Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK ONE OF THE LADS I loved your feature on ladette culture. As a teen in the ’90s, these women showed me a different way to be female. I’m sure so many others like me actually found behaving like ‘lads’ helped them find a new way to communicate with men - over the years the ability to play pool or sink a few pints certainly helped me fit into a lot of environments I wouldn’t otherwise have done. I’m grateful for the ’90s - we learnt just how many different ways there are to be a woman. We didn’t always get it right, but then who does? Rachel Star letter CHILD-FREE BY CHOICE I love your…

ON ONE HAND, of course we should be focussing on more important things than James Corden kicking off at waiting staff over an allegedly imperfect omelette served him in a restaurant, being banned from that restaurant - Balthazar - by its owner Keith McNally, having that ban rescinded after Corden apologised, then having the whole thing erupt again when a New York Times journalist asked Corden about it, and Corden compared those members of the media who (like me, right now) give life to the story, to school bullies. There are much bigger things going on: Iran and Putin and our sad excuse for a Government… Why waste energy (no cost-of-living crisis reference intended) on one celebrity’s brunch? On the other hand, it’s precisely because of those bigger things we’re…

10 HOT STORIES HAS ANYONE HAD A BIGGER YEAR than Harry Styles? His sell-out world tour has included a history-making 15-night run at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden. His third studio album, Harry’s House, debuted at number 1 in the UK and the US, with single As It Was becoming the fastest song in history to reach one billion streams. His breakout role in Don’t Worry Darling, in which he stars opposite the incomparable Florence Pugh, is a huge box office hit, pulling in an impressive $83 million to date. The body of his work continues to beggar belief. The man is tireless. His tour is set to stretch to 22 months. Whatever he does, it’s all anyone can talk about. As the epic Love on Tour extravaganza rolls…

GRAZIA INTERVIEW WHENEVER MIA REGAN doesn’t have something to wear, she can simply pop upstairs. Her mum has a box of vintage treasures, including Vivienne Westwood, and she tries to ration herself to one piece at a time. ‘I don’t want to get it all out at once,’ she says. ‘I have to stop myself.’ If you aren’t familiar with her photo dumps as one of the ’gram’s coolest digital creators, you might know Mia as the former girlfriend of Romeo Beckham. Interestingly, it’s these two worlds that have collided for her latest endeavour: a collaboration with his mum, Victoria. (They’re definitely on friendly terms: when Mia walked in her first show at London Fashion Week, for JW Anderson, VB commented, ‘Congratulations!!!! Kisses x,’ under her post on Instagram.) Their…

Your social media feed may be awash with engagement, wedding and anniversary photos, but data would suggest many Britons aren't experiencing happily ever after. Not only are divorce applications at the highest level in 10 years - helped, in part, by the no-fault legislation passed in April of last year - but there is evidence from the last economic downturn that recessions and higher divorce rates are toxic bedfellows. So while many wish for a Christmas miracle of economic stability, here are a few ways to keep the flame in your relationship alight through the season's darkest days. 1. Avoid screens and any doom-scrolling after an agreed-upon time in the evening. As tempting as it can be to check what has unfolded at Number 10, bright blue screens are a…

FROM THE BLEAK news cycle to the clocks going back, you’re not the only one feeling a sense of doom right now. As our report on page 42 shows, 50% of employees say they’re suffering from burnout, a state of physical and emotional exhaustion - and women are being hit hardest. So if you need help making positive life changes, we asked the experts for their manageable tips for boosting your mood this winter. But if you also just want to hunker down, there’s plenty in this week’s issue that’ll help you do that, too. From how to transform your bedroom into a sleep-conducive space (page 80) to the inside story on the TV show you’ll be glued to all month (page 34), I hope you find something that makes…

1. New in ELIZABETH DEBICKI We know the new season of The Crown is cloaked in issues of sensitivity, but it is insane (in the good way), and ED’s Diana is off the charts wondrous. 2. Up ROD STEWART Turns out he's rented and furnished a home for seven Ukrainian refugees, because he's just one of the very good ones, isn't he? 3. Up MOBEEN AZHAR One of our fave documentarians (documentarian lust is real, see Louis Theroux for details), has a new, grisly investigation out: Santa Claus The Serial Killer (on BBC Three). 4. Non-mover VICKY McCLURE Her work with the dementia choir is the stuff of goosebumps and wonder. She'll be a national treasure before she's 40, that one. 5. non-mover RIHANNA She is returned! You know -…

