Rihanna has never been one to put a man ahead of her career (as Look reported in January, one reason why she split with Drake in October was her busy work schedule). But now RiRi, 28, has sworn off men after several dramatic weeks negotiating the tense love triangle between her on-off beau Drake and her former BFF Jennifer Lopez. Rihanna was apparently 'hurt’ by the shock news that Drake and J-Lo were getting close, after finding out from an industry insider – a mark of total disrespect in her eyes. Soon after, Drake threw shade at their 2016 duet Work, publicly declaring it to be 'an old vibe’ at his New Year’s Eve do. But despite the drama-filled start to January (which saw Ri apparently cut both of them…

“I didn’t want to go back to films but I loved this script” Look has interviewed a million celebrities. Jennifer Aniston? Amazing. Kylie Jenner? Er, interesting. But we’ve been waiting to interview Drew Barrymore forever. We can’t quite put our finger on what it is about Drew. Maybe it’s that she played the characters we most related to or wanted to be as teens; awkward Josie Grossie in 1999’s Never Been Kissed; sassy, acerbic Dylan in Charlie’s Angels; Casey who answers the phone in Scream (totally us). Or maybe it’s the fact that Drew’s been an executive producer on most of her films and shows. So we’re finally meeting her in Berlin in sub-zero temperatures and not even the dull ache of a hangover can change our excitable mood. The…

NINETIES TO NOW Remember that 90 s-style slip dress you wore to your office Christmas party? It’s time to give it a brand new spin by dressing it down for daytime. Just add ankle boots and a jersey top or sweatshirt. Bingo! It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3… 1 When the sun begins to shine, swap the ankle boots for a pair of open-toe mules. 2 A sporty tee layered underneath will give this feminine silky slip a more dressed-down feel. 3 Try layering your slip over your skinny jeans too for some major SS 17 style points. ANY-OCCASION HERO When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a stripy cotton shirt; it will look just as good styled under a tailored pinafore for the office as it will…

Like a sartorially blessed butterfly emerging from a designer cocoon, Victoria Beckham’s personal style has undergone quite the transformation of late. Having formerly restricted herself to a uniform of monochrome, the runway maestro has spent the last few weeks tackling tricky primary hues in an array of outfits so standout they’d give the queen of colour blocking, Solange, a run for her money. Unexpected it may be, but there’s a common thread to Victoria’s new wardrobe mood: cornflower blue. Whether it’s a shoe peeking out from under a mustard A-line skirt or a slinky shirt effortlessly tucked into wide-leg trews, Victoria’s gone berserk for the bold tone – and so have you, it seems. Since the mighty VB began sporting the shade, searches for cornflower blue have shot up by…

Something’s happened. Call it a fad, call it a phenomenon – whatever you call it, it already has most of the style set in its grasp. It’s the new incarnation of the T-shirt and it’s largely thanks, of course, to Gucci. Who knew a white T-shirt, of all things, could cause such a stir? But it has. Resurrecting an old 80s logo, the Italian fashion house has managed to create yet another cult buy, which was as ubiquitous in Copenhagen as Ganni jumpers and hygge parties (we made that last bit up). At £320, it remains a world apart from the basic tops we’ve come to know, love and buy for around £7.99 (thanks H&M). But if you’re ready to jump on the fashion tee bandwagon, there are more affordable…

Can you hear that? It’s the sound of hearts breaking – brought on by these photos of Prince Harry hand-in-hand with Meghan Markle, the woman predicted to be our next princess. Sob. OK, we might be getting ahead of ourselves (technically, Meg would be a duchess) but our royal connections have told us that the 35-year-old actress and Harry, 32, who’ve been dating since November, are besotted with each other. A fan who spotted the pair in London this week revealed they were 'smiling, laughing and holding hands’. Aww. But despite their loved-up exterior, the huge online backlash against Meghan means she’s apparently rethinking her options. 'She’s so happy,’ one source close to her tells us, adding: 'But while she knew there might be some negativity surrounding her relationship, she’s…

DESK-TO-DATE MAKE-UP ‘Nail date night make-up with this pretty, fresh-faced look. Keep your hair extra-glossy and skin dewy, and let your peepers do the talking by adding natural falsies and a tiny slick of eyeliner for subtle enhancement.’ MAKE IT WORK (IRL*) 1 Start by brushing up your brows and filling in any sparse areas with a light pencil. 2 Apply fluffy falsies, wait for the glue to fully dry, then draw a fine line over the top with a black liquid liner. Coat lashes with mascara. 3 Finish with a slick of clear or nude lip gloss and smooth the ends of your hair with high-shine serum. Simple, yet totally effective. THE VERDICT PERFECTLY PRETTY ‘I love this. It’s natural, easy to do and a gorgeous date night look.…

1 Pollen When bees collect nectar from flowers, they flick pollen onto their legs and keep it in the hive to mix with honey. This forms a substance that they feed to their grubs. Add Nutriseed Raw Bee Pollen, £ 12.49 , into smoothies for a better immune system and more energy. 2 Bee Venom If applied as a cream, bee venom can trick the skin into thinking it’s been stung. Blood rushes in, stimulating collagen production, which results in a younger-looking complexion. But it doesn’t come without a price tag. One ounce can cost up to £30,000. Lucky for us, Nip + Fab Bee Sting Repairing Shot, £24.95, is a potent plumping shot for way less. 3 Propolis A substance that bees use to seal small cracks in their…

