(which is how it happens, you may be aware). A couple of things have changed in that intervening decade. One of them is, you can now do it online, so: relatively painlessly. This is good. The other thing is, selfies. This is bad. Turns out, if you’ve spent the last however long taking routine pictures of your own head, using your own smartphone, angling the camera just so, in light and against a backdrop you know will flatter the crow’s feet off of ya, retaking and deleting, retaking and deleting, until you come up with this one image you consider acceptable for consumption by the public (/your most judgemental friends/your most regretted exes), an image you filter the bejesus out of, before finally posting on Instagram and waiting for the…

GANNI The #GanniGirls were out in force off the catwalk, repping Ganni’s cowboy boots and leopard print. On the catwalk, Ditte Reffstrup sent out a gang of hiker girls in walking boots and utility jackets with slip dresses and denim. CECILIE BAHNSEN One of the breakout stars of Copenhagen, unabashed romantic Cecilie Bahnsen’s dreamy (heatwave-proof) dresses were impossible not to fall in love with. Scandi cool meets Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Expect to see those hybrid ‘trainer clogs’ everywhere next season.…

PHOTOS: MEGA, WENN, GOFF Another week, another report about Meghan Markle’s increasingly strained relationship with her father. As far as the Markle family is aware, the Duchess of Sussex has no plans to make any contact with Thomas Markle. Yet the key to ending this saga lies in her hands. Thomas has privately told friends that he would honour his daughter’s wishes if only he knew what they were. So, the most common-sense thing for Meghan to do is start communicating with him. There is, of course, the fear that Thomas will give yet more interviews and reveal anything that Meghan discusses with him. In that sense, she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. But unfortunately, she’s let it go too far: the situation is unravelling, and…

1. Keep your cool and campaign Don’t panic – join the movement #2020dontbelate #mission2020 to apply pressure on governments to enforce the Paris Climate Agreement (signed by every country in the world apart from… you guessed it, Trump’s America). Also lend your voice to gofossilfree.org/uk to encourage thousands of individuals and companies to switch investments from fossil fuel to renewable energy technologies. 2. Switch your power Our addiction to fossil fuels needs to end now. Switching to British green energy company Ecotricity.co.uk – with their renewable wind power and grass-based alternative to fracking – helps channel more investment into renewable energy. 3. Be a clever consumer In industrialised economies we consume too much, so think minimal, adopt a zero-tolerance approach to food waste, and think smartly about possessions that take…

SHOPPING: SOPHIE HENDERSON. PHOTOS:THE MEGA AGENCY, CATWALKING.COM RIGHT NOW, CHANCES are that the thought alone of autumn clothes will make you hot under the collar. Or just hot all over for that matter. Because while the heatwave might have been great for summer spirit, it’s been awful for fashion forward-planning. Who wants to be thinking about cosy knits when you can’t even keep your cool in a cami? But leave it to Meghan Markle – a woman who seemingly never breaks a sweat – to show us how to do next season now. At a Surrey wedding last week, the duchess wore a sleeveless navy mididress by Canadian label Club Monaco. Naturally, it promptly sold out everywhere. Too slow? Fear not, for pleated skirts like the one Meghan was wearing…

VILHELM PARFUMERIE: LIBERTYLONDON.COM SEX IS SYNONYMOUS with scent; recall Marilyn Monroe’s admission that her nightwear consisted of Chanel No. 5 – and Chanel No. 5 alone – and you’ve got all the proof you need that perfumes have long been used to entice the opposite (or same) sex. ‘Scent and sex have been linked since the beginning of humanity,’ says Benoît Verdier, co-founder of cult fragrance brand Ex Nihilo. ‘A number of studies have demonstrated that scent triggers far stronger emotions when it comes to sex. The olfactory bulb, which starts inside the nose, has direct connections to two areas of the brain that are strongly embedded in emotion and memory.…

No Further Questions Gillian McAllister (£7.99, PENGUIN BOOKS) The bond between sisters is unbreakable – but what happens when your sister is placed on trial for killing your baby daughter? Martha is unsure what to believe or even hope for as she faces every mother’s worst nightmare. It’s a perfectly plotted courtroom drama and an emotional roller-coaster in one book. Lying In Wait Liz Nugent (£7.99, PENGUIN BOOKS) The Fitzsimons are a highly respectable Irish family with a seemingly perfect life – but a lot of skeletons in the closet. A murderous judge and an emotionless social climber, Mr and Mrs Fitzsimons are quite the pair. Following their son’s discovery of a body in their garden, each development brings to light this creepy family’s secrets. Invisible City Julia Dahl (£7.99,…

