I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a bit of a gift-buying maverick. Perhaps it’s the years spent sorting the best dresses from, well, very similar dresses, but I have an innate ability to figure out the things that make people tick. The trick is to put yourself in the recipient’s shoes: I used to buy what I thought people needed, but now choose things they actually want, with finesse. Which is why, for our very own bumper gift guide, we asked those closest to us what they’d like under the tree, so you can look like you have clairvoyant abilities come 25 December. From mum-approved PJs and kitchen worktop wonders to the gadgets that will get you in your bro/BF/best mate’s good books, you’ll find all the presents the…

“Ri knows what makes her happy and isn’t afraid to ask for it” We’re convinced that Rihanna must be having trouble thinking of a New Year’s resolution. Music, beauty, fashion – Ri’s smashed every area of her career this year and bagged herself a hot new fella, too – 29-year-old Hassan Jameel. Success all round, basically. But while the singer, 29, has kept her romance under wraps over the last few months, an insider speaking exclusively to Look has revealed exactly how Ri and Hassan have made it work and whether they’ll be spending the holidays together. ‘Rihanna and Hassan are still going strong,’ says a close friend. ‘Ri has learnt a lot from her past mistakes, she knows what makes her happy and isn’t afraid to ask for it.…

It’s officially party season and that means one thing: it’s time to find the one. A dress, that is. Buying the perfect frock to see you through all the festive fun is key, so we’ve sussed out the dresses that are bound to be all over our Insta-feeds. Fellow partygoers will pay top dollar to get their hands on the one that got away, so if you buy these, then dry-clean and pop ’em on eBay, you’ll get some £££ back. Because fashion FOMO is the worst… HIGH SHINE Following the success of that gingham sundress that sold out instantly in stores, only to reappear on eBay for three times the price (yes, really), we reckon this90s-style fun foil mini is another sure-fire hit. EASTERN PROMISE It’s the dress on…

“She couldn’t force something that wasn’t there” The festive season is always make or break for relationships. Either you’re getting engaged on Christmas Eve or, well, you’re being dumped. For Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky, it’s sadly looking like the latter. As Look revealed last week, the pair have been going through a rocky patch – and now it seems they’ve split for good. ‘It’s been a long time coming,’ explains a close friend. ‘Jen admired Darren from an intellectual point of view, but ultimately they weren’t physically compatible. They’re very different people and she couldn’t keep trying to force something that wasn’t there.’ It’s been an emotional time for 27-year-old Jen – not only was she hauled into Chris Pratt and Anna Faris’ divorce (fans of the couple unfairly…

Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealing Crème, £24 This is heavy duty without being cakey. I’ve tried a lot of other brands and haven’t come across one yet that’s as good at concealing and leaving a natural finish. @luciabordi It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye, £22.50 Super thick, always lasts the day and manages not to set into the fine lines around my eyes – this is the one. I buff it in with a little brush and then might only need a tiny bit later on to freshen up.

What’s the story? Based on the true story of the actor and director Tommy Wiseau (the man dubbed ‘The Citizen Kane of Bad Movies’) as he struggles to be cast for a role in Hollywood. After multiple rejections, Tommy eventually makes his own movie instead, The Room – notoriously one of the worst films ever created. Who’s in it? James Franco stars as Tommy, alongside his brother Dave. Also starring are Kristen Bell, Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, Zac Efron and Seth Rogan. Why should I care? It’s a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most infamously terrible movies in history and it’s hilarious, and it’s the first time James and Dave have ever had major roles in the same film!

Yup, really – everyone’s obsessing over this rich shade, and we’re firm believers that if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. And that’s exactly what we intend to do thanks to the plethora of golden beauties that have just landed on the virtual and real-life rails. The fancy term for this hue may be ochre, but we’re sticking to our fave hot dog topper to describe it. So, how do you wear mustard without looking like said sauce? It’s all about keeping the look chic, with luxe satins and velvets, and pairing with similar warm tones; burgundy is always a winner to make high-street heroes look way more spenny than they are. We’ve got our eye on the Mango blazer, we mustard-mit. Sorry, couldn’t resist……

Ditch that generic party-dressing stereotype, because the disco has come to town, and we all want in on the trouser trend filling our feeds. With plenty of sequin style inspo, Ganni – along with its dedicated fashion influencer following – is leading the way with its £475 striped pair that, on paper, should look terrible, but are actually the cool alternative to any after-dark ensemble. Luckily for us, the high street has some affordable sparkly styles that match up to the original. One piece of advice, though – make sure you bag ’em quick, ’cause we predict a sellout.…

“When I’ve eaten well and worked out, I feel confident” Every time we catch up with Frankie Bridge, we find something else that we love about her. This time, she tells us she put her Christmas decorations up in mid-November – just the kind of holiday spirit we need. Chatting to the 28-year-old mum-of-two as she showcases the stunning new George make-up range (available at Asda now), Frankie reveals her beauty secrets, what makes her feel confident, and the one thing that Wayne is really good at… Hi Frankie!

‘If you want hanging decorations for cheaps, why not collect some pine cones, coat with clear PVC glue, give them a quick dip in fine glitter, then simply thread and hang.’LUCIE CLIFFORD, FASHION STYLIST It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and we’ve gone wild for Nordic-inspired interiors. Imagine yourself sitting snugly inside a log cabin, warmed by a roaring fire and surrounded by soft faux fur, stained wood and clever crafty creations – even if you’re just sat in your shared house, eh? Bring the North Pole home this season, and show Santa who’s boss in true seasonal style.…
