PHOTOS: ED MILES, GETTY. *TO BE FAIR (I MAY HAVE MADE THIS UP) you need to know about Twitter morality and righteous indignation in the modern age. And it’s depressing. One more thing making me wonder if I can even call myself a feminist any more. It started when an online costumier made a sexed-up version of the red cape and white bonnet costume worn by Elisabeth Moss and her colleagues-in-reproductive-slavery in the brilliant TV adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s brilliant novel. If you haven’t watched The Handmaid’s Tale, OMG, do! For context: it’s set in a world in which most women are infertile, so the handful who aren’t are enslaved, dressed in red capes and white bonnets, raped by socially elevated masters and forced to carry resulting pregnancies to term.…

PHOTOS:JASON LLOYD-EVANS IN NORMAL circumstances, socks are to be filed away under: Practical Purchases Not Worth Getting Excited About. Socks are a worthy, grown-up, essential purchase, there’s no doubt about it, but exciting? Really? Well, yes, actually. If the fashion set doing the rounds at Milan Fashion Week, last week, were to be believed, socks are at the forefront of our style radars. Thanks to the autumn chill, plus shorter trousers and the dominance of sneaker culture, they’ve gone from add-ons to game-changers. Finally, socks are getting their moment in the spotlight – music to the ears and toes of anyone who’s not ready to do tights yet. (Though, if you are a tights person, it’s all about the 10-denier right now.) The sock savviness makes sense. Because they were…

FASHION TIMELINE: LAURA ANTONIA JORDANPHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK, EYEVINE IN DECEMBER 2017, I helped organise a 2,000-person protest against period poverty outside Parliament Square. The days before the protest were an insane jam-packed fight to the finishing line where every minute was filled with organising, calling, tweeting and zine-making. As I looked at my schedule for the day of the protest itself, for the first time in a month I began to feel guilty. I had pencilled in an hour and a half to blow-dry my hair, do my make-up and change into my outfit. I immediately felt like a neon sign screaming ‘NOT A TRUE FEMINIST’ was hovering over my head. It’s not surprising that we’ve reached a point in 2018 where questions around whether you can be a true…

She’s also just written her first book, Bloody Brilliant Women, an enlightening look at the unsung pioneering British working women ‘your history teacher forgot to mention’. Oh, and she’s mum to Scarlett, 14, and Molly, nine. So how does she do it all? ‘My husband is a bloody brilliant man,’ she admits, of writer and arts journalist John O’Connell. He does all the school drop-offs and pick-ups, cooks the meals – and did ‘mountains of research’ for Cathy’s book. Here, Cathy, 44, and John, 47, talk about how they make it work… Cathy: ‘Working mothers are so hard…

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK A LOT OF us spend a lot of time thinking about clothes. I certainly always have done. But how often do we actually think about how those clothes relate to the body that will wear them? Our body. Sure, if we have big thighs we probably tend to steer clear of a miniskirt. And if we have our own in-person shoulder pads, we’ll rarely buy a jacket with an additional set. But beyond the basics, many of us have very little idea as to what suits us. Of course we don’t. We never get taught this stuff. If we are even slightly tuned into a fashion wavelength we are bombarded with ‘in’ colours, hot cuts, this season’s skirt length or trouser cut. Yet none of this…

Vitamin A Speeds up skin cell regeneration to prevent further clogging and reveal newer, clearer skin, while preventing clogging in the first place. Consider it the gold standard. These are key forms: Retinol – from 0.15%-1% depending on skin tolerance. Retinaldehyde – or retinal, vitamin A aldehyde – from 0.015%. Adapalene – more stable to light and oxygen compared to tretinoin (and available over the counter). Isotretinoin – a good option for severe acne. Tretinoin – the strongest, prescription-strength vitamin A. Acids These are the expert exfoliators – great for getting out the gunk before it causes any upset. ‘The percentage of acids depends on whether the products contain one type of acid or a combination. The rule of thumb is single acids should be from 10-15%,’ recommends Dr Williams.…

