Don’t panic… Yes, AW16 fashion is already sprinkling into stores, but it doesn’t mean summer’s over. Honest. What it does mean is we can buy up trends that work as well now as they will come actual autumn – starting with do-it-all dresses for every body and budget (p62). It’s just sensible, really.

What She’s Wearing: A plunging lace body from VS (natch), pleated khaki midi and lace-up heels. Hannah BanksWalker, Fashion News Writer says: ‘If anyone can get away with wearing their underwear in the street, it’s a Victoria’s Secret model. I like that Lily has offset the sexiness of her top with a longer length skirt, even if it is a legflasher with that side split. All the better to show off those shoes, though. I can’t say I’ve ever considered a khaki combo, but Lily does make it look v appealing.’

Apologies in advance to my bank balance, but my weekly trips to Oliver Bonas are about to become more frequent. Not just a treasure trove of gifts and dreamy interiors, this season it’s gone all fash on us. Case in point? This graphic hero frock. My wardrobe’s about to look a lot brighter.

The Bling Ring I normally run a mile from glitzy jewels, but if anyone can inject a little cool into gemstones, it’s accessory pro Rosie Fortescue. The MIC mega-babe showed me her latest jewellery drop and I couldn’t wait to get this 18 carat gold-plated beaut on my finger. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to perfect a Rosie-worthy ring stack…

e’ve got a bit of a love/hate relationship with Scandi high street hotspot Lindex. As in, we LOVE it – but our bank balance is more wary. Officially now one of our regular haunts when we’re on the quest for a wardrobe update, the new autumn collection is killer, and our exclusive 30 per cent discount will take the pressure off those purse strings. Handy really, because you’re gonna want to shop the lot. Forget we’re in July for a second and focus on next season – more specifically, how good you’ll look in Lindex’s suede dress, zip-front midi skirt and supersized sleeve knits. As well as heaps of pieces you can wear now – peach bardot top and cropped kick flares, we’re looking at you – look out for sleek cover-ups and printed co-ords. You might not be able to wear everything straight away but, as they say, good things come to those who wait…
‘If Victoria Beckham says supersize sleeve knits are a thing, I’m not arguing. This one is a dead ringer for VB’s design.’ Maxine Eggenberger, Senior Fashion News Writer

When Vita Kin started designing her own versions of vyshyvanka – the name given to the distinctive, heavily embroidered blouses and dresses that make up traditional Ukranian costume – little did she know she’d become the talk of the town (quite literally). With billowing balloon sleeves and loose smock shapes, the designs sold out everywhere despite their fourfigure price tag. After winning Eurovision in May, Ukraine has also conquered the rails of our favourite retailers and now there’s a glut of vyshyvanka tributes. From Insta-famous brands like Wonder & Weaver and Innika Choo to luxury label Daft, there are enough embroidered trophy buys for us all. Even our high street heroes have tapped the Slavic style: H&M, Boohoo and Topshop all have tops and frocks aplenty to give you your fix. Vyshyvanka that doesn’t break the bank(a)? Who’d have thought?

What’s New Behati Prinsloo:
‘Imperfections Are What Make You Unique’ Juicy Couture ambassador Behati Prinsloo is looking incredible – so naturally we want to know how she’s doing it
L
WORDS: GISELLE WAINWRIGHT PHOTOS: REx fEATuRES
ife is pretty sweet for Behati Prinsloo. The 27-year-old model has walked the catwalk for the likes of Chanel and Prada, she’s the face of Juicy Couture’s latest fragrance I Love Juicy Couture and she’s expecting her first child with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in September…
Hi Behati! Can you talk us through your beauty routine? I’m pretty easy when I’m not working. I put sunblock on, cover up blemishes, maybe use some mascara and of course spray on I Love Juicy Couture – it’s a nice, fresh way to start my day! How has your beauty routine changed since becoming pregnant? The Victoria’s Secret mums have been really helpful recommending a bunch of different natural products – I love Mama Mio’s Tummy Rub Oil. What’s the best thing about being a Victoria’s Secret model? It gives me the opportunity to work with some amazing photographers and models. What are the three things you do before a big shoot or catwalk show? I cut out all carbs and artificial sugars, spend more time at the gym and treat myself to an oxygen facial.
What about the night before? I make sure I never sleep with my make-up on – I use a simple cleanser, a night cream and maybe an eye cream. You have incredible hair – how do you achieve your ‘done/undone’ look? I really love natural, beachy waves. Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray is the best product to achieve that effortless look. You share a lot of pics on Instagram and always look so natural. What do you think of photo-altering apps? I’m not a fan. I think it’s really important to love yourself and embrace your natural beauty. Imperfections are what make you unique – people shouldn’t change that to impress others. Who’s the person who last made you really laugh and why? Definitely my husband – he has such a goofy personality and I love it. Lastly, why do you like the I Love Juicy Couture fragrance? It’s all about celebrating what you love and shouting it out from the rooftops. I just know Juicy girls are going to adore this scent. n I Love Juicy Couture is available now at Thefragranceshop.co.uk

