Life at Grazia is FAST – week in week out we work to bring you the latest fashion, beauty and lifestyle trends first. We even coin the terms you need to talk about them! (Do you speak smasual?, p96). So it feels weird that, twice a year, we head out to the fashion shows to look at clothes that you won’t get to shop for another six months. This year, however, there’s a revolution afoot. From September, some of the biggest brands will host catwalk shows you’ll literally be able to shop live (see p54). Which, frankly, we think is fantastic! But before we look too far ahead, we can finally bring you the amazing clothes for this new season. From our brilliant fashion shoot (p146) to which icon to…

DENIM DESTRUCTION OK, yeh, ripped jeans. The more they looked as if they'd been attacked by a machete, the better. It's all about the ‘I'm so cool I don't care' look. LAYERING RULES There are none. The art of four-strata layering is this: 1) choose four wildly different fabrics. 2) Make sure only one is hefty. 3) Cinch jumper as a belt. 4) Add one colour. BAG DU JOUR Which will it be? The pochette or the backpack? Hmm. It's a tough call. One says, ‘I'm chauffeur-driven,' while the other says, ‘I'm taking the subway.' SOCK AGE Socks. Yes. A necessity, you say because, duh, it's freakin' freezing! But please admire how they are wrinkled just so. And co-ord with their shoes. SUPERCOATS Coats have grown several inches because, well,…

Sometimes, a social-media phenomenon comes along that makes a brilliant political and, in this case, feminist point with spot-on observation. Man Who Has It All has been amassing a cult following on Facebook and Twitter by pushing those ‘busy working mum’ clichés on to men. With our tongue very firmly in our cheek, we bring you his exclusive first interview… What do you think is the single most challenging thing facing working fathers today? Guilt. We feel guilty if we go to work and we feel guilty if we stay at home. I try to tell dads to stop beating themselves up when they don't achieve the impossible standards they set for themselves. It's absolutely OK to buy the odd jar of baby food or go a couple of days…

Photos: Rex Features, Landmark Media, Splash News, Capital Pictures HAVE YOU SPOTTED IT? Yes, it’s uncanny. In the last few months we’ve noticed that fashion’s newest star has been wielding a surprising influence, causing an explosion of Gigi-inspired looks. With their slicked-back hair and made-up faces, these US stars – who we’re christening the ‘Gigi-bots’ – are giving us a strange sense of déjà vu. Who’s next to join their ranks? Watch this space!…

Photos: Splash, Rex, INF, Eroteme While perusing a batch of freshly snapped paparazzi shots showing assorted celebrities in various clothing combinations (NB I literally have to do this for my job), I noticed something. Part trend, part recurring visual motif, part shock and awe tactic – definitely nothing I’d seen in such prevalence before. I speak of celebrity lady crotches, many of which, though technically hidden from human sight by clothing, were nonetheless kinda extremely visible, on account of their being... outlined. Thrown into sharp relief. Fabric adhered to assorted famous undercarriages like latex to a plastic surgeon’s hands! It clung like a groupie to Bieber; like... like... me, to my iPhone! To the entre-jambes of the red-carpet bound starlet, in her satin jumpsuit. To the in-between of the post-Pilates…

OUR PANEL JANE TAYLOR-HAYHURST Grazia’s acting senior fashion editor has been styling A-listers for longer than she cares to remember, so she knows a thing or two about the tricks of the red-carpet trade. @MissJTH JIM SHELLEY Grazia’s resident bloke writes about television, film and Man United. What he doesn’t know about chiffon is not worth knowing – literally. @jimshelley17 ADELE JANE SAYS: ‘I’m loving Adele’s new edgier red-carpet look. Out goes the ’do and in comes low-key hair , vampy sequin Givenchy fabulousness and gothic nails.’ JIM SAYS: ‘You can see the appeal of this sparkler but it is rather funereal. “Would it kill you to wear some colour?” you can hear mums across the land crying.’ YOU SAY: ‘I can’t take my eyes off Adele’s cinched waist!

