This week, man may have trumped woman in the most bitterly fought election in US history, but there were a surprising number of women who helped The Donald to power. Who are they – and what does a world with President Trump in charge look like for us? Read our full analysis on page 26. Speaking of bitterly fought battles, each week the Brangelina divorce turns nastier. And now Brad’s bodyguard has gone on the record to reveal the actor’s fury: ‘Brad is so angry. From what I have heard from Brad and Jon [Voight], Angelina is turning all the kids against him. He’s alleging they won’t even speak to him and they won’t call him Daddy or Father.’ Read the full exclusive interview on page 12. On the other…

 NOW THAT THE “IF TRUMP GOVERNS THE WAY HE CAMPAIGNED, AMERICA’S CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY IS IN DEEP TROUBLE” UNTHINKABLE has happened in the United States, those of us who live here are trying to figure out what it means for our country and the world. Perhaps most troubling is what this means for women. According to the exit polls, Trump won white voters across the board, including 53% of white females. Interviews with women who voted for him indicated they either didn’t believe the 12 women accusing Trump of sexual assault or didn’t think the accusations were disqualifying. ‘The fact that he said something crude is not going to change my mind about the good he can do for our country,’ noted one female voter to The New York Times .…

When I interviewed Donald Trump back in 2008, he didn’t call me Emily. Not once. He opted instead to use a painfully overfamiliar term of endearment, indicating that he either didn’t know my name or he actively chose not to use it. I suspect it was simply a depressing example of casual misogyny. There was a lot about that encounter that made me feel uneasy. He was goading: ‘The amount of time I talk to you will be a direct reflection of how good a journalist I think you are.’ He was boastful: ‘I buy all my properties in cash, honey.’ He was clichéd: ‘Never give up on your dreams…just keep on keeping on.’ At the time, Trump didn’t strike me as someone entirely devoid of a brain. He had…

Photos: Rex Features, expresspictures.com  garet Thatcher famously survived on four hours’ sleep a night. Gina Miller claims she only needs three. ‘It’s just that something always needs to be done,’ she explains. Recently, ‘what needed to be done’ was the not inconsiderable matter of mounting a legal challenge against the Prime Minister’s plans to leave the EU without the approval of Parliament following the 23 June Brexit referendum vote. “I’M A COMBINATION OF A NOSY PARKER AND SOMEONE WITH A REAL HATRED OF PEOPLE BEING BULLIED” Miller, a 51-year-old investment manager and philanthropist, was the lead claimant in a case that saw three High Court judges rule earlier this month that Parliament must have a vote on any plans to activate Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. Although the Government…

Photos: Getty Images, catwalking.com THERE WAS A TIME when lurex and lamé were grouped under the everything-that’s-naff-about-Christmas umbrella. But along came Alessandro Michele, and that all changed. At the risk of sending you all out resembling Liza Minnelli tribute acts, go forth and enjoy the one time of year when glitz goes. Solange Knowles and Naomie Harris both stepped out last week in silver suits, and we suffered a hefty bout of fashion FOMO. With the party season in mind, it’s time to, literally, follow suit. Pair your two-piece with disco-inspired platforms or, for something more modern, box-fresh trainers. Or why not try what we at Grazia have dubbed the ‘disco blouse?’ Ideal for evening dos for which the getting-ready process entails hopping around the office toilet cubicle and a…

Photos: Folio-id.com, Getty Images, Xposure Photos Last week, I spent a vast sum of money on a coat. So much money that, whenever anyone asks how much, I am self-shamed into couching the figure with elaborate explanations of how I cashed in all available discounts for it, which immediately makes them say, ‘Oooh! Do you get discounts? How much? Can I use them?’ Which goes to prove that thing my friend Vix says: on hearing a new piece of information about you, the average person waits 12.7 seconds before working out what’s in it for them. Once we’ve got discount chat out of the way, me and whoever inevitably move on to Key Stage Two of the Very Expensive Coat (VEC) conversation, which is when that other person excuses my…

