Smartphone footage of Styles brushing a hand away from his crotch – mid song, and kudos to Hazza, he did not miss a note – emerged; fans got outraged on Twitter. They called it ‘sexual assault’, they called it ‘inappropriate touching’ – the hashtag #RespectHarry trended. And me? I remembered the time I sustained a large bruise on my left hand while trying to touch a member of Take That at the O2. I mean, I was going for his bicep, not his crotch, he (along with his bandmates) was walking through the crowd, semi-naked and sweaty, apparently enjoying the attention, I was by no means the only on onee at it, and he deffo seemed to like it… But ut isn’t that what every perv since pervingg began says,…

MY FRIEND LUCY brings me a present from New York. Earrings by cult brand Vita E Liberta NYC that spell the word ‘cunt’, aka, my favourite word. ‘They’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!’ I say, reassured someone knows me well enough, to get me something so perfect. I attach them to my lobes, Boomerang a head tilt that shows them off to their best, rudest advantage, pop it on Instagram. Within minutes, Likes heap up, along with approving emoji. There is much ‘OMG NEED’; a lot of followers @ people who aren’t following me, because they want the non-followers to take note with ref to a birthday; those non-followers follow me. In Instagram terms, this is a Win. At the same time, I appear to be offending people.…

PARENTS ARE THE WORST. I can say this because I am one. But even before I had a baby, I loathed parents for their inability to recognise that no one cares about their child as much as they do. And nowhere is this delusion more evident than on social media. Scrolling through my Facebook feed, I used to flag up articles I’d save and read later. Now it’s clogged up with photos of other people’s children – little Sophie* eating broccoli at seven months, Arthur* full of cold and miserable, or Amara* dressed as a #princess for #WorldBookDay. Other than grandparents or a doting aunt, why can’t parents see no one is interested? Just start a family WhatsApp group. Having unfollowed the worst offenders, I now have five friends who…

WE’RE CALLING time on winter blues. Why? Because shorter, colder days mean only one thing: boot season is officially upon us. Finding the right pair can make winter more bearable – and infinitely more stylish. But what style should you go for? The good news is anything goes and Kurt Geiger’s new collection has you spoilt for choice. A no-brainer for off-duty days, block-heel ankle boots are this season’s wear-with-everything style. Perfect for tomboys, chunky, lace-up styles give pared-back looks a tough-luxe spin. And if you’re drawn to knee-highs, channel the ’80s (in a good way) in slouchy, pointed boots – we love Carvela’s sophisticated suede ones worn over jeans with a long-line blazer. Looking for something that’s more of a statement? Thigh-highs rule right now. The modern way to…

MAIN PHOTOGRAPHY: MARCO VITTUR. STYLING: SAMANTHA FREEDMAN. CHARLOTTE TILBURY: CHARLOTTETILBURY.COM OLIVIA COWLEY ROYAL BALLET DANCER CHARLOTTE TILBURY MAGIC FOUNDATION, £30 My skin gets really blotchy whenever I dance strenuously, which makes me self-conscious. The problem is, until now, I’ve struggled to find something that doesn’t end up sliding down my face during a performance, or clog my pores after a show. I don’t like wearing too much make-up during the day, because we wear a lot during showtime. Stage make-up is typically heavy so the audience can see our facial expressions from afar. Thick formulas have made me break out in the past, so I try to use a foundation that provides full coverage without feeling like a mask. Six months ago I came across Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Foundation, and…

PHOTO: ERIC RUBENS (@ERUBES1) Aitutaki Lagoon, Cook Islands When flying into the island of Aitutaki, part of the South Pacific’s Cook Islands, make sure you bag yourself a window seat. The Aitutaki Lagoon is often described as paradise on earth, and to see it from above is stunningly beautiful – the water shimmering in layers of blue and green, the fine white sand beach fringed by towering palm trees. On the ground, take to a hammock strung between a couple of trees and feel the stress float away, or book into one of the exclusive overwater bungalows at the Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa.…

