One of the best things about working atGrazia is getting to bring you the newest and most exciting trends first. Be it the ‘rave bingo’ club night (yup! See page 58) that is about to revolutionise your social life – and your gran’s… Or the 15 hottest new fashion brands to be first in the queue for on page 66 (an apology on that one – they’re all so brilliant you may accidentally spend A LOT). And of course, the only trouser to be seen in this season on page 37 – stirrup strap essential. It’s bold, but we promise it’s a winner. This week, we also bring you the inside story on our cover star Cara Delevingne, on page 14. Last year, she spoke movingly and candidly about the…

For when Nazanin, 37, an aid worker at Thomson Reuters Foundation, tried to return home to the UK two weeks later, she was detained at the airport and accused of trying to overthrow Iran’s government. Gabriella was torn from her mother’s arms and put in the care of her grandparents in Tehran, while Nazanin was placed in solitary confinement for 45 days. In June, she was moved to a high-security prison, where she…

TURNS OUT, PEOPLE in their early twenties literally like to Netflix and chill. The closest they get to another person is a night in with Naked Attraction. According to a new study, Millennials between the ages of 20 and 24 are having lots less sex than their parents did – with 15% (twice as many as in the Swinging ’60s) having had no sexual partners since turning 18. As promiscuity taboos dwindle, dating apps, casual relationships and one-night stands are supposed to enrich sex – not turn us off. So why have things suddenly changed? Here, young writers give us their theories… ‘WE CAN’T AFFORD TO BE SINGLE AND MINGLE,’ SAYS JOURNALIST BERTIE BRANDES, 26 I think you can link a decline in sex to a decline in wages and…

We’ve all marvelled at 3D printers in the fashion and manufacturing worlds, but we had no idea what to expect when we heard a seat had come up at the table of the world’s first 3D restaurant. Fast-forward a few hours, and I’m at Food Ink in East London (of course), sitting down (on a printed chair) to a nine-course meal that has been sent from a computer to a printer via a digital file. And the ink used? Fish, potatoes, avocado and chocolate. This is straight-up science fiction food – only real. I watch in disbelief as puréed fish and chip ingredients are squashed into a syringe and set to print. Any design can be programmed to come out of the printer (rather like a piping bag) and everything…

POLICE PROVE ‘HONOUR KILLING’ VICTIM WAS MURDERED A police inquiry in Pakistan has confirmed that a beauty therapist from Bradford, whose husband claims she was the victim of an ‘honour killing’, was strangled to death. Samia Shahid, 28, died last month in northern Punjab on a trip to see her relatives. Her family initially claimed she’d lost her life due to natural causes, but her father, ex-husband and cousin have been arrested. BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH FUELS DRINK PROBLEMS If you spend Saturday mornings at a bottomless brunch with friends, you could be risking your health. Experts warn that the boozy trend, where unlimited prosecco and Bloody Marys are served with your meal, encourages binge-drinking and drink-driving. MEN IN HIJABS MAKE A STAND In Iran, men are snapping selfies in headscarves and…

1. BABY SKIN Ballerina/facialist Su-Man has drummed up quite the A-list following through her mix of Asian and Western influences, resulting in her own product line. Her Facial Glow Rejuvenating Mask, £42 for four, penetrates skin with brown algae, leaving it poreless and flawless. selfridges.com 2. KATE’S CHOICE In the market for Mossy’s effortless ‘London Look’? Scoop Rimmel London Super Gel Kate 15 Year Collection in Rock N Sparkle, £5.99, for its high-octane, plummy shine.

