Graziaの Issue 814 の目次

AFTER THREE COVID delays, the Bond film finally had its glittering premiere last week, giving us all a reason to return to the cinema. It also reminded me of what makes something a classic. Quality, for sure. But also a subtle line between timelessness and a capacity for reinvention. (No spoilers, but you can certainly feel the influence of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s writing in No Time To Die.) That essence is something we’ve also explored elsewhere in the issue – including the creation of our first ever Grazia x Lyst Forever 15, which ranks fashion’s most popular classics using a bespoke algorithm. You’ll find items long-revered in fashion – think Max Mara’s camel coat – but also new labels set to be future classics. But most importantly, I hope you find…

“Remember when there were too many hours in the day during lockdown? For many of us, it could be a challenge to fill our time: we’d bake more than we could eat and rearrange items that we’d already organised. Now, with many of us back in the office, socialising, commuting and doing the school run again, we’re finding ourselves in a back-to-work time warp. ‘Me’ time feels like a distant memory. But we should try to avoid getting sucked back into the pre-pandemic busyness vortex that wasn’t always healthy. Alongside enjoying the regained freedoms, make time to wind down, do nothing, sleep and prioritise some time for yourself.”…

1. New in BRETT GOLDSTEIN Having too-predictably got deep into Ted Lasso following all those Emmys, having discovered the show truly is As Good As They Say, we’ve also caught Big Lusty Feelings for Roy Kent, played by Goldstein. 2. Up CHARLOTTE HARRIS Our fave gardening lust icon, who just won gold at the Chelsea Flower Show again. She’s very good at ‘planting’, which we just made sound like a euphemism (NB: it’s not). 3. New in WILL SMITH’S FANTASY HAREM ‘Travelling with 20 women that I loved and took care of and all of that, it seemed like a really great idea,’ he said recently. Lust goals? TBC. 4. New in ANGELEEKND The possible merging of the celebrity quantities known separately as Angelina Jolie and The Weeknd. Sexy, even…

. PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK On Meghan Markle’s New York style mood board? Amal Clooney and Shiv from Succession would be an educated guess. What was not in doubt was her Big Apple message: I mean business. For Meghan, that meant clothes that majored in executive elegance. Pared-back pieces like Max Mara and Emporio Armani coats, a turtleneck from The Row and a Valextra bag. It was sleek, chic, modern power dressing at its best. But there was space for a bit of fashion flair too. Namely in the relaxed burgundy Loro Piana co-ords and embellished Valentino mini-shift she wore on stage at the Global Citizen Live festival. The looks were a masterclass in stealth wealth. Although the stealth was diminished thanks to the predictable grumbling about the price of the…

DOLCE & GABBANA S/S ’22 VINTAGE CLOTHES AND ME? We go way back. From the moment I realised my teenage Chelsea Girl high-street outfits looked cooler styled with 1950s brocades and prints from church jumble sales, I got the retro habit. It’s one I kept up through student years and life as a fashion editor, although I did once feel shy telling Samantha Cameron that the leopard-print coat I was wearing was a £3 snip from a Save The Children shop (ridic in retrospect, Italian film star Claudia Cardinale herself would have had it off my back!). And now the noughties are back: the maribou-trimmed, velour-tracksuited era that moderation forgot. The Y2K hashtag has been bubbling on TikTok and the resale platforms for a couple of years (from April 2020…

I NEVER THOUGHT I’d say this, but I got a very welcome barrage of WhatsApp messages the other day. I know! But they were welcome for several reasons. Firstly, they were from one of my oldest friends. Secondly, they weren’t to do with home improvements or politics. And thirdly, they were all lyrics from soul and funk songs. More precisely, they were lyrics from ’80s Soul Weekender , an album said friend and I used to listen to when we were at uni together, many moons ago. Songs we danced around the room to, did shots to, made plans to, made promises to. She followed the lyrics with a message that said, ‘So many of our getting-ready-to-go-out songs when we had not a care in the world.’ And then, ‘Hello…

EXECUTIVE ELEGANCE Throughout 2021, Balenciaga’s Hourglass Blazer had an 80% sold-out rate. Call it our antidote to lockdown dressing or put it down to the fact that this piece transforms everything. The only thing matching it? Gucci’s Brixton loafers, which have seen demand and searches triple year-on-year. Hourglass blazer, £2,150, Balenciaga; Brixton loafers, £575, Gucci Scan here to shop SUCCESSORIES Slick accessories will last a lifetime, so it’s no wonder Valentino’s logo belt generates more than 3,000 monthly searches. Similarly, demand for Missoma’s coin necklaces is also on the rise – and has been since the brand launched its collab with Lucy Williams back in 2017. Belt, £260, Valentino; necklace, £145, Missoma FANTASY FOOTWEAR Not only are they like jewellery for your feet, Manolo Blahnik’s blue satin Hangisi heels have…