IN A YEAR’S TIME, the novelist, feminist and fictionalist of wilful, righteous outrage, Margaret Atwood will celebrate her 80th birthday. What a way to spend it, knowing that her winter years have been upturning TV, as she once did literature, bending it to her bespoke flavour. At this year’s Emmys, the ferocious retelling of The Handmaid’s Tale cleared the board, leaving less-alert productions cowering in Atwood’s imaginative shadow. Now for round two, as her historical drama Alias Grace takes its small-screen bow. On both, Atwood is executive producer. What has been so wonderfully gratifying about the year TV breathed in the revolutionary social science of Atwood, is that it has been done almost entirely without dilution, and on her terms. Alias Grace takes place in 1859, 15 years after the…

Another week, another eruption of sexual abuse allegations about men in power. Film director James Toback. Photographer Terry Richardson. Like Weinstein, rumours had circulated; like Weinstein, many women came forward only once they felt the world would listen; like Weinstein, both seemed untouchable, protected by power and friends in high places. No more. Industry by industry, fear is being replaced with confidence; silence, with a growing number of voices. See the female MPs warning each other of ‘sex pest MPs’ on a private What’s App group last week. There is no going back. No more hiding in plain sight. No more silence. No more excuses.…

PHOTO: FAMOUS LAST YEAR, it was reported that Tom Cruise hadn’t seen or spoken to his daughter Suri in more than 1,000 days. Last week, the actor officially admitted, ‘She is no longer part of my life.’ Tom, 55, made the astonishing revelation to an old friend, Maryann Carter, Grazia can reveal. It came after Maryann, who has known Tom since she was a teenager, put pictures of Suri in a private Facebook group called Tom Cruise Media. She later wrote on the group page, ‘I am going to ask that no one post anything with Suri in the future. She is no longer a part of his life. If you do, I will erase it. If you continue I will have to remove you. Thanks!’ When someone asked if…

PHOTOS: ©NIVEA, ©LABORATOIRE MERGENS, ©WHITE CURE SCIENCE BLANC, ©JIGOTT I WAS DEEPLY shocked last week by Nivea’s ‘Natural Fairness’ campaign showing Nigerian actor Omowunmi Akinnifesi applying their latest cream, which promises to visibly lighten the skin. Even with ‘safe’ ingredients, the fact major brands are touting the ‘whiter is better’ dream in 2017 is mind-blowing. Globally, skin-lightening products are said to be worth £7.5bn. This ad targeted African consumers, but skin bleaching is a hidden problem in the UK. Here and now, there is still a stigma to having dark skin – I recently had to intervene when I found out a 19-year-old acquaintance was using skin-bleaching creams in London. Indeed, within my family there has been a beauty fatality. A relative living in Nigeria died in her sixties, over…

Little Fires Everywhere Celeste Ng (£14.99, LITTLE BROWN) AS CELESTE NG’S second novel opens, the Richardsons’ mansion has been set ablaze– by little fires everywhere. But within a few chapters, it’s clear that in 1990s Shaker Heights, the same is metaphorically happening all across town. The book’s action is sparked by the arrival of Mia Warren and her teen daughter Pearl, and their link to the Richardsons. Throw in an adoption battle over a Chinese baby, and the stage is set for a drama that will have you thinking long after the last page. Plus, Reese Witherspoon has bought the rights to make it into a mini-series, so get a head-start on next year’s Big Little Lies now.

