January: the month of new beginnings. Although, in this instance, we ve begun by saying farewell to cultural icon David Bowie. Whether or not you were a fan of his music, Bowie s influence was – and remains – unparalleled. You can see him in fashion s past (too many designers to name!), present (Gucci) and no doubt its future – read our new fashion director Rebecca Lowthorpe s predictions on page 37. He also changed our perceptions of gender and sexuality (read Paris Lees on page 38). It seems almost fitting, for a man who was always looking ahead, that this week we welcome in the new fashion season. And what a season! Inflated sleeves, bursts of colour, metallic – this is no time to be shy and retiring…

Photos: Xposure Photos, INF Photos LAST OCTOBER it seemed as if Chris Martin had turned over a new leaf. Pictured dancing through the Parisian streets with new girlfriend Annabelle Wallis, his very public show of affection was in stark contrast to the subterfuge that characterised his on/off relationship with Jennifer Lawrence – rumoured to have finished as a result of his refusal to commit. Now it appears little has changed, with sources telling Grazia his romance with Annabelle, 31, has met a similar end. At the moment they re on a break – indefinitely, confided an associate of the pair. At first Chris seemed head over heels, visiting her on the set of her projects, and inviting her to sing on his album. But he soon seemed to lose interest,…

FASHION ‘GET READY FOR A BOWIE REVIVAL’ Grazia’s Rebecca Lowthorpe says Bowie’s fashion influence will live on Fashion prophet, shape-shifter, gender-bender, artist, icon. David Bowie was the ultimate fashion hero. His influence on fashion is incalculable, across the board and through every generation. The media saturation last week is proof of that. From overt Bowie-isms like Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring/summer 2013 asymmetric spangled catsuits and Hedi Slimane’s glam rock star-studded boots at Saint Laurent to Gucci’s Alessandro Michele putting his men in floral suits and his women in giant pussy-bow blouses and giant sparkly shades. But you’ve seen all that and you’ve read the eulogies. The big question is how his influence will impact fashion in the future. Let’s look at the potential for Bowiemania in an industry that thrives…

P otos tty ages Re Rex A thing that s never annoyed me before has started to reallyannoy me. The thing is this: every time I try to book into my fave gym classes, I can t, because it s January and a load of fly-by-night Johnny-come-lately New Year resolutioners have got there first, taking all the spaces, leaving me in the cold (/sulking on my sofa). With wardrobes full of shiny new Lycra and hearts filled with good intentions, they have block-booked me out of my Pilates sessions. And do they care? No, they do not! Sure, that s because they don t know; but I m pretty sure they wouldn t care even if they did, not with all the endorphins flooding their system, and the vigorous self-back-slapping…

“I DON’T THINK I’M THE ONLY ONE TO FEEL A GUILTY GLEE AT OTHER PEOPLE’S SPLITS” I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY. My plans had fallen through, the weather was grim and I d had a pointless argument with my boyfriend. Then I got a text from my friend: P just dumped me. Am devastated. Are you free after work? followed by the broken heart and wine glass emojis. Immediately, my mood lifted. I texted back, suggesting a wine bar near her office, and returned to my assignment with renewed vigour. Suddenly, I felt purposeful – and, yes, I admit it – more cheerful. My own life didn t seem such a disaster after all. Let me explain. I love my friends and I want them to be happy. I…

Communication is key. Sometimes, dysfunctional relationships can be transformed by articulating your needs and concerns to senior management. Also, speak to your colleagues, friends or partner – a support network is crucial. While Twitter and Instagram can be inspiring, they also expose us to endless possible life paths and that can lead to panic and comparison anxiety. Plus, always remember future employers will look you up – and public moaning is very unprofessional. Photo:Tr nk Archive. Illustrations: AngelicaTobit When deciding your next move think ‘regressively’. Start by thinking about what sort of career you want to look back over. My mantra is ‘move forward with purpose’, so no hasty decisions. Instead, make small, incremental changes that will help propel you forward. Take time to research new career options, enrol in…

MIU MIU 01. SILVER Not just a touch of metallic, this is a wash for any occasion paired with crisp whites and punctuated by dashes of yellow. And the trousers! Low-slung and tailored at Paul & Joe, wide-leg and high-shine at Loewe, or reimaginings of familiar shapes Lacoste’s ’90s combats and Moschino’s spray-on pedal pushers. 02. LACE From the delicate – pale lemon tiers at Burberry Prorsum, quivering petals of cornflower blue at Preen – to the vibrant: cue Moschino’s citrus stripes, and the embellished, this season’s lace takes centre stage. 03.

