Inhoudsopgave van Issue 572 - Grazia

The other morning a friend was moaning that while she’s finally persuaded her boyfriend to help out and do the laundry, he’s very specific about ONLY. DOING. HIS. Washing the sheets? Spontaneously doing the vacuuming? Just throwing some of her clothes into the wash too? FORGET. IT. She’s the one who does all that, alongside her full-time job. Sounds riveting, right? But bear with me. This might not be the sexiest topic in the world, but it is the one holding women back. Whether you’re single, newly coupled up or married with kids, chances are you’re doing more than your fair share of unpaid work (organising family birthday presents/trips, washing up, cleaning… sound familiar?) – simply because society assumes it’s your responsibility. Women spend an average 4.5 hours per day…

LAST WEEK, THE DETAILS OF A NEW contract imposed on 54,000 doctors in England provoked the latest flare-up in a bitter battle between the Government and the medical profession. Doctors took to another strike, building up to a planned ‘all out’ walk-out at the end of the month in a bid to halt the contract. ‘I think the message is: don’t have a uterus. And if you must have a uterus, don’t use it,’ one female doctor told Grazia , summing up the sexism of its implications. Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has said his new contract for junior doctors – that’s anyone below the rank of consultant – is needed to create a seven-day NHS. It will mean doctors lose extra pay for working Saturdays and evenings in return for…

Photos: Jason Lloyd-Evans, Catwalking.com THIS WEEK IN FASHION WORLD , we're mostly obsessed with tracksuits. But not everyday tracksuits, obviously - priced at £1,125 and made of 90% silk, we wouldn't dream of wearing Chloé's zippy colour-block top (right) anywhere near a treadmill - and nor should you. But how did this sportswear-come-streetwear staple, last seen on the top deck of the 242 bus, come to set the fashion world alight? Admittedly, fashion's take is less athleisure and more, well, ‘fashion'.Vetements' tracksuits are the preserve of very cool French girls - much too cool to ever break a sweat - and are best paired with XXL leather jackets and a look of youthful disinterest. Chloé suggest you wear their top with a mint green ditsy-floral maxiskirt (yours for £2,155), which…

Photos: OddTattooer, Anhwisle/Instagram. Dr David Jack: drdavidjack.com LAST YEAR’S HOTTEST TATTOO trend was the tiny-tat. Gigi Hadid had a miniscule ‘g' tattooed behind her ear, while best friend and fellow model Kendall Jenner had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it white dot on her finger. But now the pendulum has swung the other way and there is increasing interest in one of the most extreme forms of self-expression we've seen in a long time - the jet-black block tattoo, known as ‘blackout' or ‘blackwork' tattoos. Instagram currently has almost 12,000 posts with the hashtag #onlyblacktattoos. Chester Lee, who specialises in blackout tattoos, is one of the artists leading the trend and regularly posts images of his work on Instagram (@oddtattooer). Chester told Grazia, ‘The black trend started years ago, in the tribes, and slowly…

Photos: Alamy, Landmark Media, Rex Features, Splash News When you find yourself walking three miles out of your way so you can drop four whole quid on a cup of fancily branded bone broth in a dedicated pop-up store, it’s time to have a word with yourself. This happened to me last week. Twice. What’s bone broth, you ask? Oh, where have you been, my child? It’s the miracle new health food everyone’s* raving about, supposed to have youth-enhancing properties, which is why some clever/cynical souls have started flogging it in the hip, artisanal fashion of coffee to the likes of me. Obviously I fell for it because, well... You’ve met me, right? Turns out I rather like it, am convinced I can see wrinkles diminishing before my eyes, am…

OUR PANEL CHARLIE GOWANS-EGLINTON Grazia’s acting fashion news and features editor has an eye for the eclectic and a pathological fear of men in flip-flops. @charliegowans MELANIE RICKEY A fashion whirlwind, what original Grazia girl Melanie doesn’t know about designers, trends and the next big thing isn’t worth knowing! Fashioneditoratlarge. com GWEN STEFANI CHARLIE SAYS: A cry for help, if ever I’ve seen one – the fishnet girdle is 2016’s answer to the gilded cage. Though the fact those combats aren’t the worst thing about this outfit is almost an achievement. MEL SAYS: Gwen is saying, ‘Look at my body after three kids.’ Why else would she wear a push-up bra and fishnets pulled high over that taut stomach with low-rider camo pants and jarring Louboutins?