Best Stroke Forward ‘Swimming works on the whole of your body, but each stroke is unique and requires different muscles with varying levels of difficulty.’ FRONT CRAWL This works your chest, lats and back. Keep your body position flat, with a slight slope down to the hips so you keep the leg kick under water. Arms should be slightly bent in front of you when they enter the water. Legs together, ankles relaxed and kick in a continuous motion. BACKSTROKE Great for improving your posture and works your back, lats and hamstrings. Keep your head still and neck relaxed – the water should come up to about your ears. Using your arms, lead with your thumbs as they come out of the water. Make sure your ankles stay…

For a while, it seemed like everyone went what we’re calling ‘bread shy’, but our Look Influencers reckon we need to change our thinking. However, skip the jam – it’s all about enhancing your morning toast in the following ways... Pre-workout Get your carbs in! Try Greek yogurt, one hard boiled egg, avocado slices and a scattering of rocket. @thedancingfoodie27 Afternoon slump Wake up your senses. Pile on black bean spread (whizz up desired amount in a blender), avocado, coriander, sweetcorn, red onions and hot sauce. @realandvibrant Just because Nut butter lovers are always catered for when it comes to toast. Spread cooked and mashed butternut squash alongside peanut butter, granola and seeds. @earthbalance…

Lagom is the lifestyle trend about to dominate 2017 . The Nordic word vaguely translates to ‘not too much, not too little’ and it works in every aspect of life. Here’s how to apply it to yours... 1 Eat Well, Most Of The Time Lagom isn’t about starving yourself, but neither is it about stuffing yourself. If you have a big lunch, eat a lighter dinner. Indulging in dessert? Balance it with a healthier main course. 2 Take One Item Off Coco Chanel was already starting on the lagom path! Simplicity is the key – paring back your outfit by taking off one accessory is the key to balance. Our favourite Scandi brands are already doing the streamlined thing well; look to Cos, Weekday and Acne for inspo. 3 Turn…

Picture this: you’ve been searching high and low for the top all your friends have been wearing, but by the time you’ve waded through everything else on the website, it’s sold out. Frustrating, isn’t it? As if by magic, then, came the high street’s 'Trending Now’ cyber sections. You may already be a regular visitor to such pages – or you may not – but trust us, they’re a game changer. It’s where Topshop, Zara, ASOS and H&M group together all of their most popular pieces, making the likelihood of bagging those cult buys a dead cert. Plus, with all the time you’d usually spend hunting through the shop’s entire stock, you can focus on more important things. You know, like perfecting your winged liner, painting your nails, colour co-ordinating…

“She’s very strong but there have been a few teary moments” Victoria Beckham should be basking in the reviews of her New York Fashion Week show. She should be looking forward to her next project, the second drop of her Estée Lauder make-up range (out Friday). She should at least be thinking about a holiday. But following leaked emails between husband David, 41, and his PR advisor Simon Oliveira, Victoria, 42, has a more pressing job: working on her marriage and saving the pair’s public image. It’s Operation Brand Beckham. 'Victoria will do whatever it takes to get back on track,’ says an insider. 'She knows they can do it.’ But can they? 'Beckileaks’ has been a huge PR blow to the couple. The explosive emails, which seem to reveal…

‘Cheryl is having the baby now!’ exclaimed fans last week after it was revealed her boyfriend Liam Payne was returning to the UK after his US trip. Liam, 23 , who’s been recording music for the past month, was reunited with Chez at their Surrey pad and Cheryl, 33 , is said to be ecstatic to have her‘family’ofhimand their dogs back together. As Look previously revealed, the Girls Aloud star had been reaching breaking point over their separation and she’s now issued Liam with new rules. ‘Cheryl wants their relationship to come first,’ says our insider. WhileCherylhasn’t commented on pregnancy speculation, it’s understandable that she would want support at this time . ‘When Liam got back she told him she found it much harder than she’d expected,’ adds our source.…

‘The petition gaining so much attention worldwide was something I never could have predicted. I knew my case wasn’t isolated; as women I think we become used to the fact that society pressurises us to change the way we look on a daily basis. It had become normal to me that an employer would gobeyondasking me to look professional in the workplace and suggest I needed to look more attractive to do my job. I hope the law changes, as I believe it should reflect society and work for the people. What has been powerful already, however, in terms of provoking a culture shift, is that people are talking about it. Women who may not previously have questioned their employer have been empowered by others and have spoken about their…

Sassy’s Mantra: ‘Balance and flexibility, literally and figuratively’ BALLET CARDIO ‘During my 10 years of dance training, I developed a workout routine to keep me strong and supple. Ballet Blast is a fast, ballet-inspired cardio that fuses HIIT with classical dance principles. It’s all about working at length to engage all the muscles throughout the body.’ HOMEMADE GRUB ‘I’m really into warming foods at this time of year. Right now I’m loving gingerbread porridge; sweet, spiced oats that taste like Christmas in a bowl. I’m making lots of big one-pot curries for dinners and I’ve started making raw chocolate with chilli flakes and lime juice. It’s incredibly addictive.’ THE PERFECT SMOOTHIE ‘I start with a big tablespoon of almond butter, which is a must in my blender, then I like…
