LOVE THEM OR HATE THEM, when the Trumps come to town they make a BIG entrance. But while Donald and Melania dominated the headlines during their visit last week, there was someone else gaining almost as much attention. Step forward the US President’s daughter, Ivanka. Now an advisor to her father, Ivanka is the only one of Donald’s five children to have a role in the White House. Polly Dunbar goes behind the scenes to find out who the real Ivanka is – and discovers that political experts are calling her ‘One of the 10 most powerful people in US politics’ and aren’t sure how they feel about that. @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

“Looking for love? Honesty really is the best policy How refreshing to see new data released by dating app Badoo shows that users who are honest about themselves get more matches. The app created badges so that daters can admit upfront that they live at home with parents or that they drink heavily – both possible red flags – and found that those who used them were more popular than those who kept info to a minimum. This follows hot on the heels of Hinge founder Justin McLeod saying that ‘really allowing yourself to be seen’ on his app is the secret to finding a good match. Turns out we don’t want to find the ‘perfect’ person online – we just want to meet someone real.”…

Much was made of the FLOTUS’s wardrobing skills during last week’s state visit, aka The Trumps On Tour – the air hostess Burberry uniform, the Gucci Big Ben dress, the ‘adapted’ white Dior gown (re-cut to cling not skim) or the white cleaved-to-her-curves Dolce two-piece – no major gaffes from Melania, at least, even if she dressed with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. But far more alarming – and by that I mean, perceptive and shrewd – was the First Daughter, Ivanka. First seen peering from a window at Buckingham Palace, she wore Alessandra Rich, in the form of a belted white jacket and pleat skirt, demonstrating her knowledge of the fashion insider’s choice. She followed this with a Carolina Herrera gown for the state banquet, marking out her…

IT IS MY DELIGHTED duty to announce we are living through a glorious Keanunaissance, aka the happy renaissance of Keanu Reeves. As anyone who has been within 50 yards of the internet in the past two weeks can tell you, Keanu – and he is always ‘Keanu’, never ‘Reeves’ – is the meme of the moment, thanks to his completely brilliant appearance in Ali Wong’s new romcom, Always Be My Maybe. Keanu plays Ali’s new boyfriend in the movie, but he is really playing a parodic version of himself. He talks in otherworldly gnomic quotes (‘The only stars that matter are the ones you look at when you dream’) coupled with creepy A-list entitlement, and he is so funny you may well need to re-watch his scenes at least 15…

SHE RECENTlY REVEAlED that her goal in 10 years’ time is to give up ‘being Kim Kardashian’ as we know her now. The reality TV star has, instead, decided her future lies in more worthy endeavours. At the end of 2018, she quietly registered to study law and expects to take the bar exam in 2022. The unlikely move was sparked by a degree of success in addressing criminal justice reform on a public scale, even attending a meeting with President Trump at the White House to free Alice Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for a nonviolent drug conviction. Kim was also key in getting Trump to sign the First Step Act, which begins a road to prison reform and has seen 17 prisoners released. Kim has received…

Bey roars as Lion Queen With just over a month to wait before we hear Beyoncé’s sultry tones give life to Nala in Disney’s live action Lion King, she turned herself into a walking ad for the film last week. She wore this glorious jumpsuit to the Wearable Art Gala in the US. Saves renting out a billboard. GOOD NEWS WORTH CELEBRATING Women in Japan are coming together to oppose widespread office dress codes that demand they wear high heels. A petition to ban such rules is gaining traction. In other Sexism Abroad News, a Russian aluminium firm is offering female employees a small daily bonus... if they wear short skirts or dresses. Still a way to go, then. WHAT’S TRENDING NOW Yes, yes, Love Island ’s the thinking woman’s…

PHOTO: STOCKSY ON MY WEDDING DAY, my dad gave a speech where he recalled my first day at playgroup, aged two. He kicked off by explaining how he tentatively took me along, unsure how I’d get on in such a different environment. But about 10 minutes in, he realised I’d be fine when I wet myself going down the slide, took off my pants, handed them to him, and carried on playing. While I tried to crawl under the table in my wedding dress, my dad went on to tell the room how he, as a first-time father in his twenties, and I, a toddler, were exploring this brave new world together. Because unlike his peers, and certainly unlike all the women taking their children to playgroup for the first…

