We don’t mean to alarm you, but there are only 54 days left until Christmas… Before you get sidetracked (because, seriously, where HAS 2016 gone?), we’re here to remind you that you’ve got one last guilt-free payday to indulge yourself. What to buy? The fashion team give you the lowdown – from the hottest high-street drops to the cult new labels – on page 20. Plus, find out why this is the season to stock up on high-street leather on page 34 (Team Grazia is now accidentally hundreds of pounds poorer). And hurrah! Tights are officially cool again (see page 40). This issue, we also catch up exclusively with Courtney Love about the launch of her new fashion collaboration (page 26) – and she talks us through the iconic outfits…

COURTNEY LOVE: rock star, movie star and the woman whose unique look came to define the ’90s – so much so that Millennials everywhere are dressing like her. So it’s only fitting that her status as a fashion icon has been cemented with her own collection, a collaboration with Sophia Amoruso’s online emporium Nasty Gal based on her inimitable style. I’ve known Courtney for nearly a decade, seen inside her wardrobe and learned many fashion pearls of wisdom along the way (never mind the many unpublishable morsels of gossip). She’s the reason I wear red lipstick – and the occasional tiara. She’s been muse to Riccardo Tisci, Hedi Slimane and Marc Jacobs and, in case any doubt remains about the extent of her fashion obsession, Natalie Massenet recently told her…

Shopping: Polly Knight FOR GRAZIA’S FASHION TEAM, THE TREND-SPOTTING never stops, which is how a certain fashion editor managed to spend £400 on a recent Sunday evening (all in the name of research, of course). Now we all get to benefit. But her splurge wasn’t a Mulberry ‘It’ bag or a pair of Gucci loafers – it was on a Zara shopping spree. Their new Studio collection is fit to burst with heaps of brilliantly cool and buttery-soft leather. Sure, you can get a leather handbag on the high street, but a leather jumpsuit? That’s catwalk territory – with a three-bedroom-house price tag to match. But that all ends here. Never have we so badly wanted to zip ourselves into a pair of cropped leather dungarees…

We’ve reached peak hygge. 26,237 books on the Danish idea that the best way to survive winter is to go into a state of quasi-hibernation – not leaving your flat for days, swaddling yourself in formless loungewear, eating your way through the contents of your fridge rather than bothering with a déclassé, non-hygge foray to the shops, doing everything by soothing, non-eye-hurty candlelight, only interacting with the humans trapped in your hygge-themed hell-house alongside you, and being incredibly smug about it all, because hygge is Scandi, ergo chic – have been published in the days since the clocks went back, with a further 30,002 expected before the end of next week. Every second git you follow on the social networks has made some sort of reference to how hygge their…

 TIGERLILY TAYLOR IS THE LATEST MEMBER of rock’s aristocracy (her dad is Roger Taylor from Queen) to become the darling of the fashion world. Blonde, green-eyed and pillow-lipped, she is also on a mission to be taken very seriously indeed. ‘Do I think it’s a cliché to be the model daughter of a rock star?’ she says. ‘Abso-bloody-lutely. But I’m doing it my way – on my own terms.’ “Peaches was like a big sister. She was so smart and she could be so viciously funny, she was such a one-off. It was all horribly sad” The 23-year-old middle child of the Queen drummer and model Debbie Leng (whose scandalously sexy chocolate advert for Flake caused uproar in the late ’80s) is a far cry from the Insta-fame celebrity progeny…

NINE TO FIVE Here to suit (and boot) your daily needs – and not a basic pair in sight TAKE A HIKE Up and down the catwalk, of course (or to the pub – your choice) A HAPPY MEDIUM Behold, the not-so-average mid-calf boot. Say goodbye to chilly ankles VICTORIANA VICTORY Be they buttoned or laced, these ‘more is more’ boots bring period drama Assistant: Jessica Skeete-Cross GRAZIA’S fashion maths…

Photos: catwalking.com, Alpha Press, Alamy, goffphotos.com The Parisian label shows us how an ’80s party girl would do winter cool. Spoiler alert: it’s all about mismatching separates and indulging in a hefty injection of punk. Oh, to be French and effortlessly CHIC. Marant teaches us a valuable lesson in layering: do it. Multiple times. Starting with a sexy lace roll neck. The ankle boot rule this season? Strap as many buckles to your feet as is humanly possible. Here lies a perm that even Cher would envy. Frederikke Sofie never looked so good… but do you dare? A check coat is always a good idea. Go oversized, so if a situation presents itself where your mini verges on inappropriate, you have a safety net. If a safety-pinned cardie doesn’t appeal…

