It’s September – and that can only mean one thing: a new ‘school bag’! It’s been ingrained in us from our classroom days – and we’re still running with it. Because on page 67 we bring you the new-season bags you’ll want to brag about. Will you go for a saddle, a circle or an oversized tote? Pens and pencils optional. And while we still might be basking in early autumn sunshine – long may it continue – we are ringing the new coat bell too. It may feel a little early for a winter number, but believe us when we say 10 of the best are on the high street now and will go like, well, hot coats! See page 36. In other news, how many times have you…

Photos: Xposure LAST SUNDAY, NEARLY 2 million people, 40,000 volunteers and 30 million sequins attended the 46th Notting Hill Carnival in West London. Over the course of the day, police made 450 arrests, most of these in some way connected with either drink or drugs. And it’s a fair guess that thousands of other revellers got more than a little tipsy. But one woman’s drinking came under the spotlight more than any other; singer and songwriter Lily Allen, had, it seems, a little too much of the hard stuff, got spectacularly smashed, and was carried away from the carnival looking, to put it kindly, a tad the worse for wear. As soon as the photos of her drunken afternoon went public, Lily’s Twitter feed lit up like a firework at,…

Photo: Getty Images THE FIRST TIME, I WAS 13. ‘Big tits!’ shouted a sweaty-fringed spotty boy on the school playing field that paved my path home. While I did absolutely, objectively have big tits – being a girl who had developed early, earlier than most of my friends – I’d never been that girl. As in that girl who any boy would look at and think, well, anything. I’d always been small and awkward, with thick NHS glasses and dirty, bloodied elbows and knees. I was just invisible. But times they were a-changing, and I and the rest of the world were changing with them. Walking, shuffling across the grass that day, I felt embarrassed and upset in a way I couldn’t quite process but, by god, also a little…

derek lam a/w ’16 BECKHAM BONANZA With something of a Midas touch in fashion, it’s no surprise that the beauty industry is abuzz with Victoria Beckham’s collaboration with Estée Lauder. Complementing its sartorially elegant designer, the newly launched make-up collection is housed in black and gold casing and includes everything from twinkling pigments to classic red and nude lipsticks. From £22. ACE YOUR BASE The lingerie of the make-up world, primers work to ensure that everything applied atop is as beautiful as can be. Sensai Smoothing Water Make-Up Base, £33, looks like water but feels like a lotion. When splashed on, it cleverly delivers an invisible veil that hydrates and holds make-up in place for longer. FANCY FOUNDATIONS Because complexion perfection means luminous, lightweight and blendable, the limelight increasingly falls…

BAN THE BEADS! Microbeads, the tiny plastic spheres found in face wash, toothpaste and shampoo, have been a hot talking point over the last week, with Parliament calling for a worldwide ban following the discovery of their inability to decompose, resulting in detrimental environmental effects. Around 808 tonnes swirl down our plugholes on a daily basis. These in turn become an unwilling snack for micro plankton, which are eaten by fish and birds. Stock your bathroom shelves with these bead-free beauties!…

Sharon Horgan is one of the few TV names that guarantees shows an instant shine of superiority – think Pulling, Catastrophe and the forthcoming Sarah Jessica Parker return to HBO, Divorce. She’s joined in the writing of new sitcom pilot Motherland by husband-and-wife team Graham and Helen Linehan and comedian Holly Walsh. The brilliant Anna Maxwell Martin stars as cash-rich, time-poor Julia, a harassed metropolitan mother of two. Diane ‘Philomena Cunk’ Morgan, looking like a dowdy Mariah Carey, turns out to be her unlikely ally in the ghastly, competitive local parenthood cabal. Motherland is set in one of those nameless London boroughs where everyone has gleaming eye-level ovens and social diaries spinning around Sunday-supplement home-entertainment habits – apart from the main character. It’s hard to work out who of the…

