Aside from family and Drambuie, there are two things my granny loves above all else: scouring Look’s pages for photographs of me (as all grannies would their granddaughters) and buying coats. Granted she lives in North East Scotland, where weighty cover-ups aren’t only recommended, they’re compulsory. Still, on last count, she had 23 of them stashed in her wardrobe, which certainly teeters into obsessive territory. So, when I came into work last week wearing yet another new coat – to the bewilderment of my colleagues – I found comfort in the fact that I know I can’t help my need to 1) keep warm, and 2) look good. It’s clearly hereditary and a product of the harsh Scottish climate I grew up in. However, as the nation descends into chillier…

How would you feel if we told you that you could go forth and conquer the new season in style and blister-free? Say hello – or ni hao – to Feiyue, the Chinese brand behind the trainers taking over your Insta feed. We’re talking about the white ones with the red and blue ticks that literally everyone (Look Influencer Monikh Dale included) has been wearing, and they’re becoming more iconic by the second. We’ve put their popularity down to a few things: 1) They’re the retro plimsoll type that work just as well with ladylike frocks as they do tracksuit trousers and a hoodie. 2) They’re only £44. Nope, we couldn’t believe it either. And 3) Orlando Bloom has a pair. See? You want some now, don’t you? Choose between…

The catwalk has spoken, and we’re keen to follow suit when it looks this fierce. Spotted all over the Christopher Kane catwalk for autumn/winter is a fresh new take on studs. Nope, we’re not talking another new ear piercing, we mean outfits with a rock-chick upgrade. Ring details are cropping up on hems, pockets, collars… basically everywhere, and on everything from coats and trousers to this season’s key accessory: the beret. Giving instant style kudos, it’s an easy way to gain #OOTD points without any effort – perfect, right? This look can go one of two ways, so pick your direction and embrace it with confidence: 1) Team with vinyl separates, animal prints and layered jewels to keep the punky vibe, or 2) offset edgy pieces with soft, floaty dresses…

“I love raw, naked beauty, so I try not to wear too much make-up” Some people might take a rest after winning an Oscar, but not Brie Larson. Winning the award for Best Actress in 2015 for her role in Room made Brie a household name, and the 28 year old is now seriously lapping up the leading actress roles – it’s recently been revealed she’ll star as superhero Captain Marvel (the first Marvel franchise headed by a woman) in the 2019 movie. In the meantime, Brie is starring in highly anticipated drama The Glass Castle (out now), in which she plays real-life author Jeannette Walls. The film is adapted from Walls’ acclaimed 2005 memoir, and explores her poverty-stricken upbringing by deeply dysfunctional parents (played by Naomi Watts and Woody…

From its street-inspired Fenty collection to its functional athletics and running range, Puma already caters for a wide clientele. Now, though, its taken things even further with a new active wear line available in sizes 6-24. Yep, this marks the most size-inclusive selection so far, and will be exclusive to ASOS. The new collection combines style and sport tech in the shape of asymmetric crop tops and mesh panelled tights. And did we mention the cheapest thing is only £25? See? We do love a kit hit bargain.

ith their engagement announcement surely just around the corner (we’re crossing our fingers!), it looks like Prince Harry has been working his royal charm to get the seal of approval from the most important person in Meghan Markle’s life – her mum. Harry, 33, flew Doria Ragland from LA to the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada, last month, so she could enjoy the VIP treatment with her daughter, then wooed her with his hilarious bants at the closing ceremony. ‘Doria’s incredibly protective of her daughter. She doesn’t want any time wasters and needed to be sure that Harry was serious about Meghan,’ a source close to the couple explains. ‘But Harry has been the perfect gentleman and his natural, funny and friendly self. He was really keen to make Doria…

Chemical Exfoliator Not to be confused with classic toner, Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Tonic, £ 5.99 , is an exfoliating liquid. Containing alpha-hydroxy acids, it’s ideal for over- 25 s who want to brighten their complexions. Soak on to a cotton pad and sweep across the face to slough away dead cells and fix uneven tone. Skin is left so soft and reacts better to serums and masks. Grain Exfoliator St. Ives Nourish & Smooth Oatmeal Scrub & Mask, £ 5.65 , is a high street hero that holds its own compared to the more expensive luxe scrubs. Oatmeal and walnut shell powder do a stellar job at removing visible flaky patches that can really dull dry skin. Be warned, harsh scrubbing can cause damage to your skin, though, so…

Topshop Chameleon Highlighter in Mother Of Pearl, £12.50 ‘Every time I wear this undiscovered gem, people ask what it is. It’s very glowy, so you only need the tiniest amount, but you can also build it up for a full-on glow.’ @chloeburcham Urban Decay Jean-Michel Basquiat Blush Palette, £27 ‘I am obsessed with this. Just one stroke gives you a great glow and a natural finish.

