If there's one viral trend sure to catch my attention, it's anything that promises to brighten the under eyes. As someone who has chronic puffiness and dark circles, I'm always willing to try a new technique, especially when it's as simple as introducing a little extra glow into my make-up routine. The latest online beauty obsession? Using Armani Luminous Silk Highlighter, £33 under the eyes. TikTok can't get enough of the brightening effect, with the product appearing to create a lit-from-within finish without looking overly glittery.

From Sienna Miller and Kim Kardashian, to Meghan Markle and Ariana Grande, Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation has amassed quite the celebrity following. And it's not hard to see why. The multi-award-winning foundation is loved for its lightweight, breathable feel and medium coverage, which can be built up to createa natural-looking, radiant second-skin finish. Naturally, its paved the way for the wider Luminous Silk collection to gain its own loyal following.

This latest beauty trend, however, has got us rethinking the traditional placement of a liquid highlight. Usually, a liquid highlight is applied underneath or over cream make-up, primarily on the tops of the cheekbones and down the centre of the face to lift and add radiance. But searches for 'under-eye highlight' have skyrocketed, with TikTok flooded with content creators experimenting with the technique which centres on using liquid highlighter as an under-eye brightener, rather than relying solely on concealer. It's safe to say, though, that make-up artists are somewhat divided.

On seamless, poreless skin (very often the result of a blinding ring light) the trend is designed to look perfectly flawless, bright and glowing. But we know that's not what everyone's skin looks like - mine included. Because while a little light reflection can work wonders, there's a fine line between looking radiant and inadvertently highlighting the very texture you're trying to disguise.

To get a professional take on the trend, we asked global make-up artist and Grazia beauty panellist Lan Nguyen-Grealis to weigh in. 'Skin will often benefit from something that has a slight reflection in it - nothing too glittery' she says.

Armani's Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter is described as a creamy, liquid highlighter designed to create a multi-dimensional 3D glow. Now, I know what you're thinking: a glowing, shimmery base under the eyes – how is that not going to make you look like the tin man from the Wizard of Oz? The idea behind applying liquid highlighter before concealer is to reflect light and add brightness, creating a fresh, luminous base that gives the skin that coveted lit-from-within finish. The viral formula from Armani Beauty contains micro-pearls, which enhance the skin’s natural dimensions and deliver a soft, radiant finish.

We also asked Nguyen-Grealis how best to apply a liquid highlighter under the eyes to achieve this viral look. She recommends: 'It’s best done with a light buffing brush or by tapping under the eye, and then adding a little in the inner corner or the outer part of the cheekbone to deflect light. A highlighter that’s dewy rather than glittery reflects and is perfect for lifting the skin, especially under the eyes. By mixing with a tinted moisturiser, foundation or concealer can give a more custom brightness under the eye that won’t cake and sit in the lines.'

And if you're wondering how you can achieve a similar look without applying tonnes of highlighter, Nguyen-Grealis has another clever tip. 'Even dabbing onto the centre of the eyelid, under the brow bone, will help lift the eye without putting too much product on the skin. The idea is to mix and use it in areas that seem dull. It gives extra hydration and a glowy feel.’

Ultimately this is a trend I'm more than happy to get behind. The trick is to use a light hand, choose a highlighter with a subtle, dewy finish and concentrate on the areas that need a little extra brightness. After all, the aim isn't to disguise your skin, but to give it a fresh, well-rested glow. And if a little liquid highlighter can help me achieve this? I'm sold.

Georgia Scott is a beauty commerce writer for Grazia. She has been obsessed with beauty products for as long as she can remember and spends her days hunting for the latest trending products to get her hands on to review.

David Walliams has found himself the centre of media attention amid allegations of sexual assault and 'grooming', published by The Guardian and ITV News today. They are allegations which the children's book author denies.

Published in the days following Russell Brand's sentencing, the allegations against Walliams have once again left many questioning his decades spent in the spotlight. One such moment that has come to light is a clip from an awards show, which saw Walliams become the punchline over jokes regarding teenage girls.

Walliams' big break had come with Little Britain, a provocative sketch show created with his long-time friend, Matt Lucas. The show detailed them playing now-infamous fictional characters, including tracksuited Vicky Pollard and 'Computer says no's Carol Beer. Such a success was the show that in 2004, it won an award at the British Comedy Awards.

At the ceremony, Walliams was captured dressed in his suit and bow-tie, enjoying himself amid the crowds of other attendees - even when he found himself becoming the butt of the joke.

Chat show TV host Jonathan Ross opened the show with a pointed joke towards the comedian. 'The comedy award is 15 years old - 15 years old!' he exclaimed, 'And like most 15-year-olds, it's drunk, it's unpredictable and it's probably going home with David Walliams.'

The jibe saw David throw his head back in laughter, as he stuck two fingers up to the TV host.

In their report, The Guardian wrote that Ross, responding through lawyers, said he did not write the joke.

The TV star went on to release a statement shortly after, addressing his connection to both Brand and Walliams.

Saying he was once on 'friendly terms with both men,' Ross shared in a statement that was he was 'as horrified by the revelations about David Walliams and the crimes of Russell Brand as the rest of the nation. My thoughts are with the many, many women who have bravely come forward.'

Ross also addressed his controversial joke made towards Walliams over 20 years ago, describing it as 'tasteless.'

He wrote, 'This joke was submitted to me by the Comedy Awards script writing team and I believed that the punchline was a reference to the fact he had publicly dated younger women, exaggerated for comic effect. Had I had any reason to suspect that it might be referring to actual events, I would not only have refused to use it, but I would not have felt comfortable continuing a personal or professional relationship with him.'

Nevertheless, it's a joke that now lands differently for many, following the allegations published in The Guardian and ITV News's investigation. Although people laughed at the time, the comments now prompt a different response amid allegations of sexual assault and grooming.

Walliams has been accused of allegedly grooming girls as young as 15, after he lost a court battle to block publication of the allegations. In a joint report from ITV News and The Guardian, multiple women alleged that the Britain's Got Talent judge used his celebrity status to groom them for sexual purposes when they were teenagers and young women.

One girl has claimed she was 15 when Walliams first contacted her. She claims they were having sex by the time she was 17 - allegations the TV star strongly denies.

Other claims from alleged victims saw some say the TV star used his status on Britain's Got Talent to connect with them. One woman claimed that she attended a live Britain's Got Talent show when she was 18 and sat behind the judges. On the way home, Walliams allegedly messaged her on Instagram and invited her to stay at his house in London. She says she agreed and went with a friend, but as they watched a film, Walliams reportedly stroked her leg. She also claims that he tried to kiss her, with her rejecting his advances. Walliams told the investigation that he did not force himself onto the woman, and denied having any sexual contact with her.

Walliams - who has seen his books pulled from publication and his Alton Towers attraction closed in recent months - has denied all allegations made against him. He said, 'I am not a sexual predator,' but acknowledges 'at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with.'

He continued, 'I realize that I did not always take people's feelings properly into account. That is something I regret. And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something I never did.'

Walliams had initially asked the High Court to block the publication of the investigation, saying it would be 'highly likely' he would kill himself were the allegations made public. The court refused the request, saying the risks could be mitigated and that it was not the court's responsibility to protect his wellbeing. While Walliams did have a right to appeal the court's decision against his forever injunction, he did not exercise it.

Meanwhile, Britain's Got Talent production firm, Fremantle UK, has said the company is 'disturbed and concerned' by allegations made against the former judge. Fremantle maintain that 'during his time on the show and in the intervening period, no complaint was ever made regarding his behavior to Fremantle UK.' They went on to urge anyone who felt they had been 'the subject of any impropriety or wrongdoing by anyone on Fremantle or associated labels' productions' to come forward.

One of my favourite beauty categories is base make-up. During my time as a beauty journalist, I've developed quite the knack for knowing what I'm going to love within days. My own personal MO has changed considerably over the past few years. As the fine lines around my eyes settle in and the pigmentation creeps across my upper lip, I've come to realise that heavy, glamorous make-up is not for me. Instead, I prefer lighter, barely there French girl bases. Think elegant, featherlight skin tints and foundation balms that provide a subtle, soft wash of coverage. I want smoothed wrinkles, blurred blemishes and plumped up cheeks. Boots The Edit Skin Tint and Clarins’ Tinted Moisturiser have both been recent favourites, but for the past few weeks I've found another favourite sitting in the palm of my hand. Enter Tirtir's Tinted Skin Glow Cushion Foundation, £25.99. Here's why I think you're going to love it.

What does the Tirtir Tinted Skin Glow Cushion Foundation do?

The brand describe the finish as a 'clean glow' and I'm inclined to agree. A small amount pressed into the skin is designed to even skin tone and improve it in the long run too. It's a 73% serum-infused base, meaning it's brimming with beauty benefits - think peptides, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol for plumped up, youthful skin. The finish is like light make-up, but the long term effect is a formula that really cares for your skin.

How To Apply Tirtir Tinted Skin Glow Cushion Foundation

Application? It’s not difficult per se, but I would say it’s a little more time-consuming than applying make-up with a stippling brush. The compact comes with a small, flat sponge, which you press into the foundation before pressing it into the skin. It’s this pressing motion that takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve worked out where you’d like extra coverage the whole process becomes much quicker. You only need a small amount to even out the skin tone and provide a subtle wash of colour. I’d then recommend pairing it with a great setting powder to enhance staying power.

'Don't be put off by the idea of a compact - they've come a long way since your school days. While this one takes a little time to apply, once you've mastered the art of the 'press and pat' motion, you'll no doubt appreciate the beauty of the product - it looks like my skin, but on a really good day. Wash and replace the sponge regularly and you'll be onto a winner.'

Our verdict

Rachael Martin beauty director:

'I haven’t had my hands on a compact foundation for ages, but this one feels a world away from the clunky numbers I remember. The compact itself is beautiful, with a lovely, understated aesthetic and a silver glint that makes it feel all the more special. The formula blooms into the cushion beautifully without feeling watery or clumpy. The texture is sheer and light - even when I’m in a rush it's so blendable, making it feel fool-proof. Simply dab the sponge lightly across the face for a sheer veil of coverage, adding a little extra around the T-zone if, like me, that’s where you tend to get a little oily as the day goes on.

'The result is impressive, and exactly what I’m always hoping for when testing a new base product. I don’t want a mega-watt filter or a completely different-looking complexion. Instead, I want skin that simply looks like good, healthy, well-cared-for skin. I want people to think I'm well-rested, that I eat well and that I get my daily dose of fresh air. And I think this delivers just that. The fine lines around my eyes look softer and smoother, while my cheeks appear a little more lifted and plump. It also does a great job of concealing blemishes without the need for concealer, thanks to how easily you can build up the coverage. Application takes a little longer than usual, but with a bit of practice, you’ll soon become a dab hand (pun intended) at it.'

Final thoughts

Don't be put off by the idea of a compact - they've come a long way since your school days. While this one takes a little time to apply, once you've mastered the art of the 'press and pat' motion, you'll no doubt appreciate the beauty of the product - it looks like my skin, but on a really good day. Bright, glowing and fresh. Wash and replace the sponge regularly and you'll be onto a winner.

As an actor, Nicola Coughlan has conquered comedy with her pitch-perfect timing in Derry Girls and proven herself as a romantic leading lady in Bridgerton. Now, she’s about to take on gritty realism with the powerful two-part drama I Am… Helen.

Following in the footsteps of Lesley Manville, Kate Winslet and Samantha Morton, Coughlan stars in the title role in the latest instalment of Channel 4’s I Am… anthology series. The plot follows the unravelling of Helen’s relationship after her boyfriend Steve (Joe Cole), influenced by the manosphere both on- and offline, becomes increasingly aggressive.

The narrative makes a timely point about toxic masculinity, but Coughlan insists it isn’t just an ideas vehicle. ‘I think if you set out to make an issue-based show, you’re destined to fail because people feel like they’re being bashed over the head with it,’ she says. ‘We’re telling the story of this relationship and there happens to be an issue that runs through it.’

There was no audition process; instead, a coffee with the show’s BAFTA-winning creator Dominic Savage led to the pair co-developing the premise together. ‘Dominic writes the story, but there’s no dialogue – it’s completely improvised,’ Coughlan explains. ‘A lot of it doesn’t make it in the final cut because you shoot for entire days for three weeks.’ The unscripted process was new – and nerve-racking – territory for the actor. ‘I felt I could really fall on my face here. It’s like jumping and trusting that the harness is tied.’

Fall on her face she does not; in fact, Coughlan gives one of the TV performances of the year. Her chemistry with Cole is remarkable, given the pair had little time to build a rapport before filming. ‘We had no rehearsals,’ she reveals. ‘We met once briefly the day before we started shooting to take some photographs that they were putting in the flat [as props] and that was it.’

There was an intimacy coordinator for the sex scenes but, says Coughlan, ‘It was different from Bridgerton, where it’s very planned out – you’re going from point A to B to C. With this, we had to set quite clear boundaries of what we were comfortable doing and what we weren’t, and then it was like, “Off you go.”’

I Am… Helen opens with Steve, a porn addict, putting his hands around Helen’s throat during sex – a prescient detail given that new legislation came into force this month that bans images of strangulation in porn.

Coughlan hopes the scene highlights the role of consent in a long-term relationship. ‘You can’t ever assume. You’re looking at a couple who have been together five years, have been having sex for that entire time and then it switches to something she’s not comfortable with – and he just can’t see how it’s not OK. People really need to be aware of that – there’s not a point in any relationship where you go, “Yes, everything’s fine.”’

Filming the volatile disintegration of the couple’s relationship was intense. Producers were conscious of their duty of care and Coughlan was offered therapy throughout the gruelling production. ‘On day two, I was like, “I’m fine.” And then by day four it was, “Oh no, this is actually very heavy.” There’s a lot of crying and there are scenes where Steve smashes up the apartment, punches the fridge. You know, logically, that it’s not real, but your nervous system is going, “That’s quite scary to be around.” I was drained and speaking to a therapist was essential.’

The drama will undoubtedly spark heated debate. ‘I’m apprehensive about this coming out,’ Coughlan admits. ‘It’s scary to feel like we’re poking the bear. That wasn’t the intention, but it’s such a hot topic right now.’ For her, the current online discourse in the manosphere feels ‘dystopian’. ‘The patriarchy isn’t really serving anyone because men’s mental health has never been worse – there has to be a correlation.’

I Am… Helen is a serious watch but it provides hope, too – and that was vital for Coughlan. ‘What’s really important about Dominic’s work is that the stories always end on a positive note,’ she says. ‘It’s not about victims. It’s about how women in difficult situations get through it, figure out how to survive. Hopefully, people going through similar things will think, “Oh God, that’s me and I don’t have to do this – there is a way out of this.”’

I Am… Helen is on Channel 4 and available to stream from 16 November.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been a runaway hit ever since it started in 2024. The reality show turned a group of Mormon influencers from Utah into global stars almost overnight, and now producers are looking to repeat their success in Orange County.

Why is Avery on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County?

Avery is part of the Mormon friendship group that has been cast in the new spin-off, despite being described as 'negative 10' on the Mormon 1-10 scale.

We are, according to Stacy S Kim, in an envy crisis. Kim is a social scientist and career coach for high achievers; her clients are perhaps those you’d least expect to long for what others have. But envy is ‘inevitable, natural and universal’, she says; we are hardwired to make social comparisons. Add modern technology into the mix and it’s no wonder we’re all trying to keep up with the Joneses. ‘With the proliferation of mobile devices, we have ample opportunities to feel envy multiple times an hour, any time of day, in the palm of our hands.’

It’s not a feeling that most of us enjoy and is generally considered ungracious: we’re supposed to practise a kindly acceptance of what we’ve got. But Kim sees things differently; envy is something to be harnessed, she thinks. ‘Examining it can show you how to build meaningful work, deep relationships and uplifting contributions – the three key ingredients that, I believe, make for an extraordinary life.’

Kim’s new book, 'Envy: Why Wanting What They Have Is The Key To Getting What You Want', explains the difference between envy and jealousy (a form of envy that requires a third party – for instance, the fear of losing an important relationship to a rival) and argues that reframing our thinking can push us towards our goals.

The author is no stranger to this challenge. ‘I feel envy all the time,’ she says. It hit her powerfully when she wanted a book deal and during the years she spent struggling to conceive a baby – when she admits finding it hard to stomach constant pregnancy announcements from friends.

But having grown up between the US and Korea, Kim has observed that envy doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. In Korea, where she spent her adolescence, there are two words for this feeling, and one of them denotes admiration. This speaks to what she sees as its two forms: benign envy (‘I wish to be like you’) and malicious envy, which involves resenting what someone else has.

Kim urges us to lean into our benign envy, rather than pretend we’re not feeling it. ‘It tells us what we want,’ she says. ‘It’s very clear-cut and honest. We don’t want to hide it. We don’t want to suppress it. What we want to do is look at it.’ It can be viewed as a compass, she explains, pointing us towards what matters to us most.

Take a friend’s social-media post about a dinner she recently attended. Kim tells us to interrogate why envy hits: is it the apparent glamour of her life? That you have a baby at home and are mourning the loss of your freedom? Or is it simply that you want to eat delicious food?

‘Use that envy as a cue: OK, what is it that I really want? And then, is there another way for me to go about getting that?’ Being ashamed of our feelings ‘keeps us stuck’, she adds, while analysing the root of them ‘can tell you so much and help you make better choices’.

'Use that envy as a cue: OK, what is it that I really want?

Kim believes our cravings for what others have can be considered in four ways – and looking at them through these lenses can shed light on what we really want.

Relevant comparison

‘An envier measures herself against others in a domain that is important to her,’ Kim explains. Take a young cellist: she might feel uncomplicated joy for a friend who excels in tennis, but a musician displaying otherworldly talent could trigger feelings of inferiority. What it really confirms is where your ambitions lie.

Intangible desire

‘There is something the envier wants that is important to her, but not in her possession,’ says Kim. While this may seem like a longing for material things, it’s really about intangible desire – something we can’t see but can feel. Perhaps what you want isn’t your friend’s wardrobe but a sense of financial freedom; maybe you wouldn’t want your colleague’s promotion but you do wish you felt valued at work. ‘The true source of our envy is a circumstance, position or characteristic behind the thing, not the thing itself.’

Similar target

We typically envy someone in our orbit. ‘It’s the proximity that ignites the sense of entitlement or that question, “Hey, why not me?”’ says Kim. But a win for someone else doesn’t necessarily reflect an impossibility for you. ‘It can give you hope. You can remind yourself, “Well, if she can do it, that means I’m not so far behind.”’

Negative emotions

These stem from ‘both the lack of what is wanted, and the sense of inferiority from the comparison’, says Kim. ‘The more envy you feel, the more upset you are by your envy – so that negativity is like a gauge.’ The stronger it is, the more urgent a message it is: there’s something you really want and now’s the time to pursue it.

‘Envy: Why Wanting What They Have Is The Key To Getting What You Want’ (Hachette) is out now

At this time of year, finding truly beautiful perfumes suited to the season is my MO. I want a juice that feels like twinkling lights and roaring fires. Like tartan dress jackets and velvet hair bows. Jo Malone London's Vanilla Scotch Cologne has become a recent favourite, thanks to its opulent, boozy notes that feel as sophisticated as they do unexpected - it's truly beautiful. Yet a perfume loyalist I am not, for another new launch has landed on my desk. Enter Balmain Paris Vanille Sculptée Eau De Parfum, £145.

It's hardly a surprise I'm already swooning over this one. The Parisian fashion house is well known for its meeting of traditional rock ’n’ roll with rich French heritage. This summer I fell in love with another of its scents - Destin de Balmain. It was perfect for the warmer months. Delicate, floral and feminine. Sweet, light and airy. This newest launch, however, feels like its very opposite. It's darker and more daring. It does, however, manage to retain that elusive feeling of French-girl cool.

When I smell a scent like this I find that’s where I’m really tested as a writer. How, dear reader, can I describe something so utterly beautiful with mere words? I can only attempt. I spritz the juice on the back of my wrist, waft it, then sniff. Vanilla is the first note that bursts out at me. Deep, sophisticated and subtly sweet. It’s not ice-cream saccharine. This is richer, more expensive. Like some sort of flambéed pudding served up in clinking antique silverware. It feels elegant, and perfectly considered. Next, comes the amber. It’s rich and cosetting. Like a cashmere jumper teamed with a flash of gold jewellery. Or a polished leather bag that makes a satisfying ‘clunk’ when the clasp closes. The ‘oomph’ doesn’t end here. There’s the peppery depth of baies rose which, while heady, adds femininity and the feeling of romance. A gentle kiss goodbye after a night spent over crisp champagne. But make no mistake. This is no wallflower. Oh, no. This scent is powerful. It’s strong and packs a punch, lingering on the skin for hours after that initial spritz. It’s a scent that’s made for a moment. An engagement. An anniversary. A glittering Christmas night out. This is not an everyday perfume, and for that reason, I find it all the more compelling. Something to reach for on truly special occasions? Vanille Sculptée, I think, is quite perfect.

Trust those French women to serve up another classic.

Following the news that Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, his life, career and friendships are being revisited in a new light.

While a friendship with Brand is not indicative of any wrongdoing, Brand was ubiquitous in the UK comedy circuit for more than two decades, which means he worked with a long list of household names.

One such friend is current Bake Off co-host Noel Fielding. Brand and Fielding became friends at the start of their comedy careers in the early 2000s. They shared a similar aesthetic and sense of humour and were regularly seen at media events and parties with one another.

Following Channel 4's 2023 documentary about the allegations against Brand, a clip of the duo on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year in 2007 caused controversy. In the clip host Jonathan Ross makes a joke about it being unsafe for Lily Allen 'the only woman on the show' to sit next to Brand and Fielding. Ross and Fielding did not publicly respond to the clip. Allen later said the interaction made her feel uncomfortable.

Although they were friends for many years, Fielding has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Season 17 of Bake Off is currently airing on Channel 4, with Fielding hosting alongside Alison Hammond. Fielding has been working on the show for almost a decade and with the final two weeks away, he has addressed whether he will return next year.

Appearing on the Dish podcast last month, Fielding said: 'Once Alison came on I was like, "This is the greatest job ever" and I was like, "I'll stay forever until they kick me out" because we have so much fun.'

There are currently no signs to suggest Fielding will not return for season 18.

The Body has finally arrived on Netflix – and if you’re looking for a psychological horror to wrap up the last of Halloween, you’ll be pleased to know this one ticks all boxes…

The eight-episode series, created by Quinn Shephard, follows a group of eight Catholic school girls. Beginning on Halloween night, the story follows the Lions dance team, who carry out a mysterious ritual on their newest recruit. However, their initiation goes wrong – leading to prophetic visions and hysteria throughout the town.

It's described by Netflix as a ‘raunchy, sin-filled ode to the 2000s' – consider us well and truly sat.

If you’ve found yourself in a late-night scroll looking for the best baby changing bag, only to emerge an hour later with 27 tabs open and absolutely no idea which one to buy, I get it. There are a lot of changing bags out there.

As a mum to a three-year-old and someone with a fairly serious designer bag obsession, I’ve spent the last few years figuring out what actually makes a good baby bag and, just as importantly, what doesn’t. I’ve used different styles for different stages and occasions, paid attention to the brands that consistently get the details right and learnt that there really isn’t one changing bag that does everything.

And, yes, I did splurge on my first designer changing bag: a quilted Burberry. It was a beautiful introduction to the world of baby bags, but having lived with a toddler for three years, I can tell you that the prettiest bag isn't necessarily the one you’ll reach for every morning.

The good news is that you no longer have to choose between something practical and something you actually want to carry – the changing-bag market has come a long way. There are beautifully considered totes, compact stroller organisers, roomy backpacks and clever hybrids that look much more like the bags already hanging in your wardrobe.

That’s what I’ve focused on here. This isn't simply a list of the most expensive changing bags or the ones with the most pockets. I've looked at the things that matter when you're actually out with a baby or toddler: capacity, organisation, ease of carrying, stroller compatibility, materials, sustainability, versatility and, naturally, style.

Because, depending on the day, you might need a completely different bag. A roomy tote for a full day out. A compact organiser for a quick trip to the shops. A backpack for travelling when you need both hands free. Or a beautifully designed option that makes you forget, momentarily, that you're carrying three nappies, a half-eaten banana and approximately 14 emergency snacks.

So, consider this your shortcut through the noise: These are the changing bags I'd genuinely put on a parent's radar, each chosen for a different reason.

How I chose the best changing bags

The best changing bag is ultimately the one that works for your life, but there are a few things I think are worth looking for.

Organisation: Can you actually find the wipes when you need them, or are they destined to disappear beneath a mountain of muslins?

Capacity: A newborn may need an impressive amount of equipment, while toddlers somehow require even more snacks. A good bag needs enough room without becoming a black hole.

Versatility: I like a bag that can move between the buggy, your shoulder and your back and, ideally, one that doesn’t look the part.

Materials: Water resistance and wipe-clean linings aren't glamorous, but they become very glamorous indeed when someone spills a drink inside your bag.

Sustainability: Where brands use recycled or organic materials, I've highlighted it, but I don't think a recycled fabric automatically makes a bag a good buy. It still needs to work.

Longevity: Three years into motherhood, I know better than to buy something that only works for the newborn stage. The best bags should evolve with you.

Style: This is Grazia, after all. There is no reason your baby bag can't work with your wardrobe.

<strong>Finnsøn, Sigrid Eco Changing Bag with Changing Mat in Beige</strong>

If you're a fan of the cosy, tactile bag or simply want something that feels a little more autumn/winter than the usual black nylon, Finnsøn's Sigrid is the one I'd be looking at. The borg teddy finish gives it that wonderfully soft, wintery feel, but this is much more than a pretty bag. It has a 15.9-litre capacity, four internal pockets, three external pockets and a thermo-insulated bottle holder, plus a padded changing mat. There’s also a detachable crossbody strap, so you can carry it hands-free when required. What I particularly like is that it feels like a proper everyday tote first and a changing bag second. It has the structure and texture you want from a good handbag while still giving you the organisation required for life with a little one. It's also made from 100% certified recycled PET polyester, and the materials are machine washable, with a wipe-proof internal lining, two details that become increasingly important the longer you parent.

Thule, Aion Changing Backpack

When you're travelling with a baby or toddler, my advice is simple: free your hands wherever possible. The Thule Aion is the changing backpack I'd look at if you're heading away or simply prefer the practicality of a backpack. It comes with a padded, wipeable changing mat, a separate soil bag and a removable sling bag, which is particularly useful for those situations when you don't need to take the whole backpack with you. There are multiple compartments for keeping everything organised, and, unlike a tote, the weight sits across your back, leaving both hands available for your child, luggage, coffee or whatever else the day throws at you. The Aion is also made with bluesign-certified waxed canvas and is water-resistant, which feels particularly sensible for British weather and family travel. At 34 x 15 x 45cm and 1.1kg, it's a substantial bag without being ridiculous, exactly what I want from a travel changing backpack.

Tiba + Marl, Pocket Tote Brown Gingham

You’ve probably seen this viral gingham tote bag on the arms of the impeccably fashionable mums out there. I’m a fan of this pretty changing bag myself, and it’s one I’ve coveted for a while. It doesn’t look like a baby changing bag at all, which is the whole point, and gingham? Yes please. And it’s viral for more than just how it looks. It’s a really good everyday tote that just happens to work brilliantly for parenthood, rather than feeling like a traditional changing bag. The frill detail is a cute touch, too, and I love that you could still use it even when you’re out of the changing-bag stage. It’s deceptively practical, with a fuss-free interior that gives you plenty of space for all the things you somehow need when leaving the house with a baby. There are six spacious slip pockets on the outside, which are great for keeping everything organised, or for quickly stuffing things away when you can’t face organising them, plus an internal drop pocket and key fob for the essentials. There are three strap options, too, so you can carry it however works for you. You can clip it onto your buggy using the optional stroller clips, or pop it underneath into the underseat basket when you’re out and about. It’s made from 100% recycled polyester derived from end-of-life textile waste and finished with gunmetal hardware, which gives it a more elevated feel. It also has a habit of selling out, so if you’ve had your eye on one, I wouldn’t hang around.

Storksak by MORI, Alyssa Changing Bag - Black &amp; Gold

Storksak by MORI is one of the baby bag brands I see most often on new parents' backs, and I can see why the Alyssa is such a popular choice. It has that lovely balance of looking like a proper handbag while still doing everything you need from a changing bag. You can wear it as a backpack or switch to the shoulder strap, and there are nine pockets to keep nappies, wipes and all those little essentials organised. I particularly like the square zip opening, which means you can actually see what you've packed without having to dig around. It also comes with a padded changing mat and matching insulated bottle and food bag, while the water-resistant finish makes it a practical choice for everyday outings.

Bugaboo x Stella McCartney Tote Bag

There are changing bags that look like baby gear, and then there are changing bags you’d happily carry even if you weren’t a parent. The Bugaboo x Stella McCartney Tote is firmly in the second camp. Part of Bugaboo's limited-edition Stella McCartney collaboration, it takes the practical engineering of a changing bag and gives it a much more fashion-conscious treatment, with Stella's vintage-inspired gold medallion detailing and monogram fabric. But the style isn't at the expense of function. It has a 22-litre capacity, two main compartments for separating wet and dry items, an insulated clutch, three mesh clutches, a hidden zipped pocket and an insulated bottle holder. Pushchair attachment hooks are included, too. It's made using recycled polyester and water-free-dyed recycled fabrics, while the exterior is water-repellent and the inside is wipe-clean. This is the one I'd choose if you want your changing bag to feel like part of the outfit rather than another piece of baby equipment. And I'm calling it: it's one of the chicest changing bags I've seen that doesn't come with a designer price tag. At under £200, I'd happily buy this rather than splurge £1,000-plus on a branded changing bag.

Avery Row, Baby Changing Backpack - Soft Black

This is the changing bag I use every day, so I can tell you from experience that the Avery Row Baby Changing Backpack in Soft Black really does earn its place in this edit. It’s also a bestseller for the brand, and it gets my vote. If you’re looking for the best puffy quilted changing bag on the market, this is the one for me. I particularly like it because it matches my puffer jackets perfectly in cold weather. It makes it feel much more like a fashion backpack, while the black goes with absolutely everything. It’s a really good size, too, with a 23-litre capacity, organised internal pockets, a thermal bottle pocket, two outer bottle pockets and a zipped compartment for your valuables. It also has a laptop sleeve, which I actually think is a brilliant addition if you’re using it for work as well as parenting. I use this for travelling too, as it comes with some handy additions like a mini changing mat, thermal pouch and pram clips, and the recycled nylon is water-resistant, which is particularly useful when you’re caught out in the rain. The padded straps are comfortable enough to wear all day, and when I’m using the pram, I can simply clip it on. For me, this is the bag that has become part of my everyday routine. It holds everything I need without looking or feeling overly _mumsy._

Wildride, Recycled Changing Bag in Savannah

Once your baby becomes a toddler, the contents of your bag change dramatically. Suddenly you're carrying snacks, spare layers, toys, wipes, a water bottle and approximately half the contents of the kitchen. The Wildride Recycled Changing Bag is designed with that stage of parenting in mind. Despite its generous size, it’s lightweight, so you get plenty of room without the bag itself adding unnecessary weight to your already overloaded load. The Savannah colourway has a softly padded, structured feel and an earthy graphic that makes it look more like a contemporary everyday bag than a traditional baby bag.  Inside, there’s a bottle pocket, zipped valuables pocket, key clip and space for extra layers or your Wildride carrier. It can also attach to a pram, while the wide handles and adjustable strap give you different ways to carry it. The shell and lining are made from recycled polyester, and the bag has a generous 57 x 41cm footprint. I particularly like this for the toddler years, when your changing bag becomes less about nappies and more about being prepared for literally anything.

Tiba + Marl, Riley Compact East-West Changing Bag

Every fashionable mum I know carries a Tiba + Marl baby bag, and while I do love almost everything they drop, I think they’ve really nailed it with the Riley. If the thought of carrying a traditional changing bag makes you feel like you've temporarily lost your fashion identity, meet the Riley. The east-west silhouette is deliberately understated, with a clean exterior that wouldn't look out of place in a contemporary handbag collection. Inside, it has two slip pockets and an insulated bottle holder, while the outside has two rear pockets and a secure front zipped pocket. It comes with a padded changing mat and stroller straps, so you're not sacrificing practicality for the streamlined shape. It's also made from 100% recycled polyester, with a water-resistant, wipe-clean finish. At 8.6 litres, it's smaller than some of the big changing totes here, which is actually part of its appeal. It encourages you to take what you need rather than everything you own. And yes, it’s the kind of bag I’d happily carry when there isn’t a nappy in sight. It looks and feels like a proper fashion bag while quietly doing the job of a changing bag. It’s also comfortable to carry over the shoulder, clip onto the pram or carry as a handbag.

Kipling Nappisac Medium Baby Bag (with Changing Mat)

A baby bag that doesn't look like a baby bag? Now we're talking! The Kipling Nappisac is one of those clever designs that could just as easily pass for a work tote or gym bag. Practicality without sacrificing style. Available in gorgeous green, pink and banana print, as well as classic black (because black goes with everything), it features Kipling's iconic monkey keychain, this time with an adorable baby monkey on her shoulders. Honestly, stealing the show.  Inside, you'll find clever compartments to keep bottles, wipes and spare clothes organised, two insulated bottle holders at the front, a changing mat and even a key leash. It comes with an additional shoulder strap and stroller attachments, making it easy to carry or hang on your pushchair. And just when you think you've seen it all, the inside has a fun banana-print lining. Very Kipling. A stylish, practical multitasker that carries baby essentials without shouting 'I've got a baby!' What's not to love?

7 AM Enfant, SoHo Satchel - Prints 

If you’re looking for a stylish baby bag with sustainable credentials, then you’d want to check out 7 AM Enfant’s Soho Satchel – Prints. It doesn’t remotely look like a baby bag but has got everything you need for parenthood. Inspired by Manhattan’s infamous shopping district, SoHo, it’s lightweight, water-repellent and spacious enough to carry all your essentials when out and about with your little bub. I love its puffed-up, glossy finish with the little dots, which give it a fun, stylish look.  What makes it even more practical is how well it’s organised, with five spacious internal pockets, two external side pockets and a front pocket where you can keep snacks or baby wipes for easy access. It comes with a strap, while the long handles also let you carry it comfortably over your shoulder and also includes a changing mat and a small pouch for your cards and keys, so you don’t end up rummaging around in a big duffle-style nappy bag every time you need something. The bag itself is surprisingly deep and spacious, making it a good option for a hospital bag, too. It’s compact enough for trips around town but roomy enough for weekends away, and can easily double up as a workout bag when you’re done with baby duties for the day.

ROKA London, Primrose Baby Changing Bag in Corn

For parents who live in trainers, waterproof jackets and outdoor walks, the ROKA London Primrose is a particularly good match. ROKA is known for its weather-ready approach to bags, and the Primrose is a 4-in-1 changing bag designed to move between parenting and everyday life. It comes with a detachable crossbody sling, changing mat and dummy pouch, so you can take only the part you need rather than lugging the whole bag around. The corn colour is also a welcome change from the endless black and grey usually associated with practical baby gear. It's made from recycled nylon produced from factory fabric scraps and offcuts, and the bag has a 25.3-litre capacity, so there is plenty of room for a full day out. ROKA also offers a two-year warranty and says it funds plastic collection with every order.

Finnsøn, Freya Eco Oversized Stroller Organiser in Gingham Check

There are days when taking your entire changing bag out feels a little excessive. You're going to the park for an hour, popping to the shops or heading out for a quick coffee, and all you really need are nappies, wipes, snacks, a change of clothes and a few toddler distractions. This is where a good stroller organiser earns its place. Finnsøn's Freya is particularly clever because it sits somewhere between an organiser and a proper changing bag. It has a 10.4-litre capacity, an insulated bottle holder, two internal pockets and three external pockets, while the included universal stroller clips mean it can attach to any pram. It also comes with a crossbody strap, so you can take it off the buggy and carry it yourself. And then there’s the gingham. Because if we're going to have a bag permanently attached to the pram, it might as well look good. It's made from 100% certified recycled PET polyester and is both water-repellent and machine washable. It looks compact but holds considerably more than you'd expect. I’d recommend this for quick outings, playdates, coffee runs and parents who don't want to haul a giant changing bag everywhere.

Avery Row, Baby Changing Bag Bundle in Riverbank

Sometimes the easiest way to start is simply to buy the whole kit. One of my favourite baby brands is Avery Row, and I’ve been a fan of its baby bag collection for a while, but its bestselling bundle just gets you off to a good start with everything you need. The Wild Chamomile bundle brings together a spacious changing bag, travel changing mat and three organic cotton muslin squares, all in the brand’s signature whimsical print. It’s a beautifully coordinated starter set that takes the guesswork out of buying your first changing bag. The bag itself is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas, with a matching cotton percale lining and recycled polyester filling. It has wide straps, stroller clips, internal and external pockets and a water-resistant coating, while the matching changing mat folds down neatly for travel. This is the sort of baby gear I particularly like as a new-parent gift because it feels like a really well-thought-out present rather than just another piece of baby kit. Avery Row also has that soft, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic that makes it easy to work into a more neutral nursery and wardrobe.

'Sleep is my number-one priority in life,' Dakota Johnson told an interviewer in 2023. She needs at least 10 hours to function, she claimed, and can happily keep going for as long as 14.

Among the rich and famous, good sleep is a status symbol. Kim Kardashian and Gwyneth Paltrow once publicly compared the ‘sleep scores’ they’d been given by their Oura rings. (Kardashian had an ‘optimal’ rating for her eight hours and 15 minutes, in case you were wondering.) Even the tech bros are at it: once, it was a flex to get up at 5am, but now Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are disciples of Big Sleep. Both purportedly use Eight Sleep’s temperature-controlled mattress covers – which start at £1,799.

The perfect night’s rest is a luxury we all aspire to. No matter how hard we try to attain it, success isn’t guaranteed; in fact, sometimes the obsessive pursuit chases it further away. Experts have coined a term for this phenomenon. ‘Orthosomnia is a condition in which individuals focus excessively on trying to optimise or control their sleep, paradoxically creating worsening difficulties,’ explains Dr Alanna Hare, a consultant in sleep medicine at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.

Our health-tracking devices can feed into the condition. ‘Fixating on metrics such as sleep scores can lead to an unhealthy focus on trying to control something that is not controllable,’ says Hare. The scores may not even be correct. ‘Consumer devices are often not accurate, particularly in terms of discerning the difference between non-REM and REM sleep. It is frequently unclear how a score has been derived.’

'We're trying to control something that isn't controllable'

We’re also dangerously open to suggestion. A study from the University of Oxford gave participants trackers, then manipulated their sleep scores to show an increased or decreased quality of sleep. Those who were told they had had a poor night’s sleep reported a worse mood, struggles with thought processes and increased tiredness.

‘Imagine waking up feeling fine, but then you check your watch and your sleep score says you slept badly,’ says Heather Darwall-Smith, a sleep psychologist and the founder of the ADHD Sleep Club. ‘You start noticing every yawn and see it as proof your day will be hard.’