Lancôme are the official co-host of the BAFTA Nominees' Party COMING UP ROSES WHO Cate Blanchett, Dakota Johnson, Penélope Cruz, Eddie Redmayne, Mark Ruffalo, Emilia Clarke, Lily Donaldson, Benicio Del Toro WHAT BAFTA Lancôme Official Nominees’ Party and VIP Dinner WHERE Kensington Palace On BAFTA’s (and Valentine’s) Eve, Kensington Palace was given a Valentine-over for the Lancôme Official Nominees’ Party. The palace was decorated with 1,000 red roses, complete with a Kanye-esque rose wall and five huge trees with hanging red roses. It was a Hollywood love-in as Cate Blanchett and Penélope Cruz had a big bear hug under one of the rose trees, and Dakota Johnson spent the evening chatting with Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah. Forty guests stayed on for dinner in The Queen’s…

SCARLET FEVER Want to get noticed in a hurry? Be it a top-to-toe tomato suit or scarlet sneakers to complete your laid-back look, red is your go-to statement shade. RAISE THE BAR Statement gold earrings are where the jewellery trend is at right now, so treat your lobes to some abstract bling. Big hoops or graphic styles will put you at the fashion forefront. IN THE PINK When it comes to pink, think chic tailoring and envy-inducing accessories. Make like our street style stars and invest in a fab handbag. GEOMETRY LESSON For prints, the rule is go big or go home. Pair mega-stripes with structured sunnies or accessorise with a quirky handbag or scarf. REVERSE LAYERING Rule 1: it’s not about warmth. We’re doing it all back to front…

OK, so it isn’t exactly balmy yet, but warmer weather is right around the corner (we’re convinced), and if you’re brave enough to bare yours now, there’s nothing sexier than a thick, woolly knit paired with a flash of gleaming, tanned shin. Don’t panic if your winter maintenance routine has been – ahem – less than rigorous; the new crop of pin-perfectors do all the ‘legwork’ for you. So park the opaques, polish up your stems and start planning…

GET THE JUICE Faster, faster is the modern mantra. But sometimes it’s good to slow down. Enter the Retro Cold Press Juicer, £299.99 – the blades rotate more slowly than most juicers, creating less heat friction and retaining more nutri goodness. Hurrah! And to pimp your morning juice? Kiki Health’s supplements are just the job. Our fave is Living Superfood blend, £29.99. Part Flashdance , part ballet chic, the leotard has grabbed our attention. These three look sleek, streamlined and a bit ’80s. In a good way. We're convinced that we could execute perfectly straight headstands if we were rocking Lucas Hugh’s Spark Long Sleeve Bodysuit, £165. Oh, how we adore multitasking activewear! Rivia Sports’ Tropical Body, £75, works just as well for going out as working out.…

FOOD TREND SHAKE IT! Forget two scoops and a splash of milk, milkshakes in Manhattan have been luxed up to dangerous new levels. At Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, for example, they have given the humble shake a major makeover – feast on these foot-tall beasts with cookies clinging to the sides and sauces oozing all over. Can’t wait for these shakes to make it over here. @blacktapnyc HAPPINESS IS... A SLICE OF TURKEY I know that most of you had your fill of turkey over Christmas, but there is more to this bird than a once-a-year-tradition. Turkey is an incredibly lean, healthy meat and it contains tryptophan that helps the body create serotonin – which makes you happy! Try stir-frying lean turkey breasts with spinach and walnuts for…

1 THE REVENANT Who knew that this true story of a fur trapper's survival in 1820s frontier America would turn into such a blockbuster hit? Come for the (incredibly realistic) bear savaging; stay for Leo's BAFTAwinning intensity and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's visual poetry. 2 THE BIG SHORT This adaptation of Michael Lewis's nonfiction book turns a tricky topic (the 2008 financial crisis) into a wildly entertaining tragi-comedy with star power. 3 SPOTLIGHT Celebrating the power of good old-fashioned investigative journalism is Tom McCarthy's gripping account of Boston Globe reporters uncovering child abuse by priests. 4 ROOM BAFTA winner Brie Larson is Oscar favourite for her tough, tender turn as a woman held in captivity for seven years. Jacob Tremblay, as her five-year-old son, similarly captivates in this life-affirming version of…

WE KNOW WHAT you’re thinking... that Ryvita is a cardboard-esque snack you have to eat with cottage cheese as part of a strict – and dull – diet? Wrong! Ryvita Crispbreads have a crunchy texture and come in 12 delicious flavours that can be enjoyed with a variety of mouth-watering toppings. Their versatility means you can incorporate them into your daily, healthy-eating plan without feeling like you’re missing out on the indulgent good stuff. Crispbreads are made with rye, which provides iron and magnesium and rich in zinc – essential for healthy bones, hair, nails and skin. Ryvita Crispbreads are perfect for busy lives, too. Want a quick, tasty lunch? Top your Ryvita Crispbread with tomato, cucumber and avocado. Bored of cheese sandwiches? Pop some mozzarella, Parma ham and avocado…