Photo: David Marquez BLACK MAGIC It’s hard to believe it’s already 10 years since Tom Ford seduced us with his gloriously heady Black Orchid Eau de Parfum (not to mention its art-deco inspired bottle, which is still perfect bathroom #shelfie material). Now it’s time to pay homage with The Tom Ford Orchid Collection, an eight-piece extravaganza with a vintage twist, which includes a solid perfume, lip colour, highlighting powder, and the undeniably fabulous black crystal Black Orchid Perfume Lalique Edition (FYI: there are only 60 in the UK). ‘I’m not seduced by the “new” or the “now”,’ Mr Ford tells us. ‘I’m seduced by style, luxury, timelessness and glamour – qualities that are hard to find in our disposable society. I like weighty compacts and architectural bottles, superior craftsmanship and…

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH GOOSEBERRY JAM Serves: 4 Prep and cooking time: 35 minutes 4 good-quality, thick-cut pork chops Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the gooseberry jam : 500g fresh gooseberries, hulled 200g sugar A splash of elderflower cordial 1 star anise 1 cinnamon stick Half a red chilli, seeds removed Half a glass of white wine 1 To make the jam, place those ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil for 2 minutes, before straining and removing the star anise, cinnamon stick and half a chilli, reserving the gooseberries. 2 In a clean pan, reduce the remaining liquid by two-thirds until thick and syrupy, before adding the strained gooseberries and allowing to cool completely. Refrigerate in a clean container. 3 To cook your…

Photos: Capital EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features & special projects editor The tone of this book is pure Austen, but I struggled with the verbosity in a contemporary setting, even explained away by our heroine’s romantic literature obsession. But this mix of high romance and arch femininity is addictive, despite the frisson between the hot profile-writer and her unfeasibly hot, slightly controlling billionaire subject ringing some bells… MELISSA HENRY Grazia’s PA editorial assistant I was intrigued by the notion of a powerful female journalist who lures men into revealing their secrets, but then surprises herself by falling in love with one of them. But the author took away any real potential with descriptions that made me wince – too many long, luscious eyelashes fluttering for me. In saying that, I read…

ROLE THE DICE Comedian Andrew Dice Clay was the Louis CK of his day. In Dice, he’s followed Louis’ lead by making a semi-fictional version of his comeback, a bereft travelogue around Vegas suburbia that incorporates some of his still illuminating stand-up. As a story of middle-aged angst, it may feel familiar. As a breakdown of Las Vegas, it is immense. Tuesday, 10.10pm, Sky Atlantic COVER STARS The parent trap of what to watch with offspring answered by Pixar’s smart animations for kids and their folks is now popping up on streaming channels. At the head of it is Josh Wakely, whose animated series Beat Bugs features modern covers of Beatles songs. Sia, The Shins and Regina Spektor provide a soundtrack that’s just as charming as Finding Nemo. Please do…

FREEDOM OF CHOICE Hallelujah! It’s the end of poor Jen (25 July) raised a very important issue: choice and the fact that everyone should have it without fear of judgement. As a single, childless woman in my mid-forties, I have had my fair share of judgement. I have been told I am self-centered and selfish for not wanting children, that I should remain single as my choices would not be fair to any partner, and I was once told I must be ‘barren’. All these comments came from other women. I have no children as it just happened that way, but it does not make me any less of a person who can contribute to society or family life. I don’t have to discuss my reasons at all – they…

1. COLLAB TO BUY NOW Pyjama shirt, £198, and bottoms, £198, Drake’s x J Crew (jcrew.com). These silk PJs are the result of a killer collaboration between J Crew and the discerning gentleman’s outfitters Drake’s, for whom this foray into womenswear is a first. Pair with stilettos and XXL earrings. 2 HIGH STREET SMASH Shoes, £69.99, Mango (shop.mango.com). Yes. Yes. Yes.

