This is embarrassing – deeply uncool actually – but I’m the proud owner of four picnic hampers. Not only do I own them, but I also love to buy them for other people – other people who probably don’t share my blind optimism about the English summer. Drive three hours to the best beach in England (Holkham Bay is my hot ticket)? Absolutely. Eat posh salads in the dunes? Let’s do it! Drink freezing white wine as the sun sets? I’m all over it.

Picnics after work on Primrose Hill, Sundays roaming the Enchanted Forest at Groombridge Place in Kent… It’s not a proper summer unless I’ve picnicked in at least one of these places. I spend way more time preparing al-fresco snacks than I do when people come round for actual dinner. I much prefer eating outside than in – even if I am wearing a massive blanket. Tiffin boxes clog up my cupboards, melanine plates outnumber china, and a flask of Earl Grey seems so sophisticated.

‘I much prefer eating You get the (stupidly outside than in – even Cath Kidston-tinted) if I do have to wear picture. (By the way, I love the snaps of the a massive blanket’ InStyle team on the right.) This issue, I thought we should give in to the reality that although we might grab a couple of weeks somewhere sunny and sandy, for the most part, we’re here battling with what to wear when it looks boiling outside in the morning, but the rain’s kicked in by 7pm. If you’re hankering after something outlandishly fabulous, Josh Newis-Smith has picked out the prints that won’t make you feel in the least bit prissy. And Robyn Kotze’s fashion shoot with the ridiculously hot Millie Mackintosh is a masterclass in body-con cool. And then, once you’re dressed, our food columnist Elly Curshen has prepped a perfect picnic salad, the super-social Chloe Mac Donnell has found the best beachside eats and George Driver, our beauty assistant, is insisting that we should all have a go at toenail art (forget Instagram, this is what you need to do when you’re bored and it’s pouring). And for anyone who loved Absolutely Fabulous the first time around, Julia Sawalha – who played the long-suffering Saffy – has told us a few tales about what making the only TV show that got fashion is really like. The film’s out soon and we can’t wait. Does anyone know if it’s showing on a rooftop anywhere? I might even bring a picnic.

CONTRIBUTORS JULIA SAWALHA With the much-anticipated release of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie this month, who better to write about the big-screen version of the sitcom that we all know and love than its star, Julia Sawalha (aka the long-suffering Saffy). She writes about stepping into the character’s shoes once more: ‘I really wanted to work with the cast again – they make me laugh and the script was funny. I was also excited to see how Saffy would have evolved.’ Read Julia’s behind-the-scenes feature on page 106 to find out more.

GEORGIA ALLEN InStyle’s latest recruit, junior designer Georgia Allen, had a lovely surprise in the first week of her new role. She says, ‘It was the editor’s birthday and we celebrated with Belvedere Spritz cocktails for Friday drinks. I decided to stay!’

A recent Saint Martins grad, in this issue she’s worked on ‘10 Ways To Bare Those Awkward Bits ’ (page 135) and ‘How To Look More Moss Than Middleton’ (page 110). She’s dying to raid the beauty cupboard for her favourite Tom Ford make-up and Diptyque candles.

ZOE WILLIAMS The renowned Guardian columnist and writer has racked up interviews with Tony Blair and Jeremy Corbyn, but Zoe was beyond excited to meet our cover star Sophie Turner, aka Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones (page 84). ‘I was expecting her to be remote, and like her character, but she was so warm.’ Her favourite GOT moments? ‘It left me traumatised, but the Red Wedding was incredible. I also liked Joffrey’s death – I enjoyed Sophie [Turner]’s face when that was going on.’

SAM BURNETT Having grown up with the job of handing over rollers to his hairdresser mum, it’s no surprise that by the age of 17 Sam was working on editorial shoots and is now one of London’s top stylists. When not running his salon Hare & Bone in Soho, he’s travelling around Asia, America and Australia, working with hot talents including Charli XCX, Alice Dellal and Jessie J. What’s next for Sam? Hitting up Cannes Film Festival for some serious red carpetready hair. ‘I’m working with an artist and we’ve been asked to stay on someone’s super-yacht for three days.’ He styled actress Charlotte Spencer for our beauty feature on page 116.

While our beauty director Cassie headed to Vegas (via private jet, natch) to watch Britney do her thing in Vegas, our shopping ed Josh smashed the London Marathon (fall and all) inspiring us to at least run around the block at lunchtime. And, of course, after all that exercise we needed to rehydrate. Luckily, Belvedere offered to swing by our desks with a refreshing spritz. With no added sugar, and garnished with grapefruit and thyme, it’s practically healthy…

INK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Forget the ‘too many beers in Thailand’ Yolo tattoo. Now inking is the new It bag – who drew you and how they did it says way more about you than anything else. Here’s how perma-branding became the new normcore.

what’s NOW

The cool girl’s guide to tattoos Even the non-inked among you will have noticed that it’s in no way taboo to get a tattoo anymore, particularly if you’re female.

In fact, a recent poll in the US found that 47 per cent of women aged 18-35 have tattoos, compared with 25 per cent of men.

These days, the experience of getting a tattoo is more like going to a swish hair salon than a grubby, old-fashioned parlour. At Bang Bang in New York – favoured by everyone from Rihanna to Rita Ora and Justin Bieber – the chic concrete interior and pinkcollared Chihuahua dashing around do wonders to relax the variety of people waiting for an appointment.

‘Tattoo shops used to be scary places, but thanks to reality TV shows like LA Ink and Dublin Ink, people saw that tattoo parlours aren’t all dodgy,’ says Rocky Rakovic, editor-in-chief of Inked magazine. ‘Because the shops in those shows were pristine, people started to expect that look. Now every reputable tattoo shop is cleaner than your doctor’s office.’

Shoreditch’s Good Times, which you may have seen on London Ink, is one of these new-gen establishments. Its lightflooded studio has high, lofty ceilings, fresh flowers and visitors including Boy George and Kate Moss. Founder Nikole Lowe wanted the opposite of her first tattoo experience in the early 90s: ‘I almost walked out. I had to talk myself into going back in there. So I wanted Good Times to be light, welcoming and homely; a relaxing environment.’

Social media has also made tattoos more mainstream, spreading design trends further and faster. ‘Instagram means a tattooer in Los Angeles can overnight inspire one in Liverpool,’ says Rakovic. This means that while a tattoo design will always be an incredibly personal decision, strong trends start to emerge. The experts agree that women are favouring small, simple designs and tattoos with a lot of colour at the moment. ‘A new-ish hot feminine style is watercolour tattoos like those done by Sasha Unisex and Amanda Wachob. I think placement is actually the biggest thing right now. The trendy spots women are inking are their spines, napes, wrists and sternums.’

Even models, who previously ensured that tattoos were in

@ B A N G B A N G N YC

@ TAT T R X

@ B A N G B A N G N YC

areas that they could easily hide for catwalk shows and photo shoots, are now being booked because they have visible ones. Just look at Cara Delevingne, who has 20 tatts (and counting).

But if you’re thinking about getting an inking, it’s worth putting the time in to research an artist.

‘Every tattooist has their own trends,’ explains renowned artist Sasha Unisex. ‘Mine are unicorns, foxes, flowers, domestic animals and space. Also, meet the artist first as not everyone gets along!’

Lowe adds a very important piece of advice, ‘If you’re getting it put on and it’s not in the right place, say something – because it’s on you forever.’

One final tip from Rakovic: ‘This is a couture piece of permanent fashion, so splurge. Your tattoo will last longer than the most expensive Manolo Blahniks. Also, spell check!’

what’s NOW Have you ever worn men’s shirts?

‘It’s how I discovered Equipment. My boyfriend at the time had loads of their shirts, and I began borrowing them.’

Who is your shirt hero?

‘Keith Richards.

Unbuttoned silk shirts are his second skin.’

If you could only wear one print on your shirts for the rest of your life…

‘Might be leopard. But I’m sure that comes as no surprise.’

What was your inspiration for this collection?

‘The collection represents what I wear every day. A little 90s, a little rock and roll, a bit of an edge with a subtle nod to Bowie.’

From £280, Kate Moss for Equipment at Net-a-porter.com from 1 June

TAT E T H AT !

