DOES ANYONE ELSE feel like they’ve forgotten what to wear? I don’t mean the slippers, Zoom-friendly collared-blouses and duvet-style coats that have seen us through almost two years of on/off restrictions. But rather how to return to the office (again) without sacrificing the comfort you’ve become used to, and what should be on your radar style-wise for spring. To help, we’ve dissected the trends to know for the season ahead (p64). And if you’re feeling anxious about this grand restriction-free reopening that’s ahead, Polly Vernon’s with you. On page 7 she goes on a mission to figure out How To Normal. It’s a lesson for us all! @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

"You do have a say in how the country is run Finding Euphoria stressful to watch? Try Prime Minister’s Questions the last few weeks. The Commons has seen demands for Boris Johnson’s resignation, audacious attempts to explain lockdown breaches and, most recently, Tory MP Christian Wakeford defecting to Labour. You can’t seem to take your eye off the TV for a second without missing another story of political chaos. Frankly, it’s exhausting. If you’re struggling to keep up, feeling overwhelmed or just plain angry at the mishandling of this crisis, remember: you can speak up too. Write to your MP. Their job is to represent us – we all deserve to have a voice in how they do that.,,…

PHOTOS: EDEANI/NEW YORK TIMES/REDUX/EYEVINE, GETTY ‘INFLUENTIAL’, ‘REVOLUTIONARY’, ‘iconic’; just three of the adjectives used again and again as friends and admirers of André Leon Talley – the pioneering fashion journalist who died last week aged 73 – tried to encapsulate a man who, standing at 6ft 6in and usually swathed in a custom-made kaftan, was quite literally larger than life. Throughout his five-decade career at the fabulous yet cut-throat centre of high fashion, André worked at glossy American publications, including Ebony, Interview, Women’s Wear Daily and Vogue, where he helped shape the narrative of what fashion looked like. But this trajectory – which peaked during his reign as the right-hand man of Anna Wintour – was a far cry from the preordained path achieved through wealth, privilege and access that…

PHOTOGRAPHS JON GORRIGAN STYLING MICHELLE DUGUID “IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE I WASN’T AFRAID OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK” Holly Willoughby sits on a comfy chair in a photographer’s studio, thinking about the unexpected recent proliferation of interest in daytime TV presenters. When you make your living as the conduit to other people’s stories, becoming the subject can be a surprising metaverse to enter. Holly scooped the This Morning anchor’s job in 2009, quickly establishing herself as our most reliable daily TV rainbow. Her show is the one Prime Ministers rely on to try to persuade real voters to like them. To be British is to have a rudimentary understanding of what makes This Morning so popular. A high level of public interest in…

» HOW TO RESET… INDULGENCE FACE At Christmas, anything went: cheese was a core food group, butter was a dip and pigs in blankets (six, no less) were deemed an acceptable snack substitute for an apple. Flooded with dairy and sugar, your skin has now flared up/broken out in protest. HOW IT MANIFESTS: According to consultant dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto, ‘Dairy acts in a similar way to diets rich in carbs, by promoting insulin production. This in turn increases androgen levels, which drive oil glands to release more sebum.’ For cheese lovers, that means enlarged pores, oilier skin and increased spots and blackheads. Those who mainlined Quality Street may have also noticed a generally ‘meh’ looking complexion. Excess sugar in the blood causes glycation, a chemical process that hampers the…

PHOTO: GETTY characters in the book run counter to those ideas and to the norms of the day.’ Charmaine explores how rifts within families can set off chains of events that impact everybody within the family. ‘But I hope readers also see that ultimately there’s still a lot of love within the story, and within the families we meet in it. And that life is rarely as simple as somebody being good or bad. The truth is always more complex.’ The theme of food in the title also runs beautifully throughout the book, at times pulling it all together. ‘I didn’t set out to write a story about black cake, but it somehow worked its way into the story,’ says Charmaine. ‘Along with the idea that food is not just…

PHOTO: GETTY IT’S 1995. THE fabulously brash fictional hip-hop foursome Nasty Bitches – Brianna, Jill, Valeria and Naomi – are ruling. They have personalised gold necklaces and a diamond-encrusted band insignia. They get their own MTV Cribs episode and headline the VMAs. Their J-Lo-esque pin-up Valeria gets her own fragrance, the not entirely delicious sounding Butter Pecan. Their signature tune Nasty Girl bangs hard. Fast forward 25 years and you have Queens, a ferociously camp, comic study into what has happened to the now middle-aged ladies of hip-hop. Brianna is a harassed mum of five whose husband is cheating with one of his students. Jill is God-bothering in a confessional booth to atone for the sins of her lesbian affair. Valeria is basically Alesha Dixon, presenting daytime TV show The…