VEGAN-TASTIC! Shannon Martinez may not be vegan but she is a fantastic vegan cook. Along with Mo Wyse, the business brains of the partnership, she opened the restaurant Smith & Daughters in Melbourne and it was an immediate sensation. With a Spanish-influenced cuisine, her mission was to change the way people think about plant-based food. ‘There are still people who believe veganism is a trend – that all vegan food is uncreative, not filling and lacks flavour,’ says Mo. ‘We don’t.’ Shannon wanted to recreate the flavours of non-vegan dishes using plant-based ingredients. ‘Good food that happens to be vegan is our motto,’ says Mo. Two years on, the pair have released their first cookbook. Here’s a taste of what’s inside… Smith & Daughters: A Cookbook (That Just Happens To…

Photos: Allstar Of all the Queen’s chroniclers, it may yet be Peter Morgan whom history regards fondest in memoriam. First on film (The Queen), then stage (The Audience), he has lent the Windsors that which countless hagiographies at the BBC, Hello! magazine and a servile, subservient mass global media acting under their instruction cannot. Where they see air, he sees flesh. Morgan’s most ambitious royal intrusion yet, The Crown is a 10-part dramatisation of Elizabeth II’s early years on the throne. We trace the death of her father, George VI, touch on the Wallis Simpson saga, Churchill’s last hours, her marriage to Philip – including some colonial escapades that never stop shy of the worst you’ve heard about his oafishness at race relations – and the climate of a post-war…

1. A TABLE FOR 10 It takes a statement table to hold the double-height dining area and this one certainly does – it’s the Drapers Table by roseuniacke.com, the linear shape softened by classic Hans Wegner chairs from sigmarlondon.com. The forest photograph by Jack Burton (jackburton.eu) gives a feel of lush greenery. £ £4 40 000, houseology.com 2. LET’S GO RETRO Jo’s family room is sandwiched between the kitchen and dining room in the basement. It feels super-comfy thanks to the caramel tones and squishy, soft leather of the ’70s lounge suite from mid-centuryonline.com. The sunburst mirror over the mantelpiece looks fantastic and the gold tones add to the warm feel. The coffee table is from fearsandkahn.co.uk. £616, within4walls.co.uk From £500, michaaelanastassiades.com 3. LACY LOVELINESS Jo chose to drape lace…

THE CHOICE IS OURS I was enraged to read letters from readers who feel some women should not be granted the right to an abortion because there are ‘so many contraceptive choices available’ (Now over to you, 24 October). As someone who had an abortion after two different contraceptive devices both failed to work, I cannot stress strongly enough that abortion is a right for everyone, regardless of circumstance. If you are against the idea of having an abortion, don’t have one. You do not have the right to take away another woman’s choice about what to do with her body. Kate SHOW YOUR PAPERS The brief sheet (24 October) mentioned a ‘South London hospital’ piloting the scheme of showing passports to get NHS care when pregnant. This is happening…

Photos: Abbie Trayler-Smith/Oxfam, Press Association, Rex Features. *Names have been changed THE DAY ISIS ROLLED into the village of Iman Gabi in Iraq was the last day Thana* , 42, felt able to smile. She peered through the curtains as huge cars lined the streets and men with long hair and beards got out. With ISIS in control, food quickly ran out as people lost their jobs, including Thana’s labourer husband, Muhamed. When shops stopped giving the family credit, he decided to join ISIS. ‘ISIS paid well and our two children were starving, so he said he had no choice,’ Thana tells Grazia . ‘I told him I’d rather we died of hunger. When people join ISIS they don’t come back. He ignored me and started working on a checkpoint.…

Photos: Eroteme, Getty THEY’RE SAID TO HAVE endured a frosty relationship for years, despite their husbands’ 15-year friendship. Now an ‘all out war’ has apparently erupted between Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé after the singer failed to contact the reality TV star following the £8 million jewellery robbery last month. Grazia understands the reality TV star has been left hurt by Beyoncé’s silence in the wake of the violent attack, which saw five armed men break into Kim’s hotel in Paris before tying her up, gagging her and stealing her engagement ring, along with a box of jewellery worth £5 million. ‘The fact that Beyoncé hasn’t bothered to pick up the phone since her attack has been the final straw for their relationship,’ said one source. ‘Since the robbery, Kim has…

 AMONG MANY OTHER QUESTIONABLE BOASTS, Donald Trump recently attributed his success to sleeping for only three or four hours a night. By bragging about how little sleep he needs, he joined the ranks of world leaders, CEOs and creative geniuses who have used their ability to function on just a few hours’ rest as a sign of how important, successful and strong they are. This so-called ‘sleepless elite’ include Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and designer Tom Ford, who are all said to thrive on a meagre five hours’ sleep a night. Those of us who need a solid eight hours under the duvet – and let’s be honest, sometimes more – have been scared to admit to it, for fear of being viewed as lazy layabouts. “THERE’S…

Her first discovery was the glamorous Elsa (left) who epitomises the insouciant Parisian chic that’s famous worldwide. Cable knit? Oversized coat? Dark burgundy lips? Tick! Tick!