f you were to look inside the wardrobes of fashiondom’s most stylish, you’d see there’s one thing they all have in common – they’ve got their outfit basics down to a tee. Fitting really, seeing as we’ve just found the most popular T-shirt on the planet (no, we’re not exaggerating: in fact, it’s you who’s crowned it so...) From US essentials label Hanes, the T-shirt in question – a loosefitting, short-sleeved, V-neck style – has racked up a seriously impressive 400+ positive reviews on Amazon, with comments raving about everything from its ‘perfect’ fit and luxe fabric to the fact it’s sans itchy label and that it washes really, really well (your mum would be so proud). Yep,
people are pretty excited about it and that’s no mean feat in the remit of jersey staples. It’s an added bonus, then, that it’s totally affordable, with an asking price of just £5.99. That’s a couple of morning coffees – only this splurge will go way beyond your 10am frappuccino fix. And if white’s not your thing, rest assured it comes in a rainbow of hues. OK, it might seem small fry compared to the statement pieces that usually command such a devoted fanbase but with so many styling ops, this might just be the most rewarding six quid you ever spend. Don’t believe us? Just ask style queen Olivia Palermo, who proves time and time again that T-shirts are anything but basic.

Move over Kate, there’s a new Middleton with style selling-power in town…
L
adies, meet the ‘It’ dress of summer 2016. LK Bennett’s Karo floral maxi is flying off the shelves and it’s all down to a certain Middleton sister. And no, it’s not the one you’re thinking. From Reiss dresses to those LK Bennett nude courts, the Duchess of Cambridge may have made many an item sell out in seconds, but this time it’s Pippa causing sales to soar. After revealing that engagement rock, it’s been all eyes on the younger Middleton sis and LKB have revealed that her floral frock is already the bestseller of their pre-fall collection. It seems Pippa’s inspired fellow celebs to snap it up too – spots so far include her brother James’s girlfriend Donna Air, Kim Sears (AKA Mrs Andy Murray) and actress Olivia Grant. Spendy, yeah, but so worth it...

