We are a nation obsessed. With Love Island , that is. Perhaps it was the world-whelm that did it – because what else has delivered a better escape from the non-stop bad news cycle of the last six months? We are totally on-board with this turn of events. And, it seems, so is the fashion world – which has been struck with love fever. See page 20 for more (plus how to shop the best of the islanders’ looks IRL). But if the exhibitionist look isn’t your thing, take heed from the A-listers championing summer’s modesty blaze (page 32). The way we look and dress are so often key to how we express ourselves and, on page 49, journalist and mother Sally Windsor examines what it’s been like to raise…

Photos: Wenn, Wireimage BRANGELINA MAY BE NO MO ORE, but it seems that Jennifer Aniston, 48, still can’t escape the spectre of Angelina lina Jolie. According to insiders, Angelina – who was implicated in Jennifer’s divorce from Brad Pitt after starring with him in Mr & Mrs Smith back in 2005 – is at the root of Jennifer’s recent falling-out with long-term friend Chelsea Handler. One well-placed source told Grazia , ‘After Brangelina split last year, Chelsea was very, very vocal about how much she dislikes Angelina, and Jennifer found some of her remarks below the belt. The last thing Jennifer wants is to be constantly pitted against Angelina, and she felt that people would naturally conflate Chelsea’s opinions about Angelina with her own. Despite everything that happened, Jen has…

Photos: MEGA, Getty Images, Rex Features IT CAN FEEL LIKE an immutable law of fashion physics that the hotter the temperature, the smaller the outfit. But back in May, we alerted you to the rise of modesty dressing on the catwalks, and now, even as the mercury rises, fashion-forward customers are turning their (covered-up) backs on get-it-all-out outfits for ones that involve more fabric and less flesh-flashing. That’s right – this summer, we’re covering up rather than stripping off. High-necked, long-sleeved, full-length dresses are having their moment in the sun, with roomier cuts replacing second-skin silhouettes and opaque fabrics favoured over sheer ones. It’s a celebration of the lost art of leaving something to the imagination and a deliberate de-Kardashianisation of our wardrobes. On the silver screen, Sofia Coppola’s latest…

PHOTOGRAPHS JENNY LEWIS MY DAU UGHTER RUBY HAS JUST flown pastt me down the stairs. She’s got a fidget spinnner in her hand and she’s off to London for the day with her dad, James. Wearing a a black Pokémon hoodie, grey shorts andd black trainers, in my eyes, she’s a normal nnine-year-old. The elder of my two daughhters. And by her family and friends, she’s always assumed to be a normal nine-year-old. It’s just everyone else thinks this ‘norm mal’ kid is a boy, not a girl. I know every mother thinks it – ‘my child is exxceptional, like no other’ – but seriously, I knew from 10 months old that there was something extraordinary about my daughter. She just was. Whateverr your concept is of je ne sais…

WE ALL KNOW that long-wear foundations have traditionally had a tendency towards heaviness and caking. But not so now: Max Factor’s brilliant Lasting Performance Foundation harnesses three separate oil-absorbers to set the foundation and provide a flawless and subtle-looking finish that not only lasts for hours, but is touch-proof, too. Impressive stuff! ‘Achieving a natural-looking base that lasts all day has previously often involved two or more products and countless steps,’ says Caroline Barnes, Max Factor UK make-up artist. ‘Whether I’m working with a model, or a bride on her wedding day, I know that this clever foundation won’t fade or smudge and will look beautifully natural, all day long.’ A base that stays in place, no matter what the day throws your way! What’s not to love? Max Factor…

I assumed, given the recent press coverage on men and boys getting around clothing rules by wearing skirts, your 10 Hot story would be about how summer is sexist for men. But no, despite the fact we can pretty much wear what we like to work, while many men have to be suited and booted, Dolly managed to make it seem a curse against womankind. And what’s wrong with letting the men at the barbie? If they want to get overheated and smoke-bound, that’s fine with me. That women spend more on holiday packing says more about their vanity. No one forces you to buy clothes and it’s certainly not sexist. This gives feminism a bad name. Karen E SEXY MAMMA Not for a long time has a magazine stopped…

Photos: Getty Images, Splash News, Film Magic It’s quite the opening salvo that Jay-Z calls the first song of his 14th album Kill Jay-Z. He raps the line, ‘You can’t heal what you never reveal’ and with that signals the beginning of his most confessional work. It’s an album that’s almost broken the internet for its open-hearted apology to wife Beyoncé for his infidelities and one that’s even sparked a conversation around whether or not this could be the rapper’s most feminist moment. ‘You know you owe the truth/To all the youth that fell in love with Jay-Z,’ he continues, drawing a line between the young hustler Jay-Z of old and the newly conscious poet. Back in the late ’90s and early noughties, Jay’s career-defining albums Reasonable Doubt and The…

I DECIDED TO PUBLISH The Incest Diary because, after almost two decades in publishing, I know how rare it is to read a book that troubles you into having dozens and dozens of conversations, some of the most interesting I have had in my life.The Incest Diaries is also the single most disturbing book I have ever read. It’s not only due to the nature of the abuse, but because the author’s account chronicles her sexual pleasure. Is this complicity? Is it consent? Can you consent to sex with your father, if he’s been raping you since the age of three? This is profoundly confronting. It’s not what a victim usually looks like. The Incest Diary raises complex issues about art, freedom, consent, and victimhood and I felt the author’s…