Accuracy aside, experts say these trackers never show the full picture. ‘How you feel in your body, your ability to think, to concentrate… all of that is equal data,’ says Dr Katharina Lederle, a sleep specialist with a PhD in sleep and circadian rhythms.

In reality, how we sleep is affected by a constellation of factors unique to each of us, although women tend to fare worse than men. ‘Women struggle with sleep issues more due to biology, their menstrual cycle and perimenopause,’ says Lederle.

Your best bet is to tap into your body’s natural rhythms. Are you up with the lark or a night owl? This is your chronotype: your tendency to feel most alert at a particular time of day. ‘Find out what your best sleep times are and work out if you can allow your body to sleep within that window,’ advises Lederle.

Of course, this isn’t practical for everyone – but there are tactics you can employ to cope with a poor night’s rest. ‘Focus on getting bright light outside in the earlier part of the day, as this is one of our strongest circadian influences and can really help with mood, energy and alertness,’ says Hare. And yes, caffeine is an ‘extremely effective alerting agent, but you should try not to consume it after lunchtime’.

While we fetishise getting ‘optimal’ rest, it has no agreed definition. ‘Seven to nine hours is a good guideline for most, but it varies from person to person and at different times in life,’ says Darwall-Smith.

And it’s normal not to get it right every night. Good sleep comes when you remove pressure. ‘Focus on ensuring a healthy sleep environment the majority of the time, rather than perfection on a nightly basis,’ says Hare. Often, our bodies have it covered. ‘Our brains are very effective at catching up on lost sleep and they will prioritise the most important sleep stages when recovering after a period of deprivation.’

You don’t have to ditch your beloved tracker, either – it can still be helpful in the right circumstances. ‘Many of my clients are neurodivergent and their sense of what’s happening internally can work very differently,’ explains Darwall-Smith. ‘Telling someone to “listen to their body” isn’t helpful if that body feels silent and, in those cases, a tracker might be the only source of information.’

If your sleep score is negatively affecting you, however, interrupt the obsessive cycle. ‘Turn off your tracker, switch off sleep notifications, turn your clock to face the wall, or take a break from content that makes you worry about one bad night,’ says Darwall-Smith. ‘I hope people can stop feeling judged by their own sleep habits.’

Freedom from tracker tyranny: that sounds like a luxury money can’t buy.

My Ocado order contains one substituted item. There’s no still water in stock, but I can have the apple and blackcurrant-flavoured sparkling variety if I want. I try not to cry, because this means I’ll now have to go to the Big Sainsbury’s, somehow squeezing it in after calling HMRC, going to the post office, getting petrol, putting on two loads of laundry and, of course, doing a full day of work.

It turns out I’m not alone in my complete inability to get onboard with Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s ‘Be Ready’ campaign, which advises the public to have 72 hours’ worth of supplies in the event of a cyber attack, wildfire or flooding, or maybe all three at once. Unlike so-called ‘soft prepper dads’ and Boomer housewives who thrive on this stuff (my mum has had tins of corned beef and sardines at the ready, along with the dubiously named ‘chunky chicken’, for years), Millennial women like me already have so much on our plate that the thought of adding anything else is enough to send us over the edge.

We’re expected not only to excel in our careers, but also be great partners, keep vaguely in shape, stay on top of beauty admin and maintain an active social life. At some point, a ball is going to be dropped. You forgot to get the boiler serviced and now it’s broken and it’s zero degrees. You didn’t sort your MOT in time and now you can’t drive. You failed to Be Prepared and now you’re hungry and sitting in the dark.

Still, preparing for a 72-hour apocalypse (what happens after those three days?) feels like the final straw on our already crushing mental load. And before anyone dares to mansplain that it’s just about putting some extra stuff in your weekly shop, please don’t, Nigel. Because you’ve also got to have a wind-up radio, battery-operated torch, photocopies of your ID, cash and a stash of fully charged power banks.

At least with the Covid pandemic, there was a sense that it was egg on the Government’s face for not being ready. Now the buck has passed to the public, so if the worst does happen and cyber attackers hold Waitrose to ransom, it’s on us.

But what I’d really like to ask Andy Burnham is this: in the event of a national emergency, can’t I just eat chocolate and crisps? If the apocalypse is here, cold baked beans is not the final meal I had in mind.

It’s the awards-season dark horse that no one saw coming: a near-three-hour documentary made in secret and first screened as a surprise at the Telluride Film Festival. You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, is one of the weirdest and most groundbreaking films of the year. It follows a disgraced tech founder whose story has already been told on screen twice – yet it has been memed endlessly and become an online obsession.

The film made $15.6 million on just 855 screens during its US opening weekend, the highest documentary debut in more than 20 years and the second biggest ever (not including concert movies, because Taylor Swift makes her own rules). More than 2,000 showings that weekend sold out, with queues around the block. Reviews are almost universally positive and distributor A24 has launched an awards campaign that urges voters to consider it for the Best Picture Oscar – a category in which no documentary has ever been nominated. It feels possible that it could actually win.

In 2023, Fielder and Oppenheim were invited into the home of Elizabeth Holmes, the former CEO of medical-tech company Theranos, for the 34 days before she turned herself in to serve an 11-year sentence for defrauding investors. They were granted near-unfettered observation of Holmes, her partner – hotel heir Billy Evans – and their two young children. Meanwhile, Holmes tried to convince the film-makers of her innocence and plans to launch a new medical-testing company.

You might know Holmes’ name from the feverish media coverage that accompanied her meteoric rise and sudden fall, or from the two previous screen examinations of her life: 2019’s documentary The Inventor: Out For Blood In Silicon Valley and 2022 drama The Dropout, starring Amanda Seyfried. Both chronicled Holmes’ journey, dropping out of Stanford University in 2004, aged 19, to launch Theranos: a small machine that promised to screen for endless diseases from a single pin-prick test. The press, delighted to have a STEM founder who wasn’t another geeky tech bro, compared her to Steve Jobs and listed her among the world’s most influential women.

She raised hundreds of millions of dollars from investors and at one point saw the company valued at over $10 billion. The only problem? The machine never worked as promised – and Holmes was eventually convicted of fraud, alongside her former business and romantic partner Sunny Balwani.

Taking Holmes as their subject makes a strange sort of sense for Oppenheim and Fielder. Fielder made his career with cult, comedy-of-awkwardness shows such as Nathan For You, which saw him playing a business advisor who, among other things, recommended scams to struggling business owners. That seems to be the clip, oddly, that convinced Holmes’ partner that Fielder was the right man for this job.

Oppenheim, meanwhile, has a background in documentary but recently made his feature debut with the Robert Pattinson-led drama Primetime, which examines the ways in which fame, crime and moral judgement can collide in horrifying ways – as they did in Holmes’ case.

What is less clear is what Holmes was thinking letting two film-makers into her home during those last precious days with her children. As Fielder has said, ‘I cannot tell you how weird it was that we were there. I wouldn’t think I’d be the person you would want for your final period. I’m a nice person, I do believe, but I’m not the most comforting… It’s so hard to speculate.’

The film shows how, as Fielder and his team try to understand Holmes, they also start to question the entire endeavour. How far can they trust anything said by a convicted fraudster? If Holmes is capable of launching a unicorn start-up and of attracting former members of the US Cabinet to her board, can they be sure she isn’t scamming them? And what about Evans, who shows controlling tendencies?

These questions haunt Fielder and launch him into the film’s extraordinary second half. We won’t spoil it, except to say that he pushes both Evans and the imprisoned Holmes on certain aspects of their behaviour. New collaborators are brought in to try to examine everything that has gone on.

This turns the film into a test of what documentaries can and can’t do. Holmes and Evans know they’re on camera. Are they performing? Fielder wants the truth from them – but is he getting too close to trust his own impressions? He has since spoken of his efforts to remember Holmes was a convicted liar. ‘She seemed so genuine at times.’

Holmes promises, repeatedly, that ‘you can see everything’ and insists she’s never told a significant lie. But the facts of her fraud conviction seem clear. No wonder Fielder is increasingly confused. ‘Being face to face with her is not what I had expected,’ he has said. ‘It was destabilising. The cognitive dissonance happening in my brain felt similar to watching a magician.’

Even now, he seems uncertain as to which of them was more deluded during their time together. Soon, audiences can decide for themselves.

‘You Can See Everything’ is in cinemas from 20 November.

The World of David Walliams attraction at Alton Towers has been permanently closed, the theme park has announced.

Having opened in 2021, the section of the popular Staffordshire theme park was created as a collaboration with Walliams and HarperCollins Children’s Books. Among the rides in the Walliams-themed area of the park were Raj’s Bouncy Bottom Burp, Flavio’s Fabulous Fandango, and Gangsta Granny: The Ride, inspired by characters in his best-selling books.

So, why has it closed? A statement on the attraction’s website said the theme park regularly looks ‘at elements of our attraction offering,’ revealing The World of David Walliams would be closed permanently from Tuesday 3 November. They encouraged visitors to check the Alton Towers Resort website for latest attraction opening info.

Plans for future use of the area will be announced once they have been confirmed.

The Guardian and ITV News have since released allegations of sexual assault against the former Britain's Got Talent judge. Walliams has been accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl, as well as allegedly using his fame and power to groom other young girls and women. They are claims that Walliams has denied.

Who is David Walliams? What has he done in his career? And what has he said about his love life? Here's what we know.

Who is David Walliams?

David Walliams is an English actor, comedian, writer and television personality.

Back in 2017, Walliams received an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for his services to charity and the arts. His charity work has included swimming the English Channel, River Thames, and Strait of Gibraltar to raise money for Sport Relief.

How old is David Walliams, and what is his real name?

Born on 20 August, 1971, Walliams is currently 55 years old.

Now, Walliams isn’t actually the author’s name. Originally born David Edward Williams, he's reportedly gone by the stage name 'Walliams' since 1990. He made the decision after he joined college Equity, where there was already a member named David Williams.

Where is David Walliams from?

Walliams was born in Wimbledon, London, the son of Peter Williams, a London Transport engineer, and Kathleen Williams, a laboratory technician. Walliams spent his childhood in Banstead, Surrey, where he was raised alongside his sister.

Privately educated Walliams started his school years at Collingwood Boys’ School in Wallington, before attending Reigate Grammar in Surrey. After finishing secondary school, he went on to graduate from the University of Bristol with a BA degree in Drama.

What does David Walliams do? His career explained

Walliams first rose to fame back in the early 2000s, making a name for himself alongside co-star Matt Lucas in the comedy sketch show Little Britain. The pair had first crossed path at the National Youth Theatre, and went on to become a familiar duo.

Little Britain first aired in 2003, featuring the pair as exaggerated characters such as Vicky Pollard and Sebastian Love. While the show officially ended in 2006, a number of seasonal and charity specials followed. In 2005, at the peak of Little Britain’s fame, Walliams and Lucas were named the most powerful people in TV comedy by Radio Times.

In 2010, Walliams once again reunited with Lucas on their show Come Fly With Me. While he and Lucas no longer regularly appear in comedy shows together, they did launch their podcast, Making A Scene, back in February 2025.

Walliams’s other work includes appearances in Big School (2013-2014), which he co-wrote, Partners in Crime (2015), and his own BBC sketch show, _Walliams & Friend_s.

In 2019, Walliams also became the new host for the National Television Awards, taking over Dermot O’Leary’s 10-year presenting stint. He only hosted for one year, before being replaced by Joel Dommett.

From 2012 to 2022, he became a judge on the television talent competition Britain’s Got Talent - even being awarded an NTA award for Best Judge in 2015, 2018 and 2019. So successful was Walliams’s stint on the show that it was announced in 2022 that he would be joining the Australian version.

However, that same year, Walliams left  Britain’s Got Talent following controversy. Disparaging comments made by Walliams to contestants were published in The Guardian. He was replaced by former Strictly judge Bruno Tonioli.

What books has David Walliams written?

In 2008, HarperCollins published Walliams’s first children’s book, The Boy In The Dress. Illustrated by Quentin Blake, the story recounts a 12-year-old boy called Dennis and challenges gender stereotypes.

Walliams went on to become one of the UK’s most successful children’s authors, having sold over 60 million copies worldwide in 55 languages. Some of his work includes the award-winning Mr Stink, Billionaire Boy, Gangsta Granny, Ratburger, and Grandpa’s Great Escape.

Walliams’ most recent children’s book came in April 2023. Titled Robodog, the novel saw the newest recruit at the police dog school set out to save his city from criminals.

So successful were Walliams’s literary offerings that several of his books, including Gangsta Granny and Billionaire Boy, have been adapted into films. In 2018, it was reported that Walliams’s books constituted 44% of all sales of HarperCollins children’s titles, generating a revenue of £100 million by 2019.

In September, the book publisher announced that they had dropped Walliams last year. They said they would no longer publish the TV star, and would be phasing out the remaining copies of his books.

Is David Walliams single?

As it stands, it appears David Walliams does not have a girlfriend and is single. The TV personality was previously married to model Lara Stone. The couple - who share a son Alfred, 11 - married in 2010, before splitting in 2015.

What has David Walliams said about his sexuality?

Walliams has been candid in interviews about his sexuality. During an interview with the Radio Times in 2013, Walliams shared, ‘I think it’s all about falling in love with the person and that is overlooked, really. I hate it when people "confess" or "reveal" their sexuality, and also things can change for people over the years. So it is about the person, but I also think it goes beyond that. You don't just fall in love with someone's body, do you? You fall in love with someone's soul and heart and brain."

Opening up in 2024, Walliams revealed while on the Uncomfortable Conversations podcast that he would identify as ‘non-binary’ if he were younger now.

What has David Walliams said about his mental health?

In the past, Walliams has revealed that he struggled with depression growing up. During an interview with The Times in 2024, the TV personality revealed that he had once attempted suicide when he was a teenager. Staying the attempt ‘broke [his mother’s] heart,’ Walliams added, ‘I’d known something was wrong from an early age. A feeling of unbearable loneliness I could never escape.’

What is David Walliams' net worth?

Through his success as a TV personality and an author, it's estimated online that Walliams is worth around £17 million to £20 million.

Nicole Kidman is having her well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Fresh off the press circuit for Practical Magic 2, the actress has been papped the world over, her long, caramel blonde hair immaculate, lashes fluttering and skin aglow. Her marriage to Keith Urban may have ended not so long ago, but Kidman’s resurgence as Hollywood’s current ‘It girl’ is going from strength to strength - take ADÉLA’s hit track Nicole Kidman as proof.

Her beauty credentials are impressive. Kidman has worked with some of the best in the business, most recently becoming an ambassador for Clé de Peau Beauté. It’s a fitting partnership, given that the internet simply can’t get enough of her beautiful complexion - at 59, the actress appears brighter, plumper and more luminous than ever. While we're sure some gold-standard skincare and buzzy tweakments are no doubt at her disposal, a clever make-up routine is equally as important.

And nowhere was this more evident than at the LACMA Art + Film Gala, where her look was created by make-up artist to the stars Gucci Westman who counts both Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz as clients. The brief? ‘A luminous, museum-worthy aesthetic that complemented the celebratory atmosphere with effortless radiance’. And radiance, it would seem, was very much the MO of the evening.

The result was a complexion that looked perfected without appearing OTT. Skin was subtly sculpted and smooth with an ethereal glow - full and glamorous, but soft and elegant all at once.

The inspiration, according to Westman, started with the dress.

‘Nicole’s dress for the LACMA Gala was inspired by Degas, and the beautiful colour palette inspired my make-up choices. I wanted to focus on the skin, and the delicate tulle skirting made me think of roses. This informed the cheek colour and natural, rosy mouth.’

A beautiful complexion was the focus here.

‘For this look, I really wanted to focus on the skin and creating a gorgeous complexion. I accomplished this using Clé de Peau Beauté foundation.’

And it’s the foundation that deserves a moment of its own in the spotlight. With its soft, velvety formula, the finish is matte but, crucially, never flat. It offers featherlight coverage that can be built up into a beautifully natural-looking base - think that elusive your-skin-but-better effect. Clever optical technology also creates a subtle veil of light across the matte finish, helping to soften the appearance of fine lines and give cheeks a fuller, plumper look. The result? Skin that looks smooth, fresh and beautifully radiant - without caking in fine lines or wrinkles.

Skin like Nicole’s? Don’t mind if we do.

Jemima Goldsmith, who once dated Russell Brand in the 2010s, has spoken out about her relationship with the now-convicted rapist - daying she personally had experienced Brand's 'violence, coercive control, and abuse.'

The former comedian-turned-faith podcaster, 51, was sentenced on Monday to a decade in prison after being convicted on one count of rape and two of sexual assault. It came following a months-long trial, which saw Brand's wife Laura Gallacher take to the stand tooffer support for her husband.

Now, Jemima Goldsmith - who dated Russell in 2014 for a year - had taken to social media to share her own experience with the former TV personality.

The British journalist and screenwriter wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that she had had her 'own personal experience of [Brand's] violence, coercive control and abuse. I had to call the police to have him removed from my house in 2014 during a violent incident. I chose not to press charges at the time and not to go public with this, as I was worried about the impact of the press attention on my then teenage children.'

Goldsmith - who was once married to the former Prime Minister of Pakistan - continued by adding that she had not 'seen nor spoken' to the now disgraced comedian since 2014. 'While my pain in relation to this pales in comparison to what the women have testified in court have suffered, this was a difficult period in my life which has had a lasting impact,' she continued, adding that she was 'in awe of the courageous women who came forward.'

Goldsmith also claimed to have assisted the journalists who exposed the allegations against Brand, and was willing to testify to his 'abusiveness' were they sued.

In her statement, Goldsmith also addressed the reports regarding an injection taken out by her and Brand in October 2015 that banned a woman, Szilvia Berki, from making any allegations of assault against Brand. Masseuse Berki had alleged that Brand had assaulted her when she attended Goldsmith's house to give the comedian a massage - something Goldsmith denies ever happened.

Saying that recent reporting on the injunction had opened her up to 'vile hatred and abuse online,' Goldsmith wrote that Berki had visited her house for roughly half an hour in June 2014 to give Brand a massage, which she said did not end up taking place. Goldsmith alleged that Berki later told Police that Brand has pushed her in the back and that she had been attacked by Goldsmith's dog. After reviewing statements and CCTV, the police concluded that there was no case to answer.

According to Goldsmith, Berki then began sending a series of 'vicious antisemitic and threatening' messages, as well as posting 'wild and untrue allegations' about her on social media. It was at this point that Goldsmith agreed to a suggestion from Brand's lawyer about taking out an injunction to prevent further harassment.

Among those who shared their support for Goldsmith amid her statement this week was Sunday Times chief reporter Rosamund Urwin, who was involved in the media investigation into Brand back in 2023. Telling the BBC that Goldsmith had helped her 'a lot' during the investigation, Urwin shared, 'I have seen the abuse that she's been getting online and I did try to tell people that part of the story was much more complicated than they realize.'

She continued, 'I wish people would remember that women who come forward are brave people and that is what she had done - she has spoken out with immense bravery about how Russell Brand treated her.'

Who is Jemima Goldsmith? What does she do? And who was she formerly married to? Here's what you need to know.

How old is Jemima Goldsmith?

Born on 30 January, 1974, Jemima Marcelle Goldsmith (previously known as Jemima Khan) is currently 52 years old. For anyone partial to a star sign, this also makes her an independent and humanitarian Aquarius.

Where is Jemima Goldsmith from, and who are her family?

Jemima was born and raised in London, England. She is the daughter of the late billionaire financier, Sir James Goldsmith, and Lady Annabel Goldsmith. Jemima is the oldest of three children, and has two younger brothers - former Conservative government minister Zac Goldsmith and environmentalist and author Ben Goldsmith. She also had five half-siblings, including businessman Robin Birley and artist India Jane Birley.

Jemima's mother is from an Anglo-Irish background, while her father's family were of German-Jewish descent.

Jemima and her brothers were raised in London, growing up in the Grade II listed Ormeley Lodge, near Richmond Park. The house was owned by Jemima's mother, Lady Annabel, until her death last October.

After attending The Old Vicarage prep school and Francis Holland Girls School, Jemima went on to study English at the University of Bristol. She later dropped out in 1995 to marry cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, before eventually completing her degree in 2002. She then went on to gain a masters degree in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of London.

What does Jemima Goldsmith do? Her career explained

Jemima is the founder of the television company Instinct Productions, and has worked as executive producer on Emmy-nominated shows including The Clinton Affair and The Case Against Adnan Syed, as well as co-writing and producing the rom-com What's Love Got To Do With It?

Having been close friends with the late Princess of Diana, Jemima was a contributor on the fifth season of historical drama The Crown, which detailed the final years of the Princess of Wales. She later requested for her contributions to be removed, saying she felt the 'storyline would not necessarily be told as respectfully or compassionately' as she had hoped.

Aside from her TV company, Jemima has also previously worked as a journalist. She was associate editor for The New Statesman, European editor-at-large for Vanity Fair, and has contributed to several outlets over the years.

She's also a keen philanthropist, having undertaken several charity ventures over the years - including being a UNICEF ambassador for over 15 years.

Speaking in a 2012 interview, the millionaire-heiress shared that her privileged upbringing was in part what prompted her charitable streak. She told The Standard, 'Do I have the guilty of the over-privileged? I'd have to say yes. And is it the reason I do charity work? Again, I'd have to say yes, in part.'

Is Jemima Goldsmith single?

Jemima is currently married, having tied the knot with Cameron O'Reilly in 2026. Cameron is a Dublin-born businessman, and the son of former media and industrial magnate Tony O'Reilly.

Of course, Cameron isn't Jemima's first marriage (nor her first high-profile romance.

Who has Jemima Goldsmith dated before?

Imran Khan: 1995 - 2004

In 1995, a 21-year-old Jemima married former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan, who as 43 at the time. A few months before their wedding, Jemima converted to Islam, with the married couple later recreating to his hometown in Lahore, Pakistan. While there, Jemima began learning Urdu, and started wearing traditional Pakistani clothing. In an article for The times in 2008, she recalled that she 'over-confirmed in [her] eagerness to be accepted' into the 'new and radically different culture' of Pakistan.

At the time, Khan was beginning his political career. Jemima's Jewish heritage was often used by Khan's political opponents to question his credibility in Pakistani politics.

In 1999, Jemima was charged in Pakistan with illegally exporting Islamic era antique tiles. At the time, she said the charge was a fabrication to harass and damage her husband's reputation. Nevertheless, she returned to London to live with her mother for fear of incarceration. It was later verified that the tiles were not antiques and the court dropped all charges against Jemima - allowing her to return to Lahore.

In 2004, Jemima announced that she was splitting from Khan. A statement said the pair were ending their nine-year marriage because it was 'difficult for Jemima to adapt to the political life of Imran Khan in Pakistan.'

Following her divorce, Jemima returned to live in London with her and Khan's two sons. Khan went on to become Prime Minister of Pakistan in 2018.

Since 2023, Khan has been imprisoned on charges of corruption in Pakistan. Jemima has long spoken out in support of him, calling on British government officials to help. Tweeting both Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, one tweet on X read, 'How much longer will Britain remain silent? For three years, there father of my two sons, and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan, has been brutally penalized by his political opponents in a personal vendetta […] which according to the UN, amounts to torture and which is now taking a potentially fatal toll on this physical and mental health.’

Hugh Grant: 2006

Not long after relocating to London, Jemima struck up a relationship with British actor Hugh Grant. Their relationship was heavily scrutinized in the media, and by February 2007, the couple had separated. Grant announced that the pair had 'decided to split amicably,' with a representative for the Bridget Jones actor saying he had 'nothing but positive things to say about Jemima.'

Russell Brand: 2013

In 2013, Jemima began dating comedian Russell Brand. The pair were together for a year before splitting.

Was Jemima Goldsmith on board a hijacked plane?

On 29 December 2000, Jemima and her family - including her mother, Lady Annabel Goldsmith - were on a British Airways flight to Kenya when a situation unfolded mid air. The plane was temporarily knocked off course and dived thousands of feet after an unwell passenger tried to seize control in the cockpit. The passenger was caught, and the plane was able to safely land.

Jemima has since opened up about the lasting impact of the situation, admitting earlier this year that she stills suffers from anxiety when flying. Thanking members of staff who comforted her during turbulence on a recent flight, she shared on X, 'I had a very bad flying experience in the past when our BA flight was hijacked in an attempted suicide crash - and I still sometimes lose my nerve when it gets bumpy.'

What is Jemima Goldsmith's net worth?

In 2002, Jemima was listed at number 18 on the Evening Standard's young millionaires list, said to be worth £20 million. As it stands, her net worth is estimated to be around $100 million, although no official figures have been confirmed.

As the brains behind the controversial comedy sketch show Little Britain, David Walliams and Matt Lucas became household names as a double act.

Lucas and Walliams first met in 1990 at the National Youth Theatre and bonded over being the 'funny ones' in their respective groups. They did not join forces immediately, however, first working together in a production of The Tempest in 1991 before collaborating on the comedy circuit in the mid-1990s.

In 2000, they launched Little Britain as a radio show, which was later developed into a TV show between 2003 and 2006. Lucas and Walliams wrote and performed all the sketches, which involved exaggerated parodies of the British public.

Although the show was popular at the time, it has since been widely criticised for its offensive tropes and particularly the problematic ways it depicted racial and ethnic minority groups. In June 2020, the show was pulled from various UK streaming services due to its use of blackface. It was later added back onto BBC iPlayer in March 2022, with some of the more controversial characters cut.

Why did David Walliams and Matt Lucas fall out?

Despite working closely together for many years, Walliams and Lucas's friendship began to unravel during the Little Britain Live tour in 2005 and their tour of Australia in 2007.

The duo reportedly clashed after intense, petting backstage arguments (including over what chocolate to ask for), their different personalities and their demanding working relationship.

By 2011, they ended their professional partnership and went their separate ways. The following year, Lucas released his autobiography, Little Me, and Walliams released his, Camp David, in which they jabbed at each other and offered their respective sides of the story.

Lucas wrote, 'Walliams has now sold so many children's books he can probably buy his own private jet, all decked out in pink, with a river inside it for him to swim up', poking fun at Walliams' numerous high-profile charity swims.

Meanwhile, Walliams noted that he and Lucas were 'very different people and probably want different things' in his memoir and said their relationship was 'over for the time being'.

Are Matt Lucas and David Walliams friends again?

The stalemate came to an end in 2018 when their mutual friend Dale Winton died. The former best friends are thought to have reconnected at the funeral. By April 2019, they publicly reunited at a fancy dress party and later that year collaborated on a Little Britain spin-off, Little Brexit.

In 2020, Lucas told The Sun: 'What I can say is that David and I are the very best of friends and we speak or exchange messages every single day. Often it'll be pictures or videos we've found online, that sort of thing, and we just make each other laugh all the time.' He even suggested the pair had plans to revivde Little Britain 'as soon as we can'.

Last February, Walliams and the former Bake Off host launched Making a Scene, a twice weekly podcast where they interview friends in comedy and turn their lives into cinematic events. The duo also revealed that they are developing ideas with Netflix and have been working on a stage show together.

Of course, all that stands to change now that the former Britain's Got Talent judge has been identified as the celebrity who attempted to block ITV News and the Guardian from publishing allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

The comedian and author was accused of allegedly grooming fans as young as 15 and of harassing women in the workplace throughout his illustrious career. Walliams has denied all allegations but acknowledged 'at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with'. The story is still developing.

Walliams has been dropped by his publisher HarperCollins, his literary agents, Independent Talent Group, and suspended as a member of the Labour Party. The BBC is removing Little Britain from its platforms 'whilst this review is underway'. His attraction at Alton Towers has also permanently closed.

'I am not a sexual predator,' Walliams said in a statement. 'I have not broken the law, but I am devastated that some of the women I met 10 to 20 years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me.'

My group chat has a running list of my best-dressed moments, which is perhaps testament to the fact that a really good outfit is rarely forgotten. And when’s the best time to get dressed in your most memorable and gloriously extravagant outfits? Party season. From the office Christmas party and Friendmas gatherings to festive dinners and end-of-year celebrations, the next few weeks call for a rather well-considered partywear wardrobe.

The trick is finding pieces that are occasion-worthy without being the kind of item that’s never worn again come January. This season, velvet, metallics and feather trims are three details which err on the side of drama, while embellished blouses and lace tops err on the side of caution. Boden’s latest collection brings all these elements together, with statement dresses, tops and fun coats that work across the festive calendar.

Plus, unlike so many partywear collections which often revolve around lots of suiting rather than textual finishes, Boden’s collection, inspired by A Very British Christmas, takes a more characterful approach to the festivities.

If you were to ask me for a couple of highlights, I’d without a doubt have to say that the Tie Neck Metallic Dress is worth adding to your basket first. The midi dress has all the hallmarks of a sell-out, with a subtle sparkle, a detachable tie neck scarf and long sleeves that’ll keep you warm enough to travel from venue to venue without having to take a coat. However, if you’re someone who prefers your dresses to be a little more refined, the Bardot Velvet Maxi Dress is an excellent example of a minimalist design that requires little to no styling, just a dash of colour in your shoes.

If you feel at your most confident in something tailored, the chartreuse Woodbridge Velvet Blazer and matching Fitzrovia Velvet Trousers are a great excuse to inject an unexpected pop of colour into your partywear wardrobe. Alternatively, if full-blown occasionwear isn’t quite your style, the Ria Embellished Knit Jumper offers a more understated take on festive dressing, with its bow embellishments that bring just enough detail to make it feel special (and festive!).

So, whether you’re after something to make a statement on a night out or something to host in, I’ve rounded up the pieces from Boden’s partywear collection that are worth clearing your wardrobe for – and bonus points if someone asks where your outfit is from while at said night out.

When the first teaser for HBO's legal drama War starring Sienna Miller landed on our screens yesterday, I knew two things were certain. One, it's going to be incredibly gripping, and two, there'll be endless sartorial inspiration to be found. The drama starring Miller and Dominic West just released on Sky TV in the UK, and follows an actress and tech entrepreneur going through a very messy, high-stakes divorce. While the drama itself sounds promising, a glimpse into Miller's on-screen wardrobe offers a range of excellent outfits. Perfect if, like us, your style moodboard has been feeling a Sienna Miller-shaped absence lately.

The eight-part series focuses on a headline-grabbing divorce case between Carla Duval (Miller) and Morgan Henderson (West), fought by their respective legal teams, Taylor & Byrne and Cathcarts & Sons. The result? An explosive drama packed with twists, betrayal, and scandals aplenty. As a polished international film star going through a public divorce, Miller's Duval delivers an array of sleek and sophisticated looks throughout the show.

As you'd expect in a courtroom setting, there's a lot of tailoring to be found, with Miller often dressed in impeccable blazers, button-downs and even a few ties. For off-duty looks, Miller's off-screen wardrobe has seemingly influenced her character's, with double denim and knitted dresses sighted. There are also a few glamorous options sprinkled in, like a red carpet-worthy satin dress or the fur coat we spotted in the teaser. Polished and elegant, Miller's outfits are also ideal as we head into autumn/winter.

If you're looking to channel Miller's iconic style, you'll be pleased to know that we've found the exact pieces you'll need to recreate her outfits. Whether you're shopping for an easy denim shirt or looking to snag her satin dress for special occasions, keep scrolling to shop Sienna Miller's best outfits from HBO's War now.

Some people love the festive season. Others are less convinced. For every person who has their Christmas shopping wrapped up by November and thinks of this time of year as the highlight of the social calendar, there’s someone else dreading the annual festive quiz. Love it or loathe it, there’s one thing the festive season is guaranteed to bring: a calendar full of occasions to get dressed for.

From the office Christmas party to a black-tie gala, family gatherings to the night out that’s been in the diary since August, the weeks leading up to Christmas offer plenty of reasons to make getting ready part of the occasion. And each one of the celebrations might call for a different outfit - whether that’s elegant eveningwear, beautifully tailored separates or a piece with glossy shimmer or iridescent sparkles.

The key to getting eveningwear right is to find pieces that empower you to be at your most confident during the festive season. Reiss’s latest partywear collection puts the focus on luxurious fabrics, unique detailing and silhouettes with a sense of occasion – there are rich velvets, lustrous satins, cosy faux furs and a dash of intricate lace.

For evenings that call for tailoring, opt for the Wren Velvet Single-Breasted Suit Blazer with the matching pair of Flared Tuxedo Trousers – add a gold bag and a pair of statement earrings and you’re good to go. Got a black-tie event in your December calendar? There’s the Veronica Lace-Trim Maxi Slip Dress, which can also easily double up as a skirt by layering a white T-shirt over the top. Alternatively, for an outfit that’s more paired-back, there’s the classic white shirt in the Glenn Silk Crepe Tie-Front Shirt.

While your festive calendar might be filling up faster than expected, getting ready for said events is the fun part. And, thanks to Reiss’s edit of elegant partywear, even if you haven’t given your outfits much thought just yet, your wardrobe is in excellent hands.

Nine months after being exiled to Norfolk, speculation has surfaced that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has hopped back into the world of dating - rumored to be dating ‘Turnip Toff’ Aliba Bellingham.

The rumours began late Saturday, when an unidentified woman was spotted visiting Prince Andrew’s Marsh Farm house on the Sandringham estate. It sparked reports that the former Duke of York - who was stripped of his royal titles in October 2025 over long-standing associations with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein - was in a new relationship, over 30 years after splitting from Sarah Ferguson. The Mail on Sunday later identified this woman as Aliba Bellingham, a member of the so-called ‘Turnip Toff’ social circle and the sister of former Conservative MP Lord Henry Bellingham.

Since rumors surfaced, Aliba has broken her silence on her rumored connection with Andrew. Who Is Aliba? Who are her well connected family? And is she really dating Andrew? Here’s what we know.

Who is Aliba Bellingham?

Aliba Bellingham, who is in her 60s, is a member of Norfolk’s gentry (a group often nicknamed the 'Turnip Toffs'.) She is a keen horse rider and hunting enthusiast, and is said to split her time between London and Norfolk, remaining close to her horses.

Like Andrew, Aliba is also reportedly divorced. She’s said to have split from her husband, businessman Sir Richard Rowley.

Who is Aliba Bellingham’s family?

Aliba is the daughter of Henry Bellingham and his wife, Emma Whiteley, who were both affluent figures in Norfolk. Her brother is also Lord Henry Bellingham, a former Conservative MP who was later made a life peer.

How does Aliba Bellingham know Prince Andrew?

Aliba has long had a connection to the royal family and their upper class circle. Her godmother is reportedly Frances Shand Kydd, who is the mother of the late Princess Diana.

The Bellingham family estate is also situated close to Sandringham, with Aliba and her brother reportedly growing up playing regularly with Andrew, as well as Prince Edward, 62, and Princess Anne, 76. Lord Henry said of his sister’s bond with Andrew, ‘Andrew was a friend of my family during our childhood days. So in a way, my sister has known him all of our life.’

Is Aliba Bellingham dating Andrew Mountbatten Windsor?

As rumours of her and Andrew’s romance rose, Aliba spoke to The Mail on Sunday to set the claims straight.

Saying there was ‘no question of me being a girlfriend,’ she explained, ‘We’re just acquaintances. I think the rumors began when an American journalist got to hear I’d been to tea with him and then made two plus two equal five.’

Opening up about her friendship with Andrew, Aliba added, ‘We hang out from time to time and talk about horses and dogs – that’s what we have in common. We get on well. He loves horses.’

Aliba also told the outlet that Andrew was settling into his new Norfolk life well.

In February of this year, Andrew relocated to Norfolk and settled into the Sandringham farmhouse just months after he was formally stripped of his royal titles by his brother, King Charles. His move came after the former Duke was forced to give up his lease on the Royal Lodge, the 30-room Windsor mansion he and his ex-wife Fergie had called their home for over two decades.

Back in February, on his 66th birthday, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, following allegations that he had shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time working as the UK’s trade envoy. He was released under police investigation and has denied any wrongdoing.

In October 2026, Police Scotland also announced they were making ‘active inquiries’ over the time Andrew spent with both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the King’s Balmoral Castle, having been reported guests. It came amid allegations that women had been trafficked to the royal estate. Detectives said they had received 'information,' saying a probe is at a 'very early stage.'

It’s said the ‘Turnip Toffs’ have become key in helping Andrew settle into his new Sandringham home, nine months on from his eviction from Royal Lodge. Reports have said many have begun welcoming Andrew back into their social circle, with one source quoted as suggesting that the ostracism of Andrew had ‘gone too far.’

When asked by The Mail on Sunday about Andrew’s past, Aliba shared, ‘I’m not the sort of person to dwell on things in another person’s past. I think Andrew has found Norfolk to be a very welcoming area and that he’ll enjoy living here.’

There is a very particular type of woman who comes alive in October. She's got her suede jacket on, has already dug out her knee-high boots, is drinking something with cinnamon in it and has probably changed her nails to burgundy. I know her well, and so does Pinterest. But even I can admit that autumn dressing has become locked in a crisis of repetition. Brown, burgundy, camel, perhaps a little khaki if we're feeling adventurous (nothing wrong with this, BTW).

Which is why I'm rather enjoying the fact that fashion seems to have other plans this season. Autumn/winter ‘26 is making room for some sort of colour. We're talking emerald greens, sapphire blues, ruby reds and purples that look fit for a royal jewellery box.

Look at the runways and you'll see designers having a proper play with colour. Not the random accessory thrown in to appease us, but entire blocks of bright shades and fabric draped in generous swathes of colour. Red has been very hard to let go of, while greens and blues are being worn with the sort of confidence usually reserved for a woman who has never once worried about being overdressed, and Givenchy's autumn/winter'26 show did it best.

What's interesting is that we've been here for a while; colour has been soft launching itself into our wardrobes throughout the year. First came the red trainers, then the colour cinching, the occasional purple knit and those little pops of colour that made their way into otherwise very sensible outfits.

And if you need proof that wearing colour doesn't have to mean looking like you've lost a bet, take a look at the literal royals, who have been doing jewel tones long before the rest of us caught on. The Princess of Wales has long been partial to a seriously good block of colour, whether that's an emerald coat, a blue suit or a head-to-toe look in a colour that would make most of us reach for black instead. Meghan Marklerecently made a case for burgundy in British brands on her first public appearance in the UK. The late Queen Elizabeth II was another master of statement shades.

For anyone wondering where to start, jewel tones are essentially the gemstone shades: emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue and amethyst purple are the big four. There's also garnet, citrine and deep teal for those who want to venture a little further.

I know, I know, wearing two loud colours together can feel like a lot when your wardrobe has been living off grey and cream. But this is where colour blocking comes into its own. Try sapphire with ruby, emerald with amethyst or  the infamous punchy red against a deep purple. You don't need a complicated outfit; the colours are the outfit, a great coat, a pair of tailored trousers or a simple jumper will do.

Colour cinching is a styling trick worth stealing here. Rather than reaching for the trusty black belt, put on a blue cummerbund over a white shirt. It's a small detail, but it stops colour from feeling like something random.

If you're still recovering from the idea of wearing emerald trousers, start with a little red. It's probably the easiest jewel tone to introduce, particularly if you've already got a wardrobe full of denim, grey and brown. A ruby knit, a red handbag or a pair of pointed shoes will do the job. Consider it the gateway drug to a more colourful wardrobe.

