Gigi Hadid is a surprising role model. Born into privilege, coming into the public eye via her mother’s starring role on reality show The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills and finding her own fame via her millions of followers on Instagram, she’s now not just one of the most in-demand models in the world (walking in almost every show in New York, London, Milan and Paris last season), but one with the guts to speak up for herself – eloquently, too. She’s faced down her trolls (who’ve pored over her ‘atypical’ model looks – she’s curvier than some, and?) and landed even more campaigns off the back of it. We explore how she’s become fashion’s unexpected new force on page 14. And while we’re on fashion, if you haven’t already…

Photos: Eroteme, FameFlynet, Rex Features, Xposure Photos THEIR ‘CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING’ has become the stuff of legend but, these days, Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's new partners would be excused for being more worried about an ‘unconscious coupling'. The A-list exes' separation has seen them become closer than ever, which is great for their children Apple and Moses, yet as far as their new loves Brad Falchuk and Annabelle Wallis are concerned, it raises questions. Why are there rumours that Gwyneth's spare room shows barely any sign of being used on the occasions Chris stays over for family events? And why during Thanksgiving last month, when both Chris and Gwyneth's significant others were supposed to be in attendance, did the pair end up sharing the day alone with their kids? Welcome…

WITH MORE CHRISTMAS DOs on than we can shake a glittery stick at, party dressing is the No1 priority at Grazia towers. Lucky for us (and our bank balances), statement accessories were all over the catwalks for A/W ’15, and have hit the high street, too – so one trusty LBD is all you need. From dance-all-night fancy flats and worth-the-pain haute heels to the best party bags on the block, we’ve got everything you need to elevate your eveningwear. The cherry on top? Vintage-inspired chandelier earrings (or de rigueur doorknockers). However you dress it up, make it a bobby-dazzler. HIGH SHINE Got sparkle fever? Hit the dance floor with party bags that glisten and gleam. JEWEL PURPOSE Shoes have gone heirloom – from ruby and emerald hues to crystal-encrusted…

Photos: Wenn, Press Association IF GETTING DRESSED in the morning is a struggle this time of year, then you’ll love this style curveball – pyjama dressing. Silky, slinky and just a bit risqué, sleepwear as outerwear is a trend we spotted on the A/W ’15 catwalks at Dries Van Noten and Lanvin, with printed silks and brocades getting us in the mood for bed, and now it’s hit the streets – and the high street, from J Crew’s oversized nightshirt to & Other Stories’ brilliant black two-piece. The key to wearing them? Heels, to lend a little grown-up polish to your PJs – Selena Gomez (left) paired her Derek Rose set with crimson stilettos and matching lippy, while Candela Novembre (right) went for strappy black sandals. If top-to-toe pyjamas make…

THE MOST ARROGANT NAMES ARE... Ever wondered why you look so good in everything you wear and people hang off your every word? Well, you would do, wouldn’t you, Christina? According to new research* , women named Christina and men called Jeff have the biggest egos in the UK. Yes Jeff, that’s right, you won, stop bragging now. THE KINDEST (HAIR) CUT When it comes to socially awkward moments, making banal small talk with your stylist while staring at yourself in the mirror is right up there. So now Cardiff ’s Bauhaus salons have introduced ‘quiet chairs’, for those who want to count their wrinkles in silence.

Hair and make-up: Sophie Hi gginson using Bumble & bumble and Laura Mercier ‘YOU BECOME VERY QUIET,’ says Jade Brady, 29, who was in an abusive relationship for eight years. ‘You want to fold in on yourself, disappear, so he can’t see you. Because if he can’t see you, maybe he won’t hurt you.’ Jade was subjected to (sometimes extreme) violence, but much of what she still suffers from, four years later, is the emotional control Nick* had over her. Repeatedly he told her she was worthless, that no one would want her. He tried to stop her going out, made her distance herself from family and her best friend. ‘The physical injuries have healed,’ says Jade. ‘But what he did to me psychologically – the anxiety I still suffer…

*Name has been changed Main photo (posed by models) : Trunk Archive I’M NO STRANGER to the benefits of a good old-fashioned fight. In the last week alone I’ve had a scream-fest in the street with my boyfriend, a ‘heated debate’ with a colleague and almost thrown a salad server at my sister’s head. I said almost. But when it comes to friends, the last fight I had was over who got to be Baby in our Year Six Spice Girls dance routine (not me, and it still burns). On social media, however, defriending or ‘muting’ someone who annoys you seems to be far preferable to having it out in person. A recent survey found that 40% of people have reduced their contact with a friend after a virtual falling…