Add the basil and oil and blend to a smooth paste. Stir in the cheese and taste, adding salt if you…

David’s Out For A Good Time Spotify’s new podcast is by David Olshanetsky, the creator of LGBTQ+ Tumblr blog The Shitney Spears. Each week, David and co-host Naledi Dube discuss life and pop culture with a guest and their accompanying playlist. (Think a more woke version of Desert Island Discs .) 30 For 30: Bikram Take a trip into the sweaty world of Bikram yoga in this five-part ESPN series. Julia Lowrie Henderson explores the complex community following sexual-assault allegations aimed at its controversial founder, Bikram Choudhury. The Ratline Presented by barrister and writer Philippe Sands, this is an exploration of Otto Wächter, a senior Austrian Nazi indicted for mass murder, and the ‘ratlines’ – post-war Nazi escape routes out of Europe – to discover what really led to Otto’s…

Christine Blasey Ford, the professor accusing US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault (which he strenuously denies), stood up in front of the Senate last week and, with a nervous dignity, told her story to the world. Ford says it’s her civic duty, but in giving her testimony she put herself in the firing line – her family has had to move house because of death threats. But her story resonates with victims of sexual assault everywhere. And on the one-year anniversary of #MeToo, we couldn’t be witnessing a more stark reminder of the importance of a movement that encourages victims to come forward with their stories of past abuse by powerful men.…

PHOTOS: GETTY Before my recent holiday to Mallorca, I realised, while trying on a normally trusty pair of shorts, that I’d put on weight. I knew why: during those glorious weeks of sunshine over the summer, I’d skipped from barbecues to al-fresco rosé sessions with all the carefree abandon of someone with the metabolism of a teen supermodel. Sadly, that someone is not me, so I did what I always do when I want to lose a few pounds. I went on a diet. A diet ? That’s not a word you hear very often in 2018. Our current obsession with holistic wellness and body positivity has loaded it with connotations of outdated beauty standards, deprivation and self-loathing. It’s become passé – shameful, even – to admit you’re on a…

PHOTOS: CAMERA PRESS, GETTY ‘UTERINE STRENGTHENING’ vaginal eggs, pastel-pink vibrators named Fireman and Millionaire, the paradoxically named ‘no-make-up-make-up’, and a set of chakra-healing crystals ‘activated by mantras and blessed with Reiki’. It could only be the arrival of Goop in London (served with dairy- and gluten-free fish and chips to the first customers). Marking 10 years of Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness empire, Goop opened its first ever London pop-up shop in Notting Hill last week. For many, it was a sign that Gwyneth’s business, said to be worth $250 million, is ready to go global. It perhaps also marked a new era for Goop, following a summer of embarrassment. A New York Times article earlier this year reported that Conde Nast ceased publication of Goop magazine because the brand refused to…

1850s  The bloomer or ‘freedom’ dress was a less restrictive option for women. 1912  The power of the pout! Elizabeth Arden handed out red lipsticks to Suffragettes marching in New York. 1920s  Comfort was intrinsic to Coco Chanel’s chic. She did away with corsets, offering women the same flexibility as men. 1960s  A rejection of a restrained, restrictive definition of femininity, the miniskirt was a symbol of cultural rebellion. 1966  Anything men can wear women can wear better. See: Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Le Smoking’ tuxedo, which riffed on the men’s classic. 1974  Diane Von Furstenberg’s jersey wrap dress represented sexual liberation. ‘If you’re trying to slip out without waking a sleeping man, zips are a nightmare,’ she quipped. 1980s  Shoulder-padded jackets became the armour of the glass ceiling-smashing career woman.…