Michelle Keegan: ‘I Was So Anxious About Mark’s Reaction’ 24
Tired of fame? Shy? Just in need of a break? As Look partied exclusively with our alltime fave Michelle, we couldn’t help but worry, is everything OK?
I
f we had to pick one celeb to go on a night out with, Michelle Keegan would definitely be at the top of our list. Our favourite Manchester lass knows a good night out and always looks mega-glam. So before the Revlon #ChooseLove Masquerade Ball in London, we were excited to meet up with Michelle, 29, in a swanky hotel suite to get ready to party. From the word go, we’re told that questions about husband of a year Mark Wright, 29, are strictly off-limits. We’re not all that surprised Mich doesn’t want to go into it – she and Mark are reportedly going through a rough patch, with hectic filming schedules to blame. When we ask Mich whether she wishes she wasn’t famous, she just pulls an exasperated face. It’s clearly a tough time right now for the talented actress. In fact, Mich seems pretty sick of the rumours surrounding her marriage. But after helping herself to a hefty swig of our prosecco, joking: ‘God, I needed that,’ it seems obvious that Michelle’s 100 per cent ready for a girls’ night out. No boy dramz there. Yet as we chatted lippy, body confidence and her new look, it’s only natural that conversation turned to her man Mark…
Are Michelle and Mark going through a rough patch?
So, we’re about to go on a night out! What’s the best night out you’ve had recently? I went to Wireless a few weeks ago. It was the first time I went out with blonde hair. I hardly got recognised. For the first time in ages I was able to lift up my head, relax and enjoy myself. Mark and I had the best night. We had a right laugh! Right, we need to talk about the blonde… Ahh gawd! I think people genuinely believe that I woke up one morning and thought: ‘Alright, I’ve got really dark hair, I know what I’ll do – I’ll bleach it!’ It was for a job. But I’m glad I’ve done it because it’s very different for me . Don’t get me wrong, it’s not here for ever, but while it is, it’s fun. Does it feel different being blonde? Even now I have to take a second glance in the mirror. People don’t recognise me as much either, which I actually quite like. I get quite shy over attention and it’s been the first time that I’ve been able to go shopping with my mum and walk around without being noticed. What does Mark think of it? He actually really likes it. I was anxious at first because he loves me as a brunette and as I was getting it done he walked into the salon and I saw his trainers in the reflection of the mirror and thought: ‘Oh God, he’s coming!’ And he came over, put his hand over his mouth and said: ‘I don’t want to say it because I love you brunette, but you actually look reeeally good blonde,’ and I was like: ‘Aaaah, no way!’ So that was really nice. Do you have a long pre-party prep routine? Before a big event I normally do something the night before with my skin, whether it’s a peel or an overnight mask to moisturise my skin. My skin’s quite sensitive so I like brands like Origins and Kiehl’s. Oh, and everyone loves Simple Face Wipes! And what about must-have products. What’s in your bag for tonight? At the minute I’ve got Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipstick and it lasts all night – it’s incredible. I’ve got the nude shade Seduction in my bag for tonight. What was your worst make-up mistake growing up? Oh, definitely over-plucking my eyebrows. I think that’s what any girl growing up in the 90s would say. It was all about thin eyebrows and I definitely over-plucked and unfortunately mine
Michelle’s reaction to the question: ‘Do you wish you weren’t famous?’
Taylor Swift-style squads aren’t my thing! never grew back. Now I have to draw them on every single day. But obviously being in the industry that I’m in, I picked up a lot of tricks from make-up artists, so I won’t make that mistake again. Ooh, spill! Tell us the best tricks you’ve learnt? Well when I’m on holiday I always put Vaseline on my eyelashes so it looks like I’m wearing mascara. Oh, and lip liner – I like to over-line my lips just a tiny bit to make them look a little bit plumper. Lots of celebs wear Spanx under their gowns. Have you been tempted to try them out? I’ve totally worn Spanx before! They’re great to contour your figure if you’re wearing a tight-fitting dress. Recently, you backed Jennifer Aniston’s essay about body shaming. Have you ever been body shamed on social media? What can we do to help stop it? Yes, I’ve definitely been body shamed before on social media. I think we all need to show respect for each other, as people come in different shapes and sizes. If you were to pick your own Taylor Swift girl squad, who would you want in yours? I’ve got a pretty cool girl squad of my own, so I’d say my girls already! Oooh, to be in Michelle’s squad...

After everyone went crazy for Brit designer JW Anderson's summer capsule collection for Net-A-Porter, we started seeing the stripy theme crop up everywhere from Zara to Topshop. Bardot frocks, shirt dresses and frilled-hem trousers make this linear print as relevant for the weekend as it is for work – and it transcends seasons, too. Off-theshoulder top?