FASHION-WISE, it could easily have looked so different for Harry Styles. Or make that: not different at all to any of the other floppy-haired heartthrob pop princes out there. In an alternative universe, the description he gave of his hometown, Holmes Chapel in Cheshire, ahead of his first ever X Factor audition – ‘It’s quite boring, there’s nothing much happens there. It’s quite picturesque’ – could easily have applied to his look. But that wasn’t to be. Working with stylist Harry Lambert, the two have cultivated a close relationship with Gucci, and Styles has crafted a look that is as entertaining as he is. Colourful, flamboyant and retro-tinged, his wardrobe has more than a swish of ’70s swagger and baroque grandeur to it. It’s also camp: see the pink fluffy…

ECONOMY The Autumn Statement on 17 November will make clearer how Sunak plans to navigate the cost of living crisis in a slowing economy – he has said that ‘difficult decisions to come’ will be tackled with ‘compassion’. Thought to be instinctively a tax-cutting type, his vow not to leave a ‘burden of debt’ on future generations has set the stage for a new era of austerity. HEALTH One of Sunak’s key pledges in his leadership campaign was to introduce £10 fines for anyone missing GP appointments. He has abstained on key votes about reproductive healthcare, including the recent amendment to introduce buffer zones around abortion clinics. WOMEN'S SAFETY ‘As a father of two girls, I want them to be able to go for a walk in the evening or…

10 HOT STORIES CALL ME BORING, call me a prude, but I simply can’t be doing with this season’s miniskirt fandom – I don’t want to flash anyone, plus it’s just a bit chilly. I know I’m not the only one. This autumn, my prayers have been answered. Sure, there are still plenty of tiny fabric strips masquerading as skirts, but there is something else nipping at its heels: the long, swishy, maxiskirt. Did we mention it is street-scraping? Hooray. Worn low on the hips, anything past the calf counts – it’s officially time to bid adieu to the midi length. The other key detail: take yours in denim for a 2022 alternative to jeans. True-blue is always a winner, but patchwork or tie-dye washes also count. At Boss, the…

DO OUR EYES deceive us? So similar does Elizabeth Debicki look to Princess Diana in season five of The Crown that it’s like looking at a hologram. Move over, Abba Voyage: there’s a new avatar in town. Only this one is born out of meticulous research on the part of the show’s costume department, coupled with an actor who bears an uncanny resemblance to the princess. And what a visual feast they’ve unleashed. Where season four focused on the young Lady Diana’s naive but burgeoning fashion sense (Peter Pan collars, dungarees, floral-sprigged cardigans), season five documents her evolution into a Versace-loving style icon. All of her most memorable looks are here, including her red jacket with brass buttons and black lapels, her pale blue sequinned halterneck and – of course…

GRAZIA FEATURE 50% of employees say they’re suffering from burnout - a state of physical and emotional exhaustion IT SEEMS THAT just as the pre-Covid world as we knew it started opening up again, another kind of lockdown was brewing. The cost of living crisis has been described as ‘lockdown by stealth’, with rising costs and mortgage hikes keeping many of us at home, and in jobs or homes we’re not particularly keen on. New research from Microsoft, which surveyed 11,000 people between July and August 2022, found nearly half of employees and more than half of managers say they’re suffering from burnout. The term, which was officially recognised by the World Health Organisation in 2019, is used to describe a state of physical and emotional exhaustion (see page 44…

‘AS WE GO into the cost of living crisis, it’s really important to remember that financial stress and insecurity puts as much of a strain on our emotional wellbeing as it does on our material finances,’ says Clare Seal, financial coach, author and founder of @myfrugalyear. ‘Safety and security are at the core of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs a theory from US psychologist Abraham Maslow, which many believe holds the secret to human happiness and fulfilment. ‘Studies show that the foundation of feeling happy and well is financial security, which is hard when we’re being bombarded with news of rising mortgages and rents, political uncertainty, energy bill fears and the rising cost of everyday items,’ says Clare. ‘However, not every bit of bad news applies to you. Yes, it’s important…

You know who we mean: it's Kate Winslet's winter layering of 1,000 scarves in The Holiday; it's Bridget Jones turning up to work in a bobbly jumper and actual messy bun - not the millennial 'messy bun' that takes two hours to perfect in the morning. Letting go of perfectly blow-dried hair and ‘clean girl no make-up make-up’, the Frazzled Englishwoman goes the simpler route of just skipping make-up. No one will notice under all that knitwear anyway. So, if winter sees you sporting flushed red cheeks and partially chapped lips, or swapping a new-season handbag for a thermos filled with hot chocolate, rest assured you're at least perfectly of the moment. Because Gen-Z are all for it, reviving the '00's rom-com look as the latest fashion trend du jour…