KUDOS, KELLY I have so much time for Kelly Allen’s frustration (The reality of being the last single friend, 30 July). Whether it’s my best male friend saying he can’t believe I’m single, to my dad saying I’ll need to find a boyfriend for holidays, the suggestion is I am unfulfilled without a partner. On a recent weekend away with my girlfriends, discussion turned to our dream weddings. I dared to suggest that I might never get married. My friends assured me that I would meet someone soon, but this misses the point – I am happy alone! Megan IT’S NOT ABOUT GENDER The fact Gareth Watkins is using his masculinity to frame his article angers me (The stay-at-home dad conversation has to change, 30 July).…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES SHE’S REVOLUTIONISED the modelling world with her powerful look and positive statements. Now Ruby Rose is set to transform the superhero universe, too. She’s just been signed up to front a new TV show, where she’ll don a cape to play Batwoman, whose alter-ego Kate Kane has been portrayed as a lesbian in the comics since 2006. Ruby said that taking on the first big-name lesbian superhero is ‘a childhood dream’. The feisty flame-haired caped crusader is something she ‘would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on TV and felt alone and different’. She’s already got us reaching for the scarlet hair dye in homage……

Haven’t got time to watch an hour-long episode of your favourite programme? Now you can watch 10-minute shows on a new streaming service called NewTV. You could also copy increasing numbers of book lovers by using one of the apps created to condense books into 15-minute reads – or set your audiobook to ‘fast’ and whizz through Wuthering Heights on lunch. Except, hold on – reading and watching television are two of life’s great joys. Do we really want to speed our way through moments we used to savour from the comfort of a sofa? Sometimes, in this hectic world, we should all try to take time out to slow things down.…

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES THERE IS a shocking problem with anti-Semitism in the Labour Party; it is in danger of becoming institutionally anti-Semitic and this won’t change while Jeremy Corbyn remains leader. This might seem like a surprising thing for me to say; I ran as a Labour candidate twice, became a Labour Party member as soon as it was legally possible, and have several staunch Labour politicians in the family. My late grandfather, Tony Benn, was a Cabinet minister in Labour governments and a close ally of Corbyn’s; my uncle, Hilary Benn, is the former Shadow Foreign Secretary; and my mother Nita Clarke worked closely with Tony Blair. But the sad truth is, right now, many people feel Labour doesn’t deserve to be the next government – and that is…

HE IS, QUITE SIMPLY, Hollywood’s biggest movie star. Yet for all his box-office bankability and charismatic charm, Tom Cruise remains one of the entertainment world’s most enduring enigmas. Currently riding sky-high on the success of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (the film topped box offices for two weeks in a row and made $330 million globally), Tom, 56, is still blazing hot property. And, by all accounts, he’s also the film industry’s Mr Nice (co-star Vanessa Kirby recently called him ‘the most generous man I have ever met’, while Henry Cavill confirmed reports that he’s ‘charming, professional, always on time, kind’). But things haven’t always been so picture-perfect. ‘Ten years ago, Tom’s image had been hugely damaged after he talked so openly about his devotion to Scientology,’ said an LA film…

PHOTOS: THE MEGA AGENCY BARELY A DAY has gone by this summer without photos surfacing of Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber following their surprise engagement announcement in July, after just one month of dating (highlights include the pair golfing and getting couples massages and haircuts together). But last week there was speculation that the pair may be in trouble when they were pictured crying in various spots in New York. Justin, 24, was quick to explain, telling photographers the next day, ‘You’ve got good days and you got bad days… it’s not real if it doesn’t have any bad days.’ Later, the singer – who, like Hailey, is a devout Christian – was seen holding a copy of The Meaning Of Marriage, a book written by Timothy Keller. It explains…

PHOTO: DONNA SCAROLA, INSTAGRAM/@VIRGIETOVAR “I WAS TAUGHT MY LIFE WOULD BEGIN LATER – WHEN I LOST WEIGHT” WHEN YOU LOOK at a fat person, what do you see? Someone sad and undesirable? Someone who goes home and cries into a chocolate cake? Someone without friends? Well, I’m here to tell you that you’re dead wrong. There are lots of things that are special about being fat. The way it feels when I see how strong my legs are because my muscles have developed to carry my large frame. The delicious feeling of being able to hold my lover down. The way my body suits a dress with a bold print. The way my thighs move when I dance. I didn’t always think this would be my life. Like many, I…

MAIN PHOTO (POSED BY MODELS): GETTY IMAGES OLIVER WAS 10 months old when I finally realised I needed help. I’d been spiralling in silence since his birth, labouring under a dark cloud of crippling anxiety. My deep fear that I’d be deemed a failure by the health visitor or, worse, that my baby boy would be taken from me meant I hid away how I was feeling, wading through the treacle of post-traumatic stress disorder alone. Just a year earlier, I’d accepted a directing job to coincide with my soon-to-be newborn turning three months old. How naive I was to think that I would be righting the inequalities in the film industry – where only 4% of directors are women – so soon after birth. After a traumatic C-section, even…

