Graziaの Issue 830 の目次

THERE’S NO ONE who knows how to reinvent herself better than Victoria Beckham. And now, her latest chapter is all about the body. For her business, that means the launch of an affordable, size-inclusive, capsule collection centred around what she calls ‘sucky-sucky dresses’ – which bear more than a passing resemblance to that famous Posh Spice LBD. But, as VB reveals in our exclusive shoot and interview, the collection’s evolution was personal: a reflection of her changing attitudes towards shape and sex appeal. On page 66, she talks about winning over her doubters, workouts with David, and what it’s like seeing her kids fly the nest. I hope you enjoy the issue. @hattie_brett  feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

Let’s celebrate Deborah James’ powerful legacy “ Our hearts go out to Deborah James, aka Bowelbabe, cancer campaigner and co-host of the You, Me And The Big C podcast. She’s raised millions for Cancer Research UK after revealing she is receiving end-of-life care following a five-year battle with bowel cancer. ‘Even in her darkest hours, our Deb shines brightest,’ podcast co-host Lauren Mahon said. Deborah, 40, has helped countless people with her fight to end the stigma around bowel cancer and creation of an incredible support community. Join us, if you can, in donating to the Bowelbabe Fund* to help raise money for lifesaving research – and in raising a glass to an inspirational woman. ” *DONATE AT: J USTGIVING.COM/CAMPAIGN/BOWELBABEFUND…

1. Up NCUTI GATWA We’re about as interested in Who’s the New Dr Who as we are WTN James Bond (ie not at all), but we adored this ray of sunshine in human form in Sex Education, so commend the casting. 2. New in WILLIAM JACKSON HARPER Taking the reins from Anna Kendrick for season two of the jolly Love Life (BBC Three, iPlayer); we also commend this casting. 3. Up ELLIE WHITE & LAUREN SOCHA It’s a while since we’ve witnessed the birth of such stupendous double-act energy, as showcased in The Other One (BBC One), the classic yet modern and totally excellent sitcom. 4. New in ROISIN GALLAGHER Shiv in The Dry (BritBox), an unexpected, bittersweet and twinkly star of a comedy about addiction, faltering recovery, and the…

PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK IT IS THE whodunnit that has held our attention for almost three years, a tale of two warring Wags with all the twists of a period drama. Now, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy have finally duked it out in court. Coleen – in (one) Gucci loafer and a Zara dress, Rebekah in a cinched Edeline Lee dress – refused to look at each other. Rarely outside of scripted drama is a rivalry so neatly framed. But what’s striking about this saga is that the competition between Coleen and Rebekah that landed them in court may have, in the past, pushed them to succeed. Everyone needs a nemesis. Then 20-year-old Coleen McLoughlin’s star turn in the stands at the 2006 World Cup in Germany led to columns in…

PHOTOS: SHUTTERSTOCK EVER SINCE REALITY TV’s genesis in 1971 with An American Family (which featured divorced parents and a gay son, who sadly later died of a hepatitis C and an HIV co-infection), controversy has hummed in the background. In the last few years, the rumbles have turned into roars. Kirk Norcross said that appearing on TOWIE turned him into a ‘suicidal monster’, while 2011 X Factor contestant Misha B said she suffered from PTSD after experiencing racist treatment on the show. Four people associated with Love Island, including its beloved presenter, Caroline Flack, have taken their own lives. In order to create Unreal: A Critical History Of Reality TV, our 10-part audio documentary for BBC Radio 4, the journalist Sirin Kale and I rewatched hundreds (and I mean hundreds)…

Psychotherapist Emma Reed Turrell, co-host of the podcast Best Friend Therapy with Elizabeth Day, shares her checklist for your fifth decade. ■ Marie-Kondo your ‘shoulds’: identify what you want to keep and ditch what no longer serves you. ■ Experiencing a fashion crisis? The answer is to experiment – give yourself the freedom to find things that might suit who you’re becoming, not who you’ve been. ■ Unless we lower our expectations of ourselves and account for the realities of grown-up life, we can come away with the misconception that we’re failing. Remember that comparisons to how we think we should be feeling create insecurity. ■ Don’t aim for perfection but look for perfect moments instead – an impromptu catch-up with a friend, a coffee in peace and quiet, a…