Photos: Photoshot, BBC Season one of The Affair told the story of a summer’s Long Island tryst between jaded middle-aged writer Noah Solloway (Dominic West) and waitress Alison Lockhart (Ruth Wilson), who’s grieving the death of her infant son. It rocked, in a smouldering manner that tugged at the heart and loins like a Farrow & Ball rendering of EL James, a sort of Fifty Shades Of Lamp Room Gray. For season two, Noah’s wife Helen (Maura Tierney: amazing) and Alison’s husband Cole (Joshua Jackson: hot) were swung heavily into proceedings for something more complex and literate but no less sexy, climaxing in a prison sentence for Noah (no spoilers). We begin season three with Noah out of jail, and working at a New York university as a creative writing…

Photo: Anna Huix “THE YORKSHIREMAN HAS GOTTEN UNDER MY SKIN AND I’M SO CROSS ABOUT IT. IS CHASING HIM AN ACT OF SELF-SABOTAGE?” DATE TWO WITH The Yorkshireman was a disaster. He seemed, adorably, nervous, but also tired. I’d taken two hours to get ready – Instagram had nothing but the fire emoji for my outfit choice – but when he stood to greet me, I saw he was wearing a faded polo shirt, old jeans and a lot of stubble. ‘Judge not,’ I thought, suddenly self-conscious of my red lips and ‘done’ hair. Aesthetics aside, he seemed excited to be with me, and we laughed, with loads of those ‘me too!’ moments happening that mean chemistry bubbles and fizzes, even if only one of us made the physical effort…

We’ve known each other since we were 13. What is your biggest regret? Not doing more travelling before I had children. My husband and I honeymooned in Scotland. It was beautiful, but I just slightly wish we had done a trek somewhere in the Andes. What is your biggest extravagance? Vintage Saint Laurent. It’s all really camp jackets in fluoro colours and shoulder pads. The awful thing is, I never have the confidence to wear them; I don’t want to look like something out of Dallas at the school gate. What is your type? I’ve always fancied smallish, but quite well-built, hairy men. Basically, monkey men. When…

Kellyanne Conway Trump’s campaign manager The former lawyer is president and CEO of The Polling Company/WomanTrend. And while she couldn’t deliver the same numbers of women as Hillary, Conway managed to improve Trump’s image, despite serious hurdles such as sexual assault allegations.

Melania Trump His wife and America’s next FLOTUS She’s the first third wife to make it to the White House, but the 46-year-old Yugoslavia-born former model who posed naked for GQ in 2000 once quipped she’d be a ‘traditional’ First Lady ‘like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy.

IT WAS AS THOUGH WE’D GONE frOM BEING HOUSEMATES, BEST FRIENDS, CONfiDANTES, TO BEING A COUPLE WITH CHEMISTRY OVERNIGHT I’VE HAD YEARS OF HORRIBLY unsuitable boyfriends and heartache. Maybe not as high-profile as Rihanna, or as many proposals as Kim Kardashian, but it took me nearly half my life to work out that my own Mr Right had been, in actual fact, right there all along. Andrew and I first met when we were just 11, as nervous Year Sevens on our first day of senior school. I spent the next few years slightly in awe of him; I was bookish and quiet, while he was popular and captain of half the sports teams. Eventually he changed schools, but we continued to exchange shy hellos when we bumped into each…

Photos: All Star, Wire Image POLLY DUNBAR Grazia contributing editor Poverty, death and sexual abuse are the dark themes of Anna Noyes’ debut collection of interconnected short stories about women, which take place in Maine, New England. Her prose is beautifully evocative: ‘He prowls and paces my memory like its borders cage him’ – but the subject matter’s a little too bleak for me. MELISSA HENRY Grazia editorial assistant These short stories explore dark and sometimes disturbing issues of love, loss and sexual abuse. Pushing you to the edge of your comfort zone, this is not for the faint-hearted. Noyes is without a doubt a talented writer and hits the right notes, with each story ending exactly how a short story should: left to your own interpretation. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia…

CITY LIVING The adaptation of Zadie Smith’s fourth novel, NW, is an accomplished work that brings modern London to life with a bit of zip and polish.

