THE ONLY TIME I have ever been tempted to use the hashtag MeToo was last week, after reading author Katie Roiphe’s account of how she got destroyed on social media by feminists. Because: #MeToo, Katie Roiphe! #MeBloodyToo! While I haven’t ever been MeToo’d in the traditional sense – sexually harassed in the work place, you know – I have definitely been non-sexually harassed online by women so convinced they were right and I’m an arse, they felt entitled to destroy me. To vilify me. To e-shame me. To call me ‘stupid’, ‘vile’, ‘dangerous’, ‘sick-making’. For starters. My crime was writing a book questioning some of the tenets of modern feminism, suggesting not all of us felt violated every time a man checked us out in the street[1] , and proposing that…

PRINCE HARRY’S fiancée has pretty much cleared her diary to plan the couple’s wedding, together with her best friend and de facto wedding planner, Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney. According to one of their mutual friends, they are on the phone ‘every day, often late into the night, ticking things off their never ending to-do list.’ The actress has also been zooming down the M4 in recent weeks to have meetings at Windsor Castle with the Queen and her team of in-house staff, who are helping to coordinate the wedding. The Queen and Prince Charles will host a traditional wedding breakfast at St George’s hall, but have had very little to do with the couple’s guest lists. ‘Meghan and Harry have been told to invite who they want; there is no…

KKW X MARIO KIM K KKW X MARIO IF THERE IS one beauty trend that’s utterly polarising, it’s blue eyeshadow. Reminiscent of the ’80s or ’90s, when it was all the rage to line every last millimetre of eye with a garish cyan or sky blue – we see you, Xtina – now it’s back with a vengeance, and a revamp. We have the holy mother of make-up, Kim K, to thank for that too. She wore a buffed-in feline flick to celebrate the launch of the KKW x Mario (Dedivanovic – her long-time make-up artist) shadow palette. The shade is ‘Libra’ and the KKW Krew are calling it the palette’s hero colour. But it’s not just Kim; the S/S ’18 catwalks were awash with blue hues, from House of…

PEARL REDDINGTON I love the subtleness of the message with the 8s in this piece (right). We’ve had to shout and scream to even get politicians to consider our rights but now we’re at the table. HELEN STEELE I love that Helen brings so much colour (left) to the world, and to this issue. You can really feel a bold spirit erupting from the women of Ireland. LOUISE KAVANAGH When we started talking about reproductive rights, it had to be solemn. The point of the project was to throw glitter on the issue without minimising it. Louise has done this with her embellished piece (right). VISIT THEHUNREALISSUES.COM. PHOTOS: GETTY NATALIE B COLEMAN Natalie’s collections embrace and support women. That love seeps out of this heart dress (below right) – even…

THERE WAS A TIME when the notion of Ant without Dec, or Dec without Ant, was unfathomable, but in the past few weeks that moment has come. Following the literal car crash of Ant McPartlin’s career, where he drove headlong into a car containing a young family, the 42-year-old has been in rehab awaiting his court date for drink-driving. Meanwhile, his on-screen partner of 30 years, Declan Donnelly, hosted their award-winning television show – Saturday Night Takeaway – on his own, and will reportedly host the forthcoming series of Britain’s Got Talent solo. On paper, it could seem as if the untouchable Ant and Dec brand – once worth more than £100 million – will never recover. ‘Ant is mortified,’ a long-term friend told me. ‘He talked about his problems…

BREAKING NEWS: contouring isn’t the only technique in town for sculpting cheekbones and adding definition to your face. In a refreshing move, this season’s make-up mavens are throwing it back to the ’80s (with a modern twist, of course) by subtly sculpting the face with a swipe of an old favourite – blush. The most prominent label leading the way back to blush is Chanel, where legendary make-up artist Tom Pecheux teamed hot pink rosy cheeks with clashing teal eyeshadow and glossy red lips – yes, all at the same time. Don’t be scared, it can be done (although having an expert make-up artist on hand certainly helps). Elsewhere, Bora Aksu went down the bold-is-better route for a prettifying flush, while models at Puma Fenty sported a swirl of iridescent…

LOCATED ON the equator, 600 miles from mainland Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands, made famous by Charles Darwin, are unlike anywhere else in the world. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, each island in the archipelago is different, with the landscape varying from snow-white sandy beaches to scorched black lava fields, lush green forests and active volcanoes. Their isolated location’s ethereal environment is home to the most extraordinary species of endemic wildlife, with a lack of predators making the animals fearless, so visitors can get up close and personal. Made up of 14 islands, five of which are inhabited, the Galápagos are a National Park and World Heritage Site. Tourism is restricted, with fewer people making the experience even more special. Here’s my pick of what the islands have to offer… VOLCANO SCALING…