SWEETCORN Corn on the cob is a foodie thing. Blame it on barbecues, street food and Mexican restaurants such as Wahaca, but come summer, sales of corn on the cob soar. In season now, it’s at its best when bought in its husk. It tastes delicious boiled and served with oodles of melted butter, salt and pepper, but is great with many ingredients and can be cooked in lots of different ways. It’s also high in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. COCONUT COATED CORN POPS WITH LIME SALT AND SRIRACHA Feeds: 4-6 Preparation: 15 minutes Cooking: 15 minutes INGREDIENTS 4 corn cobs 3 handfuls of coconut flakes 1 pack of lolly sticks 3 limes, quartered Sriracha mayonnaise: 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce 3 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise ½ tsp Dijon mustard Lime salt:…

WHEN MEGHAN MARKLE’S father Thomas pulled out of the royal wedding following a heart attack and news that he had colluded with the paparazzi to stage photos, few could have predicted that the ‘Markle debacle’ could get any more dramatic. Yet the headlines have persisted, with Thomas giving unprecedented interviews revealing everything from Prince Harry’s thoughts on Donald Trump and Brexit to how Meghan is ‘terrified’ of her new role as a duchess. Despite suggestions that Meghan was planning to visit her father in the US to make amends, there are – according to a friend – no immediate plans for Meghan to contact her father. ‘She’s big on being true to herself and taking care of herself, and if this means avoiding toxic relationships, so be it. It’s not…

PHOTOS: WENN, GETTY, MEGA It was only a few weeks ago that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx were batting away rumours they were on the rocks due to ‘trust issues’. But last week, the couple unequivocally put split rumours to rest when they were pictured in California looking every inch the happy couple. Seen kissing and doing yoga on a Malibu beach, the pictures were in stark contrast to a summer of claims of relationship difficulties, which Katie’s publicist has dismissed as ‘100% untrue’. And, according to one insider, that’s exactly what the couple intended. ‘Katie has certainly wanted to set the record straight that she and Jamie are still very much a couple,’ said a source. ‘You don’t get two movie stars cavorting on a public beach in California…

‘I’M THE BIGGEST FEMINIST AT THE TABLE’ I’M IN A HOT kitchen with Jamie Oliver, and he’s instructing me to slice yellowfin tuna with a massive knife and toss it into a sizzling pan. ‘That’s it, darling, go, go, go! Don’t be afraid!’ He’s teaching me how to cook tuna fettuccine from his new book, Jamie Cooks Italy, and it’s as life-affirming as a Soul Cycle class. For starters, he is immensely charming. Everyone who sets foot in his North London HQ is ‘sweetheart’, ‘girl’, ‘darling’ or ‘tiger’. From anyone else, this overfamiliarity might feel inappropriate. From him, it is impossible to be offended. ‘Quarter those my darling,’ he continues, talking about the tomatoes I’m now chopping. ‘There’s no science behind it, just make it look cute.’ Looking cute is…

PHOTO: CHANNEL 4 FOUR 20-SOMETHING friends are out to brunch. There’s Dory and Drew, the mis-paired couple for whom sex has soured. There’s Eliot, the loathsome gay. There’s Portia, the pretty, basic actress who wants nothing but the approval of her mother. A fifth friend is mentioned, Chantal Witherbottom. They all went to college together, some six, seven years ago. Everyone agrees Chantal was a drip, if they could remember her at all. Then Dory drops the bombshell that hangs over the uniquely amazing Search Party, your favourite new TV show, as of now. Chantal has gone missing. Imagine the world of Girls, Broad City or even, at a push, Fleabag, those super self-obsessed and super self-critical generational voices which chose to make jokes about themselves, their anxiety issues and…

This novel by award-winning novelist and poet Claire Askew asks the question of three women who narrate her novel, set in the aftermath of a shooting at an Edinburgh college. Ryan Summers killed 13 women and then himself – but why? His mother, the mother of his first victim and the city’s newest detective inspector grapple with the problem in this haunting book, which has obvious parallels with We Need To Talk About Kevin. But as the media swarms and secrets are spilled, the truth seems to get further away.…

Thank you Juno Dawson. You have shown it’s OK to take antidepressants without shame (‘I need antidepressants, not a colouring book’, 13 Aug). I’ve always suffered horrendously with anxiety – it’s soul-destroying. After the ‘enough is enough’ talk from family, I reluctantly went to see my GP. ‘You need antidepressants,’ he said. No, I explained, I need actual help, not pills. He signed me up for counselling, but for three weeks I continued to suffer. I decided to take control and started taking Citalopram. Three weeks in, I’m doing one thing every day that scares me. If this pill helps me enjoy my upcoming wedding, surely no one can judge me for that? Katie…