YOU COULD ALMOST HEAR the sighs of disappointment across the world as the news broke: Prince Harry is no longer single – and it’s official. Last week, the 32-year-old took the unprecedented step of issuing a statement describing American actor Meghan Markle as his girlfriend. The announcement from Kensington Palace came after two weeks of reports that the royal had been secretly dating the star of US drama Suits . In some coverage, Meghan was labelled ‘unsuitable’, with her family, background and 2013 divorce from producer Trevor Engelson all being called into question. This is what prompted Prince Harry to speak out. In the lengthy statement issued by his communications secretary, he confirmed the relationship and decried ‘the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones…

There was to be a symbolic firework display over the glass ceiling of the Javits Center in New York, where Hillary Clinton had planned to celebrate her historic victory on Tuesday night. Instead, half a day later, she emerged to deliver her concession speech. ‘This is painful and will be for a long time,’ said the former Secretary of State – her husband and former President, Bill, at her side. Her defeat was palpable, yet dignified. And those on the ground, including myself, reporting the aftermath of one of the most dramatic events in American history, won’t be expecting to see the woman who was widely touted to be America’s first female President in the public eye any time soon. Instead of gathering her cabinet, she is with her family…

Photos: Twitter/@terrorjrmusic, Getty Images SPARE A THOUGHT FOR KYLIE MINOGUE. For decades, she was the only Kylie worth googling, until Kylie Jenner started stealing headlines. Now word has reached Grazia that Kylie Jenner is preparing to launch herself as – drumroll – a pop star. The clues began in April, when a mini movie to promote Jenner’s lipgloss line was soundtracked by an unknown group, Terror Jr. Another song, Sugar, was used in a Michael Kors ad, but the band remained cloaked in mystery. Promotional pictures showed a three-piece fronted by an enigmatic pink-wigged singer who never reveals her face and goes by the name Lisa Terror. Fans immediately speculated that Lisa was actually Kylie – bolstered by the fact that she was the only person the band followed on…

The girls at school who had Naf Naf tracksuits and boyfriends with cars were always the ones who got an early handle on swearing. And fourth-wave feminism dictates that our icons are sweary and proud – Caitlin Moran, Lena Dunham and Helen Mirren all give great cuss. As maestros of their art, when they swear, they’re bold, persuasive and glorious. But not everyone’s got Malcolm Tucker’s profanisaurus or rhythm at their fingertips (‘Just come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off!’) and what I’m not so keen on is the casual F-bombs that are littered through daily life. And I hate to go down the…

IF LAURA WASSER WERE A Hollywood agent, she would easily be among the most powerful in the business. The list of clients she has represented reads like an A-list roll-call: Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher, Heidi Klum, Ryan Reynolds, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera... Laura’s role, however, is not landing these stars multimillion-dollar film or music contracts; rather disentangling them from one particular contract they no longer wish to be shackled with – marriage. The A-list’s go-to divorce lawyer, Laura, 48, has been representing the great and the good for 20 years, but her name has become more widely known in the past year thanks, in part, to two of the most acrimonious Hollywood divorces in recent memory: those of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard (she represented Johnny),…

LETTER OF THE WEEK TOUGH LESSONS Having read ‘How I survived a nervous breakdown’ (14 Nov), I felt the urge to write, having got the T-shirt, aged 15, mid-exam leave. I buckled under stress, no sleep and lack of appetite, and woke to find myself in an adolescent mental hospital. Six months later, I emerged a free woman – four stone heavier, with no exams to my name and so sedated that my tongue would hang out of my mouth. Of my 15 fellow patients, only 13 would be released. One girl, aged 14, overdosed and the other is still an in-patient. I am now 34 and that episode changed my life beyond comprehension. I rarely speak of it but, to anyone pondering whether to take medication to get you…

Now, with the Sun entering a financial section of your chart, you need to concentrate on a contract or arrangement that some of those involved don’t fully understand. While avoiding coming across as overbearing, you’ll have to seize control of the situation and make sure you don’t lose out due to someone else’s laziness.