TOUGH LUXE DESPITE THE GENTRIFICATION of every square inch around it, London’s Camden Lock remains, much to the delight of tourists, a stomping ground of subcultures. Here you’ll find punks looking exactly how you’d hope they would: studded leather, lace-up boots, stupendous mohicans. But you don’t need to be quite so committed to counterculture codes (or, indeed, hairspray) to tap into a subversive spirit. Rather, you can nod to it with attitude-laden, tough luxe jewellery, be it a sparkling safetypin earring or a spiky necklace, clashing metals or hardware-inspired details. Wear with leather, if you wish, but don’t feel obliged to. This is a refined rebellion for those who also enjoy the finer things.…

WE’RE ALL AWARE of the stereotypes around hormones, from spotty teenage skin to that legendary but often elusive pregnancy glow. Whatever phase of life you’re in, at times hormones will affect your complexion (as well as mood and sleep). The key is to work with them and to use key ingredients and formulas to lessen signs of hormonal fluctuations. Here’s our expert guide to how different life stages affect your skin and the best ways to tackle them. 1. PERIODS The impact of menstrual cycle-related hormones on our skin extends beyond pesky spot flare-ups. Here, Dr Ewoma Ukeleghe, a clinical expert in skincare and founder and CEO of London skin clinic Skndoctor, explains how fertility affects your complexion. Week 1 First, says Ukeleghe, you can expect dryness. ‘During the first…

Daughter Miquita followed in her footsteps, forging a career in TV presenting noughties T4 music show Popworld. Living opposite one another in east London, in lockdown they became closer than ever, joining forces to create low-fi show What’s For Dinner Mummy? in which they cooked, danced and drank cocktails. Here they share their beauty differences, similarities, rituals and more. SKIN RITUALS ANDI: My own…

THE FABULOUSLY LOATHSOME family battles of Succession were introduced in 2018 by ailing, tempestuous patriarch Logan Roy sleepwalking in the middle of the night and urinating on the family carpet. In one perfectly considered scene, a template was set. Who, of Logan’s three awful sons, one reprehensible daughter and baleful, stoned nephew would get to mark the territory of the family media empire? Succession is one of the few beneficiaries of the lockdown stagnation in TV production. The cliff-hanger at the end of season two (no spoilers for those yet to indulge) was a heavyweight. Absence only made the heart go stronger and anticipation for season three is at fever pitch. It is the ‘success’ buried in Succession’s title that secured the Roys’ position as a modern phenomenon. Half satire,…

Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk ■ Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK Polly was spot on when she wrote that we can shift the shame around abortion by speaking up about our own, but that’s not the only thing we can do to support the women of Texas. Three organisations are accepting donations to enable women to travel out of state for terminations: The Lilith Fund, Fund Texas Choice and the Texas Equal Access Fund. Meanwhile, Jane’s Due Process gives advice to pregnant teens in Texas. I’ve been lucky enough not to need an abortion, but my life has been immeasurably better for knowing it would be an option. It’s not just about the consequences of unwanted children, it’s the impact of the fear that would…

IN A RECENT INTERVIEW in The Times , Labour MP Angela Rayner talked about her childhood in Stockport, where she grew up poor and struggling with a bipolar mother – a woman who self-harmed, attempted suicide, was sectioned, and was in no position to care for Rayner or her siblings. As a consequence, ‘We were feral,’ Rayner said in the interview. ‘We got ourselves ready [for school]. My mum wouldn’t be able to get up… I got bullied because my hair was an absolute mess. That’s why my hair is always immaculate now.’ As origin stories on a trademark blow-dry go, this one wins. All others need not apply. Rayner’s hair is not just a rigorously maintained ’do, but rather: a proud statement of defiance, of deprivation overcome. A rejection…

MILAN FASHION WEEK NOW THAT WE’RE entering that tricky transitional period between autumn and winter, you might have to go back to the drawing board when it comes to getting dressed. What you need is a reliable rotation of bankable pieces that will go the distance this October, slotting into your existing wardrobe while simultaneously giving it a new-season lift. And, happily, with events starting up again, there’s been plenty of transitional inspiration on the streets. Even better? Some of these hard-working heroes might already be languishing in your wardrobe. So dig them out and give them a fresh spin for fresher days ahead. SWAP DENIM FOR CHINOS LONDON FASHION WEEK Groundbreaking they aren’t but, nevertheless, the wide-leg chino has rocketed straight to the top of wish lists since fashion…