ARE YOU READY TO PARTY YET? At Grazia , we’re certainly in the mood for our favourite time of year, and this is going to be our best Christmas yet, marked by a very special limited-edition Tia Maria gift tin (to celebrate our 10th anniversary, don’t you know!). We want you to have a fabulous time too, so we’ve asked some of the most influential and stylish women we know what makes a great night out, as well as getting their ultimate Tia Maria cocktail recipes. This week, we’re chatting to Jennie Rae Chuter, founder of Free Spirit Communications and a woman who knows what makes a party rock. ‘My main tip is don’t over-plan,’ says Jennie. ‘If you go with the flow then the night will fall into place…

ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’s junior writer When Addie Baum’s granddaughter asks her how she became the woman she is today, the reader is whisked back to 1915 and invited on a poor Jewish girl’s journey through life. Boston Girl affectionately navigates its way through Addie’s love affairs and jobs and paints a vivid portrait of an American woman of immigrant descent coming of age. The 85-year-old’s unfailingly precise memory is, perhaps, slightly unrealistic at times though. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s senior commissioning editor If you’ve never got round to asking a grandparent to tell you their life story, this is a great stand-in. As Addie takes us back to her humble East Coast beginnings, we get some confidence issues, love, guilt and ambition that we can all empathise with regardless of the…

Transparent is the story of Maura, born Mort Pfefferman, a Jewish father gender-transitioning as she turns 70. The debut season, showered with awards, was more than a conversation-starter. Lent raw star power by one of America’s best-loved comic faces – Jeffrey Tambor as Maura – and indie-movie credentials from show-runner Jill Soloway (formerly of Six Feet Under: it shows), it casually reframed the trans discussion from biology to psychology. This year has been a breakthrough for trans people, from Vanity Fair through the Kardashians, right up to EastEnders. Britain’s bombshell trans activist Paris Lees gets a seat on Question Time now. Eddie Redmayne has to argue his right to play early trans pioneer Lily Elbe. Transparent domesticates the story, sensationally dotting the ‘i’s and crossing the ‘t’s of becoming the…

SECRETS AND LIES I read Jessica’s* story (‘I’m trying to get pregnant behind my boyfriend’s back’, 30 November) with great sadness. I’m currently very pregnant with my second child and couldn’t even imagine having to go through labour without my partner, never mind everything that comes after. Having a baby is the most testing thing you can do as a couple – we never argued as much in our lives as in the first six months. Even the strongest relationships can flail. And we both wanted it. To think Jessica is tricking someone into something so life-changing is so sad. If you’re not mature enough to discuss having a child with the man you apparently love, you are certainly not ready to bring a life into this world. Angela I…

Photos: Getty, Rex, Xposure Who is your best friend? Jolene Henry. I grew up with her and now she's my creative director. We live in each other's shoes but we've never had an argument. What’s your biggest regret? I had a weird year when I was 21, and did some stupid things; drank a lot and treated my friends badly. It was a big year of learning. What’s your biggest extravagance? I tend to spend more on my friends and family than myself. I took my parents and sister away to Paris, which was really fun. When was the last time you were embarrassed? I get so embarrassed if people recognise me, or if I'm in a shop and one of my songs comes on. I go red really easily,…

THE TRUTH IS,THE WAR IN SYRIA didn’t start last week. Nor is it likely to finish soon. The US-led coalition has been bombing Daesh (better known as ISIS) there for over a year and the start of British air strikes in Syria simply ends the pretence that the border between Iraq and Syria has meant much since Daesh took over. The group’s command structure, weapons stores and sources of income are all predominantly based in Syria. It’s impossible to know exactly what will happen to the Syrian people now. But we know that many will die, no matter what our armed forces do. For almost two years, Daesh has continued to raise the bar there in terms of brutality. Last month, a mass grave was discovered, full of Yazidi women…

Photos: PA, Getty Images, Eroteme, Splash News IN CASE YOU NEED REMINDING, Kate Moss isn’t a woman who does things by halves. To wit, her romance with new boyfriend Nikolai von Bismarck may be in its infancy, but the couple are already inseparable – something that’s said to be causing tensions within Kate’s inner circle. Jefferson Hack, Kate’s ex and father of her daughter Lila Grace, 12, is thought to have had cross words with Kate over her plans to include Nikolai, 28, in her family Christmas. According to a source close to the model, ‘He may be worried that Kate is moving too fast and that it’s not appropriate to include Nikolai on Christmas Day when they’ve only recently begun dating.’ Apparently, things are complicated by the fact that…