THREE WEEKS before I was due to get married, my skin literally combusted into cystic acne. It could have been the guest list, parents, juggling lots of travel for work, but let’s give it the umbrella title of ‘stress’. And there was no overnight ‘quick-fix’. Cystic acne is persistent and it took up camp all down my cheeks – the central point of stress-induced breakouts. But I’m not the only one: The International Dermal Institute found that 40-55% of adults aged 20-40 are diagnosed with low-grade acne and oily skin, while the Journal Of The American Academy Of Dermatology claim 54% of women aged 25-plus now suffer from acne. Begging the question: why now? ‘Hormonal changes, rising pollution and increased levels of stress are all contributing to a surge in…

YSL:YSLBEAUTY.CO.UK GODDESS COMPLEX Like a ray of sunshine spreading light over the face, the new way to apply bronzer is in a W-shape over cheekbones and nose, with a dusting of flush pink or coral blush on the apples of cheeks for a lived-in effect. Take Alberta Ferretti and Genny for inspiration. LUSCIOUS LASHES Forget dainty, delicate lashes, now is the time to load up with layers of thick black mascara. The sporty surfer girls at Etro wore very little on their dewy complexions but made an impact with tons of black mascara, while at Prada girls were given clumpy black lashes reminiscent of Twiggy. More is most definitely more. KNOTS LANDING…

Melmoth Sarah Perry (£16.99, SERPENT’S TAIL) The follow-up to Perry’s best-selling The Essex Serpent is a more intimate but deliciously creepy novel about grief, loneliness and regret. Adopting the tone and style of an 18th century Gothic novel, it combines the modern-day story of Helen Franklin – an Englishwoman in Prague living a life of frugal reclusiveness – with the strange tales of a manuscript left in her possession. They are stories of Melmoth, a female spectre who roams the earth seeking the guilty to try to tempt them into darkness, and they unleash something in Helen herself. Lush writing and a high concept make for a gratifying autumnal read.…

I have bought Grazia for the first time because of the fabulous Big Fashion issue. Such beautiful and empowering images and fantastic models. This is beauty in real life. Judith LET’S SAY IT LIKE IT IS Loved @GizziErskine’s piece in @GraziaUK (‘It’s OK not to feel body positive all the time’, 24 Sept). I’ve gone up several sizes too and feel shit. But, like Gizzi, I’m tall so it doesn’t show so much. But sure does feel like much! Inspired to start working out and feeling better. Thanks for being so honest. @Nishitata A DATE WITH DESTINY?

Filling the ‘Keeley Hawes really was dead in Bodyguard, then’ conspiracy theory void? 2.UP RAHUL BAKE OFF We don’t know much about baking; finding that both bread and cakes are available in shops rather put us off it. But Rahul’s gonna win, right? 3 NON-MOVER DAVE CHAPPELLE Excellent comic, cameos in Gaga’s A Star Is Born, which reminded us how hot he is, in addition to being funny and naughty.

PHOTOS: GETTY, BACKGRID, INSTAGRAM/DANIEL MARTIN, SHUTTERSTOCK The world turned on its axis last week, when the Duchess of Sussex closed her own car door. She was attending the opening of Oceania at the Royal Academy of Arts on her first solo public outing and wore a sleek black Givenchy dress that cost £2,510. The day before, she attended the Coach Core Awards at Loughborough University and wore a navy blue, asymmetric-hemmed Oscar de la Renta top (£1,636), black Altuzarra trousers (£555) and – shocker – high heels, while being thrown netballs in front of the global media. (Nice catch by the way, Meghan.) Cue the hoo-hahs of dissent about her polished and pricey wardrobe versus what was apparently expected – a dressed-down duchess. What? No flats, ripped jeans and boyfriend…

PHOTOS: XPOSURE, GETTY EvEr sincE Angelina Jolie triggered an explosive divorce battle two years ago, it’s been widely reported that Hollywood has sided with Brad Pitt (the actor has maintained close friendships with A-list power couples, including George and Amal Clooney, and was greeted with supportive cheers when he presented an award at the Golden Globes last year). But Grazia can reveal that Angelina does have at least one A-list ally. According to LA-based insiders, Angelina has formed an unlikely friendship with Keanu Reeves – with the pair even going on holiday together in Greece last summer, along with two of Angelina’s children. It’s understood that they first bonded when Angelina moved into the same Los Feliz compound as Keanu’s mother, Patricia Taylor, in July 2017 (Angelina’s sprawling $24 million…