Say thank you! A 2015 study from the University of Georgia Center for Family Research found that expressing gratitude toward your spouse was ‘the most consistent significant predictor of marital quality’. Write it down Research has shown that writing about an argument or problem and the lessons learned, even for 20 minutes a day, helps you forgive your spouse. It’s a way of engaging your cognitive skills to help overcome the desire for retaliation, then wanting to end the rift, and finally creating goodwill for the partner. Take paternity leave seriously An 11-country study suggests that the most foolproof and seamless way to get household labour divided up fairly is for men to take significant amounts of time off to be with their offspring in the very early days of…

LOVE IT OR LOATHE it, you can’t avoid it. Love Island is back, and with it a new bevy of buffed and bronzed hopefuls ready to gobble up airtime and watercooler conversation over the next eight weeks. Riveting in its ridiculousness, since the ITV2 show graduated from guilty pleasure to cultural phenomenon a couple of years ago, it’s raised the eyebrows of even the most reluctant observer. Not (just) because of the flirting and fighting, but also for the increasingly improbable swimwear that makes the itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellowpolka-dot-bikini of yesteryear look positively mild and modest. And who can blame them? When you’ve been spending months gyming, protein-shaking and removing every hair from the neck down (and that’s just the boys), you might as well show it off. For the rest of us,…

WEEK 1: GENTLE CLEANSE & MOISTURISE. ‘If you’ve got really reactive, red, angry skin, I’d recommend using La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser, £12.50, and Avène Skin Recovery Cream [2], £16.50, morning and night for at least a week.’ Other mild cleansing favourites include, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, £8.99, Dr Sam’s Flawless Cleanser, £16, Skinceuticals Cream Cleanser, £31, which work well alongside sensitive skin moisturisers and serums like La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra Creme, £17.50, and Vichy Mineral 89 Fortifying and Plumping Daily Booster [1], £22. WEEK 2: SENSITIVE SPF. UV exposure is blamed for 80% of visible skin ageing, so an SPF is vital. But, ‘Sunscreen can be problematic. I’d introduce one for 7 days because it can take 3-5 days for your skin to flag it’s not happy with an ingredient.’…

PHOTO: GIANANDREA TRAINA BAggED POPCORN – the ‘lightly salted’ kind you can get as part of a meal deal – is a health fad in disguise and it’s not for me. It offers you a chance to team your sandwich with a savoury low-calorie snack. But popcorn is not crisps. Good crisps are so laden with flavour they make your mouth do cartwheels and these popcorns deliver about 3% of the salty joy they seem to promise on their jolly bags. But hot popcorn so buttery it’s a bit slippery – now there’s a snack made in heaven. And in this state, popcorn can grab on to whatever flavourings you want to throw at it, and then it really delivers. And so this Big Little Lies week, as the floating,…

fOR REASONS bEST known to the gods of pretentiousness, reviewers were only shown non-sequential episodes 4 and 5 of Too Old To Die Young, the first small-screen outlet of divisive Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn. Throughout the two hours 20 minutes of carefully considered, nihilistic dread about the future human condition, a story begins to emerge, at a snail’s pace. Miles Teller plays Martin Jones, a blankly handsome cop at the LA Sherriff ’s department. His boss sings motivational ditties about fascism to his staff on a ukelele. Jones’s sideline is wiping out sex offenders under the instruction of a darkly philosophic man with craggy skin and a spooky woman reading rune stones. His vigilantism is complicated by Jones’s hinted affair with a 16-year-old schoolgirl, whose doting dad is…

WE HAVE OUR WINNER . After hundreds of you entered the Grazia and Women’s Prize for Fiction First Chapter competition, we’re delighted to announce that Helen Rogers has scooped the hotly contested first prize. The competition, taking entries from aspiring female writers, was judged by Grazia’s acting assistant editor Emma Rowley and acting features director Hattie Crisell, alongside award-winning Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine author Gail Honeyman, who started the story, called Voice. The judges loved the combination of genuine suspense and stylish writing offered by Helen’s chapter, which marked the first time she had entered the competition, now in its ninth year. ‘As an avid reader of Grazia, I’ve planned to do it for years, often getting halfway through a draft, but something always got in the way,’ says…

MY YEAR WITH MUM ‘Things you only know… if you live with your parents’ (27 May) was so moving. I phoned my mum to ask if I could come home having found the courage to leave my boyfriend when I was 31. She was overwhelmed. My dad had passed away seven years earlier and me and mum were always close. She cared for me like no one else could, and me her. Now she is gone, I look back on that year as precious, where I got to know my lovely mum through adult eyes. It brought us even closer and I’m so glad it happened.

