Inhaltsverzeichnis für Issue 551 in Grazia

Does it matter how you define yourself? Smart? Successful? Pretty? Plain? (Read Tammy Cousins’ piece on why she’s happy that she’s never turned heads on page 61.) Or even how you think about your gender – man, woman or, in the case of Jack Monroe on page 50, ‘they’? This issue, we tackle all these questions and more – including whether it’s time to celebrate the ‘fake life’ backlash (on page 42 – step away from the Instagram filter now!). And if you were wondering how to refresh your wardrobe now winter’s officially here, it’s time to embrace fashion’s biggest (literally) new trend. Get set to go supersized on page 20! Finally, ever since the sensational divorce of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise in 2012, we’ve all been desperate to…

WHENEVER SCIENTOLOGY hits headlines, Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Katie Holmes are never far behind. And last week came an avalanche of the most shocking claims to date – claims that had far-reaching effects on prominent members of the Hollywood elite, such as Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Jada Pinkett Smith, director JJ Abrams and John Travolta. But it was Tom Cruise – regarded as number two in the religion – whose reputation took the most tarnishing, with his six-year marriage to Katie laid bare. Former high-ranking Scientologist and one-time close friend to Tom and Katie, actress Leah Remini finally published her much-hyped, tell-all memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood And Scientology. In the book – and in a series of interviews last week – Leah made a host of shocking claims about…

AS OUR STYLE CRUSHES don their winter wardrobes, we’ve noticed a (not so) little trend emerging on the streets: supersized fashion. This season, bigger is better – whether you go a size (or three) up and bag a bomber, embrace the xxL menswear trouser trend, or pump up your sleeves. Even small details are making a big impact, with blown-up buttons and buckles – from Alexa Chung’s Burberry Prorsum coat with its clusters of boiled-sweet buttons to Kate Bosworth’s A.L.C. buckled dress. And whether you head to the high street for a quick update or invest in an It buy, one thing’s for certain: size matters. BLOW IT UP Julia Sarr-Jamois’ inflated bomber sets the tone, with oversized flight jackets and sporty zip-ups making for a very modern silhouette. OFF…

Photos: Rex, Film Magic, Getty, Bauer-Griffin, PA THE RED CARPET has seen the return of a boxy-shouldered old friend of late – the trouser suit. But if the idea of power dressing conjures up visions of pinstripes and black polyester, think again. This season, tuxedo dressing has gone technicolour. On the A/W ’15 catwalks, Gucci set the alternative-suit mood with claret-red and bottle-green tailoring for an eclectic, androgynous collection that many stores are now emulating. The A-list have wasted no time in, erm, following suit, and picking up the brightly coloured baton are Beyoncé in tequila-sunrise orange Barbara Bui, and Carey Mulligan in powder blue Marc Jacobs (nabbed straight from their S/S ’16 catwalk, no less) among others. The key to getting it right? Forgo a frilly blouse – a…

Photos: Jason Lloyd-Evans JEWELLERY MAGPIES, take note – there’s a new crystal kid on the block. Prada’s A/W ’15 show saw models take to the runway with sparkle-encrusted updos, and It girls in the know have been quick on the uptake – cue Alexa Chung and Harley Viera-Newton, tresses dripping with Bulgari diamonds. Unapologetically feminine and downright glam, this was a trend made for the party season – even if it’s practically verging on casualwear for the Duchess of Cambridge. And with the high street getting in on the action too (zara’s intricate floral wreath is bang on), outshining the disco ball needn’t cost the earth – and you can even skip the blow-dry. Bad hair days never looked so good……

THE MEDIA SPACED OUT ABOUT MAKE-UP Six amazing female astronauts in Russia entered a mock spaceship for eight days, to prepare for a trip to the moon in 2029. And so, of course, at the press conference they were bombarded with questions about how they’d ‘cope’ without make-up, hair products and men. Astronaut Anna Kussmaul went full-on sarcastic: ‘I don’t know how we’ll survive without shampoo. Because even in this situation, we really want to stay looking pretty.’ MEMES TOOK A POP AT THE PM Hands up who thought David Cameron already got his fair share of internet mockery last month (* side-eyes PigGate* )? Blame Downing Street, who last week updated their Facebook profile pic with the PM wearing a faked-up, pixelated poppy. Cue endless ridiculing memes. Squeal! FRUIT…

OUR PANEL CHARLIE GOWANS-EGLINTON Grazia’s junior fashion news and features editor has an eye for the eclectic and a pathological fear of men in flip-flops. @charliegowans JOHN CRACE The Guardian’s Parliamentary sketchwriter, his party trick is whittling Alexa’s It book down to 600 words. Life changing. GWYNETH PALTROW CHARLIE SAYS: ‘There’s a yacht just out of shot here, right? Gwyneth’s ’70s blow-dry and blouson-sleeved Ralph & Russo dress are actually really working for me here – who knew?’ JOHN SAYS: ‘Gwyneth appears to have nipped into Princess Michael of Kent’s boudoir and come racing out in her dressing gown. Surely there must have been something better than this there? Or maybe not.’ YOU SAY: ‘Gwyn nailed classic Hollywood. She just looks so gloss!’ @FLYON88 KATE BOSWORTH CHARLIE SAYS: ‘It does…

