Inhaltsverzeichnis für Issue 543 in Grazia

Weloveabit(alot)offoodinthe Grazia office. What to eat for breakfast/lunch/tea/dinner takes up a large proportion of our daily chat (FYI, fashion team, I know all about your ‘secret' KFC habit). Eating in and out is now a national obsession. But if you want to get one step ahead, you need to join the brunch bunch. It's the most lucrative meal of the moment and Brits spend the equivalent of £76 million A DAY on it. But what to wear to our newest, trendiest meal? Meet your brunch wardrobe on page 24 (you can thank us later!). One of the women we've talked most about this week is Amal Clooney and I'm really proud to featureheron Grazia'scover.Manypeopleexpected her to become a typical Hollywood wife when she married George Clooney, but in her first…

IT’S NEARLY A YEAR SINCE George Clooney married the relatively unknown British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin in a lavish Venetian ceremony. At the time, there was lots of speculation that Amal – a hugely successful and respected barrister – would ditch her career to become a trophy Hollywood wife. What a difference a year makes – and just how much did people underestimate Amal? In fact, it is George who’s slipped into the role of adoring, admiring spouse. Only last week, he flashed that famous grin while admitting to being Amal’s ‘arm candy’. And when he dropped a blooper during a speech in New York, he corrected himself and said, ‘My wife’s the smart one.’ As for those green-eyed critics who suggested she would settle into the quiet life…

Photos: Rex Features, Getty Images, Splash News ITWAS SENSATIONALLY claimed last week that Katie Holmes had worn a disguise for a secret rendezvous with rumoured boyfriend Jamie Foxx. However, Grazia has learned that Katie could have her eye on a second actor. Namely Luke Wilson. Luke, 43, is starring alongside Katie in her directorial debut about a single mother struggling to make a better life for her daughter during the noughties recession. And while Luke has a significant role in the new film handpicked by Katie apparently sources say that off-set the pair have also been close. Apparently, they re often spotted holding hands and Katie makes frequent visits to Lukes trailer. Its getting way beyond the normal protocol between the director and the leading man, said a source. Katie,…

But its not just eveningwear; roll necks, tees and tracksuit bottoms all look better in lurex, with retro stripes tapping into the 70s trend that fashion wont tire of any time soon. Kate Bosworth (right) nailed it for day, pairing her luxed-up tank top with jeans, and we ll be paying homage with M&Ssshimmeringversion(3) yep,our high street go-tos are in on the action, too. With grey skies overhead, we could all use a little sparkle, and these magpie buys prove all that…

Photos: OIC Pictures, Rex Features, Reuters/Stefano Rellandini THETROUBLE WITH fancying people is that it reveals how shallow we all are. When you love someone from afar, you'll wake up thinking about them, giggle when you see them and secretly look at as many internet pictures of them as you are legally allowed. Their existence is an all consuming obsession.Then you see a picture of them in a bad hat. Game over. This week, I said goodbye to my oldest teenage crush, Johnny Depp, for entirely superficial reasons. As someone who complains about the cruel way in which we judge celebrities on their appearance and dismiss them when they start to age, I've become the world's biggest hypocrite. I saw a new picture of Johnny Depp, tuxedo jacket straining over his…

‘OH MY GOODNESS!’ says the photographer, as he crouches by my feet. I m sat in probably one of the most compromising positions of my career so far: squeezing (with ungraceful difficulty) both bum cheeks on to a chair more or less the size of one of my size eight OK, sometimessizenine shoes.Itsachilds chair and I, quite obviously, am a rather large adult. Or, as the photographer puts it between bellowing Ha! every couple of seconds, You re enormous! He was, of course, joking. And I didnt mind besides,itsnotlikeIhaventheard it before. I m six feet tall with a 35-inch leg which makes me far from small, despite being a size 12. I m the girl who blocks your view at gigs, who hugs you awkwardly and walks with a subtly…