GRAZIA FASHION FEATURE GRAZIA INTERVIEW Camille Charrière hadn’t set out to be controversial. She didn’t even realise that’s what she was doing. ‘It sounds absurd,’ she laughs. ‘But I just didn’t register!’ She is talking about the upcycled Harris Reed couture dress she wore to her wedding in Paris last December and how she hadn’t clocked the fact it was – more or less – see-through, until trying it on the day before in her hotel suite. Gulp. When the wedding pictures came out there was (predictably, boringly) blowback from internet whingers, scandalised by this dress. But – whatever! – she was happy with her choice, not least because if a decade in the fashion industry has taught her one thing, it’s this: never to wear, or not wear things because…

HEALTH + BEAUTY GRAZIA Even over Zoom, speaking to Maye Musk is like having a glass of water thrown on you. The 74-year-old model and dietician - who is also mother to SpaceX and Tesla’s billionaire founder, Elon Musk - is so spirited that it’s impossible not to be energised by her. ‘We just had the most beautiful shoot!’ she says, wide-eyed with a massive smile enveloping her face. ‘The clothes were beautiful, the jewellery was wonderful - oh, and the food was delicious!’ She describes the atmosphere on set with an unrelenting Julie Andrews in The Sound Of Music kind of joy. It’s all the more inspiring when you consider that Musk must have thousands of shoots under her belt. She started modelling when she was just 15, and…

SOME PRODUCTS ARE cemented into the beauty landscape. Like that bottle of blood-red Benetint that’s been around since the ’70s, created as a nipple stain, would you believe. Eight Hour Cream, meanwhile, was launched a staggering 92 years ago. And while, yes, we subscribe to the proverb ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’, it’s always wise to have alternative but similar products on your radar in case of a dreaded discontinuation, or simply to mix things up a bit. Here, we present the best new versions of old classics… IF YOU LOVE MAC Velvet Teddy TRY Glossier's Generation G in Fuzz, £14 Velvet Teddy is arguably the most iconic warm-toned brown lipstick ever created, but if you're looking for an extra marital make-up bag affair, Glossier's latest shade extension…

IT'S TIME TO… DECORATE THE COLOUR you paint your bedroom depends on how you treat the day, says Joa Studholme, colour curator at Farrow & Ball which has just introduced 11 new colours to its range including Wine Dark, this wonderfully rich shade of blue. ‘If you’re a morning person who likes to jump out of bed and attack the day, then look at a clean, light, uplifting colour on the walls such as Taylor Tack,’ says Joa. ‘Evening people will embrace dark shades such as Wine Dark; take it over the ceiling for the ultimate in cocoon-like rooms.’ For a soothing feel, opt for calm tones such as a warm, pale pink or a pale blue. ‘Bedrooms feel much more restful if all the trim and the walls are painted…

A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney How do you go on when the very worst happens? That’s the question Catastrophe star and comedian Delaney grapples with in this raw account of losing his two-and-a-half-year-old son Henry to brain cancer in 2018. There are moments of dark humour amid the heartbreak, but expect to start crying on page 17. TALKING POINT I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy What’s it like to be a child financially supporting your family? This unflinching account of McCurdy’s journey to Hollywood ‘success’ as a child star on Nickelodeon shows iCarly and Sam & Cat – and realisation that she was being abused by her mother – is by turns funny and deeply shocking. It lives up to the hype. Dear Dolly: On Love,…

01 NOVEMBER 2022 Excuse me, Ms Adkins? Just when we thought we couldn’t love Adele any more, the 34-year-old singer has revealed plans to earn an English Literature degree when her Las Vegas residency ends. For those who witnessed the moment she was reunited with her old English teacher, Ms McDonald, during her comeback concert An Audience with Adele last year, the revelation is particularly heart-warming. ‘I definitely think I use my passion for English lit in what I do,’ Adele told fans of her new endeavour. ‘If I hadn’t made it singing, I think I would be an English Lit teacher.’ Perhaps we’ll see Adele in her own classroom one day - that’s one we would certainly go back to school for!…

BREAKFAST TEA. Bisto. Biscuits. Not an (unusual) ingredients list on the latest episode of Bake Off, but variations of this season’s sharpest shade. Brown is officially taking over the town. Just ask Hailey Bieber, who recently wore a slinky polo-neck dress the colour of a shiny conker from Saint Laurent. At New York Fashion Week, Anne Hathaway tickled the internet with her 70% cocoa coat, which looked like she’d raided the costume department of The Devil Wears Prada. Jasmine Tookes colour-matched her dulce de leche dress to her bag last month, while Sophie Turner, whose hair is currently the perfect shade of rust, has been spotted wearing a copper leather jacket to colourcoordinate with her lid. Speaking of lids, brown is emerging as the new blonde, with several ashy-haired influencers…