The formidable fashion force that is Karl Lagerfeld has struck again. The ‘Karl Robot’ capsule collection has landed and it looks set to be a major hit. With Kendall, Gigi and Hailey already sporting the Karl-bot embossed bags, it’s only a matter of time before the shoes, hats, key chains and, of course, fingerless gloves sell out. Get yours before they all go! Shopper, £245, Karl Lagerfeld (karl.com). VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE ARE are about to make the designer pieces you dither over a lot more accessible.

1. STRAIGHT TO THE POINT Shoes, £700, Dior(dior.com). Strapped at the ankle and with a pointy toe, these high-shine patent heels are my top standout shoe of the season. 2. SUITS YOU Blazer, £850,and trousers, £625, Bally(bally.co.uk). A mannish suit in baby pink? And how brilliantly it works. 3. THAT’S A WRAP Skirt, £129, Autograph at Marks & Spencer (marksandspencer.com). After last season’s sell-out suede midiskirt, comes this chic leather wrap skirt and in one of my new favourite colours, bottle green. 4. BACK TO THE FUTURE Bag, £1,525, Loewe (loewe.com). I love the loud and proud ’80s logo on this chic Loewe bag. It’s a brilliant mash-up of modern and retro. 5. MODERN PRAIRIE Top, £42, Warehouse (warehouse.co.uk).

WHO’STHE NEW LEXI? LINEISY? Damaris? The mad (insane?) scramble that is finding THE NEW FACE OF THE SEASON kicked off in earnest last week in New York with the autumn/ winter ’16 shows. For casting directors and designers, it’s all about finding the treasure nobody else has seen, keeping her under wraps by placing an ‘exclusive’ on her, and bestowing on her the honour of opening your show. Case in point: Katherine Moore, a fresh-faced blonde, is plucked from obscurity, her long hair is sliced off by the almighty hair god Guido Palau and then dyed a shade best described as ‘synthetic red’. She opens the Alexander Wang show. A star is born. But she’s not the only super-in-waiting... VICTORIA BECKHAM 1 DILONE Starred at Victoria Beckham in one of…

Photos: Demotix/Corbis I’M A FREE-SPEECH ABSOLUTIST. There can be no ifs or buts to freedom of speech, no exceptions to the rule. Everyone should be free to think what they want and say what they think – yes, that includes ideas I find difficult and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, this isn’t a view shared by today’s student leaders. Over the past five years, censorship on campus has exploded. The National Union of Students has banned ‘offensive’ speech, prohibited ‘controversial’ speakers, and outlawed allegedly sexist pop songs in student bars. Student politicos have created ‘safe spaces’ to protect students – especially female and minority students – from offensive ideas and behaviour. How patronising. Yes, words are powerful. They’re exciting, too. A great line can make you laugh, a great verse can make you…

Shopping: Polly Knight Photos: Camera Press, OIC, Splash SMASUAL . It’s a thing. Why? Because Victoria Beckham just rubber-stamped the look at the end of her runway – on her! As in wearing it on her own body! Smasual has been VB-blessed – and BAM! – just like that, it has been approved for general consumption. It’s not exactly her thing, it doesn’t belong to her, she didn’t invent it. We all know Phoebe Philo did that. (Phoebe has always ‘smasualed’ when she takes her bow). But here’s the thing – a big funnel-neck sweater, a sharp pair of tailored trousers and the plainest Stan Smiths are now VB-approved and thus the talking-point uniform of choice. Now, here’s the twist: THE PIECES YOU SEE HERE ARE MOSTLY MENSWEAR. Because that’s…

TOPSHOP UNIQUE Spring/summer has landed, I rather want it all. MEHRY MU’S ASTRO CLUTCH Who doesn’t need a velvet pochette? FINERY’S ELMWORTH BOOT Sixties-style square toe, block heel and blue croc finish, tho. SINGLE DENIM JACKET Everyone’s doing the double bomber jacket now (black over olive is the correct order, FYI).