Photos: Splash News, Rex Features, Landmark Media, Wire Image WE’RE MOST USED TO seeing Cara in the off-duty model uniform of skinny jeans, biker jacket, beanie and trainers – which makes her latest string of red-carpet appearances all the more striking. She’s enlisted the help of styling duo RandM (that’s Rob Zangardi and the aforementioned Mariel Haenn), who are also behind J-Lo and Gwen Stefani’s looks. The pair dressed Cara for her Paper To w n s press tour, but you wouldn’t know it – the two wardrobes are poles apart. It may only have been last year, but 23-year-old Cara looked more like a teenager in gingham co-ords and minidresses. This time around, lashings of black and Christian Louboutin over-the-knee boots (worn with everything) make for a more grown-up…

Photos: Xposure, Instagram.com/@wheresmossy, Instagram.com/@therealcjowen NO ONE PANIC, BUT KATE MOSS has infiltrated high society. Last week, the 42-year-old super flew to Greece to join Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, on holiday as the unlikely pair have apparently become firm friends. Kate and Fergie – the former wife of Prince Andrew – were pictured on-board a super-yacht, along with Kate’s boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck and Hong Kong businessman Sir David Tang. Observers were quick to point out the common thread of public scandal uniting Kate and Fergie as a basis for their friendship. In 2005, photos surfaced of Kate snorting what appeared to be cocaine, while in 2010 Fergie was filmed attempting to sell introductions to Prince Andrew for £500,000. Now, in further proof that Kate has migrated to the…

CLASSIC ELEGANT SPORTY Photos: Shutterstock, Jason Lloyd-Evans, Catwalking.com, PA THIS SEASON’S 1980s RESURGENCE is something we at Grazia are celebrating wholeheartedly. Puffball skirts at Moschino, shoulder pads at Vetements and Saint Laurent’s teeny-tiny bodycon dresses with bouffant sleeves are enough to make us want to indulge in a full-blown Dynasty marathon. Of course the era wasn’t without its, erm, quirks. Oversized bows scooping up perma-perms and fishnet gloves were some of the decade’s more divisive trends. But what of the stirrup pant? About as basic during the ’80s as a boyfriend jean is now (that’s basic as in wardrobe staple, not Mossy-does-EasyJet-bayy-sick), stirrup pants were a positive must-have. And guess what? They’re back. Enter A/W ’16, specifically catwalk contributors Versace, Balenciaga and Marni. The trophy trouser was sported at each…

Photos: Getty Images What shape is your ambition? I’d never thought about mine in shape terms, until last week, when Kevin Roberts, chairman of advertising group Saatchi and Saatchi, resigned, after a row which began when he said of women: ‘their ambition is not vertical, it’s this circular ambition, to be happy…’ A lot of people considered this a blatantly sexist utterance, which I agree it is ; when one man makes a sweeping statement about All Women, what can it be but sexist? Roberts’ comments tacitly promote the idea all women basically want babies, that those babies derail our careers, but that’s OK, as they fulfil us in a way work never could – and that no man ever allowed family to come between him and his ascent to…

1. Tell someone: your manager or, if it’s your manager who’s harassing you, tell a more senior staff member. 2.

IT’S 6PM ON A THURSDAY IN Liverpool and a large queue is forming outside an industrial-looking building. At a glance, you’d think a world-famous DJ was booked to perform but, on closer inspection, the mix of people will confuse the bejesus out of you. There are groups of hen dos sheltering their fake tans under umbrellas, middle-aged men in Slipknot T-shirts, sensibly dressed professionals on work nights out and three generations of some families. And they’ve all arrived two hours early to ensure front-row seats at the biggest party around: Bongo’s Bingo. Nope, it’s not UKIP shorthand for a small African country but the hottest night out sweeping the nation. The event has been selling out concert halls faster than you can shout ‘two fat ladies’ and I’ve come to…

Sophie Goddard Photos:Getty ‘EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW about the cake, not the recipe,’ says Oscar-winning costume and production designer Catherine Martin, of the origins of The Get Down, Netflix’s searing hot new binge watch about the burgeoning hip-hop scene in ’70s New York. It’s created by her husband, director Baz Luhrmann, who naturally became obsessed not with the cake, but the recipe, for the most successful genre of music of our time, giving it that injection of Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge magic along the way. Because when you think of mid-’70s New York, you think glamorous clubs and dance competitions: basically Saturday Night Fever. But as the disco scene fizzled out, a new street-led movement was bubbling up amid the graffitied block parties and burning buildings of the…

