It was the shocking incident that dominated Paris Fashion Week – and continued to be talked about long after the shows had finished. Just hours after sitting front row at Givenchy, Kim Kardashian was the victim of an armed robbery at her apartment. As she fled the city (with the attackers having stolen £8 million of her jewellery), the A-list world appeared divided over whether Kim now needs to reconsider her social media presence; she’d recently shared an image wearing a new £3.5m diamond engagement ring. On page 18, one of Kim’s friends – who’s been speaking to the star this week – offers an insight into the future of ‘Brand Kim’. In other news, would you lie about being in a relationship if you thought it would help you…

Photos: Getty Images, Splash News, PA Ever the champion of up-and-coming designers, Rihanna was pictured out at Paris Fashion Week in the puffer to end all puffers. The billowing, printed pink number comes courtesy of 23-year-old fine arts graduate Ella Boucht. Having Queen Ri sport your threads is an epic achievement for an established designer, let alone one whose career has barely started. This coat of dreams was part of Boucht’s graduate collection, which showed during Stockholm Fashion Week. And who was sitting front row? None other than RiRi’s stylist, who swiftly asked the designer if she could borrow some looks for her famous client to wear. Reflecting on the furore surrounding the coat, Boucht said, ‘I have had so much positive feedback from people around the world! It was…

PARIS FASHION WEEK Photos: Daniel Bruno Grandl/The Urban Spotter FOR A/W ’16 , the mini bag is, ironically, big news. But while a wallet-sized cross-body might look chic, they’re not exactly the handiest. That ‘space for a credit card, phone and lippy’ stuff is all well and good, but where does one keep one’s sunglasses? Or diary? Or work phone? Or flat shoes in case your feet hurt? Or scarf for when it gets nippy? If you’ve bought into the bijou bag trend, you’ll know we speak the truth: tiny bag, mammoth problem – necessitating a bag-for-life in hand on the morning commute. Luckily, the micro bag has spawned a stylish spin-off trend: double bagging. Meet the overflow bag, roomy enough to handle your laptop/wash bag/gym kit. And these are…

I don’t mean to brag[1] : but I have a really nice tragus. I didn’t know what one was either, but then Penny who works at Maria Tash in Liberty – a woman I’ve visited so often since the NYC piercing institution first opened in London, I’ve started referring to her as ‘my piercer’ – complimented me on mine, when I popped in to get the stud I’d pulled out of my upper ear while over-vigorously shampooing my hair, reinserted. ‘You’ve got a great tragus,’ Penny said, and I giggled and blushed, because a) Penny’s super-cool, and b) I’ll take pretty much any compliment that’s offered me, even one that relates to a part of my body I’ve never heard of. ‘OMG THANKS!’ I said. Then: ‘Erm… What is one…

From hair removal to people pleasing, via tipping etiquette and how to escape a party without seeming rude, there’s nothing about modern life that author Marian Keyes hasn’t tried to navigate. Here, she shares her wisdom in exclusive extracts from her latest book …ON THERAPY Despite being ludicrously lucky in having a lovely job and a lovely husband and a great family (they turned out to be not dull at all), I always felt… I suppose the best word is afraid. Afraid and incomplete. So I did rehab, sobriety, counselling, craniosacral therapy, meditation, reiki, reflexology, sugar, no sugar, sugar, no sugar and ‘good deeds’ (basically offering lifts to strangers standing in the rain at bus stops – they never accepted but I got the warm glow of having done ‘a…

WALLFLOWERS, TAKE A deep breath. This autumn, fashion has embraced the Eccentric, with a capital E. The catwalks were packed with prints, from ’70s-inspired florals to graphic geometrics, rubbing shoulders with touch-feely texture. Think magic-eye blouses worn with retro cord trousers, or a gothic floral skirt layered under a chunky Aran knit. This season’s colour palette is less black-and-navy neutrals, more Moroccan bazaar, with rich jewel tones – emerald greens, sapphire blues and ruby reds – promising to brighten up a grey British winter. But while the inspiration might speak of far-flung destinations, the clash-’em-up aesthetic is pure homegrown hipster. Give your everyday staples a new spin by adding statement accessories – try a patchwork ankle boot with knitted dresses, swap your black work bag for luxe printed purple, or…