Photos: Getty Images, Instagram/bangbangnyc, Rex Features, Splash News WHEN YOU PUBLICLY profess your love for someone, ‘That wasn’t funny’ probably isn’t the three-word response you’re after. But that’s what Drake got at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards. Presenting Rihanna with the Video Vanguard Award, the softest man in rap waxed lyrical about his on/off girlfriend. His four-minute monologue culminated in him announcing, ‘She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,’ and moving in for a big Hollywood kiss. Only, RiRi swerved, directed his lips to somewhere along her jawline (left) and muttered that immortal line – on camera. The pair were inseparable during the weekend following the awards, so why did she appear so noncommittal on stage? According to one insider, ‘Rihanna was a…

Photos: Wenn, INF Photo, Fame Flynet, Photoshot THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING , Donald Trump is a presidential candidate and frogs are expected to start raining from the sky any day – but don’t panic, Hollywood has its priorities in check. According to insiders, across the pond plastic surgeons are being inundated with requests for controversial surgery to create the much-coveted thigh gap – the space between thighs that are too skinny to touch. A-listers including Demi Moore, Jennifer Aniston and Kylie Jenner are believed to have undergone the treatment, which typically includes CoolSculpting – freezing off fat cells, fat-lasering treatments such as Zerona, and liposuction on the inner thighs. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon David Feldmar of Feldmar Aesthetics, who has a string of A-list clients, told Grazia , ‘Celebrities…

IN AUGUST OF LAST year, I found my flatmate in the kitchen one morning before work, looking tanned, hungover and drained as she made her coffee, having spent weeks going from holiday to wedding to festival to pop-up bar. ‘What’s up, dude?’ I asked. ‘I just,’ she said, sighing, ‘I just miss having soup, Doll. You know? Days when work finishes at six, and you don’t have to go to a pub garden or some rooftop cinema and you’re home by seven and you watch some telly and eat some M&S soup.’ Missing Soup Syndrome, we now call it. The end-of-August feeling of fun fatigue; of wanting boring, habitual cosy normal life to resume. Well now it’s here. Remember when the year always began in September? The first day of…

Photos: Wenn/Lonely, Rex Features, Shutterstock How feminist is your bra? I ask because Hayat Rachi thinks it’s probably not adequately feminist, which is why she’s launched a range of bras that (she says) definitely is , called Neon Moon. The feminism comes from the bras being advertised with images of non-standard, non-digitally altered, racially diverse models which is of course fab, only I can’t help but notice all the models are pretty standard-looking in terms of all being really young. I guess there’s ‘diverse images of womanhood’ and then there’s old, right? Anyway. Rachi also says her bras are feminist in that they don’t ‘sexualise women… purely for the male gaze’, which is fine, except I’m not sure sexiness stands in opposition to feminism, and also: last time I looked,…

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. RITA ORA LAURA SAYS: An amazing look from Marc Jacobs, but perhaps better reserved for the runway. Rita looks as if she rolled out of bed, nightie-clad, into the nearest punk-rock chicken shed. That updo looks genuinely painful. JOHN SAYS: Nerves of steel are required to carry this off. First to be sure that none of the furry bits comes back to life and second to balance on an eight-inch heel. Rita may be looking more confident than she feels. YOU SAY…

AS WE LOOK TO AUTUMN (and the chance to buy new clothes – yay!) we’re turning back time to get our fashion cues. Last season was all about the ’70s, but the new season is all about a ’60s reboot. Minidresses, polo necks and swing coats are all on the menu for everyday wear, and they’ll ramp up your work wardrobe a treat – try layering a shift dress over a crew-neck knit, or pair a classic white blouse with ankle-skimming cigarette pants. Print is big news too, and checks are where it’s at – think oversized houndstooth, herringbone and Prince of Wales check – but in graphic block-colour brights that bring the heritage trend bang up to date. The key to wearing this look is to mix and match:…

