Photo: Arved Colvin-Smith Hello 2016! Goodbye hangover? Are you one of the many thousands who’ve decided to embrace 2016 ‘dry style’ – after, obviously, the traditional Christmas and New Year’s Eve blowouts? Personally, I’ve never had the willpower (one January I smugly announced I wasn’t going to drink for a month, while absent-mindedly ordering a glass of wine…). So, if you’re about as committed as me, you’ll be cheered to read Amy Molloy’s piece on page 41, where she asks whether going sober, while good for our health, could actually be bad for our careers. The new year is also bringing a new start for one of our favourite cover stars, Katie Holmes. We can reveal why she wants to go public with her secret A-list love (it’s a good…

IF YOU’RE anything like us, then we might have a New Year s resolution in common: time to stop hibernating, put down the mince pies and get fit. And whether you re going full-throttle on the treadmill or taking an easy-does-it approach, getting kitted out in on-trend trackies is the perfect place to start. Lucky, then, that this season s sportswear doesn t disappoint – from no-holding-back neon and brilliant block brights to understated neutrals sure to elevate your zen, there s no excuse not to get a move on. SPEED FREAKS Forget go faster stripes: this is catch me if you can colour blocking. Top, £12.99; leggings, £14.99, both H&M (hm.com) FOCUS FANS Luxe pastels and shades of grey make for a very grown up gym kit. Below: sports…

CHANEL BURRBERRY PRORSUM Photos: Catwalking.com DOLCE & GABBANA IF YOU DON’T YET know the name, you ll recognise the face: 2015 was a great year for Imaan Hammam, with turns on the catwalk for Chanel, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry Prorsum, and a spot of the cover of VogueNetherlands. A quick look on her Instagram (142k followers and climbing) confirms Imaan s cool-girl status, from a spot in Givenchy s campaign alongside fellow trailblazing new face Lineisy Montero, to candid selfies with her model other half, Naleye Junior (talk about a couple with cheekbones!). But if anything, 2016 looks to be an even bigger year for this 19-year-old Dutch (by Moroccan and Egyptian descent) model – starting with her announcement as the new face of Label, the multi-brand online…

Photos: Alamy, Shutterstock “YOU HAVE TO STOP OBSESSING ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU. ONCE YOU DO, IT’S ADDICTIVE” ALONG THE WAY, I ve met a few people who truly didn t give a f** k – like the second-grade teacher who broke a ruler over a kid s desk to demonstrate fractions; or my friend Jeff, who s elevated RSVPing no to an art form. Their attitude was refreshing, but I never realised it could be possible for me. I m such a Type A overachieving perfectionist – and I ve been on this treadmill my whole life. What I didn t realise until recently, though, was that if you slow down and do only the things that make you happy, you ll have a much better quality of…

Sanctuary: boots.com 1 Where we spotted it Backstage at Alberta Ferretti, where make-up maestro Diane Kendal eschewed punchier hues for a more minimal look. 2 Why we loved it It's sophisticated. It's fresh. It's so darned pretty. And minimal make-up equals minimal effort and less risk of messing up. Right? 3 Ways to wear it Diane described the look as ‘fresh, painterly, Renaissance beauty’, creating it with just a MAC concealer, mascara and dab of lip balm. Unless you're blessed with supermodel skin, we recommend a radiance-boosting moisturiser and medium-coverage foundation to get the flawless look.…

MEDITATION FOR MEDICATION Ailments from period pains to migraines have us reaching for painkillers. But why not get in the zone instead? In tests, The Journal Of Neuroscience discovered that meditation provided far more powerful relief than a placebo, activating areas of the brain designed to control pain.