WELL CHECKED Most adults have 10-40 moles – my pale skin is home to a constellation of these pigmented spots. It’s vital to monitor them, as changes in colour/shape/size, itching or bleeding could be a sign of skin cancer. If in doubt, book a visit to your GP, or for an instant expert opinion, there are several places that will check your moles on the spot (pardon the pun). One-stop-shop The Mole Clinic suggests annual checks – nationwide centres offer full-body screening. During a 45-minute appointment (£135), an experienced nurse will talk you through what to look out for, before putting your moles under a microscope. Patients with suspect spots are handed over to a dermatologist – moles can be removed there and then if needed. Meanwhile, selected Boots stores…

Product photo: Gianandrea Traina DODGY DRESS CODE Is summer sexist? (3 July). Yes. But it’s sexist towards MEN. Women win at summer – we have so much more choice in attire. I feel sorry for the fellas slogging along in their suits, shoes and socks, while I breeze along in sandals and a floaty skirt. I recently read about a man who, banned from wearing smart shorts in the office, went to work in his girlfriend’s dress, and I am right behind him in his quest for legs-out equality. As far as men getting an easier ride in preparation for holidays and spending less on clothes, this is an individual choice, rather than an obligation. We are so lucky to live in a time and country of absolute choice. If…

CHRISTIAN DIOR MONEY, POWER AND FASHION – it’s a fairly combustible combination. Now imagine them as three people and seat them together on child-sized spindly chairs in a gilded room in a staggeringly grand building. Add a heatwave. Then hydrate them only with champagne and feed them canapés the size of marbles. Serve up the world’s most expensive and beautiful clothes. Lob in some world-class scintillating gossip (Lucinda Chambers’ Vrexit from Vogue – see page 22). And you have yourself the perfect alchemy for one helluva Paris haute couture week. Herewith, the suitably bitesize highlights… AVE MARIA ‘They were unbelievably modern and brave,’ said Maria Grazia Chiuri, shortly before Dior, the first major show of the week, was due to start. We were in her private cabine backstage and she…

You might even want to wield your own axe, cut them doown to size. For most of us, that’s just a fantasy. Lucinda Chambers, though, took the nuclear option. Sacked as fashionn director of Vogue after 25 years in the posst – and 36 years at the magazine – last week w she told niche fashion site Vestoj that, contrary to reports, she had not chosen to leave the company: she’d beenn fired. One of her friends (also recently fired) counselled Lucinda to stay quiet about what had happened. ‘The story should be that you’ve had the…

TAMARA RARELY LETS PETRA OUT OF HER SIGHT AND SHE IS SO WORRIED FOR HER Last week, his song choice proved eerily prescient when Petra’s hermetically sealed world was blown wide open, following the news that she had split from her businessman husband James Stunt, in what is set to become the most expensive divorce in British history. While much has been written about the colourful Stunt, very little is known about Petra, 28, who has three children: Lavinia, four, and two-year-old twins James Jr…

It’s called Los Angeles Apparel – and, lordy! Do I feel compromised about it! On the one hand, hoorah! When can I get it? And where? Currently, Los Angeles Apparel is wholesale-only, but Charney plans to grow it into its own thing, eventually selling directly to consumers. I want this to happen s o on.

I watched as a group of friends brought him down the slipway and carried him into the water, and then as he swam all the way around the headlands using just his arms. I was astounded but, gazing over at Michelle, standing there holding their baby, I could see that she was profoundly sad. She hadn’t swum in the sea since the accident either. In that moment, I just knew… ‘I’m going to have to swim with her,’ I thought. ‘She needs to get back into the water.’ Because, like Michelle, I have a husband who is paralysed – with terminal motor neurone disease – and this was happening against the backdrop of my own tragedy. IT WASN’T MY OWN TRAGEDY that inspired me to start swimming, it was somebody…

Model: Valerija Sestic at Elite Model Management THE SPIEL: You may have heard the term CoolSculpting bandied around. This non-surgical treatment permanently blasts the pockets of fat that you often can’t budge – by freezing them. The process was discovered after doctors saw that children who ate lots of ice lollies experienced fat reduction in their cheeks. ‘Research showed that fat cells can be killed off when exposed to low temperatures, well before skin could be damaged,’ reveals Dr Galyna Selezneva, the first qualified doctor in the UK to have studied at California’s CoolSculpting University. ‘The process delivers controlled cooling to target fat cells,’ says Dr Galyna. ‘During the procedure, treated fat cells are crystallised…

Photos: Alexis Armanet/Mondadori Photo CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul Much as you might resent the resistant attitude of the person closest to you, it’s important to reflect on your own behaviour. The fact that the Sun in your sign is in conflict with Pluto suggests you’ve played a part in whatever’s been going wrong, rather than digging deep and exploring the true cause of your anger or frustration. Instead of going into battle, analyse very closely what’s really at the root of the problem.
