This one time, at Fashion Week, I sat next (read: near) to Olivia Palermo. Style royalty she most certainly is; even in a sea of celebs, she’s always one of the most in-demand stars come Fashion Month. And although Liv put on a very impressive display during LFW, little did she know there was a lady set to steal her thunder: the Queen. During her reign, we’re sure Her Maj has experienced many firsts, but it wasn’t until last week that she graced London Fashion Week with her presence. The show in question? Richard Quinn, who the Queen then awarded an inaugural prize for British Design. Of course, Lizzie wasn’t plonked next to some buyer’s assistant – she was sat in her own £200 Philippe Starck ‘Ghost’ chair next to…

Mulberry’s Muse There’s something magical about a collection that’s not only shown in our fair capital, but also embraces everything quintessentially British, and Mulberry’s AW18 collection – much like our acclaimed literary history – was hopelessly romantic. With a palace for a backdrop, the capsule was a flurry of garden party frocks, seaside deck-chair stripes and Wedgewood-worthy porcelain prints. Add to this new arm candy in punchy hues, haute heirloom jewels and a collaboration with renowned milliner Noel Steward, and it’s not hard to see who Mulberry’s creative director Johnny Coca is keen to impress. ‘I’d like to see women wear these for the wedding of Meghan and Harry,’ he said. Well, as soon as our invite arrives (any day now), we’ll put in our order. But why wait? Mulberry’s…

“Her New York show has lifted her spirits” Victoria Beckham has a track record of tackling issues head-on. But this time, she’s outdone herself, taking control of the last few weeks and coming out on top. According to an insider, the weeks leading up to NYFW were tough. But, after her hit show, it seems Vic has got her groove back. As Look reported last week, Vic’s been dealing with a lot – including news that her business suffered an £8.4m loss last year. But it seems her AW18 show in New York a couple of weeks ago has silenced the critics. To celebrate the brand’s 10th anniversary, Vic went back to basics, ditching a catwalk of 450 guests for two presentations with 90 attendees. ‘I wanted to change up…

Raise your hand if you’re ready for spring. Yep, us too. While the weather’s still playing catch-up, this hot new collection is here to kick things into gear from our outfit’s point of view. We’ve brought Brit brand House of Sunny to your attention before, but after seeing its SS18 offering, we knew it was time to reinstate it in our pages. Essentially, it creates designer-worthy clothes that are affordable – so much so, you’ll find them on the rails in Topshop. So, now we’ve got your undivided attention, it’s time to tell you why this new drop is so dreamy. Polka dots, gingham and stripes are key for the new season, but it’s the attention to detail – cleverly placed ruching, sleek ties and flattering wraps – that takes…

Until recently, I definitely didn’t drink enough water. Nowhere near enough. I could survive on one black coffee until 10pm, then I’d get a sudden thirst and down a pint of water. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommends that women drink two litres of water per day, with men needing slightly more. As a beauty editor, it’s been drilled into me that good skin is linked to good hydration, and I’ve had enough UTIs, night cramps and general lethargy to realise that my body often cries out from dehydration. Part of my job is paying attention to those stars with stellar skin – one particular lady being Elle Macpherson, who has incredibly youthful-looking skin for her 50 years. Her secret? She drinks a gallon of water a day. Armed…

NEWSFLASH! We can’t wait to see who’s wearing what at this year’s Oscars. Tune into E! on 4 March for all the red carpet coverage! What’s the story? When Russian pro ballerina Dominika suffers a career-ending injury, she’s forced into life as a spy. Under the guidance of her creepy uncle, she’s sent to Sparrow School – a torturous place that aims to teach her how to use her body as a weapon. Her first mission is to seduce a US agent and reveal his contacts – can Dominika use the situation to protect herself and her mother? Who’s in it? Jennifer Lawrence takes the lead as Dominika, alongside Joel Edgerton, Charlotte Rampling and Mary-Louise Parker. Why should I care? Not for the faint-hearted, J-Law makes James Bond look chilled.…

“She’s looking for calm and a fresh start” A lot has happened to Jennifer Lawrence over the past year, and although it was an announcement we were expecting, we’re still sad to hear that the star is reportedly taking a year off from acting. As Look recently reported, J-Law wants to focus on other projects. ‘I’m going to take the next year off,’ revealed Jen. ‘I’m going to be working with this organisation as a part of Represent.Us, trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.’ Since the announcement, a representative for J-Law has revealed that she will return to acting once an upcoming project is ready to go. But while the 27-year-old is said to have some impressive charity work lined up, a source speaking exclusively…

Rose gold hair might have been around for a while, but it’s about to make a big resurgence. Google searches for the rosy shade have risen by 140 per cent in the past month (currently only 1 per cent of Brits have tried the hue), meaning we’re about to see a rose gold rush. But, luckily for us, there are plenty of box colour shades available. Whether it’s a semi-permanent shade or instant wash-out colour, here’s how to get the hue at home… Adorn Your ’Do With Some Rose Gold Accessories…

Are you juggling work, family commitments and a social life? Is exercise also part of your hectic schedule? If you answered yes to any of the above, you’re a Gibson Girl. The collection is tailored to fit exactly that lifestyle, and the likes of Look Influencer and supervlogger Lydia Elise Millen wear it.