Is it just me or was Hugh Laurie channelling his best Tony Blair as dastardly arms dealer Richard Roper, the so-called ‘worst man in the world’, in the opening episode of the BBC’s spendy espionage thriller, The Night Manager? To add a frivolous pantomime angle to a character he’s chewing to pieces with each malevolent glare, in this weekend’s opening scenes, sweeping through the cruel capitalism of his Mallorca estate, he slips in a touch of Simon Cowell at Judges’ Houses to his actor’s armoury. Laurie is a brilliant villain, playing Roper as dumb as he is scary. This ambitious John Le Carré adaptation makes working hard to follow a plot worthwhile as it skips between Cairo, the Swiss Alps, London, Devon and Spain. This week, suave hotelier Jonathan Pine…

THEY’RE SUCH AN UNLIKELY pairing that even he’s admitted it’s a ‘bizarre match-up’. But it appears as if Kate Hudson and Nick Jonas’s relationship is going from strength to strength. In fact, the pair – who have been on/off for the last six months – have finally conceded that they are officially ‘a thing’, with the actress last week calling her new boyfriend ‘a sweetheart’. To recap: Kate, 36, who was formerly engaged to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy, and Nick, 23, of Jonas Brothers fame, were first seen together in September at Disney World. Dates in Miami followed. However, by November it was reported that things had cooled, as Nick was due to go on tour. Indeed, he appeared to confirm the split when he said in an interview earlier…

The reason? Last week Lily, who Grazia recently revealed to have separated from her husband Sam Cooper, was spotted ‘chatting intimately’ to Kate’s own estranged husband Jamie Hince at Chateau Marmont in LA. According to one onlooker, ‘They were being very tactile and didn’t seem to mind that people were taking pictures.’ Insiders say this minor indiscretion is enough to have seen Lily, 30, cast out by Kate for good.…

PAUL McCARTNEY WASN’T ON THE GUEST LIST It’s a pretty awkward moment when one of the biggest musicians of all time gets turned away from a party being hosted by a relatively unknown rapper.

TIGHTLY COILED, springy, short and soft: it was in the middle of 2012 when I looked in the mirror and came face to face with my natural hair texture for the first time in my adult life. Since I was very small, I’d been having my hair relaxed. Every eight weeks or so, I would have the roots ironed out with a cream that chemically changed its texture to achieve a sleek, straight look. Relaxing was just a thing that people did to their hair, to make it manageable and easy to style – but the subtext was always that my natural hair texture was neither of those things. It was so normal that little relaxer kits, decorated with adorable kids with long, straight hair, were sold in black hair…

SITTING INTHE BACK of a Porsche 911 is nowhere near as glamorous as it sounds. I’m en route to a friend’s wedding, squashed between a three-piece suit hanging from the roof and three heavy holdalls, clinging on to the ceiling bar like I’m on some kind of middle-class safari. It’s as we’re screeching down yet another winding country lane that the couple up front (friends of the bride who’d offered me a lift) ask why I wasn’t at the hen party. ‘Family engagement,’ I mutter, turning redder than the stop sign we’d just sped through. The truth? I couldn’t afford it. Hence cramming myself into the Lotus position for three hours to get to the bloody nuptials. You see, this was my fifth wedding of the summer, and I’d already…

Films by Charles Gant. Photos: Allstar, Landmark CAROLYN ROBERTS Grazia’s creative director Pulitzer Prize-winning Strout sets her latest novel around a hospital bed. A surprise visit from Lucy’s estranged mother sparks a series of beautifully told conversations and stories about Lucy’s childhood. I found it poignant and intriguing but don’t expect all of the loose ends to be neatly tied up. CAROLINE BARRETT Grazia’s deputy editor The joy of this book is the simplicity of the writer’s delivery. Not much happens, and yet it’s a compelling read due to the complexities of the subjects discussed between an estranged mother and her daughter, Lucy. Relationships, marriage, childhood poverty, her father’s alcoholism and her mother’s physical abuse are all addressed from Lucy’s hospital bed over five days. Lucy’s voice commands the book…

MAN CALLED HORACE Horace And Pete is a new format for TV.

Yes, the Full Moon in your opposite sign of Virgo is encouraging you to go in for heartfelt discussions. However, you must be prepared for tears and even tantrums if you suddenly do a U-turn and act as though you’ve no intention of bringing intimacy into the situation. Perhaps you need a few home truths. ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr Steel yourself to tackle mundane duties. And keep telling yourself that, once they are out of the way, you’ll have a clear path towards something else that holds more appeal.