Bul l ie d Taylo r :
The Trolling is ouT of ConTrol! She’s been called ‘the devil’ on Twitter and accused of deleting bad comments on Instagram – and it’s all proving too much for Taylor Swift…
June 1 4 : It might not be a poignant date for most, but for Taylor Swift it probably is. It was the day before her shock relationship with Tom Hiddleston was revealed and probably the last time she felt in control of her own life. Because in five short weeks, her entire world has been turned upside down. Her latest battle? She’s been snubbed from the MTV Video Music Awards, despite releasing three eligible videos this year. It’s quite the contrast to last year’s VMAs pre-show, where Taylor premiered her Wildest Dreams video and had no less than 10 nominations, winning four awards. ‘Not getting a VMA nod has been another huge blow for Taylor,’ says our source. ‘She really feels like the whole world is against her and her confidence is at an all-time low.’ There are now rumours that Kanye West is influencing the situation thanks to their ongoing feud over his song Famous, plus there’s speculation Katy Perry will be the opening act at this year’s 25 August ceremony, with a
planned ‘revenge song’ after Taylor’s Bad Blood takeover in 2016. And, not surprisingly, Tay’s not taking it well. ‘She’s numb and in total shock,’ says tay lor ’s a pal. ‘She can’t quite get her head numb around where this animosity towards her has come from. The thing with Kim and in and Kanye has enraged her. She feels total betrayed, used and humiliated.’ shock. Friends of the star say she was also stung by her ex Calvin Harris cosying she had up to Kim Kardashian at Jennifer no idea Lopez’s birthday party in Las Vegas last she week. The DJ also followed in Kim’s footsteps by sharing a video of himself was so miming along to Famous. But while despised every week seems to bring more drama, Kimye aren’t the main thing tearing Taylor apart – it’s the online backlash, which is out of control. ‘Taylor had no idea she was so despised,’ reveals a friend. ‘It’s destroyed her. calvin and kim partied together at Jennifer She might come across lopez’s birthday as sassy and cold, but bash last week she’s actually incredibly insecure. She’s not coping at all with the hate being flung in her direction.’ It hasn’t helped that Taylor seems to have been working with
Instagram (after all, she does have 86.8 million followers ) on a new tool that deletes negative comments. In the wake of the Snapchat leak, in which Kim posted a recording of Taylor describing Kanye’s Famous lyrics as a ‘compliment’, Taylor’s Instagram profile was mysteriously wiped of the worst comments overnight and the company were forced to released a statement. ‘We’re always looking for ways to help people have a positive experience with comments on Instagram,’ said a rep. ‘We’re currently focused on providing tools to improve accounts with the most high-volume comment threads and we will use our learnings to continue to improve the comment experience on Instagram.’ But it couldn’t have come at a worse time for the singer, who was hit with even more hate from those who assumed she’d been trying to keep her perfect image intact. ‘Finally somebody took care of that devil,’ said one user. ‘Even now, she’s still trying to play victim,’ added another. It’s a far cry from the Taylor love the world was showing a year ago, when the singer was storming the charts. Friends saying she’s clinging to boyfriend Tom Hiddleston, who’s been her rock

COVER STORY throughout this. Speaking last week, the 35-year-old actor was keen to make sure people knew their romance was the real deal. He said: ‘Everything you do, you have to make sure you truly believe in it and as long as you know that, it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about it because the nature of being a public figure is that everyone will have an opinion about anything you do. And as long as you know why you’ve done something and you’ve committed to it with authenticity, then you’re OK.’ That’s despite him reportedly finding the situation very difficult. ‘Tom’s totally out of his depth. He’s never experienced that level of scrutiny and all the problems it can bring,’ says our source. However, he did immediately fly back from his appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego to be by his girlfriend’s side. In case you need a reminder, the animosity towards Taylor has been building for a long time. Following her shock split from Calvin Harris in June, she seemed to immediately couple up with Tom, with accusations she’d cheated on her ex. Plus there was speculation about her faking her new romance after parading Tom on a worldwide tour for waiting paparazzi. Her lowest point is then said to have come when Calvin attacked her on Twitter. He accused her team of leaking the news that the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg on his hit track This Is What You Came For is actually Taylor. He posted: ‘Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage,’ adding: ‘I know you’re off
tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I’m not that guy, sorry. I won’t allow it.’ As a result, #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty soon started trending, with users commenting on everything from her looks to her music. And, of course, there’s all the drama surrounding Kanye’s song with the now infamous line: ‘I made that bitch famous.’ Kim insisted Taylor did know about her hubby’s track, but then went one further by posting the Snapchat video recording of the call Taylor had originally suggested didn’t happen. Tay’s currently considering legal action for being While Taylor’s been recorded without having a tough time, permission, but Tom’s actually fans jumped on received some rather the fact Taylor good news – he’s Rear Of had at first The Year 2016! The actor denied the call was nominated for his took place. superb sexy scene in ‘Taylor The Night Manager, would never where his behind was would have on display.

