Inhaltsverzeichnis für Issue 564 in Grazia

Photo: Arved Colvin-Smith Gwyneth Paltrow is a woman who’s made an art form out of putting on a brave face – there aren’t many women who could spin their divorce into such a positive experience. Which is why it was so shocking to see the Hollywood actress break down in an LA courtroom as she faced the man who’s been her stalker and tormentor for 17 years. Turn to page 12 to read her secret trauma. This week, we can also reveal another victory for Grazia’s law-changing Mind The Pay Gap campaign (see page 30). The Government has announced that it will be launching league tables – shaming the worst (as well as naming the best!) employers for women in the UK. What better motivation for companies to shape up?…

WE’RE NOT USEDTO SEEING Gwyneth Paltrow crack. Here is a woman who chalked up her divorce to an opportunity for spiritual growth, and famously answered her critics with a brusque, ‘I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be someone who makes $25,000 a year.’ By all accounts, she’s not a person prone to self-doubt. Last week, however, we saw a very different side to the outspoken actor. Taking to the stand in a Los Angeles courtroom to testify against a man accused of stalking her for 17 years, Gwyneth, 43, sobbed as she revealed the extent of her fears for her safety. Asked whether she had been scared for her family, Gwyneth tearfully responded, ‘Yes,’ adding that she had been terrified enough to ask a bodyguard to train…

Ph Photoss:: F Fame e Fl Flynet, , Sp Splash h Ne News,, Xp Xposure e Ph Photos Here’s evidence of the rise and rise of the VB marketing machine. Well, if you’ve got the world’s press watching your every move, you might as well wear your own label eyeball-to-toe. This means a) you power-up your outfits and don’t put a stiletto-foot wrong; b) every look needs to say something – colour/print/silhouette; and c) it all has to look as effortless as possible because, hey, you’re selling a luxury lifestyle… 1.

Photos: Splash News, Xposure Photos LAST WEEK, LILY ALLEN dropped the biggest hint yet that she and Sam Cooper are set to split. During a radio call-in Lily suggested that ‘an introduction to divorce’ should be taught in schools, adding, ‘Everyone gets themselves into all sorts of difficulties and ends up having to spend extortionate amounts on lawyers.’ According to friends, Lily is talking from personal experience and has applied for a decree of judicial separation from her husband of four years. ‘Things have been bad for so long that there was nothing left to do but accept that the marriage is finished,’ said one. ‘More than anything, they needed a formal way to sort out the practicalities.’ A legal separation means that all marital obligations officially end. Lily, 30,…

Photos: Catwalking.com THAT’S RIGHT – ‘SEXY CARDI’ – not a phrase you’ve heard outside the walls of Hugh Grant’s travel bookshop in Notting Hill, but guess what? The big sloppy cardi is having a moment – chunky, slouchy, and, well, slightly sack-shaped – it’s the most desirable knit of now. See Christopher Kane’s with its mad scribbles of loose thread, all badly buttoned up. So how is this actually sexy, you may well ask? It’s what you see peeking out as it slides off your shoulder – a satin slip, silk spaghetti strap, hint of lace. It’s fragile meets rugged. It’s unpredictable! Modern! And if the Kane version is too much of a stretch, try these, from Marni to Mango...…

JUNIOR DOCTORS AGAIN WALKED OUT –  TO NO AVAIL… As Graziawent to press, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt revealed that despite a second 24-hour strike by junior doctors, the Government would go ahead and impose a new contract on working hours. The British Medical Association insists that junior doctors ‘cannot and will not’ accept the new contract. THE  WORLD’S FAVOURITE AIRLINE FLEW INTO THE 21ST CENTURY Remarkable news to be reporting in 2016, but finally British Airways’ female crew has won the right to wear trousers. Aside from the whole, er, huge sexism aspect, the crew’s union, Unite, highlighted the fact that trousers would protect cabin crew against the risk of malaria or even the Zika virus.

GOOD TO GLOSS The news that gloss is back was a surprise hit at the summer shows. ‘There’s something very sexy and suggestive about wet lips paired with fresh, natural skin,’ says Isamaya Ffrench, UK make-up ambassador for YSL Beauté. So if you’re over lipstick upkeep, gloss – and its eyes-closed-in-the-back-of-a-cab ease of application – is your NBF. Gloss 2.0 is all about high-shine formulas that feel silky, but won’t glue your hair to your lips every time you step outside. Opt for a slick of bold vinyl lacquer, à la Givenchy’s runway, or tap on a pearlescent nude, as seen at DVF. WEAR TO...

