My friend J is struggling with a BREAK-UP . I bump into him in London’s overpriced Soho. He looks like a man in desperate need of a hug ; I give him one, and he doesn’t object (for once). ‘What stage you at, Boo?’ I soothe. ‘The bit where I can’t stop having epiphanies and I’m. So. Tired,’ he mumbles into the plaid shoulder of my new double-breasted blazer (£89, & Other Stories). ‘Ah, yes; the 17th stage of break-up,’ I say, sagely. I hug him tighter, because I know, from experience, that nothing is more knackering than freakin’ epiphanies. They’re a grand idea, in theory. One moment, you’re floundering in the dark, spiritually speaking, stubbing your metaphorical toes on shit and sad and pain. The next, you find this…

THE BIRTH OF THE Duchess of Cambridge’s third child was extraordinary. Just hours after Prince Louis’ delivery, Kate faced the world’s press following a five-hour labour looking ready for duty, rather than a woman who had just delivered one of the biggest babies in royal history. How ironic, then, that the hope for the new prince, who changed royal history the second he was born (he won’t leapfrog his older sister in the line of succession), is that he will live an ordinary life. William and Kate have gone to great lengths to create normal lives for their family. When the Duke of Cambridge took Charlotte and George to meet their new brother last week, it was an extremely rare public appearance. After his own first photo call outside the…

. PHOTOS: SHUTTERSTOCK, SPLASH NEWS THE DETAILS WERE enough to send a shiver down your spine. Last week, an intruder smashed a window at Taylor Swift’s New York apartment, took a shower in her bathroom and slept in her bed before he was found by police. Roger Alvarado, 22, was charged with burglary, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing and stalking. Just a week earlier, another man was arrested outside the singer’s LA home on suspicion of stalking. Julius Sandrock, 38, was masked and found to have a knife, ammunition, rope and gloves in his car. Mercifully Taylor, 28, wasn’t at home for either incident (she has yet to move into her SoHo townhouse in New York). Yet it seems there is a far more sinister picture. Kris Herzog, the celebrity bodyguard…

SHOPPING: FENELLA WEBB. PHOTOS: GETTY THERE HAVE ALWAYS been affordable suits. What there haven’t always been are great suits. Too fusty! Too frumpy! Too shiny! Affordable trouser suit offerings have always tended to be more eek than chic. But as designers’ taste for tailoring shows no sign of waning (last week, Net-A-Porter’s retail fashion director Lisa Aiken reported that, due to customer demand, the e-com giant has increased its tailoring category by 50%), this season, finally, the high street is catching up and nailing tailoring. Enter the new super-suiting that proves you don’t have to spend serious money to look seriously stylish. This spring, the high street is calling time on boxy blazers and ill-fitting trousers and ushering in new silhouettes that feel modern and sharp, without being severe. Think…

PHOTO: GETTY I’VE LOST COUNT of the number of times I’ve been on the receiving end of mansplaining. It’s not that the men involved were malicious, exactly… rather, it was an unconscious sense of confidence that let them express their opinions with unqualified ease, while I nervously proffered views couched in layers of mitigation: ‘I just think… but maybe it’s… oh, I’m sure you’re right, but…’ A few years ago, on a work trip to Northern Ireland, the photographer on our drive started holding forth on the history of the Northern Irish Troubles. ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘I actually grew up here, so…’ ‘And then,’ he continued, as if he hadn’t heard me, ‘there was the Good Friday Agreement…’ I had, in fact, lived in precisely the area he was talking…

Q ‘I haven’t a clue how to act like an extrovert at work rather than the introvert I naturally am. Being sociable and confident with coworkers and clients is vital, but I’m riddled with nerves trying to string sentences together, leaving me exhausted and plunging me into isolation come the evening. How can I learn to be naturally extrovert?’ ELEANOR SAYS: A question: do you really believe the key to feeling better about yourself at work and more confident generally is a complete personality overhaul? You use the word ‘naturally’ twice, which to me says you have a good understanding of what makes you you. It also suggests that you feel changing your nature is what’s needed here. Is it? Historically in psychology, the traits of extroversion and introversion were…

PHOTOS: @THEASHLEYGRAHAM, SPLASH, PHOTOSHOT, @BELLATHORNE, XPOSURE STORIES ABOUT MYSTERIOUS beings beneath the waves are nothing new, but this year we seem to have reached peak mer-fever. 2018 has already seen the publication of The Mermaid And Mrs Hancock, Imogen Hermes Gowar’s acclaimed debut about a merchant in Georgian London who sells his ship for a sea creature, and The Pisces by Melissa Broder, a surreally sexy story about a student’s affair with a merman. In March, Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape Of Water – in which Sally Hawkins has sex with a fish-like sea god – won the Oscar for Best Picture. There are plans in place for a live-action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, with songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, while Channing Tatum is set to star in a…

