IS TV THE NEW social currency? The pressure to keep up with what's hot when there are new shows hitting streaming services constantly can feel… well, a lot. Which is why it's nice to have a shorthand. To know, for example, that when Grazia cover star Keeley Hawes stars in something, it's worth a watch. That's the argument writer Laura Craik makes (page 36) when she meets the actor who has dominated primetime shows for years. Hawes talks about her role in new Channel 4 show Falling, playing a nun who falls in love with Paapa Essiedu's priest – and why she's also working behind the scenes to make sure women's voices are being represented on screen. Meanwhile, April also sees the much-anticipated third series of Euphoria – the explosive…

1. Up NOAH WYLE The Pitt is the finest hospital drama we've seen since ER (in which Wyle also starred). Gritty, compelling, funny and so forth. 2. Up MEL B ‘I was just flashing my bum because I'm 50, so why not?’ she said in a recent interview, which is as good a reason as any. 3. Down THE YOUNGER BECKHAM KIDS Surprised to learn they wouldn't get any (more) privileges from their dad's knighthood. ‘Absolutely not,’ Becks replied, on them enquiring. 4. Up TAYLOR & TRAVIS At the iHeartRadio Awards looking quite as happy with one another as The Life Of A Showgirl suggests is the case. 5. Non-mover REBECCA FERGUSON Mercy is an incredibly smart thriller about a future world in which justice is meted out by AI.…

DO YOU SPEAK JAANT? Aka jeans and a nice top? Any Millennial worth their salt has dabbled in this unrivalled outfit formula at least once (realistically, dozens of times), and Gen Z have discovered it for themselves, too. Effortless. Reliable. Immune to trend fatigue. It always works and, crucially, it removes the existential spiral of not knowing what to wear. Which is why giving JAANJ a try feels less like a gamble and more like a natural evolution. JAANJ, you ask? That's jeans and a nice jacket, what the fashion set leans on to look pulled together without appearing to have tried hard. It hinges on two things: A) good denim, and B) a jacket that does the heavy lifting. The mechanics are simple. Chances are you already own the…

THERE WAS A flurry of flashing lights and screams from paparazzi and fans alike when Cameron Diaz stepped on to the red carpet for her new film, Outcome, in which she stars opposite Keanu Reeves for her first comedic role in more than 10 years. That's right, Diaz fever, as we're coining it, is back like it never left. Outcome sees Diaz reunite with Reeves (their first romcom together was the critically unacclaimed Feeling Minnesota in 1996) playing best friends in a dark comedy about an actor who is being blackmailed. It's only Diaz's second project since her return to film last year with Netflix's Back In Action after a break of more than a decade to focus on family. Married to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, Diaz has two children…

IF THERE'S ONE thing people love more than watching TV, it's talking about what they've watched on TV. We trade recommendations like gold bars, because a good TV show feels just as precious. In the pantheon of recommendations, ‘it's got Keeley Hawes in it’ is unimpeachable. Like a kitemark in human form, if Hawes is in it, you know it's going to be good. Now 50 (‘It's a good decade – I feel great!’ she tells me), her CV reads like a list of the nation's favourite shows: Spooks, Line Of Duty, Ashes To Ashes, Bodyguard, The Durrells, It's A Sin… In a career spanning three decades, she's played assassins, detectives, MPs, matriarchs and queens, but her latest role is a first for her: a nun. Starring opposite Paapa Essiedu…

Build up your confidence One of the best ways to future-proof yourself against any overthinking, according to Dr Hibberd, is to build up your confidence. How? By relying on internal rather than external validation and thinking about your strengths. Channel your overthinking Find a project or something positive to think about to create a good space for your mind to go to. Keep your world bigger Finding meaning and purpose is one of the strongest predictors of happiness, so know why you're doing things and have a clear picture of what makes your life meaningful. Find natural highs It's not the big things like job titles or nice cars that matter, it's the day-to-day stuff that really counts, such as time spent with loved ones, being outdoors, enjoying your work,…

Boundaries don't just happen. You have to build them. Physical space helps (hello, annexe), but so do small rules: closed doors, quiet hours and the right to not be available 24/7. Humour is not optional. It's survival. If you can't laugh (eventually) about a blow-up over cleaning a garlic press, you're in trouble. Talk about the awkward stuff early. Money, childcare, expectations, even bathroom schedules. I didn't take my own advice on that last point. Accept that it won't be perfect. This isn't a lifestyle trend. It's a living, breathing, slightly chaotic version of family life. Lean into it. Do fun things together as well as the domestic dance. Like any cohabiting relationship, if you only ever talk about bins then it's not a great vibe. I love to watch…