R E A R - LY AW K S !
You O K , Tay ? How can Taylor turn things around? Jo Usmar, co-author of This Book Will Make You Confident and founder of Instagram vlog Bite Sized Psych, gives her tips:
1
First up, she should apologise and ’fess up to not having specified there was a phone call in the first place. Whenever you’ve made a mistake, saying sorry takes the wind out of everybody else’s sails. Getting defensive and angry only makes you look more untrustworthy. having said that, taylor definitely shouldn’t back down on the fact that she was upset with the words ‘that bitch’ and that kanye didn’t tell her about that bit. the best way to do that? write a bloody amazing song about it! Play to your strengths. She should give herself a digi detox. Being online ��/� and never switching off can be stressful and make us anxious. Giving yourself ‘tech breaks’ even for just an hour

the thing with kim and kanye has enraged her – she feels used
each day, where you turn your phone on silent and put it somewhere you can’t reach on autopilot, will make you feel more in control. taylor should take time out from social media altogether. loads of celebs maintain success without social media – Jennifer aniston, scarlett Johansson and emily Blunt to name a few. it would allow her to re-examine how she wants to connect with her fans. She needs to spend time with friends and Tom IN PRIVATE. NO CAMERAS ALLOWED. People who love her can reassure her and give her sound advice (without the pressure of posting anything online). Social interaction is so important in warding off anxiety and even depression. Sharing problems and having a laugh will make her feel strong.

about him making her famous,’ says our source. ‘Why people think she did is beyond her. She knows she looks like a liar and her team shouldn’t have denied everything before working out what they were dealing with, but she feels bullied.’ Taylor’s also been subject to several ‘takedown’ articles. The New York Post wrote ‘Why Taylor Swift Needs To Disappear For Her Own Good,’ with commentary such as: ‘Taylor’s gilded strategy of sharing intimate details and letting her fans feel a sense of ownership of her life has backfired dramatically.’ Meanwhile another, titled ‘Dating Taylor Swift: A Nightmare Dressed Like A Daydream?’ seemed to be a warning to new beau Tom about her ‘augmented reality’. It’s Taylor’s first real taste of what it’s like to be hated by the media and fans and it’s not pretty. So what’s next for the star? Without any nominations, she’s said to be still deciding whether to attend the VMAs, while she’s apparently desperate to see some of her pals, like Selena Gomez, who’s currently on tour in Malaysia. Something tells us that it might be time for a girls’ holiday, Tay…

V B wA n t s to d e s i g n P i P PA ’ s d r e s s ! She’s already made one BFF a gown and now Victoria Beckham’s got a Royal connection in sight
words: giselle wainwright photos: rex

nother day, another diamond – no, we don’t mean your Facebook feed, even though it may feel like all your friends are getting hitched – we’re talking Pippa Middleton. After getting engaged to James Matthews on 17 July, the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister might have further reason to celebrate as Victoria Beckham is said to be desperate to design her wedding dress. ‘Victoria loves nothing more than the ceremony of a high-class wedding,’ says our source, ‘and she’d love to be involved.’ Pippa, 32, and Victoria, 42, have reportedly remained friends since meeting at the Royal Wedding in 2011 and have bumped into each other at various social events since, including Wimbledon. ‘Victoria predicted Pippa would become a style icon in her own right after Will and Kate’s wedding – and she even talked to her at the reception about Pippa having the perfect shape for her designs,’ adds another source. Of course, Victoria has plenty of experience in designing wedding dresses. She made her BFF Eva Longoria’s bespoke gown for her Mexican nuptials, at which she was a bridesmaid, in May. Eva said she was in awe of her dress, adding it was ‘made with love’. And Victoria’s now keen to do more. ‘Not many people know that it’s Victoria’s dream to end up being revered like Vera Wang as the go-to wedding dress designer,’ says another source. ‘She knows she’s got some fierce competition when it comes to who else is hoping to make Pippa’s dress, but it would really put her on the map.’ Pippa is presumably
vb Said PiPPa Would bEcoME a StylE icoN aFtEr thE royal WEddiNg
likely to stick with a British designer, which would eliminate a lot of Victoria’s rivals. ‘Pippa adores both Victoria and David and they’ve always got on brilliantly,’ says our source. ‘More importantly, Kate’s very close to Victoria and has raved to Pippa about how she can trust her. Victoria knows exactly how to handle herself when it comes to discretion and keeping things a secret. Pippa also doesn’t want to wear anything over the top and she loves Victoria’s understated elegant lines.’ But while many think that Pippa might opt for her sister’s choice of wedding dress designer – Sarah Burton designed Kate’s gown and the dress that made Pippa’s bum a talking point at the Royal Wedding – she’s said to be excited about the prospect of working with Vic. ‘Even though the wedding’s not until next year, Pippa’s already thinking about it all. It’s her big day and while it will never be as over the top as her sister’s wedding, she does want it to be sophisticated and extremely classy.’ Well, until Prince Harry gets drunk and brother to the groom/potential best man Spencer Matthews tells some totally inappropriate stories at the reception. Isn’t that right, Pippa?!
Lo ok S ays …
Maxine Eggenberger, Look’s Senior Fashion News Writer ‘VB’s design signature is slinky frocks and pippa’s well-versed in all things bias-cut. she would totally suit VB’s fitted designs and i’d like to see her in a stylish, simple gown. we bet she’s already working on those squats – and who can blame her when a bespoke Victoria Beckham wedding gown is on the cards?’

