GHD COPPER LUXE I for one have been ghdobsessed since way back at uni in 2002. My cool friend (who remains painfully cool to this day) touted a pair of black and yellow SUPER styling irons into our halls – and things were never the same again. For that was the day I switched tumbleweed hair for genuine, real life, criminally good celeb-looking shine. In fact, ask anyone at Look how they first found their ghd Vs and you’ll likely be met with a spontaneous round of applause. And just when we thought ghd couldn’t get any better, they’ve gone and wrapped their latest collection in copper. Copper! Everyone’s favourite colour! The colour of 2016! COPPER! Which is why we’ve made Look copper this week to celebrate. Ghd’s new copper-coloured…

Santa, sleigh bells, sparkles… some things just go with Christmas, and sequins are definitely one of them. After all, it’s the only time of the year you can wear enough bling to be seen from space and no one (not even your out-of-touch boss) can bat an eye. And given the fact that Internet searches for sequin skirts are up a colossal 550 per cent, we’re guessing you agree. However, thanks to their often-miniscule length, sequin skirts are polarizing for 99 per cent of us; a mini skirt is one thing but covered in dazzling discs? Daunting doesn’t cut it. Don’t be disheartened, though – thanks to a new crop of calf-length styles, these party pleasers just got way more wearable. With a super-flattering A-line shape and a hemline that…

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of identifying a knock-out outfit on Instagram, only to discover that it doesn’t cost the earth. There we were, enjoying the wonders of social media when we clocked blogger extraordinaire Blair Eadie in a pretty phenomenal powder blue, high-neck embroidered dress. Much to our surprise, the frock in question is the product of Hope & Ivy, the British label created by BFFs Beth Chilton and Sarah Sleightholm only last year. And boy, are we glad these two design forces found each other! Stocked exclusively at ASOS, the collection features stunning lace midis, wispy organza co-ords, impeccably tailored jumpsuits and, of course, that signature embroidery on everything. Hand-drawn prints and frill details only add to the feeling that these pieces were crafted for you –…

“She’s started coming out of her shell socially” it’s been a whirlwind two months for Angelina Jolie. Following her split from husband Brad Pitt in September, the star enlisted top Hollywood divorce lawyer Laura Wasser (the same woman who represented Johnny Depp in his divorce); braved a plethora of completely false marriage rumours – including stories that Brad wanted to pursue Margot Robbie and Marion Cotillard while the pair were still together – and faced criticism from other A-listers. At a recent charity event in Los Angeles, comedian Chelsea Handler threw shade at the actress, saying Brad was being emancipated rather than divorced. All in all, we think Angelina might be forgiven for feeling utterly down and out. But last week, for the first time since the split, the actress…

“Business can be difficult – but I don’t shy away from it” Oh , how we love Jessica Alba. She might be famous for her starring roles in the likes of Sin City and Fantastic Four, but it’s her business mind that’s seen her turn a passion for organic products into The Honest Company, leaving her with a reported net worth of £275m. Impressive, yes? The 35-year-old’s a mum to daughters Honor and Haven, the face of Braun, built up an army of fash fans (especially in the Look office) plus she has a figure everyone wants. But she doesn’t even go to the gym, sigh… Hi Jessica! Your skin is always glowing – how can we achieve your natural look? I like to use the Braun Face Spa. It’s…

‘This coat has a classic biker shape but is totally winter weather-appropes… What’s not to love?’Amy, size 8 THE NEW SEASON BIKER • The traditional biker-style jacket has had a major upgrade for AW16 and we are totally on board. Forget black leather: this season is all about oversized boyfriend fits, warm wool or shearling fabrics and sugary sweet colour palettes that look good enough to eat… ‘This jacket has become my new wardrobe staple; I’ve been wearing it with denim, shirt dresses, culottes… Everything!’Anna, size 12 THE LONGLINE BOMBER • Yep, the bomber is back for yet another season but this time round it’s oversized, longer in length (no chilly bottoms! Hurrah!) and generally more snug. You’ll also notice the pretty embroidered detailing of the SS16 bomber has been…