InStyle is literally a stone’s throw from Tate Modern, so we’ve spent the past few years watching the new extension – Switch House – being built from our desks. We can’t wait to see inside when it opens on 17 June. We asked Matthew Gale, Head of Displays at Tate Modern, for his must-sees this summer.

SALOUA RAOUDA CHOUCAIR ‘For most visitors, Choucair will be a new name, but her extraordinary production extended across the second half of the 20th century.’

EL ANATSUI ‘Both delicate and robust, the shimmering surface of El Anatsui’s Ink Splash II extends onto the floor, as if the blue has leaked out.’

MARK ROTHKO ‘Since they arrived at Tate in 1970, Rothko’s Seagram Murals have taken on a legendary status.’

LOUISE BOURGEOIS ‘As the first person commissioned for the Turbine Hall in 2000, it’s appropriate that Bourgeois’ works are celebrated in our new Artist Rooms gallery.’

RONI HORN ‘One of the most striking works to join the collection recently is Horn’s Pink Tons.’

We headed to luxe pre-owned website Vestiaire Collective’s Paris HQ to learn how they tell a real designer bag from a copy. With in-house

The bag’s hardware should feel heavy and not hollow. It shouldn’t be discoloured either – and if it’s flaking, stay well clear.

exper ts rooting through 5,000 items a day, they know their stuff

THREE Familiarise yourself with the brand’s font.

For example, in the Chanel logo, the C is very round and the bottom leg of the letter E is longer than the top.

FOUR Just because there’s a serial number, it doesn’t mean the bag it’s attached to is real.

Counterfeiters often take them off a real bag and use them on fakes.

FIVE Beware of uneven stitching. Designers use hand-stitching, which is perfectly straight. For example, a Chanel 2.55 bag has 11 stitches per quilt square.

Rumours say Bounce in Holborn is where the game was created in 1901. However, we bet back then they weren’t sipping on cocktails mid game nor dancing to aprés-match DJ sets.

Carefully dismantle your old necklaces so you are left with individual flowers or clusters of gems.

5 Glue on individual gemstones, then leave them to dry.

4 Place the necklace pieces on the bag and then use a glue gun to fix them in place.

6 Tear the scarf into strips, remove the bag’s original handle and plait it and two strips of scarf together.

Reattach to the bag.

S H E SAID

I

’ve long believed that the idea of summer and the promise of all the sun-drenched frolicking and fun is much better than the actual reality of it. In my imagination, I’m skipping around fields, holding buttercups under my chin and dramatically waving the creases out of gingham picnic blankets before unpacking my Fortnum & Mason hamper full of decadent delights, which I’ll serve to my captive audience on vintage mismatched Wedgwood floral crockery that I just happened to stumble across for a song in the local branch of Save The Children. Maybe there’ll be a pony in a nearby paddock. Maybe I’ll go for a hack later in the afternoon, before settling, quietly, under a wispy willow tree to read some Dostoyevsky. Perhaps later still, a crowd of suitors may appear proffering slices of sponge cake and other delicacies. I will, of course, smile graciously before batting them off with a giggle and wave of my hand, signalling that I’m far too engrossed in the trials of the Karamazov brothers to possibly stop for tea. You’re right, I’m getting carried away.

Let’s look at some less Austen, more modern examples of summer myths…

M y t h o n e : I t ’s g o i n g t o b e really sunny REALLY? In which parallel universe does play not stop at Wimbledon for heavy precipitation? Which Glastonbury did you experience without the clog of mud hardening around your wellies? Which English beach did you ever visit without packing an umbrella in with your beach towels (and not for sheltering from the sun)? It always rains during a British summer. Always. Every single year.

M y t h t w o : Those floral fabric shoes will be really handy Last year, I bought a pair of sandals which had

34

INST YLE JULY 2016

pretty raffia ankle straps. They were so fabulous!

They looked so St Trop-chic! They broke after exactly three wears. There is nothing chic about hopping with one bare foot around a perilous festival ground with one sandal on. I can always see the allure of a fabric shoe, but I can also see raindrops ruining those lovely baroque patterned slippers. Flimsy, pretty summer accessories are a fun fix, but don’t expect them to last for more than a few weeks at best. I suggest you save your pennies for sturdier items.

M y t h t h r e e : Of course that frilled vintage sundress will work for summer nights out at the pub Beware the holiday purchase. You should not be under any illusion that anything one buys near a beach resort will be suitable for anything other than prancing around said beach resort.

You won’t take that massive straw basket to

eyeliner, blusher, foundation, some eyeshadows, three red lipsticks, two mascaras. This bag of make-up will then sit forgotten on the side of my hotel/Airbnb bathroom. Because it’s too hot for make-up in Spain/Greece/Portugal etc. It’s too hot! It will smudge, it will congeal with your sun cream, your mascara will clump around your eyes, sand will somehow stick to your lipstick, your tinted moisturiser/foundation will end up smeared onto your towel. People who wear makeup to the beach are morons. Don’t be like them.

M y t h f i v e : Yo u n e e d t o s t a r t shopping for your winter wardrobe in July OK – if you are dead-set on a full look from Gucci or Céline then, yes, you might need to fight off the other oligarchs’ wives at Harvey Nics to get that coveted piece. But with collections dropping constantly these days, there’s no need to get in a hot sweat in a changing room as you ponder cashmere. A lot of brands don’t deliver their full winter drops until October. October!

When it actually might be cold. I’d also caution over buying something you can’t wear until later in the season. Maybe I’m just capricious, but however much I think I’ve loved something in July, come November when I actually put it on, it doesn’t ever work or go with anything else I’ve bought more recently. Maybe you have special future fashion powers, but I feel that instant gratification is often so much more reliable.

‘Charm-laden anklets have no place being anywhere but on a belly dancer in Turkey’ Tesco; if you wear that tiered, frilly sundress to work people will ask you where your sheep are.

That tie-dyed sarong will not be a great scarf.

She’s the one everyone wants to hang out with at the party and the woman whose wardrobe you’d raid in a flash. From Karen Elson to Alexa Chung, Karl L’s crew have been giving us #girlcrush goals long before it started trending on Insta. Although they span different thi g in common: an generations, they’vee all got one thing inherent coolness that hat can’t be faked.

hether you want to help the environment with a ‘make do and mend’ attitude or let someone else do the hard work for you, the hot style right now is cropped and frayed at the leg. The look was tried and tested by the fashion pack at the recent round of shows – let’s call it the Vetements effect!

But if £800 for the latest must-have seems a little steep, then there are tons of great options out there – whether you want to go with a wide leg, keep it skinny or try a boyish shape. If you really want to go for it, you can always get your sewing kit out and invest in a seam ripper (google it!). Shoving freshly cut denim in the washing machine will create the perfect amount of destruction, too. But whatever look you opt for, just make sure you get those ankles out.

you’re expecting formality laced with f a i n t e s t o f t a n s ; shyness, and the first thing she says is, ‘Where do you think I could throw my chewing gum?’

I tell her to chuck it in my handbag and I’ll put it on eBay. The market among geeks, once X-Men: Apocalypse comes out, for the genuine DNA of the psychic mutant Jean Grey, is going to be huge. She snorts with derision. ‘2p. You’ll get 2p.’

At 20 years old, Turner has been working since she was 13, and has had half a decade of global recognition. ‘I definitely felt I had to grow up faster than I would have done,’ she says, and she has the self-possession and elegant courtesy of one of those society French women who’ve been holding salons for 60 years.

But she also has a skittish, almost puppyish sense of fun. ‘I’m very driven in terms of work, but I’m almost more playful and more silly than my friends. I cling on to childhood.’ She insists that she looks at the world with a hard-boiled eye: ‘Having a cynical perspective is best; in this industry, there’s just a lot of rejection.’ And yet it’s hard to see how she would have had time to fit in any rejection; and her manner is nothing like cynical. She’s funny and wry, big-hearted and self-deprecating, like a British Jennifer Lawrence (we’ve been waiting ages for one of those – it always felt as though she’d been stolen from us).

Shooting mainly in Belfast, Game Of Thrones was ‘definitely a party cast’.