A SPANISH JOURNALIST recently asked me why I’m trans. That’s a bit like asking someone why they’re blonde, or can play the piano. ‘I just came out of the egg that way,’ I said. The concept of being non-binary didn’t exist when I was a kid in the 1980s, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t exactly what I was, and still am. In those days, the umbrella term was ‘tomboy’. I was always the prince in the school play, dressed in a red velvet cape and gold paper crown. I loathed girly clothes, was allergic to flounces and lace, and preferred stomping around in a boy’s green flannel shirt and navy sweater, my hair cropped. I knew I was different, but didn’t have the language to articulate it. Instead, I…

VALÉRIE MESSIKA FOUNDER OF MESSIKA When Beyoncé visited the Mona Lisa, she posted a picture of her manicured nails in front of its frame. On her middle finger was a ring by Messika: white-gold with two bands of pavé diamonds. ‘It was like a dream come true,’ says Valérie Messika, the brand’s founder, who learned the tricks of the trade from her father, the diamond merchant André Messika, and grew up in Paris. ‘My earliest memory was my father playing with diamonds around the table in the living room.’ He would quiz her about which was the most beautiful in her eyes and why; a childhood game that gave her an appreciation for the stones and how they felt against her skin. In her early twenties, having travelled the world…

After the success of Grazia’s inaugural Interiors Awards last year, we’ve expanded them this time to create our Top 50 Homewares, so we can celebrate the products we love across all rooms of the home. With so many exciting interiors launches, designer collaborations and classic pieces out there, choosing our favourite products was tricky. But after hours of deliberation, these are the ones that we rate for being super-stylish, beautiful, original and, when they have to be, useful too. LIVING ROOM 1.

Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk ■ Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK UNDERSTAND AMBER For victims of domestic violence the ordeal is life-changing (New low as TikTok turns Amber and Johnny abuse claims into fun memes;16 May). Society is becoming more aware but no one talks about reactive abuse. When you have been pushed, degraded and disrespected you get to the stage where you can’t take it any more and lash out. Suddenly, you become the abuser. Another thing they can use against you. Abuse victims are not more or less perfect then anyone else. Lucinda VICTIMS ARE FAILED I agree with Alice Liveing (We need to talk about the mental health impact of domestic abuse, 2 May). I experienced PTSD while in and after a…

EVEN FOR ME – a journalist who writes about abortion rights a lot – two columns in the same month could seem excessive. Oh, if only it were! I write this (the second, the first being about Poland) in the aftermath of a leaked draft of a US Supreme Court proposal calling for the reversal of Roe versus Wade: the 1973 landmark legal precedent that gives the women of America the constitutional right to seek an abortion. If this proposal proceeds, by current estimates nearly half US states will outlaw abortion instantly. To someone like me, who believes safe, legal (ideally, free) access to abortion is the foundation on which all other women’s rights are built – that without it, we really have no serious shot at equality, not so…

‘Where The Crawdads Sing’ by Delia Owens Daisy Edgar-Jones plays heroine Kya in the Reese Witherspoon-produced film adaptation, in cinemas 15 July. In North Carolina, Kya – who has fended for herself since she was a child – finds herself engulfed in a murder trial. ‘Mrs Harris Goes To Paris’ by Paul Gallico Made in partnership with Dior, the film adaptation of this charming, funny 1958 novel promises to be the ultimate costume drama. Out 30 September, Lesley Manville stars as Cockney cleaning lady Mrs Harris, whose heart is set on owning a Dior couture gown. ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ by Taylor Jenkins Following the highs and lows of a fictional ’70s rock band, the 10-part series, shot documentary style, premieres on Amazon Prime this autumn.

IT IS NINE YEARS since the model Emily Ratajkowski became famous off the back of the video for Robin Thicke’s hit song Blurred Lines. The debate that song ignited – about consent and rape culture and the nature of sexiness – raged on through the intervening near-decade, defining Emily’s star as it ascended. She rode – continues to ride – the row deftly, embracing the nuances around it, making both a quasi-feminist statement and a highly lucrative brand identity of it. She wrote a book about it, My Body (‘a portrait of the tension between objectification and empowerment’, according to The Atlantic), launched a swimwear line and built an influential social media presence, one that has merged so completely with her public identity, she’s now more commonly known by her…