1. DESTINATION DRESSING Heading abroad for sunny nuptials? A tropical palette of sunshine yellow, hot hibiscus pink and palm green is a must. Stick to billowing maxis or linen co-ords paired with beach-ready beads and golden-hour heels. 2. ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY Swapping the city for a grand countryside manor? Embrace the theme with rosy pinks and fabulously fun florals, while textured accessories and supersized corsages will keep your outfit fashion forward. 3. TO THE TOWN HALL Smarten up for galas, gallery openings and town hall wedding ceremonies in chic, sharp monochrome. Accessories are kept classic: think movie-star shades and black veiled hats and, if all else fails, a perfect LBD will always prevail. 4. CITY SOIREES When it comes to cool-girl occasion dressing, we suggest sticking to one of…

START WITH A PROPER PRIMER Make-up artist and Grazia beauty panellist Lan Nguyen-Grealis explains that a long-lasting make-up look begins with a good quality primer. ‘Don't overcomplicate skin prep,’ she says. ‘Too many layers can lead to slip. Cleanse, tone and moisturise then apply a mattifying primer to hold make-up fast.’ TRY: Sisley Paris Phyto-Tint Primer Matte, £82 USE A NEXT-GEN BASE Helpfully, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of ‘matte not flat’ foundations. New launches like Hermès Plein Air Luminous Matte Skincare Foundation and Dior Forever Skin Wear offer a satin-like finish (the look is sophisticated sheen rather than OTT glow) that really lasts. Reformulated cult classics like Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation and Armani Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation deliver the same sought-after coverage…

Whatever Happened To Madeline Stone? by Louise O'Neill As child actors, identical twins Chelsea and Madeline never stopped working, but when Maddie disappeared in their twenties, Chelsea retired. Two decades on, their deepest secrets start being released online. The source? A storage locker that may reveal what happened to Maddie. An astute examination of noughties’ gossip culture wrapped up in a mystery. THE SATIRE Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke You've heard the hype: Natalie, the perfect trad wife mumfluencer (who hides her legion of staff from her followers, along with her marital and parental resentments), wakes up one day in the era she's hewn her brand to. A brilliant satire about the cynical pursuit of online success and conservative politics. Anne Hathaway is set to star in the film adaptation.…

The last book I read… My own book Start With Yourself. It's been all-consuming. I think of it as a wake-up call for ambitious women everywhere. I want it to be a useful tool for women to actually use and get something from. The last song I listened to… Die On This Hill by Sienna Spiro. I'm obsessed. The last box set I binged… I watch Sex And The City every night before bed. The last podcast I loved… Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. The last exhibition I went to… I visited The Studio Museum in Harlem. It's one of the most spectacular museums I've ever been to. The last party I went to… was one I hosted, the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in LA. It's a beautiful event…

Northern Ireland has become the first part of the UK to introduce statutory miscarriage leave. Women and their partners are now entitled to two weeks of paid leave if they experience a miscarriage at any stage of pregnancy. It can be taken as one continuous period or as two separate weeks within 56 weeks of the miscarriage and parents do not have to provide medical evidence – they only have to tell their employer what has happened. The landmark legislation offers welcome breathing space for parents grieving the loss of a pregnancy and will hopefully set a precedent the rest of the UK can follow. As NI Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald, who confirmed the leave, said, ‘Parents who suffer the loss of a child should be treated with care and…

FINALLY, OUR SAINTLY patience has been rewarded. Euphoria, the glossy, gritty HBO drama – about a group of American teenagers and their capacity for relentless poor judgement – is back on our screens after a three-year wait. Why the lengthy delay for season three? Partly, the show is a victim of its own success – since its 2019 debut, its top-line cast have moved on to bigger, brighter and busier things. But it's also the result of a run of misfortune, misadventure and tragedy. It's not hard to see why Euphoria has been an A-list launchpad, a buzzy, hip and provocative show built on an ensemble of hot, young talent who appeal to the coveted 18-25 demographic. Still, Euphoria's conversion rate is pretty astonishing. While it can't claim credit for…