They didn’t view the show’s popularity as a burden, because, she says, ‘We all have that mentality, where we know we’re expendable. We all just thought, this is a job. Try not to get fired.’ Turner refuses point blank to choose a set favourite, although she’ll narrow it down to: Alfie (Allen, who plays Theon), Kit (Harington, we know who he is, right?), Richard (Madden, the late and horribly lamented Robb Stark), Maisie (Williams, her on-screen sister, Arya Stark), Natalie (Dormer, Margaery Tyrell, a spelling mistake waiting to happen) and Lena (Headey, Cersei Lannister). ‘Lena felt like a bit of a mum to

me. She’s kind of the coolest person I’ve ever met. Tatted up, pixie hair – the epitome of cool’. If the filming was a riot, the intensity of the world’s response was more of a mixed bag. ‘That’s probably the thing I’ve struggled with the most. At first, it was the character [Sansa Stark]; people hating on her because she was a 13-year-old girl, and she should have a smart head on her shoulders and make good decisions. But, at the end of the day – blinded by love – she didn’t. When people started to know my name, as well as the character’s name, that was kind of difficult. From 16 to when I turned 19, they were quite hard years. You’re in the prime of puberty; your body is changing, your face is changing, and people still saw me as that 13-year-old girl, with no body, and thought that’s how I should look forever. So, growing up and having my body transform, and my hormones, and people watching and commenting on that – that was tricky. Even my friends were having a hard time with that stuff, but when people are printing photos of your bad skin, that’s really difficult.’

She dusts the film industry lightly with natural optimism: ‘Hollywood is definitely changing; we’re getting a wider range of role models. No longer is it just the boyish, very skinny look,’ Turner says. Often, there is a slightly fairy-tale cadence to the way she orders her words, as if the Game Of Thrones script has got under her skin. Anyway, she continues briskly, ‘Now you can get a job looking different to that.’ But this change is pretty slow. ‘I’ve never had anything really dramatic, where they’ve said “You have to lose 10lb or you won’t get this job”, but it’s definitely been hinted at.’

If Game Of Thrones was a party set, the forthcoming X-Men was more like a round-the-clock summer camp of brutal exercise, crazy filming and intense friendships. ‘Every minute we had scheduled apart, that we could have spent apart, we spent together,’ Turner remembers of her co-stars Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp and James McAvoy. ‘We were just eating and partying.’ She does not, it has to be said, look like a person who’s spent the last six months eating and partying, which is partly due to being 20, and partly because ‘they got us trainers; we all had to be fighting fit. But credit to them, we don’t have to be skinny, tiny and model-like. We have to be strong. I kind of thought, “[My character’s] a telepath; she’s telekinetic – can’t she just sit on the sofa and get fat?” But obviously not.’ Turner’s now a complete convert to life with a trainer, even to the extent of being dressed gym-ready, in cool and nonchalant, part androgynous, part stop-traffic-sexy sportswear. ‘It’s horrible, exercise, but it changes you completely as a person. As I said, I went through that dark patch in terms of my body, from 16 to 19, and getting a

trainer changed everything. Knowing what’s good for you and what’s bad for you makes you a lot wiser to that kind of stuff and helps you become a happier person.’

Asked what advice she’d give to her 13-year-old actor self, she says immediately, ‘Get better at it, because it’s pretty bad at the moment.’ She’s really hard on herself – particularly her performances in the first few seasons of Game Of Thrones, but really, everything. ‘This is going to be the worst X-Men so far, because I’m in it. When you’re outside something, you think, “That is amazing, I would love to be in that.” But when you are in it, you think, “Is this going to be any good?’” Approaching the end of Game Of Thrones – everybody is maddeningly vague about how many seasons they’ll do, but she says it won’t go past an eighth – Sophie Turner is years away from selfcongratulation. ‘I kind of had a bit of a panic attack the other night as I was thinking about it. It’s like graduating from high school, but it doesn’t feel like a graduation, because I don’t have a university to go onto that’s bigger and better.’

The other thing she’d say to her younger self is,‘Stick with your true friends from school. And they’re my best friends; they’re the people who keep me grounded and sane. I’d rather hear about my friend doing history, or my other friend who’s studying neuroscience.’ The reason pre-fame friendships often don’t last is that people are intimidated, but she totally snorts at that idea. ‘I feel almost embarrassed by being in the public eye sometimes. I almost get the feeling that people look down on me because of it. If you’re on a night out, they will definitely tease you for it.’ As for whether or not guys are intimidated, she doesn’t know. ‘I’ve never dated anyone who I didn’t know before or who’s in the industry. I think that’s quite a conscious decision because the lifestyles wouldn’t work. This profession is so different to any other; the going away for long amounts of time – I think it would just be really difficult. If you meet on a job, it’s amazing. You have five months together and it’s incredible. Then, once it’s over, suddenly one of you is shooting in Australia and the other one is shooting in Spain, and you never know when you’re going to see each other again, but at least you both understand it.’

Outside, the sun is shining on London’s Soho for the first time in 2016, and Turner’s itching to walk back to the flat she’s just bought. Game Of Thrones trailers are everywhere, but when people recognise her they’re normally cool about it. ‘You can tell when someone’s clocked you. It’s almost become an art, spotting a Game Of Thrones fan before they spot you.

Students, 23 or 24-year-old boys – most of them will be fans.

Guys who wear T-shirts with TV shows or movies on them, maybe have a lot of facial hair… I’m not going to say nerds. No, actually “nerd” is a good thing. Nerds.’ No one should laugh at anyone else’s anxieties, but some of hers really are ridiculous – ‘I’m terrified that when the show ends,’ she says at one point, ‘it will be my only real major credit.’ She kind of knows it, and wipes it away with a smile. ‘I get worried,’ says the 20-year-old to whom a life’s worth of stuff has already happened, ‘that I’m just so boring.’

‘I actually suffer from vertigo,’ Millie Mackintosh whispers from the perilous edge of a disused swimming pool. She’s arranged her flawless limbs across freezing, scuffed tiles, and the drop is straight into the empty deep end. ‘I’m just trying not to think about it,’ she says. She may have been given the spoilt heiress tag on Made In Chelsea (her greatgrandfather founded Quality Street) but she’s showing no signs of diva behaviour on the InStyle shoot. Instead, you see how hard-working the model, businesswoman and überbrand is. Today, Millie woke at 5am for a workout before making the two-hour car journey to the shoot location. The day before, she was in Italy for work, the week before it was Dubai and tomorrow she leaves for LA. Her only demand is that the fashion assistant tries some of her gluten-free corn chips. Although nearly every Instagram photo she posts to her million-plus followers is turned into a story by certain news outlets (even more so since she and husband Professor Green announced their divorce), Millie is surprisingly open, acknowledging that while reading stories that aren’t true is the hardest part of her job, she also gets that posing for the paps is part of it. She talks fashion, business and that body…

What’s your earliest fashion memory?

‘When I was 13 my granny bought me a miniskirt that was literally a belt! I had acne and braces but she told me I had good legs so get them out. My mum was furious!’

We bet you’ve got an enviable wardrobe.

‘I have a spare room that I use. It’s not massive but it’s very organised. I have clear storage boxes that I divide by season.’

How has your style changed since your MIC days?

‘It used to be quite preppy and “Sloaney.” I’ve grown up a lot since then. Now, rather than just wearing a tight bandage dress on a night out I’ll wear trousers and a really amazing top. I care more about the whole look.’

What’s been your best paycheck splurge?

‘A Chanel “Boy” bag. It’s slightly western with beautiful etching. I’ve never seen another person with it.’

You sit front row at a lot of LFW shows. Who’s your fave?

‘The Giles show is just like theatre. The casting and music is insane. I love Julien Macdonald too. His dresses are so sexy. Gigi Hadid wore one recently. He’s just killing it.’

Have you had a favourite red-carpet look?

‘I wanted to have fun at the Zoolander 2 premiere so wore a 90s dress from William Vintage with a split up the leg.’

How do you handle the paparazzi?

‘I have to pretend to be someone else. That’s the only way I can do it. I just switch off and I go somewhere else.’

Do you have a go-to pose?

‘A good one is to put one foot in front of the other and pose straight on with both arms down. But sometimes when you get out there you forget everything. So you just have to hope your tits and ass aren’t showing!’

Your clothing brand is the second biggest selling brand on

ASOS after its own collection. That’s pretty impressive!