Date Night Tinder meet-up or date night with your boyf, a soft eye look is a winner all round. Keep things romantic with a wash of warm shadow and fluttery lashes 1 Sweep a soft, neutral eyeshadow across the lid using a fluffy brush, blending up into the crease. 2 Buff a slightly deeper golden brown shadow into the socket to create a subtle contour. 3 Smudge some brown kohl liner along the lash line. 4 Finish by applying two generous coats of mascara for real va-va-voom lashes. Work Christmas Party People won’t believe you did this eye look at your desk. Build up the intensity with a metallic smoke through the crease 1 Pat a warm, shimmery eyeshadow all over the eyelid and blend using a fluffy brush. 2…

Dance does everything. You get fit, tone your muscles, and it’s a memory boost because you’re picking up choreography and remembering steps,’ says Kimberly. Want a bod like Kim’s? Try her three favourite moves… THE WAIST WHITTLER Pirouettes are a great way to work on your abs. Balancing on one leg, try making a complete turn around yourself. As you improve your balance, you’ll also be improving your core muscles. THE CORE CREATOR The humble handstand can improve your core fitness, which helps with posture and balance. To start out, get on all fours with your heels against a wall. Keep your shoulders directly over your wrists and lift your bum up to form an upside down V shape. Step up the wall, one leg at a time keeping knees…

Natascha’s Mantra ‘Be kind and treat people right. Keep fit for your health, not for your image.’ 1 Skinny? Nah! I would love a smaller chest though – I have huge boobs, which is my main body issue. I think a six-pack looks amazing though. 2 Drop The Negative ‘ Beauty is 100 per cent in the eye of the beholder. No matter how physically attractive a person is, if they are mean or nasty, they are ugly. Be kind and positive.’ 3 Tackle Insecurity ‘ Try to lose your inhibitions. Remember that you only get one life. Think about how much you’ll regret it when you’re older if you’ve spent your life worrying about what everyone else thinks.’ @natascha.cox…

'I’ve long imagined myself as Felicity Jones in Chalet Girl (I’m pretty sure Ed Westwick has something to do with it) and now, thanks to these frugal finds, I can live out that fantasy. OK, so the snow may be in short supply, but this sheepskin rug makes a good substitute – I plan on rolling around on it until the real thing decides to make an appearance.’ MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR…

COMIC MEETS DENIM AT ZARA Only Zara could craft denim jackets and irresistible arm candy out of Bugs Bunny, Tweety Pie and Porky Pig. And that’s exactly what it has done. A jacket covered in slogans is emblazoned with the Looney Tunes logo on the back, while the bags are reincarnations of the faces of Porky and Tweety. Saturday morning cartoons never looked so good… ASOS X PINGU We can’t even see this little penguin without singing that famous theme tune in our heads –and given that ASOS’s new ode to this guy is so brilliant, we guess we’ll be singing it on a very regular basis. Every time we jazz up our jeans with one of these tops, to be exact. BRB, just off to watch some old Pingu…

‘This isn’t my fault. I didn’t mean for this to happen. I blame my friends.’ So goes the speech I recite as I find myself at the MAC counter, fervently stockpiling the life-changing lipstick that is Brave. But wait – let me start at the beginning. I’m lucky enough to have one of those core groups of friends that travels with you through life. School, university, WhatsApp groups… We’ve cried, laughed and endured the Megabus together. But a while back, I started feeling slightly left out of a recurring conversation they would have each and every time we were together. There were oohs and aahs I couldn’t quite decipher, until one of them thrust a MAC lipstick into my hand. 'It’s called Brave and it’s INCREDIBLE,’ she began. Then they…

‘Getting psyched up for the party season isn't easy. The weather is one thing, the fact that I’d rather be Netflix and chilling another. However, when the clothes look this good, they actually make me want to abandon my sofa for more glamorous pastures. From lamé frocks and velvet minis to satin strides and sparkling camisoles, these pieces will have me dancing in no time!’ MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR TUNE IN AT MATALAN.CO.UK See more of Matalan’s amazing party pieces and get all the styling inspo you need by tuning into The Show at matalan.co.uk...…

What an awkward week for Prince Harry. As part of his royal tour of the Caribbean, he was treated to a spot of dancing from some nearly naked ladies. Then, Antiguan prime minister Gaston Browne offered up the island as a honeymoon destination should he be thinking of marrying new girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle. Only a few weeks after Harry, 32, confirmed his new romance, it made for some pretty awkward viewing to those present. But it did get us thinking: could the 35-year-old Suits star actually be the perfect princess in waiting? Not only is she a keen anglophile and philanthropist, she’s got 34-year-old Kate Middleton’s chic style down to perfection……

Curating the perfect capsule wardrobe is no small feat. It takes years of buying the wrong thing to know what works for you. Only then can you start collating pieces that can be styled seamlessly together, even on the most rushed of mornings.