Photos: Colin Lane, Rex EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s senior commissioning editor As a journalist, I had to grit my teeth at hardened news reporter Kate Waters methods to get an exclusive from put-upon Jean Taylor, the widow of the man accused of some very desperate crimes. But there are Amazing Amy- style secrets afoot, and Kate s techniques to draw the story from Jean, as well as Detective Bob Sparkes attempts to solve the case of missing baby Bella, had me turning the pages at serious pace. RACHEL TOMLIN Grazia’s designer The widow, a journalist and a police officer largely take it in turns to narrate this story, each, of course, telling things from their own perspective in the case of missing two-year-old Bella. Easy to read in a few sittings,…

Heartwarming, even. Thursday, 9pm, Channel 4 TV WINNERS How hard will it be for Dermot O'Leary not to gloat at the disaster of The X Factor without him during the National Television Awards? The people's choice TV gong fest will no doubt throw up the usual pantheon of family favourites, but it's worth it alone to read the subtext of host Dermot's face when the…

DRAG QUEENS THINK OF IDENTITY AS A JOKE, SO WE MAKE FUN OF IT RUPAUL, 55 We ask the drag queen, TV host and recording artist to take a selfie - and reveal all Who is your best friend? It would probably be my partner of the last 22 years, but people would be surprised that I'm quite a loner.You can't even imagine how much of an introvert I am. What’s your biggest regret? I should have had way more sex when I was younger. I was scared. People terrify me! What’s your biggest extravagance? For the most part I'm very conservative with money because entertainment is such a volatile business, but I just bought a 1968 Mercedes that I've always wanted. I posted a picture of the car onTwitter…

Photos: Mirrorpix, Xposure Photos IT’S A RELATIONSHIP that in its infancy was shrouded in secrecy, with Kate Moss and her toy-boy boyfriend, Count Nikolai von Bismarck, going to extreme lengths to hide their burgeoning romance. Famously, at one point he was even living in the basement of her North London home, only sneaking in and out of the property late at night under the cover of darkness. Then, last week, a different picture emerged. As Kate and Nikolai stepped out while on holiday in Brazil, hand-in-hand in full view of the paparazzi, it seemed their hiding days were behind them. By all accounts, Kate and photographer Nikolai, who were joined in Brazil by Kate s 13-year-old daughter Lila-Grace, have grown extremely close. One source told Grazia, They are very much…

Photos: LMK Media SHOCK HORROR! A list, outspoken actress in being taken to task shocker! Yes, Jennifer Lawrence, who we once held tight to our bosoms and celebrated as being individual, honest and real is being (metaphorically) strung up for her conduct at the Golden Globes. Let's take a minute to revisit her offence, shall we? At a press conference after winning Best Actress forJoy, Lawrence called out a reporter E!'s Juan Pablo Fernández Feo who asked how she felt about Oscars night while appearing to be on his phone. Lawrence quipped, ‘You can't live your whole life behind your phone, bro. You're just not gonna... You can't do that. You gotta live in the now,' while rolling her eyes and wagging her finger. The room reportedly erupted in laughter.…

Photo: Shutterstock THERE’S AN AMY SCHUMER sketch doing the rounds called ‘I'm Sorry', in which a panel of female scientists, all women, can't stop apologising.They say sorry for clearing their throat, for talking over one another and just for having the chutzpah to exist in the first place. For me, it's not so much funny as horribly familiar. Whether I'm kicking off a sentence with a ‘Sorry, can I just...' or apologising for having the audacity to be in someone's way when they bump into me, I've always considered my love of a ‘sorry' a polite British verbal tic. But when it comes to my work emails, I figured I only apologise when I've made a big mistake. Apparently, that assumption was the big mistake. Within hours of downloading Just…

IT’S 3.43AM AND I SHOULD BE asleep. I m eiight months pregnant, exhausted and have a raft of deadlines to face in the morning. But I m not sleeping. Instead, I m madly googling Can belly piercing infection harm unborn baby? Of course, I know that a fully healed piercing scar can t hurt my baby. Just like I know that those twinges in my hips are just my muscles stretching and that stroking my cat isn t going to infect me with toxoplasmosis. Yet when the panic strikes, it s all-consuming and devoid of logic. I m suffering from perinatal anxiety – I d never heard of it until I started looking into it, concerned at the constant catastrophising that had taken over my brain since I saw that…

CHECK IT OUT From gingham to plaid, go for graphic in this season’s checks. Layer with denim for understated style, or pair with clashing prints for en-pointe eclecticism.