THE THING ABOUT accidental internet fame is that it all happens very quickly. One day in 2012, I checked my phone and saw that I had dozens of notifications on social media. I looked at Twitter and Facebook to find the same message over and over. ‘Kate, is this you? Kate, have you seen this? Kate, look at this!’ All had a picture of me attached, which I instantly recognised as being one I’d taken two years earlier, on Halloween. That year, in need of a last-minute costume, I’d decided to go as a hipster, pairing denim shorts with a tie-dye crop top, Birkenstocks with woollen socks, and wearing a braid around my head. I had finished off the look with my own glasses. Before I left for the party,…

Words: Joe Stone. Reading list: Emily Phillips. Photos: Photoshot, Shutterstock, Getty, ©Pracusa PM 1 My favourite place to eat is Rochelle Canteen. It s in the grounds of a Victorian school in Shoreditch. I always order the blush lamb with blanco beans. 3 I recently saw MistressAmerica at the cinema to prepare for interviewing Greta Gerwig. She was great, and the film made me want to run away to NYC. 5 I run a pop up supper club with my friend, and love reading cookbooks Nigel Slater, Simon Hopkinson or Moro: The Cookbook by Sam & Sam Clark. 10 I m currently reading Nina Stibbe. She was a nanny to the editor of the London Review Of Books in the 80s, and Love, Nina is all her funny letters home…

FLAT-SCREENS HAVE MADE TVs less of a design disaster than they used to be, but if you’re not a fan of a large ‘black hole’ sucking the style from your sitting room, here are four weekend projects you can try – and four TV benches you can buy. BE INSPIRED BY MONDRIAN Disguise your telly by recreating a Mondrian style work of art, with painted walls and canvases.

LETTER OF THE WEEK LIFE AFTER BIRTH I read ‘Being a parent is brilliant but, boy, is it boring’ (14 September) with interest. I m pregnant with my second child, my first has just turned two, and I remember the early days well. The Groundhog Day of feeding and nappies is enough to drive anyone mad, but its only boring if you dont accept this is your life and embrace it! I joined every class going, made an effort to make new friends and saw non-mummy friends as often as I could (no baby talk allowed!) Its like any job, you can make the best of it or moan. I always had Grazia and chocolate in my nappy bag for when he took a nap, and relished that free time.…

Barely a day goes by thatAmal's fashion choices aren't acclaimed. InAugust alone, shemadethetopfiveof Vanity Fair's best dressed list, and nabbed a spot onAmerican Vogue'sweekly10Best Dressed list twice.And her style has changed in recent months. When she first hit the limelight, her style was feminine and unfussy a mix of classic tailoring, understated bags and business y heels. Since then she's debuted more top to toe designer outfits, for a more polished, luxe look. In May,Amal's appearance at the Met Ball inTHAT Maison Margiela studded red dress caused a sensation.And her label of choice? We'd put our money on…

BRUNCH ISTHE NEW GOING OUT. Brits now spend upwards of £76m a day on it (well, who says you have to be restricted to weekends?), we ve spotted celebrities like Alexa Chung grabbing a bite to eat with a skip in their step and a jumper tied around the waist of a breezy dress, while fashion sites, style blogs and Pinterest boards are currently obsessed with compiling the most brunch-y of brunch ensembles. The reason why its struck such a chord? Because the art of the brunch wardrobe is about looking effortless. Its making sure your outfit doesnt come across as crumpled, even if you are feeling fragile the morning after the night before. Its striking the right balance between casual and wearing something too nice, only to be left…

HOW MANY TIMES have you dreamt of trading in your 9 to 5 for a life of adventure? Perhaps you ll fly to Asia, get swept off your feet in Italy… Or would you actually be cleaning toilets all day and subsisting on crackers, while scraping five hours sleep a night? Still interested? Look past these unfathomably glamorous Instagram shots, and this is the reality of travelling, according to Chanel Cartell and Stevo Dirnberger, the couple who hit headlines for revealing the uglier side of long-term travel. Browsing through our Instagram and blog posts, you d think we were having the time of our lives, Chanel told Grazia exclusively. But its not all ice creams in the sun and pretty landscapes… Photos: Chanel Cartell/Instagram, Stevo Dirnbeger/Instagram, How Far From Home/Instagram,…

