We’re calling it right now – 2017 is the year to inject a serious dose of joy into your life. It’s fair to say the last 12 months haven’t exactly been filled with happiness (although it turns out anxiety could actually be your secret weapon, see page 34). But there’s no better time to go mad for that very un-British of emotions – and we are on a mission to bring it to you! So… 1. Turn to page 14 to read Terri White’s piece on La La Land , the film that will genuinely make you want to sing from the hilltops, à la The Gosling and Emma Stone. And then go straight to see it. It’s the only way to fill your January evenings (what? You’re going to…

 LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, Grazia revealed that Sienna Miller’s ex-fiancé Tom Sturridge, 31, was doing everything he could to win her back after the breakdown of their engagement in summer 2015. “IN HIS HEART, TOM WOULD LOVE FOR THEM TO BE A PROPER FAMILY At the time, friends of the actor reported that Tom had offered to move to New York so that Sienna could focus on relaunching her Hollywood career and hopefully rekindle their romance. But when Sienna moved there with the couple’s four-year-old daughter Marlowe, it seemed she had left Tom – and his hopes of a reunion – behind. Any chances of getting back together were further dashed when the actress was linked to Foxcatcher director Bennett Miller. However, eyebrows have been raised in some quarters…

AT LEAST ONCE A week, I’ll find myself battling a sudden, shocking breathlessness. It comes on swiftly, out of nowhere, with a fizzling undercurrent of nervous energy that seems to crackle from my fingers and toes like small jolts of electricity. It keeps me up at night. It leaves me distracted in meetings. It makes me unsettled, under-confident and wary of new situations. It is anxiety, and it has been part of my life for well over a decade now. I’ve always thought of my susceptibility to stress and anxiety as one of my biggest flaws. It’s the albatross around my neck; the thing that has made me weak, unhinged, unappealing to new employers and undesirable to prospective partners. But what if this was all wrong? What if, this year,…

I’VE ALWAYS LOVED the feeling of having a strong body. I’m a health and well-being coach and I used to love nothing more than starting my day with an early morning run. It was always guaranteed to clear my head and lift my mood, ready for whatever the day had coming my way. That’s why I still can’t quite believe that my body is giving up on me. My life changed irrevocably on a Tuesday afternoon in August 2015. I was in a coffee shop, answering a WhatsApp on my phone, when I was suddenly overwhelmed with racing heart palpitations. I thought it was a reaction to the caffeine and drove home, but by the time I got there, my throat started closing up and I was struggling to breathe.…

Why we loved it Our inner princess is ever craving concrete evidence that crowns aren’t just for the blue-blooded. Ways to work it To steer clear of hen party territory, pair your hair accessory with a low-key style – a twisted ponytail is just the ticket. Be sure to add movement and shine for extra kudos.…

FOOD TREND GUT REACTION Eating a wide variety of foods ensures healthy gut bacteria and a good metabolic rate, which helps reduce weight gain. Leafy greens are good at creating healthy bacteria – try to aim for 70 per cent of your plate to be green. Up the veggie factor by adding a plant-based meal, such as a green smoothie, to your daily diet. BE PREPARED Pre-roasting all your veggies for the week ahead not only makes cooking dinner much quicker on work nights, it also keeps the nutrients in the food, and the taste is often so much better. I roast three trays at a time and divide the vegetables into hard, medium and soft. I drizzle over a little oil, sprinkle sea salt then roast them at 180ºC/Fan160º/Gas…

Photos: All Star Giovanni Ribisi was Phoebe’s loveable dimwit brother in Friends, Ted’s captor in the effervescent Seth MacFarlane bromance and once the IRL husband of noughties supermodel Agyness Deyn. From henceforth his CV will be defined by Sneaky Pete, a bold, original conman tale developed under the auspicious hand of Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. Ribisi plays the title role straight, flexing an acting muscle I haven’t seen him use before. Cranston is Vance, a sharp-suited gangland overlord with a speciality in terrifying eyebrow manoeuvres. Fresh out of prison, Pete assumes the identity of his cellmate and goes to live with their family. So many more multiple layers of deception begin threading through Sneaky Pete, a tale of love, belonging and criminality, that it feels like reading a gripping blue-collar…