She’s been married to her ‘best friend’ Ryan Reynolds for the past four years and the couple have a one-year-old daughter James; she’s about to have her second child while looking incredible; and don’t even get us started on her wardrobe. There’s no one more effortlessly glam than Blake. Typically the 28-year-old star refuses to work with a stylist and in fact says when it comes to motherhood, films, fashion and more, she likes to do her own thing, only trusting her true friends. ‘There are few people that I ask – Karl, Christian,’ she tells us.

Blake Lively Interview second child. What’s motherhood been like for you? It’s awesome. I just feel lucky that I get to do that and also get to work. I’m very fortunate to be able to do both. It’s hard to describe – it’s so lovely. The Shallows is one of your first films for a few years. What can we expect? It’s about how we’re all trying to survive on this planet and we all share it. Sharks are trying to survive the damage to their environment and habitat just as Nancy is trying to survive in the water – it’s all connected. It’s not just a story about a girl in a bikini fighting a monster. It’s an action-packed film – were you scared of doing any of the stunts? It’s just non-stop. I had an incredible surf double named Izzy; she’s the number one junior surf boarder in the world, so that was really cool to have someone so amazing pretend that she was me. The two boys that I’m surfing with in the film are the two top surfers in Mexico. They were amazing – I was in awe watching them surf with Izzy and they helped me so much. They were all so generous in helping me look like I was paddling right or diving right. So there are cool, fun, sexy moments and also terrifying, suspenseful, nerve-wracking, edge-of-your-seat moments. You grew up on the beach so this must have been home from home for you… It was a place where I could relax and not worry about things. I didn’t fit in that well in high school because I was tall and shy and not very confident about myself. Being so tall [she’s 5ft 10in], you feel like you can’t hide when you’re in high school. The beach was like a sanctuary for me. Did being shy make it more difficult for you to get into acting? It was actually acting that enabled me to get over my shyness. Acting helped me overcome my inhibitions and allowed me to feel more comfortable expressing myself. I was very introverted and very awkward in social situations but once I started taking acting classes I became much more outgoing, I began making more friends and I felt a lot more comfortable in general being around other people – although even today I’m shy when it comes to meeting people for the first time. You grew up in a family of actors. Did you always want to follow in their footsteps?

No, it was exactly the opposite.

Shirt dresses have been huge news of late, which is great news for work wear wardrobes. We’ve noticed, though, that the savviest style mavens are wearing theirs with an in-built waist tie. J-Law kickstarted the trend, and now some of our fave shopping spots have caught up. All these shirty styles need are a pointed pump and a glossy tote. Hello, CEO! Zara Martin H&M

Shopping Hero Of The Week Is… Zara Martin! Props to you, girl – this H&M maxi is an absolute dream and we’re just a bit beside ourselves at the thought of putting it on. Team with trainers by day and strappy block heels by night. And if anyone asks, we found it first on H&M’s website, OK?