“Liam wanted to go all-out at the BRITs” 'No one cares who’s been speculatively arguing or not in their relationships…use your platform to put something productive in your columns,’ wrote Cheryl. ‘I opened a centre this week that could help thousands of youth!!!!...Oh and your “stunt” theories are just ludicrous and a bit weird.’ It’s the news that nobody wanted to hear, but last week, rumours emerged that Cheryl and Liam Payne were holding crisis talks to save their two-year relationship, with reports that Liam had even sought legal advice. After days of alleged tension and tabloid newspapers reporting the rumours, the star took to Twitter and had her say. It’s understood that Cheryl, 34 and Liam, 24, have been going through a rocky patch. While the reasons why are…

These days, more and more of us are prone to sensitive skin (thanks, pollution, product build-up etc). And with oversensitivity comes reactions to harsher products like retinol and chemical exfoliants. But, just because our skin struggles to tolerate them, it doesn’t mean we don’t need them. Exfoliants like AHAs and glycolic acid have been hailed as heroes when it comes to a whole host of concerns like pigmentation, acne scarring and uneven texture. Most people can use them without much issue, but for the subset who can’t, they can cause uncomfortable side effects. Recently, however, smarter acids have been discovered, promising the same results without the aggro, and they’re called PHAs… WHAT ARE PHAS? Think of them as AHAs’ less aggressive siblings, PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) work just like AHAs, increasing…

Naturally, a model is going to look incredible in any outfit, but when we saw gorgeous Kate – who, like us, embraces her curves – as the new face of Lipsy’s SS18 drop, we listened up. From flattering frocks to swimwear so good you’ll be counting down the days to summer, we’re getting all the outfit inspo we need. Style the floral jumpsuit with platforms and layered gold necklaces, or team the lilac dress with nude accessories for a wedding. While the trench is the perfect trans-seasonal piece to wear now, we’ll be stocking up on Lipsy’s swimwear for our hols. All we need now is Kate’s body……

Say the words ‘Chiara Ferragni’ or ‘The Blonde Salad’ (the name of her blog) to any fashion-obsessed friend, and they’ll know exactly who you’re talking about. The style maven’s been working hard at the influencer game since 2009, when she started her blog while doing a law degree. Since then, Chiara’s written a book, modelled for several brands, collaborated with countless more and, this year, became CEO of her very own brand, TBS Crew Srl. Her next adventure? Motherhood. Chiara, 30, and her fiancé, rapper Fedez, are expecting their first child this month. You and model Gisele Bündchen are in this new lingerie campaign, ‘Inside and Out’, which aims to sell underwear without showing it. What do you think the impact of this strategy could be on society? I love…

“Beauty companies are touting it as a potent anti-ager” It may not be a new ingredient, but it’s one that’s cropping up more and more in skincare – which has prompted us to question, what makes gold so good for our skin? Sometimes we feel a bit like magpies – gold has always represented wealth, which might be why we gravitate towards it. Beauty companies are touting it as a potent anti-ager, and we’re seeing it more and more in masks, serums and moisturisers – all claiming to reduce inflammation, brighten dark spots and smooth wrinkles. Sounds pretty great, but is it backed by science? Dr Frauke Neuser, principle scientist for Olay Skincare, P&G, is a little sceptical. ‘I haven’t seen any robust data or published studies demonstrating the benefit…

Becca Backlight Priming Filter, £32 ‘This really is the best! It’s a gorgeous consistency, really helps your foundation to stay put all day, and gives skin a beautiful, radiant glow. A staple in my make-up bag.’ @meganroselane Nars Radiance Primer SPF 35, £27 ‘This is such a classic. I’ve been using primer for as long as I can remember – it’s always the first step in my make-up routine after I’ve applied my moisturiser. I love that this is oil-free, so it doesn’t make me break out, and the pearly finish instantly perks up tired skin.’ @rosiefortescue Cover FX Illuminating Primer, £30 ‘My skin can get quite dry, especially during winter, so I need a hydrating primer that gives a bit of a glow. With vitamins E and C, this…

A-Head Of The Game Gucci caused a stir in Milan by sending models down the runway with their own severed heads. Others carried dragons, making for a Game Of Thrones- style show. Too much? Nah. Dragons are sooo 2019, hun. Lash Goals F.Lashes have created LED eyelashes – like normal fakies, but waaay more glam. They come with a teeny battery you attach to your head. Apparently, they are safe, but we’ll be giving them a miss. £15.68, Fulfillair.com Gin-credible We’ve not had Parma Violets for years, then comes Sweet Violet Gin Liqueur, made by Zymurgorium Manchester.