Time Is A Killer Michel Bussi (£12.99, W&N) In France, Bussi is a big deal – he’s the second best-selling author in the country (he sold more than a million books in 2016) and has won multiple literary prizes – but only crime buffs might have heard of him over here. In this book, 27 years after a horrendous crash that killed her parents and brother, Clotilde returns to Corsica with her own family – where she receives a letter from her mother, as if she were still alive today. As fragments of her memory return, Clotilde is forced to ask who sent the letter – and why? TRANSLATED TALES YOU’LL LOVE The Neapolitan Novels Elena Ferrante (£9.99, EUROPA EDITIONS) Starting with My Brilliant Friend, the four books that make…

THE SAD RUTH about our luvvie lovers SOURCES HAVE claimed that Dominic Cooper and Ruth Negga have ‘amicably’ split after eight years together. They met while starring on the stage in 2009, but the relationship apparently ‘ran its course’. SMARTER THAN the average yogi bore IF YOU LOVE YOGA, but hate yoga-bores then the new Ba&sh x Ana Heart collab is for you. The two brands have joined forces to create a collection for yogis who have a cheeky side (see slogan tee: ‘I do yoga & drink tequila’). Available from 11 April; ba-sh.com HELLO FROM THE ministerial side… MULTI-AWARD-WINNING ARTIST , eternal tear-jerker and, now, wedding minister. Last week, it emerged that the singer Adele had married her close friends Alan Carr and Paul Drayton in January in the…

Equal representation in entertainment is a hot topic. Last week, Steven Spielberg said he would consider a woman wielding Indiana Jones’s whip, Ian Hislop and Paul Merton claimed women MPs do get asked to host Have I Got News For You, but are too modest to do it, then Radio X released its 100 Best of British songs – featuring 100 male artists and bands. Annoying. But how do you want to be represented? As a token woman on the kind of panel show described by Caitlin Moran as ‘a boys’ game that works for boys’? Or is it with performances like Sharon Horgan in Catastrophe or Anna Maxwell Martin in Motherland? Shows like Big Little Lies, Feud and The Handmaid’s Tale? Molly Windsor depicting the Rochdale scandal in Three…

IT WAS THE WEEK that London’s murderous streets claimed their 50th victim in barely three months: a week when the killing and bloodshed seemed never to end. First the city’s vicious turf wars ended the life of ‘joyous’ aspiring beautician Tanesha Melbourne-Blake, caught in the crossfire of a Bank Holiday ‘reprisal attack’ in Tottenham. Minutes later 16-year-old Amaan Shakoor was shot in the face by two hooded men as he stood outside a leisure centre in Walthamstow. Then, on Wednesday, ‘academically brilliant’ 18-year-old Israel Ogunsola was knifed to death in Hackney, shortly after a middle-aged man was killed after being ‘punched’ to the floor at a betting shop in Clapton. As the slaughter unfolded, headlines shouted that London had now overtaken New York in a league table of murder. Against…

AMID FRENZIED CONJECTURE in the States that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are on the cusp of a reunion (‘Brad: “Jen’s a great mum to my kids”’ and ‘Justin Theroux found old love notes from Brad Pitt in Jennifer Aniston’s house before split’ are actual recent headlines), Grazia can report that a quieter romance is in fact said to be on the horizon for the 49-year-old actress. Last week, word reached Grazia that Jen has been ‘growing close’ to her good friend, the Arrested Development actor Will Arnett, 47, in the wake of her split from Justin, 46, earlier this year. The pair were first linked last month, when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party together. And despite denials from their camps following reports of a relationship, the couple…

SHOPPING: FENELLA WEBB BLAME IT ON A renewed love of all things ’90s. Blame it on Instagram. Blame it on the return of show-off dressing. Logo T-shirts, in all their gaudy glory, are back. Seen at fashion houses from Gucci to Vetements, the new logo tees cater to every taste (well, apart from minimal) and are all buoyed by the same hype factor. A rejection of the pared-back good taste that reigned for so long, with their playful, OTT logos, these are unapologetically bold. If you’re going to commit publicly to your favourite brand, you might as well go all in. As we’d expect with a trophy buy, these T-shirts have price tags to match. Frequently coming in at around £200, they soar to over £700 (ouch!) for Loewe’s shredded…