‘I’m just back from maternity leave and struggling to balance everything. Help’ Anna Whitehouse, aka Mother Pukka I hear you. Returning to work post-baby is a heady cocktail of separation anxiety, stress and fleeting delight at being able to drink your coffee hot. But please don’t do what I did and return smaller – apologetic almost – feeling ‘lucky’ to even have a job (‘I’m sorry I have to leave on time to pick up my daughter’; ‘I’m sorry I have to take this call from nursery’; ‘I’m sorry my child is sick and they only call me, not their dad’). It’s not your fault the working world is set up for mothers to fail. Every year, 54,000 of us lose our jobs and that’s not even counting those ignored…

KIDS OPTIONAL Polly Vernon’s ‘Why can’t we stop asking women THAT question?’ (24 Jan) was so refreshing! I’m 55 and have never wanted kids. I knew when I was still a teenager. It does frustrate me when young women are pressurised into having children, perhaps before they have even discovered who they are and what they want out of life. I’ve been happily married for 30 years and I’ve never had a moment’s regret over my decision. So please let everyone make their own choice. Lally I couldn’t agree more with Polly on the kids question. It’s been asked so many times – by a well-meaning relative, enthusiastic friend or someone you hardly know. But asking someone when they’re going to have children is really invasive and, to be honest,…

I HAD TO GO TO the theatre the other night, which made me cross because, in my experience, theatre is a mixed bag, tending towards the shit. When it’s good, it’s extraordinary, when it’s bad, it’s excruciating, when it’s mediocre, it’s interminable. I can count the good plays I’ve sat through on the fingers of one hand; I’d need all your hands to tally up the bad and mediocre. But this was a work (ie, non-negotiable) thing, and my neighbour the dog psychologist said she’d babysit the labradoodle. I washed my face, put on my fancy clothes, off I went. There was a faff and a panic at the entrance because I hadn’t updated my Covid pass – had to do so, on the hoof; a Minor Incident in the…

WORKWEAR, FOR MANY , used to mean a variation on the sharp pencil skirt and silk blouse formula (very Shiv Roy). Over the past few years, however, it’s lost its way. As offices closed, then opened, then closed again, a muddled rotation emerged – a bit of waist-up dressing, a lot of loungewear – so even when hybrid working started last autumn, workwear never quite regained its smart-casual former stride. (Some, of course, didn’t have the luxury of working from home, but may have adapted their wardrobes nonetheless.) Now, as we look towards the chink of light at the end of the Omicron tunnel, the way we dress for work has changed. So, as workplaces reopen (in England at least), the question is: what should we wear? For Heather Gramston,…

MY BOYFRIEND and I had been together two years. I’d just gone to live with him overseas (he’d moved for his job in finance) when he suddenly asked, ‘So, what’s the plan?’ I’d been packing to go home for Christmas, and told him what time my flight was. He clarified that, no, he didn’t mean the plan with my travel arrangements, he meant the plan for my life. At the time, I was working at a school in the European capital where we lived, while writing in my spare time. I thought I’d probably tutor when we moved back – as I’d done before – because it gave me the flexibility and time to write, which was all I’d ever wanted to do. But my boyfriend, it transpired, had concerns,…

WHEN IT COMES to eating healthily, there are some key rules – eat less saturated fat, sugar and meat and more plants and fibre, the latter helping to lower the risk of illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. The good news is that even small changes can make an impact and set you on a healthier path. Here, experts reveal their favourite swaps for better nutrition… ROSEMARY FERGUSON SWAP FIZZY POP FOR KOMBUCH ‘Kombucha hits the fizzy drink spot but it’s fermented and full of probiotic power, which is great for the gut,’ says Rosemary, nutritionist and founder of The 5 Day Plan (rosemaryferguson_). ‘And there are so many great flavoured ones out there.’ ROSIE BIRKETT SWAP POTATOES FOR CELERIAC ‘When making leek and potato…

PHOTO: GETTY 1 Wet your toothbrush first, then put on the toothpaste. I used to do it the other way around but then my son pointed out that often the toothpaste just slips off and it would be better to wet the toothbrush first. I thought, ‘Yeah, that’s so true.’ I recently started following his advice and it is life-changing. 2 Don’t drink alcohol on planes. Once I flew to Cuba and I got so drunk. When we landed, I couldn’t put my shoes on because my feet were so swollen. I thought, ‘Oh my god, what’s wrong with my body?’ A colleague told me that it’s a terrible idea to drink on a plane because alcohol creates inflammation and, combined with the air pressure, you blow up like a…