Photos: Goff Photos YOU MAY HAVE FELT it this New Year. I know I did. Normally level-headed, firm-hearted types watching Elf for the fourth time; choosing to stay on the sweet, sweet wine as 2016 faded and – in my case – point-blank refusing to remove the fairy-light-studded tree from the corner of the living room, no matter how much it shed. There’s something a little different about 2017. There’s something a little bit different about us in 2017. It’s not so much a new year as a new age. One in which we’re seeking out – wait for it – that seemingly most un-British of things: joy. Proof – beyond my pile of needles – has come in the unlikeliest of forms. A musical (yes, really) called La La…

KATE HUDSON AND MATT BELLAMY Kate Hudson has no doubt taken tips from her close friend and conscious uncoupler Gwynnie. Last month, Kate joined her ex Matt Bellamy and his girlfriend Elle Evans on holiday in Colorado before Christmas. The couple have a son, Bingham. KATE BECKINSALE AND MICHAEL SHEEN They split after eight years together, but Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen – who have a daughter together – are on such good terms that she and his new girlfriend Sarah Silverman have become close. Apparently, Kate often sleeps over at their home and Sarah has previously admitted, ‘I love her. She’s hilarious. She’s really, really cool.’ ORLANDO BLOOM AND MIRANDA KERR According to Miranda, the former couple – who split in 2014 – are still good friends and have…

Photos: Getty Images When Donald Trump followed (and then panic-unfollowed) @EmrgencyKittens on Twitter last week – we assume as a rest from inciting war with some of the world’s superpowers – all eyes were back on the future US President’s extraordinary Twitter feed. The dose of fluffy fun was only the 43rd account he’d followed, after a handful of right-leaning TV bigwigs and high-profile golfers. Meanwhile, his dramatic language (he’s used ‘loser’ 235 times) is high-school diss at best. It’s become tricky to sift posts by real ‘The Donald’ from the countless parody accounts in his name. Here we compare posts written just for us by the hilarious @Trump_is_Hip with those of president-elect Trump. Can you spot the difference in this game of Trump true or false? 1. Kim, why…

Photos: Capital Pictures, Photoshot I’m implementing a three-year statute of limitation on my grudges. Anyone I believe has wronged me within the last three years is still very much subject to my wrath (should sleep with one eye open/wonder if I have something to do with literally anything that goes wrong in their lives. Didn’t get that job you thought you were getting? Cat gone missing? Hair gone shit? Could be me, my non-friend who was mean about me on Twitter but didn’t @ it at me, so thinks I didn’t notice! Could just be me!). However, if you wronged me earlier than that, well… while I will never do you any favours, know that I won’t be actively seeking your downfall, either. I won’t even smirk in the event…

OUR PANEL CHARLIE GOWANS-EGLINTON Grazia’s fashion news and features editor has an eye for the eclectic and a pathological fear of men in flip-flops. @charliegowans HADLEY FREEMAN Hadley is staff writer at The Guardian. She can recite the whole of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – and is proud of it. KENDALL JENNER CHARLIE SAYS: The Acne jacket might be serious-off-duty-model Kendall, but you can’t take the Kardashian out of the girl: a predisposition to ripped denim and plastic boots runs in the family. ★✩✩✩✩ HADLEY SAYS: What happens when you wear all your freebies at once. Kendall forgot the rule about wearing one trend at a time. Still, what else is being young for than looking like a fool occasionally? ★★✩✩✩ YOU SAY: Kendall’s jacket is EVERYTHING. She could put…

OK, SO GETTING BACK to the grind post Christmas-hols is, well, a bit of a bummer. But it’s true what they say – every cloud has a silver lining, and this one comes courtesy of Tu. Cue the new collection of elevated workwear, sure to put a spring in your step – even when you’re headed to the office at the crack of dawn. And we’re not talking basic black trousers here: the cropped pinstripe jumpsuit, belted at the waist, will work over a pussybow blouse or retro roll neck – try yours with ankle boots. Or layer a red coat over checked separates for a bolt of bright colour on a grey January day. For dress-down Fridays, try a chic miniskirt and zip-detail top. And for the ultimate in…