Purple also deserves more than the occasional bridesmaid appearance. This season, try out a draped purple dress, a fluid satin skirt or a shirt worn with dark denim. Purple looks surprisingly lovely against brown, too, if you're not quite ready to give up your autumn staples.

The moral of the story? You can keep your black boots and your camel coat. Nobody is asking you to break up with them, but perhaps this autumn, let them have a more interesting companion.

There was no way someone as business savvy as Maya Jama would step down from one of the biggest presenting roles on TV – hosting Love Island – without a plan.

Lo and behold, a day after Maya announced that she will be passing the Love Island baton on to someone else, it's been revealed that she has signed a multi-project global deal with Netflix.

'I've always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new,' she wrote on Instagram. Maya has already presented on MTV, had her own BBC radio show, hosted Love Island, been a panellist on The Masked Singer, starred in The Celebrity Traitors and acted in The Gentleman. So, what does the new deal entail? Here's what we know...

What does Maya Jama's Netflix deal involve?

Maya made her acting debut in season two of the hit Netflix series The Gentleman, starring Theo James, earlier this year. She plays Aisha, a business acquaintance of Susie (Kaya Scodelario), and will be reprising her role in season three.

She also recently starred as a Traitor in the record-breaking second season of The Celebrity Traitors on BBC One, stretching her well-proven credentials as a TV personality.

As for the projects Maya has in the pipeline at Netflix, they are being kept under wraps for now, but it's clear that the streamer has full faith in her star power. 'Maya is fabulous,' said Anne Mensah, Netflix's vice president of UK content. 'She has an infectious energy and an ability to captivate audiences. We adored working with her on The Gentleman and we're absolutely delighted for her to be an even bigger part of the Netflix family.'

What has Maya Jama said about her new role at Netflix?

'I'm absolutely buzzing to be working with Netflix!' she told Variety. 'There are some really exciting things coming and I can't wait for everyone to see what we've been working on. I can't give too much away just yet, but I'm so excited for this next chapter. Watch this space!'

Why did Maya Jama leave Love Island?

Now that Maya has signed the dotted line with Netflix, it's possible that working with ITV would present a conflict of interests. She also hosted nine seasons over the course of three years and seems ready for something new.

'What an incredible era and what an unforgettable time I've had, it's been far too much fun to put into words or a video,' she wrote, 'but as all good things must come to an end, it's my time to step down as the host of my beloved Love Island.'

'I started hosting the show aged 28 and during the nine incredible series met the most wonderful humans along the way,' she continued. 'I've loved every slow-mo walk, fire pit and live show. I'll forever be grateful for the experience.'

If ever in the pursuit of perfectly polished hair, you can always rely on Kate Middleton to serve up a healthy dose of inspiration. Her signature side-swept, bouncy golden bronde waves have long been pinned to mood boards the world over, and while the look is a permanent fixture in her hair rotation, the Princess of Wales has never been one to shy away from switching up her style. Stepping out for the National Service of Remembrance at London’s Cenotaph on Sunday morning, Middleton did just that.

Dressed in a sharp tailored Catherine Walker coat and an asymmetric wide-brimmed hat by Jane Taylor, the Princess completed the ensemble with a beauty look that bore all the hallmarks of her regular go-tos, read: soft smokey neutral toned eyes, subtly defined cheeks, and rosy lips. But her hair painted another picture.

Peering out from beneath her chapeau was a low side bun, knotted and woven to perfection. While large and voluminous, it sat balanced against the wide brim of her hat. Hairstylist Frankie Pullen from Larry King Hair describes it as 'the modern romantic chignon'.

'What makes it so beautiful is the balance between classic sophistication and contemporary styling. The hair is incredibly sleek and polished at the front, while the chignon itself has beautiful texture, movement and intricate detailing. Wearing the bun slightly to one side adds another dimension to the look, giving it a graceful, sophisticated finish. It’s a beautiful example of traditional royal elegance with a modern twist,' she notes.

Of course, this is not Middleton's first brush with a bun. Her penchant for updos has seen her don a number of noteworthy looks that showcase her flair for subtly experimental styles, which still manage to neatly fall in line with royal dress codes. In fact, last year while attending the Armistice Day Service of Remembrance, the Princess sported another side bun, this time complexly knotted, braided and padded out with a series of twists and swirls.

Her recent look, though, feels novel. 'What really modernises this particular style is the contrast between the super-sleek finish of the initial ponytail and the softer, more intricate movement through the chignon,' says Pullen. 'Traditionally, royal updos have been very structured and symmetrical, whereas this feels slightly more contemporary. The individual twisted sections create beautiful dimension and texture, while positioning the bun slightly to one side adds an unexpected detail. It’s a really clever way of making a classic hairstyle feel fresh without losing any of its sophistication.'

Middleton's newest style certainly adds to her growing repertoire of side buns and chignons for high-profile occasions and it's in keeping with 2026 hair trends. Hairstylist Andreas Wild at Larry King Hair says it marks a real return to the artistry of hairdressing, as opposed to the recent run of overtly undone styles that look as though they've been artfully thrown together.

While Sienna Miller's penchant for the boho bun and Daisy Edgar Jones' 'Dashwood dishevel' have made a case for next-level effortlessness, Middleton's style nods to the trend while keeping above board with royal protocols. 'We’re seeing a real return to romantic, effortless updos, and Kate’s chignon fits beautifully into this movement,' says Pullen. 'There’s a definite shift towards hairstyles that combine beautiful texture with a more relaxed, feminine finish, but Kate’s interpretation takes this trend and gives it a much more polished, regal feel.'

'Women are increasingly moving away from overly rigid, perfectly sculpted hairstyles and embracing looks that have more movement and personality. It’s about creating something that feels effortlessly elegant rather than overly styled,' notes Pullen. 'This is the new generation of occasion hair: polished, romantic and beautifully undone.'

To recreate the look start by pulling the hair into a tight, sleek ponytail before dividing the ponytail into three or four sections. Each section should then be individually twisted and pinned into place, creating a beautiful chignon with plenty of texture and movement. There you have it, a hair 'do fit for royalty.

To recreate the look, start by prepping the hair with this to create body, control and a smooth foundation before blow drying. Then, pull the hair back into a sleek ponytail, ensuring the front and sides are beautifully smooth and glossy.

Larry King Hair Ride or Die Texture Spray

Once secured, divide the ponytail into three or four sections, applying a little spritz of this to give each section grip and definition before twisting and pinning them individually into place. The key is to create a beautiful contrast between the sleekness at the front and the intricate texture of the chignon itself.

To finish, smooth any unwanted flyaways with this and give the hair that beautiful, healthy-looking shine Middleton is so well known for. The result is a sophisticated, modern chignon that feels timeless but still very relevant to the romantic hair trends we’re seeing today.

I'm currently in a state of something I'm going to refer to as 'knitwear overwhelm' - and what I mean by that is that there are just too many jumpers on my wishlist. At this time of year, when temperatures are dropping and getting dressed becomes a question of how many layers can reasonably be accommodated, knitwear is high on the shopping agenda. Cashmere, quarter-zips, fleeces, chunky knits, fine-gauge crew necks - whatever the shape or fabric, a good jumper is always an excellent investment. But what if it's all starting to look the same? The task this winter, then, is finding one that looks different from everything else already hanging in your wardrobe.

Rise & Fall's knitwear selection is one that won't disappoint if you're on the hunt for quality fabrics and well-cut designs without the price tag typically attached to higher-end cashmere and merino wool pieces. It's the Merino Wool Loop Knit Funnel Neck Jumper that's most recently put an end to the 'knitwear overwhelm' (I haven't worn much else since), thanks to its quarter-zip neckline, structured funnel neck and ribbed trims.

As for styling the Rise & Fall knit in question, wear it to the office with a pair of wide-leg trousers, a statement belt (I'd opt for a Dehanché style any day of the week) and loafers. Alternatively, if your weekend plans tend to involve a coffee run and a walk around the local park, style the Rise & Fall knit with straight-leg jeans, a white T-shirt and a pair of colourful trainers.

There's something to be said for investing in knitwear that you genuinely want to wear on repeat, rather than adding yet another jumper to an (already overfilled) wishlist. Rise & Fall offers a reason to be selective, with its Loop Knit Funnel Neck Jumper taking pride of place in plenty of fashion editors' wardrobes (and soon-to-be yours). So, the wishlist might forever be a work in progress, but at least the knitwear overwhelm has subsided - for now.

Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear). For a glimpse into said travels, outfit inspo and life as a journalist, follow her on Instagram.

The question on every millennial's lips is, 'Did M&S get really good at designing clothes, or did I just get older?' And the truth of the matter is, it's kind of both. M&S has always been a home for brilliant British design and quality, but recently it has upped its game. But also yes, you're ageing, and the fabric composition of clothing matters to you now, and that's ok too.

Somewhere between M&S's Carolyn Besette-Kennedy-inspired edit and the Ibiza show, Grazia HQ, and all the fashion editors, content creators and generally well-dressed women we follow, fell head over heels for the great British behemoth's styles. We always keep a keen eye on M&S' new in section, but now that the weather's turned, we're monitoring the brand's knitwear and outerwear, too. Yes, after our seemingly never-ending summer, it's time to pile on the layers and top off your ensembles with an outfit-making jacket or coat.

As ever, M&S is nailing the key seasonal trends with its offerings, giving buyers those designer-level looks at a much more realistic price. Recent runways have seen faux-fur trims, bomber silhouettes, capes and animal prints abound, and that's exactly what we're seeing at M&S too. If you're overwhelmed by choice, we've done the legwork for you - here are the eight most stylish jackets and coats available to shop at M&S right now. Oh, and lots of them are currently 20% off.

It's October. Which means it's time for cosy autumn wardrobes, spooky Halloween parties, pre-emptive Christmas shopping, and, of course, spending hours watching, dissecting, and talking about The Celebrity Traitors. While this season has us hooked with Claudia Winkleman's stunning Brora coat and Richard E. Grant's early ‘I’m a Traitor’ faux pas, we're also quite excited for the other traitor, Maya Jama's wardrobe.

If you, like us, are a fan of reality TV, you're likely used to seeing Maya Jama in her stunning swimwear and glamorous dresses on Love Island. Which is why she's usually pinned to our summer moodboards. But for her turn on The Celebrity Traitors this season, it seems that Jama is taking notes from host Winkleman's autumnal style. And if the first episode is any indication, there's a lot of outfit inspiration to be found.

From her baggy shell coat and oversized fur jacket to the pared-back tan blazer and white tee over jeans, it's clear that Jama's Traitor style is set to be a healthy mix of high-fashion drama and everyday elegance. Naturally well-suited for a castle in the Scottish Highlands, so far, her outfits also seem ideal for battling the elements on a city commute.

So whether you're looking to introduce some high-octane pieces in your autumn wardrobe or just looking for styling inspo, keep an eye on this page as we track down the exact outfits Maya Jama wears on The Celebrity Traitors, plus affordable alternatives on the high street.

Episode four

Maya Jama's denim jacket

Four episodes in, and it's clear that Maya Jama's main mission this season is to deliver a lineup of covetable jackets. The latest contender? Her oversized belted jacket is from Alaïa. Alternatively, H&M's denim shirt dress is an excellent option, too.

Episode three

Maya Jama's leather jacket

Jama debuted another excellent outerwear look on episode three, albeit with a more subtle twist by way of her collarless leather jacket. Sleek and stylish, it's a perfectly elegant take on leather jackets, and while we haven't traced Jama's exact design, M&S has an excellent black alternative.

Maya Jama's faux fur coat

Jama's traitor style definitely isn'tunder-the-radar, as evidenced by her fluffy bolero from London-based AGRO Studio. It's still in stock so you could shop it, or for somegthing a bit more understated, Stand Studio has pared back alternative.

Episode one

Maya Jama's trench coat

For her entrance into the chapel, Jama chose a baggy double-breasted coat from Saint Laurent, paired with knee-high boots. The coat is made from technical shell, so it's shiny and comes with exaggerated shoulders, a belted waist, and a tie-neck design. Her exact coat is from Saint Laurent and still in stock in one size, but if you'd rather not budget four figures, Massimo Dutti's shiny brown trench can be styled with a silk scarf for a similar statement effect.

Maya Jama's tan blazer and jeans

While we haven't tracked down the exact provenance of Jama's blazer and jeans look, the outfit's appeal lies in the fact that it's so easy to recreate with your favourite jeans and a tailored blazer layered over a simple white T-shirt and blue shirt. It's really the perfect casual office look that's also great for weekend plans.

When Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel tied the knot in a chic LA ceremony, it was one of the hottest celebrity weddings of the summer. The 1975 frontman and model have fast become everyone's favourite indie couple since they started dating in 2023.

While Matty is famed for being the voice behind hit songs including ‘Chocolate’ and ‘The Sound' (as well as being the son of Loose Woman Denise Welch and Benidorm’s Tim Healy), Gabbriette is probably a newer face to some. The model rose to fame around late 2019, quickly becoming one of pop culture’s It girls. When Charli XCX dropped the summer-defining album Brat last year, Gabbriette was name dropped in ‘360.’

Who is Gabbriette Bechtel? Where is she from? And what does she do? Here’s everything you need to know about Matty Healy’s new wife.

Who is Gabbriette Bechtel, and how old is she?

Gabbriette is a model, singer, and all round It-girl who is married to The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

Born on 28 July, 1997, she’s currently 29 years old (making her nine years younger than 37 year old Matty.) For our star sign fans, she’s also a loyal and bold Leo.

Is Gabbriette her real name?

Not quite. Born Gabriella Leigh Bechtel, Gabbriette is her stage name.

Where is Gabbriette Bechtel from?

Gabbriette was born in Orange County, California, to parents Gary and Chayo Bechtel. Her father is of Swiss-German origin and her mother is Mexican - something Gabbriette said was complicated when growing up. She previously told British Vogue, ‘The majority of students at my high school were beautiful, strictly white blonde girls, and my sister and I were Hispanic. I was called some pretty awful things. But then I just learned to laugh at it.’

Talking of learning to love her culture and heritage, she told Highsnobiety, ‘I was annoyed that I was called slurs and made to feel different, because I felt fine with myself. When I would go home with my sister, we were like, “We’re hot, we’re fun, we’re cool people, but everyone else is just being lame.” I know half those people probably don’t even remember saying those things to me, or they thought that it was really funny in passing, but it did stick with me.’

What does Gabbriette Bechtel do?

While she’s best known for being a model, Gabbriette has dipped her toe into many an avenue over the years. She initially had dreams of being a professional dancer, and got her start after being cast by MTV to appear in music videos for Blood Orange. Her part was later cut - ‘I didn’t make it into the music video, but I did all of the rehearsals, and I think my feet are in it at some point,’ she recalled - but not before she caught the attention of scouts.

Her modelling career began not too long after, with Gabbriette later saying, ‘I was an unpaid, hard-working model for a very long time.’ She’s since walked on runways for the likes of Fendi, Diesel, and DSquared2, as well as modelled for Bottega Veneta, Nike, Marc Jacobs, Mia Mia, Betsey Johnson, and Savage X Fenty.

Dancing is still very much something Gabbriette loves, with the star telling British Vogue in 2023, ‘I was convinced I was going to be a professional ballerina and I still am.’

Outside of her professional work, Gabbriette is also a keen cook! She often shares recipes online, previously sharing that, ‘growing up, my family was always cooking. My mum is Mexican and my dad is German, so there were all these different cultures colliding in our house […] Family meals were a big part of our life, we’d sit down together after school without our phones and talk about our day, and the cooking process was always a big part of that.’

Was Gabbiette Bechtel in a band?

Gabbriette first met Charli XCX after appearing in one of her music videos, with the Brat star going on to found the punk rock girl group, Nasty Cherry. The band featured Gabbriette, Chloe Chaidez, Debbie Knox-Hewson, and Georgia Somary. Gabbriette previously shared, ‘I met [Charli] on the set of a music video, and we ended up partying together for a few years. I didn’t see her for a while, and then she reached out and was like, “I’m doing this project and I’ve been trying to cast the singer.’”

The band was lead singer Gabbriette’s first time making music. She previously shared, ‘I think maybe this would be the only opportunity where someone would trust me not having any experience, not playing any instruments, not singing before. I don’t think this ever would have happened again. So how the hell could I have said no?'

The band went on to release three EPs, including Season 1 (2019), Season 2 (2020), and The Movie (2021). There group also appeared in the Netflix documentary I’m With The Band: Nasty Cherry.

Nasty Cherry are no longer active, with the COVID-19 pandemic putting a halt to their plans. Gabbriette told Highsnobiety, ‘We couldn’t do anything together, we couldn’t tour our second EP, and we weren’t able to make music together because we were all in different places in the world. So we just decided that it wasn’t going to work out anymore. I miss it all the time. It ended too abruptly.’

When did Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel meet?

Gabbriette and Matty have been together since 2023, first linked a few months after Matty was said to have split from Taylor Swift. It’s not known how the couple first met, although some fan theories have guessed it could be down to some mutual friends. Gabbriette is good pals with Charli XCX, who is married to Matty’s bandmate, George Daniel.

Although the pair tend to keep their relationship away from the spotlight, Gabbriette did touch on their life together when chatting to E! News. Saying that they connect over their love for food and enjoy cooking together, she shared, ‘He’s taught me a lot about food.’

In June 2024, Gabbriette revealed via an Instagram Story that she was engaged to Matty. Showing off her black engagement ring, she captioned the post ‘MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT.’

Matty’s mother Denise Welch later addressed the news on Loose Women, saying, ‘I obviously have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged ... They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York and I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official ... he’s got engaged to Gabriella Bechtel - Gabbriette she’s known as. Black diamond; he had it made for her. I couldn’t be more thrilled. We couldn’t be happier - she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law. I’m thrilled.’

When did Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel marry?

Gabbriette and Matty married on 18 July, 2026. The pair tied the knot in Los Angeles at Castillo del Lago, an estate in the Hollywood Hills formerly owned by Madonna.

Pictures showed the pair kissing at the altar, with Gabbriette wearing a gothic-style drop waist wedding dress designed by avant-garde fashion label Matières Fécales. Reps for the couple told People, ‘Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.’

Who has Gabbriette dated?

Before she was linked to Matty Healy, Gabbriette was in a relationship with another famous face. From 2020 to 2023, she was said to be dating actor Levi Dylan, the son of singer-songwriter Jakob Dylan and the grandson of singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.

What is Gabbriette's net worth?

Thanks to her modelling and influencing career, it's thought that Gabbriette could be worth around $1 million (around £745k) to $2 million (£1.5m)

Is Gabbriette pregnant?

In recent pictures of Gabbriette and Matty attending Jessie Jo Stark’s Muse album release party, some fans have begun speculating that Gabriette may be pregnant. The couple haven't confirmed that they're expecting a new addition to their family, so it's all rumours for now!

There are few ways to deplete your credibility quite like ordering pumpkin-spice anything. Can a flavour be cringe? According to the good taste brigade, absolutely.

Don’t let that stop you. It doesn’t stop me (aah, the benefits of not having much ‘cool’ stock to crash in the first place) – I’ve had a Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Spice cookie and a Cinnamon Bun Latte this weekend. ’Tis the season, et cetera.

Someone else who looks like he’d enjoy a pumpkin space latte? Drake. Just see his ‘Christian girl autumn’ (thank you, Internet) fringed poncho from a couple of weeks back. Rappers love whipped cream and cinnamon too, people.

But it’s not a sugar rush I’m riding right now, so much as an autumn high. In addition to the consumption of novelty pumpkin beverages, symptoms include: a compulsion to wear big-brimmed hats and spice cabinet colours, the desire to say ‘fall’, feverish Pinteresting of New England property.

The autumn cliché closet has become something of an Internet punchline (see: Drake) and a signifier of being basic. But steady on there, style police, to ignore is to miss out.

If pumpkin patch content creation has somewhat dented the appeal of the autumn look in recent years, its purest forms (which often come from film and TV) remain legitimately stylish. It’s Meg Ryan in a bowler-cloche and tweeds walking through the blazing-orange leaves of Central Park in When Harry Met Sally. It’s Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in crushed velvet and big knits in their higgledy-piggledy house in Practical Magic. It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer in knee-high boots and mini-skirts kicking ass in a graveyard, hanging out in a library. It’s Rachel, Monica and Phoebe’s Thanksgiving outfits in Friends and Ali MacGraw’s belted camel coat on campus in Love Story, it’s Robin Williams’ cord blazer in Dead Poets Society and Julia Roberts’ knit beanies in Stepmom (a lot of the autumn cannon is sad). Honestly, it’s Claudia Winkleman in any and every episode of The Traitors.

Off screen you’re spoilt for references too – be that via Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s block heel boots and belted Prada coats or Princess Diana’s plaids and poufy berets. The autumn cliché closet is made to be worn in a huge Nancy Meyers kitchen. It borrows heavily from a preppy East Coast aesthetic (Massachusetts is to autumn style what the South of France is to summer); Ralph Lauren is the patron saint.

One reason you shouldn’t sleep on the look is that it feels particularly pertinent right now, as in this autumn specifically. Consider AW26’s propositions: Acne’s furry trim boots and trailing scarves. Emporio Armani’s over the knee socks and check skirt suits. Rabanne’s sweater vests. Tory Burch’s caramel cords (inspired by her father’s) and textured sweaters. Celine’s wide-brimmed hats. This is comfort dressing of the highest order – familiar but new. It’s JW Anderson’s new Ugg collaboration.

But just like a pumpkin spice latte it returns every year and works in any autumn. Why? Well there is, I think, a Proustian association with autumn’s most familiar style codes (think ginormous cable-knit jumpers and flannel pyjama bottoms tucked into thick socks, scarves wrapped and wrapped around the neck, knee-high boots, kilts, duffel coats). It’s like you can immediately smell gingerbread and hear an open fire crackling, you can feel the tingle of cold fingers and the anticipation of the end of year exhalation.

That’s why we (me! Drake!) continue to gravitate towards these nostalgic codes, often borrowed from an affluent, academic, white-picketed life we’ve never lived – because it’s cosy. So what if it’s a photogenic version of life that doesn’t pertain to reality? Who cares if the reality is less crunchy leaves in Central Park and more wet-leaves-on-the-track? Does it matter if you bought your gourds from a supermarket and not a local farm? Nah, it’s about a dream. In turbulent times leaning into autumn’s clichés – sartorial or otherwise – provides comfort and security. All you have to do is bring the pumpkin spice.

Made In Chelsea is back on our screens - and it seems there's a new romance for fans to watch...

Recent episodes saw Rosie Lewis - the ex-girlfriend of Chuggs Wallis - appear on camera in the hopes of winning her ex back. Fans had first begun linking Chuggs and Rosie earlier this year, before teasers for the show revealed that she would indeed appear.

It seems while the couple had been dating, their relationship came to an end - with Rosie reportedly going on a trip with former MIC-star Harvey for his beer brand, and becoming involved with someone else while there. It was a situation that left Chuggs feeling wounded, accusing Rosie of cheating on him.

Of course, it later emerged that Chuggs was dating Zeyno Taylan at the same time as Rosie - leading some viewers to brand Chuggs as being a tad hypocritical.

Who is Rosie? What does she do? And did her MIC expression of love win back Chuggs? Here's what we know.

Who is Rosie Lewis and what does she do?

Rosie Lewis is a content creator and influencer who creates content around travel, food, and fitness. Some of her videos see her sharing her gym routine, day-in-the life clips, and videos of her at Hyrox.

She also recently appeared on Made In Chelsea series 32, attempting to win back her ex-boyfriend Chuggs.

Where does Rosie Lewis live?

Rosie currently lives in West London, with a recent video showing her redecorating her London flat.

How old is Rosie Lewis?

Rosie appears to be somewhere in her mid to late 20s. Some reports have listed her as being 24 years old, while others have said 27. Chuggs, for his part, is 28 years old.

Are Rosie and Chuggs still together?

In a recent Hawaii vlog posted earlier this month, Rosie addressed her MIC appearance - telling her social media subscribers, 'It's very extreme. I'm going on national TV to get a boy back. When you know, you know.'

Rosie said she never initially wanted to appear on MIC and that her family were 'really against it,' explaining, 'I had no interest in it, just in the sense of it's really scrutinizing your life.'

She want on to say she was feeling 'so much anxiety' over her upcoming episodes, saying, 'It's all my dirty laundry being aired, which I expected.'

Rosie appeared to hint that she and Chuggs are back together, or at least on good terms, telling her followers that she was 'in a good place with my relationship, and I'm scared it's going to cause more cracks in it once everyone's opinions are coming out.

'Once it's aired, you kind of re-live how you felt at the time 'cause you're having to watch your emotions back. And also, the public opinion. I know it's not public opinion - no one even watches the show - but some people do, and some people comment on it.'

Will Rosie Lewis join the cast of Made In Chelsea?

Rosie has confirmed that she never wanted to go on the show, which will see her appear in two a bit episodes. 'It was the only way I could speak to the guy I wanted to speak to,' she explained in her vlog, adding, 'The purpose was fulfilled.'

Rosie then revealed that it's unlikely she'll joint the cast of Made In Chelsea, despite having several friends who are in the cast. Saying she had 'no intention to carry on filming,' Rosie explained, 'I wouldn't want a relationship on the show.'

Does Rosie Lewis have social media?

You'll find her on Instagram @rosielewis_.

The CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the world has allegedly had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy.

Jensen Huang, the co-founder of Nvidia, a trillion-dollar US company that makes processing chips for AI systems, admitted to having been ‘unfaithful’ to his wife. It’s been widely reported that the tech mogul cheated with businesswoman Alice Huang, who US officials claim is a spy for Beijing.

Nvidia has opened an investigation into the reports, stating that the firm doesn’t believe US national security is compromised, and Jensen Huang, who has close ties to the likes of Donald Trump, is still committed to running the company.

Who is Alice Huang?

Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is an alleged Chinese spy. She’s also a businesswoman, former TV presenter, and former managing director for Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data centre company.

The New York Times broke the story that Alice Huang allegedly had an affair with Jensen Huang, the CEO and co-founder of Nvidia. Megaspeed, Alice’s former workplace, buys AI chips from Nvidia and runs data centres across south-east Asia. The company has previously been accused of smuggling advanced chips into China, violating US export controls.

According to reports, US officials believe that Alice was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information about Jensen and AI operations in the US. China and the US are in a race to develop the most advanced AI systems, so the sector is extremely sensitive.

How old is Alice Huang?

It’s not publicly known how old Alice Huang is. Jensen Huang, who she is rumoured to have had an affair with, is 63 years old.

How did Alice Huang meet Jensen Huang?

There are pictures of Alice Huang and Jensen Huang together from 2024, but it’s unclear if they met before this point.

They were first publicly photographed drinking whisky together in June 2024 in Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, after a trade show. Since then, they’ve been pictured at various tech industry events together, and at restaurants and bars, according to The Times.

In one photograph from Taiwanese media, Alice is seen giving Jensen a kiss on the cheek, and later they were spotted leaving in the same car.

Are Alice Huang and Jensen Huang related?

No, Huang is a common Chinese surname. Alice Huang and Jensen Huang are not related.

I think it's safe to say UGG has had a better glow-up than most of us since 2012. While some of us are still trying to recover from our old Tumblr outfits, the footwear brand has been busy broadening its horizons. Ballet flats? Check. Loafers? Check. A JW Anderson collaboration? Also check. Who knew there was so much going on beyond the chestnut boot?

If your mental image of UGG is still a pair of Classic Minis teamed with black leggings and an oversized hoodie, it's time for a little catch-up. The brand has been branching out into new silhouettes, and some of its latest designs are a far cry from the sheepskin boots that made it a household name. Not that we're suggesting you throw those out – some wardrobe relationships are worth keeping.

And it's not as though the celebrity crowd has lost interest, Bella Hadid has kept the brand's miniature boots firmly in the street style conversation, while Rihanna and Dua Lipa have both been spotted wearing its UGG x Palace Tasman slippers. Jennifer Lawrence is another fan of the classic boots, while Zoë Kravitz was recently seen in black Tasman II slippers in New York. That's quite the fan cub for a shoe many of us once reserved for the walk to the corner shop.

UGG has been rubbing shoulders with the fashion set for years, teaming up with designers including Telfar, Molly Goddard, Eckhaus Latta and Feng Chen Wang on some rather unexpected interpretations of its everyday footwear. It's even made its way onto the London Fashion Week runway, with KNWLS reworking the humble boot for its spring/summer '23 collection, complete with sculptural heels and metal hoops. Ashish followed for spring/summer '24, sending embellished, colourful UGG styles down the catwalk, while Collina Strada, Tolu Coker and Chopova Lowena have all put their own spin on the familiar styles.

One of the more unexpected additions to the line up has to be the ballet flats. The Zora Ballet Flat gives the classic ballerina shoe an UGG makeover, while the Quill Ballet Flat brings a softer feel to the category. It's an interesting move for a brand synonymous with boots, but we're certainly not complaining. After all, finding a pretty flat that doesn't leave you limping home after a few hours is no small achievement.

Elsewhere, the loafers are worth a look if you're after something smarter than your usual UGG slipper. The Tazz and Tasman are still going strong, too, with their easy slip-on shapes making them forever favourites.

For the trainer lovers, there's the Lo Lowmel, a skate-inspired shoe that looks particularly good with baggy denim. And if you're more of a clog person, the Goldenstar is something you should definitely try out.

Of course, the classics aren't going anywhere, the Classic Ultra Mini and Classic Micro still have plenty of appeal, particularly if you're after that UGG look without committing to the taller boot.

It's quite the offering when you consider where the brand started. And while we're not sure our 2012 selves would recognise half of these shoes, our current wardrobes are certainly making room.

Newsflash! Kylie Jenner is just as obsessed with fawn-core as the rest of us. Making her debut at the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Saturday night, the beauty mogul and reality TV personality arrived at the star-studded event as the antithesis of a dear caught in headlights. Dressed in the print of the season, Jenner walked the red carpet in a sheeny body-hugging brown gown from Ashi Studio's fall 2026 couture collection, which was decked top-to-toe in deer spots.

The look, which is her most viral since her surprise Victoria's Secret appearance last month, couldn't get more autumn-coded and that includes her beauty MO, too. Marked by subtly smokey warm-toned eyes, '90s supermodel-esque rosy brown lips and an airy windswept blow-out, it's exactly the kind of look the masses will be hitting copy and paste on for the forseeable. As for the the finishing touch of the look? It's the cherry on top.

Taking to TikTok, Jenner posted a video of herself heading out for the night, but not without a spritz of her latest fragrance addiction. Unsurprisingly, it's one of her own creations, Kylie Cosmetics' Mood Stones Velvet Brew Eau De Parfum, £48, which she referred to as 'the most perfect fall scent. I'm obsessed,' on Instagram Stories on Sunday.

Proving just how versatile it really is, she's been wearing it on nights out, as seen at the LACMA Art+Film Gala, as well as between workouts – she posted it perched next to her Alo bag, too, suggesting it really is the kind of go-to scent for any occasion.

Kylie Cosmetics' Mood Stone scents have been flying like hot cakes since they first launched this summer. Following the global success of her best-selling Cosmic fragrance franchise, Mood Stones are inspired by the immersive power of scent and includes three different fragrances in the line-up: Cashmere Muse, Blush Wood, and Velvet Brew.

'We’ve received so much love for our Cosmic fragrances, and I’m so excited to introduce our newest scents, Mood Stones. I really wanted to create these as an embodiment of my versatility – there’s beauty in the multifaceted, and I wanted to embrace the notion that you can be more than one thing,' Jenner says.

Where Cashmere Muse celebrates simplicity with a clean, refined, and grounded profile, Velvet Brew is anything but. An ambery spice with a velvety depth and a hint of sweet warmth, it is loaded with a rich blend of creamy hazelnut, juicy plum, grounding coffee and earthy patchouli. The finish exudes a bold, seductive, and mysterious energy, which undeniably comes in handy when you're walking a red carpet lined with flashing cameras. No wonder Jenner laced herself in it for her gala debut.

Keen to try it? We suggest you act fast. Kylie Jenner's favourite fall scent is now on sale at LookFantastic for just £38.40.

'Tis the season to start inventing excuses so that you don't have to leave your sofa when it's cold and wet outside. But this week you'll have an actual excuse to stay in your house this weekend: Black Doves season two is dropping on Netflix on 5 November, and frankly, I think an entire weekend in is justified.

The slick spy thriller (although I'm assuming you were just as obsessed with season one as I was) sees Keira Knightley return as Helen Webb, a seemingly conventional politician's wife who also happens to be a convert operative who's selling state secrets. Ben Whishaw also returns as her equally complicated partner (in crime), Sam Young, so expect plenty of dark humour alongside a wardrobe you're going to need a wishlist creating for.

In season one of Black Doves, Knightley's wardrobe spanned everything from a tailored camel Max Mara coat to a more accessible Sweaty Betty tank top, proving that even a woman living a double life can also have an incredibly diverse wardrobe. Last season's costume designer Ian Fulcher was vocal about the fact her wardrobe also had to lead double lives, without becoming entirely unfeasible for a woman who was often, at little notice, dropping everything and leaving the house for a secret mission. This season you can expect more of the same, with the return of a camel coat, a blue dress and even more jackets thrown into the mix.

So, if you too feel inspired by Keira Knightley's wardrobe in Black Doves season two, I used my very own detective skills (a quick Google search) to locate the exact pieces she wears, as well as high street alternatives.

Gemma Lavers is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia, where she tracks down viral pieces and is as comfortable navigating the M&S new-in page as she is dissecting the latest celebrity look. When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear). For a glimpse into said travels, outfit inspo and life as a journalist, follow her on Instagram.

It’s a big year for Emma Corrin. ‘I’m famously muddied shoes of Jane Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet in Netflix’s big budget adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. With Millennial favourite Dolly Alderton behind the screenplay and a controversially blond Jack Lowden set to brood up a storm as Mr Darcy, anticipation is at an all-time high.

It’s little wonder that Corrin is feeling the strain. There’s not only the special affection for the novel to contend with, but the cult status of not one, but two screen adaptations. Colin Firth’s wet shirt scene in the 1995 BBC series, and Matthew Macfadyen’s yearning hand flex (in the 2005 version directed by Joe Wright), are both etched into the cultural zeitgeist.

Jennifer Ehle and Keira Knightley played Austen’s heroine in those versions respectively, and Corrin is determined to do Elizabeth Bennet justice. ‘She’s completely, unequivocally herself,’ they say. ‘No matter how much anyone tries to change her or pin her down – she’s the original rebellious heroine.’

In summer 2025, Corrin not only began filming Pride And Prejudice, they were also announced as the global ambassador for Miu Miu Beauty and the face of the house’s Miutine eau de parfum campaign. They found themselves misting on the scent so frequently that the smell – a sophisticated blend of gardenia and brown sugar notes – became inextricably linked with their on-screen alter ego.

‘All the characteristics that Miu Miu baked into this fragrance really resonate with Elizabeth Bennet,’ they say. ‘Miu Miu celebrate individuality and then there’s this extra cheekiness to Miutine Intense,’ the house’s newest fragrance, which brings deep blackberry and bourbon notes into play. ‘I started wearing that for the ballroom scenes where the tension escalates.’

It’s not the first time that Corrin has deployed a scent strategy to their acting. ‘When I played Diana [in the fourth season of Netflix’s The Crown] I wore her favourite Penhaligon’s perfume, Bluebell.’

At 30 years old, Corrin has an acting CV worthy of a Hollywood veteran. They have a Golden Globe, a Critic’s Choice Award, a seat in the Marvel universe (Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine), leading roles in a medley of blockbusters and a legacy of critical acclaim on stage. No one could accuse them of lacking range.

‘I’m drawn to very independent, rebellious protagonists – Elizabeth Bennet is a prime example, it was such a joy to play her.’ And if any other characters from a book could leap into their filming schedule? ‘The dream role would be Patti Smith in an adaptation of Just Kids, but I don’t think it will ever be made, and it almost shouldn’t be, but it was a seminal book for me growing up,’ says Corrin. ‘I think everyone should read it – like reach the end and you’re allowed to enter your twenties.’

Known as the ‘godmother of punk’, Smith was famously anti-fashion, her androgynous style informed by poets and rock icons; Corrin shares her desire to defy expectations. From a Miu Miu swim cap and column dress ensemble at the 2021 Emmys, to sharp-shouldered plumage at the Schiaparelli haute couture A/W show, Corrin’s biggest style moments are brainstormed with friend and long-term stylist Harry Lambert.

‘The conversation usually goes, “We’re seeing a lot of this in fashion right now, let’s do the exact opposite,” or “Let’s do something really ironic.” Harry has a great sense of humour and I love getting to be so playful.’ Corrin takes a lo-fi approach to off-duty dressing. ‘I have this sort of split identity. I love the high fashion element of my job but, when I’m at home, I wear the comfiest thing in reach.’

As for make-up, Corrin steers clear. ‘I wasn’t even into it when I was younger,’ they say. ‘I remember being 14 and getting made up for the first time at a friend’s birthday party – I saw myself in the mirror and got the fright of my life, I felt so uncomfortable.’ To reject an entire rite of teen passage, at a time when every instinct is screaming at you to assimilate, is no mean feat. ‘Looking back, I’m impressed I was able to recognise myself so clearly at such a young age,’ says Corrin.

The wellness world holds an allure, though. ‘I’m really into red light therapy, acupuncture, buccal massage and I love a spa,’ they say. ‘I got all my blood work done last year to figure out the exact combination of vitamins that I should be taking too.’ Gwyneth Paltrow, eat your heart out.

When it comes to winding down, the actor keeps it simple: a good drink and a hot bath. ‘I like to light a candle, put on a face mask and sip on a crisp, cold Roku gin and tonic.’ Self-care is important too. ‘I see it as the equivalent of a cat slowly stretching out their leg and grooming themselves: it’s about doing what makes you feel good.’

So, where is Corrin headed once Pride And Prejudice mania subsides? ‘I’m constantly looking for new challenges, to play the sort of roles I have never played before – the industry loves to pigeonhole you, but I’m all about transformation.’ We can raise a G&T to that.

It felt for a while like autumn had got lost in the post. But now, finally, it’s here – and the upside of gloomier days is that it’s officially boot season. Finding the right pair is a highly personal endeavour (up there with jeans for many of us) and means making decisions about everything from heel height to toe shape, finish and colour. Then there’s the question of how to wear them, which comes down to a few clever tweaks in proportion and silhouette. So, while a sensible knee-length skirt can look frumpy with a block-heel ankle boot, it feels immediately fresh when worn with a sharper, higher style. And even the simplest piece can feel like a relevant statement when teamed with animal-print boots. Here’s the science bit.

The sock boot + cropped trousers

Aka your minimal-effort, maximum-return boot. As soft and simple as a sock, these pared-back designs are a sleek grounding point to tailored trousers. Show them off with a slight crop.

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

Mr Justice Bennathan confirmed last week that Brand would receive 'a custodial sentence of some length' - with today's sentencing revealing that the now-disgraced comedian has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for his crimes.