Did the Queen really have to roll out the red carpet? Theresa May, as PM, invited Trump to commemorate the Normandy landings. Then, ‘The Queen had to offer the state visit on behalf of her Government,’ says royal commentator Robert Jobson. Why did Trump bring the kids? With Ivanka, Donald Jr, Eric and Tiffany in tow, Trump was setting up his family as American royalty – just ahead of his 2020 re-election campaign. Note though, the Brits avoided pairing any young royals with the Trump kids for what would have been a crucial photo opp, according to Gwenda Blair, author of The Trumps. Did Prince Harry snub Trump? Harry did escort Ivanka into the Palace’s Picture Gallery, but was absent from the banquet – notable after Trump’s comment that Meghan’s…

WHEN YOU’VE GOT the Trump clan, the Queen, the royal ‘A-team’ and every major British dignitary in a room together, you’d think there’d be little space for gossip. But last week, amid the pomp and ceremony of the state banquet in honour of Donald Trump, there was scandalous chatter going on. Because the Buckingham Palace ballroom was also the venue for the Duchess of Cambridge’s first ‘meeting’ with her former friend Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley – the woman dubbed ‘Kate’s rural rival’ when rumours of a feud surfaced in March. It’s thought to be the first time the women have been in the same room. Their falling out became public after Daily Mail diarist Richard Eden wrote that Rose was spoken of in country networks as ‘a rival to…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, ALAMY, SPLASHNEWS, SHUTTERSTOCK, ALPHA THE FASHION IN the new Killing Eve might be capturing the public attention right now, but there’s another show making a play for our summer wardrobe too: Sex And The City. Yes, you heard that right. It might be the 22nd anniversary of the pilot this month, but one look at today’s street stylers says it all: SATC style forever. It helps that we’re in the middle of a ’90s style renaissance. Supermodel and Insta-star Bella Hadid channelled Gwyneth Paltrow in 1995 (or the beginning of the Brad Pitt years) at Nice airport during the Cannes Film Festival (think rectangular shades, a ribbed tank top and white bootleg jeans). Kaia Gerber, meanwhile, looks like she’s mining Winona Ryder’s wardrobe for ’90s minimalist leather…

JEMIMA KIRKE IS LATE. So late, in fact, that I’m wondering whether I’ve perhaps got the date of our breakfast meeting wrong, when she arrives at the Brooklyn café-cum-bar, with an explanation that’s impossible not to forgive. She’s come straight from the hospital, where she’s spent two nights sleeping upright in a plastic chair; her boyfriend of two years, Australian musician Alex Cameron, fell off some scaffolding while shooting a video and has broken both of his wrists and most of the bones in one hand. ‘I had to feed him a sandwich for breakfast,’ says Jemima, who, even makeup-free, looks maddeningly beautiful for someone who has just slept in a chair. ‘He can still use his fingers, though, so I had to tell him to get off his phone…

Laura Parker, 39, is self-employed and has two children. ‘I started working in marketing in the public sector when I was 20, with a great pension deal, but I didn’t pay into it at the level I should have. It was a time of excitement and potential, not planning for retirement and old age. I got on to the property ladder, buying my first flat in London. I stretched myself with a 100% mortgage, so paying into a pension dropped down the list. When I got a new job soon after, I stopped paying in altogether. In my late twenties I met my husband. Pensions came up in conversation now and again, but I considered my property to be my pension. We lived together, got married, then I got pregnant.…

‘My family are anxious at the thought of me being trolled as the next Prime Minister’ Tory leadership hopeful Esther McVey tells us why she wants to lead the country, despite the potential pitfalls… PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK. BLUECOLLARCONSERVATISM.CO.UK ‘If I win, the first thing I’ll do is deliver on Brexit’ “If I win the leadership race, the first thing I’ll do is deliver on Brexit. There can’t be any more delays and certainly no revoking Article 50. If that means leaving without a deal, then so be it. I’ve also just launched the Blue Collar Conservatism campaign, which is about improving education and public services, getting more police on the streets and generally creating far greater social mobility. It’s effectively my leadership manifesto. I know leading the country is a daunting…

SHE’S AN INflUENCER , businesswoman, TED talk host and mother – with an excellent wardrobe to boot. So Freddie Harrel understands confidence and creativity. ‘It’s dangerous to shrink yourself and not express yourself,’ she says. Her advice? ‘Wear what you want. Say what you want. Do what you want.

