Brazil Babes Alessandra Ambrosio and Gisele Bündchen Where: Duh! Rio! What Alessandra’s Wearing: A cold-shoulder dress from her own collection (natch) Ále By Alessandra, a straw hat and a chic basket bag that literally has summer written all over it. Hannah Banks-Walker, Fashion News Writer says: ‘Want to know how to dress for the beach? Look no further. Alessandra is a megababe in this summery ensemble and I want to steal that bag right from her perfect hand. Meanwhile, Gisele was the star of the opening ceremony, no less, looking resplendent in floor-length sequins. Brazilians just do it better, don’t they?’…

4 HOURS OR LESS OK, so it’ll still warrant a couple of hours for passport control or Brit border crossings, but the short travel time frame means you can have all the fun with your #ootd. Follow Margot’s lead with a figure-hugging denim dress, leg-lengthening wedges and sophisticated sunnies. IN YOUR BAG… • COMPACT MIRROR • LIPPIE • PERFUME • MAGAZINE • HEALTHY SNACK • HEADPHONES 4-10 HOURS Your journey’s still in bearable territory but it’ll feel longer when you’re crammed into economy. What you need is something chic but snug. Rosie’s got the right idea – a classic jumper and jeans combo. We’re all for crease-resistant fabrics and ante-upping add-ons. IN YOUR BAG… • PLENTY OF SNACKS • BOOK • HAND CREAM • NECK PILLOW • LIP BALM •…

Considering the style set dare to deck their feet in everything from furry slippers to fugly flatforms, you probably won’t be surprised to hear what they’re wearing now: driving shoes. Yep, complete with dotted sole grips, even Suki Waterhouse has been sporting a pair of Tod’s iconic flatties. But not everyone in the Look office is convinced. You’re about to hear what two of the team have to say on the matter – but the real question is will you go there? No Way! Fashion Stylist Lucie Clifford says: When the topic of driving shoes – loafers with weird toggly undercarriages and no toe cleavage whatsoever – came up in the office I had to voice my complete and utter loathing for these shoes. They remind me of upper-class grannies…

Condiment Colourways It started with mustard and the rest of the condiment crew followed suit. Yep, fashion is looking pretty saucy this season – so what’s your flavour? Ketchup Red A firm fixture on every catwalk from Gucci to Chanel, nothing will make your wardrobe feel fiercer than a healthy dollop of ketchup red. For a subtle approach, try pairing a red accessory (read: a sexy court or ladylike top-handle tote) with camel or navy staples Mustard Yellow Bright yellow is a key player in the colour chart. For the brave, team with cobalt blue, or with jeans and a white shirt for a more neutral take. Work with white tailoring for a fresh take on your office outfits HP Brown We all know it’s not the most alluring of…

Roughed-up and raring to go (but still flawless, FYI), Michelle Keegan is set to make quite the debut in BBC One’s Our Girl, if the trailer for the new series is anything to go by. But while the 29-year-old actress should be excited about the military drama hitting our screens, sources say that behind closed doors she’s struggling as speculation continues over her marriage to former TOWIE hunk Mark Wright, who she wed in May last year. We can’t help but feel sorry for Mich, as family and friends have been voicing their opinions, too. 'Hopefully it’s not too long until I’ll be an auntie,’ gushed Mark’s sister Jess, 30, last week. The comment is believed to have irritated Michelle, who’s been open about wanting to wait to have children…

How my hair looks is pretty important to me and I, like so many women, am addicted to heat styling. After a recent telling off from my hairdresser, he suggested I cut down on heat until my next visit. He looked noticeably disgusted when I described the metal round brush I was using every day. 'You’re literally burning your hair,’ he remarked! So when Tangle Teezer approached me to test its new Blow-Styling Smoothing Tool, I wondered if I would finally be able to style my locks in a less damaging way. After washing and conditioning, I used my trusty Original Tangle Teezer, which I’ve kept in my handbag for years, to gently comb out my towel-dried hair. I would never usually use a brush to blow dry, so I…