1. NEW IN THE BLUE FOX As we’re probably going to start referring to Ryan Lochte, US Olympian, dreamboat, man who dyed his hair ice blue for Rio. 2. UP MIRIAM GONZALEZ DURANTEZ Lawyer, author of new cookbook Made In Spain, married to some bloke; said she rarely gets wolf-whistled, which seems unlikely because of perfectly obvious hotness. 3. UP JILLY COOPER Who we have loved for decades on account of her smile and her creating the ultimate fancyman in Rupert Campbell-Black. Just revealed her next book, Tackle, will be about football. 4. NEW IN DRUNK STEVE An Australian who replied to the note thoughtfully left by his non-drunk counterpart, Sober Steve, in excellent style. His flatmate sent it viral last week. 5. NEW IN FRANK OCEAN Teasing us with…

Photos: Rex Features, Getty Images, Alpha Press, INFphoto.com, Catwalking.com WHEN HILLARY CLINTON took to the stage to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for President, she did so in a Ralph Lauren trouser suit – in bright white. A daring choice, but she’s in good company: just a few days later, Michelle Obama hosted a state dinner in a strapless white dress by New York designer Brandon Maxwell, and Kate Middleton, Margaret Thatcher, Jackie O and Princess Diana have all tapped into the power of wearing white in the public eye. It’s a political manifesto that signals new beginnings, optimism, purity and peace. Wearing white can work as a ‘palette’ cleanser for your style, too. We’ll admit, top-to-toe white isn’t the most practical of trends. Grass, make-up, coffee and grubby train…

Photos: FameFlynet, instagram.com/ mdollas11, Splash News, Spread Pictures, Xposure Photos YOUR AVERAGE TOURIST’S wardrobe is stocked with practical-but-not-so-chic staples. Think cagoules, I Love London tees, cargo pants, all-terrain trainers and backpacks worn as frontpacks. While we wouldn’t have expected RiRi to slip on a cagoule while globe-trotting on her Anti tour, she has swung right to the other end of the style spectrum with her to-die-for designer wardrobe. Indeed, why dress like a tourist when you can dress like a haute cou-tourist? A tram tour of Prague would make most travellers’ itineraries, but we imagine Rihanna’s the first to take it in a Balenciaga slogan shearling stole, Faustine Steinmetz tube dress, Dior shades and Vetements sock boots. Sightseeing on Paris’s equivalent of the London Eye is all well and good,…

OUR PANEL LAURA GRABINER Grazia’s junior fashion news and features writer does a near perfect Cheryl impression and adheres strictly to the rule: what Dolce says, goes. @laura_grabiner JOHN CRACE The Guardian’s Parliamentary sketchwriter, his party trick is whittling Alexa’s It book down to 600 words. Life changing. VICTORIA BECKHAM LAURA SAYS: Airports are VB’s runways. I’m into this matchstick-print pleated number (available to buy now, of course). As always, the woman is her own best advertisement. JOHN SAYS: Who would have guessed that the new London Underground seat livery could look so classy? Context is everything in fashion, though, and Victoria can do no wrong. YOU SAY: VB shows us how to do a transitional colour palette now. Love the flow and the pop of yellow lifts the charcoal,…

Why we loved it A monotone blend of deep bronze washed over the lids makes a simple yet effective statement next to luminous skin. Ways to wear it The key to making eyes pop is keeping the complexion natural and lightly sculpted. Pair with slicked-back hair, as done by mane man Guido, and all eyes will be kept on, well, the eyes.…