‘I really think about where my customer is going to wear something. She might not be going to Ibiza or Coachella but she can get that feeling of being there from wearing one of my pieces.’

How involved are you?

‘I work on it from start to finish, from mood-boarding to look-book modelling.

The greatest lesson I’ve learned is that you’ve got to retain as much control as possible. I’m definitely an annoying perfectionist.’

Your body is totally #goals. What are your secrets?

‘I used to have a flat bum but now I do lots of squats and lunges and have managed to change its shape. Planks are great for abs and arms too.’

Are you really strict when it comes to food?

‘On good days I’ll have quinoa porridge for breakfast, salad for lunch and salmon for dinner. But I have cheat days too. Mac and cheese is my fave.’

What’s the hardest part of your job?

‘Reading stuff about me that isn’t true. People’s biggest misconception is that all my work trips are holidays. I might be in LA but I’m going to meetings and when I’m sitting by the pool I’m answering work emails!’

Millie has collaborated with Birchbox to design its July box, available at birchbox.co.uk. To see her latest clothing line visit millie-mackintosh.com

writes about life as the long-suffering Saffy

The audition I’ll always remember walking into the casting offices and seeing the late Charlotte Coleman, the beautiful and gifted actress (who played Scarlett in Four Weddings). We exchanged friendly hellos as we always did. We were forever on the same casting circuit trying out for the same roles, which she, quite rightly usually got. I’d given up hope before even going in to read, as I felt certain she’d get the part. I took a deep breath and entered the dreaded casting room. The producer Jon Plowman, director Bob Spiers and Jennifer were there. I sat next to Jennifer and was in awe. She was very kind and I remember thinking how beautiful she was. I felt the usual nerves but as soon as ‘ P e o p l e a l w a y s a s k I started reading with her I began to relax. I did my best, face – it was said my goodbyes and left not thinking for a second I would get it. Then I received the phone call offering me the role. It was a total surprise.

The first rehearsal Rehearsing for the pilot was probably one of the most nerve-racking experiences of my career. I was so in awe of all the cast I was a trembling wreck. At times Jennifer would say, ‘You can say what you feel at the end of that line.’

As an actress I was used to being told to stand on my mark, say the lines and not sway from them. Yet I was being given free rein to say what I liked by Jennifer Saunders, in front of June Whitfield, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks as well as Ruby Wax. So it was hard not to feel petrified.

Filming the shows The audience went wild when Jennifer and Joanna came on set. It made me want to make them laugh and give them a great evening.

But there were also the cameras to consider. There’s a temptation when you have an in-house audience to raise the energy of your performance, which for the people at home, might look overcooked.

So you have to remember to strike that balance.

Tr y i n g n o t t o l a u g h People always ask me how I kept a straight face. It was VERY hard at times. I’d try to do most of my laughing in rehearsal to get it out of my system. I could hide behind Saffy’s seriousness too. Sometimes the more stern I was, the more likely it was I was totally laughing inside.

Patsy eating a crisp for the first time in her life was one of the more difficult moments to keep a straight face. Another was when Jennifer had to say Bombay mix. The way she said it was just so funny.

Becoming Saffy Saffy was tricky for me at first. I spoke with my father, an actor, who gave me some insights. He talked about the era Edina would have grown up in and what her childhood would have been like. I remember him saying, ‘Saffron. Why has she been called this name?

It reminds me of swirling saffron coloured scarves, of a bohemian lifestyle.’ Then the penny dropped. I stopped obsessing about my own character and looked at Edina’s instead. In rehearsal I studied Edina and began to build an idea of what their relationship was like when Saffy was a child. Saff had a very difficult upbringing, (being

how I kept a straight

tied to a central reservation when she was three years old and having her moustache waxed when she was asleep!) so it’s safe to say she was poorly parented.

I also knew what it felt like to be the youngest of four females in a house and drew from that dynamic.

V E RY h a r d a t t i m e s ’

Becoming famous The success of the show started to sink in on a trip to New York to publicise Ab Fab coming out on video. I was doing a signing at a record store in Manhattan and I wasn’t expecting many people to come. In the car on the way to the store I saw a queue that went on forever. I asked the publicist what all those people were queuing for. ‘They’re queuing for your signature honey!’ she said. I spent the next six hours signing videos completely overwhelmed.

Public attention Sometimes people would shout out ‘Sweetie Darling’ to me.

And often when I had a meal in a restaurant I’d hear, ‘I hope you find it Absolutely Fabulous!’ But whilst the popularity of Ab Fab grew, I tried to lead as normal a life as possible. At first I’d go out partying for an escape and try and pretend that none of the fame was really happening. I found the recognition really difficult to deal with. And I began to realise how important my privacy was to me, so I quietened down my life. Everything became easier if I kept a low profile.

Making the movie When I found out the movie was going ahead, I had some reservations about reprising Saffy. After two decades playing her it’s been a struggle not to be typecast. But I really wanted to work with the cast again and the script was funny. I was also excited to see how Saffy would have evolved. Most people feel sorry for Saffy but I never have. She’s clever, she loves her family and she’s worked out a unique way of surviving within a completely dysfunctional household. Playing Saffy has been such a hilarious experience and enriched my life so much. People often ask if she has affected my personal life in any way. Not in the slightest. But I tell you something, she’s totally killed corduroy for me.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie is in cinemas from 1 July

When it comes to festival style crushes, Emma Roberts has two favourites: ‘I love Kate Bosworth, and Diane Kruger also always kills it. Less is more and at Coachella the two of them a r e a l w a y s e f f o r t l e s s .’ B u t , i f w e ’r e t a l k i n g a b o u t f e s t i v a l p r o s , E m m a h e r s e l f h a s i t n a i l e d .

Her knack of fusing high and low, pretty and quirky has spawned a huge online f o l l o w i n g ( c u e Tu m b l r a c c o u n t s d e d i c a t e d t o e v e r y l o o k s h e ’ s p a p p e d i n , p l u s s i x m i l l i o n I n s t a fans). So who better to style stalk for festival inspiration? She told us exactly how she does it…

‘My “driving into the desert” playlist? Wet, Ellie Goulding, LCD Sound System, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison and Leon Bridges.’

‘You’ll find lots of coconut water in my Winnebago fridge. I’m always thirsty at Coachella. The sun is brutal. ’ ‘Dry shampoo is a must-have. This is the first year I washed my hair every day. The first thing I do postfestival is get a massage and sleep.’

‘LCD Sound System was my favourite band to watch at Coachella. My friends and I were out in the crowd dancing for an hour-and-a-half nonstop. It was amazing.’

‘I love the different sunglasses styles everyone brings out. Cat eye and round are my go-to.’

‘I try not to wear too much make-up at festivals.

It looks bad after being in the sun all day.’

‘The perfect Coachella companion is easygoing.

Things are hectic, plans always change and you lose people, so you have to be able to go with the flow.’

‘Boots are the best on your feet. Sandals always look great and seem like a good idea, but your feet get so dirty and people step on you.’

‘I’m pretty easy when it comes to food, but I will always go straight for the pizza!’

But, let’s get real here, it’s much easier to look cool in wintry black layers than it is in prints and pastels, which is why even the most chic of women can sometimes lose their cool as t h e w e a t h e r w a r m s . Yo u c o u l d s a y i t ’ s a tale of two Kates: you start the year edgy l i ke M o s s b u t b y J u n e y o u ’re i n d a n g e r o f

Yes, we know it is tempting – particularly when you have a formal occasion to attend. But if there is one thing guaranteed to add five years to your appearance, it’s a blow-dry – certainly of the bouncy, shiny, curled-at-the-ends newsreader variety favoured by Kate Middleton. Unless it is literally your job to visit underprivileged children with a smile pinned to your face because the taxpayer funds your vocation and expects cheerfulness and perfect hair in return, you need to ditch the blow-dry and embrace the concept of bedhead. Or, if not bedhead, then at least hair that looks lived in.

‘Real hair’, as celebrity hairdresser Josh Wood calls it, is where it’s at.

Blow-dry your own, by all means, but aim for the imperfections and tousled appearance so winningly displayed by Kate Moss.

