Everyone loves to hate on January, don’t they? I get it – once the sparkle from the festive season fades and all you’re left with is the routine you left behind back in December, it’s difficult to feel motivated. So much so, this coming Monday – 15 January – is tipped to be the most depressing day of the year. Sad face. Ever the optimists, though, the team here at Look have only one thing to say to Blue Monday: challenge accepted. Instead of wallowing in despair, in the following pages you’ll find more ways to give your mood a boost than you can shake a suitably positive stick at. Think feel-good fashion finds from as little as £2 and make-up that comes with confidence as standard, as well as…

Looking at Angelina Jolie in 2018 is like looking at a brand-new person, following the hardest two years of her personal and professional life. Her 2016 divorce from Brad Pitt catapulted her into a world of mudslinging and negativity, causing the star to retreat into the background. The actress tried to stay off-camera, instead choosing to pursue solo projects, like her Netflix movie, First They Killed My Father: A Daughter Of Cambodia Remembers – concentrating on directing and also teaching her Master’s course at the London School of Economics in Women, Peace and Security. But we’re told that Angelina has completely changed her mindset and is now heading back into the public glare – where she can campaign for the causes she is most passionate about. ‘Angelina is finally at…

Fresh from her winter holiday, Jessica Biel is well into awards season planning – and no wonder. Despite having several lead actress roles to date, it’s new Netflix drama The Sinner (available now) that’s earned her several nominations already. Based on the bestseller by Petra Hammesfahr, The Sinner (if you’ve not binged through the entire series in a day yet), is centred on mother Cora Tanetti, who commits a violent murder, and the eight-parter is all about discovering why she does it. It’s been the topic of way too much office debate. Becoming mum to son Silas, two, in 2015, has been key to the role, says Jessica, 35, and unsurprisingly husband of five years Justin Timberlake, 36, is a big fan, too. Duh, Justin. We sat down to find…

RIP cousin... can’t believe it was just last night that I held you in my arms! never thought that would be the last time I felt the warmth in your body!!! Love you always man! #endgunviolence.’ Rihanna posted this just hours after spending the day with her 21-year-old cousin, Tavon Kaiseen Alleyne, following the revelation he had sadly been killed in the star’s hometown in Barbados. The awful news has hit Rihanna, who is extremely close to all her family, extremely hard, according to close pals, and the singer has been left reeling. “She wants to be sure this can never happen again” ‘Rihanna was especially close to Tavon and, naturally, it has hit her very hard,’ explains an insider. ‘It’s reminded her how precious life is and reinforced the…

Acne affects around 80 per cent of young people at sometime, but it’s not just a teen problem. Adult acne is on the rise and getting it under control can be difficult and expensive. We spend a staggering £369 million every month on make-up to hide skin conditions like acne, and that’s before we fork out for various lotions and potions to treat it. Once it’s gone many are left with an even greater problem: scarring. There are two types of acne scars: ones that look like pits or craters in the skin (depressed), and ones that are raised. You’re more likely to get the depressed kind on your face, and raised ones on your chest and back, but both are difficult to treat and are hard to disguise, causing…

We’re mega chuffed for Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright. After living thousands of miles apart for the majority of 2017, they’re looking more loved-up than ever, and we’ve heard they’re making some big plans for the year ahead. According to an insider, the pair – who are currently in LA – are house hunting for a new pad Stateside. They’re both self-confessed home birds, but while Mark’s move to LA last September was never intended to be permanent, the couple are said to be considering staying in the US for a longer period of time, with Michelle, 30, reportedly having a change of heart and looking to find them a more long-term home. ‘The turnaround from the summer has been mind-blowing,’ explains a friend. ‘For a couple of months, it…