Photos: Rex, @KurobutaLondon/Twitter, Rolling Stones Archive HANNAH FLINT Grazia’s junior news and entertainment editor Shtumengrossed me from the very first page. Jem Lester manages to capture a difficult and often heart-wrenching story of a family coping with an autistic son, writing with a fast pace and levity that somehow doesn’t lessen any of the emotion of this wonderful novel. A must for your reading list. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s senior commissioning editor Ben Jewell’s wearied account of the everyday realities of caring for a quietly different child is a totally absorbing, and emotionally enlightening read. When wife Emma leaves, on the brink, Ben’s resulting spin at being left picking up the pieces is almost too painful to absorb, but for the light and very human writing.

NORTHERN STARS Scott & Bailey creator Sally Wainwright could not be hotter property right now, post Happy Valley. Suranne Jones (Bailey) couldn't be any hotter right now, post Doctor Foster, and Lesley Sharp (Scott) is forever percolating away as one of our finest character actors. It's now not only a moral but watercooler duty to tune into Wainwright's other Northern cop escapade, with added Manchester. Wednesday, 9pm, ITV1 HOTEL FROM HELL Taking the amazing premise of Hitchcock's Psycho and turning it into a TV strand has worked well for Bates Motel. Now on its fourth season, try it - it touches the hem of the greatness not only of The Hitch but David Lynch, too. Vera Farmiga's Norma Bates is a thing of controlled lunacy, a proper wowser.

You must let Mercury’s alliance with Jupiter encourage you to be seen at your most confident, without coming across as arrogant or uncaring. Every now and again you have to remind those around you that you contribute a lot to some challenging areas and you would never expect to be given something for nothing. TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May As you explore areas that others perceive as being out of bounds, you’ll have to decide whether or not to be totally transparent about your plans.

AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, ‘first comes love, then comes marriage... then you split up and move in next door’. Or at least, that’s the mantra currently circling Hollywood. Increasingly, it seems A-list husbands are moving out, but not moving on, as these couples (Sorry Gwyneth, should that be ‘uncouples’?) prove... EXHIBIT A: BEN AND JEN Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced their plans to divorce one day after their 10th wedding anniversary, amid allegations that he had cheated with the nanny (since denied). Despite these, um, strenuous circumstances, Ben continued to live in a guesthouse on the family's Los Angeles estate. Then, last week, he finally moved out to a new house… next door. According to sources, the pair are determined to keep things amicable for the sake of…

WAS I JUST A POSH GIRL WHO’D FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY – THE OLDEST CLICHE IN THE BOOK? WHEN TONY AND I FIRST MET, I was married to the nicest man in the world. He was a sweet-natured photographer, I was a journalist at The Guardian , and we were one of those couples that make other people sentimental about the romantic dream of happily-ever-after. The only downside of our fairy-tale romance was that we made each other miserable. Within months of moving to a new house that we hoped might save our marriage, my husband and I became friendly with a tall, gregarious, good-looking mixed-race neighbour with dreadlocks. He lived with his wife and daughter, and in the interests of appearances, owned a property development company. He had…

WHEN IT COMES TO STEPPING UP YOUR style for spring, the hottest buys come in tropical hues – fabulous whether you’re heading for the Bahamas, or just for brunch. The key to wearing brights is all in the mix – let a statement shade do all the talking by pairing it with low-key neutrals. Strike the right balance and wear Sonia by Sonia Rykiel’s hothouse flower-print blouse with high-waisted navy trousers, or dress up distressed denim and a simple white tee with Carvela’s citrus-bright sandals. Spending summer in the city? Radley’s vivid turquoise tote will give white tailoring an ultra-modern edge. But if you’re off on your hols (yay!), normal rules need not apply. Go bananas with a suitably kitsch clutch, perfect for a night on the piña coladas, and…

1. ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES Streetwear-ready sweats and logo tees are spot on for tackling the latest workout trend – boxing. Ding ding! 2.