WE’VE LONG WISHED our crop tops exposed a toned tum, but find ourselves spending another summer with underachieving abs. Thankfully, there’s a new flash of flesh on the block, thanks to a bevy of beauties going out backless. Begging for an over-the-shoulder, snap-shot glance, take note of model-of-the-moment Frederikke Sofie (above) and her low-dipping dress, showcasing elegance and athleticism in equal measure. If the latter is lacking, ‘TRX inverted rows and standing Ts [Google can explain] are a great way to improve muscle definition,’ advises Lee Mullins of Workshop Gymnasium. ‘And to avoid unsightly “bacne”, steer clear of oil-based, pore-clogging products. Instead, opt for French pharmacy brands like Bioderma and La Roche-Posay,’ says dermatologist Sam Bunting. Then simply select a low-swooping frock and bring sexy – well – back.…

DRESSING FOR SUMMER IN THE CITY ISN’T ALWAYS EASY, but there’s a sharp new solution on the style block. For S/S ’16, graphic 1960s prints make for a stylish way to reinvent simple silhouettes. Retro monochrome checks equal an en pointe workwear update; wear an A-line shift dress with ballet pumps now, and layered over a black roll-neck (for a little touch of mod style) and knee-high boots come autumn. A red checked trouser suit looks the business worn together, or try the trousers with a crisp cotton button-up for low-key luxe. And a printed pinafore dress is the perfect crossover buy for work and play. Dress it up over a white shirt for the office and down over a simple tee at the weekend. This trend is part city…

We’re now far enough away from its birth and saturated enough in its influence to warrant several screen histories of hip-hop. After Empire and Straight Outta Compton comes The Get Down, set in The Bronx, 1977. This tale is the TV directorial debut of white Australian Baz Luhrmann, a surprising choice to story this culture. He weaves together two of his stylistic hits – the central love story is pure Romeo And Juliet, all extended party scenes summoning Strictly Ballroom – with fairy-tale gloss. Most scenes look like a David LaChapelle photo. He intercuts bits of documentary footage from ’70s New York, turning them into something fantastical and sentimental (only occasionally a bit corny). So much sugar can be disquieting in the context of ghettos burning down, gang warfare and…

USUALLY, WHEN I PACK my bag for an exotic trip, my approach is simple: pretty cotton dresses to wear when holding a sundowner, large vintage cat-eye shades for days on the beach, espadrilles that won’t get a debut in British summer weather. But on this trip, my priorities were not sartorial; instead, loose waistbands, comfortable footwear and stretchy fabrics were the order of the day. (I imagine it’s similar to the emergency bag that pregnant women pack for when labour pains kick in.) That’s because I was going on a pilgrimage to Taiwan – a gua bao pilgrimage to be precise – in search of those plump, smooth, cloud-like steamed buns filled with a rich, braised, meaty filling that’s finished with coriander and peanut dust. Originally a street food sensation,…

Christopher Ferguson/Mondadoriphoto LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug The fact that you often add a touch of magic to something simple should stand you in good stead. You’re up against a person or situation forcing you to stick to a pattern or way of working that doesn’t inspire you. A Venus-Saturn set-to will make you feel like challenging those who insist that everything is done by the book. Instead, dig deep and bring up flashes of inspiration that nobody can resist. VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sep Remain calm as people close to you over-react to suggestions that their freedom may be compromised in some way. They are almost certainly casualties of unfounded gossip or hearsay and it will be up to you to sustain a proper sense of perspective…

‘I CAN’T BE FRIENDS OR LOVE SOMEONE WHO HAS BAD TASTE IN MUSIC’ LIV TYLER, 39 We ask the actor to take an exclusive selfie – and reveal all Who is your best friend? Saree Schaefer. We met on a movie I was making in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She was hired to show me around as a favour to a friend, and she made me laugh more than anyone ever. She lights up the whole room with her smile and personality. She always encourages me to try harder and tells me the truth when I am not doing my best. What’s your biggest regret? No regrets. Many mistakes. I feel grateful for the lessons they teach me. Life would be so boring without them. What’s your biggest extravagance? Baby…
