I’m sure there are many of us who’ve gone on a night out and forgotten to eat dinner (and no doubt suffered the consequences the next morning with a hangover). But what if this became a regular event – a way of life? On page 46 we bring you a worrying report on the rise of the women following the Wine: 1 diet – living on just one meal a day so they can drink more and stress less about the extra calories. In other news, it’s up there as one of Hollywood’s nastiest divorces – the split between actress Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. Then last week, after months of public fighting, the couple came to a surprise agreement. Find out on page 16 what drove them to resolve…

FOR A DIVORCE THAT immediately became known as the most toxic Hollywood has ever seen, it ended in a spectacular anticlimax. Last week, after three months of claims that Johnny Depp had been violent towards Amber Heard throughout their relationship, the case came to an abrupt end when she accepted a $7 million settlement and agreed to drop her request for a permanent restraining order against the 52-year-old actor. In a statement, the couple said, ‘Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. ‘Neither party has lied nor made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY MADLY IN LOVE ‘Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial…

1. THE DENIM DREAM Last season saw Vetements £880 blue jeans sell out everywhere – before appearing on every front row going. If you missed the boat, you’re in luck – their A/W ’16 It jeans come in black, and with a (marginally) lower bill – and they’re sellin like absolute hotcakes at Browns. £790, brownsfashion.com 2. THE WEAR-EVERYWHERE BAG Your new go-to bag for the office/pub/garden centre/laundromat comes courtesy of Turkish sister-act Beste and Merve Manastir and their label Manu Atelier.

Photos: Splash News, Rex Features THANKS TO S/S ’16’s midi trend, we’ve grown used to skirts that embrace naked-from-the-knee-down dressing. But now a few leggy A-listers are upping the ante – and our hemlines. The miniskirt is back, and it’s skimpier than ever. Minis are a Marmite buy, but if you fall into the ‘loathe it’ camp, bear with us – in this case, good things come in small packages. This season’s minis are high-waisted, and range from the acceptable-as-daywear (see Alexa Chung’s button-down and Bella Hadid’s distressed denim) through to Emily Ratajkowski’s bend-over-at-your-peril black leather number. So what’s the secret? A nipped-in waist will create that holy grail of body shapes, the hourglass silhouette, so look for a slight A-line, and pair your mini with a tucked in cami…

Photos: Gallery Stock WHEN LI FUNG *  REALISED her husband had been cheating on her, she was understandably devastated. But instead of confronting him, or even hoping the affair would come to a natural end, the 34-year-old teacher immediately searched online for the services of an increasingly popular business in China: a ‘mistress-dispelling’ agency. ‘My husband started travelling with work and often acted cold towards me,’ Li tells Grazia. ‘I had a horrible feeling he was cheating and I wanted it to stop. When I went to the service they spied on him and confirmed it, but he has no idea that I know.’ Mistress-dispelling services specialise in ending affairs between married men and their lovers. For a premium price tag, some will even go as far as hiring…

KIDNAP VICTIM: ‘FREEDOM IS LIKE PRISON’ Natascha Kampusch, the 28-year-old Austrian woman who was kidnapped as a child and held hostage in a man’s cellar for eight years, has said the world’s obsession with her sexual abuse forced her into a second kind of prison. Next week marks 10 years since she escaped from Wolfgang Priklopil’s dungeon. PINTEREST RING OUTSHINES THE REST They say a diamond is forever, but would you want this one for eternity? Well, according to Pinterest, this £6,000 18-carat white-gold Raymond Lee ring is the most desired engagement ring in the world (on the internet), after being ‘pinned’ over 77,000 times on the aspirational website.

OUR PANEL LAURA GRABINER Grazia’s junior fashion news and features writer does a near perfect Cheryl impression and adheres strictly to the rule: what Dolce says, goes. @laura_grabiner JOHN CRACE The Guardian’s Parliamentary sketchwriter, his party trick is whittling Alexa’s It book down to 600 words. Life changing. DIANE KRUGER LAURA SAYS: While I’m into Diane’s gothic-lace-overlay-andshirting combo, there’s a lot going on here. And am I the only one who’s had enough of the embroidered satin bomber? JOHN SAYS: When underwear becomes outerwear and the boudoir meets the baseball park. Not everyone will have the confidence to pull this off but the parrots are clearly loving it. YOU SAY: By pairing a punchy bomber and a lace skirt with sleek cat-eye glasses and a classic blouse, Diane has created…