Thou shalt not wear ‘meh’ jeans Boyfriend? Bootcut? Stonewash? Skinny? Truly, ’tis a full-time job trying to keep up with the many vagaries of jean style currently being touted as The Ones To Wear This Summer. In truth, there is an argument for all of the above. What matters more than the actual style you plump for is the conviction with which you wear them. Whichever type you choose, make sure you avoid the ‘meh’ jean, aka a pair of trousers so bland they defy description. The Duchess is queen (or rather, duchess) of ‘meh’ jeans, which she wears with equally ‘meh’ footwear such as a beige deck shoe or a navy pump. Clearly, it wouldn’t behove her to look too directional (what would the Queen say if she paired her jeans with Saint Laurent spikes?), which is precisely why she damps down whatever potential sex appeal could be extrapolated from her skinnies by teaming them with such basic items as a tucked-in white shirt or a fitted jacket. We know she favours J. Brands, but so does Kate Moss. Like Moss, we suggest wearing yours with flat thong sandals or kitten-heel ankle boots and a simple vest top – Rockins scarf optional.

turning into a floral-sprigged, clutch bagtoting Middleton. Here are some pointers on how to avoid this scary seasonal hazard.

‘Don’t even think about wearing nude, 15 denier tights. Bare legs, always. Even in Scotland’

Thou shalt not go within 10 feet of a fascinator

We d d i n g s e a s o n i s u p o n u s , a n d a s we a p p ro a c h peak hat season, the temptation to reach for a fascinator is high. This is understandable. But have you ever seen Kate Moss in a fascinator? Nope. This is

because

fascinators

diminish

everyone

who

appears in them. While the Duchess has worn some fetching ones in her day, she’s also worn some f r o n d - t a s t i c m o n s t r o s i t i e s . To b e f a i r , h e r p u b l i c wouldn’t be best pleased if she bowled up at a function with a massive brim hiding half her face,

‘passé’ as ‘corporate’ – which is waaaay worse. This summer, your aim is to waft, flit and glide through life in a series of loose, flowing garments with a 70s feel. Think Kate Moss holidaying on Formentera, but also Jerry Hall (40 years before marrying Rupert), Elizabeth Taylor and Florence Welch.

which is why fascinators suit her purposes so well. w h a t w o u l d K a t e M o s s d o ? S h e ’d w e a r a f e d o r a . S o this is what you must do, too.

Thou shalt accessorise judiciously Clutch bag + beads + little diamond stud earrings = Kate Middleton.

Saddle bag + pendant + hoops = The Other Kate. And don’t even think about wearing nude, 15 denier tights. Bare legs, always. Even in Scotland.

Thou shalt allow thy clothes to skim the body, not hug it Suddenly, skintight, gratuitously body-conscious clothing feels wrong.

Whether it’s a cinched waist that proves you’ve eschewed carbs, a sleeveless shift that flaunts your rock-hard triceps or spray-on jeans that enhance that thigh gap (you have one? Eat some pies already), nothing screams ‘last season’ like the need to show off your bod. It’s not so much

Thou shalt approach coral, lemon and kingfisher blue with caution It’s summer. You have a barbecue to go to and your grey and black office clothes are looking kind of drab. Reaching for brighter hues in July is as predictable as swapping red wine for rosé, which is weird, as not everybody does it. Certainly not Kate Moss. Apart from a brief fling with a sherbet lemon prom dress (which she designed herself for Topshop), Kate’s summer wardrobe mainly consists of neutrals – white, beige, black – with the odd khaki accent thrown in. Clever Mossy.

However winning they might look on the bob-haired, lithe-limbed model on the Zara website, some colours just have ‘frump’ written all over them. Coral, lemon and kingfisher are such colours. They’re weirdly formal – wedding colours, guaranteed to be worn by great swathes of guests at any summer social occasion.

Thou shalt eschew all raffia wedges in favour of... well, any thing, frankly It isn’t the Duchess’s fault that everything she wears sells out within 24 hours. Not in anyone’s wildest dreams did one imagine that an item of footwear as basic as a black shoe with a three-inch raffia wedge heel would become a global musthave. Nor could Mr Blahnik, Mr Louboutin or Mr Choo possibly have predicted that Ms LK Bennett would be the person to design them. As it stands, the rest of us must avoid all raffia (or cork) wedges like the plague, until such a time as they cease to become a cliché. If you’re looking for a shoe with the comfort and elevation of a raffia wedge, try a blockheeled loafer instead (Gucci is the dream). A two-inch heel is leg-lengthening yet comfortable, with a nod to this season’s 60s vibe. Go for white, bright or metallic. Alternatively, do what Mossy does, and wear boots with everything.

Or Ancient Greek sandals. Or trainers. JUST NOT RAFFIA WEDGES.

Looking at the riot of curvy curls on the catwalks, those with poker straight hair could be forgiven for feeling NFI to this party. But anyone can fake bounce. ‘Realistic, long-lasting curls are all about how you prep,’ says UK Ambassador for KMS California Sam Burnett. ‘Apply mousse to damp hair and blast dry. Next, twist different-sized sections and wrap around two different-sized tongs (the more haphazard the better). Pin each section and allow to cool. Finish by turning your head upside down and shaking with your fingers.’

Straight girls and hair irons fans don’t need to have FOMO, because sleek is also having a moment according to Burnett. Just make sure you go a little more avant-garde up front to avoid a 90s Posh Spice situ. ‘The quiff is a little asymmetrical to give it a modern edge,’ he says. ‘If your hair is curly you’ll need a bristle brush to get good tension as you blowdry it straight. Then simply run an iron over the top section to lock in the straightness.’

w a v e ‘I’d call this a “vertical barrel wave,” catchy as that sounds!’ says Burnett. ‘We’ve seen enough traditional waves for a while and this feels more modern.’ How to get on board? ‘Spritz a generous amount of hairspray into the crown, section by section, combing the hair behind the ears. Next, use a large-barrelled tong on the midlengths and ends in random sections, keeping the tong vertical.’ Finish with a spritz of salt spray and swish.

T h e

s t y l e d

n a t u r a l

It takes a lot of work to get the perfect ‘natural’ hair. Think of it as the ‘no make-up make-up’ look for your head. ‘The most modern “natural” has a lived-in texture,’ says Burnett. ‘If your hair is super-straight, spritz with salt spray and add in a few random bends using tongs or by leaving rope braids to dry overnight. If your hair is curly, prep with leave-in conditioner and dry straight before adding texture back in.’

F o r t i e s

t h r o w b a c k

Essentially a fashion-forward Hollywood wave with attitude. ‘We’ve seen a revival of the finger wave on the catwalks and this is an accessible nod to the trend,’ says Burnett.

‘The majority of the hair is blow-dried straight whilst the texture at the front adds an interesting focal point. Curve the parting slightly and keep the tong parallel to it at about eye level. Make sure you twist the section as you wrap it around the barrel (two or three loops is enough) to give it a modern crimp. Brush it out – voilà, a modern midi wave.’

now I’ve started wearing make-up, I’ve grown out of it! Although I’m not into contouring. When I go out I like to dance, so if I wore that much make-up I’d look like my face was melting.’

We heard you were nominated for a Bafta for the TV drama Glue…

‘Yes! That was ridiculous. When my agent told me, I’d just come back from America and I was really jetlagged. I called my parents and the phone went completely silent because we were all crying. I think that’s when it hit me that I’m doing alright.’

Have you perfected your red-carpet pose?

‘Not yet, but after Les Mis I kept getting recognised, which was a little worrying. My costume was a pair of fake rotten teeth and this short wig.

So when people say they recognise me, I’m like: “I hope not!” I’ve still got the teeth actually, they were great at Halloween.’

Weirdest job so far?

‘All acting is kind of weird. I did a film where I had to give birth and we shot it in a real hospital with a baby who was three hours old. It’s the most precious thing I’ve ever held in my life. That and my audition for Angelina Ballerina, where they asked me to do the voice of an eightyear-old mouse. Now my mum, who’s a teacher, calls me up so I can do the voice down the phone to her students. It’s great until she calls me when I’m queuing in Sainsbury’s and everyone’s looking at me.’

What do you think of today’s abandoned shoot location? Strange, right?

‘It’s fantastic. I love anything that’s deserted and eerie so today is perfect. Pop a few zombies here and there, and it’s like filming The Living And The Dead again.’

