Photo: Arved Colvin-Smith Another week, another twist in the Beyoncé and Jay Z saga. Who is ‘Becky with the good hair’? Rita? Rachel Roy? We can exclusively reveal Beyoncé is getting set to expose her. It’s the A-list version of plastering posters around your local neighbourhood – just this time on a global stage. Read her plan on page 16. Don’t mess with the Bey, that’s all we’re saying! In other news – the long-awaited sun! Now, I’ll wager while it’s cheered you up, you’ve hit summer-dressing paralysis. We have the answer: the shirtdress. It’s been hanging around since school – but today’s reinvented version is the one thing your wardrobe shouldn’t be without. Our pick of the best – from high street to cult new label to designer, is…

Photos: Getty Images, Splash News, All Star SOMETIMES, JUST THE IDEA OF HAVING TO WALK A RED CARPET STRESSES HER OUT THIS WEEK, JENNIFER LAWRENCE is in London embarking on the publicity trail for her latest blockbuster, X Men: Apocalypse. By now it’s a familiar routine for the Oscar-winning actor; in front of the cameras she’ll happily submit to the whirlwind of meet and greets, interviews and photo opportunities that are part and parcel of being one of Hollywood’s hottest properties. But behind the scenes, friends say she feels increasingly conflicted about where her glittering career has led her. According to one, ‘In many ways, Jennifer is living out her wildest dreams, but everything she’s achieved has come with huge sacrifice. After starting her career as an indie darling, she…

Then, last month, Gigi Hadid and the singer posed together in a PDA-laden shoot for US Vogue. Now, the A-list power couple have hit yet another milestone after making their red-carpet debut. Wearing matching metallic ensembles to honour the Met Gala’s Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology theme, the couple put on what’s now becoming a familiar display of affection as they posed side by side on the event’s star-studded red carpet. And, by all accounts, once inside they were just as smitten as they’d looked in front of the cameras.…

Photos: Desmond O'Neill Features, Dave Benett/Getty Images, Camera Press, Rex Features, Vantage News, Wire Image, Xposure Photos HE SPLIT FROM Millie Mackintosh just three months ago, with many speculating that their wildly different backgrounds – he’s a rapper from Hackney, she’s a Chelsea society girl – were to blame. But last week, it was reported that Professor Green has started a relationship with another socialite: Kate Rothschild, heiress to an £18 million family fortune. Grazia spotted the pair together at the launch of Michelin-starred chef Tom Sellers’ third restaurant, Ours, in Knightsbridge last month, where they were pictured with Paris Hilton. The duo are then reported to have spent an evening together a few days later, at a private members’ club. But Pro Green – real name Stephen Manderson –…

Photos: Reuters, Camera Press, INFPhoto.com IT’S ONLY BEEN A YEAR since FKA twigs confirmed her engagement to Robert Pattinson in a bath selfie posted online. But since then, the couple have been beset by rumours of a rift, with friends of the pair speculating that the wedding may never happen. Just last November, they were reportedly overheard swearing and screaming at each other in a taxi after a night out. Then eyebrows were raised again when FKA twigs celebrated Valentine’s Day alone at South London fetish club The Torture Garden. When she was spotted several times without her engagement ring, many feared the worst. However, Grazia has learned that the engagement is very much ‘on’, with close friends receiving ‘save the date’ cards for a December wedding. Other details are…

Photos: Rex Features My mum died a couple of weeks back. Three days after Victoria Wood; two days after Prince. It wasn’t unexpected, but still. It is Big. Grief is extraordinary. It’s bloody complicated. I try to break it into constituent parts for manageability (is it two parts sorrow to one part anger to one part leaden heaviness/not knowing which way is up, to three parts that thing where – for now – you can’t ignore the whispering, deep-dark knowledge that you and everyone you love will die in the end; that thing we all doignore 99% of the rest of the time because, if we didn’t, we wouldn’t function so well?), but I never nail it. I’m never right about its bits or their proportions, and anyway, grief will…

Photos: Isobel Bowdery, Camera Press, Getty, PA The coordinated shootings, which killed 130, occurred at the Bataclan and cafés and restaurants in the city’s 10th and 11th arrondissements. Four months later, on 22 March, three bombings in Brussels injured over 300. IS claimed responsibility for both attacks.Today, defiant residents in Paris are determined not to live in fear. At Le Petite Cambodge restaurant, where 11 died, all staff are back at work – even one who was shot in the leg. Regulars still come and the smashed windows and bullet-scarred walls have been repaired. Last week, one worker, Mark, 58, told Grazia, ‘We’re still afraid but we’re not going to hide.We’re moving on.’…

