The execs had asked her to describe her company as if it were a person: ‘So I said, “It’s non-binary genderqueer, like me!”’ Roger that, I said – then had a flashback to a time when the smug-cool-irritating thing everyone always said was: ‘I’m not comfortable labelling myself, you know?’ That was – what? Five years ago? Seven? A recent enough time, anyway, when labels were considered too lazy and restrictive to encapsulate the nuanced complexities of anyone who fancied themselves a bit. Yet here we are, really not that far into the future, declaring ourselves ‘non-binary genderqueer’ by way of a casual hello; and we’re doing this because, suddenly, oh! We love labels! Adore them! Embrace them like lovers, brandish them like Rolexes! I am not just talking about…

EVEN WHEN LAUNCHING a sportswear range, Victoria Beckham is as elegantly pulled-together as ever, in black soft leather trousers with a Shaquille O’Neal logo T-shirt from her new Reebok collaboration – paired with vertiginous stilettos. But who can blame her choice of shoes? The 5ft 4in icon has spent the day in the shadow of American basketball legend Shaquille, who towers over her at 7ft 1in. ‘She did it because of me,’ the Reebok ambassador with a size 22 shoe wisecracks, as Victoria retorts, ‘I was wearing trainers all day today! I do live in flats.’ Posh Spice has gone sporty, and she’s taken inspiration from her favourite decade, the ’90s, heyday of girl power. In the lush surroundings of an LA garden, Victoria, 43, reminisces about her recent reunion…

PHOTOS: HEATHER SHUKER, PACIFIC COAST NEWS, XPOSURE ‘YOU’LL REGRET that one day…’ It’s a comment that never fails to get wheeled out at some point by a misinformed stranger. People, I think, scared of the permanence, placing their own values on to me. I don’t know what it is, tattoos just seem to invite comments. It’s not like I walk around telling people I don’t like their haircut or their fake breasts. And with all the advances in the tattoo world, tattoos are only as permanent as we choose them to be. They can be removed with a laser, or ‘blasted over’ with another design inked over the top – probably the route Zayn Malik will choose now he’s split from Gigi Hadid. Those tattooed eyes on his chest are…

ON THE FRINGE Think tactile fabrics, swishy fringe, heavy beading and metal hardware wherever you can get it – it’s all in the detail. DENIM X2 Double up on your pale denim, add a sporty twist with trainers, and save those Daisy Dukes until your summer hols. RETRO FLORALS Soft floaty maxidresses teamed with the season’s must-have cowboy boot – add touches of suede and topaz to finish the look. PHOTOS: CATWALKING.COM PURITAN Save this look for high summer – crisp whites, subtle frills and modest florals, this is one to wear with a holiday glow.…

SIMPLY STYLISH Keeping the living room area minimal makes the most of the small space and allows for a calm mood. The silver upholstered sofa (designersguild.com) picks up the light while the vintage Danish chair (forestlondon.com), covered in a sheepskin throw, adds warmth, as does the gold wall light (ebay.co.uk). The simple crate-like storage is from RE (re-foundobjects.com) in Corbridge, Northumberland. PHOTOGRAPHS CHRIS TUBBS CONCRETE COOL The kitchen, part of the open-plan living space, is a great mix of modern materials and retro charm. The white units are topped by a thick polished concrete worktop, the combination repeated in the kitchen island (consciousforms.com). The island was built in-situ as one piece and left to set for a month before being polished. ‘I chose it because I loved the finish of…

NEW RELEASE The Lido Libby Page (£12.99, ORION) Kate, 26, is struggling – she’s moved to London to be a local reporter, but loneliness and panic attacks mean she can’t get a grip on her new life. Rosemary, 86, is also struggling – all that remains of the life she’s always loved (and the beloved husband she’s lost) is the lido, and now that is under threat from developers. When the pair meet and form an unlikely bond, they find the strength to change their lives. Libby Page’s novel made a splash at the London Book Fair last year, but what will win you over is the story of two women and the strength of their friendship. TERRIFIC TALES ABOUT FEMALE BEST FRIENDS Conversations With Friends Sally Rooney (£6.99, FABER…