The Living And The Dead will air this June on BBC One

‘If you can’t do a sex scene when you’re 22, when can you?’ announces super laid-back Brit actress (and our new redhead hair inspo) Charlotte Spencer. And she should know. She’s famed for NSFW scenes with Will Poulter in Wild Bill and a lead role as 60s political mistress and showgirl Christine Keeler in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest musical Stephen Ward. And now the ridiculously versatile talent has snapped up the lead in creepy new BBC period drama The Living And The Dead (think Pride & Prejudice & Zombies minus the slapstick). As the Essex-born star munches away on broccoli frittata and halloumi salad, we talk ginger hair, heated rollers and being the voice of Angelina Ballerina…

We’re a little bit obsessed with your hair. Is it natural?

‘I’ve actually never dyed it. I love being a redhead so much I nicknamed myself Ginge at school. That way, whenever someone would try to tease me for it and say, “Ew, you’re ginger,” I was like: “Yeah I am!” and owned it. After that the name stuck.’

Any redhead icons?

‘For me, Jessica Rabbit is the redhead, and I love Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Apparently cartoon redheads are what I go for!’

What about today’s textured ’dos?

‘I love the natural one, it’s like something out of Lord Of The Rings. I’ve had to do my own hair for a lot of events so I’ve learned to get good at it.

I’ll just whack some heated rollers in and if it’s behaving itself then it looks pretty good! If in doubt, always go for the rollers, that’s what I say.’

So you’re a hair pro. What about make-up?

‘I went through an ugly phase when I was 13 and my mum always said: “You’re gonna grow into a beautiful swan one day, you’ll see.” Hopefully

HOW TO NAIL… THE DESIGN

Nervy

N e r v y b e g i n n e r ‘My go-to look is just a simple line of four Swarovski crystals along the base of the big toe on top of dark green varnish,’ says founder of WAH Nails Sharmadean Reid. ‘It always makes me feel like Sharon Stone in Casino.’ Use a gel-effect top coat, and while it’s still wet press the crystals on. It’ll hold them in place and won’t dull their shine. #pedigoals.

T o t a l p r o Channel your inner RiRi with a henna-style design. Celeb manicurist Jenny Longworth explains, ‘Use a dotting tool dipped in black varnish to make dots on your nail then, using a liquid eyeliner, extend the design from your nail on to your foot.’

S t e e r c l e a r o f … getting too matchy-matchy. ‘Avoid matching fingers and toes, it’s naff!’ says Reid. Amen to that.

b e g i n n e r ‘Bold colours work well on toes, so go for anything from bright pastels through to Mugler s/s 2016style navy blues,’ says nail expert Adam Slee.

T o t a l p r o Try your hand at ombre.

‘It’s actually way easier to do on your toes than your fingers because you’re working with a larger canvas,’ says Slee. ‘Use a small make-up sponge and paint two colours on to it before dabbing directly on to the nails.’ Go for dark pink at the base blending to light pink at the tip for a look with serious pizazz.

S t e e r c l e a r o f … nude shades.

‘Even the most attractive feet are rarely beautiful,’ says Fashion Week’s hottest manicurist Marian Newman, ‘Nude shades might be chic, but only go there if you’ve got pretty feet and perfect toe nails.’

HOW TO NAIL… NOT F***ING IT UP

M A R G E S H E R W O O D Oh, how we lusted after Gwyneth’s cool, Grace Kelly chic in The Talented Mr Ripley. She may have become an unwitting pawn in a murky murder plot, and lost her playboy fiancé, Dickie Greenleaf (a devastatingly at-his-moment Jude Law), but apart from that? Marge pretty much nailed 50s resort perfection. That butter-blonde hair, that gentle glow – she was Betty Draper minus the endless fags. ‘Marge’s beauty centres on fresh, sunkissed skin, a smattering of freckles and a slick of a raspberry lipstick,’ says make-up pro Zoe Taylor. ‘Simply use a hydrating tinted moisturiser, a touch of bronzer and a hint of brown mascara.’ Super-stylist Neil Moodie adds, ‘Gwyneth’s hair in the film was a soft version of a 50s set. Occasionally tied up or let loose, it was soft bouncy curls created with heated rollers or a large curling iron.’ We want it all.

BE AUT Y TALK

J A N U A R Y J O N E S The Mad Men star talks black hair dye disasters, Betty Draper manis and Kate Moss brows Let us in on your number one beauty hack…

‘Don’t over-pluck your eyebrows. When I was little, I had a nervous tick where I’d pull them out at school and my mom warned me they wouldn’t grow back. I modelled briefly in the 90s and also did the Kate Moss super-thin brow thing against everyone’s advice. Luckily, they eventually grew back.’

Has your getting-ready regime changed since becoming a mum?

‘Well, I’m much more efficient with my time.

It really doesn’t take me very long to get ready. Any me-time is best spent relaxing in the bath or doing an at-home facial, just because mentally it’s very restful. I’m also pretty good about taking vitamins and natural anti-virals because, since having my son, getting sick is like the worst thing ever.’

W h o do you think is m o s t l i ke you?

‘It’s who I’m playing now, Melissa in [US TV show] The Last Man On Earth. She’s so laid-back and no-nonsense, with a very simplified beauty regime. I was able to collaborate on that decision, too. After Mad Men and various different movies, where everything was very stylised, I was so ready to just have no time in hair and make-up.’

Does your hair ever not look fab?

‘There were a couple of [Mad Men] episodes where Betty dyed her hair black and, because I was wearing prosthetics on my face, I couldn’t get away with a wig. Two weeks later, I was back to blonde. Before that, I shot a movie where my hair was red, so I went from blonde to red to blonde to black to blonde in, like, four months.

At the end of shooting that season, I just chopped it off – it was completely dead.’

Who’s your top beauty icon?

‘Maybe Marilyn Monroe. I can also relate to the persona she put on for public appearances.

In between movie takes, you see her just being her – she doesn’t have that voice or that walk. She was just like a normal chick. Often when I do red carpet, I want to create a character in my mind to get through it because it can sometimes be anxiety-ridden.’

Wo u l d y o u s a y B e t t y D r a p e r ’s become a beauty legend?

‘No joke, I was in a salon once getting my nails done for the show, and a girl sat down next to me and said: ‘Do you watch that TV show, Mad Men? Can you give me the Betty nail?’ I was sitting there, right next to her, and dying laughing. It was so funny.’

If you’re considering an extra skin boost, temporary fillers could be your next step. They can help you achieve a more refreshed-looking complexion, honing areas where you’ve lost that elusive bounce.

Juvéderm is a range of facial fillers that temporarily restore volume and smooth out the fine lines that we often start to notice appearing in our thirties and forties. Commonly affected areas include the lips, around the mouth and nasolabial folds, aka ‘smile lines’.

So what exactly are temporary fillers?

The key ingredient is hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring sugar that’s often found in small quantities in anti-ageing products, but actually works more

efficiently when injected.

Juvéderm’s fillers fall into the temporary category, as you can expect results to last approximately up to 18-24 months before the hyaluronic acid is broken down by the body naturally – it’s dependent on the area treated and product used.

Thanks to Juvéderm’s bespoke treatment method, you’ll receive a subtle tweak to your skin and contours that’s completely customised to your individual features and face shape. There’s no standard menu approach, because every case is treated on a face-by-face basis.

Whether you’re a first-timer to fillers or not, the consultation is just as important as the treatment. Discuss any concerns and the results you want to achieve with your qualified and experienced practitioner beforehand.

Q: WILL IT HURT? ‘Injections are fairly painless and some practitioners use a numbing cream. Many prefer to skip the anaesthetic, especially as some fillers already contain this.’

Q : WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTERWARDS? ‘Results are quick, but the area can feel numb due to the anaesthetic.

Your skin may also look red and be a bit tender, however this subsides after a few hours.’

Q: HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECOVER? ‘Side-effects – including redness, swelling and bruising – should clear within a few days.’

Q : WHAT’S THE COST? ‘The price will vary according to the amount of product required to achieve the desired effect.’

‘Juvéderm facial fillers are clinically tested and generally well accepted by skin when administered by a qualified practitioner. Any concerns you have can be discussed at the in-depth consultation you’ll receive before going ahead with treatment.’