Photos: All Star, Wenn ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’s junior features writer ★★★★✩ This novel – about two sisters separated at birth: one sold into slavery, the other married to a British slave-trader – tackles 250 years of history in 300 pages. It left me with an understanding of the brutal realities of slavery and the emotional destruction it can leave (in this case) on eight generations of a family. If it’s an enlightening page-turner you want, this is your book. HANNAH FLINT Grazia’s junior news & entertainment editor ★★★★★ Homegoing is hands down the best book I’ve read in months. Starting in 18th century Ghana, it follows eight generations affected by the slave trade, with each chapter told from the perspective of a new character to move the story along to…

SOAP SWANSONG Corrie’s Michelle Keegan makes her first bid for proper, Sheridan Smith-style fame in Tina And Bobby, a carefully rendered tale of the Moores, ’60s football’s golden couple. It’s a canny casting that should take her comfortably through to the second tier of her career, excusing her from the opening arms of reality TV, soap alumni’s other, more forbidding, graduation option. Begins Friday, 9pm, ITV1 UTTERLY COEL Michaela Coel’s performance in Chewing Gum is still one of the great physical tour de forces of recent British TV. An episodic breakdown of sexual inexperience in the city, it now feels like a natural antecedent and inverse of Fleabag for estate kids. S2 opens with her trying to woo back Connor from behind the counter of the local grocery store. Graceful,…

To celebrate their Pre-Fall show in Shanghai, Max Mara have teamed up with Chinese artist Liu Wei on a see-now-buy-now capsule collection. So not only can you shop next season now, but you can bag a work of art while you’re at it… From £239, maxmara.com. SHE’S BACK! After a 13-week sabbatical following her traumatic robbery in Paris, Kim Kardashian made a grand return to social media last week. Her first move? Briefly rebranding herself as ‘Kim’ (à la Cher, Madonna and, er, Cheryl), which sparked speculation that her marriage was in crisis. She swiftly changed her name back to Kim Kardashian West and posted a series of adorable home videos and pics from her family album. AMBER HEARD has claimed Johnny Depp is ‘meanspirited’ for dragging out their divorce,…

[1] Aka the best kind of hot. 1. NON-MOVER JOURDAN DUNN On the one hand, do bugger off, A-list sun seekers, with your superior bods and beaches, while we fester here, all blobby in the rain.

CAN’T AFFORD the latest ruched pink Céline dress (right)? Same here. That’s why we’ve been scouring the spring/summer 2017 catwalks for all the best new styling tricks. They’re going to make your wardrobe fizz and put a spring in your (extreme stiletto-heeled) step – and you don’t have to spend a penny! RESTYLE YOUR CHINOS You didn’t ‘charity’ your chinos? Wise move – they are the new jeans.Co-ord with army green. WEAR THE WRONG SHOE …and be so right! Not just because Céline’s Phoebe Philo says so; S/S ’17 is all about pump-up-the-volume colour (plus see 21: extreme accessories). ROLL YOUR BOYFRIENDS Not him , silly. Grab that ancient pair of boyfriend jeans and roll (don’t fold) their hems to a strict three inches above the ankle bone. The twist:…

Photos: Splash News, Getty Images, Wire Image, Barcroft UPDATE YOUR RECORDS: there’s a new Hollywood power couple in town. Jon Hamm and British actor Juno Temple have sparked speculation that they’re dating – just months after it was rumoured he could be getting back together with his girlfriend of 18 years, Jennifer Westfeldt. Jon and Juno were spotted dining at Little Dom’s in LA, before Christmas. The restaurant is a favourite of Jon’s and he has previously been pictured there with Jennifer. ‘You could sense the sparks between them,’ said a witness. ‘They were casual, laughing loads and being quite loud. They sat right at the front of the restaurant: they definitely weren’t trying to make any secret of the fact that they were enjoying each other’s company.’ The couple…

Photos: Jason Lloyd-Evans TAKE ONE PAIR OF stirrup pants, tuck into all-terrain boots, add a Fair Isle knit and top with a bobble hat. Yes, this may sound like chalet style 101, but this trend is way off-piste, literally - après-ski style has hit the city, and there's not a raclette grill in sight. This is extreme winter dressing; the style set have cottoned on to the fact that clothes don't come cosier than the ski-approved variety - though you needn't know your salopettes from your snowboard to get in on the action. So, what's on the packing list? Fashion's reinvention of the stirrup pant, seen on Balenciaga's A/W '16 catwalk, is still going strong thanks to their marvellous tuck-in-ability: get yours from H&M now. Penelope Chilvers' lace-up snow boots…

I WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM , straightening my hair, when I spotted my friend Carolyn eyeing me. In a few months I was going to be her bridesmaid and, staring at my new bob, she uttered the words we now laugh about (though not at the time): ‘So, um, do you think you’ll grow your hair in time for the wedding?’ Virtually every woman has a nightmare bridesmaid story. We’ve all experienced one of our beloved, normally sane friends transforming into bridezilla before her big day, leaving us trying to cater to her every whim and keep her meltdowns in check. And it can be a uniquely thankless task, as one friend discovered when she ended up spending more than £1,000 organising a hen night. Another was instructed, brutally,…

EXPRESS WORKOUT Imagine a 20-min workout, but with results that match a 90-min high-intensity class, burning up to 500 calories. Enter E-Pulsive, £40 a session, which uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to contract muscles faster than they ever could on their own. IN FORM The secret trick to boosting your workout? ‘Correct form,’ says Elissa El Hadj, founder of FORM body studio in Notting Hill, London (and the woman behind Alessandra Ambrosio’s physique). ‘It will accelerate results and obliterate injuries.’ So, if you’re trying a new move, or you’re unsure of what you’re doing, remember Elissa’s rule: ‘It’s far better to do fewer reps right than many, using a compromised form!’ GO NUTS According to a study reported in BMC Medicine , consuming 20g of plain, unsalted nuts a day…

MASALA CURRY In my opinion, there is nothing better than a good curry and this one is packed full of flavour and tastes really authentic. It’s also full of good fats, so great for a post-workout meal.

Head shot: Anna Huix. Hair and make-up: Sophie Higginson “ ‘STOP LOOKING LIKE YOU’RE GOING TO KISS ME,’ I SAID. ‘OH, I’M NOT GOING TO KISS YOU UNTIL YOU BEG FOR IT,’ HE REPLIED” SEVEN DAYS AFTER reconnecting with The Peacock, the man who slut-shamed me in bed four years ago by telling me I’d never be ‘girlfriend material’, I hopped off the bus ready to meet him. Ready to give him a second chance. I had an open mind, but low expectations. It was safer that way. ‘Hello, you,’ his Essex lilt whispered behind me, his touch reaching for the small of my back. The skin at the base of my neck prickled to attention as I turned around. ‘Hello.’ We locked eyes. My stomach lurched. He was on…

LETTER OF THE WEEK INSPIRING COURAGE I buried my baby twin boys three days ago. The sadness is indescribable. So I read with interest A Winter’s tale (19 December). Pea Gaskin has such a positive outlook in such a dark time. I can relate to the grief she describes and find her story inspiring. I also find it remarkable how other people have reacted to me and my husband. Friends have crossed the road to avoid speaking to us. Other people have carried on with conversations about the weather – like nothing has happened! Thank you Grazia for sharing Pea’s story. Neonatal death shouldn’t be a taboo subject. I hope your article will inspire others to talk about their experiences. Hannah I always enjoy reading Grazia but the first time…

Photo:: Thiemo Sander Grazia IT/Mondadori Photo CAPRICORN 22 Dec – 20 Jan Admit that, although you don’t like to appear judgmental, you’re irritated by somebody close. And you do need to discuss with that person the fact that you’re overworked, overtired and lack the energy and patience to tolerate petty little incidents. Mercury in your sign is reminding you of how well you articulate even the most difficult thoughts and feelings when you put your mind to it. AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb Although you’re right to make sure you haven’t hurt the feelings of a loved one or friend, you mustn’t become near-paranoid about it. Your emotions are being stirred up by the Sun confronting Uranus and causing you to imagine that your behaviour has been thoughtless. Establish…

‘I’LL TELL YOU A SECRET – I’M NOT A VERY GOOD SWIMMER’ TOM DALEY, 22 We ask the Olympic diver to take an exclusive selfie – and reveal all Who is your best friend? Sophie Lee [above], who I met in secondary school. We do everything together. She’s the only person I can be around without feeling like we have to talk. That’s a best friend. What’s your biggest regret? Muffins that weren’t as good as I thought they’d be. I’d never regret a really good slice of cheesecake, but when a muffin isn’t delicious I often wish I hadn’t eaten it. What’s your biggest extravagance? My jet ski, which cost £8,000. I used to take it out in Plymouth and used it every weekend for two and a half…