The Body Wash Can’t bear to skip your morning shower? Wash with Gallinée’s La Culture Body Milk, £27.90. The triple biotic complex of prebiotics, probiotics and exfoliating lactic acid all help to promote the function of your skin’s flora, without stripping natural oils or disrupting the skin’s pH. The Face Aid Beauty editor favourite, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+), £16, has been reformulated with natural prebiotic aqua posae filiformis (APF) and mannose (a naturally occurring sugar that rebalances microbiome to be even better). Its aim? To control acne, reduce inflammation and stimulate the skin’s natural immunity. The Hydrator Dry skin is a tricky one as it favours staphylococci, a bacteria linked to acne, and inhibits the growth of beneficial organisms that help balance it, so hydrating your skin is key.…

PHOTOGRAPHS: HAARALA HAMILTON Each week, our resident cook Anna Barnett inspires us to try out a hot ingredient, by using it in three amazing dishes. This week... NASTURTIUM LEAVES A current favourite garnish on the London restaurant scene, nasturtium leaves are a delicate green in colour and have a tangy, peppery note that adds a special something to a dish. A variety of watercress, the nasturtium is related to the garden cress and mustard plant, and also has very high levels of vitamin C. Use it as an ingredient or add it when serving, the pretty leaves adding a lovely decorative touch as well as great taste. Nasturtiums are easy to grow at home, producing vibrant orange, red and pink flowers, which are also edible. Or you can buy the…

Unfiltered with James O’Brien One-hour conversations with mystery guests from Lily Allen to Eric Cantona, it’s worth delving into this series, but we particularly recommend the episode with Bill Browder about how he became Vladimir Putin’s number one enemy. Ray Moss: No Stone Unturned From the mind of Benjamin Partridge (creator of the Beef And Dairy Network Podcast) comes this new Radio 1 pod where Ray Moss – private investigator, detective, truth seeker – explores the small personal mysteries of confused listeners, like was my loyalty card cloned? Wolverine: The Long Night Not content with taking over the cinema (and toy aisles), Marvel has jumped on the podcasting bandwagon, with probably the most appealing of their characters, Wolverine. An episodic show, the story begins with a grisly murder, with Logan…

People who don’t have children don’t understand what life is like managing two little ones, let alone trying to have a social life AND fitting in a career. I frequently find myself in the situation Celine describes, where I am late for a social engagement because my husband’s asked me to put the kids to bed. The simple reason for this is that they listen to me more, and go to bed on time rather than giving him the runaround after he’s had a 12-hour day at the office. All you have to do, Ms Smith, is sit around sipping prosecco while your mum friend is run ragged. Husbands aren’t always able to seamlessly step into the breach and, mostly, the little ones are asking for their mums. It’s a…

1 UP MATT LEBLANC Finally, a new series of Episodes, featuring the silverest of all the foxes – LeBlanc – delivering our favourite TV conceit: a real person doing a fictionalised version of themselves. 2 NEW IN MIGUEL GOMEZ As the charmingly limited, e xtre mely easy-on-the-eye baby daddy Rafi in Showtime’s exquisite S MILF. Another fine reason to watch it (which makes about 37 in total, so far). 3. NEW IN EPSY CAMPBELL BARR Costa Rica’s first black female vice president, voted in last week. A liberal economist with a truly excellent name. 4. NEW IN MARIA MAHMOOD The first Miss England contestant to wear a hijab: the psychology student daughter of a cabbie running her own, quiet, unexpected revolution. 5. UP LILY BRAZIER The artist also known as…

PHOTOS: CAPITAL PICTURES, REX FEATURES, CHANNEL 4 I HAVE A FRIEND who is best friends with her ex-boyfriend. And I mean best friends. He’s not someone she keeps pencilled in for a biannual pick-me-up, to keep on her ego’s back-burner for compliments when required. They see each other every week, support one another warmly, and only occasionally reference their year-long relationship. ‘What’s wrong with you?’ I screech. But she trots out the line about how she’s always loved his company and couldn’t bear the thought of losing such a good mate. ‘But he’s been inside you!’ I protest. ‘You forget about all that,’ she insists. I wouldn’t. I know the approximate location of everyone I have ever slept with and, if they come within two miles of me, a cage…

