I can’t. You see he’s, he’s…” Like a brother? “He’s like a brother!” she winces, breaking out into a low laugh. “I mean, we tease each other constantly, and we’re always goofing around. I trust him, I love him and I’ve been trying to find a way to put that relationship into words, but, honestly, I feel it’s closest to a brother-sister relationship. Still, I can’t say that, can I?” It’s a tricky one, admittedly, what with all the naked romps, the spankings, the floggings and the ingenious usages of duct tape the pair have indulged in on screen over the years – ever since they were both cast in the film…

What’s for dinner? Spag bol? Chicken salad? Or how about a tofu stir-fry or lentil curry? Because plant-based food is now everywhere, and chances are, even if you’re not vegan, you know someone who is. According to The Vegan Society, ten years ago there were 150,000 vegans in the UK. Today, that number has risen by 360%, with 42% of vegans aged 15_34. The meat-free market is booming, with most supermarkets now offering animal-free options, and more stocking solely vegan food, including London’s Vx and GreenBay. Vegfest.co.uk lists over 50 vegan fairs and festivals taking place this year, and mainstream restaurants are adapting. Zizzi recently introduced a mozzarella alternative for pizzas, while Pret’s menu options span from avocado and chickpea wraps to vegetable tagine soup. So what’s driving the trend?…

WINTER SUN WITHOUT JET-LAG? YES, PLEASE Think heading to South Africa for a long weekend sounds mad? Since there’s only a two-hour time difference, there’s no jet-lag to deal with – you can take an overnight flight and, by morning, ?ind yourself in one of the country’s famed winelands. Stellenbosch is a picturesque town with a wine route featuring more than 150 wine farms and estates. Stop by Kleine Zalze to taste the aromatic pinotage or blend your own wine at Middelvlei. Come evening, retreat to Lanzerac Hotel & Spa. The Cape Dutch hotel is still a functioning winery, and has 48 luxurious rooms spread over a lush estate. Bliss.

BACK IN 2007, I WAS AN INTERN at this very magazine and firmly committed to tartan hotpants, faux-fur coats and vintage prom dresses (what can I say? I was still finding my style DNA). Minimalism was certainly not my style. Luckily, that was the year a new shop called Cos arrived on the British high street. That store full of Scandi cool – coupled with the challenges of attempting to look stylish while earning an assistant’s salary – taught me the joy of good-quality basics. Breathing a self-assured minimalism into my wardrobe, it became a fashion lifeline for me, and still is as I continue to hunt out those simple separates and cleverly reinvented classics that have now formed ‘my look’. You could say we’ve had a long-term thing* (*love)…

EMMA WATSON, actress and activist by DAN STEVENS, Beauty And The Beast co-star There’s a fierce intelligence to Emma, which I admire. She has a curiosity and a desire to explore ideas. Before we started shooting Beauty And The Beast, I was inspired by her incredible speech as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. She was pivotal in the creation of the HeForShe campaign, driven by her passion for gender equality. JENNIFER LAWRENCE, actress by CRAIG DAVID, singer-songwriter She is such a huge movie star and talent, but whenever I’ve seen her in interviews she is so humble, doesn’t take it all too seriously and is very witty. JADA PINKETT SMITH, actress by WILL SMITH, actor My grandmother, my mother and my wife have all had a huge impact on me. My wife, in particular, is the…

Yes. I used to say that to everything. “Load me up, I’ll work for nothing, just shower me with experience and I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” I’d take on way too much in my quest to achieve, achieve, achieve – and “keep it simple” was the one piece of advice I never wanted to hear. Simple always seemed so boring, so safe, so unambitious. Now, keeping things simple is my daily goal. I’m more focused on my happiness than I am on my success and, oddly, that seems to have made me the most successful I’ve ever been. That’s because, for me, success no longer centres around how much I have going on, how much I earn, how many things I have or how many people know my name –…

The pooch pamperer “I’d been on two dates with a friend of a friend when we decided to arrange a third. Dinner had been booked for a couple of weeks when he decided to text me two hours (TWO HOURS) before the reservation to say his ‘dog had to have an injection earlier’ and that he’d ‘had to give her a long bath’, so he couldn’t ‘really leave the house’. I’m all for animal lovers, but…” Aysha, 23 The flat-pack fail “On our first date, I got so drunk I fell off my stool. The next day, he WhatsApped saying he’d had a great time and asked me out again. I sort of (definitely) judged him for wanting to see me after being so drunk. I replied saying, ‘Sorry, I…

ATHLEISURE This slick mix of activewear and smart staples is bigger than a passing phase – as evidenced by the luxury fashion brands embracing active clothes worn for both exercising and pretty much everything else. BIRDS OF A FEATHER Feathered trimmings add an airy, light, summery feel to your look. At the shows, coloured marabou feathers gracefully swept down the runway. CRISP COTTON The shirt is back, but with a deconstructed twist. We dare you to bare your shoulder, or go oversized and belt it to cinch in the waist. The more dramatic, the better. DRESSIS BEST It’s not just for parties – we say put your best frock forward on any occasion. EIGHTIES REVIVAL Big shoulders and metallics – the ’80s trend is not going anywhere. Embrace it for…