HOT MAMA! Emma Willis, the queen of Saturday night TV, reveals how to stay sassy when you’re expecting…

INTERVIEW BY GEORGE DRIVER. PHOTOGRAPHS BYGETTY IMAGES, XPOSURE, INSTAGRAM/DOMINIC_POLLUX, YILDIRAYSAHIN07, JAMILEALBOLEDA

THE SECRET IS TRAINING WHILE YOU’RE PREGNANT to get you in shape way before you give birth. Being 40 and pregnant with my third child, it’s no surprise that the cellulite on my legs got out of control. When even my mum noticed it, I knew I had to get a trainer.

BOXING TWICE A WEEK IS my new thing.

That, and the 45-minute HiiT classes I do in my garage at home. It’s like a normal class but less full on – well, when you’re pregnant there are some things you just can’t do! If those 10 squats take longer than 30 seconds, so be it.

I stole my l it t le b oy ’s na me from a woman at baby yoga.

The baby next to me was called Ace so I nicked it.

Baby yoga is def initely the

I WORE HIGH HEELS ALL THE TIME when I was presenting Big Brother. But I was only wearing them for an hour and half in total! Most women work bloody hard when they’re pregnant, so I think I can handle one day a week wearing heels.

I’LL HAVE A GREEN JUICE but I won’t be drinking wheatgrass any time soon. Matt is obsessed with making protein shakes in our NutriBullet but to be honest I’d rather just have a banana. Thankfully the only food I crave is oranges, although I have to take folic acid supplements to balance out all the sugar I eat. Biscuits, chocolate, cakes and sugar are what I can’t get enough of.

PUTTING PRESSURE ON YOURSELF to be too thin after having kids is unrealistic. You’ve just gone through labour, you’re breastfeeding and you’re trying to look after a tiny human being. It takes you nine months to grow a baby so you need at least that to get back to normal.

MATERNITY EXERCISE WEAR IS totally a thing. If I wear H&M’s black leggings with one of M&S’s printed sports bras, I actually look good and everything’s strapped down. If I’m not feeling so hot, I’ll steal one of my husband Matt’s T-shirts and whack that on over it. I’m already pregnant, I don’t need to feel even more uncomfortable!

Calling all adult acne sufferers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found the perfect skin solution, so you can go bare-faced on the beach this summer

instyle PROMOTION

S p o t t y, g re a s y s k i n – we g e t i t , yo u t h o u g h t y o u ’d l e f t t h a t b e h i n d f o r y o u r 1 5 - y e a r- o l d self to deal with. But with 20 per cent of adults suffering from acne and that holiday in Santorini threatening to make it even worse (let’s be honest, sun cream and spots do NOT go together), there has to be a solution. And when you’ve tried every cream, cleanser and prescribed anti-acne potion out there, it’s easy to think that clear skin is about as achievable as Beyoncé’s beach bod. But fear not – Dermalex’s new breakthrough Acne Tr e a t m e n t i s y o u r o n e - s t o p s h o p f o r combating mild to moderate acne and getting per fect summer skin. Here’s how…

Red alert Sunburn isn’t our friend at the best of times, let alone when our skin is flaring up. It’s not what we had in mind when we said we wanted a summer glow. Luckily, Dermalex is proven to reduce redness by 86 per cent. Yes, really. And with other acne treatments often making your skin more sun-sensitive (not great for getting your tan on), it’s the easiest way to achieve a summer-ready flawless complexion. But don’t forget to protect it with an SPF as well.

Blemish buster Hydration hit Fact: pretty much everyone’s skin gets a little parched during the summer, and when you’ve already got adult acne, added dryness doesn’t help. The answer? A treatment that relieves the symptoms of acne and moisturises your complexion. Dermalex’s lipid-enriched cream hydrates skin, while strengthening its barrier layer to really lock in moisture. It’s time to put your best face forward.

INTRODUCING…

Greasy sun creams and perspiring in the sun mean that your pores don’t stand a chance. Add to that skin that’s prone to producing too much pore-blocking sebum, and painful spots are pretty much inevitable. That’s where Dermalex comes in. It helps control sebum production, which can lead to a 50 per cent reduction in spots. Now that’s our kind of skin solution.

Find Dermalex Acne exclusively at Boots stores in the medicated skincare aisle and at boots.com.

KEEP THE VENUE TBA ‘Whether I’m on stage or in the crowd, I love secret venue gigs – they bring a bit of extra unpredictability to it all. Not knowing who’s performing or where makes it more exciting. I loved the moment when everyone found out that my gig tonight was in Hackney and I loved the build up on the way – a cute ride in a Renault Twingo to get me there, a few of my girls and some Skepta playing on the radio.’

GET ON THE FROW ‘My first ever gig was seeing Ja Rule and Ashanti at Wembley. As soon as they went on, everyone got out of their seats and ran down to the front, which was

awesome. I went to see Justin Timberlake a month later and immediately ran down the aisle to the front until security picked me up and took me back to my seat. It was a slightly different vibe to Ja Rule…’

PUT ON YOUR DANCING SHOES ‘When you’re 5ft 3 you need a bit of height at a gig. I’m obsessed with wearing these rubber heeled boots I stole from my dancers. They’re the perfect raving boots because they’re really sturdy and it means I can actually see who’s performing. If I’m on stage it’s all about a good pair of trainers. Filling Pieces are awesome because they’re comfy and a bit jazzy.’

Where? Wheelers Oyster Bar, Whitstable Insta? It has a kitsch baby pink and blue facade. Inside, it’s all cluttered bric-a-brac, mismatched chairs and floral patterned cushions. So granny chic!

Do… sit at one of the four tables in the tiny back parlour. With antique candlesticks and a scattering of fairy lights, it’s super-romantic.

Order… er, the oysters, obvs. The sea tanks where they’re cultivated are a five-minute walk away, so they couldn’t be any fresher.

Drink… whatever you like – it’s BYOB, but they will give you proper, old-fashioned cut glass to drink your off-licence (there’s even one opposite) buy out of.

Where? The Hidden Hut, Portscatho, Cornwall Insta? This green painted timber shed, set amongst the cliffs of the Roseland Peninsula, can only be accessed by foot. You order through the open hatch from the owners Simon and Jemma, then eat on trestle tables or picnic blankets overlooking the quiet cove.

Do… log on to the website early to nab a ticket to their legendary Feast Nights. They sell out quicker than Glasto. There’s one meal option (think lobster and rosemary-salted chips cooked on the wood-fired grill), you bring the cutlery and as much wine as you fancy. When the temperature drops, hot water bottles and blankets are handed out.

Order… a Cornish pasty to take away and nibble on the beach, or hit the local walkways to build up an appetite for the scones made by Jemma’s mum and served with local clotted cream.

Drink… homemade raspberry lemonade or local elderflower cordial served over loads of ice.

Where? The Company Shed, West Mersea, Colchester Insta? Let’s just say you won’t be pinning this to your interiors Pinterest board. It’s an actual shack on the shoreline with communal tables, wipe-down tablecloths and concrete flooring.

Just think of it as the original inspo for all those hipster east London eateries.

Do… check the tide times. At high tide, water covers the road back to the mainland, leaving you stranded.

Or, you know, don’t and just use it as an excuse to scoff another seafood sharing platter.

Order… mussels in white wine, herby prawns and lobster in garlic butter. They say BYOB, but they’re talking about bread to mop up those juices.

Drink… wine and beer from the local vineyard and micro-brewery. Cool, right? The Oyster stout is even made with actual Mersea oysters for an authentic sea-salty finish.

Where? The East Beach Cafe, Littlehampton Insta? Designed by the Heatherwick Studio, its aim was to make this seaside kiosk-turned-cafe look like a piece of driftwood washed up on the shore. Expect plenty of architecture junkies pottering about taking photos of the rippling steel structure.

Do… check out their ‘bangers, mash and a movie’ nights. Think Rear Window and An Affair To Remember watched on a big screen, interrupted only by the sound of the waves.

Order… fish and chips, or go first thing for a greasy spoon-style fry up.

Drink… Campari sunrise cocktails for a real holiday vibe.

King of summer’s must-eat, the ice-cream sandwich, Richard Makin serves his from a blue Piaggio Porter van (aka Barbara). Think childhood flavours like mint choc chip and more Noma-esque rosemary infusions sandwiched between chewy cookies. Here he talks experiments and break-ups…

Best ever creation?