Photos: catwalking.com, Jason Lloyd-Evans LACE The race is on… Lace graces the catwalk season on season but the pieces that made an appearance for A/W ’16 felt suddenly cool, thanks to Marc Jacobs, Ferretti and Rodarte. But one show in particular sparked a positive lace frenzy. All hail Lanvin, a label of true femininity and in this case, all things lovely and lacy. Shop this trend wisely and you could collate a selection of lacy bits and pieces to rotate in your wardrobe year after year. Talk about a great, guilt-free investment...…

Massage in your moisturiser and finish the look with a slick of clear lip balm and a dab of highlighter to the cheek and brow bones and inner eye corners.…

Photo: Tombor Zoltan VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sept At first, you might think nothing could prevent you from expressing your views on a sensitive matter. But your candid streak will be kept in check by loved ones or friends suddenly insisting that you watch what you say. Yes, it will feel unfair and unreasonable. But Mercury is allied to the Sun in your sign, while also being challenged by Mars. It’s a case of choosing your battles very carefully and avoiding making enemies unnecessarily. LIBRA 24 Sep – 23 Oct Try not to raise your expectations to such heights that disappointment is inevitable. You are going through a confident, optimistic phase. And that’s fine provided you keep your feet on the ground regarding a facet of your private life…

1. NEW IN CHABUDDY G Breakthrough star of the new series of the immaculate People Just Do Nothing (BBC3). His romantic travails, and his hair product, move us. 2. UP STEWART LEE The comedian has a newish book out and there are publicity shots of him all over town, reminding us how much we have loved him (lots), and for how long (ages). 3. UP JENNA COLEMAN ‘Too pretty to play Victoria’ (Sundays, 9pm, ITV), according to Twitter, which has got to be some of the most desirable trolling on record. 4. UP FRANK OCEAN Because new album Blond is extraordinary; and because, somewhere, there’s a 140-hour video of him building a spiral staircase. (It’s art. Something to do with heaven.) 5. UP MELANIE C All abdominals and integrity in…

FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS IN fashion, ‘waist’ has been a dirty word – cue loose, androgynous tailoring, oversized knitwear and slip dresses that skim rather than shape. But all that is over. Rejoice, all ye with an hourglass figure! We’re calling it now: A/W ’16 is the season of the waist, and everything from workwear to outerwear has received the nipped-in treatment. At Balenciaga, new creative director Demna Gvasalia (of Vetements fame) took his cue from the suits of the late 1940s, nodding not only to Cristóbal Balenciaga’s own mid-century curvy two-pieces, but to Dior’s iconic 1947 New Look collection, and namely the Bar Suit, with its moulded, sculpted jacket that narrows the waist and perfectly rounds out the hips. But back to this season and what’s in store.…

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams and Isla Fisher, it’s set to be everywhere this November. Wright himself died in 2003, with the book originally published in 1993. In it, Susan Morrow receives a package from her ex-husband Edward Sheffield that turns out to be a book he’s written, Noctural Animals. Prepare to be hooked. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features and special projects editor The book-within-a-book format is one that really tests the talent of a novelist, but Austin Wright was an old hand at creating multiple styles in his writing.

GETTING IN THE MOOD Last year, I found myself in a rut: I was facing the last year of school, afraid of upcoming tests and what comes after it. I heard a lot about the power of positive thoughts à la ‘If you can dream it, you can do it’, but I never took any action. So little by little I started doing yoga and meditation to focus the mind, and I created a mood board. Now, one year later I read Board Of Life? (5 Sep) and can really say where I am now is to a huge part thanks to my mood board. The article summed it up perfectly and this is really something that more people should get into. Your thoughts have a big impact on your…

We’re four best mates from school and we come as a package. What is your biggest regret? I think about it often – the salads were dressed 20 minutes too early at my wedding. You have to make a decision whether you’re going to be a bride or a guest, and I thought no, I’ll be a guest, so I just ate and drank up. What’s your biggest extravagance? My Tom Ford military coat.