Watch the crowd The chic folk of Cartier threw one helluva shindig in San Francisco last week to launch their Santos de Cartier watch. And talk about people watching! Every superstar worth their salt descended on Pier 48 to party under the twinkly lights of the Bay Bridge – from Sienna Miller to Winne Harlow, Jake Gyllenhaal to Idris Elba. As the evening drew to a close, guests danced to sets by Hot Chip and Jamie XX.…

If you’ve ever planned a wedding – or even sat near someone going through it – you’ll be familiar with the pressure to invite guests chosen by family elders. Whether it’s that annoying cousin-in-law (your nan just loves their comedy outfits, which will now ruin your pictures), or your parents’ Rotary club friends, these are people you haven’t seen since you were 12, whose presence will be at the expense of one of your best friends. So, when we heard that Harry and Meghan refused to kowtow to royal protocol, declining to invite heads of state (Theresa May and Donald Trump will be ‘washing their hair’ on 19 May), we cracked open an Aintree-sized mini prosecco. Free at last!…

IN THE LAST few months, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have visited Paris together for Easter, had dinner with their son Moses in London, been on a beach holiday to the Caribbean, lovingly paid tribute to one another on Instagram, and apparently redefined their relationship – again (Gwyneth wrote online, ‘Happy birthday my brother, thanks for giving me these two [children]’). So it’s perhaps no surprise that Chris’s new girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, is said to be finding their arrangement… awkward. According to one well-placed source, ‘The current situation is challenging for her, and she’s not sure if she really wants to share her partner with another woman who is still so involved in every aspect of his life. ‘Dakota is still very much in love with Chris, but things have…

PHOTOS: GETTY OVER THE PAST 14 MONTHS since Trump became President, many of us have wished we could turn back the clock to the calmer, more compassionate Obama administration. For Pat Cunnane, watching the daily slew of scandals erupting from Trump’s White House has been particularly excruciating. For six years, Pat worked for Obama, first as a press wrangler, shepherding journalists around the US and abroad with the President, and eventually as his senior writer and deputy director of messaging. He had a front-row seat for every momentous occasion, from Obama’s swearing-in at the start of his second term to Nelson Mandela’s funeral, and got to know the President well enough to be the butt of Obama’s jokes about his golf swing. The contrast between his old boss and Trump…

THERE ARE HUNDREDS of reasons to admire Amal Clooney, a woman who’s so impressive that being married to a Hollywood A-lister is arguably the least interesting thing about her. So many in fact, that it would feel almost reductive to admire and analyse the international human rights lawyer’s style – if she wasn’t so clearly having fun with it herself. Returning to Columbia Law School as a visiting professor earlier this month, having previously taught there in 2015, Amal has been serving up look after superlative look of spring workwear over the past couple of weeks. A queen of on-off dressing (‘on’ in that her look is always very together; ‘off ’ in that it’s a little off-kilter), this is a musty tweed and patched cord free zone. Amal’s academic…

PHOTOS: CATWALKING.COM,VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM, NAOMI BAILEY-COOPER SUSTAINABILITY MIGHT have become a sexy issue in recent years, but the V&A’s latest exhibition, Fashioned From Nature, explores the multifaceted relationship between fashion and the natural world since 1600. ‘Fashion relies on nature completely for all its raw materials and on the planet for energy – to process the fabrics, to transport them around the world and bring them to our doorsteps,’ explains curator Edwina Ehrman of the exhibition, which includes such oddities from the V&A’s archive as an 1875 pair of earrings formed from the heads of two real honeycreeper birds (above). But far from dwelling on the past, Fashioned From Nature also looks at the innovative fabrics of today that help form part of the solution to fashion’s enormous environmental…

Look on the bright side. S/S ’18’s crayon box of colours will make an optimist out of anyone. But don’t underestimate the power of a little black dress. Give All Saints-style combat pants another chance. Never, ever have they ever looked so good. And top off the ’90s vibe with a bucket hat ( JW Anderson’s new Uniqlo one is on the fash pack’s list). PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, REX FEATURES, CATWALKING.COM, JASON LLOYD-EVANS Bag a cut-out boot. Chloé’s Rylee leads the charge this season. Throw an oversized cardi over a pretty dress.