PHOTO: BRIAN FLAHERTY. VIEW POINT Pacchanta, Peru About three hours’ drive south from Cusco, along the rough-and-ready road that connects the town of Tinki with the village of Pacchanta, you’ll suddenly see the stunning vista of Ausangate Mountain. Ausangate Trek in the Cordillera Vilcanota mountain range is an incredible experience, taking in snow-capped peaks, deep-blue lakes, and villages with grazing llamas and alpacas. You’ll also see the magical ‘Rainbow Mountain’ – so called for its mix of colours, from terracotta reds to gold, lavender and turquoise, caused by different layers of ancient sediment. Unforgettable.…

THE THIRD ELEMENT in the golden triumvirate of must-see Danish TV is The Bridge, which sprang out of a bleak Copenhagen industrial estate in the city over a decade ago. This week, it enters its home stretch. Bluff heroine Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) drives a swishy vintage motor, wears leather pants and has an autism diagnosis. The part was drawn from the rangy gene-pool of her brilliant emotional predecessors: The Killing’s Sarah Lund and Borgen’s Birgitte Nyborg. These women’s richly real lives anchored the wild dramatic excesses of their shows’ story arcs. You followed them through preposterous serial killings to the upper echelons of parliament because you felt as they felt. All three are performances of the very highest calibre. We greet Saga at the beginning of season 4, slipping…

No Country For Young Women Comedians and friends Sadia Azmat and Monty Onanuga dive into what it’s like for British Asian and black women to navigate a white world. They aren’t shy of talking about absolutely everything, sharing awkward secrets and getting into the details of life, love and work. Keep It Pop culture king Ira Madison III meets with comedians, journalists, actors, musicians, activists and politicians for a conversation at the intersection of pop culture and politics, at a time when we’re all obsessing over both. PHOTOS: GETTY Slow Burn We all think we know the story of Watergate, but do you really? This podcast looks at what it was like to live through a scandal that brought down a President – and asks, if we were living through…

ON THE MONÁE about sexuality THE MAGNIFICENT Janelle Monáe has come out as pansexual (being attracted to someone regardless of their sexuality or gender identity). She said, ‘I want young girls, young boys, non-binary, gay, straight, queer people who are having a hard time dealing with their sexuality, dealing with feeling ostracised or bullied… to know that I see you.’ No word, though, on her romantic status with actress Tessa Thompson. FASHION’S FINEST are f ighting f it BALENCIAGA is still the hottest brand in the world, Off-White is now a bonafide luxury powerhouse and Vetements isn’t going anywhere, according to the latest instalment of the Lyst Index, the quarterly report compiled by the global fashion search engine and the Business of Fashion.

PHOTO: GETTY THIS WEEK, A SUPERHERO rules the cinema. We’re not talking about a lycra-clad, super-powered Avenger. No, the superhero rocking our world is mother-of-three Marlo, played by Charlize Theron in Tully. In her second collaboration with writer Diablo Cody (their first being the underrated Young Adult), Charlize plays exhausted (and we mean exhausted, not I’ve-been-out-three-times-this-week-andgot-up-for-yoga exhausted) Marlo, whose wealthy brother gifts her a night nanny – the titular Tully (Mackenzie Davis). This film isn’t just about motherhood – it’s about mental health, the sexism of emotional labour, coming to terms with getting older, the complexities of grown-up life and wrestling with what it is to be the perfect woman to all parties. It will surprise you, make you laugh and cry. But ultimately we love the uncensored and unapologetic…

Last week, Kanye West returned to Twitter with a bang, firing off 151 incessant tweets, including a series of pro-Trump posts. In one, he wrote: ‘You don’t have to agree with Trump, but the mob can’t make me not love him.’ Within minutes, this allegedly lost him nine million followers (Twitter has denied it was that many). Now, we’re obviously not Trump supporters, but do we really want to erase people from our feeds the second they support someone we disagree with? Only following those whose views align with our own means more people living in political echo chambers – something that led to Trump’s presidential win in the first place.…

WHEN KATE emerged from St Mary’s Hospital to introduce the new prince to the world, she did so in a bespoke Jenny Packham dress, nude heels and freshly blow-dried hair. She looked immaculate – and just seven hours after giving birth. The debate about whether this is a ‘realistic’ image to set for young mothers is somewhat redundant – Kate does not live a ‘realistic’ life; nor can one woman be expected to be an archetype of new motherhood. She has legions of staff, including a glam squad on hand in the maternity ward. Part of her role as a royal, rightly or wrongly, is to be camera-ready. Kate was never going to leave the Lindo Wing in pyjamas and slippers. There’s a marked difference between clothes that are comfortable…

PHOTOS: CHANEL, MARCO VITTUR ‘I LOVE A RED EYE,’ declares world-renowned make-up artist Lucia Pica. And no, not the flight path, but the make-up look that most embodies her inimitable beauty style – irrevocably cool, artfully refined, and with an edge that keeps the world coming back for more. In fact, since being appointed Chanel’s global creative make-up and colour designer in 2014, Lucia has revolutionised your make-up bag without you even knowing it. Chanel’s Poudre À Lèvres, £31 (a powder lipstick that saturates your lips with matte colour, minus the chalky effect), Palette Essentielle, £52 (a three-in-one face palette with coverage, highlighter and colour) and Les 4 Ombres Candeur Et Expérience, £44 (including her signature red eyeshadow) are all her doing. ‘I like to throw myself in the deep…