FRIEND TROUBLE There's a weird message in the first episode of the new Girls - if your make-up's good, everything will turn out swell. It's so at odds with the show's original ethos it's barely recognisable. A story about the universal ascension to womanhood has turned into a treatise on toxic friendships. But don't lose faith - Lena's observational skill is still intact. From Monday, Sky Atlantic  CULTURE SHOCK Is the dawn of broadsheet TV upon us?

Photos: Mondadori AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb Try not to blame yourself for having been extremely outspoken, perhaps over-assertive, with certain individuals. They almost certainly deserved to be told that they’ve crossed a line in some way. But you won’t want to cause a permanent rift. So capitalise on Venus moving into your sign and bringing out the part of you that knows how to pour oil on troubled waters with sincerity. Above all, be yourself. PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar Even if you’re not keen to put yourself on show, let others congratulate you and ask you questions about something you’ve achieved. If you keep everyone at bay, you’ll cause upset. In fact, one person in particular will refuse to allow you to hide away or remain…

BODY TALK There will always be a debate on body size, shade, gender and fashionability. As long as we all recognise that the images that appear in adverts and the media are chosen with the intention to sell us things, we can also see it’s not a validation of ourselves but a sign of the times. Our bodies should be well-nourished, moved, hugged, dressed to express our own style and appreciated for being incredible feats of engineering. Whatever fashion dictates, we need to find our validation inside, not in the media. That said, I’m all for diversity, whether it’s Barbie, the Chanel runway or Grazia. Cat Katie Glass’s ‘The new body battleground’ (15 February) was a very interesting and balanced article. We really do need to focus on promoting what…

TAYLOR SWIFT In March 2014,Taylor was granted a restraining order against Timothy Sweet, who allegedly believed they were married. He was ordered to stay 100ft from her after sending her hundreds of letters, emails and tweets and threatening to kill US Secretary of State John Kerry. CATHERINE ZETA-JONES In 2005, Dawnette Knight, who had claimed to have had an affair with Michael Douglas and who had stalked Catherine Zeta-Jones, was sentenced to three years in prison. Knight sent Catherine letters saying that if she did not leave her husband she would cut her into pieces and feed her to the dogs. SANDRA BULLOCK In April 2015, audio was released of a terrified Sandra Bullock calling for police help after she came face to face with her stalker, Joshua James Corbett,…

Photos: Getty Images, Shutterstock LAST YEAR, I found myself in a consultation room at the London Women’s Clinic, knickers off, legs akimbo, while a doctor internally scanned my ovaries. At 29, I was perfectly healthy, with no medical or fertility problems and no immediate plans to start a family. So what was I doing there? I wanted to freeze my eggs, so I could delay having a baby until my forties. I, like many other young women, had watched in wonder at the unfolding of the apparent fertility revolution – vaunted as being as game-changing as the Pill. Indeed, statistics released by the London School of Economics last week revealed that 60% of women aged 18-24 believe women should be encouraged to use egg freezing for social, ie, lifestyle, reasons.…

BY NEW YORK TIMES WRITER IVIE ANI SLAYED.THAT’S THE ONLY word to describe the internet last week, when Beyoncé – after a very quiet year – dropped a new single for the world to feast on during her Super Bowl performance. Formation was as catchy as Single Ladies and its political message was even louder than the feminist anthem Flawless. Sparking memes, merch (‘I got hot sauce in my bag’ tote, anyone?) and every kind of think piece, it even provoked protests from the wives of policemen, furious about the anti-police imagery in the video. Super Bowl fans, meanwhile, were offended by the ‘race-baiting’ connotations of her half-time upstaging of Coldplay. But no one could argue with the fact that Queen Bey had found a unique way to honour Black…

Photos: Alice Rosati/folio-id.com, Xposure Photos, Jason Lloyd-Evans Last week, science established that positive thinking might not be such a fabbo idea after all. Four studies from New York University’s psychology department showed that, while fantasising about a spectacular future could temporarily boost one’s mood, distract from the drab mediocrity of Right Now and so on, it will lead to depressive thoughts on a long-term basis. Makes sense, dunnit? There’s only so long you can spend dreaming about being insanely rich, famous and fancied before you start feeling like a failure because another day has dawned, you’ve just checked, and guess what? You’re still definitely not Beyoncé (and that’s assuming even Beyoncé feels like Beyoncé all the time , which, I’m convinced she doesn’t). It’s like I’ve always said: if you…

