Friendships come in all shapes and sizes. Some are years in the making, while others are instant. Some come in twos or threes or even fives. And some friendships are rectangular and made of paper. Stay with me... Here at Look, we’ve made it our mission to be your personal wingwoman – a pal of the purest form. We’ll never cancel dinner plans or turn up 45 minutes late for a shopping trip. Similarly, we won’t bombard you with well-intentioned but ill-advised guidance (be it on trends, boys, careers or otherwise) just because we think it’s what you want to hear. Instead, we’re hell-bent on helping you make the right choices and, yes, that includes the correct purchases. So to celebrate Friends Day on 8 June, we’ve dedicated this issue…

“It hurts Brad to see his family without him” If there was an award for the most passive-aggressive divorce battle, we know who’d be going up to collect the gong. As Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s split saga continues, it seems the pair have tapped into new tactics. According to our source, they’ve gone from all-out war to subtle swipes in a matter of weeks. Let’s be honest: the pair have come a long way since speaking through lawyers last year. As Look reported recently, Brad and Ange seemed to be working together – with Ange’s dad, 78-year-old Jon Voight, being a catalyst to help them patch things up, and Brad saying: 'We’re both doing our best.’ But according to a source speaking exclusively to Look , this was the…

Split in two, then take another section from the outside left and criss-cross behind so it becomes the middle piece. Repeat the otherside and continue the pattern, adding in a small section of hair each time. Finish with got 2 b Glued blasting freeze spray for ultimate hold. Flame-Licked Hair…

“We tend to favour quality over quantity” If the idea of extending your friendship circle by one or two mates has you frantically reaching for your diary, anxiously leafing through each page, wondering how on earth you’ll explain you have zero free evenings for the next three weeks – we feel ya. Once upon a time, having loads of mates was cool. Now it’s inconvenient. Welcome to friendship’s new door policy, where the 'one in, one out’ rule must apply to maintain quality friendships with a small group of friends. Your new boyfriend’s sister is great, but sorry – no room at the inn. It’s definitely a new trend and it seems that our increasingly overloaded schedules are to blame. 'Any relationship takes work and effort,’says, psychologist Dr Glenn Mason.…

CRIMSON + ROSE Take one look at the Zadig & Voltaire catwalk and you’ll see how good crimson looks paired with a softer pink. OK, so we got macaroon vibes initially too, but these tones are surprisingly easy to wear. If in doubt, try a frock and heel combo. That’s wedding season sorted, then… LILAC + LEMON Lilac was a major player on the SS 17 runways and since then we’ve been trying to work out how to wear this sherbet hue without looking like a Parma Violet. The solution? Team it with lemon… DO go bolder in colour if you have a fair complexion or blonde hair – this way you’ll avoid looking washed out. DON’T wear head-to-toe lilac frills – unless the 80 s bridesmaid look is your…

Adrienne Herbert, 29 , is one busy lady. When she’s not with her son Jude, five, this fitspo queen is running classes, blogging, whipping up delish meals and working out hardcore! Adrienne’s Mantra: ‘If you never try, you’ll never know’ FOLLOWERS: 19 k ‘I shared my passion for fitness on my blog and on social media, too. I’d chat to people about everything from smoothie recipes to running playlists. I found a community of like-minded women.’ INJURY-FREE ‘Prioritise rest, stretching and sleep. If my run is longer than 90 minutes, I always have an ice bath after. It’s horrible but it speeds up my recovery and my legs feel great afterwards.’ YOU CAN EAT PASTA! ‘My healthy food swap is pasta sauce. I make my own using garlic pesto or…

1 Team up You might be sat near the loudest/quietest/most annoying person but pair up on a project to understand them and make your life easier. 2 Create a partition That’s right, Lord Of The Flies-style. Draw a line across the desk and insist that any objects crossing that line will either be destroyed or repossessed. It may sound extreme but you’ve got to be strict otherwise you might find your deskmate’s mess spreading like wildfire across your work space. Setting boundaries will keep your friendship tight in the long run. Honest. 3 The headphones policy The likelihood is that you’ve been forced to cohabit with someone else because your roles are linked in some way. In order to keep bickering and distractions to a minimum, enforce the headphones policy.…

“It’s a huge shock. Jen looked up to them” We have to admit, when news broke last week that Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor had split after 17 years of marriage, we were pretty heartbroken. But not as heartbroken as BFF Jennifer Aniston, who’s reportedly taken the separation particularly badly. According to a source speaking exclusively to Look , while Jen, 48, is 'absolutely devastated’ that her friends have decided to part ways, it’s also instilled fresh new worries about her own marriage to 45-year-old Justin Theroux. 'It’s a huge shock for Jen,’ reveals a close pal. 'She’d always looked up to Ben and Christine as being a power couple – Ben was the one who actually introduced Justin and Jen when they worked on Tropic Thunder together…

Why cycle? ‘It’s an all-over workout,’ says Lizzie. ‘Your legs are worked the most, and you need good core stability so you’re not wobbling around.’ Lizzie’s 20-min bike workout 5 mins – Cycle on whatever resistance feels comfortable to get your legs warmed up. 8 mins – Progressive. Go up a gear every minute. To make this harder week by week, start off on a higher resistance. 5 mins – Five sprints. Turn the resistance up, get up out of the saddle and go as hard and as fast as you can for 10 seconds. Then rest for 50 seconds before going again. 2 mins – Cool down. Stretch before and after… ‘Especially the hamstrings,’ advises Lizzie. ‘Doing a core stability session is more important than stretching; you can get…

While we’re busy counting down the days, rewatching season four and clearing our schedule so we can binge-watch all 13 episodes, we caught up with Taylor Schilling (who plays Piper Chapman) to talk misogyny, personal growth and the explosive new series… Hi Taylor! What does season five hold for Piper? ‘It really opens it up. We experience a riot in the prison in real time so there’s less room for character development – it’s more focusing on the political implications within the prison.’ It’s obviously a big vote of confidence that the show’s been renewed for…

 Binky Felstead cannot stop smiling – and it’s easy to see why. The 26-year-old is so happy right now: her once rocky relationship with Josh 'JP’ Patterson is 'better than ever’ (they’ve even just bagged a spin-off reality series following Binky’s announcement that she’s left Made In Chelsea) and most importantly, she’s a mummy. This is definitely Binky’s year. “I’m just so content, we both are” While launching her new In The Style summer collection, we caught up with Binky to hear all about becoming a mum. While she can’t stop gushing about her baby girl, she’s looking forward to getting back to normal, squeezing into her skinny jeans and enjoying every second of motherhood. Is she feeling pressure to shed her baby weight quickly? Not really, but she admits…

“I’m a sucker for slogan tees, but this blouse takes my obsession to chic new heights. The slinky fabric makes it ideal for nights out (just add a lace skirt), but for day, nothing beats a tapered trouser” “Jeans are my daily outfit go-to – I have so many pairs. And after eyeing up these two-tone wonders, I knew I had to have them. The contrasting side panel instantly elongates my legs, meaning I can wear them with chunky flat boots without feeling frumpy” “Fish and chips. Ant and Dec. Leather and denim. Some duos just work, and that can definitely be said of this texture combo. I’ve styled them with a slinky shirt in blush pink for a soft touch”…