IT WAS OCTOBER 2013. I was on a train going home, a few days after my life with my beautiful husband had shattered. Rob, a journalist, had just told me he’d been harbouring a secret heroin addiction for three years. I knew he hadn’t been well, but I didn’t connect the dots because he also had chronic depression, and a lot of the symptoms overlap. In-between berating myself for how naive and stupid I was, I remember a moment of clarity, where I thought: ‘Hang on, but what did I ever learn, growing up, to prepare me for this?’ And next, in common with anyone who has had their world tossed about by a hurricane of trauma: ‘What the hell do I do now ?’ This would be a question…

So I wasn’t surprised to hear, via TMZ, that Khloé Kardashian reportedly delivered her daughter, True, in the presence of mum Kris, best friend Malika, sisters Kourtney and Kim (who held Khloé’s leg, because Khloé held hers during her labour – it’s a whole leg-labour thing) and even baby-daddy Tristan, despite ill-timed cheating rumours. When I was pregnant (and freaking out), I found…

LETTER OF THE WEEK A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY I couldn’t disagree more with Hannah Jane Parkinson (Gen Y: can’t we catch a break?; 30 April). Yes, life is different now. My dad (a baby boomer) now owns his modest home outright and has some savings, but he had to start work at 15 in a foundry – backbreaking work and for lunch every single day for 50 years he had a jam sandwich, Wagon Wheel and flask of tea. No trips to Pret for him. Contrast that to me at 20 – at uni, planning to travel, my focus firmly on having fun. We have so many opportunities now. Stop pitting our lives against other generations; we have the freedom to do and be whatever we want and enjoy experiences…

KATIE NICHOLL’S NEW BOOK ‘HARRY: LIFE, LOSS AND LOVE’ IS OUT NOW. PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, PA PHOTOS The Duchess of Cambridge’s stylist Natasha Archer (below) was seen at the hospital on 23 April and has been credited for getting Kate to ditch the high street and align herself with British designers such as Jenny Packham, Alexander McQueen and Catherine Walker. Also at the Lindo Wing was Kate’s hairdresser, Amanda Cook Tucker. Kate kept in shape throughout her pregnancy with regular swims at Buckingham Palace and yoga classes at Kensington Palace. She is now already back to juicing and drinking nutritious smoothies – after all, she now has less than a month to get camera-ready for the royal wedding!…

PHOTOS: MAGGIE SHANNON, GETTY IMAGES WHEN JAMEELA JAMIL, the former T4 presenter-turned-unlikely star of a hit US sitcom, posted an innocuous photo on Instagram annotated with the things she liked about herself, she never intended to kick-start a revolution. But in the weeks since, thousands of women have followed suit, posting their own photos with attributes about the careers they love, the families they cherish and the diseases and mental health struggles they have overcome. Like Jameela, who had written, ‘I weigh: lovely relationship, great friends, I laugh every day, I love my job’, none of them mentioned physical attributes or their weight. Last week, I Weigh, now an Instagram account in its own right, which Jameela describes as a ‘museum of self-worth’, hit a staggering 22,000 followers. Meanwhile, the…

IF LAST WINTER’S unlikely style hero was the geography professor (remember all those tweeds?), then spring’s is the art teacher. What with all the tunics, clogs and printed scarves around, it seems we’re just a splatter away from piling our hair on top of our heads – very Neri Oxman (Brad Pitt’s new flame) and sticking a paintbrush in it. Nowhere can you see the art teacher effect more clearly than in jewellery. Think big-beaded necklaces, sculptural earrings, gobstopper rings and chunky bangles that jangle together as you move your arms demonstratively. Dismiss images of bling, this is a much more organic proposition, with wood, turquoise stones and even rope giving these academic accessories a hand-wrought quality (though dried pasta-shell necklaces are a crafty step too far). And the best…

ASPARAGUS The asparagus season has begun, and while a bunch can be a little on the pricey side, it’s a spring vegetable worth splashing the cash on. Rich in vitamins B6, E and C and with high levels of iron, calcium and potassium, it’s super-healthy with a lovely flavour. Varieties vary wildly, from French asparagus, which is a rich purple, to Dutch and Spanish whites. The British crop, at its best from May to July, is a vibrant green and has a clean, earthy taste I love. The best asparagus dishes keep things simple and allow the delicate flavours to be celebrated, making it the perfect accompaniment to spring and summer dining.

The Burning Chambers Kate Mosse (£20, PAN MACMILLAN) It’s 1562, and we’re back in time in Languedoc. Propelled to the heart of a mystery, 19-year-old Minou Joubert receives a letter simply saying ‘She knows that you live’ and is set upon a path to find out the truth from her family’s Carcassonne bookshop. Her journey unites her with a young Huguenot, Piet Reydon, on his own quest to discover the truth. As the pair find themselves trapped in Toulouse amid sectarian tensions, the enigmatic mistress of Pulvert is lurking in the shadows. Another of Mosse’s immersive dramas, which take you to the heart of the past.