NHS IN CRISIS I broke down reading ‘The UK’s maternity service is utterly broken’ (24 Jan). I gave birth last April. Staff shortages delayed my emergency Caesarean and I felt myself slipping away as I haemorrhaged. It was terrifying. The postnatal ward was a stressful din of call bells and frantic staff trying their best to work under impossible care ratios. One lactation consultant had 12 mums in a queue ahead of me and could only spare a few minutes. While my newborn screamed, I sobbed. I count my blessings that my child is healthy and thriving, but I’ll never have another baby. Kathryn…

MUCH LIKE THE elusive ‘sweater-vest season’, coats-and-sunnies weather is rare – but, when it comes, what a time it is!

IN 2015, THE ARTIST then known as Kanye West – now simply Ye – gave a lecture at Oxford University, telling students, ‘We’re all creatives here, we’re all born artists. Some are artists of business, some are artists of composition.’ Which of these, though, is Ye? It’s a question many have been asking since the start of 2022, when the rapper-cum-fashion-mogul announced his new girlfriend – Uncut Gems actor Julia Fox – through a number of highly publicised dates and photo shoots, many of them linked to his business ventures. Since meeting at a New Year’s Eve party in Miami, the couple’s relationship has been heavily documented. The publicity began with an Interview magazine photo shoot, which chronicled their second meeting via a dozen photos of the pair, from Ye…

PHOTOS: HBO ‘THIS PROGRAMME contains depictions of drug abuse, very strong language, some very strong violence, scenes of a sexual nature and strong images of nudity from the start.’ The trigger warning that runs before each episode of the compelling second season of Euphoria is already comically long, but perhaps there should be an addition: dangerously good clothes. TV’s most debauched show is also one of its most stylish. Back on our screens after an enforced Covid hiatus, East Highland’s terrible teens are the stuff of parents’ nightmares and fashion lovers’ dreams. ‘I have a lot of friends who’ve never watched the show even though I’ve spent three years of my life on it, because they don’t feel emotionally like they can,’ says Euphoria’s costume designer Heidi Bivens. ‘It’s not…

PHOTOS: GETTY LET’S GET THE warnings out of the way: smoking is a terrible idea. It causes cancer and all manner of hideous maladies you can see on the front of cigarette packets. It stinks. It’s expensive. It’s very, very addictive and you probably won’t ‘just give up’ when you turn 30, have kids, or whatever other arbitrary deadline you set yourself. (No, most likely you’ll become like And Just Like That’s 53-year-old Seema, or indeed 36-year-old me, lighting up while lying to your parents that you’d never do such a filthy, foolish thing. Sorry, Mum and Dad.) Worst of all, it’s always an invitation for people to ask you for a fag/filter/lighter. So why does smoking, against all the odds, appear to be having a renaissance? On TV at…

Age-gap friendships bring wisdom, perspective – and a pure jolt of joy PHOTOS: GETTY REMEMBER WHAT it was like at school, when all your friends were almost exactly the same age, give or take a few mere months here and there? When having a friend in the year either side felt huge – like a real stretch of emotional and social significance? This carried on through a lot of my twenties and early thirties, when life experiences remained comparable – but then, in my mid-thirties, something changed. People my age started to peel off, do different things; things I wasn’t doing (marriage, babies, home purchases, all-consuming vocations) – which was all fine, of course, except I had fewer people to hang out with. So I started hanging out with younger…

IN MY TWENTIES, I lived in a house that was already long past its sell-by date when I moved in. When a door fell off its hinges, the kitchen flooring peeled up or a damp patch appeared, it wasn’t that I didn’t notice so much as I didn’t care. It was cheap, I was young and it was a rental, so temporary. I hauled that approach to successive rentals: the chic apartment I shared with a man 25 years my senior but where I never completely unpacked; the studio that was little more than a cupboard, a comparison unfair on cupboards. My time living in those three flats totalled nearly a decade but, because I was renting, I felt an innate sense of transience, assuming that one day I’d own…

‘A perfect recipe of family, mystery and life lessons. It’ll leave you craving the Caribbean and a big old slice of black cake.’ Fiona ‘This novel examines the complex, messy dynamics of a family as it evolves, with all the highs and lows bearing down on the individuals. A strong debut.’ Bettina ‘Black Cake’s real strength is its discussion of culture, cuisine and country when it comes to our identity. Food for thought.’ Michaela ‘The main takeaway I got from this novel is that everyone has a layered history, so perhaps we should all be kinder and more understanding. A particularly relevant message for now.’ Jesse Lynn…