Are you ready for the ride of your life? ABOUT TWO YEARS ago, I dragged my husband to SoulCycle in Bryant Park, NYC. How good can an exercise class actually be, I wondered, given the promise to ‘Change your body. Find your Soul’. But when Isaac the instructor leapt in, all glistening pecs, high kicks, high fives and hugs, I knew this wasn’t going to be your average class. Then the music started – a sound quality I’ve only experienced in an Ibiza club. I spent the next 45 minutes grinning as Isaac ‘performed’, dancing and springing into splits. I left exhausted, exhilarated, dripping in sweat. It was hands down the most excitement I’ve had in an exercise class ever – this was a show, a therapy session, a club…

Try a feline flick: ‘My go-to is mapping the shape out with a soft kohl pencil, like MAC’s Eye Kohl Pencil in Minted [3], £15, then smudge it about with a small blender brush,’ says Andrew, who also loves a creamy pencil, like Dolce & Gabbana’s Intenseyes Creamy Eyeshadow Stick in Emerald [4], £30, for a vibrant finish. Be bold with bronze: ‘Green and bronze is very tropical and very Missoni,’ says Andrew. ‘Perfect for summer.’ Avoid metallic bronzers though – you’ll get a natural matte look with Giorgio Armani Neo Nude Fusion Powder [5], £49. Play with sparkle: ‘Use your finger to pat a glitter-infused eyeshadow, like NARS Hardwired Eyeshadow in Ecstasy [2], £17, over the top and inner corners of eyes,’ says Andrew. Or try Clarins Ombre Satin…

WEDDING MESSES Why we love to hate Bridezilla (10 June) was brilliant. I’ve seen my fair share of stressed-out brides’ outlandish behaviour. My sister was a nightmare – she’d be the first to admit it. Our parents and I had to take on second jobs to afford her wedding – so extravagant were her demands for perfection. She fell out with all but one of her bridesmaids, and that’s only because that one was just three! Your feature gave some sound and calming advice to brides-to-be. You need to decide on your priorities and create a budget with whoever is paying early on, so if you want to spend more on the band or photographer, cut back elsewhere. And difficult as it may be, talk to people about something other…

AMID THE MOSTLY male and middle-aged group gathered around the table in St James’s Palace last Tuesday, one figure stood out. As business leaders from the US and UK discussed defence and financial regulation with President Trump and Theresa May, Ivanka Trump, dressed in head-to-toe Burberry, sat among them, looking as confident and composed as ever. At every event Trump attended during last week’s state visit, his eldest daughter was there too, capturing each moment in a series of social media posts. ‘It was an incredible honor to meet Her Majesty The Queen,’ she wrote on Twitter. The 37-year-old’s eagerness to publicise her presence, while wearing a £14,000 designer wardrobe, seemed to some commentators evidence of her desire to snatch the limelight – because where Ivanka goes, controversy follows. Indeed,…

SUMMER HAS ONLY just started, but has anyone else clocked that the sales are in full swing? The designer big guns Matchesfashion.com and Harvey Nichols have already rolled out the discount wagon, while Selfridges will be markdown-happy from 19 June. The thought of scouring the red-sticker rails probably makes your chest feel tight and your palms start sweating. The make-up stains, the elbows of fellow shoppers, the general air of madness – it’s all a bit much. So this summer we’re trying a different tactic. Hunting for the best bargains can leave your wallet lighter, but your wardrobe looking a little, er, lost. What’s better by far is seeking out those ever-after pieces that you know will work with a) your existing clothes and b) for lots of different occasions.…

Even for a town that’s used to rolling out the red carpet, the fanfare that accompanied the arrival of the Beckhams in Hollywood in 2007 was like nothing the city had seen before. The mayhem began the moment it was announced David was signing a new $250m deal with the struggling LA Galaxy football team. More than a hundred different media outlets camped out to watch David and Victoria touch down on US soil. While David’s first few days of work involved holding a press conference for those who hoped his arrival would finally make soccer fans out of Americans, Victoria busied herself with high-profile radio and TV appearances ahead of an unprecedented primetime TV special about their move. Uber cool W Magazine even dedicated a cover to them, dubbing…