WHATEVER YOUR MOOD OR LOOK, your jewellery should say something unique about you. It’s a concept not lost on London socialite, ambassador for Young Epilepsy and the great niece of Ian Fleming, the man who created James Bond, fashion PR Hum Fleming. Here, Hum models her particular favourites from the striking new Splendour collection from Links of London. The pieces are all easy to wear, but Hum particularly loves the long delicate chain necklace interspersed with stars worn with the rose gold stud star earrings (left). Rather fittingly, with her family links to Bond classics Goldfinger, Golden Eye and The Man With The Golden Gun, Hum loves rose gold, especially the 18kt rose gold vermeil designs of the Splendour collection. Mixing the rose gold with sterling silver and 18kt yellow…

“KNOWLEDGE IS POWER… IT GIVES YOU THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO” LOLA BERTHOD HAS JUST become a mother for the first time. At 34, she owns her own house, has conquered a male-dominated industry and built a wide, supportive circle of friends. Now she is embarking on the biggest challenge of her life – raising the baby son she conceived with donor sperm after a fertility ‘MOT’ produced frightening results. Lola decided to ‘go solo’ after learning that her egg reserve is low and may last just a few more years. Pragmatic, resourceful and self-sufficient, she is among a growing number of women who are changing the IVF landscape: the fertility MOT mothers. These are professional women who, after paying around £500 for a series of…

Q ‘I’d like to “break up” with a friend I’ve known for 15 years. We used to be inseparable, but over the last few years we’ve gone in different directions. She’s not done anything wrong but I find her grating on me when I do see her. She’s changed and maybe I have too. I think it’s time for us to go our separate ways – how do I tell her?’ ELEANOR SAYS: Why does the idea of a definitive ‘break-up’ seem so appealing? Our friendships change and evolve over the course of our lives, depending on a whole host of things. Romantic relationships, having children, changing location, our jobs, etc, can all affect how much – and in what capacity – we see our friends. In times of extremis…

WILD GARLIC Come spring our seasonal produce changes and we see more delicate vegetables and leaves becoming available. Wild garlic is one of my favourites for adding depth of flavour to dishes and it works particularly well with other traditional spring produce. The wild garlic season is quite short (until June) and it’s great fun to forage for it in woodland – look out for thick leaves, delicate white blossoms and the scent of garlic when you crush it between your fingers. Or you can buy it at farmers’ markets and online (ocado.com and riverford.co.uk).

IT’S 1896, NEW YORK. In a cinematic opening longshot, we’re transported to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, alongside the watchful eye of NY Times illustrator, John Schuyler Moore (Luke Evans: phwoar, etc). A murdered pubescent boy, Giorgio Santarelli, also known among the denizens of the morally bankrupt bordello The Paresi as ‘Gloria’, is dressed in a virginal gown, innards split open, eyes gouged out. Schuyler Moore manfully draws the body that will haunt his deepest nightmares and cracking new drama, The Alienist. The saga is adapted from the page-turning, best-selling novel by Caleb Carr. Fans of the book will not be disappointed, those unfamiliar with it duly dazzled. In an odd historical context, each incident of painterly symbolism – a raven cawing, a child’s choir singing Frère Jacques, the…

AMBER’S divorce donation AMBER HEARD is an awesome woman of her word – last week, it was revealed that Johnny Depp’s ex-wife had indeed quietly donated the proceeds of her 2016 divorce to charity. On its website, the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital listed the actor as one of its donors, revealing she’d gifted them between $1m and $5m of her $7m settlement.

Props also to co-star Sarah Steele. 2 DOWN LOUIS XIV Just been axed by the BBC, along with the rest of the cast of Versailles, deemed too raunchy to be tenable. Dangers of lust, people.