Winter brings with it many sartorial struggles but none more testing than the hunt for the perfect party dress. In a tale as old as time (and yes, that is a direct quote from Mrs. Potts) we spend so many hours each year analysing this single purchase that, inevitably, our favourites end up selling out, leaving us feeling as if we’ve taken a punch to the gut. Not this year though. We’ve already tracked down our frock of choice, and it’s even got the blogger seal of approval. We first clocked this velvet dream on Fashion Me Now’s Lucy Williams and since that fateful day, we’ve not been able to think of anything else. Of course, there’s always the fear that influencer outfits could potentially cost you more than a…

Rage: the four-letter word that seems to crop up constantly at the moment. Whether it’s raging at a colleague about their missed deadline or shouting at the TV every time Trump appears, we are Generation Angry. Even swearing is on the rise, with a recent Scottish survey revealing the use of the word 'f**k’ is up by 500 per cent since the 90s. S**t, that’s a lot. So why are we so angry? Experts say it’s because of our financial situation: we’re the ones paying extortionate rents (a total of £53,000 by the time we’re 30), working longer hours (for on average £8,000 less in our twenties than our predecessors), struggling with the strain of student debts, being ghosted on Tinder and facing the consequences of a referendum that 73…

‘F**k winning, f**k looking cool, f**k being cool.’ Only 48 hours after his onstage meltdown where he lashed out at Jay Z and Beyoncé, Kanye West cancelled the remaining 21 dates of his tour and was checked into hospital, reportedly for psychiatric evaluation. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for wife Kim Kardashian, who was about to make her first red carpet appearance since her Paris attack in October. Insiders tell Look that the rapper's been suffering from exhaustion. Added to this, it’s been nine years this month since his mother Donda passed away, something friends say he’s never got over. It hasn’t been the best year for 39-year-old Kanye and Kim, 36, as the couple have been plagued by split rumours. Despite Kanye previously calling their marriage…

Lydia, Beauty Editor ‘Bounce and body are a must for me and everybody knows volume is down to your dryer. This look encapsulates everything I want from my hair tools and it’s so easy to do.’ Gilly, Editor ‘Poker straight and glossy is my go-to style, so my straightener needs to be able to smooth out, not sizzle my locks. My hair has never looked as healthy or stayed as straight as it does with ghds.’ Gabrielle, Beauty Writer ‘Straight hair isn’t really my thing, I like a bit of shape and movement but hate frizz, so I need a styling tool that doesn’t do any damage. These tongs are my secret weapon for killer waves that shine.’ Forget everything you thought you knew about styling your hair. Here at…

Jenny Hodges, events stylist and founder of party planning company Mrs Myrtle ( mrsmyrtle.co.uk ) shares her tips on how to decorate an Instagram-worthy party table 1 Nail your theme Look at trends in the high street home stores. Pinterest is a great source of ideas, while Etsy and Amazon have a wealth of props. And get a clear number of guests – don’t squash people in! 2 Choose colours wisely For classy dinners, I adore white linen with rustic hessian. Opt for tea or LED fairy lights. Add them to jam jars and wrap in garden twine for optimum effect. This year, playful kitsch is a big trend. Feeling brave? Try making your own pompoms. 3 Add a homemade touch Ditch crackers and make personal place settings.…

IF YOU WATCH ONE THING Delve Into Mariah’s World The original diva, Mariah Carey, has been teasing us for months about this eight-part docu-series, the first time she’s let a camera into her life. From throwing her diamonds at the wall in frustration to being booed on stage when she turns up late, this is a glimpse into the parts of her life we never see and, put it this way, it’s everything we had hoped for. • Mariah’s World starts on E! on 11 December THE ULTIMATE MARIAH QUOTES... ‘If you see me as just a princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.’ ‘A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is.