Photos: Getty Images, Capital, Alamy, Xposure Photos NEWS BREAKS that students are becoming increasingly sensible. This years freshers weeks will be less about getting mindlessly battered, and more about salsa classes and something called raveminton (night-time badminton, played with UV rackets and glow sticks). Its presumed to be a consequence of rocketing uni fees, which have encouraged a shift away from bad behaviour and beer, towards seriousness/occasional bouts of rigorously organised fun. Meanwhile, the Office For National Statistics released figures showing that the proportion of teetotal young adults rose by 40% between 2005 and 2013. The press has started calling the 25 and Under brigade Generation Square on account of their sober, risk- and debt-averse ways. And hurrah, I say; because ME TOO! Sure, I m technically part of cocktail-swilling,…

Photos: Rex Features, Xposure Photos EVERYONE KNOWS A QUEEN BEE, right? The senior woman who cant stand to see other women coming up behind her; the one who will do anything to remain the only alpha female. But its funny how rare they are in real life, these mythical overgrown mean girls who succeed only by trampling over other women. A recent study by Columbia Business School found companies with female CEOs are now, if anything, more likely to gain other women in senior positions. And in politics at least, looking out for other women increasingly looks like not just the nice thing to do, but the smart thing to do. Harriet Harman returned to the backbenches last week, after four months as temporary leader of her party (and decades…

MARQ ES’AL EI A JOIN THE FRAY Marques’Almeida’s raw-edges have started a revolution – layer frayed pieces for grown-up grunge. THE COLOUR WASH True blues not your bag? This season’s muted pastels are just the ticket. Or burgundy, brown, khaki green… TAILOR MADE Denim might be a casualwear staple, but these tailored shapes are more workwear than weekend. Time to smarten up! THE ’70s REMIX RETRO JEANS Our new denim staples have something in common their 70s roots. Boxy dungarees, slick flares, pinafore dresses and button-through A-line skirts tap into autunms main mood. A-LINE SKIRTS BLUE JEAN BABY As captured by photographer Scott Schulman on the same NY street two years apart (above), often the original – blue jeans, a white tee and en-pointe shoes – is the best.

Well, the staple morphs into new guises this season, with the latest street-style snaps awash with tunics over trousers. Its the perfect tip for mixing up your workwear, but if you want to take your tunic out of the boardroom then swing into the 60s. Add over-the-knee patent boots à la Chiara Ferragni (left) and put a roll-neck underneath heading into autumn. Or warm up in a matching knit co-ord from Topshop (bottom) and wear with felt Marni sandals.…

CHALLENGE MEGAN Could you wear denim for 30 days straight?Well, that’s the challenge we set fashion blogger and friend of Grazia, Megan Ellaby (Pages by Megan).

FROM SEVENTIES-STYLEA-LINE SKIRTS to the new cropped flares – via super-cute dungarees and classic shirts – theres no getting away from the fact that denim is everywhere this season. But everyones favourite fashion friend needs looking after – how often do you invest in a box-fresh pair of jeans and find that, after just one wash, they ve faded or look patchy? Contrary to what you might think, its not just down to the detergent, but also how much you use – and too often people overdose and inadvertently do more damage. Thats where Miele – the brand with over 100 years laundry care experience – comes in. Mieles experts have just launched a new W1 washing machine with denim-friendly features, starting with a unique dispensing system that releases the…

And let's face it, who isn't? Set after his thrilling encounter with Auric Goldfinger, this new story follows the super spy in a Grand Prix-fixing drama, which stays true to the glamorous Bond canon. Thirteen Guests by J Jefferson Farjeon (£8.99, The British Library Publishing Division) The British Library is in the process of reprinting classic crime novels, and this 1930s hunting party murder mystery is a retro tale that Agatha Christie fans will love.