A TALE OF TWO LIPSTICKS Victoria Beckham, Zac Posen, Oscar de la Renta and DKNY avoided choosing whether to send models down the runway with red or nude lips at the summer shows by giving half the girls one look and half the other. If you, like us, sometimes find red a bit full on, try Avon’s Ultra Colour Matte Lipsticks in Perfectly Nude (1), Au Naturale (2) and Posh Petal (3), £8 each. They stay put for hours with zero dryness. (Hurrah!) CANDY CRUSH OPI s latest launch has us feeling all nostalgic. Kitsch cuteness aside, the 12 part Hello Kitty Nail Lacquer collection has a shade to please absolutely every paw and claw, but our fave has to be the cotton candy coloured Let s Be Friends (4),…

AWARDS SEASON IS officially here, kicking off with a very glittery bang at the Golden Globes. But the hot news from the night wasn t the big-label ballgowns, or that Leo DiCaprio gave Lady Gaga side-eye: it was the fashion rebels who really sparked the year s red-carpet style into life. First up? The wild-card dresses – from Cate Blanchett in bubblegum-pink tassels and Maggie Gyllenhaal s magic-eye florals to Bryce Dallas Howard s Jenny Packham gown bought at a department store. Olivia Palermo went a step further from the norm, eschewing the usual go-to labels and opting for a bold striped dress by Delpozo, a Spanish brand that s making waves. And unexpected dresses weren t the only things breaking the mould – new faces made their mark, too,…

WHETHERYOU CALL IT CANARY, daffodil or (our favourite) Grazia yellow, this sunshine street-style trend is sure to brighten up your wardrobes this January. First spotted on the S/S ’16 catwalks at Burberry Prorsum, Christopher Kane and Jonathan Saunders, this colour trend will make eternal optimists of even the most serious fashion types, as our favourite street-stylers ditch basic black to get in on the acid action. Paired with black, white or a dash of teal, this block bright is surprisingly easy to wear.

“FOR MOST OF US, WORKING FULL-TIME MEANS OUR JOB TAKES UP MORE TIME THAN OUR SOCIAL OR HOME LIVES” PICTURE THE SCENE: it’s Tuesday night, you and a friend detour for just one quick glass of wine after work. Several non-quick and non-just-one wines later and conversation darts from upset to frustration to anger. You cover guilt trips, cryptic emails, broken promises and confrontational behaviour. Sentences are punctuated with phrases like I m so unhappy and I feel like I m going insane . If you were complaining about partner, the advice would be simple: it s not OK, you have to end the relationship. Except you re not, you re talking about work – and because we depend on work for survival (or so it can seem), recognising when…

Because, let’s be honest, your skin could probably use the help after all that festive excess.

Photos: Rex, Allstar, BBC Pictures Post Daisy Ridley s astonishing turn in The Force Awakens, the appetite for female superheroes is at tipping point. That the guardians of other galaxies were always presumed male made for a particularly stinging role-model void on the screen. In a land a little closer to home – Canada, to be precise – the producers of Killjoys had perhaps anticipated the rush while conjuring up their playfully postmodern action adventure. Essentially, this is the freewheeling tale of three bounty hunters, time-shifting through parallel axes with one nod to vintage arcade games and another to the big science-fiction hitters. The two brothers are perfectly perfunctory, easy-on-the-eye intergalactic swashbucklers. It is the character Dutch, though – leader of our intrepid trio, brought to riveting life by newcomer…

CHEERS TO THAT Amy Molloy s ‘Is being sober hurting my career?’ (11 January) made interesting reading. It seems that Amy is a rare breed within her own circle, but in reality the type of job where it s acceptable to be tipsy is the exception rather than the rule. I m a doctor and I won t drink a drop of alcohol if I m working even the following day – if a patient were to smell alcohol on me I d be in front of the GMC, and rightfully so. How about teachers, legal workers, social workers or any job that requires driving? Being sober is essential for the majority of people at work and kegs in the office sound as alien as whisky bottles in drawers to…