1 THE EXPERT: TERESA TARMEY THE PROBLEM Controlling adult acne. THE TECHNIQUE ‘I’ve suffered with acne for years and have tried everything. The long-term fix has been controlling my diet and, in turn, my digestive system. Combined with targeted, professional skincare products this really works.’ THE DAILY FIX ‘Corrective glycolic-acid-based cleansers are effective at keeping pores clear and won’t strip your skin like many of the alcohol-based face washes aimed at spot-prone skin. I swear by Neostrata Foaming Glycolic Wash, £23.’ THE TREATMENT Weekly Extraction Sessions. ‘This doesn’t mean squeezing my own spots! Anyone with acne or oily skin will know how quickly blackheads form, but squeezing them yourself is a no-no. I have weekly extraction facials to stop blockages turning to breakouts.’ THE TECH ‘Twenty years of acne has…

Photos: Capital Pictures, All Star In Divorce, Sarah Jessica Parker’s barnstorming return to HBO, the generation-defining actress undercuts every fantasy of fairy-tale womanhood she represented as Carrie Bradshaw. Once the hot, well-shod, metropolitan wit describing her bedpost notches, she’s now a scheming 50-something mother, rich in the tedium of suburban family life. In the brilliant opening 50th birthday party scene, a literal and metaphorical gun is fired. Frances (SJP) tells her beleaguered blue-collar husband Robert (Thomas Haden Church) that she wants to leave him. Robert is a devotedly superb cross-pollination of (Parks And Recreation’s) Ron Swanson and Andy Dwyer. A cleverly deployed plot twist means Frances may be regretting her bold marital manoeuvre by the episode’s end. First in Pulling, then Catastrophe, now with Divorce, show creator Sharon Horgan has…

Head shot: Anna Huix. Hair and make-up: Sophie Higginson “IMAGINE A DATING LIFE WHERE THERE’S NO GENDER-STRUGGLE OVER WHO PAYS OR WHO TEXTS FIRST” I WATCH GIRL-ON-GIRL PORN. It’s just, well, in lesbian porn women tend to experience actual pleasure. Straight porn is shades of violence, depicting sex as something a woman has done to her. It’s passive. She may as well be a blow-up doll, or a sock, which is fine if that’s what you’re into. But for me, women together are sensual and engaged. Thoughtful, but still filthy. Everyone gets off, and that gets me off. I’m weirdly specific about who I watch, too. Straight porn sees a lot of young-looking girls with flat chests, and dead eyes, and I want to see somebody who looks like me…

Photos: Tina Luther/mondadoriphoto LIBRA 24 Sept – 23 Oct Having kept quite a lot of sensitive information to yourself, you’ll start wondering whether you’d be better to confide in one or two people you trust. Certainly Mercury’s tie-up with Jupiter suggests you’ll be shown sympathy and support by people who are keen for you to know they’re on your side. Even so, there are still some details that you’d be wise to keep to yourself. Break the habit of sometimes saying rather too much. SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov Instead of appearing intrusive, you’ve stood back and let friends or workmates manage their own affairs. This week, however, it will dawn on you that your support could be invaluable to those concerned. You simply have…

KEEPING YOUR COOL I found myself nodding along to Emma Straub’s feature, ‘Hey, who stole my cool?’ (10 October). At 34, my life is a hamster wheel of working endless hours teaching, tutoring on the side (to save to buy a home), staying in and cutting back on shopping and the cultural outings I love. All of which has made me feel terrifyingly uncool. While my friends go to gigs, I’ll be tutoring a Turkish man in English. I started to doubt if I was making the right decision. But after reading Emma’s account, I realised that people don’t stop being cool, their definition of cool evolves. Whereas I used to find partying until dawn and ambling home at sunrise uber-cool, I now think helping someone learn a new language…

Incoherent, frenzied, absurd and, in some cases, bat-crazy-cuckoo. Here you are, flicking through Grazia, suddenly bombarded with all these catwalk images, probably thinking something along the lines of, ‘I wouldn’t be seen dead in… a) frosted pink Spandex leggings with inbuilt stilettos (Balenciaga), b) a floral rubber swimming cap (Miu Miu), c) a jacket with break-the-glass-ceiling shoulder pads (Louis Vuitton) or d) a crystal-encrusted scuba-diving suit (Maison Margiela).’ You’re thinking, ‘What’s any of this got to do with me?