Photos: Splash News MAKING YOUR WAY through the airport terminal was always the ultimate social leveller. You might be a monogrammed Louis-Vuitton-case-toting A-lister, but you're still going to be frisked more intimately than on your last Tinder date. Not any more. LAX airport has announced that, from next May, high-profile peeps will be able to board flights from their own VIP terminal to ‘avoid unwanted attention and media scrums'. For £1, 1100, the VIPs will be dropped off in private at the Los Angeles Suite, so they can sidestep the paps.Then, after a pit-stop in a plush lounge, it's apparently just a walk of around 60 steps to the plane, rather than the heinous 2,000 that plebs have to contend with. The fancy-pants terminal will be modelled on the Windsor…

Photos: Fabulous magazine News Syndication, All Star When I was 29, I knew I didn’t want kids. Actually, I first realised I didn’t want kids aged seven; by 29, I was merely 22 years more sure of it. Tech journalist Holly Brockwell is 29 and certain she doesn’t want kids either. She’s so sure, she’s tried to get sterilised – only she can’t find a doctor willing to perform the procedure. They all think she’s going to change her mind; yet if I’m anything to go by – she won’t. Not that I ever contemplated sterilisation. Partly because I avoid all medical procedures that don’t have obvious cosmetic benefits. Mostly because – even now, even as I persist, gratefully, with my chosen child-free life – it seems like an extreme…

Remind yourself why you’re friends ‘Identify what it is in the friendship that you want to hold on to, in spite of any difficulties,’ says Mark Vernon. ‘Keep your eye on this when the fights erupt, so there is a resilient connection to fall back on.’ Create boundaries ‘Before you start a discussion, be aware of things you don’t want to mention or areas you won’t overstep,’ he says. ‘Stick to this, no matter how angry you feel. That way, hard truths can be said without crossing the line.’ Don’t seek back-up ‘However tempting it is, keep this between the two of you,’ says Mark. ‘If someone feels ganged up on, rows can quickly escalate.’…

Photos: Xposure Photos, Rex Features, Instagram/Alex Feoli IN APRIL, SURI CRUISE will turn 10. But one person who is unlikely to help her celebrate turning double figures is her dad, Tom Cruise. Reports in the US claim that the actor has gone more than 800 days without seeing his daughter, which he has blamed on ‘hectic filming schedules’. However, sources close to Tom, 53, tell Grazia that the root cause of his estrangement from Suri is his devotion to Scientology. The controversial religion encourages members to distance themselves from ‘suppressive persons’ (nonbelievers), which includes Katie and, by extension, Suri. In a court deposition in 2013, Tom admitted that Katie, 36, no longer practised Scientology and that her desire to ‘protect’ Suri from the religion had motivated her to leave their…

Photos: Jenny Jimenez FOR ALL OF ITS many gifts - instant global communication, cupcakes delivered directly to your mouth, the ability to argue with Cher about nuclear disarmament - the internet has really found its calling as a vehicle for letting fat people know that you think they're disgusting. If you're a fat person with any public visibility, like me, especially if you don't ceaselessly self-flagellate by Instagramming yourself shovelling apology salad, your life online is almost certainly saturated with hatred. But this week, like a prehistoric cetacean returning to the sea, misogyny went analogue again. Several women reported being handed business cards on the Tube from a group calling itself Overweight Haters Ltd. ‘Our organisation hates and resents fat people,' the card reads. ‘We object to the enormous amount…

LAST WEEK we were obsessing over Jessica Jones's radical superhero redo, and now comic books are getting a grown-up, gritty makeover. With a new wave of graphic novels addressing sensitive subjects such as sexual harassment and violence against women, they're cutting to the heart of causes and giving unexpected takes on life that might be more expected from TV shows like Girls. Maria Stoian's Take It As A Compliment is a vivid graphic memoir bringing together 20 true stories about sexual abuse, both from interviews with friends and accounts submitted anonymously via her notacompliment.tumblr.com. ‘The fact that it is a graphic novel allowed me to tell the stories but keep them non-explicit, while making it accessible for the reader,' says Maria. ‘It's becoming more understood that graphic novels can help…

Photos: Scope Beauty/Nick Scott YOUR WEEKENDS ARE FILLED with weddings and baby showers, but you’re never the star of the show. Owning your own property seems as much of a fantasy as marrying Michael Fassbender – and actually, even if Fassy did pop the question, you’re not sure you could make that kind of commitment right now; you’re way too busy planning fun-filled weekends with your friends. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re probably a kidult: someone who’s celebrated more than enough birthdays to qualify as an adult, but sees no reason to grow up and behave like one. Marriage, kids and a mortgage sound like Important Things, and you’ll probably get around to them at some point. At the moment, though, you just feel too... young. Even though…