KENYA HUNT DEPUTY EDITOR ‘My Dior bar jacket is the piece I turn to when I want maximum impact with minimum effort. Looks equally great with a full skirt as it does with a pair of straight leg jeans.’ ‘The Air Jordan not only birthed sneaker culture, it’s that rare shoe that embodies both the retro and the next wave. You’ll never be out of style with a Classic Jordan 1.’ CHARLOTTE PAVITT FASHION ASSISTANT ‘A classic trench is the perfect trans-seasonal, goes-with-everything piece. I’m looking to add a khaki one to my wardrobe.’ HATTIE BRETT EDITOR ‘One saved for special occasions, mainly, but on days where my wardrobe is jeans and a tee, Cartier’s Clash bracelet is there to add a little extra.’ ‘You really can’t go wrong with…

Pat McGrath Labs OpuLUST Gloss, £23 I am reverting back to my early noughties self, complete with lightly lacquered lips, from the palest nude to the boldest red. Fenty Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara, £21 I like volume, length, curl! Fenty’s Full Frontal Volume leaves my lashes feeling pumped without looking woefully clumped. Drunk Elephant Wild Marula Tangle Spray, £21 This doubles as a fantastic, lightweight curl conditioner. I’ve started using it as the final spritz in my wash-and-go and I’m hooked. Louis Vuitton California Dream, £200 for 100ml I was a fragrance monogamist. But then the pandemic hit and I pursued any means of escape. This took me somewhere sunny and optimistic. It’s softly sweet and citrussy and I can’t get enough of it. Make-up! Skincare! Haircare!…

Let’s not forget about cortisol, the ‘stress hormone’ produced by our adrenal glands. Though cortisol isn’t all bad – it regulates blood sugar and reduces inflammation – when our body produces too much, it shows in our skin. ‘Cortisol spikes can encourage our oil glands to produce more sebum, and this sebum is likely to be thicker and stickier,’ says Charlotte Ferguson. ‘It’s the perfect storm for spots and breakouts.’ Unfortunately, skincare doesn’t play a part in the solution, which is instead a matter of a balanced diet, ample sleep, reducing stress triggers and practising relaxation and meditation techniques.…

If you can’t get away for the night, plan a day trip to one of these top wineries... Chapel Down, Kent: Head to Tenterden, Kent, to see where the magic happens at one of the UK’s most established vineyards. Chapel Down’s Walking Wine Tour (£35pp) lets you taste wines among the very vines they’re from, while giving you a quick lesson in viticulture and the vineyard cycle. For the full experience, kick back over lunch at The Swan Restaurant, open Wednesday to Sunday with a rich and comforting menu. Takeaway: English Rosé full of juicy fruitiness; chapeldown.com Oxney Organic Estate, East Sussex: The estate’s organic wines won gold at the prestigious International Wine Challenge awards last year. Learn all about organic wine-making and then tuck into a picnic lunch, packed…

Catch up on… RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Instant favourites in Britain’s annual drag-off? Choriza May, River Medway and Krystal Versace. Drag Race UK is now compulsory autumn viewing, the impish, tearaway young nephew (or niece) of Strictly and Bake Off. Thursdays, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer Watch live… Ridley Road Sarah Solemani’s amazing tale of a Jewish resistance group fighting neo-Nazism in post-war London is compelling, fierce and very much awards-bound. This gripping drama is basically what the BBC was invented to make. Sundays, 9pm, BBC One Wallow in… Brassic Vinnie (Joe Gilgun), Dylan (Damien Maloney) and Erin (Michelle Keegan) are three anti-heroes for our times, weathering petty criminality, spiky humour and the old game of love in a small, Northern town. It’s a place where the most excitement to…

A CHOICE WORTH FIGHTING FOR Good on Polly Vernon for speaking so openly about her abortions (The one thing we can do about the Texas abortion laws, 4 Oct). I am pro-choice but wish that choice was real. As much as women are pressured into having children they can be pressured into having a termination because they’re scared and not in a good place emotionally. Women often prefer not to talk about abortion because they are judged for it – by other women or health professionals who are not neutral on this matter. I wish it was a better world in which we could all show more compassion for each other. Thank you Grazia for not shying away from difficult topics.…