Making his sentencing remarks, the judge described Brand as being 'in many people's eyes funny and charismatic' 20 years ago. 'You had also become a sexual predator,' he continued, adding that Brand's status 'protected' him until 2023, when media reports emerged of the allegations against him.

The three women were given the chance to read their victim impact statements to the court during today's sentencing, with one of Brand's sexual assault victims reading her statement in person. With all three women entitled to anonymity, she was shielded by a beige curtain as she recalled that she 'lost any love for myself for a long time, thinking I was damaged goods' following Brand's 2004 sexual assault on her. She told the court she felt 'physically sick' seeing him in the press as his fame continued to rise, labelling his behavior as 'disgusting.'

The other two impact statements were read to the court by the prosecution's lead barrister. The victim of the rape Brand committed in 2009 shared that the attack seriously affected 'intimate relationships,' as well as her career and day-to-day life. Describing Brand's fame as causing a 'power imbalance,' her victim statement continued, 'I felt that if I reported him I would not be believed.' She also said it was highly upsetting to have been portrayed by Brand's defense as 'merely an obsessive fan.'

A third victim statement, from another woman who was sexually assaulted by Brand in 2005, told the court that the incident had a 'lasting impact' on her life. Saying she had been advised to seek therapy for 'serious anxiety,' she said it affected her work 'when dealing with stories of sexual violence,' as well as 'relationships with some of my male colleagues. Especially during the MeToo movement.'

The 12 jurors delivered their guilty verdict last week on Brand's trial, nine hours and 13 minutes after their deliberations began. The comedian, 51, had faced seven counts in his trial from six different women, dating from 1999 to 2009: three of rape, three of sexual assault and one of attempted indecent assault.

It's since been confirmed that Brand is also now being investigated over two further rape allegations, with a statement from Metropolitan Police confirming that investigations into the allegations ‘remain ongoing.’

Among those who turned up at Southwark Crown Court to watch Brand being sentenced this morning was his wife, Laura Gallacher, who gave evidence in support of her husband during the trial, and Brand's father, Ron. Outside the court also stood supporters of Brand, with one pair holding a homemade sign reading, 'Christ was crucified for telling the truth. Russell is the truth.' Throughout his trial, Brand - who had become increasingly religious in the content he posted online in recent years - told reporters he had felt the 'presence of God' in the courtroom.

What is the maximum punishment for rape?

According to Sentencing Council guidelines, the maximum punishment for rape is life in prison, although custodial sentences vary from four to 19 years depending on the circumstances of the crime. Aggravating and mitigating factors, such as if the offender has any previous convictions and whether the victim was vulnerable, are usually taken into account by the sentencing judge.

The jury were told that Brand is of ‘previous good character’, despite his 30-year-old cannabis possession conviction, which they were instructed to ignore.

Under current UK rules for these offenses, prisoners convicted of rape are generally required to serve at least two-thirds of their sentence behind bars before being eligible for release on licence.

What is the maximum punishment for sexual assault?

Punishments for sexual assault range drastically from a community order to a maximum of 10 years in prison. According to Sentencing Council guidelines, a judge must consider levels of culpability and harm (for example, whether the offending caused severe psychological harm.)

What charges has Brand been found guilty of?

The former TV star faced seven counts in his trial: three of rape, three of sexual assault, and one of attempted indecent assault.

Brand was found not guilty on two counts of rape (one in autumn 1999, and one in summer 2004) and one count of attempted indecent assault, said to have taken place at MTV offices in 2001.

He was found guilty on three counts of sexual assault (one that took place at a party in Soho in 2004, one that took place between 2004 or 2005 at Choice FM, and one that took place in 2009), and on one count of rape, which took place at his Hampstead home in 2009.

If you or someone you know has been affected by rape or sexual assault and need support, you can reach out to the 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line, Rape Crisis, Survivors Trust, or Victim Support.

New mum Sienna Miller is booked and busy doing the rounds - and, as ever, providing us with plenty of hair inspiration along the way. After stepping out sporting her favourite cool-girl crumple at the Airbnb.org Gala in LA, she was spotted again last Wednesday at the world premiere of Madden, wearing a 19th-century-inspired bustle dress. But while the fashion was certainly a talking point, it was her 2K16-coded half-up, half-down bun that really sent us on a trip down memory lane.

And her latest appearance has sparked yet more excitement online. Attending the LACMA gala alongside partner Oli Green, Miller debuted a piece-y, voluminous, flicky 'do, which we’re dubbing the ‘boyfriend blow-out’. Why? Because Green couldn’t seem to keep his hands off it, tenderly adjusting and playing with her hair in a sweet red carpet moment.

Of course, the appeal lies in the styling itself - a beautifully undone blow-dry created by Jenny Cho that manages to look polished without feeling overly prim or precious. According to celebrity hairstylist Zebulen Howell, it’s all about striking that balance between looking styled and retaining a sense of effortlessness. ‘I’d describe it as a really undone, tousled blow-dry. There’s definitely styling involved, but it still feels authentic to Sienna’s more relaxed aesthetic. It’s polished in all the right places without losing that effortless finish.’

Conor Mclaughlin stylist at Hershesons Belgravia is is agreement. 'It sits beautifully between her signature boho and something more polished. The hair still has that softness and movement, but the finish is smoother and more intentional: a relaxed centre part, airy lift at the crown, and loose, brushed-out bends rather than defined curls.'

Howell notes it’s Miller’s clever layering that really brings the look to life. Soft, face-framing sections and layers throughout the lengths give the hair its signature movement and texture, allowing those flicky front pieces to fall naturally while creating lift around the face. ‘The soft layering around her face and throughout the hair gives it that movement and texture,’ he explains. ‘It’s the cut that allows it to move effortlessly. It also means you can create a wave around the face while lifting it at the same time.’

'These long, soft layers and face-framing pieces keep the hair from feeling heavy and help it fall into those easy bends,' adds Mclaughlin. 'Keep enough weight through the ends so it still feels full.'

Hoping to recreate the look at home? The trick is to think less bouncy salon blow-out and more relaxed, lived-in blow-wave. Thankfully, this is considerably easier to recreate. ‘I’d reach for a larger-barrel curling wand, wrapping sections of hair away from the face to create that loose movement, with the ends slightly rounded,’ says Howell. ‘Once you’ve worked through the hair, finish with a texturising spray to give it some grip and separation, followed by a hydrating oil through the ends for that glossy, healthy-looking finish.”

And then, of course, there’s the all-important height at the crown that adds polish. Rather than backcombing or reaching for anything too heavy, the secret is in building texture at the roots. ‘A good texturising spray (Sienna loves Larry King's) goes a long way when it comes to creating volume,’ Howell says.

'I'd go in with Hershesons Zhoosh Foam at the roots before blow-drying,' says Mclaughlin. 'It’s designed to add lift and body while keeping the hair soft. A set of Hershesons Self-Grip Rollers are key for volume at the crown. For extra hold, use a little dry shampoo at the roots once the roller is out. Keep richer creams and oils away from the crown so the volume doesn’t drop.'

Ultimately, the boyfriend blow-out is all about that elusive balance between polished and undone. With its soft layers, flicky ends and touchable volume it's a look approved by the masses, and, most importantly, Oli Green.

Our hostess with the mostest is officially leaving the villa. Maya Jama announced yesterday that she is stepping down from presenting Love Island, after three years fronting the reality TV show.

The show was originally presented by the late Caroline Flack, then Laura Whitmore, before Maya Jama took the role in 2023. Maya’s departure comes after her stellar performance on The Celebrity Traitors, making it to the final before a last-minute banishment.

‘What an incredible era and what an unforgettable time I’ve had [...] but as all good things must come to an end, it’s my time to step down as the host of my beloved Love Island,’ Maya wrote on Instagram. ‘I’ve always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new.’

Now Love Island is left with some very glamorous shoes to fill, fans are speculating who could be Maya’s replacement. With the All Stars spin off starting in January, there will need to be a speedy appointment, but ITV haven’t shared who that will be yet.

Here's who fans think could be the new host of Love Island.

Who will replace Maya Jama as host of Love Island?

Olivia Attwood

Season three Love Island finalist Olivia Attwood is an obvious contender for the hot spot. Not only was she on the show herself, but she’s since carved a very successful presenting career, co-hosting her KISS radio show with boyfriend Pete Wicks and fronting multiple ITV documentaries. ‘My money is on Liv,’ wrote one fan on Reddit. ‘She has history with successful ITV reality programs, relationships with producers, known well in the fandom, live tv trained and polished.’

Maura Higgins

Another ex-islander who has gone on to have a very established hosting career, Maura Higgins is heavily billed as the new host of Love Island. She’s definitely a fan favourite – one user wrote on X ‘they must call Maura Higgins’ under Maya’s announcement, while another said, ‘Maura Higgins is the only one who can do the job.’

But some fans have pointed out that Maura has a busy schedule of presenting commitments in the US. Since her Love Island appearance, she’s become very popular stateside, appearing on the American version of The Traitors and currently competing on Dancing With The Stars. Given her success across the pond, viewers are questioning whether she’d be available to host Love Island in the UK. ‘Maura has diff 2 shows she’s hosting next year, she’s overly booked I fear,’ wrote one fan on X, referring to the Irish TV personality hosting the US versions of both Blind Date and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Indiyah Polack

Indiyah Polack is another former islander tipped for the role as host. After coming third place on season eight of the dating show, Indiyah has firmly stayed in the Love Island family. She was a panellist on Love Island: Aftersun from 2023 to 2025 and co-presented the Love Island: The Morning After podcast alongside Amy Hart. ‘This hole can only be filled by Indiyah Polack!!’ wrote one enthusiastic fan on Reddit.

Amelia Dimoldenberg

Fans think Amelia Dimoldenberg could be in the running now she’s stepped down from Chicken Shop Date, her mock dating show style format in which she chats awkwardly to celebrity guests over fried chicken and chips. ‘OH MY WORD. Perfect,’ wrote one fan on Reddit regarding the suggestion of Amelia taking the role. Since Chicken Shop Date’s success, Amelia has frequently appeared on the red carpet circuit delivering her characteristically dry questions, so maybe the next string to her bow will be taking the role of Love Island host.

AJ Odudu

She’s the current host of Big Brother alongside Will Best but some fans think AJ Odudu could make the move over to Love Island. She’s a seasoned presenter, with experience on live TV and reality shows, from Big Brother to the debrief show for Married at First Sight. ‘Get AJ to do Love Island, Maya can do BB and bring back Late & Live for Will,’ was one fan's suggestion on X.

Christmas is rolling ever closer, which means one thing only: I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here is returning for another year.

Celebrity Traitors has officially ended, Strictly is in full flow, and I’m A Celebrity is returning to our screens to complete our holy trinity of British TV. While our star-studded new line-up will be donning their sunhat and bug spray, we’ll be heading to the sofa with a cuppa and a heated blanket to watch our celebs tackle bushtucker trials and survive jungle living.

All our celebs will be heading down under in the hopes of claiming the title of this year’s Jungle King or Queen - taking the crown from last year’s winner Angry Ginge, with Tom Read Wilson in second place.

So, when does I’m A Celebrity come out? What days of the week will it air? Consider this your definitive I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here 2026 guide.

When does I’m A Celebrity 2026 air?

Hint: it’s sooner than you think... ITV has confirmed that the new series of I’m A Celebrity will air this years on Monday 16th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Of course, this does mark one stark change from our usual programming. While the show usually begins on a Sunday slot, the launch show will instead land on Monday this year.

So, why has the show lost its prime-time slot? It’s actually thanks to some sport. This year, ITV will be showing the UEFA National League football match between England and Spain on Sunday 15th November, meaning I’m A Celeb had to be pushed back one day.

There’ll also be spin-off show I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked to look forward to. Hosted by Sam Thompson and Kemi Rogers, the live ITV2 show will give fans a chance to hear celeb opinions and discuss the jungle’s biggest moments.

What days of the week does I’m A Celebrity 2026 air? The release schedule explained

For now, the only confirmation we’ve got is that the show will begin on Monday 16th November.

Based on the past few years, the show typically air every single night of the week - meaning new episode drop Monday through Sunday. Episodes usually start at 9pm, and run for about an hour to an hour and a half. Typically speaking, you’ll be tucked up in bed by 10:30pm latest.

How to watch I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here 2026

You’ll be able to watch I’m A Celebrity on ITV1 and STV, with episodes also available on ITVX and STV Player.

As for I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked, you’ll be able to catch that one live in ITV2 and ITVX.

The darker evenings are drawing in and the countdown to Christmas is on - which means your weekend evenings are about to be spent in front of the telly watching the latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing...

The hit BBC dance competition is back for another season, bringing a host of new celebs onto the dance floor. Of course, it isn't only our celebrities who are fresh faces in the world of Strictly. We've waved goodbye to some of our most beloved professional dancers, and after Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly stepped back from the show earlier this year, there's a new presenting trio on the block: Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe, and former Strictly pro Johannes Radebe.

Now halfway through the competition, last night's dance-off proved that things are hotting up - and no one is safe.

As Sunday night's results were revealed, it was Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu, and Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby who found themselves both in the dance off. It was a final two that shocked many viewers - particularly given Bethany and Nancy's Foxtrot to 'Bleeding Love' had popped them fourth on the leaderboard. Maddie and Cach, on the other hand, had been joint bottom of the leaderboard.

And the tension didn't stop there. After the dance-off, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse both opted to save Bethany and Nancy. Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas opted to save Cach and Maddie - and with Shirley being given the casting vote this week, it was the House of the Dragon star who was sent home.

It's since sparked backlash from Strictly fans, who have called for the 'casting vote' role to be scrapped. 'I think when it's a split vote in a dance-off, rather than one judge having the casting vote and disregarding the other judges votes, it should go back to the public vote and the couple who actually got the lowest vote should go home,' one fan shared on X.

Another agreed, 'Said it once and I'll say it again, this judges casting vote is wrong and unfair. If [judges votes are split] 2-2, revert to public vote!'

With Blackpool upon us, the final is inching closer and closer. Who has left the competition, and who is still in with a chance of taking home the Glitter Ball trophy? Read on to find out more.

Who has left Strictly 2026 so far?

Bethany Antonia

It was Strictly superfan Bethany Antonia who became the sixth contestant to leave the competition, thanks to Shirley Ballas's casting vote. It marked Bethany's third dance-off.

Thanking her partner Nancy, Bethany shared, 'To go out on this dance and to feel the magic of getting to do that kind of routine... You have brought out a side of me that I didn't think I would ever get to see.'

Lawrence Robb

Halloween's triple elimination saw Lawrence and Jowita sent home, after dancing a tango to the Ghostbusters theme. Instead of voting for the couple they wanted to save, our judges voted for who they wanted to send home - with all of them opting for Emmerdale actor Lawrence.

Opening up about leaving the show, the Scottish actor said of his dancing partner, 'This wonderful human has helped me grow and to become a dancer that I didn't think I could be. All credit goes to Jowita.'

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Football pundit Shaun Wright-Phillips and his partner Alexis Warr were our fourth couple to leave the show, after their jive to 'Faith' by Stevie Wonder ft. Ariana Grande plummeted them to the bottom of the leaderboard. While Shaun secured one vote to be saved in the dance-off from judge Shirley Ballas, the rest of the judging panel choose to keep in Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu after their foxtrot to Olivia Dean's 'Man I Need'.

Despite being booted out on his birthday, Shaun has expressed nothing but love for the show. 'I’ve had an absolute blast, and I can honestly say I’ve made some friends for life,' he wrote on Instagram following his elimination. 'From the incredible talent on and off the dance floor, to the producers, make-up team and runners, you’ve all played a part in making this a journey I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.'

Dame Sarah Storey

After finding herself in the bottom two against House of the Dragon's Bethany, it was Dame Sarah Storey and her partner Julian Caillon who became the third couple to leave the competition. The Paralympian had failed to impress the judges with her Shania Twain inspired Tango - and in the eyes of some Strictly viewers, that wasn't exactly her fault...

'Sarah was definitely sabotaged by that stupid theme,' wrote one fan. 'Imagine dancing a tango to a jolly pop song. A tango is fierce, full of passion, not a happy to lucky dance. The theme let her down.'

Speaking after her exit, the Paralympian said she had no regrets (other than the fact she never got to perform a jive.) 'I always wanted to do a Paso Doble and I was just keen to try new dance styles and see if the Latin would suit me and we’ll never know,' she said, 'but I’m glad I got to do the dances I did.’

Melanie Walters

Melanie Walters and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec became the second couple to head home, after their Charleston to 'Ooh Ahh... Just A Little Bit' by Gina G failed to impress. While judge Motsi Mabuse voted to save Melanie in Sunday's dance-off, fellow judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, and Anton Du Beke all chose to save former footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips and his partner Alexis Warr instead.

It was a decision that shocked viewers, who took to social media to share their thoughts on the unexpected elimination. 'I genuinely felt that Melanie was definitely the better dancer out of the two, she gave much more energy during that dance off,' wrote one, as another agreed, 'She was robbed.'

While her exit has certainly left viewers upset, the Gavin and Stacey icon had only love for the BBC show. Speaking to host Emma Willis, Melanie shared, 'To be honest, no truth of a lie, I thought I was going to be out last week!'

Chris Appleton

Movie Night came early this year during week two, which marked our first Strictly 2026 elimination. After finding themselves in the dance off, Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu performed their Cha Cha to 'Pretty Woman' from Pretty Woman, while Chris Appleton and Amy Dowden danced their Cha Cha to 'I'll Be Ready' from Baywatch. Ultimately, it was Chris who was sent home - with all four of our judges voting to save Jaime.

Opening up about leaving the show, Chris told the London Standard, 'I never went in it to win it. I went in it to see if I could go out there and do it on a Saturday night, and I did it, and I'm proud of myself.'

Who's still in Strictly 2026?

With many more dances to come, we still have a host of celebs who are in with a chance of taking home the infamous Glitterball. Still in the competition at the moment are: Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington, Will Best and Dianne Buswell, Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby, Jaime Winstone and Carlos Gu, John Nellis and Katya Jones, Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola, Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin, Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita, and Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley.

Sienna Miller has long been serving up hair inspiration to the masses. Whether it's head-hugging pixies, short sharp bobs or a noughties-coded quiff, her hair's very own curriculum vitae is so well studied it's become a point of reference backstage at fashion shows and on film sets. This year, she has fostered that legacy by leaning into her signature boho style, and her recent run of red carpet moments have continued to secure her status as a true hair icon. Look to her latest masterpiece as proof.

Stepping out for the world premiere of Amazon MGM Studios' Madden on Wednesday, Miller donned a vintage blush-pink strapless minidress from Emanuel Ungaro’s Spring/Summer 1992 Haute Couture collection, which made a case for the return of the bustle. But that wasn't her only nod to nostalgia. The 19th-Century bustle dress is one thing, but her 2K16-coded half-up half-down bun, affectionately known as 'the hun', is what really sparked a longing for the past.

'The look feeds into an evolution of the boho bun Miller has been wearing recently,' Tom Smith, hairstylist and Grazia Beauty Panellist, points out. 'It's a playful take on the look as it intentionally secures more hair as opposed to leaving more strands out. There is a real consistent theme with her hairstyles at the moment, which is building on her boho chic branding.'

There has been a undeniable revival of half-up half-down styles in A-list circles of late. Kim Kardashian wore it when visiting the F1 paddock for the Singapore Grand Prix 2026 to support beau, Lewis Hamilton, last month, while Daisy Edgar Jones' ‘Dashwood dishevel’ gave the look an undone romantic spin at the London premiere of Sense and Sensibility.

The modern takes on the look, Miller's included, are a callback to the half-up half-down top knot styles that peaked in and around 2016. An effortless street style that was adopted by the likes of the Olsen twins, Kendall Jenner, Arianna Grande et al, it worked both casually and on red carpets as an effortless, utilitarian style. In fact, even Miller was a fan of the look, having sported it while on-the-go in 2013 and 2017.

Her modern iteration is a far cry from her previous styling. Now, Miller's 'hun' bun leans into the rise of undone, lived-in textures that look purposeful without being try-hard, which we've been seeing plenty of this year. It's complete with face-framing strands, a soft crumpled texture that runs through the upper and lower sections, and a focal top knot that is cleverly left half untied to add to the overall effortlessness of the look.

To achieve a similar finish, Smith advises starting with hair that isn't freshly washed, which allows for soft, airy texture that stays in place. Create a half-up half-down ponytail before twisting into a knot and pinning in place, while being sure to leave the top sections of the hair slightly ruffled with some height. Leaving strands loose around the face will help to modernise the look like Miller's. As for the lower sections of hair that have been left undone, use a straightener or waving tong diagonally to create S-bends, before lacing over locks with a fine texture spray.

Sienna Miller circa 2K16 would be proud.

Over the years, Holly Willoughby has developed a distinct approach to beauty. She's committed to a low-lift, no-fuss skincare routine, impossibly glossy blonde lengths, and make-up that is often punctuated by a winged liner, statement lips and a dewy radiance. They've long been hallmarks of her on-screen and social media presence, in fact it's the latter where we get a real look into the inner workings of her signature beauty regime, which she shares with her near eight million followers. This week, the presenter gave us an insight into her newest go-to: the Wylde Moon x Beauty Pie The Wild Dreamy Bodycare Duo, £60.

The limited-edition duo marks the first collaboration between membership-based premium beauty brand, Beauty Pie, and Willoughby's lifestyle offering, Wylde Moon, and it's certainly been a long time coming. Willoughby is a longtime user of Beauty Pie's 'luxury without the price tag' products and has cemented her approval of the brand by partnering with it for a series of curated edits.

In 2023, she was tapped in to launch what she called the Holly-Day Make-Up Edit, a collection of summer-ready staples spanning a smokey eyeshadow palette, a rosy blush and a high-shine gloss. The collab proved to be a success and the following year she was enlisted again to create another summer make-up kit, stacked with everything you need for a great sunny season glow. It's safe to say, Willoughby and Beauty Pie have good history.

Fast forward to autumn 2026, the beauty powerhouses have teamed up once again, this time with a focus on self-care. The (Borrowed From) The Wild Dreamy Bodycare Duo spans a Hand & Body Wash, £30 (member price £18), and Body Cream, £42 (member price £25), which are geared towards cosy season. They are built around Wylde Moon's signature house scent The Wild Eau de Parfum, £42, which is delicately described as 'a fresh, botanical scent evocative of an English country garden after rainfall'.

The pair certainly make for an elevated shower routine. Laced with an uplifting scent that blends aromatic herbs, fresh florals and warm woods, Beauty Pie's high-performance formulas serve as the bedrock of the duo and help to leave skin smooth, soothed and supple, while enlivening the senses.

Here, Willoughby dissects what self-care means to her and the process of masterminding her new wellness beauty duo.

Wylde Moon x Beauty Pie (Borrowed From) The Wild Dreamy Bodycare Duo

A cosy season duo to elevate your bath routine, this collaboration offers up Beauty Pie's bestselling Hand & Body Wash and Body Moisture Cream in Wylde Moon's signature house scent, :a[ The Wild Eau de Parfum]{href='https://boutique.wyldemoon.co.uk/products/borrowed-from-the-wild-perfume?' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}.

On practicing self-care

'I think you've just got to put it in your everyday, because the moment you say "how do you practice it?", it becomes another thing on your to-do list. You don't want it to be like that. That's why I say it's about practicing it in the little moments. Like making a cup of tea or a coffee and really focusing on that moment. For me, it's the not doing, which is self-care, it's the slowing, it's the stopping, it's the not multi-tasking. You could be walking the dog, getting out of the house, or having a bath.'

On creating the hand and body duo

'When we started Wylde Moon, it was with a candle and a fragrance. We did think about launching beauty [products] at the same time but I really wanted to establish our fragrance first because it would be the linchpin for everything. I wanted one fragrance that is an all-rounder, all year round, you can wear it to anything - and that really defines what the brand is. I wanted the scent to feel like someone's putting their hands on your shoulders and telling you to take a breath. It took a really long time to get it right.

'In that time, I started working with Beauty Pie and they introduced me to the world of skincare, and I was pretty shit before that. I was very basic with what I was using and I didn't really understand it. But they really taught me a lot. The Body Cream and Hand & Body Wash are Beauty Pie's bestsellers, and when I used them ahead of the collaboration without my fragrance in them, I was like, "That's unbelievable". They keep you hydrated, lock in moisture and make my skin really soft. I know that it's not going to get any better than that. I really believe in that base, but for me I thought what would elevate it even more was putting in my signature fragrance. I feel like it's the perfect marriage because I really trust the brand and I love our fragrance.'

On the ritual of a bath

'I love a bath in the evening, but I will shower in the morning because it's the only way I wake up. I like putting on the body wash and the way the whole shower fills with its fragrance. The steam means you really get hit with the amazing scent of mint and geranium. Then, when I'm out the shower I'll apply the body cream before spraying the fragrance. For me, it's like heaven and that layering means the scent stays with you all day. It also feels like a bit of a ritual and another little spa moment for yourself. Then, off you go and your day can start.'

On scent as self-care

'It is a big part of it because smell takes you somewhere even without moving. Also, if I was to put mint under your nose, you'd instantly feel like you can breathe. And I do think sometimes we just forget to take a deep breath. So even by taking an inhalation of a lovely smell, you're actually taking a deep breath in and that is obviously good, it resets and gives you a moment. My favourite smell is that scent of when it's just rained outside, it's got a fresh, green smell. When I made my fragrance, we added notes of blackcurrant, mint and bergamot. When you put them together, they have a fresh, earthy, grounding feeling.'

On the best way to use the duo

'In your shower start with the body wash. I've also got one next to the sink in my downstairs loo as it works as a hand wash too. Then, once you're out of the shower apply the body cream. That is a step I used to skip when I was younger, but now that I'm older, it's really important. Otherwise, your skin falls off! I just love it because it layers that scent up, and then I'll give myself a little Wylde Moon spritz of perfume, and away I go.'

On Remembrance Sunday, which falls on the 11th November, members of the royal family traditionally lead the tributes at the Cenotaph. As well as wearing black, the royals in attendance always wear a poppy. The Princess of Wales, in fact, sometimes wears three poppies instead of one. But what's the significance behind it?

Why do we wear the poppy?

The poppy brooch is worn as a sign of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives in the First World War, as well as other conflicts. It references the red Flanders poppies which grew from the ruins of WWI battlefields, a symbol of resilience in the wake of devastation.

Why does Kate Middleton wear multiple poppies?

Back in 2014, the Kate Middleton wore a single poppy to attend the annual Remembrance Sunday service. In 2015, she added two more of the crimson flowers to her lapel, and she continued to don a trio until 2019, when she opted to wear the Codebreakers brooch to honour her grandmother, Valerie Glassborow. The brooch was released in 2019 to honour those who worked in signal intelligence.

In 2020, under restrictions due to Covid, she reverted to wearing her three poppies and again, in 2021, she accessorised the Royal British Legion crystal flower brooch with a trio of traditional red poppies.

Why do the royals wear multiple poppies?

Curiously, it's never been officially confirmed by the palace, but one theory is that the royal family wears multiple poppy brooches in honour of family members who have fought and died at war.

The Princess of Wales' great-grandmother had three brothers who were killed in action during the First World War. Kate Middleton even viewed letters from said ancestors during a poignant visit to the Imperial War Museum in 2018.

The late queen also wore five poppies, and while the Palace never confirmed the exact reason, it’s widely believed it was a symbolic tribute to the different branches of the armed forces - the Army, the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force, the Civil Defence, and the Women’s Services.

Another theory is simply because a corsage of poppies is much more visible than one, while some theories suggest each poppy stands for a different branch of the military.

Everyone's wardrobe can teach you something. Kate Moss's iconic Glastonbury wardrobe taught me that the missing shoe from my wardrobe is a classic pair of Hunter wellies, Hailey Bieber taught me that an oversized leather jacket can solve any dressing dilemma, and Claudia Winkleman taught me that you can never be too extravagant when it comes to your choice in outerwear. While you'll find Winkleman in the Scottish Highlands while filming The Traitors, she lets none of the rain, dirt, or, ahem, practicalities get in the way of her outfits.

Purple fur in said Highlands might not be the obvious choice, but then Winkleman's The Traitors wardrobe has always been anything but expected – her stylist Sinead McKeefry is particularly good at mixing high-end with high street, cashmere with leather and rain with purple fur. While The Traitors series has ended for another year, I'm still stuck on her impressive rotation that manages to feel suitably eccentric yet also actually wearable.

Winkleman suitably describes her style for the most recent season of The Celebrity Traitors as 'We've gone like golf caddie meets Artful Dodger, and I'm into it, with always just a touch of Princess Anne.' As always, we saw plenty of Brora styles, a selection of tartan and checks, and most likely a couple of faux furs, too. If you too are looking to Winklemaxx your way through autumn and winter, I've rounded up her best coats from the most recent series below.

Shop: Claudia Winkleman's Best Coats From The Traitors

Made from wool and woven in Italy, & Other Stories also has a similar grey coat designed with 80s-style sharp shoulders and a double-breasted fastening.

Thomas Markle, the estranged father of the Duchess of Sussex, has been arrested by federal agents in Florida in connection with an investigation into child sexual abuse material.

The 82-year-old was taken into custody near Tampa on Friday morning, according to the Associated Press. The specific charges against Markle have not yet been disclosed, and further details about the circumstances of his arrest have not been confirmed.

The arrest follows an investigation into allegations that child sexual abuse images were found among belongings at his former home in Cebu City, in the Philippines. Philippine police previously said they had discovered files containing suspected child sexual abuse material while searching the property under a warrant issued on October 29.

Authorities have been examining computers, phones and other storage devices as part of their inquiries. The FBI has been working with Philippine investigators, while Mexican authorities have also reportedly searched a storage unit previously used by Markle.

Markle has strongly denied the allegations. In an interview with the Daily Mail last month, he described them as 'sick lies' and said he had no knowledge of the material.

His arrest comes days after Meghan, who has been estranged from her father since 2018, issued a statement in response to the news.

What has Meghan Markle said about her father's child sexual abuse allegations?

‘I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed,’ she said.

The Duchess also revealed that a letter containing what she described as 'troubling and disturbing allegations' about her father had been sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection in 2018. She said the letter was subsequently shared with her and that she had been given assurances the claims were being investigated.

Meghan said her decision to remain estranged from her father, and not allow him contact with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, had been made to protect them.

Any distance from my father was to protect my children.

'I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications' distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children, was for one reason: to protect them,' she said.

The allegations first came to light after Meghan's half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr, claimed he had discovered a large collection of images among his father's belongings in the Philippines. He reported the material to authorities in July, prompting an investigation involving Philippine police and the FBI.

On Thursday, Philippine officials also named Markle Jr as a person of interest in their inquiry, although they stressed he was not being treated as a suspect. He has denied wrongdoing.

The investigation has also prompted scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police's handling of the 2018 letter. The force referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct last week over its failure to pass the allegations on to relevant overseas law enforcement agencies at the time.

Markle has been estranged from Meghan since the run-up to her wedding to Prince Harry in May 2018. He did not attend the ceremony after becoming embroiled in controversy over staged paparazzi photographs and suffering a heart attack shortly before the wedding. King Charles, then Prince of Wales, walked Meghan down the aisle in his place.

Markle has denied the allegations. No conviction has been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The 2022 production of Suzie Miller’s play Prima Facie was not just a critical success – winning a slew of accolades and an Olivier award for its star Jodie Comer – its cultural impact prompted real-word change. The powerful story of Tessa, a criminal defence barrister whose view of the legal system is turned upside down when she is sexually assaulted, highlighted the need for trauma-informed policing and judicial processes. In response to the play, one British judge rewrote their standard jury directions for rape cases. In Northern Ireland a filmed version of the play has been used to train judges overseeing sexual assault trials.

Now, a film adaptation of Prima Facie, starring Cynthia Erivo in the role of Tessa, is coming to cinemas, and its director Susanna White hopes it will continue to stoke the fires of change, and get new audiences thinking – and talking.

‘It’s such an important topic, and I wanted to make a film that was saying something that mattered,’ says White. ‘One puts so much one's life into a film as a director, so I really wanted to make something that counted, that would make have an impact on people.’

As a director, White admired Miller’s deft handling of such a complex and sensitive subject matter: ‘Suzie dealt with such serious material with lightness of touch and humour and intelligence – and subtlety. A lot of the questions around consent are quite nuanced, in those areas of grey, and that's what I liked about it so much. I felt it would speak to a lot of women, given that one in three women experience sexual assault.’

White’s extensive body of work includes TV adaptations of Bleak House (for which she won a BAFTA) and Parade’s End, the spy thriller Our Kind Of Traitor, and the Emmy-nominated Iraq war drama Generation Kill. Her adaptation of Prima Facie has been four years in the making, and she spent time with criminal barristers and observed rape trials to understand the realities of our adversarial court system.

‘I was very interested in all the cross examination; you can trip people up quite easily if they misremember things. There is an element in which you're trying to win a game,’ she says, adding: ‘The most shocking thing for me is how few cases actually come to court. And then how tough it is to get a conviction. There's a big difference between the law and justice.'

White also visited Rape Crisis centres to speak to professionals who help survivors of sexual violence. That led her to cast a real-life doctor and nurse in the film, as well as two ex-policeman for the scene where Tessa reports her assault. It’s not the first time White has cast non-actors in her work ‘but particularly in this context, I wanted it to feel very grounded’.

Another point of realism that White was keen to include, is the lengthy wait survivors face for their case to make it to court (an average of 424 days according to the latest Government figures). ‘People have to wait so long, and a lot of people bail [from the process]. It's another barrier,’ says White. ‘People lose heart and are more likely to give up. Marking that time passing was very important to me.’

Unlike the play, which features Tessa as the only character, the film opens up her world – we see her colleague turned attacker (played by Daniel Ings), her co-workers and her family. In one particularly tender scene Tessa’s mother, played by Noma Dumezweni, changes her daughter’s bed sheets following her rape. ’One of the things I wanted the film to do was look not just at Tessa, but how an assault can affect a whole family, affect people around you, affects colleagues,’ says White. ‘Lives are completely changed by it.’

The film ends on a defiant note: ‘I think there is light at the end of it, which is about solidarity and passing the baton and standing together.’ White firmly believes that ‘the law can evolve - and there's a willingness from within the law. I really, really think we can bring about change.’ She knows firsthand that activism can lead to change. ‘I never saw myself as very political with a “big P” but I've worked campaigning for diversity and inclusion amongst directors; when I started out, there weren't that many women directing - and now we see a lot more women doing it.’

In the UK, we’re already seeing green shoots of legal reform, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham accelerating both the roll-out of fast-track courts for rape and serious sexual assault cases, and the implementation of specialists teams within police forces.

As part of the film’s release, there is an outreach campaign connecting with women working in criminal law along with charities and organisations that advocate for survivors of sexual violence - ‘we're involving that whole community in amplifying the message of the film', says White.

As for audiences, White hopes they will channel their emotional response to the film into action: ‘Usually, people are in tears at the end, and there's a shocked silence before people stop processing and reacting,’ she says. ‘I want people to come out and start having a conversation.’

Need something more formal for work? A sharp tailored wool design will always be a classic. A long, tailored coat can anchor any winter outfit. Not only will it elevate your work look, but you can team with a slouchy sweater and jeans for a more relaxed silhouette. Not sure on colour, go for grey. This is the ideal shade to coordinate with other tones you may have in your winter wardrobe. Our pick? This grey wool-rich maxi coat with its relaxed boxy fit, double-breasted fastening and peak lapels.

If there’s one thing Rhode knows how to do, it’s keep us in a perpetual beauty chokehold. From Glazing Milk to Pocket Blush, the brand has mastered the art of a viral launch, and its latest drop is no exception.

As soon as I tried Lip Shape, I knew it wasn't your average lip liner. Instead, a lip contour designed to enhance and sculpt for a plumper, fuller effect. Think of it as the Peptide Lip Treatment’s more defined, shape-enhancing sibling, packed with peptides and amino acids to subtly cheat your way to a pillowy pout. As soon as the brand launched three new colours, naturally, I had to get my hands on them.

Now, I’m never without a lip liner, balm, or gloss in my routine, whether I’m dashing to the shops or grabbing an (iced) coffee. First impressions? Creamy. The thick pencil instantly gave me REFY's Blur Liner vibes (one of my go-to products for a fuller lip without precise over-lining). But unlike traditional liners, Lip Shape has a satin, creamy texture that glides on effortlessly - no dryness, no chalkiness.

Shop: Rhode Lip Shape

24

While it sits somewhere between a liner and a lipstick, its satin formula means you’ll need the occasional top-up. But what it lacks in wear time, it makes up for in comfort. Unlike firmer lip pencils that lock in colour to prevent smudging, Lip Shape feels weightless - almost balm-like - and enhances the lips in a way that looks effortless.

The shade range is also incredibly impressive, especially with the three new additions to the extensive universally flattering neutrals designed to complement a variety of skin tones - meaning no harsh lines or unnatural undertones. I tried all three shades and to say I have three new favourite lip liners would be an understatement. As someone with fair to light skin, all three lip liners worked perfectly for me. Hailey added three new shades to her lip liner collection, including Push - a soft neutral beige, Squeeze – a cool taupe, and Jump – a chocolate brown. These new shades make the perfect light, medium and deep shades to contour and outline the lips, cheat that perfect pout and emulate Hailey's signature lip look.

Reviewers are also obsessed, with one calling it the 'perfect lip liner' and another raving about its 'buttery, smooth' application. And honestly? Us too.

I paired it with Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatment, and the result was exactly what I’d hoped for - hydrated, plump-looking lips that stayed fresh throughout the day (with just a couple of touch-ups). If you’re after a liner that doubles as an all-over lip colour and works well with gloss, this one belongs on your radar.

Martine Rose is the name on everyone's lips right now, the British-Jamaican designer has just landed one of the biggest jobs in the industry, taking the creative director reins at Balenciaga. If you're not quite familiar with her name yet, chances are you've already spotted her designs on your favourite celebrities. Rihanna is a fan, Hailey Bieber has worn her pieces and Timothée Chalamet even made a case for her tailoring at the London premiere of A Complete Unknown all on a lime bike. Basically, she's been dressing the cool crowd for years. Now, she's about to have one of fashion's biggest houses as her playground. So, who exactly is Martine Rose?

Born and raised in London to a British-Jamaican family, Rose established her eponymous label in 2007. What started as a small menswear collection has since grown into one of British fashion's most influential independent labels, earning her a loyal following among stylists, celebrities and the fashion people.

Her designs are rooted in the London she knows, taking inspiration from music, football, rave culture, streetwear and the characters who make up the city's many subcultures. There's a distinctly British sensibility running through her work, with a playful approach to masculinity and the rules of getting dressed.

And then there are the trainers, Rose has made quite the impression on the footwear world, most notably with her Nike Shox MR4 collaboration. The heeled, mule-like take on Nike's familiar Shox trainer became a cult favourite, appearing on moodboards and on the feet of eclectic dressers. Beyond the trainers, her oversized track jackets and football shirts have become coveted pieces in their own right.