Last year, you came, you saw, you left in your thousands with beautiful hair, nails, make-up and a massive bag of freebies. In short, the first ever Glamour Beauty Festival was a runaway, smash-hit success. And so, together with our partners, Fiat, we are doing it all over again! If you missed out last time, now’s your chance to see what all the fuss was about. And if you were there, I can promise you it’s going to be even bigger and better this time round. What is the Glamour Beauty Festival? It’s the UK’s first and only beauty theme park. The suitably chic Saatchi Gallery in London becomes a Glamour world of brow bars, mani stations, skincare stops, make-up hubs, pop-up hair salons, lashperfecting zones and more. It’s a…

A fuller ­lutter makes for a great eye upgrade – it can widen the eyes, de­ine the shape and take you from desk to date night in a ­lash. But it can be a tricky business: falsies can be ­iddly and hard to ­it, right? Well, with the insider tricks and the right set of lashes, it doesn’t have to be as hard as you think… PREP YOUR LASHLINE 1 “Use a pencil to colour in the roots of your lashes,” advises celebrity make-up artist Lee Pycroft. “It will conceal any join between the false and natural lashes, especially at the inner corner of the eyes where the natural lash thins out.” APPLY MASCARA 2 “Apply mascara before your false lashes to help the lashes blend,” says Lee. 3 SELECT…

Life would be simple if it all just revolved around one thing – work, family, friends, a partner, partying… But we want it all, and we deserve it all. The only downside to having it all? Your skin will bear the brunt. Lack of sleep and daily external aggressors such as pollution, stress, smoking or an unbalanced diet can take their toll and signs of fatigue become visible. “Skin begins to look tired and dull, wrinkles begin to appear, and it takes longer to recover from the long days and late nights associated with modern living,” explains skincare guru Mathilde Thomas. “This is skin cell burnout.” It’s OK, though, don’t hang up your heels just yet. We have good news: with a skincare regime rich in antioxidants and vitamins, you…

No matter what skin type you have, your true glow potential is probably being held back. Thanks to our environment and lifestyles, dullness is a No1 concern. Now for the good news. There is an at-home mini facial you can give yourself that will reveal your glowiest skin in a .lash. And you only need ONE product – the cult Glow Tonic £18. It contains glycolic acid to remove the dead skin cells which lead to dullness, while ginseng accelerates cell renewal to reveal brighter, smoother skin. But unlike other toners and exfoliants, it does so without causing redness or irritation – it’s alcohol-free, so it won’t dry out your skin, and the aloe vera will actually soothe and calm your skin. TOP TIPS FOR YOUR GLOW TONIC FACIAL from PIXI…

7.30am I stay in a flat in Bristol when we’re filming. The show is set in Dorset but the house my character [Beth Latimer] lives in is actually in Somerset. Luckily, I don’t have an early call time – Olivia Colman and David Tennant do all the hard graft – so I have some time to myself in the morning. 8.15am The flat is on the harbour, above the best breakfast place ever. It’s called Spoke & Stringer – I wish they had one at home in London. I have poached eggs and smashed avocado on toast, very middle class. 9.15am Take a walk around the city centre to get some air, before I’m cooped up in my trailer all day. I pop into my favourite shop, Blaze, an art…

Beauty has had a state-of-the-art makeover. Thanks to those clever bods in their white coats, the products, treatments and tools available now are the high-tech dreams of science fiction. And while they might seem futuristic, they’re here right now. “We’ve already seen the scaling down in size of professional equipment (like lasers, LED and imaging devices) for the new speedier salon service bars and beauty counters,” says BeautyMART co-founder Anna-Marie Solowij. “This is set to continue with ever-more-portable high-tech beauty tools.” So whether you’re o. to the clinic, looking to tool-up at home, or even just upgrading your moisturiser, there’s a big innovation to boost your face. The new gadgets “I think at-home technology will become bigger this year,” says facialist Abigail James. “It makes my job even more exciting,…

WEEKS 1-2 I stock up on veg and, while I have more energy, it’s hard work. Most food in my cupboards, such as honey, is now inedible. I can’t wear my silk or wool clothes. My skin breaks out, too, but I think this is a result of my body adjusting, so I don’t give up. WEEKS 3-4 I’m experimenting with food – like tofu – and while I’m not missing meat, I do miss cheese. Luckily, some restaurants in my home town, like Purezza, do vegan pizzas. My skin is clearing up and even looks brighter. But I’m still struggling with organisation. Because I can’t just reach for a sandwich or a ready meal, I’m planning the week’s meals on a Sunday, prepping as many packed lunches – chickpea…