AMY WINEHOUSE / CORINNE BAILEY RAE = IZZY BIZU Her jazzy vocal on track White Tiger is getting us through the January blues (the video’s a virtual holiday). And Sam Smith brought her along on his tour. High praise indeed. JESSIE WARE X CHARLI XCX / HAIM = DUA LIPA With model looks (those brows) and haunting vocals across a sweetly edgy electro backdrop, singer songwriter Dua is on our Insta crush list for 2016. After singles Be The One and New Love, she’s ripe for an album about now. BILLIE MARTEN A 17-year-old looking to steal the flower crown from Ms Marling, with songs like Bird (slow-burn quietitude) and Out Of The Black, riffing gentle vocals against even gentler guitar-ing. R ATIONALE His smoky voice doesn’t make for simple…

WHEN IT COMESTO wearing colour, we all know the rules: no pink with red, blue and green should never be seen, top-to-toe orange makes you look like a carrot, and so on. But there s a new colour code in town – and it s breaking all the rules. Colour-crazed street-style stars are taking a new approach to clashing brights, and they re making us wonder if we ve been doing it wrong all along. That tomato-red skirt you love? Pair it with a Pepto-Bismol pink blouse. The mustard-yellow bag you haven t quite been brave enough to try? It s a perfect match for a cobalt-blue knit. And who knew that orange and burgundy looked so bloomin marvellous together? Whichever way you mix it, it s time to ditch…

Photos: Xposure, Wireimage.com THAT RITA ORA likes to shake things up, doesn't she? Fresh from her success as The X Factor's winning judge, the singer wasted no time in turning her attentions to another pressing matter in her life, namely taking legal action against the man who discovered her Jay Z. At the end of December, the 25 year old filed a complaint against Jay Z's label, Roc Nation (to which she was signed seven years ago), in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming her ‘relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged'. Rita, who alleges she has been sidelined by executives at the company, is hoping the label will be found in breach of California's ‘seven year rule' on contracts. Basically, she's not happy with the state of her music career…

SOMETIMES, I LOOK AT MY diary, full of work commitments and friend duties and weddings and baby showers and mortgage reminders and tax deadlines and family events, and I feel a bit panicky. It seems adult life has happened to me without my permission, and I don't know how, because I swear I'm still eight years old, forcing my Barbies to kiss. And that's why I like the gramatically incorrect verb ‘adulting' so much. Adulting is a term the internet, and those who inhabit it, have been using to self congratulate when they do something deemed ‘grown up' by the wider world. Adulting is having vegetables in the fridge (or, indeed, any food send help). Adulting is changing your sheets. Adulting is having stamps in your purse, but then also…

Photos: Barcroft Media, Getty Images WE’VE ALL JOKED that we could do with being hooked up to an IV drip after a particularly heavy night out, but over in Hollywood it s practically de rigueur. And now the A-listers reckon stuffing their veins full of chemicals could also be the secret to eternal youth. Baby Face Drips are the latest addition to the roster that includes the Fitamin Drip (an IV treatment that delivers slimming ingredients to kick-start your metabolism and diet) and Hangover Drip (as the name suggests, full of hangover-easing ingredients). Rumour has it that celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston are fans of this new procedure. Dr Sohail Nasim, an LA-based doctor, told Grazia that it s the speed and ease of the nutrients being directly…

I also really enjoy the subtle nod to 40s-inspired beauty trends without looking like a Pearl Harbor extra. ANGELA SAYS: Now thisis how you wear tailored trousers (although I d like a bit more shoe and a bit less length). This is more timeless than on trend, but it s a classy, stylish, flattering,…

OPENING WITH A MASSIVE rave-up in a disused hospital where all the characters are living, Crashing looks like our kind of ensemble comedy. Creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge (below), who most will recognise as wily barrister Abby Thompson in Broadchurch, is at the centre of a messy melee of hilarious love interests, along with Broadchurchco-star Jonathan Bailey. I wrote a bunch of short plays for the Soho Theatre and the production company loved all the characters. We just needed to find a way for them all to live together, we didn’t think it would be realistic that a bunch of young professionals would be living in a really nice house. Down the road from the production office there’s a hospital that’s protected by guardians, and I was like, Oh my…

WE’RE IN THE MIDST OF A podcast boom and, by now, many of us have listened to the basics, like Serial, Death, Sex & Money and Welcome To Night Vale (if not, download with haste). But, there’s still a surprising lack of women. Rhiannon Evans from IRL UK rounds up the female-fronted bandwagons you need to be jumping on. Get these in your ears. 1. SRSLY Fronted by New Statesman's Caroline Crampton and Anna Leszkiewicz, SRSLY reviews and debates pop culture taking it, er, seriously. ‘We need more women doing podcasting so it isn't just blokes making jokes about football and porn,' says Caroline. ‘We treat all culture the same. Things dismissed as “girly” or trivial can be valid and interesting, too.' 2. MY DAD WROTE A PORNO When mates…