Meet The Team Lydia Thompson Beauty Editor Chloe Burcham Deputy Beauty Editor Gabrielle Dyer Beauty Writer #Trending What do you get when you mix a cult beauty buy with one of fashion’s coolest designers? This skincare superstar, that’s what! Thanks to the limited edition bottle design by Jason Wu, Caudalie’s beauty elixir is now as pretty as it makes our skin. Chloe Dry Skin Saviour OK, so I have a confession. Sometimes I just can’t be bothered to moisturise from head to toe… but this spray-on body hydrator has recently been getting me out of bad habits. It makes keeping your body soft and smooth as easy as 1, 2, 3! Gabrielle Complexion Perfection Late night drinks + early morning spin classes = extremely tired skin. But these smooth, creamy…

With summer in full swing, you’re probably amping up your fitness game (hello bikini). But, while you might think you’re smashing it at the gym, eating healthily and squatting your way to a Jessica Alba booty, you could be getting it very wrong. Callum Melly, one of the UK’s leading personal trainers and founder of BodyIn8, reveals the most common gym mistakes. 1 YOU CAN’T OUT-TRAIN A BAD DIET Many people think they can ‘eat what they like’ once they’ve been to the gym, but it has to be balanced with a healthy diet to support your workout. 2 BURN THE RIGHT CALORIES Getting sweaty on the treadmill could burn carbs (stored glycogen) rather than stored body fats. Instead, try mixing it up with two HIIT (high intensity interval training)…

Shoes: whether it’s heels, flats, trainers or sandals, we can’t get enough of footwear and the thrill it induces when we find 'the one’ (pair, that is). What else can elevate your jean and tee combo to chic new heights quite like a sleek court shoe, or give a frock cool cred like an unexpected sneaker? If you’re anything like us, you probably already own more styles than you care to count, but still have an urge to add to your collection. Sound about right? Then you’ll be pleased to hear you can do so for less, thanks to our exclusive Moda In Pelle discount. We’ve blagged you 25 per cent off new season styles, meaning you can top up your collection for a fraction of the price. And let’s…

It’s no secret that Brits are obsessed with beauty. But new research has recently surfaced revealing what each area in the UK actually 7 spends their money on… Northern Ireland Northern Ireland is the only region in the UK where eyeshadow sales outperform lipstick and mascara. We love our Anastasia Beverly Hills palette as much as the next girl, but we couldn’t live without our mascara. Birmingham & The Midlands People living in the Midlands are among the biggest buyers of make-up, with Birmingham spending more money on diverse foundation shades than anywhere else in the country. London & The South East Late nights, long hours and polluted streets could be the reason why Londoners spend the most on skincare – with the capital splashing out more on face masks…

Anyone who denies they've spent hours cooing over Grumpy Cat and Scaredy Cat is lying. And if not, they’d better get used to the idea because feline fashion is fast becoming the purrfect addition to your wardrobe. That’s right crazy cat ladies, it’s officially cool to kit yourself out with kitties. Fashion top cats (see what we did?) Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana sent models down the catwalk (OK, that one wasn’t intentional) in tabby-print frocks and tops and now the high street has got the memo, too. Go cat crazy in matching co-ords, or ease in with some cat-adorned arm candy. Meow.…

The phrase 'one-stop-shop’ is overused and a bit clichéd. We’d therefore like to preface this with an apology because it’s the only phrase that’ll do. REVOLVE is an A-list approved online shopping mecca that sells everything from tit tape to wedding dresses to Marc Jacobs jewellery. But convenience and limitless variety aside, it has a cult celebrity following unlike any other (think the Kardashians, Olivia Palermo and Emily Ratajkowski). Nicole Richie loves REVOLVE so much she’s even collaborated with the online behemoth on a collection with her own label House of Harlow, which launched last week. While every California cool girl worth her tan has been shopping REVOLVE’s wares for a while now, it’s so far stayed their best kept secret – until now. With no added taxes and all…

1 The Monday Dieters After an exhausting weekend of chocolate treats and pints of Pinot, this clique has a collective diet that starts on Monday (again). Salads are bought, green juices are drunk and chia seeds are sprinkled… ’til Tuesday afternoon when someone brings round a birthday cake. Well, it would be rude not to, wouldn’t it? 2 THE WORKAHOLICS More annoying than the 'lazeaholics’. After arriving at work an hour earlier than everyone else (you do know you’re not paid for that, guys?), they’re powering through their unread emails before you’ve even made a cup of coffee. And don’t expect to be coaxing them to the pub either – they’ll still be pounding away at their laptops when you leave. It’s a wonder they don’t just set up camp…

base RIMMEL BB CREAM, £6. 99 I love to wear this on holiday. It’s light in texture and gives me a really healthy glow – people constantly ask me about it. It’s a miracle worker! Giselle L’ORÉAL TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION, £ 9 . 99 This is the dreamiest foundation and it really does adapt to your skin tone. Hannah BARE MINERALS ORIGINAL SPF1 5 FOUNDATION, £26. 5 0 I’ve never got on with liquid foundations as I have oily skin, so this powder has won me over. It’s light and non-greasy.