Move on and keep pursuing other jobs.You also need to move on emotionally; projecting your anger on to future applications can hold you back. Don’t write the work equivalent of a break-up email, saying, ‘I can’t believe you’d treat people this way.’ Just don’t do it. And nevervent about what happened on social media. If you’ve sent a follow-up email and hear nothing, send one more a week later. Neither should include barbed comments (like how you’d ‘hoped to hear back already’), but should include an offer to provide any additional information. If you don’t hear back after a second time, let it go. There’s no need to get the last word. This will help you if you want to apply to the company or cross paths with the interviewer…

My weight has gone up and down for as long as I can remember. I was a chubby 11-year old, a super-skinny 14-year-old, a bloated 20-year-old (working on a pastry section), a healthy 23-year-old, a super-skinny 26-year-old, a very plump 30-year-old and an unfit 33-year old, with an ever-expanding stomach. I wanted to lose weight, so I developed my own way of eating – everyday dishes that are enjoyable to prepare and don’t compromise on flavour. A true diet for a chef!

WHO LIVES HERE? Fashion-turned-garden-designer Dorthe Kvist, her husband Jacob and their two children Otto, 10, and Ella, five. WHERE IS IT? In Copenhagen. A 1920s house, it was completely run-down when the family bought it and it took four years to transform. ‘My neighbour said the house was like Sleeping Beauty’s castle – for me, it was the chance to have an adventure!’ says Dorthe. 1. GO PIN K Used too much, pink can feel sugary sweet, but do it like Dorthe and it creates a room that is pretty in a grown-up way and feels fresh. A shot of deep pink in the painting (picked up at a local art market) sets the tone; it is complemented by the lighter hue of the chairs (found in a flea market…

YOUR S/S ’16 GAME CHANGERS QUIET PLEASE – the class of S/S ’16 is in session. Shirts, stripes and slip-on mules make for an alternative trio when it comes to spring’s saviours. Introduce to them the enduring appeal of denim and suede, an inspired take on the ’60s off-the-shoulder top and – wait a moment, are you listening at the back? – your lesson in shifting seamlessly into spring is well underway. There are also trend-led statement shapes, like the ruffled trouser, and romantic toile de jouy prints that bring new imagination to the classic white shirt. You’ll also find year-in, year-out favourites that are perfect for a 9-5 wardrobe refresh; while the ’90s takes over off-duty style, with column dresses and cropped washed denim. To ensure you get full…

My husband [musicianTom Smith]. I can rant to him, cry to him or be ecstatic. He knows more about me than anyone. What’s your biggest regret? I had my first perm when I was eight. I love my mum to death, but how could she let me do that? What is your biggest extravagance? Having acupuncture once a fortnight. It reboots me. My acupuncturist sticks loads of needles in me, then does sound therapy with tuning forks, then reiki. I love it. When were you last embarrassed? I was about to go…

Photos (posed by models): Camera Press/Figaro Photo/Humbert Laurent ‘IF YOU DON’T LIKE SOMEONE, walk a mile in their shoes. Then you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes!'This faultless piece of wisdom was delivered to me during a family party, when I hung out with my brilliantly bitchy aunties, who had all sorts of mean, hilarious things to say about our relatives, even though they love them very much. My recent commitment to mindfulness had been forcing me to catch my nasty thoughts before they fell out of my mouth. But, eventually, after more such pearls and snipes, I had to admit it was liberating. I felt energised. And so it got me thinking about the long-lost art of bitching - which, if done well, can not only…

So it’s actually happened, Donald Trump – the billionaire realityTV star tycoon with zero political experience – is set to be the Republican presidential nominee. Last week, Trump’s two main rivals,Texan senator Ted Cruz and Ohio governor John Kasich bowed out of the race to theWhite House, paving the way for what is being heralded as one of the most extraordinary tales in political history. Here we bring you Mr Donald JTrump in numbers… 5 The number of times in three days that he changed his mind on whether women should face criminal punishment for having an abortion. 7 The number of high-profile womenTrump has publicly attacked with insults such as ‘dog', ‘slob' and ‘pig'. 10 Months that he has been in politics 2,000 The length of the wall (in…

Photos: Mirrorpix, Redferns, Rex Features THE ONLY GUILT YOU FEEL IS WHEN YOU’RE LIVING AND THE OTHER PERSON ISN’T. BUT STEVE’S A ONE-OFF A FEW YEARS AGO, Corinne Bailey Rae woke suddenly from a dream. She’d been watching a race, but as the starting gun fired, her attention fell on a racer who’d been left behind. ‘Everyone else was in the distance to the point where, even if the person started running, they would never catch up,’ the 37-year-old recalls. ‘I was watching someone who was completely sad and without hope. I thought, “What is the point?”’ As soon as she woke up, the singer grabbed a blank envelope and began scribbling the lyrics to a song. It would eventually become The Skies Will Break – a loud, confident track…

LOEWE NEW YORK FASHION WEEK JUMPSUITS The all-in-one is a stylish staple Jumpsuits have become a bit of a wardrobe must-have. You can dress them up, down, get casual ones, feminine ones, boyish ones. They come in all shapes and sizes. But do you find there’s a bit of a how-to-wear-it conundrum that crops up every time you debate putting one on? The key is to think of your jumpsuit as a top and trousers. So layer up and accessorise. Here’s how to style it out for work, play and everyday. 1. WEEKENDS AWAY 2. DOWN TO BUSINESS 3.