HAVING CLIMBED DOWN the steps into the boat’s cabin, I held up my arms for my partner Matthew to carefully pass down our precious newborn daughter Ivy from the cockpit. Looking at the extraordinarily cramped quarters now teeming with nappies, baby wipes, rompers, blankets and bottles, the boat suddenly felt like a very small place. I’d spent months attempting to prepare for this moment and now here I was, a first-time mum caring for a two-day-old baby aboard a boat with 10,000 miles ahead of us before we reached home. Was my dad right to be worried? Were we putting our little family in a life-threatening situation just for sheer thrills? It was soon after I’d met Matthew, a squadron leader in the RAF, in 2004 that he’d mentioned his…

TURBULENCES Jacques says: ‘I was in the garden with my father. The tuberose and jasmine were blooming and where the smells met it was amazing.’ We say: Tuberose lovers must try this now.

MALMÖ Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, is a relaxed, easy-going place on the south-west coast – 15km from Copenhagen, across the stunning Øresund Bridge. (If you’re a fan of Scandi noir TV series The Bridge, you’ll know it well!) Along with some great shopping, plus cafés and restaurants you’ll want to spend all day in, it also has a gorgeous coastline and beaches. WHAT TO DO Hire bikes and roam around town, as Malmö is a very cycle-friendly city. Take in the views of the ocean and the Øresund Bridge, stop off at the cool interiors stores – Design Torget (designtorget.se) is a good’un – before kicking back in one of the leafy parks. Get your culture fix at Malmö Modern Art Museum (modernamuseet.se/malmo/en) and Malmo Live (malmolive.se/en), a new…

The Kardashian-Jenners have never done things by halves, and Kylie’s latest holiday was the ultimate proof. To celebrate her 19th birthday, she selected a $50m estate in Turks and Caicos, where she hosted Kendall, Hailey Baldwin and her boyfriend Tyga.

Photos: Press Association, Reuters, Camera Press/ANSA/EPA Melanie Bromley, chief news correspondent at E! News unpicks the split in LA I have covered hundreds of Hollywood divorces, from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. But nothing could have prepared me for Johnny and Amber’s split. In recent years, we’ve become accustomed to sanitised break-ups and conscious uncouplings. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continue to go on tandem coffee runs and still live under the same roof. Kate Hudson and her ex boyfriend still go on holiday together – with his new girlfriend. And Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are proving you can still have a happily ever after even with Hollywood’s number one divorce lawyer Laura Wasser on speed dial. But this case has changed everything.…

Photos: Photoshot, Instagram/@taylorswift, Goff Photos, AKM-GSI-Xposure IT’S BEEN A SUMMER OF TWO halves for Taylor Swift. First, she took her rebound romance with Tom Hiddleston on a world tour, taking in Nashville, Suffolk, Rome and Australia – prompting accusations that the whole thing was a publicity stunt. Since then, she appears to have gone the other way, and retreated from the public eye. Last week, Tom was pictured flying into LA on Taylor’s private jet, but prior to this, the couple hadn’t been seen together since 27 July. According to one insider, the pair are still very much a couple, but have put the ‘brakes on after the initial whirlwind’. The source added, ‘They’ve had a lot of fun together, but things have slowed down, largely because Tom is so…

WHEN LILY JAMES MOVED from Downton Abbey star to Hollywood actor last year after landing the lead in Cinderella, she became an instant talking point – not always for the right reasons. The 27-year-old’s name went into social media orbit amid controversy over the size of her waist in the film, which some critics claimed could be damaging for young viewers. Lily has admitted feeling ‘disappointed’ that it became the focus of the film, with the incident threatening to overshadow her performance in her first blockbuster. Now, speaking to Grazia, the actor has tackled the comments at length for the first time, saying she thought they were ‘sexist’ and ‘objectifying’, adding, ‘It was the design of the dress, which was beautiful. I felt so frustrated. Photos: Trunk Archive, Burberry, Johan…