PHOTOS: GETTY, CAPITAL, AVALON, FLYNET, REX. *NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED Kelly Allen introduces us to the new (old) trend for romance on speed dialÉ If you’ve ever been on an internet date then you’re likely to have experienced the disappointment of meeting someone IRL who doesn’t match up to their messages. So we’re thrilled to see the return of pre-date dialling. There’s a resurgence in potential love interests hitting the green call button and – gasp! – talking instead of WhatsApping. In the past month, I’ve had six men from dating apps ask to call me before a date – and friends have had the same, especially with men under 30. Tom* said he wanted ‘to hear my Northern Irish accent,’ while Stephen*, who went travelling around Australia just after…

PHOTO: KRISTEN KILPATRICK WHITNEY WOLFE HERD talks big. Over a two-hour lunch, the woman who co-founded Tinder, brought a sexual harassment law suit against them, then went on to found the world’s first feminist dating app Bumble, all before the age of 25, passionately peppers conversation with talk of a revolution; how she is changing society and the world. And the thing is, she really is. With 24 million Bumble users globally and over 10,000 Bumble marriages and babies in just three years, she has the goods to back it up. Earlier this year, Forbes reported Bumble had rejected a $450m acquisition offer from Match.com. Whitney is in London for the launch of her latest enterprise, the Bumble Bizz app. Applying the same ‘women make the first move’ practice to…

LAST WEEK’S thor: ragnarok gave us yet another superhero blockbuster starring yet another handsome blond guy called Chris. The film is immense fun, but isn’t it time for a different sort of star? Chris Hemsworth’s co-star Tessa Thompson – who plays the drunken, deadly Valkyrie – thinks so. Along with her fellow Marvel actresses Scarlett Johansson and Elizabeth Olsen, Tessa has been pressing studio boss Kevin Feige to make an all-girl superhero film. The boys have had 17 Marvel films now – with women confined to supporting roles – and the ladies want their turn. ‘I walked up to Kevin Feige with Black Widow (Scarlett) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth) [to make the case],’ Tessa said. ‘Brie Larson is now in the Marvel universe. I mean, Angela Bassett is. I want…

PHOTOS: ED MILES Q ‘Even though I have a husband and young children, so I’m rarely alone, I feel lonely. It’s a gnawing sorrow I can’t seem to shake and, even when I go out with my friends, I somehow feel disconnected. How can I fill this void?’ ELEANOR SAYS: Humans are social creatures by design. Our nervous systems are built to connect with one another. Our behaviour, thoughts and actions are reflected through the prism of other people. Yet, sometimes, even when we’re around other people all the time, we can feel lonely – or something we can only describe as loneliness. It might be helpful to re-frame the word ‘lonely’, though, because if we subscribe to the general wisdom that lonely means being alone – which you’re not…

PHOTOGRAPH ED MILES “I’M ASHAMED TO SAY I JUDGED OTHER MUMS WHO QUIT” I FOUND OUT I was pregnant 11 days after ‘the sex’. In those 11 days I managed to fit in two work trips to Geneva and three benders, during one of which I saw the sun rise. We’d just started trying and didn’t actually think it would happen. I was 32, bored of hangovers and having a baby just seemed… so novel! I guess people don’t expect to hear the news ‘I’m pregnant’ in a bar at 1am. This might explain why a few responded with ‘On purpose?’ It was less an announcement and more an explanation as to why the soda in my hand contained no vodka. Being the first in my friendship group to fall…

I had my son when I was 19. I lived alone with little money and no help, his father having no interest in even holding him. I was depressed, skint, starving, but I managed. Sleepless nights, screaming fits, tantrums, learning difficulties and autism, full-time work plus two degrees, and 21 years later my son is polite, happy and loving, and the most amazing man I’ve ever known. I know other women who have done the same and I would never change a thing. I do understand the writer’s frustration, but I hope she decides that, actually, she can do it alone.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL I identified so easily with the article ‘I thought I could raise a baby alone. I was wrong’, 23 Oct). Seven years and six pregnancies later, Bea was born and my heart exploded with love. Four months later, surviving on two to three hours of sleep a night, I couldn’t believe I found caring for my much-longed-for bundle of joy so hard. And I have the support of my husband – I can’t imagine how people do it alone. This piece was bravely written and will have touched so many women who have been conditioned to believe that struggling with motherhood is a personal failing. Gemma…