PHOTOS: INSTAR IMAGES Kate Moss is the human equivalent of black in the fashion world – she never goes out of style. So it feels a bit odd declaring ‘Kate Moss is back!’ But that’s been the chat among the fashion crowd at the recent set of shows, including Saint Laurent’s in Paris last week, where Kate sat front row. When asked in a TV interview in New York why she was looking so happy, her own take was simple: ‘I’m a good girl now.’ So what does that involve exactly? As previously reported in Grazia , Kate has been sober for nearly a year and friends say this is her most major lifestyle change. It’s also a pretty phenomenal feat given that her reputation as a legendary party animal…

The Haunting Of Hill House Shirley Jackson (£8.99, PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS) Shirley Jackson’s near perfect haunted house novel is set in 1950s America. What makes it stand out is the weirdness of the house’s inhabitants and the strong undercurrent of female sexuality. It wrong-foots the reader with wry humour and unexpected twists for a perfect pre-Halloween read. The Woman In Black Susan Hill (£16.99, VINTAGE) There’s a reason Susan Hill’s 1983 classic spawned a blockbuster stage play and film: it’s terrifying. A cult Gothic-style novel, it’s set at a remote house often cut off when the causeway is submerged at high tide, trapping those who enter with a haunting figure in black. The benchmark for modern horror. PHOTOS: GETTY The Little Stranger Sarah Waters (£8.99, VIRAGO) An aristocratic family is…

PHOTO: BBC HARD CAPITALISM’S favourite pantomime The Apprentice returns to a strange world, partly of the programme’s own doing. Its first US host, Donald Trump, is President. Its loudest celebrity mouth, Piers Morgan, briefly stropped off social media. Its most disagreeable UK dame, Katie Hopkins, is in liquidation. One of Lord Sugar’s old righthand men has turned the benign words-based quiz Countdown from affable cosiness into a tense, taciturn place. Happy earning, folks! Lord Sugar cuts boldly to his chase. ‘Make me money,’ he says, in his reverse Chris Tarrant’s chair, ‘or piss off.’ It’s chilling to the bone. Sixteen contestants nod, as if listening to the wisdom of gods. One of them calls herself ‘The Beyoncé of Business’, which sounds fun until it quickly transpires she’s industry’s own Michelle…

Thank you for featuring models with a physical disability in your Big Fashion Issue (24 Sept). I’m 44 and have been an avid reader of women’s magazines since I was 16, but I’ve never seen anyone like me in their pages. I was thrilled to see Monique Jarrett, a model with osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones), looking gorgeous along with four other disabled models. As a teenager, I felt worlds apart from the fashion industry and its ideals of bodily perfection. It means so much to me to see a woman with my condition in a mainstream magazine feature that’s not a charity appeal. Monique, you rock and I have serious frock envy! Thanks Grazia. I hope that you’ll continue to use models who represent the glorious diversity of your readership.…

PHOTO: SHUTTERSTOCK WE KNOW WHAT you’re thinking, but stay with us. The 6ft 7in Stoke City FC footballer has bagged a soft spot in our hearts – and it’s not for winning 42 England caps or doing the robot dance (although we still remain huge fans of that, obviously ). No, it’s Crouchy’s recent hilarious revelations, via his BBC Radio 5 Live Podcast, That Peter Crouch Podcast. First, he disclosed that he’d had a deck of specially printed business cards made to hand to people who commented on his height (answering questions like: ‘What’s the weather like up there?’ ‘Why didn’t you choose to play basketball?’). Then he revealed that Prince Harry had told him he was punching above his weight. ‘I remember Harry said to me once, “Crouchy, how…