Last week Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana married singer Diego Ferrero in the Maldives, wearing the most barely-there dress since Lady Mary Charteris tied the knot in a gown slashed to her navel in 2012. A few weeks before, Isabeli had been bridesmaid to her friend and Victoria’s Secret Angel Ana Beatriz Barros, who wed businessman Karim El Chiaty in a picturesque ceremony in Mykonos. Plus, Belgian fash-pack fave Hanne Gaby Odiele married fellow model John Swiatek in the Catskills, in a quirky boho wedding worthy of…

Photos: Shutterstock, Alamy, Capital Pictures. Whistles: whistles. com. Baum und Pferdgartern: baumundpferdgarten.com. We need to talk about whether we can talk about the clothes women on TV wear. We need to do this because of Helen Skelton, who fronted the BBC Olympic swimming coverage while wearing clothes that provoked an initial Twitter/newspaper controversy on account of their perceived sexiness (‘Helen Skelton causes chaos as she flashes BRA’), and then a second controversy re the sexism of anyone commenting on a woman’s clothes, ever (‘Why do we care what our female presenters wear?’). But we also need to do this because Parliament’s back from summer recess on 5 September, at which point people will start discussing Theresa May’s wardrobe (again); then other people will say they shouldn’t, because anyone who has…

(posed by model): Trunk Archive SCROLLING THROUGH MY FACEBOOK FEED SIX MONTHS AGO, I saw a meme that made my stomach lurch. It said, ‘If you line up all your ex-lovers in a row, you can see a flow chart of your mental illness.’ I decided to do it, just for a joke, but was utterly taken aback by what I learned. Yes, I’m an absolute catastrophe when it comes to my love life – but it’s not been my exes’ fault or the fault of the fates, it’s been mine. While it’s funny to endlessly compare yourself to Bridget Jones, you can lose sight of the fact that she’s fictional. When you find yourself contemplating whether you’re doomed to be a ‘singleton’ forever, it’s actually just really sad. Lying…

Photos: Allstar, Xpusjp The new BBC murder mystery, One Of Us, opens with a weather forecasting warning of storms ahead. We’re in the Scottish Highlands. A pastor tries to becalm his congregation with a sermon about the trying enemy of nature. A more pressing and human danger is about to tear the idyllic rural fiefdom asunder. As news from Edinburgh reaches back that local schoolyard sweethearts Grace and Adam have had their throats slashed while watching their wedding video – key gratuitous detail and possible future plot-point: she’s pregnant – the prime suspect takes his comedy drug-twitch up north to visit their neighbouring families in rugged Braeston. One Of Us is almost farcically melodramatic, plotted like an infant game of Cluedo (every character comes furnished with one key backstory secret)…

Photo: Christopher/Ferguson/Mondadori Photo LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug Resist the temptation to smother certain people with extravagant gifts and gestures simply because you’re in the mood. The fact that Venus is allied to excessive Jupiter means that some of your motives could be misconstrued. It’s quite possible that one person in particular would prefer things between the two of you to be kept on a formal basis as, up to this point, the nature of your relationship hasn’t been properly established. VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sep Situations you find tolerable could become a source of irritation for people with whom you share your life. You must remain firm in your belief that there’s nothing wrong and not be galvanised into going on the offensive…

I was the first in our family to get into university and was going to study psychology, but my parents didn’t allow it. The thought of me going away frightened them. My biggest regret is I didn’t just go anyway. What’s your biggest extravagance? Recently? A laptop for my boys. They lost recipes off mine. When were you last…

Photos: Getty Images THE SOMALI-BRITISH POET Warsan Shire once wrote: ‘No one leaves home, unless home is the mouth of a shark.’ In 2016, 60 million people fled persecution around the world. A million of them are now in Europe – and 10,000 are just across the English Channel in Calais, living in squalor, moments away from queues of British holidaymakers on their drive home. When a heavily pregnant refugee feel the best chance for her and her baby is to try to jump on to a lorry on a French motorway, something is very wrong. I met such a woman last week.The brutality of war led her to leave Sudan, crossing mountains, seas and multiple countries seeking protection. Now she finds herself stuck in the hell that is the…