As mentioned before, Martine Rose has been dressing the A-list for years. You might have seen Rose's work before you knew her name. Rihanna has worn her designs, as has Hailey Bieber, and Timothée Chalamet is another notable fan. Her celebrity following is hardly limited to those three, either. Kendrick Lamar wore a custom Martine Rose leather varsity jacket, with bootcut jeans during his Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.

Although this is her first time taking the top creative job at a major fashion house, Rose isn't entirely new to Balenciaga. Between 2015 and 2018, she worked as a menswear consultant under Demna, helping shape the house's collections during a particularly influential period.

Rose's appointment feels like an interesting new chapter for the house. Balenciaga has long played with the relationship between streetwear and luxury, particularly during Demna's tenure, and Rose understands that territory better than most. There's also a significant milestone attached to the appointment: Rose becomes the first woman to take the creative director role at Balenciaga in its 109 year history. In doing so, she becomes only the second Black woman ever to lead design at a major luxury house, after Grace Wales Bonner took over Hermès menswear last year.

She officially starts on November 16, so we won’t have to wait that long to see what her vision for the house looks like. But given her track record, don't expect business as usual. Balenciaga could be in for a rather interesting new era.

After having claimed to be the victim of a ‘witch-hunt’, Russell Brand has been found guilty in his rape and sexual assault trial.

The comedian, who made a career bragging about his sexual exploits, was convicted on Thursday of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others on allegations dating back years.

After the jury delivered their guilty verdict, Brand’s legal team initially requested bail for the TV star to say goodbye to his children. The Judge denied bail on the possibility that Brand may flee. ‘I regret the hardship caused to the children, of course,’ the judge said. ‘But the hardship has been caused by serious criminal offending by their father.’

Should he face prison time, Brand - who was once married to popstar Katy Perry - will leave behind his family, who supported him throughout his trial.

Does Russell Brand have children?

Russell Brand shares three children with his wife, Laura Gallacher. Gallacher - who first met the comedian when she was a teenager - was there when the guilty verdict was delivered.

Brand and Gallacher are parents to three children: daughters Mabel, 10, and Peggy, eight, as well as a son, three, whose name has never been publicly revealed. When giving evidence during the trial in support of her husband, Gallacher described Brand as being ‘caring, kind, and a wonderful father to our children.’

In 2017, after becoming a parent of the first time, Brand described fatherhood as having had a ‘profound’ effect on him.

‘When I saw [my daughter], I felt something switch on - this sense of very determined and clear purpose,’ he told John Bishop in Conversation. ‘I felt this candid, plain, all-encompassing love of this child. This surging, ridiculous, giddy love. I feel like everybody deserves this love.’

Does Russell Brand have any siblings, and who are his parents?

Brand does not have any siblings, having been the only child of photographer Ronald ‘Ron’ Henry Brand and Barbara Elizabeth Brand.

Barbara largely raised Russell on her own, after she and Ronald separated when their son was still an infant. Russell had previously described his relationship with his father as being ‘strange,’ admitting that they were distant. He described spending his early childhood seeing his father as an ‘absent yet sort of heroic’ figure who would sporadically turn up on special occasions, such as birthdays.

After his son's guilty verdict was announced, Russell's father Ron broke his silence. He told the BBC that he was 'bemused and shocked' by the conviction, quoted as saying, 'I didn't expect this - it's wrong. It's devastating.'

In 2018, Barbara was involved in a severe, life-threatening hit-and-run car crash that left her with a broken neck, broken back, and internal injuries. Brand swiftly cancelled the rest of his Rebirth tour, telling fans he couldn’t ‘imagine performing at the moment, I feel too sad and too connected to this.’

Giving an update on his mother’s health not long after while appearing on an episode of Loose Women, Brand shared, ‘She’s had cancer six times. She’d only finished chemo a month before the crash. So she’s still sort of having to go for regular checks and that. She bounces right back - the woman wants to live. She’s full of spirit.'

Over the last four weeks, Russell Brand has been on the front page of every newspaper, at the centre of a major trial delving into serious allegations of sexual abuse.

Now, the comedian and actor has officially been found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The former TV star faced seven charges, dating from 1999 to 2009, concerning six women. He was acquitted of three charges.

During the trial, Brand was described as a calculated and manipulative sexual predator, who treated women as a ‘disposable commodity’ and a ‘means to an end’. David Roberts, senior prosecutor in the London rape and serious sexual assault unit, said in a statement that the comedian ‘used his celebrity status to commit sexual crimes’.

With news of his conviction, many people are looking back at his relationships and career – particularly his short-lived marriage to Katy Perry. The singer was not allowed to be mentioned by prosecutors during the trial, after the defense team made objections.

Given that several of the allegations took place during their relationship, it's likely fans will wonder what really happened between Katy Perry and Russell Brand. We take a look back at their complete relationship timeline.

How did Russell Brand and Katy Perry meet?

The former couple met in 2009 at the height of their fame, when Katy (then 25) made a cameo appearance in Russell's (then 35) film Get Him to the Greek. Rumour has it, they met again later that year at the MTV Video Music Awards and began dating soon afterwards.

When did Russell Brand and Katy Perry start dating?

Russell Brand and Katy Perry began dating in late 2009. Only three months later in December, Russell asked Katy to marry him while the pair were on holiday in India.

When did Russell Brand and Katy Perry get married?

One year later on 23 October 2010, the couple got married at the Ranthambore Tiger Sanctuary in Rajasthan, India. The ceremony took place at a luxury resort in the reserve and was attended by close friends and family.

It's believed that the couple had a Hindu ceremony, which lasted six days, with guests wearing saris.

Are there pictures from Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s wedding?

There are not many pictures from their wedding in the public domain. It's clear that there was a great deal of security surrounding the wedding and that Katy and Russell's guests were followed by paparazzi during their stay.

Rumour has it, their wedding was a lavish celebration and the couple got matching tattoos and arrived on elephants.

Why did Russell Brand and Katy Perry get divorced?

In her Vogue cover interview in 2013, Katy revealed that Russell ended their relationship via text message just as she was about to go out on stage on New Year's Eve in 2011. Answering a question about whether they'd stayed in contact following the divorce, Katy said, 'Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.'

Russell later confirmed that the 'undulating nature of fame' and Katy's touring schedule contributed towards his decision to end their relationship. He also later used their 14-month marriage as a punchline in his standup sets, saying 'marriage is a bond that can last up to 14 months'.

And Katy reflected on their marriage again in a 2020 interview with Vogue India and spoke about how it affected her mental health. She said, 'I became depressed and I did not want to get out of bed. In the past, I had been able to overcome it, but this time something happened that made me fall down too many flights of stairs. I had to really go on a mental health journey.'

What does Katy Perry say about Russell Brand?

In 2013, Katy reflected on her marriage for the first time speaking with Vogue. She said, 'At first when I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they’re like, "I can’t handle the equalness."' {#eHk0eM94mku}

During the interview, she also alluded to his 'very controlling' behaviour, especially during her tours, which placed a significant strain on their relationship. {#eZ7UQW-8fVQ}

'I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth,' she said at the time without going into further detail. She said she keeps the truth 'locked in my safe for a rainy day' adding that she 'let go and I was like: This isn’t because of me; this is beyond me'.

Why do people think the lyrics to 'Wide Awake' are about Russell Brand?

Katy Perry's song 'Wide Awake' is about the reality of moving on after a break up and many people believe it was written about her relationship with Russell Brand.

The song came out in 2012 shortly after the couple got divorced, and features lyrics such as, 'I wish I knew then, what I know now/ Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down/ Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet/ 'Til I woke up on, on the concrete.'

Who is Katy Perry married to now?

Katy Perry is in a relationship with former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. They've been together for over a year, but officially hard-launched their romance in December 2025.

She was previously engaged to British actor Orlando Bloom and the former couple have one daughter together, Daisy Dove.

Who is Russell Brand married to now?

In 2016, Russell and Laura welcomed their first child, a daughter called Mabel. In August 2017, they got married in an intimate church ceremony near their home in Henley-on-Thames. And in 2018, they welcomed a second daughter called Peggy. In late 2023, they announced the arrival of a son, whose name they haven't publicly shared.

However, the comedian came under fire when he revealed that he is a hands-off parent and his wife does the majority of the work. In 2017 he told The Guardian, 'I’ve never had domesticity before. Most of my life has been an extension of the grandiose idea of what glamour would look like if it had to have a kitchen.

'And I feel sometimes like a refugee in my house with this woman, this calm, beautiful woman, who in the most beautiful way possible doesn’t care about what I do. She’s not interested, in the most delightful way.'

What has Katy Perry said about the Russell Brand rape conviction?

Katy Perry has not responded to her ex-husband's conviction, however comments she's made about their marriage in the past – particularly her Vogue interview from 2013 – have received a new wave of attention.

Many fans are now reading into her remarks about his controlling behaviour and their relationship ending because of something 'bigger than her' in a new light.

Why was Katy Perry not mentioned in Russell Brand's trial?

Katy Perry was largely blocked from being spoken about in Russell Brand’s trial. It has been reported that the prosecution had intended to mention the relationship in the opening speech, but had to remove references after objections made by Russell’s legal team.

In legal submissions before the trial began, Ms Karmy-Jones, the lead prosecutor, said: ‘The prosecution recognise that matters post 2009 involving his relationship with Katy Perry may be sensitive, as may his previous faiths, and we are content to remove these from the opening.’

It has also been confirmed by the Crown Prosecution Service that Katy was not asked for a witness statement during the police investigation into Russell. Katy was only referenced once during the four-week trial, when Russell gave evidence to the jury. He said his marriage to the singer catapulted him to ‘staggering fame’.

Take Me Out is reportedly coming back to our screens, but with quite the twist.

The dating show, which was a classic watch in the 2010s, saw a bachelor face a panel of 30 single women. But if the women didn’t fancy the guy, they could turn off the light in their pod. If any lights stayed on after a series of rounds, the man could choose a suitor and whisk her off on a date to the fictional ‘Isle of Fernando’s’ (actually, Tenerife).

You’ll remember Paddy McGuinness as the bubbly host of the original version. However, producers of the show have revealed for the reboot they plan to go in a different direction. This time, they’re reportedly looking for a ‘glamorous female’ to take the reins.

‘Take Me Out was absolutely huge in the 2010s and was a stalwart of the primetime light entertainment schedule,’ a source told The Sun newspaper. ‘Execs at Fremantle, the production company behind the reboot, want to ensure it has the same cheeky tone as the original. That’s what set it apart from more serious dating formats, which rely on beef and drama – and made it such a fun watch.’

Several big names are reportedly in the running – including Olivia Atwood and Emily Atack. Desperate to find out who’ll be delivering iconic lines like ‘let the apple see the pie’? Read on to find out.

Who is the new host of Take Me Out?

Paddy McGuinness, the original host, is said to not be returning for the Take Me Out reboot.

The current names reported as strong contenders for the spot are Rivals star Emily Atack, former Love Islander and TV personality Olivia Attwood, and model and presenter, Leomie Anderson.

‘Emily and Olivia’s quick wit and timing make them favourites,’ a source told The Sun, also adding that Maya Jamawas considered to be a ‘perfect’ option as host, but as she fronts Love Island, it could be ‘tricky’ to get her on board.

At the moment, it’s not set in stone when or how the format will come back to life. ‘Plans are in development now and talks are underway with streamers including Netflix but the landscape of TV is ever-changing, so the reboot could take a number of forms,’ the source told The Sun.

So, we're watching this space for now for the new host...

If there’s one brand I’ve been surprisingly drawn to more and more lately, it’s Next. I’ll be honest, I barely shopped there last year, but after falling down the rabbit hole of Next's new-in section for myself, I inevitably started browsing Next Home, and then, as a mum who probably spends far too much time thinking about her son’s wardrobe, Next Kids.

And now? It’s become something of a one-stop shop. What I really like about Next is that it manages to cover pretty much every category without everything feeling overly samey. Unlike some brands that have a very recognisable signature style or silhouette, I find Next Kids has a really broad appeal. There isn’t one defining aesthetic, which means you can find pieces to suit all sorts of different styles and tastes, and for me, that’s a real plus. There are the practical everyday pieces you actually need, but also plenty of fashion-led pieces that make dressing little ones feel far less predictable.

I’ve ended up coming back to Next throughout the year. In summer, my son wore its pieces on holidays and to beach parties, and I’ve picked up occasionwear for christenings that looked far more expensive than it was. Then there are the nursery staples, multipacks, soft joggers and easy layers, which are the things that really earn their place in his wardrobe.

And it’s the practicality that keeps me coming back. Next does a really good job of making clothes that are designed for actual childhood: pieces that can be layered, played in, washed and worn on repeat. The brand's coats, puffers, puddlesuits, wellies and warmer layers are particularly good for the British weather, while the everyday basics are available in multipacks, which makes sense when you’re dressing a child who somehow manages to get through several outfits before lunchtime.

My son is also quite particular about what he wears, so comfort is non-negotiable. I remember putting a pair of Next trousers on him for nursery and him immediately saying, 'I love this, it’s soft.' And honestly, that’s probably the best review a mum can get.

The new autumn collection has really caught my eye. There’s something about this season’s new additions that feels particularly strong. The pieces have the colourful, playful feel I love about Mini Boden, the practical outerwear you’d usually look to JoJo Maman Bébé for, and some of those really easy, well-made everyday basics that remind me of the simplicity of Uniqlo Kids, but at Next prices.

There’s also a lot more personality in the collections than you might expect. The character pieces are fun without feeling tacky or overly cartoonish, and I particularly love the Toy Story and Peppa Pig collaborations. The shoes and wellies are exactly the sort of pieces I know my son would be excited to wear.

Then there’s Hamish Coo, which might be my favourite. The little Scottish-inspired designs feel genuinely charming, and I can completely see them working for autumn days in the Highlands. There are tractors, animals, colourful prints and plenty of playful motifs throughout the boys’ collection, while the girls’ new-in section has everything from floral padded jackets and denim to tulle, cotton dresses and cosy knitwear.

The baby section is equally good, particularly if you’re looking for multipacks and easy everyday pieces. As a Next avid shopper, I’d also say the sizing can be quite generous, so it’s worth considering sizing down where possible. Next currently covers everything from newborn through to older kids, with younger boys and girls up to 7 and older boys and girls through to 16, so there’s plenty of scope to keep shopping as they grow.

Ultimately, I think that’s what makes Next work so well for a children’s wardrobe. You can find all the practical pieces you need, but there’s also enough variety and good design to keep a wardrobe feeling stylish and personal. From everyday basics to weather-ready layers and more trend-led pieces, it’s a brand that makes sense for everyday and one I find myself coming back to season after season.

So, if you’re looking to give the kids’ wardrobe a little autumn refresh, Next is firmly on my list. Here’s what I’m shopping from the new season.

There is a very specific archetype of the French beauty aesthetic. One that is usually associated with a classic red lip, a wispy fringe, and a chic, jaw-grazing bob. It comes with a certain kind of attitude – one that embraces physical imperfection while possessing that elusive je nais se quoi. Our favourite quintessential French girl? Violette Serrat, of course, the Parisian-based make-up artist and founder of her eponymous beauty brand Violette_Fr, which has just launched into Sephora UK. Beyond her line of hydrating balms, smokey eyeshadows and cream blushes, she never fail to take notes on her signature cool choppy fringe, slick of eyeliner, and statement lip. More recently, it's her autumn nails that have stirred inspiration. Could this be the certified French girl manicure we've been looking for? Absolutely.

Dubbed ‘the hidden garden’ by Danny Tavarez, the New York-based manicurist behind the look, the mani features a deep bordeaux burgundy jelly base with a darker border around the frame of the nail as well as and floral details in the centre. The result is a monochromatic manicure that still manages to bring dimension without taking away from the simplicity of the design. ‘The base and nail art complement each other while still creating enough contrast to make the design subtle but bold,’ says Tavarez.

Needless to say, we are enamored by the French girl-coded manicure. While the nails may appear to be simply a shade of merlot at first glance, a closer look reveals intricate flower designs hidden beneath the perfect veneer of glossy top coat – which seem to fit right in with the manicure attitude for autumn.

‘I think 2026 nail trends are all about having more fun with our manicures and experimenting with designs that feel a little different,’ says Tavarez. Solid colours? Passé. ‘This manicure gives you the best of both worlds because you still get that rich, seasonal colour, but with a little extra detail that makes the nails feel special.’

The GelBottle Inc. Gel Polish in Manor

A show-stopping merlot red that commands attention. It makes for the perfect shade of bordeaux.

The French beauty sported the manicure with what appears to be a black leather jacket, describing her new nail set on Instagram as ‘fall fingertips dipped in deep bordeaux.’ Cosy season, indeed. And while the florals might throw you off at first (florals for autumn? Actually groundbreaking), the autumnal shade of burgundy lends this look a moodier feel.

To create the mani, Tavarez started off with a deep burgundy jelly nail polish for the base. ‘Then, to add depth and keep everything monochromatic, I custom mixed that same jelly polish with black polish to create a darker shade for the border and floral details,’ he adds. The key? Using the same base colour and adjusting the depth with black, so the design feels cohesive while still allowing the nail art to pop.

Overall? There's depth, there’s delicate patterns (abstract florals, mais ouis!) – and above all it’s full of fun and oozes la joie de vivre.

Autumn/winter 2026 is not the time for minimalists. If you're someone who dresses exclusively in beiges and browns, you might want to avert your eyes for this one, as fashion's penchant for joyful dressing is, well and truly, back. On the runways pops of colour were very apparent, with punchy reds, electric blues and acid-bright chartreuse bringing a welcome dose of vibrancy to this season's collections - and the high street reads a similar story.

The colourful sentiment has truly extended to every corner of your wardrobe too. The humble white T-shirt has been given somewhat of a back seat in favour of red, cobalt and 'Quality Street' purple; knitwear is cropping up in unexpected colour combinations, and it seems as if even faux fur jackets have received the colour-wash treatment too. Traditionally the preserve of chocolate browns, blacks and the occasional cream, the faux fur jacket is now coming in a kaleidoscope of different colours - providing an excellent argument for choosing your coat before the rest of your outfit.

To style such a statement piece, cool girls are keeping the rest of their outfits relatively simple. Wear your faux fur coat with a white long-sleeved top and straight-leg jeans for an easy everyday look, or style it over the top of a slip dress and finish your look with tights and heels for an outfit that's more dinner-appropriate.

While there's nothing wrong with naturally reaching for a darker pattern in the autumnal months, a little colour can go a long way when the days get shorter and the wardrobe starts to feel a touch repetitive. The colourful faux fur jacket, rather than being just another practical jacket, is an easy way to introduce a dose of fluffy joy into your everyday outfits. Plus, if we've come to terms with the fact that we will be spending the next six months bundled up in a coat, it might as well be the most extravagant one you can find.

Boys and their toys! You know what I mean: techy bikes and golf clubs, gizmos and things to whack other things with. And coming soon to a man cave near you: the floral corsage.

These brooches have been blooming on the lapels of this autumn's best-dressed men. Last month, there was Barcelona wunderkind Lamine Yamal wearing a pink anemone pinned to his custom Chanel suit at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in London. He didn't pick up the award he really wanted, but was crowned best dressed of the night by the fashion crowd. A week earlier, at the Academy Museum Gala, we got Alexander Skarsgärd in an oversized white Balenciaga shirt with a black floral pin, Justin Timberlake in a Tiffany flower and A$AP Rocky wearing a glitzy Chanel camelia.

And they're not only saying it with flowers. See all-round class act Bukayo Saka, also at the Ballon d'Or, in his Wales Bonner Compass Brooch, handmade by Ghanaian artisans. At the Oscars, this year's Best Actor winner Michael B Jordan wore a high-jewellery star by David Yurman pinned to the back of his collar. But anything they can do... Women are also making a beeline for brooches, pins and corsages. Finally, a gender-neutral accessory for the romantics among us.

Actor Louisa Jacobson, a breakout style star of the year, recently stepped out in a white-hot, plunging pinstripe Tom Ford suit with a tumbling corsage, a slick, sharp, sexy take on the floral plus-one whilst Naomi Watts also adorned a pinstripe blazer and jeans with a corsage brooch, And look at Cynthia Erivo presenting SNL UK, also in pinstripe tailoring (navy Givenchy), accessorised with two spectacular Tiffany & Co. Bird on a Rock brooches designed by Jean Schlumberger for the house in 1965.

For sure, you can find brooches with prohibitive price tags, but part of the reason they are back IRL is the ease. A scrunchy, oversized haberdashery flower can do the job; charity shops are bursting with costume-jewellery versions (pile 'em on). And there's an appealing ease too: a big brooch can instantly transform tired workwear. A lifesaver now party season is rapidly approaching - just make sure your husband/boyfriend/son doesn't get hold of it before you do.

If you’ve finished The Celebrity Traitors and are now in need of your next reality TV fix, may we suggest taking a trip down under? Love Island Australia is back for another season – and yes, there are ways you can watch these attractive-looking Aussies crack on from your home in the UK.

Having premiered on 28 October, there are already a few episodes for you to tuck into of season eight of the dating show. Love Island Australia has the same format as the UK version, so a group of sexy singles coming together in a villa to find love. Maya Jama isn’t the host though, for the Aus version it’s singer, actress, and TV personality Sophie Monk. She is just as glam and fabulous.

How to watch Love Island Australia in the UK

Episodes of Love Island Australia drop at 10am AEDT from Monday to Thursday on 9Now (the streaming service for Australia's Channel 9).

If you're a UK viewer, you'll need to use a VPN to set your location to Australia, so you can catch-up on all the drama as it happens. There are new episodes from Monday to Thursday.

Season eight will also eventually be available to watch on UK streamer ITVX, but there's no confirmed date for that. You can enjoy series five, six, and seven, which are all already on the platform, if you want to binge the Love Island Australia back catalogue.

Where is Love Island Australia filmed?

After a few seasons in Mallorca, Spain, like the UK version, this season is the sizzling heat of Fiji. If you're a fan of Love Island USA, you'll recognise that it's the same villa.

Who is the host of Love Island Australia?

The host of Love Island Australia is Sophie Monk. She's been fronting the show since it launched in 2018, and is no stranger to reality TV, having won season 4 of The Celebrity Apprentice, been a judge on Australia's Got Talent and starred on The Bachelorette Australia's third season.

Lucy Keitley is a writer at Grazia UK, covering news and features. She's interested in female-focused stories and smart cultural analysis on a wide range of topics, whether that’s a hard-hitting societal trend or reality TV.

The courtroom was stunned into silence as the verdicts on Russel Brand’s trial were announced: guilty of one count of rape, and three counts of sexual assault. His wife, Laura Gallacher, sank in her seat before rushing out the courtroom appearing breathless. Brand stared straight ahead, no discernible reaction while his dad, Ron, clasped his hand to his mouth.

It was only when Brand was denied bail that he turned to his lawyers and mouthed ‘I’m OK’ with a thumbs up. Repeating the gesture and saying ‘I’m good, I’m good, I’m good’ as he was remanded into custody. Gallacher did not return to court for his bail application, pictured fleeing the building with another woman who had been holding her hand tightly in court, sat in prayer up until the verdicts were revealed – delivered just nine hours and 13 minutes after deliberations began.

It was the end of a horrifying trial, but just the beginning for Brand who now faces further investigation. Upon the announcement of his verdict, the Met Police said that two more women have alleged rape against Brand, Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy declaring him a ‘danger to women’ and saying more may come forward now.

‘The Met's investigation remains ongoing,’ a spokesperson said. ‘The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations. Files have been submitted to the Crown Prosecution Service in relation to both complainants. Detectives remain in close contact with prosecutors as enquiries continue and further investigative work is carried out.’

For survivors of sexual abuse, the verdict is a powerful message at a time when rape prosecutions are on the rise. Sitting at an abysmal 2% for more than a decade, new data from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) shows that conviction rates have jumped to 63% after years of pressure from women’s rights activists.

When I see powerful men accused, I never believe they’ll face any accountability, because historically they rarely do.

‘I feel incredibly emotional about it,’ Clare*, 37, a rape survivor tells Grazia. ‘I never reported my rapist because I had no faith in the system and I was traumatised already. When I see powerful men [like Brand] accused, I never believe they’ll face any accountability, because historically they rarely do. Seeing this just made me want to cry, I feel such a bittersweet mix of hope that things could actually be changing, and just devastation that I never got to have that kind of justice. It’s hard to be happy when it’s about justice for a crime that shouldn’t happen to any woman, but we know it does to so many. But still, this is hope.’

Paul McGinn, partner in the abuse team at law firm Bolt Burdon Kemp, agrees Brand’s conviction will have an immense impact on how victims view the justice system. ‘It demonstrates that allegations can be thoroughly investigated and tested through the justice system, even when the events in question took place many years ago,’ he explains. ‘While not all of the charges resulted in convictions, the outcome reinforces the principle that no one is above the law and that serious allegations can be heard and considered, regardless of a person's profile or influence.’

Could it mean that more women now come forward about their own experiences? According to Rape Crisis, five in six women who are raped don’t report, with 64% saying they didn’t think the police could or would help. There are also myths around when you should report, some believing if it happened years ago nothing can be done. But in the UK, there is no statute of limitations on rape or sexual assault allegations.

‘High-profile cases like this can be difficult and distressing for survivors to read about, often bringing back painful memories or prompting reflection on their own experiences,’ says McGinn. ‘At the same time, seeing survivors speak out and be heard can be empowering, and may encourage others to seek support, report abuse, or pursue justice when they feel ready.’

In Brand’s trial, the charges dated from 1999 to 2009 and came from six women. The not guilty verdicts included one charge of rape at a hotel in Bournemouth in 1999, a 2001 attempted indecent assault at MTV’s London offices, and a 2004 rape accusation at a bar in Soho. All other charges were guilty: three for sexual assaults of women at parties in 2004, 2005 and 2009 and one for rape at his Hampstead home in 2009.

Given the Met’s new investigation, it’s not over yet, and while it’s harrowing for women to watch play out, perhaps it signals a new era of accountability after all.

The beauty world has long been in pursuit of the perfect pout. Scan your favourite beauty halls and you’ll find defining lip liners, plumping lip glosses, and even skin devices all promising to help you harness the art of fuller-looking lips. I should know, I’ve tried plenty of them and have always found that many fall short on their claims. They leave my lips feeling uncomfortable and the immediate effects often wear off shortly after application. But my newest lip fixation has quickly corrected the wrongs of its predecessors. Enter: the RoC Derm Correxion Lip Volumizer, which is now on sale at Boots and Amazon with 20% off, meaning you can snap it up for just £20.79.

Instead of relying on colour or fancy, expensive tech, RoC’s answer to a plump pout goes big on clever formulation. Developed with dermatologists and plastic surgeons, it works as a non-invasive, topical lip treatment that instantly ‘fills’ lips for visible fullness. But this isn’t just about immediate gratification, RoC’s bestseller also delivers long-term lip care benefits over time, too. In fact, in a clinical study of the product over a four-week period, 90% of participants reported fuller, plumper lips in just three minutes, while lips were found to boast twice the volume by week four.

Inspired by clinical aesthetic treatments, specifically lip injectables, the Lip Volumizer is loaded with 25% filling ingredients. Hyaluronic acid filling spheres work to volumise on contact for immediate fullness and 48 hours of deep hydration, while the brand’s potent Pro-Collagen Peptide smooths, defines, and contours lips over time.

If you thought needles were needed to achieve a more sculpted look, this treatment will quickly prove otherwise. Like other lip plumpers, it feels pricky on application but without that uncomfortable, stinging tinge. Instead, the sensation is gentle, non-irritating, and dissipates quickly as if to merely signal it’s just started to work its magic. Its non-sticky texture means it glides on seamlessly too (helped by the cool tip applicator) and sets to a comfortable finish, which makes it an easy all-day reach. While it may appear like an unctuous clear lip perfecting gloss, it goes well beyond that.

It delivers a natural flush of colour as the formula begins to take its effect and is a real solution for volume loss. The uber-hydrating, refreshing (it smells like mint) formula tends to lacklustre skin, loss of lip definition and fading lips, which all appear with age. But just a single swipe leaves my lips plumper, softer, smoother and more supple. And the pout? Perfect. Mission accomplished.

It's that time of year again, and I know what you're thinking: a Black Friday sale at the beginning of November? But trust me – this is one you want to know about.

I don't know about you, but my taste doesn't quite match my budget. Somehow, almost by instinct, I'm drawn to the most expensive piece on the new-in page, happily adding a £300 basic tee to my (abandoned) shopping basket, all the while I'm still diligently carrying in my Tupperware lunch, overnight oats, and home-brewed coffee to the office to keep costs down. We millennials really knew what we were doing when we penned the phrase 'the math ain't mathing.'

Of course, I've been known to indulge in a payday treat or two; I've thrown caution to the credit card more than a few times in my life. But with bills to pay and a cozzie-livs crisis to catastrophise over, sorting through the literal and digital racks of the high street is where you'll more often than not find me.

So, I've put my truffle pig nose to good use and searched through the internet to find the most expensive-looking pieces on the high street this month. From some purple jeans from Zara to velvet flats from Parfois, here's what I found.

It seems MomTok has claimed yet another relationship, with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck having filed for divorce from her husband, Zac Affleck.

According to court reports, 27 year old Jen - who is currently pregnant with the couple’s fourth baby - has filed for divorce from Zac, 30, after eight years together and seven years of marriage. TMZ first broke the news, having obtained a petition for divorce filed by Jen in the state of Utah on Tuesday 3 November, 2026. They claimed that the reality TV star also submitted a proposed parenting plan, although court records did not reveal the reason for the split or what custody arrangements Jen is seeking.

A source later told People that the Zac is ‘doing okay,’ with the couple ‘staying focused on preparing for the baby and supporting their kids.’

In recent years, Jen and Zac - who are parents to Nora, five, Luca, three, and Penelope, 16 months, with their fourth child expected to be born before the end of the year - have faced multiple hurdles in their marriage, as documented on the Disney+ reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Following fallouts with Whitney Leavitt, the couple have since distanced themselves from their MomTok crowd. Jen and Zac recently relocated from Utah to Southern California to join the cast of the spin-off The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, with it thought that the pair’s marriage troubles might feature in the upcoming show.

So, why has Jen split from Zac? While we’ll likely have to wait for SLOMW: OC to see the dynamic between these two, the pair have been candid in the past about the troubles they faces in their relationship.

Why has Jen Affleck filed for divorce from Zac Affleck?

As of yet, neither Jen nor Zac have addressed the news.

However, Jen did recently reveal that life changes - including preparing to welcome another child and moving to California - had placed stress on their relationship. Talking to People in August, Jen shared, ‘It’s been a lot the past couple of months, I’ll be honest. But I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day.’

While Jen didn’t mention any divorce, she did admit that the couple had been ‘navigating a lot behind closed doors.’

A big part of their story has been Jen’s struggles with prenatal and postpartum depression. During her last pregnancy, Jen revealed on Instagram that she faced ‘months filled with ups and downs,’ eventually checking herself into a wellness retreat to focus on ‘healing and working through trauma.’

Now pregnant with her fourth child, Jen revealed that she once again struggled with prenatal depression during her first trimester. ‘I could not be there for my kids, and so Zac really had to show up,’ she explained, adding that ‘he didn’t really have a choice.’ Jen continued by saying she ‘wouldn’t have survived the first trimester’ if it wasn’t for Zac, whom she met back in 2018 on the Mormon dating app Mutual.

The couple have also battled split rumors in the past, with fans long speculating that their constant bickering was a signal of trouble.

During season one, the pair opened up about facing marital struggles, with Jen admitting they entered filming in a ‘rocky place.’ Tensions mounted over Zac’s gambling and Jen’s decision to attend a Chippendales show, and by season two, viewers saw the couple take time apart as they learned Jen was pregnant with their third child. She eventually stopped filming midway through season two after facing mental health struggles, returning the following season.

Although therapy seemed to bring the pair initially closer, season five of SLOMW illustrated more rocky moments. Jen opened up on the show about her goals to become an actress and appear in a Sports Illustrated photoshoot - ambitions which left Zac feeling uncomfortable.

Back in November 2025, Jen opened up about the toll the rumors were having on her and Zac’s relationship. ‘It can be tiring and draining, just because it gets old having to hear the same things,’ she explained. ‘For me, I’m like, people will always talk and people will always have their opinions, and I think it is frustrating for him when people don’t see what’s happening behind closed doors and how much work and effort he’s putting in.’

‘It’s hard to have to constantly open your phone and see negative comments, and it’s hard to not take that in,’ she continued. ‘Even if you say you don’t take it in, subconsciously we all care to a certain point.’

Braun Smart IPL Skin i·Expert, at-Home Hair Removal Device

**:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director**, says: 'I've been using this tool consistently for the past six months. While the brand says you'll see visible results after the first use, this wasn't the case for me. I didn't see a reduction in hair until around the one-month mark – but I was still seriously impressed. It takes just 10 minutes for a full body treatment – legs, arms, chest, back, face, underarms and even the pubic area are all a-goers thanks to the specially dedicated heads. It comes with built-in skin protection, and the UV filter offers you maximum safety and optimal results – it's the only IPL that automatically adapts every flash to your skin tones. The online reviews speak for themselves, with each suggesting that smooth, hair-free limbs were theirs within weeks. This was the case for me – there wasn't any pain as such, but a definite 'ping' with each flash of the device. I also appreciate the fact that it works with my natural skin tone, removing the guesswork and allowing for the most effective IPL hair removal with consistent use. Hooked.'

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x™ multi-styler and dryer

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer,** says, 'As a long-time fan of the original, I jumped at the news of a new and improved Dyson Airwrap. Having used the OG every week since I got my hands on one, I have come to rely on its ability to easily and efficiently dry and style my hair in record time. It doesn't matter if I fancy rocking a bouncy blowout or romantic curls, my Airwrap quickly helps me to create the look with little to no faff. Restricting heat damage is super important to me as my number one priority is to maintain the healthy feel and shine of my long hair, so I am intrigued to discover how the new Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x will bolster that protection with an all-new sensor system, which helps to take the guesswork out of styling. While I love my Airwrap, I'm not the best at remembering to clean out the filter, which, from experience, if poorly maintained, can actually ruin your tool completely. So, I welcome the addition of the sensor, which will help me to keep on top of things. Everything considered, Dyson seems to have really up the ante once again with its newest offering.'

Ziip Dot

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer**, says: 'I first decided to try the Ziip Dot in a desperate attempt to calm an acne flair up the night before a bridal shower. Getting breakouts is a very unpredictable experience but for me they've been known to rear their heads right before a big event, so treating my skin within such a short window felt like asking for a miracle. But to my (very big) surprise, the Ziip Dot delivered. When I patch tested the product initially, I felt the sting of using it without the Clear Gel, so the second time around I did as instructed and layered two to three pumps of the gel onto my skin before rotating the device around both areas of my cheeks where I had broken out. The next morning, I woke up to skin that was calmer, less red and angry, and the two pustules on my cheeks had shed their white tinge and deflated. That was all after a single 90-second treatment on each cheek. Will I use the Dot again? I absolutely cannot wait.'

Ziip Halo

******:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director,****** says, 'I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this one. Even though I know full well the electrical currents aren’t strong enough to hurt, I was still apprehensive to actually crack on. After applying the conductor gel I found the device glided across my skin easily. The sensation _is_ a strange one. It’s certainly not painful, but it is a little twitchy. Let’s call it tingly - but not uncomfortable. And the app really does make things feel fool-proof. The clear instructions assured me that I was using the ZIIP correctly and made it feel more like a professional treatment as opposed to a speedy 'glide and go', which I’d definitely be guilty of otherwise. Instead, I knew to hug the contours of my face and move in gentle, sweeping motions. After using it just once I saw a difference. This is quite something in the world of beauty, where instant results are rare. There was a noticeable ‘lift’ around my cheekbones and chin, and I looked considerably less puffy. I’m prone to redness and found my skin appeared blotchy immediately afterwards, but I’m putting this down to the fact I had given my face a good workout and boosted blood flow – the redness faded pretty quickly. Use this consistently - upwards of 3 times a week - and you'll likely see results that will justify the price tag. It requires discipline, and the immediate results soon fade if you’re not committing to regular use. My only gripe? Aesthetics. For such an expensive product the finish isn't as premium-looking as you'd expect – especially where the metallic top meets the cream plastic. This doesn't alter its performance; I'm still impressed with the results, and that should be all that counts, but I do think that as you see this product evolve over the next few years, the design will be elevated.'

Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Airstyler

**:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director**, says, 'I've had the Shark for about a year now, and it’s become integral to my haircare routine. I typically wash my hair before bed and style it in the evening. While it still looks pretty good come morning (I love a bouncy blow-dry), I’ll refresh with the Shark once more before heading to work, and I’m good to go. It's salon-worthy hair, all with minimal effort. While the brand does say that there’s no heat damage involved, I’m still wary – I’ll always apply a hefty dose of heat protection just to be sure. I honestly think the Shark is worth making a play for. I find the tool simple to use and can easily flit between hairstyles – I'll go for a straight and sleek one day and wear it curly and voluminous the next. And let's have a moment for the oval brush attachment in particular – it's become my holy grail of haircare. It’s made with a combination of boar and plastic bristles and makes light work of de-frizzing the halo of shorter hairs that sit around my hairline. Since incorporating this one into my routine, the compliments have come reeling in, and my hair looks healthy and shiny. Of course, sale or not, it _is_ still an investment. But truly? I’d make it in a heartbeat.’ Read our :a[full review here]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/beauty-hair/hair/shark-flexstyle-air-wrap-review/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}

Shark FacialPro Glow +DePuffi

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer, says:** 'When I say I'm committed to at-home skin tech, I mean it. Currently, I have an :a[acne-fighting micro-current device]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/beauty-hair/skin/ziip-dot-review/?/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} and an LED face mask perched on my bedside table and I use them religiously to give my skin an extra boost. So, when news of Shark's new FacialPro Glow +DePuffi device began to circulate, I was all ears. Admittedly, it took me a couple of minutes to wrap my head around the innovation. As a clever piece of kit, it's not so much a touch-and-go tool but rather something you need to get acquainted with. For that reason alone, I'd say this tool is for those of use that are seriously invested in the at-home spa cause. Once you're up and running though, things are smoother. The exfoliating treatment feels very thorough - the murky build-up in the gunk tank reservoir proves its power - and left my skin feeling instantly refreshed, revived and radiant, you'll be pleased to know the glow is real. But the real winner for me was the DePuffi, with six adjustable temperature settings that seamlessly flick from cryotherapy to thermotherapy, it not only feels calming to use but works wonders at chiselling and boosting an overall glow.'

ghd Chronos Max

**:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director, says:** 'I’m really careful about the levels of heat I use on my hair. I have blonde highlights that are very prone to breakage - if I don’t brush carefully enough then my hair _will_ snap. The fact that the Chronos Max promises no extreme heat damage (thanks to its ability to remain at the optimum styling temperature of 185°C) really appeals to me. The research behind the tool is impressive - ghd claim it ‘delivers up to 90% more shine, reduces frizz by 2.5%, and leaves hair up to 3x straighter in just one stroke, - with no extreme heat damage. These are stats that are undeniably reassuring to those with hair similar to my own. While my hair isn’t necessarily thick, I do have a lot of it and it falls beyond my shoulders.  I found the width of the plates (85% larger) glided through sizeable sections of my hair with ease while the thinner edges (24%, to be exact) allowed me to get close to my wiry roots and tame my halo of frizz. It’s fair to say I did see an improvement in the look of my hair once I’d styled it - I think this is due to the longevity of the style. My hair really holds when styled with the Chronos Max meaning I don’t have to over style - I typically get 2 days of curls before I consider a refresh.'

CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask

:a[**Georgia Scott**]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/georgia-scott/' }, **beauty commerce writer says**: 'I was lucky enough to be invited to CurrentBody's clinic, and I snapped up the opportunity to find out more about the brand and the benefits of LED Light Therapy. At the clinic, you can book in for a variety of treatments, from Hydrafacials to Radiofrequency, but the question still remains: how can you continue to see results after leaving a facial? I discovered that CurrentBody's LED Red Light Therapy Mask uses deep near-infrared light to reduce the visible signs of ageing on the deeper levels of the dermis. The brand created this mask to allow us to see salon-style results without having to leave our sofas.The fact that I can treat my skin to light therapy and sit and enjoy a film at the same time is nothing short of heavenly. I've only been using this mask for a couple of weeks, but after consistent use, I can already see differences in my skin. My pigmentation has started to look better, my typically dull, dry skin looks more plump and radiant, and I feel more confident going make-up free (even just popping to the supermarket). Not only do I love the element of self-care, but the clinically proven results make me want to continue to use this mask regularly and make it worth the investment.'

Dyson Airstrait

**:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director, says:** 'When I first set eyes on the Dyson Airstrait, I can’t deny that I was excited. I’ve got naturally wiry hair and dealing with flyways is always high on my list of beauty bug bears. As a result, I’ll often blow-dry my hair before going in with the straightening irons and finally, my trusty curlers. Perhaps then, this new tool could be the answer to my haircare prayers.First impressions - it’s pretty and it’s satisfyingly quiet. The slick metallic design and lightweight feel make it a pleasure to use. On the day my hair was styled by celebrity hairstylist Larry King (who counts Karlie Kloss as a fan) and I've only just been able to get a sample of my own to use it myself. The results were impressive - even without a celebrity hairdresser to hand. My hair went from looking unruly and dry, to smooth, silky and soft – all in a breezy 15 minutes. If you’re someone who likes to have smoother hair (that's not poker straight) or, if like me, you tend to straighten your hair before curling it, then the :a[Dyson Airstrait]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/beauty-hair/hair/dyson-airstrait-review/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'} could be just the ticket.'

Lyma Laser Pro

**What the brand says:** The LYMA Laser PRO takes the unrivalled power of the LYMA Laser and triples it. Revolutionary clinical-grade cold laser technology, engineered to make skin look younger by triggering a genetic switch inside each cell. Skin is dramatically transformed; wrinkles are radically improved; elasticity is restored; sagging is reversed, and pigmentation is faded. Bigger lens. Faster results. There is good reason why Lyma boasts a loyal legion of celebrity fans and expert facialists. As one of the most powerful at-home laser devices on the market, it works at a cellular level 10cm below the skin surface to transform skin from the inside out. **:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer, says:** 'I've been following Lyma since it first launched to market with a revolutionary all-in-one supplement that targets skin, sleep and stress simultaneously. But the brand's laser tech really proves its edge over the industry. There is much to be said for its impressive category defining approach, but for me the Lyma Laser wins by its inclusive nature. Unlike other lasers which aren't suitable for deep skin tones due to concerns over scaring, the Lyma Laser has been optimised for all as it doesn’t rely on damaging skin in order to renew it. Very refreshing indeed.' Read :a[our full review here]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/beauty-hair/skin/lyma-laser-review/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}

Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro Mask

A two-in-one tool, the mask is suitable for acne-prone skin as well as for diminishing the look of wrinkles, discolouration and fine lines. By harnessing bursts of red and blue LED light, it supports the production and renewal of cells, promoting a clearer complexion. Red LED light helps to support the skin’s natural elastin and collagen for a firmer, plumper appearance. Meanwhile, blue LED light works to combat the bacteria that contribute to acne and breakouts. You can choose either individual light setting or opt for a combined treatment that lasts three minutes. **:a[Maria Papakleanthous]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/maria-papakleanthous/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty assistant, says:** 'The light felt intense yet calming and far more tolerable to the eyes than the big LED machines found in salons. The sleek rose-gold design fitted firmly to my face and naturally inspired a mid-treatment selfie session (of course I had to commemorate the moment I looked like a cool alien). Although the results after a few uses have not been groundbreaking, I have noticed that the odd breakout looks far less inflamed after each treatment. In terms of texture, my skin appears dewier and more even, and my pores look visibly minimised.'

Foreo FAQ LED Panel

If you're on the hunt for a Christmas gift for a serious skincare savant, consider this. It's made up of 256 ultra-pure LEDs that deliver five of the most clinically studied wavelengths to tackle deep wrinkles, fine lines, acne, pigmentation, uneven texture and dullness. **:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty writer, says:** 'As a LED face mask devotee, I has high hopes for this next-gen LED panel and I'm pleased to say it delivers. It's benefits range from healthier skin and hair, more energised mornings, muscle and joint relief, and better sleep and immunity. While you need to use the panel daily to see results, I can confirm it doesn't fall short on its claims. With daily use, I have seen an improvement in the look of my skin - my breakouts are less regular and intense, and my skin generally feels less inflamed - and I feel less lethargic in the mornings. My only caveat is that you need to plug it in to use it, which means you'll need to sit tight during the session unlike LED face masks, but that comes with the territory of a next level piece of tech that requires some power.'

****:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, beauty director**, says:** 'First impressions? I’m impressed. The Nira is nifty and easy to use. You simply press the button and let it get to work – it’s over in mere minutes, saving precious time. I’ve been focusing on my eye area and, while I haven’t been testing it long enough to see visible results yet, I do like the warmth it creates - it definitely feels as though something is happening. And be rest assured there's no pain whatsoever. I also love that it pairs with the app, meaning I can track my progress.

How we tested the best beauty tech 2026

We're well versed in testing tech on the Grazia beauty team - it's not an exaggeration to say we've put our heads together to test hundreds over the past few years. Our beauty cupboard is brimming with the stuff. Here, you'll see our top rated tech products that we know will make excellent Christmas gifts. In order to get a true understanding of how each product performed we made sure to test consistently for at least a week for hair products, and at least three months for skin tech - where our testing times were any shorter, we'll mark clearly. It may sound obvious, but considering that beauty tech often means serious investment, we won't include anything here that isn't the gold standard. If we didn't see the results promised, then it didn't make this list.

If you consume a handful of US-based podcasts like me, then you'll have heard of Quince. Lauded by the floating voices in my ear for years as creating the comfiest bedding, softest baby clothes and, yes, finest quality, but lowest cost cashmere for years in various ads, when I heard the tech-backed fashion brand was coming to the UK, my interest was piqued.

Around this time of year, when the clocks have changed and the thermostat is getting turned up, is when I typically consider my cashmere purchases for the season. From a chic wrap to a thick, cosy knit, the cashmere items on my wish list, all of high quality, excellent provenance and elegant design, rarely move from wish list to checkout, thanks to their elevated price point. But that doesn't seem to be the case at Quince. Thanks to their innovative middle-man minimising strategy (with products going straight from the factory, to you) Quince cashmere is a lot more budget-friendly. They even have price comparison widgets on their product pages, which is a real danger to those of us who subscribe to Girl Math ('I'm basically making money at this rate', etc.).

But, it's not all about pricing – who cares about a good deal if the designs are no good? Thankfully, the cut, shape and colours of these pieces garner plenty of compliments. And I should know, as I've been test-running some of their key designs over the last couple of weeks.

This jumper, in a grey one Grazia editor described as 'super French', was my favourite to style. Almost scholastic in its design, it elevated even the simplest vintage jean, black loafer and white shirt combination. Despite actually being one of the more pricey options (damn me and my expensive taste), at £200 you're still getting a lot of bang for your buck. This is one of the most premium cashmere fibres (14.5-14.9 micron fibre thickness), shorn from young cashmere goats, making it extremely soft as well as extremely warm. The ribbed cuffs, hem and neckline add structure, and while all the colours are gorgeous, it has to be the expensive-looking grey for me.

My next most worn has to be the cropped crewneck cardigan in poppy red. Slim in its fit and bold in its hue, this is a great cardigan to layer up your Autumn and Winter outfits with, adding a pop of colour and a valuable layer of warmth. Crafted from Grade A cashmere, this cardigan is the perfect semi-cropped length, hitting my hip at a flattering spot. I paired it with khaki trousers and a vintage barn jacket on wholesome countryside walks, but it would work as well with suit trousers and loafers in the office, too.

At £50 this is the true hero of Quince's cashmere offering. Made with Grade A cashmere, you're going to be hard-pressed to find another crewneck style at this quality and price. I was particularly enamoured with the light blue 'faded denim' colour that offered a great opportunity to bring a pop of colour to cold-weather dressing.

After a seemingly endless summer, we’re well into every style star’s selected seasons – autumn and winter. While summer might represent freedom and fun, fashion followers’ favourite months have always sat firmly in Q4. And for good reason. Cold enough for layers and cashmere, but bright enough to play with textures and colours (think cream corduroy trousers and patterned, woven scarves), the latter part of the year invites layering, texture mixing, indulgent hues and fabrics, and events a-plenty to peacock at.

Of course, day-to-night dressing and the polish required for your after-work, pre-Christmas drinks look also pose some problems, ones best solved, in my experience, with a new accessory. And I’ve found, by way of seemingly every well-dressed woman on my feed, just the thing: Strathberry’s Nest bag.

Seen on the shoulder of Lauren Caruso and Michelle Lin (incredibly stylish women I follow with fervour), Strathberry’s Nest comes in a crossbody and shoulder iteration, both sleek, both useful, and both ready to pair with your end-of-year ensembles. Defined by that elegant front flap and curved edges, both Nest designs are ideal for the eternal day-to-night dressing conundrum, working as well at a comedy night or gig as they would at cocktails. If you’re looking for the type of bag you can take for a long weekend away, visiting museums, fancy restaurants and everything in between, the Nest is what you’re looking for – the crossbody being slightly better for daytime dressing, the shoulder for night.

Strathberry, of course, is the Edinburgh-based brand that creates some of our, and Catherine, Princess of Wales’, favourite handbag designs. Ever a fan of well-made, British designs, the royal is a particular fan of Strathberry’s Multrees Chain Wallet and Mosaic Bag, but we may well see the Nest on the mother-of-three's arm in the months come.

Compact and refined, this is a bag to elevate your quotidian tasks. The real question is which finish and colour you should opt for – black is eternally stylish, of course, tan ever elegant, while the brown suede Nest shoulder feels the most trendy.

Channel 4 has confirmed that hit reality TV show Married At First Sight UK has been axed and will not return, after female participants of the show made allegations of rape and sexual misconduct during the show’s production.

The hit reality show - which saw couples marry a complete stranger, guided by the likes of relationship experts Paul C Brunson and the late Mel Schilling - was thrown into crisis earlier this year after a Panorama investigation revealed rape allegations from two anonymous female cast members and allegations of a non-consensual act from a third. All the men involved denied the allegations made against them.

The show was swiftly removed from streaming platforms, and filming of a both a sixth and spin-off series halted while reviews into the show’s welfare procedures were completed.

With the findings now here, it’s been confirmed that MAFS UK will no longer air - with Channel 4 bosses saying the show has ‘run its course’ during its 10-year stint.

Why has MAFS UK been cancelled?

The review into MAFS UK was split into two: one examining welfare protocols on the show, and a second reporting on how Channel 4 handled the allegations.

The review into welfare protocols, overseen by former BBC One controller Lorraine Heggessey, found that it would be reasonable to continue to make the show with enhancements to the existing contributor welfare framework and changes to the MAFS format. While noting that the welfare protocols were of a high standard, they concluded that ‘intimacy is a key focus’ and ‘some elements of the show could implicitly put pressure on contributors to be intimate.’

Their recommendations included installing CCTV in all areas of the apartments that would be constantly monitored by a welfare team, with panic buttons and a ‘safe word’ also implemented.

A second review, led by law firm Clyde & Co, examined the welfare protocols in place at the time of the allegations. Although they found ’isolated incidents where the welfare framework was not fully implemented,’ they found no findings of a breach of Ofcom’s broadcasting code.

By all accounts, MAFS UK was deemed safe to continue. However, Channel 4’s Chief Executive Priya Dogra has confirmed that the show will be exceed. Implementing all the recommendations from the review would mean a level of intervention, monitoring, and supervision that Channel 4 say would fundamentally alter the format and idea of the show.

Confirming that MAFS UK would be axed, Dogra said, ‘Whilst the review praised the welfare protocols in place and made no findings that Channel 4 breached the Ofcom code or that the format is inherently unsafe, I have to consider when is the right time for Channel 4 to move on from a format’

She continued, ‘The recommendations are eminently sensible and feasible, but considering their wholesale implementation provoked fundamental questions about the editorial proposition of a show that, I believe, has now run it’s course over 10 years.’

Series six of MAFS was in production when the review was commissions, with Channel 4 confirming it will no longer be broadcast given it was not made under the recommended new protocols. Spin-off show Second Married At First Sight, which was also in pre-production, has also been cancelled.

Dogra said she was ‘very sorry for the distress those women have clearly felt,’ adding that the hit show’s budget would be reinvested in ‘distinctive new programming.’

Dame Caroline Dinenage MP,  chair of the House of Commons culture and media committee, said the decision to axe the show ‘makes sense.’

Discussing the ‘seriousness of the allegations,’ she continued, ‘Reality TV contestants have often been treated as a commodity, with duty of care a slogan rather than a genuine principle. Everyone involved in producing and regulating reality TV must now learn and act’

Our obsession with French-girl beauty has admittedly reached fever pitch. Whether we are swooning over the perfume they’re wearing, how they grow their hair, their perfectly cut wispy fringes, or the exact colour they’re wearing on their lips, whatever their beauty MO, we want in. Anyone looking for a chance to hit copy and paste on the effortless, lived-in je ne sais quo that their hair, make-up and skincare habits possess, can find it attainable thanks to one brand in particular, Violette_FR, which has just launched into Sephora.

Created by make-up artist Violette Serrat (and ultimate Parisian cool girl in her own right), her products are blotted across cheeks and lips throughout the capital. Violette_FR's line-up of incredibly chic beauty buys aim to democratise French-girl beauty by offering up intuitive, easy-to-use, low maintenance products that are made to feel expressive, undone and effortless.

Its bestselling Bisou Balm sits somewhere between skincare and make-up, and melts into the lips to offer a blurry, just kissed finish. Its marbled Bisou Blush is a multi-tasking hero that can be swiped across cheeks and lips (no mirror needed) for a seamless and subtle multidimensional flush. As for eye enhancers, look to the Plume Eyeshadow, a cream-to-powder formula that is impossible to mess up. It's so good, even Hailey Bieber is hooked.

As for skincare, Violette_Fr has left no stone unturned. The French pharmacy is the bedrock of many trips across the Channel for any serious beauty buff and this brand's line up proves why. Rooted in a minimalist, less is more French skincare philosophy, the brand rejects rigid routines in favour of listening to what your skin needs in the moment. It's about nurturing not overwhelming it.

And with that crash course on the hottest French-girl brand to hit Sephora, here's what we are shopping right now.

Violette FR Bisou Blush

****:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'},**, beauty director, says:** 'It leaves the kind of sheen that appears to come from within, rather than sitting on the surface of the skin. The finish isn’t exactly dewy or totally matte either - it seems to hit the sweet spot. I opted for Aissa, the same shade I’d spotted, and marvelled at the swirls of berry and candy pink, which come together to mimic the look of a natural flush.'

Violette_FR Boum Boum Milk

**:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}, beauty director, says:** 'I like to apply it after cleansing in the morning and evening, spritzing it all over my complexion. I don’t scrimp on the amount I apply, yet a hefty hit seems to sink in beautifully. Even though it doubles up as a serum and a moisturiser, I still like to continue with both steps anyway (I’m a creature of habit), but this is by no means a necessity. Immediately after using it, my skin feels softer and soothed, with a real glow to it - the kind that comes post-facial. I already know I’m going to be hooked on the stuff. My only gripe? I’m getting through this bottle fast.'

Violette_FR Invisible Bandage

****:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}**, beauty director, says:** ‘I can see why this is a French-girl favourite. It’s described as a “dramatically transformative formula”, and after testing for a month, I’m inclined to agree. I’ve been forgoing foundation for a while now, and this is the perfect excuse to continue doing so. A small amount smoothed over my skin with the dinky brush leaves it looking plumper and smoother. I deal with redness from broken capillaries around my nose, and this seems to take it down noticeably.'

Violette_Fr Balm Amour

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer, says:** 'This lightweight yet ultra-restorative formula is enriched with skincare-grade actives, including functional phyto-collagen (also known as plant-based collagen), firming tripeptides, protective vitamin E, and barrier-building cocoa butter, to repair cracked lips and protect your pout. There's also a ceramic cool tip applicator that allows the formula to glide on smoothly while offering a soothing sensation. And the result? A glossy, healthy-looking finish that gives your lips lasting lustre.'

Violette_FR Bisou Balm

****:a[Rachael Martin]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/rachael-martin/' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'},** beauty director, says:** 'Once I tried it, the appeal immediately made sense. It sits somewhere between skincare and make-up. The texture is beautiful - a small amount melts into the lips, feeling rich and balmy while softening the appearance of fine lines for a plumper-looking finish. Then there’s the colour. It’s sheer, delicate and veil-like. For that reason, I’ll be honest, it does require regular top-ups throughout the day. But for something this chic - and an application process this enjoyable - it hardly feels like a deal-breaker.'

Violette_FR Plume Eyeshadow

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer, says:** 'With an innovative cream-to-powder formula, this collection of eyeshadows is intended to create a soft, blurred and diffused look that speaks to the effortlessness of French girl beauty. There are eight earthy tones to choose from in matte and shimmer finishes. Even Hailey Bieber approves and wore the shade :a[Bois Brûlé, £33]{href='https://www.violettefr.com/en-gb/products/plume-eyeshadow-bois-brule?_pos=1&amp;_sid=d88446fe6&amp;_ss=r' target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}, to the 2026 Met Gala.'

Violette_FR Avec Amour

**:a[Sameeha Shaikh]{href='https://graziadaily.co.uk/author/sameeha-shaikh/' }, beauty writer, says:** 'A clever, travel-friendly roll-on, this musky ,vetiver scent makes for an earthy, warm offering that melts into the skin immediately for a cosy glow. I love to use it on-the-go for a quick fragrance refresh but the bottle's packaging is enough to spark joy.'

The United States of America has felt the world’s eyes on them as they entered into their US midterm elections this month. In an extraordinary twist, it’s the Democrats who have triumphed, taking control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

For the Republicans, it’s a loss in more ways than one. The party saw both senate seats lost in several historically deep red states: including Kansas, who had not elected a Democratic senator since 1932. Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Maine, and South Carolina were also among those who turned blue, with the nation making history with names such as Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed, who has become the first Muslim Senator, and New Hampshire's Chris Pappas, who has become the first openly gay man elected to the US Senate.

While men were split evenly between the two main parties, voter polls suggest that women turned out in huge numbers, voting majority Democrat. It’s hardly shocking data, given the Republican Party’s recent headlines over dangerous anti-abortion laws.

Inside a defeated Republican Party, many have already begun directing their anger towards President Trump. ‘It’s on him. It’s not on anybody else. It’s a total, complete rejection of President Trump,’ Texas Republican lobbyist Bill Miller told the BBC. Another prominent Republican donor told Fox News, ‘First and foremost, this is a Trump loss. He wanted people to consider him on the ballot. And unfortunately as a Republican, that’s what we got.’

The US President’s position in his own Republican Party is undeniably weakened - but if his past actions are anything to go by, there may well be another party for him to turn to. While he is a staunch Republican now, Trump’s political leanings have shifted dramatically over the years (including shock donations to opposing parties.)

Is Donald Trump a Democrat or a Republican?

As it stands, President Donald Trump is the a Republican. Since 2025, he has been the 47th and current president of the US.

However, this wasn’t always the case. While it might be hard to imagine the orange-tinted MAGA mouthpiece having been anything but Republican, his political beliefs have flip-flopped across the years.

Trump initially registered as Republican back in 1987, while living in Manhattan, New York. By 1999, he had changed his party affiliation to the Reform Party - declaring himself a potential candidate for the 2000 election. Ultimately, he went on to withdraw from the race just four months later, voicing his concerns at the time over affiliating himself with some members of the group whom he labelled a Klansman, Neo-Nazi, and Communist.

In 2001, Trump’s political leanings shifted when he changed his party affiliation to the Democratic Party. He shared in a 2004 CNN interview, ‘I probably identify more as a Democrat. It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans […] We’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans.’

Trump would go on to identify as a Democrat for the majority of the 2000s, before returning to the Republican Party in 2009.

By December 2011, the future President had begun considering his own political career. He switched his party affiliation to 'no party,' reserving his right to run for President as an Independent if he was unhappy with the Republican nominee bid.

It also happened to be the same year that Trump donated to the woman who would later become his political rival: Democrat’s Kamala Harris. It’s been alleged that state records show Trump donated $6,000 in total to the then California attorney-general’s campaign over two years. Now, Trump did return to the Republican Party in 2012, meaning at least one of his donations to Harris came while he was a registered Republican. He wasn't the only Trump family member to donate either, with his daughter, Ivanka, donating $2000 in 2014.

In 2015 - the same year Trump admitted he did ‘identity with some things as a Democrat' - the business mogul formally announced his bid for the White House. Declaring the American Dream dead, he described the US as being a nation at risk of having ‘nothing, absolutely nothing.’ He promised Americans that ‘I alone can fix the system,’ describing himself as the ‘voice’ of the ‘forgotten men and women.’

Under his Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign slogan - the very same slogan which donned the hats and badges of defeated Republican voters as they came to terms with a 2026's sweeping Democratic midterm success - Trump found himself as the Republican Party nomination facing off against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The campaign didn’t come without controversy: there was a leaked audio tape of him bragging about sexual abuse, and he often trailed behind in opinion polls throughout the general election. Nonetheless, the citizens of America voted he novice politician in - with Trump become the 45th president of America. What followed were withdrawals from major climate and trade agreements, tough immigration restrictions, and several historic impeachments.

In 2020, amid the Covid pandemic, Trump once again ran to remain president. This time, he lost the race to Democrat Joe Biden - and it wasn’t a loss he took lightly. After his Capitol storm scandal, Trump’s political career seemed over. His closest allies left him, donors vowed to never support him again, and he skipped his successor’s inauguration to move his family to Florida.

In Trump's eyes, though, his political journey was not done. Despite being blamed for poor Republican returns in the 2022 midterm elections, Trump announced he would once again run for president. Evidently, many Americans agreed with his vision - and he was elected President once again.

So, what does Trump actually believe in?

While Trump now identifies as a member of the Republican party (and their President, nonetheless), there’s long been talk among commentators and politicians over where his views really lie.

Conservative commentator Mary Catherine Ham described Trump as being a ‘casual authoritarian,’ saying he is 'a candidate who has happily and proudly spurned the entire idea of limits on his power as an executive and doesn’t have any interest in the Constitution and what it allowed him to do and what [it] does not allow him to do.’ Political commentator Josh Barro described the President as being ‘a moderate Republican,’ saying that apart from immigration, his views are ‘anything but ideologically rigid.’

In a 1980 interview, a then 34-year-old Trump described politics as being a ‘very mean life,' insisting the ‘most capable people’ choose to remain in the world of business. As a New York real estate developer and celebrity, Trump’s position on the political spectrum has largely landed with whoever appeared to hold more influence in the world of business.

USSC Associate Professor Dr. David Smith explained, ‘Whatever his business interests involved, that was who he was donating to at the time. When he was in heavily Democratic jurisdictions, like New York or California, he would donate to Democrats, he would appear at fundraisers with Democrats, and when he was asked about his political views, he would often give answers that were broadly in line with Democratic thinking around things like gun control and abortion - although not always.’ While he’s consistently been tough on crime and foreign policy, ‘just about everything else has changed when it suits him, essentially.’

The idea that his political shifts tie in with a desire for power and elite access is certainly possible - particularly when analyzed under the lens of his Democratic donations.

When Trump donated to Harris’ campaign, he was facing potential action over allegations that Trump University had defrauded its students. Harris’ office never took action against Trump University, although officials at the time insisted the decision had nothing to do with Trump’s thousand-dollar donations.

When his donations resurfaced in 2024, Trump himself insisted that they had been a favor to New York’s then top prosector, Eric Schneiderman. Saying Schneiderman had held a fundraiser for Harris, Trump insisted that he had been persuaded to buy a ticket for the event. He claimed that his favor to Schneiderman had nothing to do with the investigation against Trump University.

Emma Shortis, senior researcher in international and security affairs at The Australia Institute, explained, ‘I think those political donations are always, generally speaking, done because somebody is seeking influence or they want something out of a candidate […] in the hope, I suppose, of maintaining influence when and if somebody gets into a position of power.’

So, what led Trump to swear his allegiance to the Party that is now slowly turning against him? ‘I think he saw quite clearly a path to power through the Republicans,' Shortis explained, 'and again, if that path had been somewhere else, he would’ve taken it.’

If your standard night out uniform has always been ‘jeans and a nice top,’ your time has officially come. The Costume Institute has announced the brand new theme for its spring 2027 exhibition and Met Gala, and it is leaning heavily into the beauty of the everyday.

Titled ‘extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday,’  the upcoming retrospective will take a closer look at the ‘familiar garments’ we reach for daily and examine ‘how designers rework familiar garments, everyday objects, and commonplace materials through craft, construction, material experimentation, and conceptual wit,’ according to the museum’s website.

Put aside giant ballgowns for a moment; this exhibition is putting the humble staples of our wardrobes front and centre. ‘From jeans, T-shirts, and puffer coats to paper, plastic, and metal, the exhibition will reveal how the seemingly unremarkable can inspire delight, surprise, and wonder,’ the Met shared. ‘It will also consider how meaning develops through use and care.’

The pivot comes after the Metropolitan Museum of Art officially pulled the plug on its previously planned 2027 retrospective honoring designer John Galliano. Originally announced at the end of July, the decision to center fashion's biggest night around Galliano sparked instant, widespread backlash due to his past antisemitic and racist incidents. By late August, the museum and the designer confirmed the exhibit was officially cancelled.

‘Following thoughtful discussions with John Galliano, we have together decided not to proceed with the exhibition,’ Max Hollein, director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, said in a statement at the time.

Galliano also released a statement regarding the cancellation, expressing that it was best for the showcase not to move forward. ‘I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it,’ Galliano stated.

With the controversial showcase shelved, the Met is hitting reset with a theme that turns elevated streetwear into red carpet clothes. The 2027 Met Gala steps on the stairs will certainly look different, and for once, the dress code might actually be comfortable.

The temperature dropped almost overnight, and suddenly everyone on the morning commute is engaged in a grim, frantic battle against frostbite and whatever airborne germs the person next to them just coughed into the air. Cold and flu season is officially here, meaning covering your hands isn't just a choice anymore - it's basic self defence.

Most people respond to this annual freeze by pulling out those tired, bobbled knit gloves from three winters ago - the ones with the frayed touchscreen tips that don't actually work. They get the job done, sure, but let’s be honest: nothing kills a planned outfit faster than looking like you stole your mittens from a primary school lost and found bin.

Enter the return of leather gloves. Google Search interest for ‘women's leather gloves’ has spiked over 40% in recent weeks, with people frantically looking up redpairs in particular. And honestly? It makes complete sense. Putting on a pair of leather gloves transforms whatever coat you threw on in the dark from ‘I gave up at 7am’ to ‘I have a mysterious offshore account.’ It’s a nod to 1950s screen sirens - back when ladies wouldn't dream of stepping outside without handwear - reimagined for an era where we just want to look expensive while clutching a matcha. It sits right at the heart of this season's obsession with unapologetic opulent dressing.

Designers clearly got the memo early. On the BOSS runway, models strutted out in tan leather options that grounded tailoring with a softer feel than standard black. Meanwhile, Celine took it up a notch with jewel tones, sending purple leather gloves down the runway to slice right through dark autumn outerwear.

L: Boss autumn/winter '26 | R: Celine autumn/winter '26

Styling them right now is all about making sure they don't look like an afterthought shoved into your pockets when you get indoors. Pair mid-calf or elbow-length leather gloves with a boxy blazer or a coat with pushed up sleeves, so the leather takes over where your sleeve leaves off.

If you really want to lean into the street style maximalism, stack gold cuffs or broad bangles directly over the leather at your wrists. And when you finally sit down inside? Don't dump them at the bottom of your handbag - flat tuck them under the waist belt of your coat so they hang off your hip.

If you're ready to upgrade from sad knits, the high street is surprisingly stacked. Zara and Marks & Spencer are delivering the goods with cherry, brown, and classic black that won't require a second mortgage. But if you’re looking to make a heirloom-level statement, Gucci’s signature Horsebit leather gloves are also a choice; scroll to shop our full edit below.

The arrival of cosy season has a way of giving us a new lease on life and a reason to rethink our beauty kits. Naturally, the products we begin to reach for at this time of year are intrinsically linked to our personalities - what we are feeling and what we're retreating to as the temperatures turn. And, no approach to winter beauty is the same on the Grazia beauty desk.

Some value nothing more than cosying up in a humble countryside cottage - indulging in woody scents and walking the dogs in wellies. Others prefer cosy nights in, lathered in skin-gleaming body oils with a hot water bottle in their embrace. Then, there are those who look inwards, prioritising holistic wellness with calming room scents and cute workout co-ords. And of course, there are the party girls. The bravest of the bunch who would take every chance they get to glammed and live for going out-out.

So, which of our four Grazia winter personalities do you identify with most?

Hunkering down at home

Rachael Martin, beauty director

They said it would never work: that the format was ‘too American’ and British audiences wouldn’t take to it; that any attempt to establish a UK version of the famed comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live was predestined to end in embarrassing, expensive failure.

O ye of little faith! The most recent episode of SNL UK’s second season featured ‘Nigerian Wicked’, a Nollywood-inspired parody of the blockbuster musical starring the original’s lead, Cynthia Erivo, that swiftly went viral. As clips of the sketch racked up millions of views on social media, they cemented SNL UK’s status as a hit. Certainly, it’s funnier than the increasingly stale US version, which has taken to relying more on ‘comic’ toupees and big-name celebrity bookings than genuinely funny sketches.

All of which goes to confirm a thesis I’ve long held – that Brits are inherently funnier than Americans.

Consider SNL UK’s response to recent allegations concerning Meghan Markle’s father Thomas: ‘If the allegations about Meghan Markle’s father are true and he is a paedophile, there is a genuine chance Meghan could be considered royal’ – a clear reference to the allegations that have long swirled around Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (all of which he denies). Close to the knuckle? Sure – but such jokes also demonstrate a particular British lack of deference towards establishment figures (something you’ll also notice in how rigorously our political journalists interrogate interviewees, compared with their counterparts over the pond).

That irreverence extends even to their SNL overlords. After comedian Shane Gillis hosted the US show recently and joked that women in gyms dress like ‘whores’, the Brits offered a pithy riposte in the form of comedian Ania Magliano labelling Gillis a ‘stupid fcking cnt’. One might have expected SNL UK to observe the unspoken Hollywood code of avoiding biting the hand that feeds – but it seems the show’s hosts are perfectly content to take shots at their peers.

Then there’s the fact SNL UK’s political sketches have also been far more intelligent and biting. For me, the cast set the tone in season one with their Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?-themed sketch lampooning former PM Keir Starmer for his trademark indecisiveness and ill-judged appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

Where SNL seems to have settled for the tepid comedy provided by Alec Baldwin impersonating Donald Trump in a bad wig and orange make-up, the comparative subtlety of the UK show implies a confidence in British audiences that is testament to our superior sense of humour.

Suffice to say I’m eagerly anticipating the rest of season two, in early January. What can we expect? This year’s dubious The Celebrity Traitors outcome is sure to garner mention, and perhaps we should also brace ourselves for a send-up of Nathan Fielder’s smash hit Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Whatever it is, I’ll be tuning in – and taking no small satisfaction in the fact that when it comes to humour, we Brits are showing the Americans how it’s done.

Otegha Uwagba is a bestselling author and culture journalist who has written three books: We Need To Talk About Money, Whites: On Race And Other Falsehoods, and Little Black Book: A Toolkit for Working Women. She's profiled figures including Fran Lebowitz, Naomi Campbell and Issa Rae and contributes to publications including the Guardian, Vogue, The Gentlewoman, New York Magazine, the Sunday Times, and the New Statesman. She also writes Add To Wishlist, a monthly culture and style Substack with thousands of subscribers.

Each era is defined by a crop of It girls. The nineties? It was led by a legion of megawatt supermodels – think: Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, the list goes on. As for the early noughties? Fashion darlings disguised as pop royalty set the tone for what was declared passé. Today, a new crop of iconic women, defined by effortless, off-duty tailoring, glass skin and an appetite for holistic wellness, are ruling the scene with their bona fide allure. Leading the brigade? Hailey Bieber, of course.

Bieber has long served as a modern day muse to many and that gravitas was cemented with the launch of her namesake beauty empire Rhode, which gave fans and beauty buffs a chance to try her very own beauty elixir. From glimmering luminising milks to barrier-boosting face creams and peptide lip tints, the product line-up has no problem amassing virality. But what sets the brand apart from its competitors is its innate ability to build a community beyond cosmetics, something punctuated by its sought after merch – be it pioneering snap-on phone cases or summer-ready beach bags and Terry Towels.

And what we suspect will become buzzy soon? A Rhode branded retro zip-up jacket spotted on the beauty mogul herself in recent social media posts, which might just mark a new chapter in their merch offerings.

Onlookers have quickly learnt there’s nothing Bieber can’t pull off – and effortlessly, at that. Be it her anti-autumnal mani, cute strawberry spotwear, and, of course, a myriad of sporty fits – there's good reason why Adanola tapped into her for its latest activewear collaboration. But could Bieber finally be making her own mark on her love of Pilates sets with a new logo-studded windbreaker?

Buried within one of her recent Instagram dumps, Bieber posted a selfie with the rumoured upcoming athleisure jacket, offering a midnight blue, statement take on the ‘gorp-core’-coded windbreaker. Etched into the top right-hand side of the jacket, the embossed ‘Rhode’ logo hints to the clothing item’s association with the beauty brand – and as we hope, a potential upcoming drop.

After all, the beauty industry has been bridging into wearable merch for a while now. Think of Glossier’s well-designed basic hoodies, Vieve’s off-duty-model caps and Harry Styles’ Pleasing line which regularly releases fun, graphic t-shirts. But undeniably, there’s something about Rhode’s merch that has an ability to cause an unnatural stir. Much like its beauty offerings, its merch feels elevated and functions as a proud flash statement to be worn out and about. A flex that is worth the investment, if you will. Even if that comes in the form of an otherwise utilitarian item that has been transformed into something much more fashun.

As we catch ourselves then, switching up our coffee orders from cold brew to gourmand warm beverages, it goes without saying that the Rhode windbreaker fits just right into cosy season. Our guess? It might just quickly become the new cool girl staple. Move over, Marty Supreme.

The brand has remained tight-lipped on whether the rumoured jacket will be available for general purchase. But knowing Rhode’s usual approach to product drops, we urge you to watch this space.

I can certainly say that the LED light therapy trend is only getting stronger. Gone are the days when you'd sit under a semi-circle dome at the end of your facial treatment to give your skin the impact of LED light therapy. Thanks to brands like CurrentBody and Shark Beauty, finding the best LED mask is now super accessible and easy to use in the comfort of your home. As soon as I heard about the Elemis Red Light LED Mask, I knew I had to test it.

I don't know about you, but when I think about luxury facials and spa-like skincare, I think of Elemis. From the viral pro-collagen cleansing balm to the Marine Cream loved by celebrities, Elemis has plenty of staple products under its roster, and now it's officially gone into the world of beauty tech. The most exciting part? It's already sold out numerous times since its launch, but I've just spotted it's finally back in stock.

This mask is designed to deliver age-defying results, whether you're enjoying a treatment at the spa or bringing a little of that experience into your own home. Red light specifically targets visible signs of ageing and photodamage, helping to boost collagen production while strengthening the skin's structure and natural repair barrier. I'm someone who takes real pride in my evening skincare routine, and I love incorporating an LED mask into my wider wellness ritual. There's something quite lovely about putting one on and taking a little time out for yourself. It feels like a moment of escapism from the day, giving you the chance to switch off, pause and relax while your skin reaps the benefits.

Elemis Red Light LED Mask

Skincare brand Elemis has jumped onto the LED mask hype, and the Red Light Mask makes the perfect addition to any anti-ageing skincare routine.

How does LED light therapy work?

The triple-wavelength technology works across three levels of targeted infrared light – red, near-infrared and deep-infrared – to reach beyond the skin's surface. Red light therapy, in particular, targets a whole host of concerns, from fine lines to loss of firmness, helping to stimulate collagen production and support the skin's elasticity. Of course, consistency is key when it comes to seeing results, so regular use of the mask is essential if you're hoping to achieve healthier-looking, smoother and more radiant skin. And that's where an at-home LED mask really comes into its own. Rather than relying on an additional treatment every time you visit the spa or book a facial, you can enjoy the benefits of LED therapy from the comfort of your own home, as often as you like, without the ongoing cost of professional treatments. Win-win.

How to use

The brand recommends cleansing and exfoliating your skin before wearing the mask to ensure your skin is receiving the most benefits from the LED light therapy. Luckily, Elemis' Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is up there with the best balm cleansers to help remove make-up and keep the skin feeling super moisturised as well as squeaky clean. Followed by the Dynamic Resurfacing Pads to slough off any dead skin cells, and my skin is ready for some LED. I love wearing my LED mask in the mornings while sipping on an iced coffee. Simply continue on with your day or evening skincare routine, and you're good to go.

The device is ridiculously easy to use; all you need to do is press the button on the remote, and the treatment starts. This LED mask is great for those beginners who are looking to get into the world of beauty tech and see professional-style results with consistent use.

The results?

I've tested this mask for the past couple of months, and I can already see a difference in my skin. I'm coming up to turning 29, and I'm noticing the fine lines on my forehead getting deeper, and it's something I'm looking to treat and target. I've noticed a difference in how radiant and plump my skin looks. In fact, I have been enjoying the compliments I've been receiving from friends and family noting how glowy my skin looks, and although I'm always slathered in rhode's Glazing Mist, they've noticed a difference when it comes to brightness and radiance.

With regular treatments, red light therapy will continue to improve the texture and tone of the skin, encouraging plumper skin and enhancing your skincare routine. As we start thinking about what presents to buy for Christmas, this LED mask will make the perfect gift (or a treat to yourself).