COOL CUISINE FLOSS FANTASTIC! Persian candyfloss – or ‘pashmak’ – is springing up everywhere from Selfridges to high-end restaurants and pop-ups. These feathery strands of pulled sugar, sesame and flour melt in the mouth and provoke ‘oohs and aahs’ when I serve them. Vanilla or saffron pashmak was a treat I ate with my grandma, but it now comes in chocolate, pistachio or rose, too. You’ll find vanilla or saffron at specialist grocery shops (or see foratasteofpersia.co.uk). For exotic flavours, try Pariya (selfridges.com), but it is more expensive. FANCY A MODERN INDIAN?

The shrewd draw for Sky's new roller-coaster US drama acquisition, Billions, will be the slightly despicable nature of its two male leads. Damian Lewis gets his first bruised anti-role since Homeland - after boring (some of) us to tears in Wolf Hall - as a cannily lawless hedge fund manager nicknamed ‘Axe'.The clue to the sexual dynamic embroiled in his razor-wire negotiating of the New York stock exchange is demonstrably in the name. Paul Giamatti has red-hot form after last year's role as NWA's manager in the brilliant Straight Outta Compton and is cast as Axe's nemesis Chuck Rhoades, the NewYork attorney running for Governor and fly in Axe's Wolf Of Wall Street-ish ointment. It's the third spoke of the central trio that pricked attention in this week's pilot, though.…

You have perhaps been a little secretive recently, especially with regard to one or two individuals.

All communications are blessed, even though some tricky facts might be brought to the surface.

WHAT MAKES A MUM I read The true cost of infertility (25 April) with interest. It saddens me that society has placed so much pressure on women to bear the fruit of their own womb that they feel compelled to continue on and on with the expensive and invasive quest that is IVF, no matter what the financial, physical or emotional impact there may be. As a mother by conception and by adoption, I am frustrated that IVF is perceived to be the only alternative route to parenthood while adoption tends to be considered a last resort, for when all other avenues have failed. I love both of my children and they both feel as though they are mine, irrespective of their biology. If motherhood is the aim, surely it…

‘I CAN STILL SEE the vacant face of the dead man lying next to me. It will be etched on my memory forever. For an hour, I stared deep into his blue eyes while I played dead, frozen to the floor of the Bataclan. The concert hall smelt of blood and I could feel it, trickling into my shoes and soaking my white top. The only sound was of the terrorists’ footsteps, moving closer and walking away again, and the shots they fired into the deathly silent room. Half an hour earlier, my boyfriend Amaury had been teasing me for ordering wine at a rock concert. The buzzing energy in the room was contagious – the kind you only get when a show is about to start.

1 Preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat (high if using an electric stove). Brush each aubergine slice with oil and fry for 8 mins until golden on both sides. Remove and drain on kitchen roll. In the same hot pan, dry fry the chillies whole until they pop as the skins burst; remove and finely chop, seeds and all. 2 Combine tahini ingredients and add water until a sauce consistency, then season to taste. Combine the tomato salsa ingredients and season. 3 In a large mixing bowl, mix the lamb, eggs, minced onion, spices, coriander and chopped chillies. Season generously and work the meat until it becomes smooth like a paste. Divide into 8 equal balls and form flat patties. Reheat the frying pan and, once hot,…

EMILY MADDICK Grazia’s executive features director I’m torn with this book. On the one hand I think Sittenfeld is triumphant in her modern take on Austen (no mean feat) in tone and execution, and the story has a great pace and witty, wry, spot-on social observations. On the other hand, I want to yell, ‘Oh just give up on this already!’ – especially with the characters of Mr and Mrs Bennet. But the Bennet girls, especially Liz and Jane, are warm and likeable and intriguing from the start. It also made me want to revisit the original story. HANNAH WILSON Grazia’s designer Hearing the words ‘a modern adaptation of Pride And Prejudice’ worried me, as I love the original, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not one that you can…

VALLEY OF THE LOLS After a rocky start, Silicon Valley has proven to be one of the most fail-safe new US sitcoms. Back for season three, will file-compression start-up Pied Piper make it in the tech jungle?