GEORGE MacKAY, STAR OF CAPTAIN FANTASTIC ‘The film is about Ben, played by Viggo Mortensen, who raises his family in the way he sees best, by basically boycotting society. By taking them back to their roots, he's raised his six kids to be physically and mentally incredible, but as a result completely unsocialised. They find out that their mother has killed herself and, because of Ben's lifestyle, the in laws ban him from the funeral. But they start making the journey down the west coast of America, where they live, to New Mexico, and in the process of getting to the funeral they meet society for the first time. I play his eldest son, Bo. It was a unique experience.' LAKE BELL, WRITER OF WHAT’S THE POINT We spoke to…

THE NEW TREND BRAZILIAN BARBECUE As the Olympic Games 2016 puts Rio in the spotlight, Brazilian BBQ is set to be one of the hottest cuisines of the year. Summer cookouts will be amped up with marinades of paprika and sweet chilli, caipirinha combos will be the trending shot on your Instagram feed, and feijoada pork stew will be the new signature dinner party dish.

Photos: Getty IT WAS A YEAR of change for Kate Moss, what with the demise of her four-year marriage to Jamie Hince and setting up home with the younger Count Nikolai von Bismarck. Now it looks like 2016 is to herald a shift in career, too, for the supermodel. Ever-canny Kate registered a new firm at Companies House at the end of 2015 – the somewhat tellingly named Kate Moss Interiors Ltd. Yes, that s right, following the 41-year-old s success transforming property developer John Hitchcox s Cotswolds barn into a decadent £2.5 million retreat, our Mossy is going mainstream with her interior designing. It was reported that Kate is planning to team up with her friend, interior designer Katie Grove (she worked with her on the Cotswolds project) to…

Photos: Barcroft Media, PA Last week I discovered Justin Bieber. I say discovered – a few others got there first. The record exec who, in 2007, clicked on one of little Justin s YouTube videos, then signed him up. The several squillion teen Beliebers who ve been out of their minds with Justin-flavoured passion since 2010, when Baby went multi-platinum. My colleagues in the music press, who realised Biebs collaboration with cool producers on new album Purpose makes for an exciting, grown-up sound and wrote about it a good two months before I did (/am). But never mind them. This is my column, these are my ears, and it took them till last week to catch on. My love for Biebs blossomed on two accounts: the line, And by once…

AS MY BOSS POINTED the end of a champagne bottle in my direction, I held out my plastic cup and tried to look grateful. Around the office, my colleagues were excited to celebrate a company victory and have a reason to drink instead of working. Nobody noticed as I reached under my desk and poured the contents of my cup into the bin, praying it wouldn t leave a puddle on the carpet. After six years sober, you d think I d be used to being a non-drinker among drinkers – and I am, in most situations. At birthdays, weddings and New Year s Eve celebrations, I am comfortable being the only clear head in the crowd. Yet, there is one area of my life where I still feel the…

‘The lure of the bad boy tends to be rooted in insecurity. You know the guy is wrong for you but you want to believe he can change or make you happy. But they will always hurt you again. Many women who go back to a toxic ex have low confidence and think they won’t find someone else. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle because the worse they treat you, the lower your self-esteem gets, which means it’s harder to leave. Sometimes, women even feel they should be punished, so keep choosing men who will do that for them. You have to break that cycle, so enlist your friends’ help. They can boost your self-esteem and help fix you up with someone who won’t treat you badly.’…

The title says it all, but it's about a couple (Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church) in the throes of a long, at times bitter, divorce. I had been working with HBO and SJP was thinking about coming back to TV, but couldn't find the right thing. So HBO set us up on a ‘blind date'. We discussed the things she was interested in, then I went off and came up with some ideas. She plays a career woman and mum in her forties who's feeling very unfulfilled. She's a flawed human, but a good person who makes some bad choices. She's had to sacrifice a lot for her family and now she just wants to find something to make her feel again. The show is a mixture of…