Photos: The Urban Spotter/Daniel Bruno Grandl, Getty Images  PARISIAN STYLE MIGHT be lauded as the chicest in the world, but Danish girls are giving the French a run for their money. And when the fashion set recently touched down for Copenhagen Fashion Week, the streets became an incubator for Scandi-cool styling. So, what’s on the shopping list of a Scandi street-style star? First up, the boxy blazer in heritage tweed, layered over everything from silky slip dresses to jeans-and-a-tee staples. For the more maximal, brightly printed pyjama suits are a must – wear yours with strappy heels come evening, or go full slumber party and pair with brocade slippers. When it comes to accessories, the punchier the better – cue an array (or should that be ray) of sunshine-yellow…

Photos: Instagram, Rex Features, Fame Flynet, Empics, Instagram/misslivalittle, Getty Images THERE ARE MANY WAYS to describe Kate Moss: supermodel, the original party girl, style icon… Now, you can add London’s most in-demand godmother to the list. Apparently Kate, 42, has been appointed godmother to LivTyler and Dave Gardner’s baby, Lula Rose Gardner, who was born in July. Lula is Liv and Dave’s second child – they had a son, Sailor, last year. Kate is already godmother to Dave’s first child, Grey, eight, who he had with his ex-wife Davinia Taylor. And Liv was keen to sign her model friend up for the duty again. ‘Liv and Kate are close friends and confidantes, and Kate was asked to be godmother earlier this year when the group of friends were on holiday…

MOST OF THE TIME, Naomi Isted follows a healthy, balanced diet, with plenty of fish and vegetables. But then there are the parties her career as a TV presenter and stylist take her to – the ones where alcohol is constantly flowing and everyone’s partaking. On those occasions, her diet alters drastically. ‘If I know I’m going to have a few drinks at a party, I’ve been known to skip meals and sometimes, I’ll only eat one meal that day because of this,’ she says. ‘Working in fashion, particularly on TV, it’s important that I stay slim. Usually, I manage to keep my weight at a level I’m happy with by counting calories and avoiding unhealthy food, but I do enjoy drinking when I’m socialising. That means if I’m going…

Jen’s ex, Elliot Rossiter (pictured together, above left), 46, who dated her for three years, tells Grazia, ‘There were a lot of reasons why Jen and I agreed to be friends instead of a couple. The very deep love remained, but we were bad for each other when we were in a relationship. She hasn’t got a romantic bone in her body and I never knew where I stood with her – she’d blow hot and cold. She disguised her insecurity at the time behind bitchy, and often very caustic, swipes. And, while she has a lust for life and a capacity for joy and fun that’s astounding, there was also a dark, mixed-up side lurking underneath – which undoubtedly came from her crazy, tragic childhood. We argued a lot,…

The Great British High Street hasn’t held back either, so sifting through a sea of camo is no mean feat. So, how do you wear them? Khaki is a dream with denim, so team yours with blue jeans by day, and mix with black separates by night – J Crew’s wide-leg trousers are crying out for metallic heels and a sexy black silk cami for an evening do. This is one of those rare trends that flatters all shapes and sizes, so no excuses!…

Photo: Getty Images EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features & special projects editor As much as I was chilled by the stalking, I was also drawn into our narrator’s caricature of the once-lauded novelist Mr. M. Our narrator is miffed at the writer’s artistic licence in creating the plot of his most famous book – a mystery where a teacher has an affair with a student, only to be murdered by the girl and her teenage boyfriend. With the story reflecting his own dark past, it gives the book a unique twist. ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’s junior features writer It’s the haunting manner in which the narrator addresses his nemesis in the first person that had me gripped from page one. In the same way you convince yourself that a psycho will burst…

BAKING BLISS The Great British Bake Off is note-perfect, as ever. The casting, the tension, the delivery of Mel and Sue, the subtle volumisation of Mary Berry’s hair, all iced by the noses of punters pressed against ovens, hoping their sponges might rise them toward stardom. Our early favourites: Candice (Anna Friel with a spatula), Solasi (coolest contender ever) and Val (who talks to her cakes).

NOTHING BUT A NUMBER It has taken me two weeks to write this, but that shows I couldn’t stop thinking about the article ‘Why Age No Longer Matters’ (1 August) – even after getting Grazia’s latest edition. I’m 24, but the ladies in the article spoke to me. My grandma bought her first pair of jeans in her sixties; I swap clothes with my mum – and I love that they have been, as you called it, ‘age-nostic’ for as long as I can remember. What all these ladies have taught me is that if I want to do something, that’s all that matters.