A LIFE TOO SHORT Damilola, Our Loved Boy is the story of 10-year-old Damilola Taylor, the Nigerian schoolboy murdered in a Peckham estate stairwell in 2000. This bold, feature-length drama ought to be placed on school syllabuses as a matter of educational urgency. The joyous, angry tone of the piece is set by fantastically unsentimental performances, a faithful cinematic eye, close domestic details and an unerring script from Levi David Addai. Monday, 9pm, BBC One FEELING INSECURE If you’re in thrall to SJP vehicle Divorce, hang around for the brilliant Insecure, following it each week. The self-penned travails of Issa Mae, a whip-smart stand-up, it moves smartly through her dating life in LA, casually and effectively upending the race card and moving from facile daily prejudice to expectations in the…

Photos: Zoltan Tombor/Mondadori Photo SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov Rather than use your money or talent in a conventional way, you’ll wonder whether to be more adventurous than usual. You’ll be spurred on by a link between Venus and Uranus, which will put in focus an arrangement that promises a lot. Don’t be too proud to ask someone experienced in the area concerned to cast their eye over whatever you plan to do next. And be prepared to make any changes that are recommended. SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 21 Dec If you’re tempted to take a gamble within unfamiliar territory, the stakes obviously mustn’t be too high. Don’t let a Sun-Pluto tie-up persuade you that you can afford to risk losing so much that, if…

Not telling someone the way I felt about them before it was too late. I’ll leave it there. What’s your biggest extravagance? My house. Also this year I had a look at my diet and started eating organic produce. It’s so much more expensive than bad food, but it shouldn’t be. What is your type?

Photos: Vantage News, Xposure, Rex Features BACK IN AUGUST, FOLLOWING his split from Amber Heard, Grazia revealed that Johnny Depp’s family were hoping he might rekindle his relationship with Vanessa Paradis. In an exclusive interview, Heather Rassel – who was previously married to Johnny’s nephew Billy and has stayed close to the family – said, ‘Vanessa has been there for him through this entire thing. I’m rooting for them to get back together. We all are.’ Now, it seems their wish could be coming true. Johnny and Vanessa have sparked rumours of a reunion after being spotted on an intimate date at California’s newest hot spot, Catch LA. One eyewitness who was there on 22 October told Grazia, ‘Johnny arrived separately but made an instant beeline for Vanessa. They were…

Photos: PA, Splash News THEIR MARRIAGE HAS BEEN the subject of persistent speculation, and now it seems Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder could be preparing to finally call it quits. The cinematographer was noticeably absent from his wife’s side when she walked the recent GLSEN Respect Awards red carpet, and friends claim they are living increasingly separate lives. Last May, eyebrows were raised when Danny failed to join Julia at the memorial service for her late mother, Betty Lou. In March, Grazia reported that Julia had taken the unusual step of buying a small property across the road from her $20m Malibu estate for Danny to live in as they trialled a ‘silent separation’. The pair later sold their home in Hawaii for $19.5 million, with insiders suggesting…

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. SIENNA MILLER LAURA SAYS: With election day fast approaching, here’s hoping her stateside fashion fans take note... although perhaps not so much regarding the entire look. It’s all a tad Halloween. JOHN SAYS: The tucked in T-shirt is always a bad look and never more so than when you can’t actually see the logo on the front. Proud to support who? If we didn’t know Sienna was a right-minded liberal, we might think she was hedging her bets. YOU SAY: Sienna has…

Photos: Jason Lloyd-Evans, Catwalking.com MELLOW YELLOW Meet your new go-to hue… Yellow may be associated with spring/summer collections but if our catwalk scouring is anything to go by, we should be positively pursuing zesty looks all year round. A/W ’16 saw Cédric Charlier, Emilia Wickstead and Valentino reinvent yellow on the runway, and it’s knocking around for next season too, with Céline, Simone Rocha and Gucci all on-board. Our favourite way to sport the hue is by pairing one statement piece with a load of monochrome. Go forth and follow the yellow brick road... in heels. Obvs.…

FOOD TREND HELLO, PUMPKIN! My Instagram feed is ablaze with pumpkin pics as foodies embrace this seasonal ingredient and its sweet, colourful flesh.

There’s also The Yorkshireman – an overachiever whose quick wit and warm eyes took me by surprise, especially after I cancelled on him three times. I wasn’t looking to add another to the mix but, here I am, about to meet The Belgian. Yes, I’m struggling to keep up too.