‘I DIDN’T STARVE myself, but I was so strict…’ These were the alarming words Kim Kardashian used to describe her 16lb weight loss over just three weeks in the run-up to the Met Ball in May. Kim had set herself the task of fitting into a gold dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe, in order to meet the ‘Gilded Glamour’ brief for the event. Although Kim said that she had ‘worn a sauna suit twice a day, ran on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just ate the cleanest veggies and protein’, rumours began to swirl on TikTok that there was something else behind Kim’s weight loss. While Kim hasn’t mentioned anything about using it, it has been suggested on multiple platforms online that she…

JUST DAYS BEFORE the release of her new album Midnights, Taylor Swift gave London a sneaky hit of the good stuff. On the stroke of midnight, a digital billboard in Shepherd’s Bush debuted the lyrics, ‘I polish up real nice’ (from Bejewelled, as eagle-eared Swifties will note). Another Midnights snippet had popped up on New York’s Times Square exactly 24 hours earlier, reading ‘I should not be left to my own devices’. Midnights and its metropolitan marketing – with São Paulo, Nashville and Mexico City also taking part – tells us two things about Taylor Swift. First, she is still the internet age’s icon, a tantalising, timezone-straddling, hint-dropping pop phenomenon stitching the lives of millions of superfans across the planet together. Most can measure out their lives in Taylor Swift…

PERHAPS IT STARTED with that TikTok trend, where young women ‘pranked’ their uncles and grandpas by pretending they paid for their date (cue much dramatic: ‘Why didn’t you call me? I’d have sorted him out.’) But now, social media is seeing a wave of women questioning men who ask to split the bill – and even refusing to go out with them. They believe it’s only fair – after all, it’s never been an equal playing field between men and women financially. Even if you put aside the gender pay gap (currently 8.3%), the reality is that it’s the woman who may get pregnant and take the potential hit to her finances and career (dubbed the ‘motherhood penalty’) should the relationship blossom. If a man isn’t willing to take care…

When Rachel Reeves was eight years old, a teacher who had spotted her talent for chess entered her for a school tournament. ‘I’d been drawn against a boy, and I went and sat down and his friend came over and said, “Oh lucky you – you’re playing a girl, you’ll win easily,”’ the Shadow Chancellor remembers. ‘But that was what chess was like – “Oh, a girl, that won’t be a problem.”’ To her satisfaction, Reeves, who went on to be national girls’ under-14s champion a few years later, beat him. She’s played to win ever since. Two days after Grazia met Reeves in her House of Commons office, a few doors down from Keir Starmer’s, her Tory opposite number Kwasi Kwarteng would be dramatically sacked and replaced by Jeremy…

‘I LOVE THIS SAYING,’ says Anna: ‘“If you nudge a flight path by one degree you can end up on a different continent”.’ With this in mind, here are some small things we can factor into our daily routines to feel happier and become more resistant to stress… 30 MINUTES OF HUMAN CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY NON-WORK-BASED ‘Whether it’s a lunchtime walk with a friend, or a phone call rather than a WhatsApp, humans are social creatures and, even on the days we’re working from home, we need to be around or hear from others,’ says Anna. FIVE MINUTES OF GREEN TIME So much research shows we need to be in nature every day, which is where working from home is handy if you live near a park or woods. Even…

I SAVE ON… Cleanser: all I ask of my cleanser is that it whips away dirt and impurities without irritating my…

GRAZIA FASHION PARTY SEASON POWER PLAYERS A GOOD earring is like good conversation: often sparkling, rarely forgotten. And with the shift towards long sleeves and high necklines, they’re primed to make a starring appearance this party season. Thomas Sabo’s twinkly star studs, hung with crystal-dotted chains, would be easy to wear with a constellation of huggies. Cartier’s doorknocker earrings, bedazzled as they are with diamonds, will instantly zhush up a black polo neck. And then there’s the twisted pearl and snake chain shoulder-grazers from Mango, guaranteed to make their wearer the centre of attention. Head-turning stuff.…

Each issue, people we admire reveal their ‘lasts’, from box sets to beauty mistakes. Here, model and actor Liberty Ross, 44, shares hers… The last book I read… Finding Me: A Memoir by Viola Davis.