‘I added meringue to the ice-cream base with absinthe. It had the ultimate kick.’

Any flavour disasters?

‘I tried to make tobacco ice cream. The aftertaste was smoke, but I reckon I could make it work. It just needs to be cut with something sharp like lemon zest. But I’m not sure if tobacco is legal.’

What booze works best?

‘Anything with a strong flavour. I like to infuse the ice-cream base with orange zest, then add bourbon whiskey and Angostura bitters.

It tastes like an old-fashioned cocktail.’

How can we make sure our cookies are still chewy in the middle?

‘It’s all about the sugar to flour ratio. For choc chip, use a mix of light and dark brown sugar. It makes them moist with a nice bite.’

What if we don’t have an ice-cream maker?

‘Fill one zip-lock bag with ice and salt, and another with ice-cream mix. Put it in the bag with the ice and salt, then throw it around.

Eventually it will freeze it.’

Anything dairy-free?

‘Try almond or coconut milk and add coconut fat to give it a creamy feel. ’ Best flavour for break-up gorging?

‘Whatever has the most calories! Try my salted caramel ice cream with marshmallow and chocolate chunks. I binge on it when I’m tired.’

SUMMER SOBA NOODLE SALAD

T

he perfect picnic food is basically things that are not going to go sad and limp if they have to sit in a hot car for a while (leafy salads especially), or dry out and go crusty if left in the sunshine (I’m looking at you, sandwiches).

You want bold flavours and sturdy textures! This cold noodle salad is quick and easy to make, plus you can add in or leave out whatever you like. It also happens to be vegan, keeps in the fridge for up to two days and makes a great packed lunch.

TIME

(serves 6-8 generous portions) 150g soba noodles, uncooked 150g red cabbage, thinly sliced 1 cooked corn on the cob, kernels sliced off (or approx 130g canned corn) 2 peppers (red, orange or yellow), cored and sliced 1/2 cucumber, halved lengthways, deseeded and cut into 1/2 cm-thick slices 125g cherry tomatoes, halved 150g Chinese leaf cabbage, shredded 2 tbsp coriander, roughly chopped 2 tbsp mint, roughly chopped 3 spring onions, finely sliced 1 small carrot, peeled and cut into fine matchsticks 75g fine green beans 50g broccoli, finely chopped A big pinch of sea salt flakes FOR THE DRESSING 2 tbsp peanut butter (any kind) 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp veg/sunflower/rapeseed oil 2 tbsp Sriracha 2 tbsp sesame oil

TO GARNISH Salt and pepper 4 tbsp peanuts/cashews/mixture of both, toasted in a dry pan and roughly chopped Lime wedges 2 tbsp coriander, roughly chopped 2 tbsp mint, roughly chopped Extra Sriracha (to taste)

A N D B E F O R E I F O R G E T… E L LY ’ S E X T R A S Falcon Enamelware (the iconic white with a blue trim) is ideal for picnics, as it’s lightweight and won’t break.

You can order these mini Sriracha bottles online from pocketsriracha.com – perfect for those who can’t leave home without it.

I’ve used a massive range of veg, but feel free to substitute your favourites – just keep it crunchy and fresh.

METHOD Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then rinse thoroughly in cold water and drain well. Tip into a large Tupperware box and add a little sesame oil to stop them from sticking. Put all the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake really well. Tip all the salad ingredients in with the noodles and pour half the dressing over the top.

Toss everything together really well using (very clean) hands.

Taste and season.

Pack the rest of the dressing in a small jar, seal the nuts, lime wedges and chopped herbs in little freezer bags or pots and use to garnish when serving.

CHIC RETREAT Roy a l H o te l , D e a l Insta-friendly sea views, dream cottages and avocado on sourdough. Emily Dean heads to hipster hotspot Deal SO, WHY DO I KEEP HEARING ABOUT DEAL? Because it’s been the seaside getaway du jour for some time now. On the east coast of Kent, it’s easy to get to from east London so it’s filled with Dalston types heading down in their retro BMWs. And, yep, they’re even calling it Deal-ston now.

WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL? ( SORRY) The Georgian architecture is a big sell – think lots of adorable Jane Austen cottages which have been given the Farrow & Ball Elephant’s Breath treatment, a cute pier and Instaworthy shopfronts. Plus you’re close to the slightly edgier Margate if you fancy a visit to the Turner Contemporary gallery.

WHERE DO YOU STAY? The Royal Hotel is right on the seafront and it had us at hello. It’s a recently refurbished pub with the Soho Farmhouse vibe so it’s all Shaker-style panelling and free-standing, claw-foot baths. And then there are gorgeous verandas overlooking the beach, which made us feel very Hamptons.

CUTE TOUCHES? Artfully distressed vintage suitcases adorning the bedroom shelves, and wooden panels with room names instead of numbers – choose from Lady Hamilton, Wellington or our favourite, William Pitt. And the soft, powder-blue bed blankets were a total result.

HMM, ALL THIS SEA AIR IS MAKING ME HUNGRY. There’s good gastropub food at the hotel, like pan-fried sea trout and harissa leg of lamb, and they do a reassuringly 2016 brunch of avocado on sourdough. Or you could venture to the Middle Street Fish Bar, which locals say is the business.

I LIKE TO SHOP...

There’s a vintage interiors shop called Mileage that has a fab adjoining tea room serving homemade cakes, and check out the supercool vinyl store Smuggler’s Records. Then head to Hoxton Store where you can pick up those genuine essentials like silver peep-toe clogs and cactus vases.

FINALLY, WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Stan Smiths and some frayed-hem cropped jeans will do.

Remember this isn’t the Chipping Norton set, so no serious wardrobe refresh is needed. But do remember to accessorise with a divine dog.

Rooms at the Royal Hotel start at £70 per night (inc breakfast). Visit theroyalhotel.com for more info.

with its imposing Miss–Havishammeets-Farrow-and-Ball entrance.

We’re test driving the car on every chic school-run mum’s lust list – a 4x4 environmentally friendly Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle if you want to impress at dinner parties). Konnie is actually considering getting one. ‘So I’m kind of using you basically. But I won’t spit you out and abandon you – I promise I’ll keep in touch.’

It’s definitely got the good looks of a trad Chelsea tractor, with chrome detailing, alloy wheels and those expensive-looking, mean-eyed front headlamps.

CAR YOU’D NEVER DRIVE A red Ferrari. I’d feel like such an idiot in a really bling car.

DO YOU GET ROAD RAGE? Not really, except when a car won’t let you out and it won’t hold them up at all. I never shout, just gesture a bit like Mr Bean.

Outlander runs for 32 miles on electric charge and then reverts to the petrol engine. And it has a decent amount of pace. The main thing that spooks you is the lack of noise. Konnie agrees. ‘Nothing prepares you for how quiet electric cars are.

I reckon they startle a lot of cats.’

The Outlander takes speed bumps and potholes remarkably well, while the power steering handles smoothly and the driver’s seat is surprisingly plush. Konnie is being won over. ‘I’m getting sold on this – look babe, you can heat the steering wheel and I can fit a double buggy in the boot. And no congestion charge. Am I boring you?’

She’s really not, but I’m keen to find out more about her 10 years as a Blue Peter presenter. ‘It was the best job in the world!’ she exclaims. ‘I got to interview Tony Blair and JK Rowling. But I started to spot grey hairs and thought, ‘Is this a sign?’ They lucked out with me because I’m so square. I don’t drink, smoke or take drugs. Maybe I’ll break the law today and show you my wild side.’ She married Charlie Brooker in Las Vegas six years ago. ‘I hated the idea of a massive wedding,’ she says. She has two boys with him, but still finds time to get herself plum gigs, like hosting Sky’s King Of The Nerds and The Xtra Factor. What did she make of Simon Cowell? ‘He’s mischievous and cheeky – things I like in a person.’

Our road trip is at an end. Charlie is making the boys’ lunch and has a Black Mirror to write for Netflix, so we park up and pose for selfies. ‘My hair looks so big! Oh god, do I look like I’m about to snog you?’ Konnie cries, but she admits she is sold on the Outlander. ‘I’ve fallen in love with it.’ Right back at you, Miss Huq. From £39,899.