Its powerful 1600W motor gets to work quickly, while intelligent temperature regulation monitors and adjusts the heat up to 100 times per second to help maintain consistent temperatures as you dry. With three temperature and airflow settings, you can tailor your routine to your hair and desired style, while the cool shot mode helps lock everything into place for a salon-worthy finish.

Democrat Amy Acton overcame Republican billionaire biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to win the Ohio governorship in a race that featured plenty of foul play (on Ramaswamy's part).

Acton is the first woman to win the governor's race in Ohio and the first Democrat to do so in two decades. Ohio has voted Republican for the last three presidential elections, but Ramaswamy's campaign took a turn after he released a bitter, personal attack ad featuring Acton's estranged mother.

So, who is Amy Acton? And what happened during the Ohio governorship race?

Who is Amy Acton?

Amy Acton is an American physician and researcher who is the Governor-elect of Ohio. She was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio and attended Youngstown State University before getting a medical degree from Northeast Ohio Medical University in 1990.

She previously served as the director of the Ohio Department of Health, in which capacity she led Ohio's Covid-19 pandemic response from 2019 to 2020.

How old is Amy Acton?

Amy Acton is 60 years old.

What happened during Amy Acton's childhood?

Acton has claimed that after her parents divorced and she lived with her mother, she experienced neglect, abuse and periods of homelessness. Her mother remarried Cledith Arthur, who had been prosecuted for raping his daughter. According to Acton and her younger brother, Phil Stearns, Arthur sexually abused her. He was charged with rape when she was 12, and pleaded not guilty, but the charges stalled after he fled the state and moved to Pennsylvania.

After Acton's mother lost custody of her, Acton moved in with her biological father, Gerald Stearns. She soon thrived at school and was crowned homecoming queen during her senior year in 1984.

What happened during the Ohio governorship race?

In the advert, Acton's mother Donna Arthur said her daughter 'lied her entire life'. It left out the fact Arthur's husband was charged with raping Acton when she was a child.

The ad sparked immediate controversy and drew criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Former South Carolina governor Republican Nikki Haley criticised Ramaswamy's move, while Ohio's current Republican Governor Mike DeWine called it 'deeply troubling'.

One of the main supporters of the low blow tactic was, of course, Donald Trump. The president called the advert 'powerful' and encouraged Ramaswamy to keep it running and his deputy JD Vance told Republicans to stop 'whining' about it.

However, it ultimately backfired. The editorial board of local Ohio news outlet the Columbus Dispatch endorsed Acton, describing the ad as 'revolting and unsettling'.

After losing the race to Acton, Ramaswamy described the contest as 'tough' and 'bitter at times in both directions'. Meanwhile, Acton said, 'My promise to Ohio, to those who voted for me and those who did not, is that I will work with anyone and everyone, and I always have to make life better for Ohians.'

Is Amy Acton married?

Acton married Eric Acton, a middle school teacher and track coach, in 2010. The couple lives in Bexley, Ohio.

Does Amy Acton have children?

Together they have a blended family of six children – three from her first marriage to Douglas Beech and three from Eric's first marriage.

Nikki Peach is a senior writer at Grazia, working across news, entertainment, features. She has also written for the i, i-D and the New Statesman Media Group and covers all things pop culture for Grazia (treating high and lowbrow with equal respect).

Chris Pappas has made history as the first openly gay man to be elected to the US Senate. The Democrat won the New Hampshire Senate election, scoring 56.2 per cent of the vote, beating Republican John Sununu in the mid-terms.

In his victory speech, Pappas thanked his husband, Vann Bentley. ‘I want to thank the guy next to me, my amazing husband, Vann,’ he said to the crowd. ‘He’s always been by my side. And look, tonight, win, lose, or draw, I’m the luckiest guy because I’m married to a man that I love.’

After that touching tribute, here’s everything we know about Chris’s partner, Vann Bentley, from his career to his marriage.

Who is Vann Bentley?

Vann Bentley is an American privacy and cybersecurity professional and lawyer. He is married to U.S Senator-elect Chris Pappas.

How old is Vann Bentley?

It’s not publicly known how old Vann is – his husband Chris is 46 years old – so it’s expected that they’re similar ages.

What does Vann Bentley do for work?

Currently working in cybersecurity for Uber, Vann trained as a lawyer, and has previously worked in policy at Amazon.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Vann did his bachelor's degree in political science and English at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, then went onto to study law at Georgetown Law.

His victory gave Democrats a statewide win in Texas and means he will head to Washington DC alongside his longterm partner, Brianna Menard.

If you've been on the internet at all in the past month, you've likely heard of the H3 podcast scandal.

Hosted by content creator couple Ethan and Hila Klein, it was revealed in late October that the podcast had been put on an 'indefinite hiatus' - with an Instagram statement from Hila later alluding to the reason why.

In a statement that left many shocked, Hila revealed that her husband of 14 years, Ethan, had been having a months-long affair. Claiming she could 'sense something was wrong' in her relationship, Hila wrote, 'Eventually, he was caught in a lie, and I knew I was done. But the lies continued. "It was just a kiss" became "it was emotional cheating."'

The content creator - who shares three sons with Ethan - signed off her post by saying she was in 'survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak. All I can do right now is focus on taking care of myself and my children, one day at a time.'

As for Ethan, he later took to his Instagram to confirm he was working to 'urgently remove' his ownership and financial stakes in the couple's production company.

In the weeks since, information on Hila and Ethan's divorce has come to light. Documents show that Hila lists the couple's separation date as October 13th (a date fans have thought to be poignant for several reasons). Alongside joint custody of their three sons and spousal support, Hila seeks for her legal bills to be covered by Ethan.

And when it comes to representation, Hila has a powerhouse on her side. She is being represented by Laura Wasser, a divorce lawyer who has assisted many an A-lister. Her high-profile clients include Kim Kardashian (in both of her divorce cases), Angelina Jolie, and Heidi Klum.

So, who is Hila Klein? Where is she from? Here's what you need to know.

Who is Hila Klein?

Hila Klein is an Israeli-American fashion designer, businesswoman, and YouTuber, best known for co-hosting the H3 podcast alongside her husband, Ethan Klein.

Aside from podcasting, she's the founder of American streetwear brand Teddy Fresh. The brand has done collaborations with the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants, Rick and Morty, Elton John, and Care Bears. In 2025, Hila launched her spin-off cosmetics line, Teddy Glow.

How old is Hila Klein, and where is she from?

Born December 12, 1987, Hila Klein is currently 38 years old. Born Hila Hacmon, she was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, before being raised in Holon. Her parents are both Jewish, with her father haling from Libya and her mother from Turkey.

In her divorce filing, Hila has formally requested to return to her maiden name, Hacmon.

Who is Hila Klein's brother?

Hila is one of three children, with her older brother being Moses Hacmon, the husband of YouTuber Trisha Paytas.

In recent years, Moses and Hila have been estranged. In her Instagram statement, Hila revealed that she has no family 'on this side of the world’ - despite Moses also living in California.

Moses - who shares three children with Trisha - has revealed that he has been no contact with his sister for the past five years following the fallout from the Frenemies podcast. Trisha and Ethan briefly hosted Frenemies together, which was where the former Celebrity Big Brother star met Moses. The podcast ended in 2021, when Trisha quit the show following creative, financial, and interpersonal clashes.

Addressing Hila and Ethan's current situation, Moses revealed during a recent episode of the Just Trish podcast. Saying he had ‘warned’ his sister in the past about Ethan, he said, ‘I don’t expect her to choose her brother over her husband.’

While he has ‘nothing to say’ to his sister, Moses did share that her statement left him ‘in tears.’ ‘Even though I don’t talk to her, I don’t hate anyone,’ Moses explained, adding, ‘I still have the memory in my body of my sister. You know, [she’s] my youngest sister. We were very close.’

While he said he wouldn’t ‘wish it on anyone,’ Moses revealed that the situation doesn’t change his current standing. ‘My choice to be in no contact will remain.'

When did Hila Klein and Ethan Klein marry?

Hila and Ethan first met in Israel back in 2007, while at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. Ethan, who is also of Jewish heritage, was there on a Birthright Israel trip. At the time, Hila was completing her mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF.)

Ethan moved to Israel not long after, with the couple marrying in 2012. They later moved to the US around 2015, settling in Bel Air, California. In 2019, Hila became a naturalized US citizen.

How many children does Hila Klein have?

Hila and Ethan share three sons together: Theodore ‘Teddy’, born in 2019, Bruce, born in 2022, and Sunny, born in 2024.

Does Hila Klein have Instagram?

There is something uniquely satisfying about watching a show you were an early adopter of go on to achieve enormous success. When This City Is Ours – the Liverpool-based BBC crime drama created by Stephen Butchard – first arrived last March it was an instant hit. Episodes attracted an average of 6.1 million viewers and BAFTA nominations soon followed, both for best drama and best lead actor for James Nelson-Joyce as career criminal Michael Kavanagh.

While there’s no denying that This City Is Ours developed a cult following, it was yet to become to phenomenon that it is now. When series two arrived in October, however, it crossed the threshold to become ‘the show that everyone is talking about’. The new series finds senior gang member Michael and his new girlfriend Diana (Hannah Onslow) living happily in Spain when they find themselves dragged back into the world of crime and forced to face the Phelan family’s wrath.

‘What sets it aside [from other crime dramas] is that it’s centred around a family, and it’s got a love story in it, so it really allows you to be more emotionally invested in these characters,’ offers Saoirse-Monica Jackson, who plays Cheryl Crawford. In series one, Cheryl is on a quest to find out what happened to her husband, Davey, who was killed by his gang leader. In series two, we find her with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

‘It’s always so exciting to go back and do a second season of something,’ says Jackson, who became a household name playing Erin Quinn in three seasons of the runaway hit Derry Girls between 2018 and 2022. ‘Stephen [Butchard] has done such a great job of setting the world up and the dynamics between each character. She’s such a complex character, Cheryl. She’s smart and she’s brave and she knows what she’s after.’

After the first series aired, the reaction to Cheryl was mixed. She predominantly functioned as a jaded mob wife keen to escape a life of crime she never chose – season two afforded Jackson the space to build out her character. ‘I get to explain where she’s coming from. In the first one, Stephen let the audience sort of work out what her next move was alongside Cheryl herself. Coming onto the second one was a real gift. I get to paint with all the colours with Cheryl.’

The strong character arcs are one of many reasons This City Is Ours has become appointment TV. Despite the fact all episodes of the second offering are available to stream on BBC iPlayer, viewers are choosing to wait to watch it together. ‘What time is This City Is Ours on?’ became a breakout search term after the first episode aired, suggesting viewers are resisting the urge to binge-watch in favour of a shared experience.

‘I’ve noticed that,’ Jackson agrees. ‘I hope it’s not a phase. I think it’s a lovely thing to have a shared experience as a nation. When Derry Girls came out, streaming was a thing, but it wasn’t the sort of giant that it is now, so people were watching it together. It’s lovely to have a marker in your week to have something to look forward to.’

As an Irish Liverpool resident, the buzz around This City Is Ours has been especially exciting. ‘I can feel the response here and people are so excited,’ Jackson tells me. ‘In Ireland, they can only get it week by week. I was back the other day and there’s a real buzz there too. You get the whole guessing game of what’s going to happen next.’

Jackson, for her part, has a similar knack for keeping audiences guessing. We last saw her as the eccentric, buffalo-heeled criminal, Feeney, in Lisa McGee’s Netflix series, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, who fans described as ‘Lady Gaga meets Princess Leia’. Last year, she played Sarah Willis in The Trial, a futuristic legal drama set when parents are legally responsible for the crimes committed by their children. Her next project? ‘I’ve just wrapped a sci-fi Western movie in the States.’

‘It’s got an amazing cast,’ Jackson beams. ‘It’s female led. Myself, Liza Koshy, Dylan Mulvaney, Sabrina Brier and Cynthia Nixon. All the characters are sort of like Western superheroes. I think people will have a lot of fun watching the movie.’ A third series of This City Is Ours has also been confirmed, but the plot and returning cast members remain under lock and key.

‘I just so happen to be approached for a variety of genres and roles,’ the actress laughs. ‘I suppose I do sort of make wild choices within that.’ Well, if the past year of TV has taught us anything, it's that audiences don't mind being kept on their toes.

All episodes of This City is Ours are available on BBC iPlayer. It continues on Sundays & Mondays, 9pm, BBC One.

Hair is one of the most intimate expressions of who we are: a crisp cut is like peeling away a lacklustre layer to reveal a shiny new version of ourselves; a power pony telegraphs confidence and a tousled blow-dry coaxes out a playful side we often keep under wraps. John Frieda instinctively understood this, which is why the beauty world is mourning the news today that the British celebrity hair stylist and beauty brand entrepreneur has died aged 75.

I remember my first magazine internship and listening to the beauty director speak in hushed, reverent tones about an invitation she’d received to go to John Frieda’s Ibiza home for the unveiling of a new product from his eponymous range. The excitement was palpable – and it wasn’t just the lure of sunshine or the launch of another groundbreaking styling formula. It was the thought of lifting the veil on the legend’s home life that sent ripples around the office (white-washed walls, lush gardens and impeccably chic, in case you’re wondering).

During my 16-year career, I’ve written features where other hair stylists paid homage to Frieda as an inspirational figure, but it was perhaps this introduction to his stardom that I remember most. Frieda became a firm favourite with celebrities in the 60s and 70s, cutting hair for US First Lady Jackie Kennedy and model Twiggy before famously tending to Princess Diana’s blonde pixie cut. His central London salon, which he opened in 1976, still draws in the fashion crowd and is booked up months in advance.

But perhaps what most people will remember him for is his John Frieda brand of hair products, including the Frizz-Ease Hair Serum, £6.99, that I myself have given countless ‘hall of fame’ awards to.

His death was announced by his hair salon in an Instagram post on Tuesday. 'John was more than a mentor to us; he was a true icon of the hair industry. He was the person who taught us everything, believed in us, and made us better,' reads the post. 'His talent and passion touched so many, and his legacy will live on in every single one of us. We will continue to do him proud.'

Indeed, his legacy lives on in the iconic hair styles that still inspire today.

Beauty trends tend to have a boomerang effect. Their cyclical nature means what was once in vogue, before falling out of favour, has a way of coming back around again. It's a constance we've come to love and find great comfort in, as seen by our enduring obsession with nostalgia. It's the reason why everything from frosty make-up to smokey eyes à la Kate Moss is back. Granted, those trends are highly aesthetic, fashion-forward and easy to adapt for 2026, but one trend we did not expect to make a comeback? Y2K's quintessential hair trend: the millennial quiff.

The pouffe, the bubble, the bump, call it what you will, this iconic, somewhat polarising, and once wildly popular hairstyle is a true beacon of the noughties. And while its roots stretch back further than when the Pussycat Dolls reigned supreme (the '50s to be exact, according to Tom Smith, hairstylist and Grazia Beauty Panellist), thanks to TikTok it's having a serious cool girl revival.

Y2K icons spanning Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Gwen Stefani, and Nicole Scherzinger may have helped to seed the look as our go-to for nights out circa 2000, but in 2026 it's the internet's biggest It girls that are serving it up as inspiration. TV presenter Indiyah Polack wore it sculpted and high as tradition would have it for the BAFTAs this year, while Matilda Djerf recently gave it an off-duty piecey, undone spin. The looks were enough to cause a ruckus online.

In fact, Google searches for ‘pouf hairstyles’ spiked by 98% in September, while TikToks heralding the return of the millennial pouf have racked up over 43K views and counting. Last month,
Heather Bowling, TikToker and co-founder of By Babes who counts a cool 1.1 million followers on the app, was forced to post a tutorial on her high pony quiff, by popular demand. The video received over 300,000 views.

The style is characterised by 'the front section of the hair being lifted up and back off of the forehead,' explains Smith. 'It sits quite proud above the hairline and is always secured in some way, whether it's with a clip or a headband, or sometimes you can even achieve it with a hairband if you tie your hair up into a ponytail and pull the front section of the hair forward.'

'Typically the sides of the hair are either shorter, in more androgynous cropped styles, or sleeker in some way. Meaning, they are either straighter on the sides of the head or secured back so that the height at the front stands out,' Smith adds.

It's a real statement without veering into costume or pompadour territory, says Smith, and it's making a return for a number of reasons. There's the obvious longing for nostalgia which brings comfort amid uncertain times, but there is also its deceptively versatile nature. It offers up a strong sense of armour with its androgynous structural style, while lending glamour thanks to its ability to lift and create volume. Smith adds there is a practical advantage too, for those dealing with a grown out fringe, who can effortlessly sling it back and look instantly more put together.

And that's the beauty of it. Depending on how you style it, it works just as well for weddings and nights out as it does for coffee dates and grocery runs.

To create a traditional iteration of the look, you'll need to arm yourself with styling products, namely a volumising mousse or a volumising root spray to stiffen the root and allow for easy blowdrying upwards and backwards. The key is to focus on the root direction to a point that the fronts of your hair can stand up and back evenly by itself. If your hair resists manipulation, try adding a touch of water to your fingertips and work it through the roots before applying products and heat from a hair dryer. For further body, you can use the traditional millennial technique of backcombing the roots slightly if your hair needs extra support or lacks volume naturally. Once the quiff is secured with bobby pins, a hair band, or a headband, mist over with a stronghold hairspray.

For a 2026 touch, Smith says you should loosen the finish. Start with hair that is slightly waved, curled or textured through the front sections before sweeping it back with a claw clip, so the finish looks more ruffled, unstructured, and relaxed. The carefree feel lends more of a pouf or bump style, rather than the big bold quiffs of the noughties.

Rearing to unleash your inner millennial? These are the products to help you on your way.

Borg, teddy, plush fleece – whatever you call it, the fluffy jacket is making a convincing case for a place in our autumn/winter wardrobes once again. And while it might not be the newest trend on the fashion circuit, its latest revival proves that some of the best wardrobe staples are the ones we keep coming back to.

Come chilly season, there are few things more appealing than wrapping up in something soft, oversized and wonderfully cosy. Take the faux fur collar jacket that’s currently trending, proof that we’re all craving statement coats, fleece and fluffy, furry textures. But this season, the humble borg jacket is about more than simply keeping warm. From fashion week street style to the latest high street arrivals, tactile outerwear is having another moment, with designers and style insiders giving familiar silhouettes a fresh perspective. And that’s precisely why I’m not ready to call time on the borg jacket just yet.

My own fascination with fluffy outerwear goes back to Max Mara's iconic Teddy Bear coat. First introduced in 2013, the design quickly became one of the Italian fashion house's most recognisable pieces, thanks to its oversized proportions, luxurious texture and almost impossibly cosy appearance.

What makes the teddy coat so enduring is that it doesn't rely on an elaborate silhouette or complicated styling to make an impression. Its appeal is immediate and wonderfully uncomplicated. Fashion editors have continued to champion the style for precisely this reason. Celebrity sightings have helped maintain its appeal, too, with Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes among those photographed wearing Max Mara's signature design.

While the teddy coat has its roots firmly in luxury fashion, the wider fluffy-jacket trend has become much more democratic. You no longer need to invest in a designer coat to tap into the look.

Borg has become a familiar feature of high-street outerwear, appearing in everything from cropped button-up jackets and funnel-neck styles to longer hooded coats and oversized cocoon shapes. These pieces capture the same appeal as their more luxurious counterparts but often feel more relaxed and easier to incorporate into everyday dressing.

And this is where I think the borg jacket really comes into its own. It has a casualness that makes it particularly versatile. Unlike a more structured wool coat, which can lend itself to a smarter outfit, a cropped borg jacket feels just as natural with loose denim, leggings or relaxed trousers as it does with a knitted dress.

The terminology can be a little confusing, of course. Borg generally describes a curly, fleece-like fabric, while teddy is often used for that soft, plush, almost bear-like texture. Plush fleece is a broader description, and shearling-style outerwear tends to have a more pronounced contrast between its fluffy lining or trim and its outer surface.

There's plenty of crossover, and retailers don't always use the terms consistently. But for the purposes of your wardrobe, the important thing is the finish and silhouette: whether you want something cropped and casual, oversized and bohemian, or polished enough to wear for years.

I've spotted the look on some of the coolest women on my Instagram feed, including fashion creator @oliviatps, who pairs her fluffy jacket with a checked skirt for an outfit that has a distinctly countryside feel. There's a little Claudia Winkleman-inspired The Traitors energy to the combination: practical, characterful and just the right amount of eccentric.

Meanwhile, @roorichards takes the trend in a more bohemian direction with her Free People borg jacket, styled with loose trousers and a bandana. It's a very different interpretation, but just as convincing.

Whether you call it borg, teddy or plush fleece, the fluffy jacket has earned its place in the autumn/winter rotation– and I suspect we'll be welcoming it back again for many seasons to come.

Anne Lora Scagliusi is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia with over a decade of international experience. She began her career in Dubai, covering major fashion events and global trends, and her work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Glamour. Now based between Italy and the UK, Anne is rarely seen without one of her signature Self-Portrait dresses and believes that great style should be as practical as it is polished, especially when parenting a toddler.

The temperatures are beginning to drop and, whilst it is not quite cold enough for 'The Big Coat' just yet, there is one jacket in particular we are reaching for. Yes, the leather bomber jacket, revered for its voluminous blouson silhouette, will quickly become your go-to garment for banishing the autumnal chill. Katie Holmes has long recognised the power of a great leather bomber, recently stepping out in a conker-brown classic from Banana Republic. Take a cue from Holmes and style yours with glossy brown leather loafers and indigo patch-pocket jeans for an effortlessly polished look. If you're after a touch of extra polish, add a crisp white shirt underneath or try a roll neck for a subtle ‘70s nod.

Spotted on countless occasions across the street-style set during fashion week, leather bomber jackets have now firmly cemented themselves as the cool-girl outerwear of choice. Out on the boulevards of Paris, leather bombers are frequently seen worn oversized and unfastened over fine knits and tailored trousers, striking just the right balance between relaxed and refined. Alternatively, pair yours with boho-infused midi skirts to toughen up airy fabrics and overtly feminine silhouettes. For bonus sartorial points, do not neglect your collar. Whilst it may seem a simple tweak, popping your collar can transform your look, creating the illusion of a funnel neck jacket - one of the season’s most prominent trends, particularly effective when the bomber is fully fastened. A subtle, considered styling touch can make all the difference.

Returning to the jacket in question, whilst Holmes’s bomber of choice hails from the menswear section of American label Banana Republic, there are countless options available to suit every budget and personal style. The viral Saint Laurent leather bomber - seen most recently on forever-fashion-fathful Claudia Winkleman - holds a permanent place on our fashion mood boards. However, for those seeking a more accessible alternative, the high-street offers a wealth of options. Consider John Lewis, H&M, or Topshop, all of which offer high-street leather bombers that are, in our opinion, every bit as chic and versatile as their designer counterparts.

This timeless staple truly proves its worth as a stylish investment season after season, destined to complement everything from weekend denim to sharply tailored trousers.

With the sun beaming and temperatures still in 'do I need a jacket' territory, you'd be forgiven for not having a hold on what season we are in. But, while it may not feel it, autumn is finally upon us. If the weather has thrown you off, you can always rely on fashion and beauty's seasonal playbooks to steer the course. Right now, soft suedes, high-shine leather, and bold prints are back on the agenda, and you'll find each of them translated into the way we are wearing our nails, too.

The arrival of September brought with it the resurgence of fawn-core, made viral by runway-ready deer print jackets, pants, and scarves, but our favourite ode to the enchanting print came byway of Bambi nails, of course. Elsewhere, hot chocolate nails have fast-become a favourite on the Grazia beauty desk and apparently Hailey Bieber is just as obsessed, having swapped her signature glazed doughnut nails while attending the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week for something far deeper, darker, and quintessentially autumnal. After something more dazzling? Look to Taylor Swift who is already looking ahead to festive season with a set of dazzling twinkle tips, which she wore to the 2026 MTV VMAs.

'This season, we’re seeing nails move away from summery softer, more pared-back shades that have dominated and into something richer, warmer, and a little more playful. Think deep, juicy tones like merlot and jammy reds, earthy greens, warm neutrals, and unexpected pops of colour - essentially, a continuation of that toasted summer palette before we move into a much bigger colour moment,' explains Vicky Hanna, founder of Luna & Wilde Salon.

While colour is certainly back across the board from make-up to nails, that doesn’t necessarily mean bright hues. 'This season’s palette feels warm, moody, and slightly nostalgic, with earthy tones and deep reds sitting alongside more playful finishes like twinkle tips and statement details. And looking ahead, we’re already seeing the beginnings of a bigger pink moment – suggesting that this return to colour is only going to get stronger,' adds Hanna.

With that in mind, allow these autumn-ready trendy manicures to inspire your next salon visit.

'Deer print taps into the wider animal print trend we've seen across fashion for the past few seasons,' explains Daisy Kalnina, CEO and founder of The Gel Bottle. 'It's softer and more wearable than leopard and cow print, but pulling from that same countryside, hunting lodge aesthetic that's been all over the runways.'

More geared towards mid-century elegance, enchantment, and naturalism, the whimsy print 'ticks every box for the season because it's warm, textural, and feels luxury with a bit of personality without being too try hard,' Kalnina adds.

The merlot mani

Manicurist and The GelBottle Inc's brand ambassador, Bryony Howell, describes the merlot manicure as, ‘a deep, rich red tone inspired by merlot wine'. Why is it so popular? 'It’s elegant and slightly dramatic without being loud, which is also why it’s a go-to for the neutral nail girls,’ Howell adds. AKA it is dark, glossy, and unexpected – everything you want from an autumn-ready look.

‘Closely described as a burgundy, it isn’t as harsh as a dark brown or black, which makes it more wearable day-to-day,’ says Howell. Luxuriously rich tones? Tick.

Juicy jammy nails

In the last three months, searches for 'jammy nails' have increased 24,650%, according to beauty booking platform Fresha, making it one of the hottest trends to watch this season. It's not hard to see the appeal. 'Jammy nails are glossy, rich, jewel-toned manicures – the shade and finish is reminiscent of that high- shine jam finish,' explains Kalnina. 'For autumn, jammy nails will appear in deep berry, plum, and wine shades with a wet, high-shine finish. It's all about that juicy colour that catches the light.'

'The glossy finish adds a warmth and richness that feels cosy rather than cold, while feeling unique and special. Someone will always comment on a jammy nail – they’re just cool-girl chic,' adds Kalnina.

Twinkle tips

For the 2026 MTV VMAs, Swift swerved autumn's nail rulebook and looked ahead with a set that oozed quiet luxury's restraint and festive season's dazzlement in equal measures. Restraint came courtesy of a barely-there nude base, which subtly nods to the rise of the bare nail rebellion, while dazzlement was achieved with the scattering of tiny rhinestones and twinkly tips.

'With quiet luxury shaping everything from fashion to beauty, people are choosing quality over statement, and a flawless nude is the nail equivalent of a perfectly cut cashmere coat. Swift's gems act like fine jewellery, adding sparkle without breaking that understated feel,' says Kalnina. Crucially, her twinkly tips aren't overdone nor do they overwhelm the nude base that anchors the look. 'It's a grown-up take on sparkle,' she adds.

Tinted sunglasses nails

Brown, tinted, subtly transparent nails were caught on the runway for Diane Von Furstenberg's SS27 show at New York Fashion week. 'Sunglasses nails are shimmering, completely sheer brown nails, just like the lenses of your favourite pair of sunglasses,’ says head manicurist at the DVF show who goes by Miss Pop. The trend emerged from the brief given by DVF's creative director Henry Zankov and stylist Stella Greenspan. ‘They wanted a neutral nail that was completely see-through and celebrated the models’ natural beauty,’ she added.

Key to nailing the look is getting that sheer colour right. Miss Pop did just that by blending Essie’s Baby Carats, a shimmering chestnut brown, with the Stay Longer Longwear Top Coat to create a base coat. ‘The ratio is 25% brown, 75% top coat,’ she says. For an added ‘polarised effect’ she went over the nails with two coats of the polish before applying Essie’s Liquid Sunrise, an iridescent glowy varnish, over some of the nails.

Hot chocolate nails

Trust the queen of manicures to show us how it is done. Attending the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week at the turn of autumn, Hailey Bieber opted for this deeper, darker, and quintessentially cosy season-coded chocolate mani. Some have likened it to espresso, others hot cocoa, either the warm beverage-inspired set is a delectable choice for the season. Don't forget that high-shine finish.

Last winter, my social media feed was flooded with one particular coat: the now sold-out & Other Stories fringed shawl coat. I was this close to adding it to my basket when, just seconds too late, my size disappeared. Devastating? A little. But perhaps the fashion gods had other plans, because I've since found an equally chic alternative from cool-girl brand Ro&Zo, and it might just be the fringe coat I've been waiting for.

What I love about this fringe coat is that it also taps into the scarf coat trend, which seems to make a comeback just as the cosiest time of the year rolls around. I first spotted this on fashion influencer Martha Roberts, and while I wouldn't necessarily call it an everyday coat, it's certainly one of the chicest outerwear finds of the season.

There's no denying that boho dressing is making quite the comeback for autumn/winter, and we're certainly in good company when it comes to its famous fans. Sienna Miller remains the undisputed poster girl for the look, having spent the noughties making coin belts, slouchy boots and puffy sleeves look like wardrobe essentials rather than costume pieces. And while Miller has given us plenty of inspiration over the years, it's the fringe coat that feels like the easiest way to channel that same free-spirited style in our winter wardrobes, and the chicest women on my feed seem to agree.

Sézane’s Gabie Coat has quickly become one of the most talked-about fringe styles, popping up everywhere from the streets to our social media feeds. It's clearly a favourite among the fashion set, and while the white version has already sold out, the black is still up for grabs.

The third collaboration between Barbour and FARM Rio is another lovely example of how playful details are finding their way into this season's collections. If you're not quite ready to commit to a full fringe coat, accessories are an easy place to start. I particularly love the pairing of the Barbour x FARM Rio Angelonia Wool Cardigan with the matching Angelonia Wool Scarf, which features delicate fringe detailing. Together, they bring an autumnal pop of colour to winter layering.

Anne Lora Scagliusi is a fashion commerce writer at Grazia with over a decade of international experience. She began her career in Dubai, covering major fashion events and global trends, and her work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, and Glamour. Now based between Italy and the UK, Anne is rarely seen without one of her signature Self-Portrait dresses and believes that great style should be as practical as it is polished, especially when parenting a toddler.

As I've gotten older, I've realised that I don't suit full-coverage glam. Gone are the days when I'd wear matte foundation (hello, university nights out), followed by plenty of loose powder to bake my under-eyes and an abundance of contour. Now, I want my make-up to look more like skin, and that brings me to one formula type I wish I'd found years ago: creams.

Since discovering cream make-up formulas like cream bronzers and cream blush, my make-up looks completely different, but in the best way possible, because it allows my skin to look radiant and glowy without a hint of dryness or cakiness. However, old habits die hard, so when YSL Beauty launched its Make Me Blush powder blush, I was like a moth to a flame. The viral formula is fronted by Dua Lipa, and to say social media went crazy for it would be an understatement. Then, as if by magic, the brand announces a cream version, and I got ridiculously excited.

I must confess, I'm a complete cream blush enthusiast. There are many formulas I love; it's hard to choose just one. These include viral brands like REFY and rhode, to those iconic formulas from MAC and NARS that made me fall in love in the first place. As soon as YSL launched the Make Me Blush Bold Blurring Cream, I knew it would be something to rave about.

There are many elements to this formula that caught my attention, including the 12-hour wear and blurring technology. Quite often with cream formulas, they tend to soften throughout the day, but that isn't the case with this new launch. From the hydrating, balmy texture to the flattering shade range, there's plenty to talk about, and I have lots to say.

First impressions

Initially, I was expecting this blush to be somewhat sheer because of its texture. My usual school of thought is that the thicker a cream feels, the stronger the pigment is likely to be – but this new blush has completely changed my perspective. The texture is super lightweight, almost balmy beneath your fingertips. On my first swipe, I didn't notice a huge amount of pigmentation, but I soon learnt that you need to warm up the formula first before applying it to the skin. Infused with rosehip fruit extract, the cream blush feels incredibly silky and moisturising. We're all guilty of a little blush blindness (me especially), but it's almost impossible to apply too much of this formula. It settles into the skin beautifully, leaving a seamless, almost undetectable finish. That's not to say you can't amp things up, though. Simply layer the cream for a more pigmented finish (see below).

Once I'd warmed up the blush with my fingers, I then went ahead and applied it with Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Complexion double-ended brush (my go-to for all my cream blushes). The synthetic bristles pick up just the right amount of product without leaving me looking like I've run a marathon without any training.

What do I think of the viral shade 44?

Social media is raving about shade 44, 'Nude Lavallière', so naturally, I had to try it. Of course, it helps that I usually opt for a brighter, yet neutral-toned blush, and this shade ticked all of the boxes. I'd describe it as the perfect colour for emulating a winter-flushed cheek. Imagine you've just stepped out into a crisp, snowy scene; it's that exact rosy flush your cheeks would naturally take on, but with a little added depth and glow. I was surprised to discover that the range consisted of just six shades, but, having given it some thought, there's something refreshing about choosing from a curated edit of colours that cover all bases, from pink to nude to red.

Overall review

I would say that this blush is unlike any other in my collection. Although I own more than enough cream blushes, this is one product that was missing from my stash. For those days when you want a soft glam look that feels effortless, as though you're barely wearing any make-up, it's perfect. I've forever been on the hunt for a cream blush that sits beautifully underneath a powder formula, without pilling or smudging when layered on top, and this works wonders with its powder companion. It almost acts like a blush primer, making the pigmented powder even more impactful while offering impressive longevity thanks to the sandwich technique of setting a cream with a powder.

The creamy, balm-like texture works perfectly on my dry skin, but I think it would also suit combination and oilier skin types. Its lightweight formula feels like you're wearing nothing at all and doesn't disturb any make-up or skincare underneath. As we approach the festive season, this blush is guaranteed to make any beauty addict extremely happy come Christmas morning – or as a little gift to yourself (no judgement).

Georgia Scott is a beauty commerce writer for Grazia. She has been obsessed with beauty products for as long as she can remember and spends her days hunting for the latest trending products to get her hands on to review.

Whenever I begin to wear something in my wardrobe slightly too much, and it borders on 'Do you even wash that?', I look to alternatives in a different colour. That probably explains, then, why I have several pairs of COS's Arch Jeans in different denim hues, as well as a couple of Rise & Fall's Boxy T-shirts in multiple colours too. That also probably explains my next purchase: a classic coat silhouette, redesigned in a rather more interesting shade of navy.

Lovely as a beige trench is (and there are few wardrobe staples I'd defend quite so readily), there's something to be said for the darker versions. Particularly when so many of the outfits that work best with a trench coat involve lighter colours - ecru denim, white T-shirts and pale grey knitwear. Navy brings enough contrast without feeling as stark as black and has that slightly taken-from-my-husband's-wardrobe quality that makes a good trench coat so appealing in the first place.

Burberry brought the shade to its autumn/winter 2026/27 collection, which feels rather fitting given the brand's long-standing association with the coat itself. Its take on the trench coat featured an inky-blue finish, belted waist and dramatic ruffled detailing across the neckline and shoulders. And the pops of navy didn't end there, with Victoria Beckham and Dior also choosing to feature the shade in their runways, from similar inky tones to brighter cobalt.

Whether you have a Burberry-sized budget or not, the good news is that there are plenty of ways to try a navy trench coat. Zara's outerwear selection is never one to ignore, with the Long Trench Coat a dual-toned delight that will slip into any wardrobe, and it looks particularly chic styled with a pair of beige trousers and a white T-shirt. Nobody's Child has its Tartan Trim Relaxed Car Coat which should be on your radar if you like a little more pattern. Then, of course, for those considering a more substantial investment, it's hard to look past Burberry.

A navy trench coat will work with the exact same jeans, T-shirts and knitwear as your trusty beige version but will somehow make your outfits feel entirely new. And if, like me, you've reached the point where your beige trench coat has become a near-permanent fixture (and perhaps needs a well-deserved trip to the dry cleaners), a navy trench coat has given me a reason to reconsider my usual colour of choice.

When not writing, shopping or at Reformer Pilates (a cliché but she's hooked), Gemma will likely be planning her next holiday (and what she's going to wear). For a glimpse into said travels, outfit inspo and life as a journalist, follow her on Instagram.

You can always rely on Hailey Bieber to serve up a healthy dose of nail inspiration. Over the years, the model and Rhode founder has adorned her tips with a flurry of masterpieces that run the gamut of her signature glazed doughnut nails and twinkly silver laden nails. Come autumn, she's known to adopt a moodier palette marked by brown cat-eye nails, jet black shades, and merlot manicures, all of which she was caught wearing throughout September and October, right on cue. But if there's one surety about a nail chameleon, it is to expect the unexpected, as Bieber proved while attending the CFDA Awards.

Arriving at the American Museum of Natural History for the ceremony, Bieber was joined by an entourage of fellow Yves Saint Laurent golden girls (quite literally), Rosé, Anja Rubik, and Zoë Kravitz, all of whom were dressed head-to-toe in gilded Saint Laurent ensembles by Anthony Vaccarello. The only thing pared-back about Bieber's look? Surprisingly, her nails.

Set against the backdrop of her golden long-sleeve brocade top, fur-trimmed cuffs, embroidered baroque midi skirt, and metallic leather Salomé heels, Bieber's nails were anything but loud. Instead of leaning into autumn nail trends, she swerved them entirely for a set of soft aura nails.

Founder and CEO of The Gel Bottle, Daisy Kalnina, 'Hailey’s set feels like a subtle evolution of the aura nail, featuring a neutral, translucent base with a soft, rosy blush tint concentrated at the centre that gently diffuses outward. Finished with a high-shine top coat, it creates a plush, healthy-looking nail that feels understated yet deliberate.'

Interestingly, her nails completely veer away from the heavy, opaque burgundies and deep espresso browns we typically see at this time of year, notes Kalnina. 'By sticking to a fresh, sheer palette with that diffused rosy pop, Hailey makes a fresh seasonal statement that complements, rather than distracts from her detailed metallic Saint Laurent brocade outfit.'

Aura nails have been all the rage for some time, characterised by a diffused burst of colour concentrated at the centre of the nail that softly fades out toward the edges, creating a glowing, multidimensional effect. Their alluring finish has no doubt taken TikTok and red carpets by storm.

To recreate a similar look to Bieber's set in-salon, Kalnina explains the treatment always starts with preparation and priming for a flawless nail bed, followed by a neutral sheer base. 'I’d recommend using BIAB™️ to achieve that perfect apex and base colour while adding strength and retention for natural nails. TGB's Dreamer, £17.50, would be great for this set, with its ultra-sheer, soft pink wash for subtle minimalism.'

Your tech will then build up a soft rose pigment in the centre of the nail to create that seamless, diffused aura effect. You'll want a level of contrast between the base colour and the deeper hue at the centre of the gradient. For a subtle contrast try a silky glaze of sheer blush pink or for a real pop opt for a bright fruity shade that lends a syrupy shine. 'Once you’ve achieved your desired gradient, seal everything in with an ultra-glossy, plumping top coat to lock in that high-shine finish,' Kalnina adds.