YOU KNOW THAT FEELING when you’re umming and ahhing over whether to buy a £29,000 coat-dress in the Alexander Mcqueen store on Old Bond Street. Oh, you don’t? Me neither. Until a Thursday-morning shopping stint with my new companion, San Francisco-based social butterfly and author Christine Suppes (pronounced ‘soups’), one of the biggest clothing collectors of our time. When Christine’s recent style tome, Electric Fashion , landed with a thud on my desk at Grazia Hq, a thousand and one questions were born. First and foremost, if this showcases a mere fraction of her whole collection, then just how big is it? And how does one woman amass such a catalogue? How much has she spent on clothes in her lifetime? Can couture ever be daywear? And what does a…

Softer, fresher and more interesting than black, its deep, punchy undertones work wonders come cocktail hour. 3 Ways to wear it ‘For a modern finish, go for a graphic shape,’ advises make-up maestro and man-behind-this-look Peter Philips. ‘To create the large half-moon design, apply eyeshadow in a dense block across the upper eyelid and go over the top with a damp sponge applicator for a punchy pigment hit.’…

DYNAMIC ASTROLOGY BEST FOR Self-motivation and dealing with personal dilemmas. We’ve all had those moments when we feel lost and confused – a career in crisis or a relationship on the rocks can leave you struggling to see the wood for trees. ‘Sometimes the only way forward is to focus on yourself and the rest will fall into place,’ says dynamic astrologer and soul coach Carolyne Faulkner. If the closest you’ve come to astrology is reading your horoscope, then you may baulk at the idea that it could have any significant impact on your decision-making process. According to Carolyne, however, the placement of the planets at the moment you were born will have an influence on everything from the energy you’re attracted to in a partner, to the emotional struggles…

TOMÕS WILD TEMPER Explaining how Scientologists were said to be ‘terrified of offending Tom', Leah recounts a scene she witnessed at his home. Tom was keen to make cookies for his guests, so an assistant laid the dough out on the counter, but Tom didn't see it. ‘Get in the f ***** g present time,' Leah said he raged. ‘LRH [L Ron Hubbard] is here [he raises his hand above his head to indicate hierarchy], and Dave and I are here [lowers his hand] and you are here [hand right down].' He also once allegedly publicly berated an assistant for serving him tea in a chipped mug. TOMÕS CHILDREN DISOWNED NICOLE KIDMAN Leah once asked Connor and Bella if they ever saw their mother. ‘Not if I have a choice,'…

Photos: Rex Features, Alamy, Getty Images Vivienne Durham, the well-regarded headmistress of a well-regarded independent school, last week advised telling schoolgirls they may have to choose between a career and children. ‘I’m not a feminist,’ she said. ‘Women still have to plan for a biological fact – ie, motherhood.’ This confused me a bit because I am a feminist, yet I also believe that women have to… if not plan for motherhood exactly – that sounds like it might involve spreadsheets – but definitely think about it. Whether or not they want children, under what circs, how it might impact their lives, yadda yadda. Do I think we need to teach this to schoolgirls? Not unless we’re also teaching schoolboys. Isn’t that what really messes with women’s career progression? The…

AS I SCROLLED THROUGH the usual pictures of cute dogs and friends’ babies on Facebook recently, one viral post by several outraged friends forced me to pause. The video captured an angry exchange at a wedding in London. In the clip, filmed on a shaky smartphone, a 25-strong group of men shout and chant in protest inside a Sikh temple, as priests and family members try to reason with them, and the worried bride waits nervously outside. Eventually those in charge, fearful of violence, cancel the ceremony, and the devastated couple return home. All because they belong to different religions. Recent analysis from the Office for National Statistics says almost one in 10 people living in Britain are married to or living with someone from outside their own ethnic group.…

Photos: Sky Atlantic, Landmark Media, All star, Wenn The Last Panthers opens with a botched diamond heist in Marseilles. It feels a bit like The Bourne Identity, if it had been cast by The Streets’ Mike Skinner (aptly, the show’s director Johan Renck was responsible for the Dry Your Eyes video). It’s made by Warp Films (This Is England) and written by man-of-the-hour Jack Thorne (next theatrical gig: Harry Potter), moving through a Hungarian wasteland to Belgrade, Serbia, for a carefully calibrated, beautifully observed and occasionally terrifying study of Eastern European dispossession. Of the wonderfully sprawling central cast that includes a man called Animal (you’ll see why) and acting deity John Hurt, the big draw is Samantha Morton, the flawless Nottingham actress in her first major TV role since playing…