PHOTOS:YASMIN HUSSEIN FROM YH STUDIOS DXB, DUBAI SAUDI ARABIA hosted its first ever fashion shows last week. Held in the glittering environs of Riyadh’s Ritz-Carlton hotel, and showcasing international names like Jean Paul Gaultier and Roberto Cavalli alongside local designers, Arab Fashion Week was a powerful metaphor for a country that is in the process of deep transformation. Change, of course, isn’t necessarily easy. And, for a moment, the boundaries between being fashionably late and just not turning up at all were pushed to the max as the entire event threatened to be overshadowed by scheduling chaos – first it was pushed back two weeks in part because of no-show visas, then a sandstorm – which rendered the tent unsafe – delayed the second start date, with murmurs of government…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES,THE MEGA AGENCY IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME before he was taken off the list of eligible A-list bachelors – he is Brad Pitt after all. But with his divorce to Angelina Jolie not yet finalised, word leaked a little earlier than anticipated last week that Mr Pitt potentially has a hugely impressive new love interest in his sights. So-called ‘rock star professor’ Neri Oxman, a celebrity of the science world, has the type of résumé that puts the rest of us to shame – and it’s not difficult to see how Brad has become enamoured with her brains and beauty. In the first-ever pictures of the pair, Brad, 54, and Neri, 42, pose happily together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last November (where Neri…

A BLACK TEENAGE boy stabbed at a London bus stop. A grieving mother demanding justice. And a police force under intense pressure to act. Two and a half decades since 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence was knifed to death by a mob of white racists in Eltham, the facts of his murder are still frighteningly familiar, echoing through the killings that continue to stain London. ‘Black lives are still cheap,’ says Imran Khan, the lawyer who has fought alongside Baroness Doreen Lawrence for justice for her son since the beginning. ‘If you had 50 white people dead in the last few months, there would be absolute uproar.’ This week, to mark the 25th anniversary of Stephen’s murder, an emotional documentary reignites the debate that continued for longer than the handsome young A-level…

It’s as easy as colour by numbers: roll blush pinks over cheeks, lips and even eyelids, using fingers to blend it into the skin; slick highlighter on cheekbones, Cupid’s bow and collarbones for that elusive lit-from-within glow; carve cheekbones you never knew you had in a single swipe. And you can say goodbye to impromptu bag leaks, too. Finally, some…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, LANDMARK MEDIA CHANCES ARE, YOU’VE probably seen a lot of Michiel Huisman. Having been a child actor in his native Netherlands, he hit our screens via big Netflix produce (Orphan Black), HBO fare (Treme), quirky cinema (The Age Of Adaline) and even as protagonist of a Chanel No 5 advert directed by Baz Luhrmann (starring Gisele Bündchen). But it was his role as Daenerys Targaryen’s warrior suitor, Daario Naharis, in Game Of Thrones – and his headline-grabbing nude scenes – that propelled him fully into the public consciousness. This year alone he has six projects hitting our screens. Speaking from Atlanta, where he’s filming a new show, The Haunting Of Hill House, for Netflix, Michiel (pronounced ‘Mekeel’) is keen to move on from fronting up to full-frontal…

WORDS: RACHEL LOOS. PHOTO: @THEDRONEMAN VIEW POINT Bondi Beach, Sydney This iconic beach is just as gorgeous at (sand and) sea level and with so much to see and do in the area, it’s become a thing to spend a weekend in the ‘Bondi Bubble’. Once you’re done surfing the waves or catching the sun, choose from one of many cool cafés and restaurants in the surrounding streets. A couple of suggestions... do try the jalapeño cocktail at Lox Stock & Barrel (loxstockandbarrel.com.au), and the sharing taco board at Fonda (fondamexican.com.au).…

I have just read Celine Smith’s article ‘I’ve dumped my mum friends who treat their husbands like an extra child’ (9 April) and I was so relieved it’s not just me that feels this way! I struggle so much with how some women speak to their husbands about ‘babysitting’. They aren’t babysitting, they are with their own child! I’ve a dear friend and we haven’t had dinner together for nearly two years due to ‘bedtime’. She’s pregnant again and I fear I may never again see her on her own in the evening. Hopefully, honestly written articles like this can help people overcome this attitude. Jenny While I sympathise with Celine on her choice of friends, having a child is no excuse for being two hours late to dinner! Some…