Sisley: sisley-paris.co.uk If your skincare routine stops at your chin, you’re doing your future self no favours. As any dermatologist will attest, your neck and décolletage are particularly vulnerable to ageing because the skin is super-thin, has far fewer oil glands than the face and is almost constantly exposed to the environment. To avoid turkey neck, the strategy is simple: use SPF religiously, train yourself to sleep on your back (side-sleeping causes cleavage creases) and slather on one of these ‘neck and déc’ creams daily. Start now, thank us later.…

‘I did my research and knew all the statistics before I went ahead with the procedure. I decided to freeze my eggs as I didn't want to feel rushed into finding Mr Right. ‘I want to have a family but I don't want to be a single mother. I want to be able to make sure any new man is a perfect match, without the pressure of ageing eggs hanging over me. ‘The clinic was great and explained everything. I knew this was not a failsafe route to one day having a baby, but the idea of it gave me a sense of security. I'm currently single but, when I decide the time is right, I will still try to conceive naturally first and even consider IVF before unfreezing my…

Photos: Getty Images, Planet Photos, WENN FAMOUSLY, EACH YEAR Oscar contenders are gifted outlandishly lavish goodie bags. In the past, they’ve included presents such as mink eyelashes and weekend trips to Tuscany, but this year’s offering – apparently worth £160,000 – is breaking controversial new ground. At the ceremony, nominees including Kate Winslet and Jennifer Lawrence will be treated to a voucher for a Vampire Breast Lift, because nothing says ‘Well done on your nomination’ like ‘Why not spread some of your own blood on your boobs?’ The 15-minute, £1,300 treatment is a cousin of the A-list’s beloved Vampire Facelift, popularised by Kim Kardashian. The process sees blood taken from a patient, and treated, before being injected back into their face to stimulate collagen and anti-age the skin. And now…

WHEELIE SUITCASES IN BUSY stations, estate agents (their general existence), drivers speeding in residential areas, people who don’t give up their seats for oldies, unidentified items in the bagging area... It’s safe to say there has always been plenty in life to make me unnecessarily angry. Since my beloved boyfriend and I moved in together just over a year ago, however, I’ve had a shorter fuse than ever. The smallest thing can send me into a pique of fury – him leaving his dirty clothes on top of the laundry basket (why?), flooding the shower room on a daily basis (how?), dirty cups on top of the dishwasher instead of inside it, to name but a few. While I desperately want to be a ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ person,…

LIV FOSTER Grazia’s freelance news writer For a book with so much buzz surrounding it, for me Meg Rosoff’s novel falls short of the ‘must-read’ mark. It’s mildly entertaining but the main character, Jonathan, isn’t quite likeable – or interesting – enough for you to really invest in what happens to him as he struggles to cope with life and love. In fact, you’ll be more intrigued by the lives of his two canine companions... MARIA O’CONNOR Grazia’s chief sub editor If you love NYC and think dogs have as much personality as the average human, then Meg Rosoff’s first novel for adults is for you. Jonathan is finding his feet in the Big Apple with an unconventional rental apartment, a very conventional girlfriend, a soul-destroying job in advertising and…

Mickey lives in a hipster walk-up in Echo Park. She works for an LA radio station, where her boss is a phone-in counsellor somewhere between Frasier and John Peel. She’s a stoner, stuck in a relationship with a balding guy who prefers cocaine to her.

WHO LIVES HERE? Wendy Aldridge, founder of vintage online boutique homeplace.co.uk, her husband James and their two children, Ida and Arlie. WHERE IS IT? North London. A double-front period terraced house, it offered plenty of space – once they reconfigured the rooms, swapping the main living spaces around and opening out the back to create a large kitchen and dining room. Then they got painting – with a dark grey. ‘I love a dark background,’ says Wendy. ‘It really allows whatever is put against it to stand out beautifully. I also like it for its cosy, cocooning qualities.’ GET COSY As with much of the house, the den – where the family relax on a huge leather sofa in front of the TV – is painted in Downpipe (farrow-ball.com) and…