WISHING AND HOPING Thank you so much for raising awareness of the life-saving Anthony Nolan charity (‘I knew my boyfriend had cancer before he did’, 9 November). It is a truly fantastic charity and Ella’s story of John’s path to diagnosis really struck a chord with me. My husband, Tony, who is the love of my life – we’ve been together for 14 years – was diagnosed with blood cancer in June this year. The revelation shook me to the core. But Ella’s story has made me realise how fortunate I am. Tony has leukaemia and the outlook is uncertain, but we do know he does stand a chance of recovery. After a surreal few months – possibly the worst part of which has been trying to explain leukaemia to…

Photos: Reuters, Capital, Photoshot KENDALL JENNER IS, without contest, the most reluctant Kardashian. The model celebrated her 20th birthday last week as it was announced that she would be walking the prestigious Victoria’s Secret show for the first time. By all accounts, her priorities now lie in the fashion world, rather than the reality TV empire that is her lineage; but, unfortunately for Kendall, as her star ascends, ‘momager’ Kris seems ever keener to tether it to the Kardashian brand. Now, word has reached Grazia that, much to Kendall’s disdain, she will be placed front and centre in the next series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. ‘Kris is a businesswoman and knows that, apart from Kim, Kendall has the biggest currency right now,’ an LA-based source told us last…

IF THE SCENES OF the stranded holidaymakers and worried relatives are familiar, so too are the questions raised by the tragedy in Egypt: what caused the crash of the Airbus A321, which has an excellent safety record? If it was a terrorist attack, as many suspect, what does that mean for all those planning air travel in the coming weeks, months or years? Is another favourite destination for Western tourists seeking some respite from grey skies now ruled out? And how scared should we be about flying anywhere at all? The first thing is that no one can be sure – for now – this was definitely a terrorist attack. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility and David Cameron has said it’s ‘more likely than not’ terrorists were involved. But…

Photos: Xposure, Getty, Fame Flynet MADONNA HAS NEVER BEEN one to stand still. During her career she’s been a street-smart urchin, crow-bothering goth, and home-counties madam (not to mention the unpleasantness with Vanilla Ice in her infamous Sex book). One area in which she is apparently happy to retrace her steps is her love life. To wit: her ex-husband Sean Penn has made appearances at her recent shows in New York and Vancouver, prompting rumours of a reconciliation. The pair have also been spotted enjoying an intimate dinner at Shutters On The Beach in Santa Monica, and are said to have stayed in the same hotel during her Rebel Heart tour. According to one associate, ‘They’ve really enjoyed reconnecting. Despite the years that have elapsed since their marriage ended, their…

Photos: Essena O'Neill/Instagram INSTAGRAM STAR and model Essena O'Neill (right and above) made headlines last week when she revealed that her perfect social media life was ‘a lie'. In an emotional YouTube video, she admitted her pictures ‘served no real purpose other than self-promotion'; that a stomach-baring selfie took more than 100 shots to get right and was the only thing that made her happy that day; she'd worn clothes she was paid to promote; and that all shots had been filtered using several apps. She's now deleted her Instagram account and launched a new site dedicated to authenticity: letsbegamechangers.com. Online, image is everything. My favourite Reddit story is the one about a teenage girl whose classmate asked her for a sexy picture. She responded with what appeared to be…

aged 20. EVERYONE HAS THAT ONE FRIEND, don’t they? That one crazy-beautiful friend, who even strangers fawn over. A friend who, when you walk into a party together, turns every head, commanding the entire room’s attention. The friend you totally adore but, when you’re together, you can’t help feeling like you’re living in their shadow. If you’re wondering, I am definitely not that shining, head-turning friend. I’m lots of things: funny, clever, silly and, most of all, happy – but, while some might think I’m attractive, I’m not beautiful. There are so many expectations placed on women to be beautiful. We fixate on looks – particularly with girls – to a ridiculous extreme. We take a thousand selfies to get the right one and social media is making this obsession…

And it seems the shade is set to become a catwalk staple – showcasing on eyelids alone at no fewer than fifteen S/S ’16 shows. Maybe the best thing, though, is that (a bit like jeans) it looks as good in real life as on the runway – oh,…

HANNAH ALMASSI Grazia’s fashion news and features editor If, like me, you are at the age of Crosley’s motley crew of characters – they’re all in the throes of that new phenomenon, the quarter-life crisis – then the novel’s initial wedding-reunion set-up is pointedly, undeniably close to the bone. She’s observant to the degree that we all are about our peers, only most people wouldn’t say these thoughts out loud – making the small details about each and every character one of the most enjoyable and pleasurably cringe-y parts of this book.