STRETCH OUT Salute the sun in khaki green and petrol blue, layers and tie-dye prints. Stylish yoga mat included, ability to keep your balance – unfortunately not... 4. DIVE IN Make strokes in sporty silhouettes: think high necklines, racer-backs and graphic one pieces with retro white piping plus a pair of logoed slides. No splashing, now! 5.

TINA LEUNG There aren’t many women who could pull off head-to-toe Miu Miu S/S ’16 with aplomb, but clearly Tina is one of ’em.

Credit to you TL, this get-up is MAJOR. @tinaleung LEILA NDA Perhaps the easiest way to sport a good check (for those not quite ready to go the whole hog) is via a great coat, à la Leila.

BRINGING UP BABY Regarding shared parental leave (The dads who love daycare – so why aren’t more doing it?, 11 April), my husband and I are currently both off with our second child, thanks to the new law. It’s great being able to share the workload and fantastic bonding time for my husband and our kids. I think I’d go insane looking after two under two alone! We both plan to go back to work full-time and this leave means I’ll feel 100% confident that I can split childcare duties 50/50 with my husband, as he’ll know exactly what the kids need. I’d encourage every family to take advantage of it, even if just for a few weeks. The more usual it becomes for men to take time out, the…

AS SHISH HOLLY FULTON Photos: Catwalking.com IT MIGHT NOT BE PALM Springs out there, but it’s definitely verging on too warm for your big winter coat. Our solution? A denim jacket, naturally. But not just any denim jacket – this is an all-singing, all-dancing, slap-you-round-the-face-with-a-glittery-fish kind of denim jacket. This most casual of jackets has had a glamover: think hand-painted panels, embroidery, badges, patches, studs and slogans. Layer yours over knitwear for now and peasant blouses and floral dresses later. Or take your cue from the S/S ’16 catwalks, where they were paired with matching jeans at Ashish and Holly Fulton – we’re calling it the Canadian tuxedo 2.0. But however you wear it, it’s time to try the denim trophy jacket on for size...…

AFTER THE DRAMA OF RECENT MONTHS , it was a very different Madonna who flew into London for a reunion with her rebel son, Rocco, last week. Sources say that the 57-year-old has spent the past few weeks with a specialist in teenage psychology in order to ‘communicate calmly, consciously and effectively’ with the 15-year-old, who left her Rebel Heart tour in November to live with his British film director dad, Guy Ritchie. Encouraged by her daughter, Lourdes, 19, who helped set up the reunion between mother and son, Madonna opted to follow the advice of a therapist rather than pursue legal action to force Rocco to return to New York. A source close to the singer said, ‘The past few months have been a nightmare for Madonna. Her son…

HE CAN BE QUITE COLD SHE’S KNOWN AS the unsinkable super who always comes out on top, but there can be no doubt that this has been a turbulent year for Kate Moss. Friends say that she is struggling to recover after tearing ligaments on a skiing trip in February, and it was recently announced that she was leaving the model agency Storm after 28 years. Now, Grazia understands that the 42-year-old planned a ‘make or break’ holiday with Nikolai von Bismarck after becoming fearful that things aren’t working out with her boyfriend of five months.

1. BE INTENTIONAL The path of least resistance is simply to let work and traditional gender roles take over, so whoever has the higher-paying job has first dibs on a career. Instead, be intentional about what you want, even if you may feel you’re swimming against a strong tide of what’s ‘normal’. 2. DEVELOP A COMMON VISION You and your partner need to see eye-to-eye on the kind of life you want to lead and stick to it when circumstances change. When couples have children, mothers commonly resist relinquishing control and fathers feel inadequate. Remind each other that you want to share family responsibilities. 3. EXPERIMENT Think differently about your job. Can you spread your workload out throughout the year? Can you each choose two nights a week to work…

It's not just grandstanding contractual demands that score the show's creator a name credit in Harlan Coben'sThe Five. Coben is a New Jersey author with 60 million book receipts and eight New York Times No.1 best-sellers. Julia Roberts has just signed on for his missing person thriller Fool Me Once. Basically, he's commercial gold. However, for new converts to the Coben wellspring, the mysteries of his success may remain just that after watching the first episode of The Five, a drama that tests the elastic notion of suspension of disbelief to snapping point. It starts with a group of kids playing together and telling a younger child to leave them alone. In tears, he heads home and is never seen again.Twenty years later, the DNA of Jesse Wells, the missing…