MADELEINE THOMPSON’S ONESIE And you thought ‘chic onesie’ was an oxymoron……

PHOTOS: GETTY, INSTAGRAM ELON MUSK AND SINGER GRIMES were undoubtedly the most chaotic celebrity couple of recent years. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO thoroughly enjoys working a 100-hour week and has twice suggested we should ‘nuke Mars’, while Grimes claimed their son, named X Æ A-Xii, enjoyed ‘radical art’ by the time he was five months old. After three years together, though, Elon has confirmed the pair’s split. He gave a statement to the New York Post , explaining that he and Grimes were ‘semi-separated’, adding, ‘We still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms.’ The term ‘semi-separated’ was likened to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s ‘conscious uncoupling’ of 2014 – perhaps because both are a bit of a cop out. Either you’ve split up…

PHOTOS: GETTY EARLIER THIS MONTH, after more than 112,000 people signed our petition asking for childcare reform, Grazia’s call for an independent review of the UK’s childcare system reached Westminster. MPs such as Stella Creasy, who attended with her baby, spoke in support of our campaign, run with our parenting platform The Juggle and Pregnant Then Screwed. ‘That’s a campaign people in the UK should back,’ says Indra Nooyi, one of the world’s most powerful female business leaders. Affordable, high-quality childcare is essential, she says, because ‘for a country to be successful and prosper anyone who wants to engage in paid work should have the opportunity to do so.’ Indra, 65, knows a thing or two about juggling parenthood and a career. Her own ascent, detailed in her new memoir,…

THE LAST TIME I saw Pernille Teisbaek in person was during Paris Fashion Week at the Nina Ricci show in February 2020. Just weeks into the year and I had already run into her on the fashion week circuit in Copenhagen and New York. But by Paris the temperature had changed, the chatter about this virus going around was becoming louder. We did an awkward should-weshouldn’t-we hug greeting (we didn’t), but nevertheless I assumed I’d see her somewhere in a few months when the merry-go-round of shows came around again. Back then, Zooming was just what you did between shows. I don’t need to tell you what happened next. So how did Pernille, by this point a front-row fixture, feel when the circus stopped? She was lucky, she says, in…

THERE ARE WOMEN, I have heard, who take a disciplined approach to getting dressed. Their clothes aren’t piled on a chair until it topples over, they are yet to use bathroom steam as a substitute for ironing and when they wear white it stays white. I am not one of those women. But in the middle of the Venn diagram of utter chaos (me) and serene restraint (them), is a shared appreciation of classics. Theirs are probably pristine and hung more neatly than mine, but nevertheless we are both familiar with the joy of old faithfuls. As I get older, and more comfortable both in my own skin and my own style, I am inclined to divide classics into subcategories. There are the trad-classics, the obvious go-tos like the ones…

THE GLITTERATI (literally) – including Ramla Ali, Vanessa Kirby and Lily Collins – were out in force in Berlin at a dinner to celebrate Cartier’s Clash de Cartier. Paul Mescal was also there, raising the question: has he upgraded his famous chain? ARM CANDY incoming. If you’ve not managed to get your hands on one of Supriya Lele’s strappy tops or thong trousers yet, try this. The designer has translated her playfully sexy aesthetic to a colourful collection of Swatch watches. £104, swatch.com AS PART OF ITS 50th anniversary celebrations, Mulberry has joined forces with Richard Malone. Reinterpreting the Bayswater and Darley, expect poppy designs with sustainable credentials – like the ‘leather’ made from cereal waste. From £110, mulberry.com THE ONE TIME it’s unfashionable to be (too) late is when…

OF ALL THE MYRIAD unexpected and surreal moments in the past two years, reading ‘Jane Fonda is in the waiting room’ is by some distance the most welcome. The 83-year-old L’Oréal Paris ambassador and bona fide iconic star of Barbarella, Klute, 9 To 5 and Netflix smash Grace And Frankie is Zooming me from her home in Los Angeles and waiting at my virtual door to chat all things beauty. She sits in a stripy Breton top, behind a reassuringly lived-in desk, surrounded by photographs and oil paintings, looking absolutely sensational and more like a Hollywood movie star than any other I’ve ever interviewed. “BEAUTY REMINDS OLDER WOMEN THAT WE’RE NOT DONE YET” Fresh from the Grazia photo shoot, Fonda is flawless – all dark, smoky eyes and snatched cheekbones…

OUR LOVE OF houseplants shows no sign of abating and, as the weather cools and outdoor spaces become less welcoming places to linger, greenery inside the home becomes even more important for that connection to nature. When upping the green factor, it’s tempting to stick to popular favourites, but we suggest swapping in one of these new and gorgeous plants for an exciting update. LOVE THE SPIDER PLANT? TRY TRADESCANTIA NANOUK Another ’70s favourite making a huge comeback, its small leaves have a shiny appearance with an underside that’s purple. It grows fast too and is perfect for hanging pots. £4.99, Happy Houseplants LOVE FIDDLE LEAF FIG?