ONE MINUTE YOU’RE mulling over kebab skewers at your local B&Q, the next you’re watching your flower beds slowly turn into a swamp. What is it with this weather? It makes it almost impossible to get dressed daily – let alone for festivals or birthday parties in beer gardens. This is why Alexa Chung’s collaboration with Barbour, available from Sunday, has been met with the kind of jubilation usually reserved for royal weddings. It’s a capsule collection of classic waxed jackets and Glasto-ready macs, all in pleasingly lo-fi pastels – and, naturally, some mud-proof neutrals. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, Marc Jacobs has collaborated with Stockholm brand Stutterheim on a few fun rubberised macs. All of which made us consider other ways to ‘reality proof ’ our wardrobe against…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES PARIS MAYOR ANNE HIDAlgO last week declared that smoking is now banned in 52 parks and gardens in the city. Smokers are encouraged to stub out before entering these green spaces in newly installed ‘fun’ ashtrays: one asks them to use their fag ends to vote for burgers vs quinoa. Quinoa? You’ve changed, Paris. Anyone lighting up in one of the smoke-free areas faces a €38 fine. The initiative is targeting passive smoking and is ecologically motivated. ‘One cigarette butt equals 500 litres of polluted water,’ a municipal official explained. Obviously, this is great news: smoking is a public health catastrophe and butts are a toxic menace. But is an element of Parisian – and French – culture going up in smoke? The Gitanes packet with its…

I was apprehensive when my wife Leisa and I found out three years ago that our first child, Beatrix, was going to be a girl. For a week or so after the birth, I kept asking my wife for reassurance that I was cleaning Bea’s bits right. Two years later, when we found out our second child, Felicity, was also a girl, I was relieved. I felt like I’d got this. Still, it’s been a learning curve. As a former style editor for GQ and Men’s Health, I’m no stranger to fashion, but dresses, tights and hair bobbles were alien concepts. Morning styling duty normally falls to me and I confess that I dress Bea boyishly, because boys’ joggers are more robust than girls’ leggings. They’re designed for doing stuff,…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES WHEN PEOPLE ask me what I do for a living, I’m always at a loss. I usually end up saying ‘I tell stories about humans’ – but more accurately, I write about human relations. And what I’ve noticed is that our species spends a lot of time thinking about how to raise happy kids, and how to make ourselves happy – but marriage, the trickiest of relationships because it’s the one you choose to have, gets short shrift. I’ve been writing about and researching marriage for more than a decade for Time magazine. I’ve always found the subject fascinating, because nearly everybody has a story about the institution that is central to their lives – whether it’s their own marriage, their parents’, their children’s, their best friend’s…

HOW I WORE IT THEN… WHEN I LOOK AT OLD pictures and think, ‘Why in the world did I wear what I wore back then?’, it was due to impulsive high-street buys. Now I focus on finding pieces that will stand the test of time. This Shushu/Tong dress is one of my favourite things in my wardrobe. It can be worn in so many different ways. By layering it with an Alessandra Rich blazer, you can change the entire look. You can’t go wrong when you mix a classic dress with a classic jacket. For a more relaxed look, I pair it with a vintage Ferragamo knitted cardigan. I think the tones of both go so well together. After living in London for five years, I finally have bad weather…

AS A DIE-HARD beauty junkie, when I landed my first assistant role in my early twenties I naturally went hell-for-lipstick trying every serum, lotion and cream I could get my hands on. Then I hit my mid-twenties and my normally well-behaved skin started acting out, with angry red bumps, dryness and itchiness. ‘Why is this happening?’ I asked several dermatologists. ‘It looks like you’ve thrown too many strong active ingredients on to your skin at once,’ was the consensus. ‘Your face is freaking out.’ Ironic, really, that in a bid to get better skin, I had made things worse. And I’m not alone. ‘In recent years I’ve seen a big increase in the incidence of sensitivity and acne breakouts due to over or incorrect use of skincare products,’ explains dermatologist…

Catch up on When They See Us In 1989, the New York state department convicted Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana Jr, Korey Wise and Kevin Richardson of a crime they didn’t commit.

Home for me is Richmond in Kentucky, USA. I’ve lived here for 50 years. I love the people, the horses and the Kentucky bluegrass. I love the dirty South: I love going out with my friends to Jackson’s Restaurant or Red Lobster. Anywhere there is a vibe. I have such a great bunch of friends, and we often play cards together. When I started the Instagram thing [Baddie now has 3.8million followers], my friends didn’t know about it. One day, over cards, I said, ‘Ladies, I’ve got something to tell you: I’m coming out as Baddie Winkle!’ They all thought I was coming out as gay, but I was just coming out as being on Instagram. No two days are the same for me. But the first thing I do…