MAKING A MOVIE today? You better make sure the costume department is mission control. Not just central to the plot but planned with ultra-micro precision for the entire press tour, a whole month before the film opens. This is not a ‘might be quite a nice moment’, this is the absolute state of play in 2026. The Devil Wears Prada 2 hasn't even delivered yet – 1 May is its due date – and already the tourdrobe is doing the heavy narrative lifting for the film. Chief architect, sorry ‘curator’, is Micaela Erlanger, long-term collaborator and stylist for Meryl Streep – as of now, the GOAT of method dressing. You might have caught The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where Streep appeared in a custom J Crew cable knit jumper.…

THANDI MAQUBELA has always enjoyed dressing up for her job as a legal director in London. Recently, she looked out over her office floor and realised that colleagues who not long ago might have come to work in jeans and trainers have smartened up. ‘People were more relaxed with their workwear for a year or two after Covid. Now I'm definitely seeing a trend toward dressing more formally in the office: fewer jeans, more tailoring, smart jumpers with shirts underneath,’ says Maqubela, today wearing an olive-green jumper with cream satin trousers and brown croc-embossed pointy pumps. ‘Obviously, I love it.’ Welcome to your corporate-chic era. Maybe you're among the many women working in an office who have noticed a similar shift. It's not that everyone has suddenly stopped wearing trainers…

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER pointless Hollywood remake, it seems. Last week, HBO unveiled a trailer for its take on the Harry Potter franchise, only to be met with online responses that were – at best – mixed. Personally, I'd genuinely been keeping an open mind about the whole endeavour, up until now. As a woman of a certain age (Millennial), I grew up impatiently awaiting the release of each new Harry Potter book and the original movies are still my go-to comfort watch. If anyone were to be the target audience for Potter-related content, it's me. But watching the trailer for a TV series that appears to be more or less a carbon copy of the original films – right down to Hogwarts’ Oxford college–inspired architecture and the (now rather anachronistic)…

I HAD a year to prep for my wedding and I couldn't wait to dive in. I wasn't someone who fretted about table plans or pulled their hair out over dress fittings – I revelled in it all. It was like being given the keys to a frothy, flower-festooned private members’ club, one that I'd get unceremoniously booted out of as soon as the big day was over; I was determined to make the most of it. I'd already studied the ideal skincare countdown: establish your routine and product line-up a minimum of six months before your big day and stick to it, book in facials once a month and schedule your final (very gentle) one two weeks out and never, I repeat never, dabble with a new skincare product…

GUESS WHAT. I APPEAR to have got caught up in a hot new trend! Only, it's not the kind of HNT in which anyone would hope to be caught. This trend is called butsukari otoko – Japanese, cos it started in Japan, has since spread globally. It means ‘bumping or barging man’ and it involves… Well, let me tell you what happened to me. I was strolling through Waterloo overground station, en route to a Thing, when I got barged. A dude, considerably bigger than me, ploughed into my right shoulder so suddenly, and so hard, it spun me around and projectiled my phone from my hand, on to the concourse (where it miraculously didn't break). I yelped, turned toward wherever I sensed his trajectory would have taken him and…

EVERY NOW AND then a trend appears as if by magic. As if all the fashion girlies got together and decided, ‘Yep, that's what we're going to wear this year.’ It happened with butter yellow last summer, with sneakerinas and burgundy bomber jackets. For spring 2026 it's the turn of polka dots. Spotted on the runway at Dries van Noten and Schiaparelli's S/S ‘26 collections, the print has also cemented itself into the 2026 zeitgeist, thanks to Lily Allen's recent tour, where fans reached for the polka dots in homage to her dotty puffer on the album artwork for West End Girl. Artwork that now hangs proudly in the National Portrait Gallery. It's not just high-fashion houses seeing spots. Next has bookmarked the print as one of this season's hero…

THE NEW SEASON is officially here… ish. Spring equinox has landed. The weather has yet to cooperate, but it's time to get au fait with how to transition your wardrobe back into a sunnier disposition. The big switch never comes easily and there will always be an adjustment period, but these pointers will help you start introducing those tweaks so, when the moment arrives and it's actually warm, you're ready to roll. How exactly do you face baring your yet-to-tan legs? Is a slip dress still the thing you should be wearing? What does you shirt say about you (and should you invest in a steamer)? And when it comes to footwear, are ballet flats the answer for another season? Here's your quick and easy lowdown. 1. REINSTATE YOUR PASHMINA…