ALITTLE AFTER 10am on a Thursday morning in Paris this March, a particularly good-looking party is in full swing in an unassuming, industrial area of Saint-Denis. In the middle of the action, It-girl belles of the ball – the Hadid sisters, Lila Moss and Paloma Elsesser among them – strut their stuff, as fabulously dressed as they are full of attitude. Like the best bashes, the soundtrack is pumping and the guests jubilant; here, however, they are confined to bopping in their seats, and leave considerably more energised and less bleary-eyed than when they arrived. The event? Not, in fact, a party (officially) but the Coperni autumn/winter 2022 show. To pack out a morning-slot show at the tail end of fashion month is itself an achievement not to be sniffed…

PHOTOS: MAX FACTOR AS YEARS GO, 2022 is set to be a vintage one for Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The global star welcomed her first child with music star Nick Jonas, her husband of three years, via a surrogate in January and will celebrate her 40th birthday in July. Her new Prime Video series, Citadel, is set for release later this year, a big-budget spy drama starring Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci, which Priyanka spent a large portion of 2021 filming in the UK. As well as her gruelling filming schedule, in 2021 Priyanka launched a haircare line, Anomaly, available in the US (‘Good, environmentally-friendly products were missing from the market, so I set out to create a sustainable haircare brand’) and published her memoir, Unfinished, now a New York Times…

WORK INEQUALITY Beware the women’s work trap (16 May) made me more aware of how much women are asked to pick up ‘invisible tasks’. In a meeting my manager brought up a project that was time-consuming, unlikely to drive revenue and on which you probably wouldn’t be recognised and looked pointedly at me, one of only two women, waiting for me to volunteer. Feeling uncomfortable, I finally said, ‘OK.’ When women do non-promotable tasks it means they shoulder the bulk of unpaid work at home and take on ‘office housework’. It’s totally unfair.…

PHOTOS: GETTY ROMMEL DEMANO/ BFA.COM, ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY/INSTAGRA , M, SPLASH ONE OF THE PERKS of being a famous person is that brands will inundate you with free swag. The expensive stuff, too. If you are a celebrity, or someone deemed to be influential, the £500 creams and £2,000 handbags will come rolling in. And when every airport terminal or coffee run is a potential publicity opportunity, you might even get paid to use and wear it. Don’t @ me – it’s business. It begs the question: if you were one of them, would you ever wear high street again? A resounding yes is the answer if the A-list’s fondness for Mango is anything to go by (and they are not, by the way, paid to wear it). Just look at…

BLACK AFICIONADOS, rejoice – after months of eye-watering ‘dopamine dressing’ we’re going back to the dark side as the humble LBD quietly stages a comeback. ‘One is never overdressed or underdressed in a little black dress,’ said the late, great Karl Lagerfeld. He wasn’t wrong: the go-anywhere, suits-all properties of the LBD are being rediscovered as women are dressing for a summer well-lived; back in the office, but also back out – pubs, restaurants, weddings, parties, the odd date and so on. There’s an LBD (that’s both Little and Long Black Dress) for all.Net-A-Porter concurs. According to the retail behemoth, it’s still their top-performing colour and their biggest investment – the online store has bought 700 black dress options for every shape, size, aesthetic and beyond for next season alone.…

PHOTOS: INSTAGRAM/@ITSBRITTERONTOP/@LAMUSE3D, TIKTOK/@KENDONUTS, XR COUTURE WHEN BRITT WILLIAMS was styling looks for a recent trip through the American south-west, she knew she wanted to wear couture. ‘I wanted this cool, wizardy, energy-queen vibe,’ says Britt, an LA-based fashion consultant who’s worked with The Row and Thom Browne. For a hike in Sedona, Arizona, she wore a shimmery, space-goddess gown. She peered over the rim of the Grand Canyon wearing a glass-look trench. And in the middle of the Mojave desert, she jumped for joy in a bulbous balloon dress. Except that she didn’t. IRL, Britt spent most of the trip in leggings and yoga tops. Everything else was a digital design, custom-fitted to her photos for her to share online. ‘I was creating fashion campaigns on every hike,’ she says.…

AS TOLD TO LOTTE JEFFS 1 Learn to revel in the moment. Before I did Strictly Come Dancing, Daisy Lowe – who’d been on the show – told me, ‘It will be over before you know it. Just enjoy it.’ But I was so nervous about how I was going to come across on TV, I didn’t fully revel in the experience – and I wish I had! Now I try to apply her advice to everything I do. It’s important to take stock of what’s happening in the present. 2 Embrace the things that make you ‘weird’. I was very academic and quite geeky when I started out in my career. I assumed that wasn’t a good look for a youth presenter, so I tried to hide that part…