ABORTION IS illegal under nearly every circumstance in Ireland. But, in recent years, a reinvigorated grassroots movement has brought the issue to a point that few could have imagined just five years ago. Tragic cases (such as that of Savita Halappanavar, who died after being refused an abortion) have harshly highlighted how untenable our abortion laws are, and many brave women have spoken out about their own abortions in a way that Ireland has never experienced. According to polls, there is widespread support to repeal the Eighth Amendment – the constitutional ban on abortion. And finally the referendum has a date: 25 May 2018. Now, just six weeks ahead of polling day, canvassers across Ireland are mobilising under the Together For Yes campaign. Every evening, pro-choice campaigners are knocking on…

IRINA PETROVA’S FINGERS TREMBLE as she pulls out old photographs of her and her best friend of 27 years, Yulia Skripal. In a faint voice, she says, ‘This is when she had blonde hair, and here she is with red hair.’ Then, a flicker of a smile at the next picture, ‘Here she is as a goth.’ Yulia seemingly reinvented herself regularly. ‘This was New Year’s Eve 2003 with her dad, Sergei,’ recalls Irina, of a shot of them beaming, rosy-cheeked, into the camera. But looking at these photos is painful for Irina since Yulia and her father, former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal, became victims of an assassination attempt on 4 March. They were found slumped on a bench in Salisbury after being poisoned by a novichok chemical nerve…

I DON’T BELIEVE you have truly experienced heartbreak until your two favourite perfumes get discontinued. It feels like a little piece of you has gone that you can’t get back. My first love was Dior Midnight Poison, which I wore throughout my early twenties when I was living in New York. It was a whirlwind romance from the get-go and a perfect synergy – all spicy, warm and lingering. I still reminisce about the times we’d go out dancing together until dawn. What I would give to be able to smell it again – to relive the memories, if even for a moment. It took a while for me to embark on a second scent affair, but finally I met L.I.L.Y by Stella McCartney (a thank you gift from Stella…

@AMY_MOLLOY. PHOTOS:THE LICENSING PROJECT, JODY PACHNIUK ON MARCH’S INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, as my Instagram feed filled up with the quote, ‘Here’s to strong women; may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them,’ I bit my tongue until I couldn’t hold my thoughts inside any longer. On my own Instagram page, I created a quote: ‘Here’s to soft women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.’ Within five minutes some of the most independent, capable women I know liked and shared the image. I hit on a home truth you won’t read on a feminist T-shirt. As one of my friends – a female entrepreneur who commands a team of 50 employees – wrote in a private message, ‘This is EXACTLY what…

Q ‘After several years of trying, and a brutal round of IVF, I am finally pregnant. But it’s so early, and the reassuring scan is many long weeks away. How can I quell this anxiety in the early months when it feels like I’m going to lose my mind about all the things that could go wrong?’ ELEANOR SAYS: The cyclical disappointment of not conceiving for a long time and the distressing thought patterns that manifest can become all-consuming. Then, you went through IVF. I know from experience how brutal it can be: the nauseating, painful bloating and swollen boobs from the hormones we have to inject, coupled with the mysterious dance they do with our brains, leaving us sad, teary and agitated. The egg ‘harvesting’ is no walk in…

IN 1981, THE SMALL, conservative town of Antelope, Oregon became home to a 60,000-acre Indian sex cult. In the introduction to the arresting documentary series Wild Wild Country, Antelope is painstakingly depicted as a prime example of the rust-belt Americana we heard so much about in the Trump campaign. Not so much after his election, save for the odd regular Joe makeover on Queer Eye. Ranchers in dungarees are one corn-chewing long shot short of going the full Beverly Hillbillies. Stetsons feature prominently and regularly. Postcard archive footage of the neighbourhood post office and rambling through-roads are very much redolent of the Ebbing, Missouri landscape where Frances McDormand put up her three billboards. Yet it’s here that the clichés end in this powerful document that keeps a measured eye over…

DON’T DIVIDE AND CONQUER As a 37-year-old mother on maternity leave with my second child, I’m loving Womb With A View. I also enjoyed The men who take sharenting seriously (2 Apr), where dads gave their point of view of sharing parenting responsibilities. My husband equally shares the role, too. It was great to see it being celebrated. However, I was slightly amused – and a bit shocked – by Celine Smith’s ‘I’ve dumped my mum friends who treat their husbands like an extra child’ (9 Apr). There are plenty of relationships where both sides co-parent very well. It was almost like she was judging her friends’ relationships. People make things work in their own way. Lynsey…