WINTER BLUES? Yep, us too. Luckily, we’ve got a sure-fire cure: a new season re-style, courtesy of British accessible luxury brand L.K.Bennett. For A/W ’16, we’re favouring a gorgeously moody colour palette – pops of utraviolet blue and burgundy pack a punch while perfectly complementing your winter staple shades of navy, black and grey. Pair cherry patent loafers with tailored trousers or jeans, and layer a claret crossbody over a military blazer for an instant lift. These are looks that work for the office, the pub, a dinner party… they truly are wear-everywhere pieces. Looking to make a statement? Try floral-printed ankle boots with a longline dress, or amp-up eveningwear with a metallic clutch. For seriously bold impact, this season’s It-buy boots are over-the-knee and embroidered with colour-pop flowers. And…

THIS YEAR HAS already gone down as one of the most turbulent in Hollywood divorce history, led by shockingly acrimonious splits between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Now, Grazia understands yet another A-list divorce could be on the horizon. Sources report that cracks are beginning to show for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, who are said to be living increasingly separate lives, four years after they married. ‘Justin and Jessica have been having some issues,’ an insider told Grazia. ‘They love each other very much, but there are some problems that they’re having to work through. ‘Justin misses his days as a young pop star, whereas Jessica is more of a homebody. He really wants to go on another world tour with his next…

Photos: Splash, Rex LAST WEEK, IT WAS reported that Kate Moss had finalised her divorce from Jamie Hince in an out-of-court settlement, after 18 months apart. Now, Grazia has learned that the deal was sparked by Kate’s concern over how her ex Johnny Depp’s split from Amber Heard played out. When a series of damaging stories and leaked videos of Johnny hit the news, Kate is believed to have instructed her solicitors to ‘sort things out calmly and quietly’. An associate of the model confirmed, ‘Kate watched the whole thing with Johnny unfold in the press. She’d hate it if intimate details of her private life ended up being picked over if things weren’t kept amicable. Friends advised her that this is how many A-list divorce lawyers play it these…

11,000 MIGRANTS RESCUED IN TWO DAYS Coastguards saved 11,000 migrants off the Libyan coast in the space of 48 hours last week – one of the largest rescues at sea in Europe this year.

THE PM GAVE US A BODY LANGUAGE LESSON Theresa May taught us all a thing or two about the latest trend in power posing at last week’s Tory party conference.

Super-sleeves were a street style MUST at Paris Fashion Week, and top marks for the accessories.

HANNAH WILSON Grazia’s designer I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of this novel; a mixture of 24 hours in the present combined with flashbacks explaining the backstory to protagonist Eleanor’s life. The fact that the whole novel took place over the course of one day was unique to me, and made for a very interesting read. Written with a great deal of humour, there were also sudden and unexpected emotional passages that were touching to read. ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’s junior feature writer Eleanor opens with the mantra ‘today will be different, today I will radiate calm, today there will be an ease about me’, which tells us right off the bat exactly what ‘today’ will NOT be. Instead, ‘today’ feels like something out of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off – a series…

TAYLOR SWIFT ‘When I write for someone else, I assume their personality. My first question is always, “What are you listening to?” Taylor is so smart and savvy, so you have to keep pace. When we wrote Welcome To New York, she was listening to a lot of stuff from the ’80s and she wanted that sound. I brought a 1984 keyboard and started playing the opening chords. She was just like, “That’s it!” It was simple.’ Photos: Rachel Kaplan, PA, Getty Images BEYONCÉ ‘Beyoncé has passed on more hits than you can imagine and no melody or famous producer means a thing to her. She is all about the lyrics: it has to be honest and raw. Halo was written in a few hours, but I wrote XO imagining…

WORLDS COLLIDE YouTube stars are greeted with scepticism by TV channels – after all, they may herald the destruction of the network model. So the televisualisation of Miranda Sings star Colleen Ballinger in family sitcom Haters Back Off feels brave and new. Colleen’s an undoubted star, so ifTV can complement the raw emerging internet talent, we may get a win-win stalemate. From Friday, Netflix HOSPITAL HORROR Ryan Murphy’s hit rate – Glee, American Horror Story – felt like it hit a stumbling block with Scream Queens. The kitschy schlock-horror sees the return of Emma Roberts as mean girl extraordinaire Chanel Oberlin. It’s not exactly a reboot, but the punch-packing nature of Murphy’s work is back on fire. This could be his sleeper hit. Starts Thursday, 9pm, E4 LOST AND FOUND…

TALENT-SPOTTING Reading New Order (3 October) – about the Next Big Things in music, acting and modelling – I was disappointed to see that three out of four of the young women featured have celebrity parents. People from poorer backgrounds are already struggling to succeed in creative industries. No chance of unpaid internships without a wealthy family to support them; no interest in them simply because of their parents’ name and contacts. It would have been more interesting to see some talent from less privileged backgrounds. Audrey THE REAL DEAL Just to say I love Laura Jane Williams column. She’s direct, a little crude and so bloody honest I laughed out loud mid-Pepsi-sip. Refreshingly honest and vulnerable, she reminds me that my mistakes give me character! Ashlee TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP…