Fitness trackers have been around for a while now. There are sleep trackers, calorie counters, cardiovascular calculators… But what if there was one that did it all and looked good? Say hello to Fitbit Alta HR. It’s the world’s slimmest fitness wristband with continuous heart-rate tracking, while it does everything listed above and more. It even comes with seven days’ worth of battery life and wristbands to match any outfit. Look’s verdict: It is seriously hard-wearing and reminds you to stay active constantly.

She’s been keeping herself hidden away looking after their super-adorable son Bear, but it seems Cheryl could be ready to bring back her A-game! The former Girls Aloud star has told friends she wants her man Liam Payne to be at home more so that she can up her career goals and propel herself back into the limelight. Chezza, who gave birth to Bear in March, waltzed back on to the scene last week for Paris Fashion Week, and it’s also rumoured she’ll be coming back to our screens next weekend for Judges’ Houses on The X Factor. All of which has only spurred her on to come back even bigger and better than before. ‘Cheryl has taken a big personal decision to get back in the game and really…

We’re sure we’re not alone when we say that Instagram was once used for one thing and one thing only: stalking. Go on, admit it. Considering we are basically the same person then, you’ll probably have noticed the online platform becoming something else. Something else we all appreciate. A virtual frock shop. Yep, thanks to Look Influencers and bloggers alike, Instagram has cemented itself as a way to shop dresses and have someone else try them on for us. Handy, huh? Here, we present the best of the best. Because ain’t nobody got time for feed filtering… DEBENHAMS’ DESIGNER DOUBLE Studio by Preen has been around for a while, but when it’s 1 ) floral and 2 ) black, we’re instantly sold.

AW1 7  FEELS NOT GONNA LIE – WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO JUMPER SEASON FOR A WHILE NOW ‘This outfit combo is my new go-to look for autumn!’ DENISE VAN OUTEN HIT REFRESH FOR AUTUMN Make some room in your wardrobe, ladies. It’s that time of year again – when everything from jackets and coats, to skirts and shoes needs an update. We’re obsessed with biker style jackets with snug faux shearling and have finally found ‘The One’ at Matalan. We’re glad to see statement zips are here to stay too. In fact, you’ll find them toughening up leather look skirts and jackets, and all over accessories too. Embroidery fan? Then we advise you head to your nearest store or shop the cyber rails to get your hands…

Maroon, burgundy, Bordeaux – whatever you choose to call it, this is the latest shade to be seen in, thanks in no small part to Meghan Markle’s affinity for the hue, and who better to inspire our autumnal wardrobes than the most talked about woman on the planet RN? Naturally, her Aritzia dress sold out at lightning speed and, unsurprisingly, led to a spike in Google searches to shop the colour. If you’re already wearing it, bravo: simply add a few extra separates and rock it top-to-toe for maximum Meghan-inspired impact. We’ll be slipping into anything of the vinyl variety and styling Mango’s achingly cool mini-skirt iteration with a crew neck knit and matching sock boots. For something more caj, a corduroy trouser under a high-shine trench coat is just…

Finding a new foundation can be tricky. Sure, it might look good in the shop – but how do you know if it will wear well? Will the colour change over time? And how will it stand up against that dreaded 3pm oil-slick shine? Well, with a whole range of new foundations launching this A/W promising longer-wearing coverage than ever, we roped in Look’s most beauty-obsessed staff to put them through their bases paces for a whole weekend. Here’s how they faired… Meet The TESTERS “I prefer a more natural finish” Lydia Thompson, Look’s Beauty Editor: Age: 33. Skin tone: Medium. Skin type: Normal/oily. Skin concern: Ageing. ‘I worry that heavy foundations can age me by highlighting any fine lines on my face.’ Foundation to test: Elizabeth Arden Flawless…

1 YOU’RE LIVING AT WORK  If your locker is basically a capsule of your life, stocked with food, cutlery, plates, toothpaste and er, underwear, then you’re in trouble. Go home, hun. 2 YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE BECOMING STRAINED When you realise you’re spending more time small-talking with Steve from the canteen than you are your own partner, something’s gotta give. And if mates are getting peeved, it’s time to implement some changes. 3 YOU’RE CANCELLING PLANS  According to a UK workplace study last year* more than a quarter of 25-34 -year-olds say there’s pressure to work overtime at weekends. But if you’re missing a mate’s wedding to work on a Saturday, you’re stepping into ‘unforgiveable’ territory. 4 YOUR HEALTH IS SUFFERING Lacking sleep, eating unhealthy foods and not getting enough exercise…