Australian model Julia Nobis, whose prominent nose porcelain pale and a geometric wonder in profile totally steals the show in the new multi model Dior ads. Likewise, all eyes are on Belgian beauty Anne Catherine Lacroix's kookily hooked nose, despite her lurking witchily in the background of Proenza Schouler's quartet of women.

In true VB fashion the star managed to create a media storm when she was snapped leaving her Dover Street store with a wispy new fringe in the style of Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn – her first bangs since 2009. Hairstylist Shon – who gave Victoria the temporary look – told Grazia the designer made the snap decision while having her hair styled at her London home for a photo shoot, as she looked after her son Romeo and daughter Harper.…

HOW WILL SHOE MAESTRO Nicholas Kirkwood celebrate his brands first decade in fashion? With a collectors edition of 10 unique styles inspired by childhood action figures and early 90s arcade culture (for the record, he admits he could probably beat us at Pac-Man). His stacked platforms, neon prints, high-shine plastics and metallic gridwork are guaranteed to bring out a girls footwear fantasies and these are indeed far from everyday shoes, with a price tag (starting at £1,800) to match. But then Kirkwoods footwear has always been adventurous his first design , created when he was a child, was inspired by the automatic lace-ups on cult 85 flick Back To The Future . I fell in love with that pair. So I tried to draw my own version, like a similar…

Barack Obama ate a raw salmon while hiking through Alaska with telly survivalist Bear Grylls, and declared it, ‘One of the best days of my presidency.’ We wondered how far it’s possible to attack ISIS without actually going to war, after two British jihadis who’d gone to Syria were killed in a targeted British drone strike. Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, spoke out against what she called a ‘hideous and quite cruel’ commentary on her looks.…

‘IT’SALL NEW. THE STORE’S NEW. The babys new, laughs Simone Rocha, seven months pregnant with her first child and happily installed in her (also first) flagship store, recently opened in Londons Mayfair. The area has become something of an enclave for British design talent, including Roksanda Ilincic, Christopher Kane, Roland Mouret and Nicholas Kirkwood, who drops in for a sneak peek as we talk. Remarkably, though, while the others have been in business for a decade or more, Simone, 29, graduated just five years ago. For her individual take on hyper-femininity (undercut by her best-seller: perpsexsoled mannish brogues) she has become one of the best-loved names at London Fashion Week. This latest venture is beautiful: a jewellery box of a place filled with artefacts, from a huge flower sculpture installation…

CLEARLY,TRAVELLING ALONE doesn't necessarily mean being alone. Some of my most memorable trips have been solo adventures, where I've explored remote parts of the planet, or learned a new skill like surfing, and met people who have become life long friends. And while there's nothing stopping you packing a bag and trekking the world on your own, there are more organised options out there for solo travellers than ever.Travel companies have upped their game in recent years, broadening their offerings, with many of them scrapping single supplements (so often a sting in the tail for lone travellers). Options include everything from activity holidays to escorted tours (tailored for exclusively or predominantly singles). Look for ones that bring you together but allow freedom to go off and do what you want;…

GOING CLEAR We have to wait till halfway through this deeply troubling documentary about Scientology until its starriest names hone into view. Holding back JohnTravolta and Tom Cruise is a masterstroke in this gripping, investigative Sky/ HBO co-production. Rather than concentrating on the marquee names that have taken Scientology into the world’s living room, this film focuses on the real stars of the show: the religion’s founder L Ron Hubbard, who questioned his own sanity, and his successor David Miscavige. Going Clearmakes some extraordinary allegations and talks to senior figures who’ve defected; promptingthe church to call the film a ‘one-sided, bigoted propaganda built on falsehoods’ and threaten legal action. Director Alex Gibney’s feature-length movie has the human sensibility of the year’s other great documentary, The Jinx. I’d have paid good…