Several years ago, on a catwalk far, far away (Milan), Dolce & Gabbana sparked a huge print trend. Then Kate Moss donned a starprint jumpsuit from Chanel for her 30th birthday bash, and we knew we’d never be the same again. Now stars are back, thanks to Réalisation Par’s cult dress as seen on Bella Hadid – and a whole galaxy’s worth of celestial frocks have landed on the rails, waiting to help you dazzle day and night.
‘Having a big bust means trends like open backs and Bardot necks pass you by, but a new crop of slinky slips with bra-concealing straps means I can finally get in on the dress obsession I admire – sans T-shirt. Huzzah!’ Maxine Eggenberger, Senior Fashion News Writer

l We’ve seen some brilliant Chloé dupes in our time but these frocks are next level. l The French fashion house put ombré back on the fashion map with this dreamy maxi and, luckily for us, both H&M and Wallis have come up trumps with amazing tributes. l It’s equally perfect paired with sandals on late summer getaways as it is styled with a denim jacket and kicks on UK soil.

BesT In B lo o m Here’s a conundrum for you: how do you make lace feel fresh? As illustrated by these glorious gowns, you add a layer of graphic, bright florals. Whether it’s French Connection’s painterly shift dress or Oasis’s irresistible embroidery, embracing this trend is one way to ensure your style comes up smelling of roses. (Sorry, too easy.)

Debenhams’ Doppelganger We spotted Stella McCartney’s midnight blue floral gown on many an A-lister. Part of her Resort 2016 collection, it’s a captivating creation that we, too, have been dreaming of donning. Well, Debenhams has done it. This midi pays homage to Stella with bright blooms and a plunging neckline. See you on the red carpet (OK, we might have to settle for a dance floor somewhere).

Pre-Flight Prep

When you’ve (finally!) finished packing, smooth on Vichy Quenching Mineral Mask, £14, before bed. This will up your moisture levels before you jet off.
Ask for a green tea as well as water. It’s full of antioxidants to help your skin stay hydrated.
After Boarding
Before the film starts, apply (6) Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Advanced Brightening Night Capsules, £60, to revive the skin. These are great as they’re capsules so you can pack loads. Just keep them dry or they’ll end up mushy. The body retains water better if you eat it, so minimise toilet trips by snacking on cucumber, celery or watermelon.
Cleanse your skin to sweep off dirt and pollution with (1) Bioderma Micellar Water 100ml, £3.33. Applying an SPF when flying is important because you’re a) closer to the sun and b) skin is exposed to harmful reflective rays. Benefit is incredible for doing all your favourites in mini form. We love (2) Benefit Dream Screen SPF45 6ml, which comes as part of the Totally B Right Set, £18. Avoid any embarrassment by applying a clear face mask. (3) Sisley Express Flower Gel, £80, is perfect for flying and doesn’t need rinsing off so you can reapply your make-up when the seatbelt sign is switched back on.
Take Off The skin around your eyes shows dehydration quicker than the rest of your face. Treat it with (4) Benefit Puff Off, £22.50, which has a cooling tip to soothe tired eyes and will help lock in moisture. Reapply as much as you like as the flight goes on. Slather on (5) Dr Paw Paw Balm, £3.95, to stop lips cracking and use on your cuticles for an in-flight mani treatment.
Movie Time
Long Haul Fancy a snooze? Pop (7) Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Gels, £14 (4 pairs) on under your eye mask to stop puffiness – they’re packed with peptides and calming ingredients. Each pair comes in its own space-saving sachet. Want a multitasking eye mask? Iluminage Skin Rejuvenating Eye Mask, £25, contains copper oxide fibres to fight wrinkles while you sleep.
Landing Re-cleanse your skin, reapply your mask and your eye cream, then smooth on (8) Erborian BB Cream SPF20, £15, which evens out the skin, giving you a filter-like complexion. Cover dark circles and blemishes with (9) Mini Benefit Boi-ing, which comes in their How to Look The Best At Everything set, £25.50. A lip and cheek tint like (10) Arrow Revive Cooling Cheek Tint, £14, gives you a natural-looking flush and give your lashes a lift with (11) Chanel Dimensions Mascara, £25. Chanel counter staff gave us a 1ml sample that’s perfect for popping in your clear plastic bag.
Baggage Reclaim Nip to the loo and banish greasy roots with (12) Redken Pillow Proof Blow Dry Spray 54ml, £13.60. Then dab on (13) Prada miniatures collection, each £35, containing five 7/8ml fragrances – perfect for travel.