#BOOK Amy Schumer’s Life Rules We don’t need to tell you Amy Schumer is one of our favourite funny women; she’s probably one of yours, too. Now the stand-up comedian, actress and BFF to Jennifer Lawrence has added another string to her bow – penning her first book, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo. Ya see what she did there? To celebrate, here are some of her wisest words of wisdom. You’re welcome… On Feminism ‘I don’t try to be a feminist – I just am. It’s innately inside me. I have no interest in trying to be the perfect feminist, but I do believe feminists are in good hands with me.’ On Life Advice ‘The best advice my mother gave me was to “be a lady”. But I…

OK, before you lose your rag over the fact we’re championing jumpers in August, let us remind you of a couple of things. 1) Being ahead of the curve is Look’s thing and 2) we live in Britain. There – two perfectly good reasons why you need a Hades jumper in your life. Not heard of them before? We’re not surprised. The label is still relatively unknown but now that it’s found a super-fan in the immaculately turned out Alexa Chung, we guarantee it won’t remain under the radar for long. Along the same lines as the Bella Freud knits that literally every stylista seems to own, these beauties (each emblazoned with a cult band or musician) are slightly more affordable, yet just as achingly cool. At £160 a…

Could this be the best bag Zara’s ever made? Like any great love, when we fall for something, we want to shout about it from the rooftops (or the pages of Look ). Which is a regular occurrence now that Zara’s new collection has hit the shelves – every piece is worth an ear-piercing squeal. That said, we reckon the high street giant has surpassed even itself with its latest arm candy offering, which has sparked a meltdown in our office. On first impression it looks like a regular cross-body, but on closer look (in case you hadn’t noticed, we take handbags seriously) it’s so much more than that: it’s actually two bags in one. When you take off the chain strap and flip the teal front over, the bag…

Dr Arthur explains that you need to weigh up whether it’s better to stick with it or let your friendship go: ‘Letting go frequently pays high psychological dividends. However, be cautious – weigh up the pros and cons as it might be far better to demonstrate your own values, such as empathy or forgiveness, before cutting them off completely.' Deep breath – here are the do’s and don’ts of dumping… DO TAKE YOUR TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT If you’ve been friends with someone for a really long time it might be worth giving it another shot. Some people do deserve one last chance. DON’T DO IT BY EMAIL You need to talk face to face and treat them with respect, even if you don’t want to see them any…

Once in a blue moon a beauty buy comes along that blows everything else out of the water. The product in question isn’t a newbie – in fact it’s been around for yonks – but remains one of the industry’s best kept secrets. It’s racked up an impressive five star review on Amazon, with over 700 people saying that it’s the best. So what is it? Nope, it’s not a £50 face cream – it’s a top coat called Seche Vite. Not only will it leave your nails dry in under 10 minutes, it has a high gloss finish that rivals a fresh gel manicure. Yep, it’s the cream of the crop – and we’re glad it’s not just us who think so. Other Heroes We Couldn't Live Without... It…

1 Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, £9.99 Emma: I found this easy to use and great for a super-speedy glow. It dries instantly and creates a nice, light coverage. The only downside is that when you look up close, you can tell that there’s a layer sitting on the skin. Look’s Gabrielle: This is make-up for your legs. If you want not only a false tan but coverage too, this will blur out veins, bruises and other imperfections in a flash. And when you’re done it washes off with soap and water. 2 Cocoa Brown Instant Tan Bronzing Gel Matte, £6.99 Emma: I was wary about this because of its sticky texture, but it blends in really easily. I felt like I’d had a spray tan in just five…

Anaïs Gallagher Rocks Reebok We get she’s Noel Gallagher’s daughter, but at just 16 years old Anaïs is making serious waves in the fashion circuit. She was the freshest FROW face at LFW and now she’s the star of Reebok’s retro ‘Vector’ campaign. Because who better than the spawn of a 90 s icon?