sing a hydrating spray during a flight will actually dry your skin more as the air looks for water where it can. So I keep reapplying a mask instead. I decant (�) Decléor Hydra Floral Mask, £24, into a little pot so it fits into my plastic bag. Sleeping on flights is hard but the (�) Holistic Silk Eye Mask, £48, is my saviour as it completely blacks out all light and is filled with lavender, which helps me drift off. Plus the tie is a gentle ribbon so it doesnÕt give me a headache like some of the elastic ones do. I have to fly with a toothbrush and IÕve recently discovered these cool portable electric toothbrushes from (�) Sonic Chic, £19.99 Ð they have a cap so they keep your brush as well as your teeth clean. Flying can cause me to break out as I have slightly oily skin. This is because oil production increases when youÕre dehydrated to combat the dryness Ð hence the spots a few days into your hols. Blotting with a tissue to reduce oil will do the trick. Then when you arrive at your destination, exfoliate and cleanse to keep skin clear. I love (�) Pai Kukui & Jojoba Bead Skin Brightening Exfoliator, £24.

o, obviously hydration during flights is an issue. To combat this I like to use (�) Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, £28, most days and I use a mask three times a week Ð my current favourite is (�) REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal mask, £32. You see instant results and skin looks so much brighter. I also really like Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel, £66.25, which is a good peel for when you feel a little grubby after a long journey or a night flight. I take my make-up off as soon as I get to the hotel room, usually with Bioderma Sensibio H2O, £10.50, as it thoroughly cleans and feels really gentle on the eyes. I also really like retinol products Ð I use (�) Verso Super Eye Serum with Retinol 8, £65, and (�) Dr Brandt Ruby Crystal Retinol Hydracrème, £45. When IÕm working and I have to wear make-up, I find (�) YSL Touche Éclat Foundation, £32.50, the best for a moisturising glow.

Oil-Based Styling Tips
l Less is more. No one wants the works-in-the-chip-shop finish
when using hair oils. Locks should be sleek, not greasy. l Rub a tiny amount on unruly eyebrows using the soft pad of your little finger. Oil can also make lashes look glossy, ditching the need for mascara, it you rub a little from root to tip. l Wah! If frizz strikes never fear – keep your oil and a toothbrush in your bag, then whip them out at the first sign of fuzz. Dose the brush with a little oil and then smooth down the frizz.
Dark Hair Oil HHHH Look’s Gabrielle: After working in this oil and quickly blow-drying, I couldn’t stop swishing my locks around. The smell’s amazing, thanks to the sandalwood and cedar wood ingredients, and it smoothed my hair completely. Charlotte: The packaging and smell were lovely. I had so many comments on the scent of this hair oil, people actually thought I was wearing perfume. It left my locks feeling soft but not extremely shiny. It’s still great, though.

She may only be four, but Blue Ivy definitely has a taste for designer. Case in point: she and mum Beyoncé’s matching Gucci frocks. While 643 of you loved the look on Insta, we’re a little put out. Blue looks super-cute, but there’s no way she’ll show that frock as good a time as we could.

The secret to eternal youth ain’t so secret any more. Thanks to their diet of fresh water shrimp, flamingos regularly consume the most powerful antioxidant for battling ageing. Yes, really. As well as giving lobsters, shrimp and flamingos their pink hue, astaxanthin reduces inflammation and oxidative damage to cells, which preserves the eyes, skin, joints and central nervous system and reduces lines and plumps. Gold Collagen Defence, £14.95 for a 30-day programme, does the same thing in pill form (just sayin’).

no, you haven’t woken up in 3016. Amazon has officially got the go-ahead to trial its drone delivery service in the uK, meaning your entire shopping experience will last a mere 30 minutes. That’s right, you place your order and it will arrive on your doorstep half an hour later. We can’t decide if this is brilliant or terrifying…