We finally have full permission to get into the festive cheer as John Lewis have released their Christmas advert.

Giving us all some much-needed pep, the new ad is a heartwarming story about a grandmother’s quest to find a gift for her grandchildren that they’ll genuinely love.

Tempted to resort to dishing out cash, our grandma is encouraged by her own childhood companion – Pickles, a talking wooden toy dog – to think more creatively. Cue the pair going on a magical adventure to find the perfect, thoughtful present. Instead of splashing out on a luxurious gift, she creates a fabulous, glitzy den, much to her grandchildren’s delight.

Undoubtedly, you’ll have clocked that BAFTA award winning Kristin Scott Thomas plays our glamorous granny, but there are some other British icons featured in the advert too.

Here’s all the stars of the new John Lewis advert and where you’ve seen their faces – and voices – before.

Where have you seen the John Lewis advert cast before?

Kristin Scott Thomas

Playing our glamorous granny Gloria, Kristin Scott Thomas is an acclaimed British actress. You’ll know her as the sharp-tongued spymaster in Slow Horses, and for her performances in favourites like Fleabag and Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Paul Whitehouse

Did you think you’d heard the voice of adorable Pickles before? If so, you’d be right, the talking toy dog is voiced by much-loved comedian and actor Paul Whitehouse. Known for his hilarious sketch comedy shows, he also stars alongside Bob Mortimer in the deeply comforting Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

Sam Fender

This year’s soundtrack is sung by none other than Geordie singer Sam Fender. The Mercury prize winning musician covers a classic Rolling Stones track for the advert, marking his first new release since his chart-topping global success with his song ‘Rein Me In’. In a very sweet twist, Fender enlisted the children’s choir from his old school to provide the backing vocals for the tune.

Rolling Stones

The advert’s song ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ is a popular Rolling Stones track, first released in 1969. The band is one of the most influential and famous British rock bands, fronted by Mick Jagger. Incidentally, Jagger used to be in a relationship and has four children with Jerry Hall, a recent star from The Celebrity Traitors. ‘I’m a fan of Sam’s work, so I was pleased to hear he was covering one of my songs,’ said Jagger. I think he’s done a great job with it.’

Another day, another podcaster allegedly caught up in a viral cheating scandal...

If you've spent any time online lately, there's a very good chance you've seen at least one video surrounding the Ethan Klein and H3 Podcast cheating saga. It's one of the messiest internet rabbit holes we've fallen down in yonks - and frankly, it doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon.

Cast your mind back to 2022, and you may remember Ned Fulmer's affair with a Try Guys producer blowing up the show (and his marriage.) Now, Ethan Klein is facing a similar media whirlwind. He's been accused of cheating on his wife of 14 years, Hila Klein, allegedly with a younger employee.

Might we add that Ethan was one of the Internet personalities who had some scathing comments on Ned's affair back in 2022...

So, who is Ethan Klein? Who is he alleged to have cheated with? And what on earth is going down at H3 productions? The drama is only just beginning, so let's dive in.

Who are Ethan and Hila Klein?

If you aren’t familiar with Hila and Ethan Klein (and depending on what side of the internet you live in, why would you?), let us set the scene.

Ethan met Israel-born Hila back in 2007, while on a birthright trip. Both were in their early 20s at the time, and went on to marry five years later in 2012. They now have three sons: Theodore 'Teddy', seven, Bruce, four, and Sunny, two.

They launched their YouTube channel, h3h3Productions, back in 2011, posting sketches and reaction videos that poked fun at viral clips and internet trends. In 2016 came the H3 Podcast, whose hours-long episodes mix pop culture commentary with celebrity interviews (hello there, Post Malone), with the wider podcast production crew joining in on discussions. H3 went on to become somewhat of a podcasting empire, home to spin-off podcasts such as Frenemies (which Ethan once hosted with his sister-in-law, Trisha Paytas.)

In 2017, Hila founded the clothing brand Teddy Fresh, later adding the makeup brand Teddy Glow.

Ethan has long cast himself as the ultimate 'wife guy,' code for a man who is quite literally obsessed with his other half. He even has a tattoo of Hila's face on his arm, alongside the quote, 'The greatest thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother.'

By all accounts, Ethan was Hila's biggest fan. So where did it all go wrong?

Has Ethan Klein cheated on Hila Klein? The H3 Podcast cheating scandal explained

On October 22nd, H3 fans were left stunned when Ethan announced on his Instagram stories that the podcast would be going on an indefinite hiatus. The reason why seemed to emerge the following day, when Hila posted a devastating statement over on her Instagram accusing Ethan of being unfaithful.

What did Hila Klein’s statement say?

'I am living in a nightmare I can't wake up from,' Hila wrote in a statement on Instagram. 'My husband has been having an affair. I have been fed lie after lie for months. I am tired of lies. Here is the truth.’

Hila said she had sensed that something was wrong in their marriage. ‘I tried to ask him questions and share my concerns and hurt feelings,' she continued, 'but I was met with dismissive answers and no action. Things that bothered me continued to bother me, and he did nothing about it.

‘So I trusted him. Because I loved him. I stopped questioning him and began to question myself, my own instincts. My sanity.’

Eventually, Hila alleges, Ethan was ‘caught in a lie, and I knew I was done. But the lies continued. “It was just a kiss” became “it was emotional cheating.” After I dragged these lies from him, he finally admitted he’d been in an affair for over six months, the extent of which I’m sure I still don’t know.

‘The betrayal I feel is immeasurable. The person I loved and trusted for 20 years evaporated overnight. He was my safe place, my partner in marriage, parenting, and business. My only family on this side of the world. How do I even begin to make sense of this.’

Telling fans she doesn't yet ‘know what comes next,’ Hila described herself as being in ’survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak. All I can do right now is focus on taking care of myself and my children, one day at a time.’

She signed off with a message to others in a similar situation: 'You’re not crazy. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself. If you’re not being treated right, get up and leave.’

That same day, the H3 production crew released a statement of their own, revealing they would no longer be working with Ethan. Saying they were ‘shocked, angry and heartbroken to learn about Ethan’s ongoing affair,’ they added, ‘We stand with Hila and will support her every step of the way. We’re disgusted by Ethan’s actions and the hurt he has caused. We all deserved better: Hila, us, and you.’

When did Ethan Klein and Hila Klein split?

Divorce documents filed by Hila reportedly notes her and Ethan's date of marriage as being October 10, 2012, with their date of separation pinned as October 13, 2026. It's a date that some fans have deduced to be particularly poignant - but we'll get onto that later.

In the documents, Hila asks for joint custody of their three children, as well as spousal support. She also requests that Ethan pay her legal fees, and for her maiden name, Hacmon, to be restored.

And when it comes to her divorce, Hila has hired the best. The petition was filed by none other than Laura Wasser, a top-tier lawyer who had worked on several high-profile celebrity divorces. Her previous clients have included the likes of Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, and Kevin Costner.

What has Ethan Klein said about his affair?

After Hila’s statement landed, Ethan released a response over on his Instagram stories.

‘I know a lot of people are understandably looking for a comment from me but I ask that you please respect my family’s privacy and do not contact them looking for me or asking for their comments,' he wrote. 'They have nothing to do with this and share in your outrage and disappointment.’

Per Variety, he then confirmed he would be stepping away from the H3 Podcast entirely: ‘I am working with Hila to urgently remove my ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, Teddy Fresh, Teddy Glow, or any joint venture that I would profit from. All of your support will go directly to Hila and the crew.’

Urging fans to continue backing the team, Ethan added, ‘I do this in the hope that people can still support Hila and the crew without the concern of enriching me. I know the crew will make an awesome show, they are packed to the brim with the most talented, creative, hilarious and all around great people.’

Who did Ethan Klein allegedly cheat with? The Tamara Joseph rumours explained

Nothing has been confirmed about who the alleged affair was with - but that certainly hasn’t stopped the internet from speculating.

Online speculation has centered on one of the younger H3 employees, Tamara Joseph, who according to the H3H3 Fandom joined the show in 2025 as an intern. Fans have been pointing to the fact the crew had quietly unfollowed her, as well as analysing old videos. The employee in question has not responded to the rumours, and neither Ethan nor Hila has publicly named a third party as of yet.

In her divorce filing, Hila lists her and Ethan's date of separation as being the 13th of October, 2026 - days after their wedding anniversary, and about a week before the final episode of the podcast aired.

Now, there is another reason that date has fans intrigued. According to information available on fan pages and previous social media posts from the H3 crew, it appears that October 13th also happens to be Tamara's birthday.

What happened between Ned Fulmer and Ethan Klein?

As the allegations against Ethan came to light, it was none other than Ned Fulmer who became a prominent voice online. To understand why, we'll have to backtrack a bit...

In September 2022, Try Guys star Ned Fulmer admitted to a ‘consensual workplace relationship’ with an employee. Fans were especially shocked given how central Ned’s devotion to his wife, Ariel, had been to the group’s videos. That same month, the Try Guys announced they had removed Ned from the group.

At the time, Ethan was one of many Internet personalities who weighed in on the situation - and he didn't hold back. 'The really sad part is they have two kids,’ he said. ‘Cheating is so despicable, man, especially when there’s kids involved. F*ck, bro. Was it work it just to get some strange ass? If you’re in love with her, just get a divorce if it’s that important.’

He continued: ‘They f*cking put their wife through childbirth, they deliver you two children, and then you go and cheat on them. It’s got to be humiliating for his wife. And she’s got to do this in the public eye.’

Understandably, Ned has a few choice words to say about the current situation. When Hila's statement first surfaced, Ned took to X to write 'Ethan Klein can f*ck all the way off,' followed by, ‘Karma’s a b*tch, huh?’

What has Trisha Paytas said about the situation?

Unsurprisingly, all eyes are on Trisha Paytas, too.

She and Ethan once had a very public feud, which began when he accused her of creating content 'harmful to young women' after shaming her edited Instagram pictures. During one H3 appearance, Trisha claimed Hila 'deserved better' than Ethan, and things went swiftly south.

They later reunited for Frenemies, a podcast that was essentially the two of them arguing. It ended in 2021 after an explosive on-air row, with Trisha announcing she was leaving for good over disagreements about money, production and creative input.

Still, the show did bring something good into her life. It was while filming that she met Hila’s brother, Moses Hacmon. They married in 2021 and have three children together: daughters Malibu Barbie, four, and Elvis, two, and son Aquaman Moses, one.

After resharing a cryptic post on her Instagram about finding somebody who 'thinks everything about you is a big deal,' Trisha broke her silence on a 27 October episode of her Just Trish podcast alongside her husband, Moses.

Saying he had been no contact with his sister for the past five years, Moses shared that he chose to distance himself from Hila and Ethan following the fallout from Frenemies. He shared, 'I made the decision to never talk about family for, you know, I don’t know, for drama, for views, for whatever it is that they were doing.'

He claimed, 'Ethan, to me, is not part of the family anymore, so I can definitely talk about it. And at first, he did everything he could to destroy my family, and he was successful at that, unfortunately. And after that, he did everything he could to destroy his own family, and he was successful at that too.'

While Moses said he had 'nothing to say' about Hila, he added that he was 'in tears' when he read her statement.

Trisha and Moses then briefly addressed the situation on an October 27th episode of the Just Trish podcast.

Ultimately, we don’t have all the details just yet - but there’s certainly enough internet threads to comb through. You just might want to set aside a couple of hours, first.

The second series of The Celebrity Traitors might sadly be over, but that doesn't stop us from reminiscing on how addictive and gripping it was. The castle welcomed a group of celebrities to the fight between good (the Faithfuls) and evil (the Traitors), and it's looking as if our Thursday and Friday evenings will have a huge Traitors-style hole in them. We can certainly agree it was one of the most riveting seasons of the nation’s favourite murder mystery realityshow. The plot had us hooked, and it kept us coming back for more, as did the show's presenter, Claudia Winkleman.

There is no denying Winkleman's style became a subplot to the show. Searches for 'what Claudia Winkleman wore on The Traitors' have been skyrocketing as viewers attempt to recreate her hauntingly 'haute country' outfits. But there is much to be said about her beauty choices, which naturally amp up her status as the ringmaster of the show.

Her signature fringe is powerful and preserves an air of mystery, perfect for her pivotal role on a show that is entirely based on treacherous deception and psychological warfare. And her make-up choices follow suit. While sticking to her penchant for tanned skin, a smokey eye and nude lips, Winkleman's make-up is an elevated and constantly reinvented version of her signature look, proving that a smokey eye and nude lip can be worn in multiple ways.

Taking to Instagram, Winkleman's go-to make-up artist, Lucy Gibson, posted a breakdown of the products she used to create the looks we've seen in all of the previous episodes. And, if you've ever thought Winkleman's go-tos are rogue, niche, or hard to find, think again.

Here's every single product you need to recreate Claudia Winkleman's make-up on The Celebrity Traitors.

Vieve Eye Wand - Raven

While this is an eyeshadow stick, Gibson says she used it as an eyeshadow across Winkleman's entire lid for that signature smokey eye the presenter is best known for. It's a handy trick if you struggle to keep the look neat and tidy while still staying true to its grungy roots. This Eye Wand by Vieve will help to do just that with its creamy, pigmented formula, which helps to prime, colour and shape lids all-in-one. And if you want a true jet black, this inky shade has your back.

When autumn hits, If we're not bingeing the excellent TV on offer, you'll invariably find us nooked somewhere with a book in hand. As the days and nights get colder, it's the season to hunker down with an engrossing read and escape into a different world.

But what to read, you ask? Well, thankfully the team at Grazia have shared their favourite books to devour at this time of year. From twisty thrillers to insightful non-fiction picks, we've got you covered.

Be prepared to cancel your plans and add to your reading stack. It’s cosy season after all.

Exit Party by Emily St John Mandel

Frances Hedges, editor: The author of bestselling novel Station Eleven is back with her latest work of speculative fiction – and it doesn’t disappoint. Opening in the year 2031, this thrilling page-turner is set across two parallel worlds, one occupied by the primary characters and the other by their mysterious doppelgängers. Each narrative is suffused by a strange sense of déjà vu, as our protagonists increasingly sense the presence of their alter egos elsewhere. The plotting is impressively intricate and the scope of the author’s ambition wide: this is a book that warns of the ravages of climate change, the dangers of a surveillance society and the risks that come with political division. Big questions, but ones that St John Mandel asks with a light and clever touch – I couldn’t put this down.

Her Many Faces, Nicci Cloke

Georgia Aspinall, assistant editor (and thriller junkie): Of all the thrillers I’ve read this year (and my bookshelf reads like a how-to on murdering men, accidentally of course), this one has stuck with me most. It follows a 22-year-old waitress accused of murdering four wealthy, powerful men, but it’s told through the perspectives of five men in her life - each who project their own assumptions and biases onto her. It keeps the narrative fast-paced, drawing you in more and more as the perspective on your main character flips from chapter to chapter. By the end, you just want to hear from her - and you do, but it’s a great twist. So often I find thriller plots pull you in and in until you can’t put it down, only to end on a bum note - this, by contrast, has a really satisfying conclusion. I loved it!

Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason

Sarah Gerrard, senior picture editor: I've just finished Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason. A portrayal of mental illness, not my usual topic of choice, but it was so well written. Brutally honest, smart, funny and deeply moving. Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. I've never read a book quicker. Couldn't put it down.

Any Human Heart by William Boyd

Rebecca Holman, digital director: You know that book you return to year after year and never get tired of? Any Human Heart does that for me. The book chronicles the life of Logan Mountstuart, born at the turn of the 20th Century, through his diaries as he serves witness to some of the defining moments of the next nine decades. Logan is a brilliantly formed character, for whom the tumults of his lifetime are a mere backdrop to his own observations, passions and follies. Inhale the book as quickly as you can, and follow up with the brilliant BBC adaptation - that’s November sorted.

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh

Lucy Keitley, features writer: What is autumn, if not a time to bed rot? The unnamed narrator in My Year of Rest and Relaxation takes duvet days to a whole new level, as she plies herself with prescription drugs in the hopes of achieving a year-long slumber. Though our protagonist is mainly bound to her Upper East Side apartment or the local bodega, details of her life slowly unfold, like the tragic death of her parents or the sadomasochistic relationship she has with her ‘best friend’. It’s a darkly comic meditation on the ennui of modern life, ideal if you’re prone to leaning into the existential melancholy of these darker nights.

Wintering by Katherine May

Hanna Woodside, deputy editor: Every autumn I reach for Katherine May’s Wintering. It’s non-fiction and organised chronologically, starting in September going through to March. It covers a particularly difficult phase of the author’s life and the lessons she draws from nature to help her through a dark winter. Although I live in a flat in South London with no garden, and am not particularly outdoorsy, it’s a good reminder that it’s ok to slow down and hibernate a bit during this season. If you’ve had a particularly tricky 2026 this book will give you solace.

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

Honor Wolstencroft, social media assistant: If you’re looking for a psychological thriller to devour in one sitting, Lisa Jewell is always a great place to start. Watching You is set in a quaint neighbourhood in Bristol, and it’s not the sort of place where somebody would be murdered in their own kitchen, or where every resident has a secret. Until protagonist Joey finds out the hard way that everything isn’t quite as she pictured, whilst navigating an all-consuming crush on the local school’s headteacher.

Switzy by Emma Cline

Carolyn Roberts, creative director: Cline’s third novel is on the Booker prize shortlist, deservedly so. The main protagonist is on a journey towards death, which sounds bleak but is surprisingly funny and moving. A novel that stays with you.

I Am Roland Mouret: The Butcher’s Boy Who Dressed The World by Roland Mouret

Hattie Crisell, features director: I’ve just finished this fashion memoir, which tracks Mouret’s life from working in his father’s butcher’s shop in rural France, to becoming one of the era-defining designers of the 2000s. What makes it so enjoyable are his no-holds-barred anecdotes and shrewd opinions on the celebrities he’s worked with – from Scarlett Johansson to Meghan then-Markle to Victoria Beckham. He’s so self-aware, funny and charming that you can imagine they let him get away with murder.

The Horrors We Harbour by Emily Cooper

Charlotte Roberts, writer: On the island of Ynys Halen, the beams from Guin’s lighthouse are the only thing keeping the horrors lurking beneath the waves at bay. When she slips up, terror descends, and the islanders are all too quick to return to the ritual sacrifices of the past. First in line is Catrin Morgan, who means far more to Guin than anyone knows. In one month, she’ll be thrown into the ocean - and Guin will do anything to stop it. A sapphic folk horror steeped in monsters, cults, and female rage, this one is best read by candlelight on a dark and stormy night...

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

Ellie Palmer, art editor: An epistolary novel done so well! Following the letters written by Sybil Van Antwerp to her family and friends, we are immersed into Sybil's world as she fixes her challenging relationship with her children, indulges in a later-in-life romance, and grapples with a loss that's been a secret for the last 30 years.

It's not exactly breaking news that Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, isn't on the best of terms with the rest of his royal family - despite now living just hours away from them all.

Family bonds have been tense since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as working royals in early 2020, choosing to relocate to America's glamorous Montecito, which remained home for them and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

That is, until now. In late August, the Sussex duo left the world shocked when they announced they were moving to England - despite the Prince's previous comments that he 'couldn't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK' over security concerns. The pair now call the stunning Cotswolds countryside their new home, counting Ellen DeGeneres and the Beckhams among their neighbors.

As of yet, it doesn't seem a move back home has gone far to heal Prince Harry's fallout with his family. A series of bombshell documentaries and shocking memoirs have driven a rift between the once close-knit family over recent years. As it stands, the last time Prince Harry and his brother Prince William were publicly seen together was at their father's coronation in May 2023, when they sat separately and did not appear to interact.

However, a source has now revealed that Prince Harry is hoping to make amends with his family - including with his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

A source close to the Sussexes has told The Times that Harry is 'mindful' of the King’s upcoming trip to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and the Prince and Princess of Wales' expected visit to India, ensuring that his own activities will not clash with either. The source shared, 'Obviously with the King going to CHOGM and the Prince and Princess of Wales going to India, he knows about those things and he is obviously mindful of that as he’s planning his own activities as well.'

The King is currently on a nine-day tour of the Caribbean, which will end at CHOGM. Meanwhile, the Earthshot Prize Awards are set to take place in Mumbai this month, with Prince William confirmed to attend. It's not yet known whether Princess Catherine will join - but if she does, it will mark her first appearance at the Earthshot awards since 2022.

Harry's scheduling plans come after his GQ interview, which was published on the same day as the King's ceremonial welcome for the Sultan of Oman. In the interview, Harry discussed his desire to reconcile with his family - remarking that ‘some people don’t want to work it out.’

A spokesperson for the Sussexes insisted the publication date was GQ's decision as opposed to the Prince's - but nonetheless, it sparked discussion around how the royal can drive attention away from the working royals. It's thought Harry deliberately factoring his estranged family into his plans might signify an olive branch.

Here, we look back at the relationship between Prince Harry and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.

Inside Kate Middleton and Prince Harry's close bond

While they are no longer a solid feature in each other's life, Prince Harry and Catherine, Princess of Wales, once shared an exceptionally close bond.

When Kate began dating William back in 2003, she quickly developed a bond with Harry, who was just a teenager at the time. In his book Spare, Harry recalled how he initially worried that Kate would take his brother away from him. Instead, he found a new family member.

Speaking in his book, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, former royal butler Grant Harrold revealed that Harry was very much ‘involved’ in his brother and sister-in-law’s life. ‘Harry used to go out with Kate. William would be away, and Kate and Harry would be off doing stuff together,’ he explained. It’s said the duo spent their time together doing much the same as any other pals do: shopping or visiting the pub.

When William and Kate announced their engagement, Harry said, ‘I am delighted that my brother had popped the question! It means I get a sister, which I have always wanted.’ William and Kate wed in 2011, with Harry serving as Best Man (reportedly delivering a speech so touching towards his new sister-in-law that she was said to have shed a tear.)

However, Harry later claimed in his memoir that he began feeling an outsider and a ‘non-person’ following Kate and William’s wedding, which saw them granted more belongings, land and roles.

In 2016, Harry met his now wife, Meghan Markle. He shared in his book that he was thrilled to become a ‘foursome,’ saying it had been his ‘dream for a long time' - but It was a dream that would never materialize. In the run up to the Sussexes 2018 wedding, reports surfaced of a tearful row at a bridesmaid dress fitting. Sources initially claimed that Meghan had made Kate cry, with the former Suits actress later sitting down during a chat with Oprah to say it had been ‘the other way round.’

After stepping back as working royals, a source shared that Kate ‘missed’ her bond with her brother-in-law. Yet, it appears there is much to work to do when it comes to the pair rekindling their bond.

In 2022, Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith claimed that Kate and William were ‘deeply wounded’ by Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary. ‘They love Harry, they miss him,’ Goldsmith shared, adding, ‘He is family, and I believe they’d still welcome him and Meghan back. There’s nothing Catherine would want more than for the brothers to be reconciled because that’s the real love story here.’

Pierce Brosnan has spent the past four decades becoming one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men - but off-screen, his most important role is that of a devoted husband.

Since the 90s, the Irish actor has been in a relationship with former journalist, Keely Smith. Their wedding was straight out of a fairytale, with their first date even more romantic. And of course, Keely entered Pierce's life at a particularly pivotal point - just one year after he'd faced personal heartbreak.

Who is Keely Smith, and what have she and Pierce Brosnan said about their marriage? Let's take a look back at Hollywood's most enduring couple.

Who is Keely Smith?

Keely Shaye Smith - now Keely Shaye Brosnan - is a former television journalist, who is married to James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan. Pierce said in 2023, ‘We like each other a lot. We love each other a lot. Watching someone grow up with you and grow old with you is a very spiritual journey. To watch each other change - whatever it may be, the hair, the waist. But it’s the love in the heart.’

There's a 10 year age gap between the pair: Keely is currently 63, and Pierce is currently 73.

What does Keely Smith do?

A former model and actress, Keely first appeared onscreen as the leading lady in the 1986 music video ‘Stuck With You’ by Huey Lewis and the News. She then became a TV journalist and on-air correspondent, which saw her work for shows such as Unsolved Mysteries, Good Morning America, and Entertainment Tonight.

In 2016, she also made her directorial debut with the film Poisoning Paradise, which shed light on toxic environmental practices in Hawaii, where she and Pierce spend some of the year living. She also acted as executive producer on the 2022 documentary Women of the White Buffalo, chronicling the lives and stories of Native American women living under colonialism in South Dakota.

Keely is now a keen campaigner for environmental and social justice, supporting organizations working towards marine mammal and wetland protection, clean air and clean water, and the preservation of endangered species.

She also happens to be a keen gardener and horticulturist! She’s appeared on ABC’s Home Show to discuss her knowledge of plants and vegetables, and previously served as Good Morning America’s Gardening Correspondent.

When did Pierce Brosnan and Keely Smith meet? Inside their fairytale romance

Brosnan and Smith first met back in 1994, while they were both on holiday in Mexico. Keely, who was working as a journalist at the time, had been flown there to interview American actor Ted Danson. She ended up at a party in Cabo San Lucas, where she met the man who would become her husband.

Celebrating their 30th anniversary back in 2024, Keely wrote, ‘How could I have known as I walked around the corner and into your life that my destiny was about to change forever? Thanking my lucky stars that I had the courage to introduce myself to you and forever grateful for the connection and family we share three decades later.'

Keely later told People how she and Pierce had an instant spark, describing the Mamma Mia! actor as being ‘captivating’ and having a ‘mischievous sparkle in his eyes.’

The pair went on their first date just days after meeting, with Keely recalling that they ‘sat down under the stars and he held my hand. There were fireworks going off over our heads, and Kenny Loggins was singing. We talked until three in the morning.’

Was Pierce Brosnan married before?

Of course, Keely entered Pierce’s life at a particularly emotional time. In 1991, the actor lost his first wife, Cassandra Harris, to ovarian cancer. Pierce had been married to the former Bond girl for 11 years before her tragic death.

Opening up about his grief, Pierce previously told People, ‘There is an incredible cruelty in it all, losing a person you shared everything with.’

The year after, he met Keely - who Pierce has credited with helping him keep the memory of Cassandra alive. He told The Mail on Sunday in 2013, ‘Ups and downs are what life is all about. But the memory of Cassie and her fight against cancer is never forgotten. Keely has always been kind and compassionate, and encouraged me to mourn Cassie.’

He added, ‘I suppose Keely is my North Star, always looking out for me.’

When did Pierce Brosnan and Keely Smith marry?

Keely and Pierce went on to marry in 2001, tying the knot at Ballintubber Abbey in Ireland. The couple channeled fairytale vibes for their wedding, hosting their guests at Ashford Castle on the banks of Lough Corrib.

Their wedding day was initially covered by Hello!, with Pierce’s mother May Carmichael telling the outlet at the time, ‘Before Keely walked down that aisle towards him, he was just being Pierce, interacting with the people he knew in the church. But when he saw her standing here, he almost crumpled a little bit. You could just see what they mean to each other. It was a wonderful moment.’

Decades later, and the pair are as in love as ever. Saying that Keely 'still makes my heart sing and my world turn,' Pierce told Fox News that the secret to making a marriage work is 'just solving one problem after the other, whether it’s the washing machine or how far the finances are going to go or what your dreams are. Ultimately, we just enjoy each other’s company.’

The actor has also credited Keely with supporting him throughout his star-studded career, describing his wife as having ‘given me wings to fly and gallivant around the world making movies.’

As for Keely, she said of her husband, ‘I understand why women find him sexy, because he is an appealing man. He really likes and appreciates women. He’s intelligent, captivating, and his real beauty emanates from the soul. And, like a fine wine, he’s aging beautifully.’

So Pierce Brosnan and Keely Smith have children?

Pierce and Keely share two sons together. Their first son Dylan, 29, was born in 1997, with their second son Paris, 25, arriving six months before their 2001 wedding.

Both of their sons are following in their parents’ footsteps as models, actors, and keen environmental advocates. Speaking to People in 2019, Paris shared, ‘Our mother has always been hands-on with everything she does, whether it’s Heal the Bay, Save the Whales, or getting our dad involved in things. She’s always been the main philanthropist in the family.’

Pierce is also father to three children from his first marriage: his adopted daughter Charlotte, and sons Christopher, 53, and Sean, 42. In 2013, Charlotte tragically passed away from ovarian cancer at the age of just 41 - the same disease that claimed her own mother, Cassandra.

One year after her death, Pierce spoke to Entertainment Tonight at a Stand Up To Cancer event. He shared, 'To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that part of your sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche. I held the generous, strong, beautiful hand of my first wife Cassie as ovarian cancer took her life much too soon. Just last year, I held the hand of my funny, wonderful daughter Charlotte before she, too, died from this wretched inherited disease.'

Paying tribute to Charlotte back in 2020, Pierce shared a picture of himself lounging on the porch in his Hawaii home. He captioned the post, 'Here’s looking at you kid... in remembrance of Charlotte.'

Social media has a way of spouting out terms to quickly prescribe aesthetic concerns, think: ‘Ozempic face’ and ‘cortisol face’. While you may be quick to roll your eyes at the newest viral health and wellness trend flooding your For You Page, more often than not TikTok is usually onto something. Take the latest skincare term taking TikTok by storm as proof – ‘ferritin face’, which has racked up a cool 16.3K posts and counting.

Ferritin face is being used to describe a pale, dull or tired-looking complexion, often marked by dark under-eyes. I know what you're thinking - 'sounds like me'? With autumn's chilly weather and fewer daylight hours now firmly upon us, that description may seem fitting for many of us right now. But ferritin face, while not a medical diagnosis by any standard, may in fact be a telltale sign of specific abnormalities that are skin deep. We spoke to the experts for the full ferritin face low-down.

What is ferritin?

'Ferritin is a protein that stores iron inside the body and releases it when needed,' explains Dr Asiya Maula, GP at The Health Suite. An important marker when investigating possible iron deficiency, think of it as the body's iron reserve.

'It is important to distinguish ferritin from haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen around the body, while ferritin reflects stored iron. Someone can have depleted iron stores and low ferritin before their haemoglobin falls enough to cause anaemia. This means iron deficiency can sometimes be present even when a standard blood count appears normal,' adds Dr Maula.

Iron is essential for healthy bodily function. Crucial for the production of haemoglobin, it plays an important role in energy production, brain and muscle function, immunity and healthy cell function.

What happens when ferritin runs low?

Dr Maula notes, 'when iron stores become depleted, the body has less of a reserve to draw on to support these processes. If the deficiency progresses to iron-deficiency anaemia, the blood cannot carry oxygen as effectively, which can lead to fatigue, weakness and breathlessness.'

The resulting tiredness isn't ordinary. In fact, Dr Raj Arora, GP and dermatology specialist, says it’s that overwhelming exhaustion where you’ve had a full night’s sleep but still wake up feeling completely drained. Other symptoms can include brain fog, headaches, dizziness, breathlessness when exercising, heart palpitations and feeling unusually cold. Some people also experience restless legs'. Outside of these usual symptoms, iron deficiency can cause some unusual cravings. One of the most recognised is a strong desire to chew ice, known medically as pagophagia. Others may even crave substances such as chalk or clay, a condition called pica, Dr Arora adds.

The five signs of 'ferritin face'

The doctors concur that while the term is trending, there is no specific facial appearance that reliably indicates someone’s ferritin levels and you cannot diagnose iron deficiency by simply looking in the mirror. Aesthetic doctor, Dr Sophie Shotter, on behalf of Allergan Aesthetics explains , 'There is some logic behind the trend. However, there is no distinctive "ferritin face" that you can diagnose in the mirror. Poor sleep, stress, dehydration, thyroid dysfunction, B12 or folate deficiency, pigmentation and age-related volume loss can all create a similar appearance. The useful part of this trend is the idea that our skin can sometimes reflect what is happening internally – but the answer is a blood test, not a blind supplement order.'

That said, a significant case of iron deficiency won't impact the face alone, you'll notice physcial bodily changes all over. It can manifest with hair thinning or shedding, while nails become brittle, unusually thin or develop a spoon-shape appearance. In the face, Dr Arora notes the following telltale signs of iron deficiency:

1. A paler complexion: You might notice that your skin looks more tired-looking and washed out than usual, particularly around the lips.

2. Prominent pallor: This can become visible inside the lower eyelids and on the gums, which can be especially helpful to assess in people with darker skin tones.

3. Dark under-eyes: Some may notice that their under-eye circles appear more prominent, although this is often related to tiredness or changes in skin contrast rather than iron deficiency directly.

4. Lip area: Iron deficiency can also be associated with cracks at the corners of the mouth, known as angular cheilitis, and a sore or unusually smooth tongue.

5. Facial fullness: While some have reported a loss of skin volume, facial sagging and premature wrinkles, there is no convincing evidence that low ferritin directly causes these symptoms.

'The important message is that low iron can affect someone’s health and sometimes their appearance, but there is no single "ferritin face" look. If someone is concerned about persistent fatigue, hair loss or looking unusually pale, it is better to investigate the underlying cause than to try to diagnose it from photographs or social media videos,' adds Dr Maula.

How to remedy 'ferritin face'

Consultant dermatologist, Dr. Archana Rao, agrees that while 'ferritin face' is trending on social media right now 'to describe features such as sunken eyes, sallow and dry skin, chapped lips and brittle hair, these are not specific signs of low ferritin, and a blood test is needed to assess iron levels'. A full blood count, ferritin test and ESR blood tests can help assess whether iron deficiency or anaemia is present, once results are established, 'treatment depends on the severity of the deficiency and can range from lower-dose to higher-strength iron supplements, or iron infusions in more severe cases,' she adds.

A well-balanced diet can also support healthy iron levels. Iron-rich foods include beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, fortified breakfast cereals, leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds. Meat and shellfish also contain iron, including forms that are generally more readily absorbed.

Dr Maula notes, 'eating vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruit, berries, peppers or broccoli, alongside plant sources of iron can help the body absorb more of it. Tea and coffee can reduce iron absorption when consumed with meals, so leaving a gap between them and iron-rich meals may be helpful for people who are trying to improve their iron intake.'

While the experts agree there is no specific case for 'ferritin face', there is a unilateral understanding of the intrinsic connection between the inner workings of the body and its outward manifestation. Should you be facing a concern, our advice is to consult a doctor before jumping on a social media bandwagon.

Only two seasons in and This City Is Ours has gone from being a sleeper hit to one of the most talked about shows on TV.

The crime drama created by Stephen Butchard follows Scouse crime boss Ronnie Phelan, whose desire to retire from criminal life, after one last major drug deal, triggers an intense power struggle between his right-hand man, Michael Kavanagh, and Ronnie's son Jamie.

Since all right-hand men need their own right-hand man, that's where George 'Banksey' Banks comes in, who is played by Mike Noble.

Mike Noble is an actor from Liverpool. He actually grew up near his co-star James Nelson-Joyce and has spoken about the importance of regional accent representation on TV.

He grew up in Walton and trained at Playhouse Youth Theatre while attending Archbishop Beck High School and Liverpool City College.

Filming series two was the longest I'd spent there since moving away when I was 19, and I've really fallen back in love with the place. It's great to be surrounded by fellow Scousers, and it's great to be working close to my family. I'm really, really proud of the series.'

Who does Mike Noble play in This City is Ours?

Mike Noble plays George 'Banksey' Banks, Michael's right-hand man and enforcer. 'Banksey is a very loyal, good friend and a single dad to Freddie (played by Adam Abbou),' Mike has said. 'He's a good father who also happens to sell drugs for a living. I think he'd be a really good neighbour – he'd put your bins away on collection day! But you wouldn't want to cross him.'

Which other TV shows and films has Mike Noble starred in?

Aside from This City is Ours, Mike played Reuben Santer in Dirty Business and has appeared in The Long Shadow, Trigger Point, Help and The Capture.

How old is Mike Noble?

Mike was reportedly born in 1988, making him 37 or 38 years old.

Where can I watch This City Is Ours?

Season two of This City is Ours is available to watch on BBC One every Sunday and Monday at 9pm or on BBC iPlayer. The BBC has already commissioned a third season.

Does Mike Noble have social media?

Yes, you can follow Mike on Instagram @miiiiikenoble. His profile features plenty of This City is Ours content.

This may come prematurely, but we're calling it, Gracie Abrams is 2026's ultimate cool girl. Why? Her way with bedroom pop is as smooth as her laid-back approach to personal styling. Whether on stage or walking red carpets, her elfin features are punctuated with that effortless cropped bixie, impossibly glossy skin, and signature wash of halo lips, which all watermark her lived-in, minimalist beauty MO. But returning to Saturday Night Live as the musical guest for the show's Halloween special, Abrams appeared to have swapped her signature look for one of the most maximalist beauty trends of the moment.

A love letter to Romeo + Juliet (1996), Abrams took to the SNL stage to perform Hit the Wall while donning angel wings, a custom sequin Chanel gown inspired by Claire Danes's smock dress from the film, and even sang from behind an aquarium at one point to nod to the iconic fish-tank meet cute. Something as romantic as the performance itself? Her glam, of course.

Fashioned by her go-to make-up artist Emily Cheng, Abrams' glam was a masterclass in whimsy-maxxing on a beauty front, marked by her nineties and noughties-coded frosty make-up touches. Her pearlescent skin and glazed cheekbones were one thing, but the frosty brief really shone with the help of Abrams' sparkly eyes and shimmery lips.

True to form, Abrams' take on frosty make-up felt modern and elevated – there was no chunky, heavy glitter in sight. In fact, even the fall out from her eye make-up felt purposeful and added to an overall soft sheen. Her grown up take on glitter is no doubt one that many will be sprinting to add to their Pinterest boards as frosty make-up continues to trend.

Speaking of, in its first-ever Beauty Trend Report, Pinterest notes searches for 'frosted make-up' are up 286% across the platform, with users pinning everything from 'metallic lips' to 'silver eyeliner' and 'crystal make-up' to their boards. Now that Abrams' has approved the nostalgic beauty look, there's no doubt it will fast-become the look of festive season, too.

Breaking down the products she used to create the look, Cheng took to Instagram to confirm Abrams' glam came courtesy of a full face of Chanel Beauty. The iconic Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick in Sculpting, £40, was swiped across cheekbones and the high points of the face for that coveted all over glow, while the Ombré Essentielle Top Coat in 220 Blanc Perle, £37, was repressible for her twinkling starry eyes. As for her pout, it was a dazzling combination of Le Crayon Lèvres in 162 Nude Brun, £29
and Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss in 432 Cristal, £39, that sealed the deal.

Keen to give your '90s frosty make-up a modern makeover? These elevated essentials have you covered.

Chanel Baume Essentiel Multi-Use Glow Stick

Once you try this highlighter, you’ll never look back. The formula is creamy, gleamy, and glides onto skin like butter without disturbing make-up. It does way with stark highlight for a glow that looks soft, dewy and natural. Which is why it works just as good on full glam days as it does on no make-up make-up days.

Chanel Ombré Essentielle Top Coat in 220 Blanc Perle

This eyeshadow swerves chunky glitter for something softer and finer that can only be described as akin to the look of stardust. The wash of pearlescent shimmer wears like a second skin thanks to its creamy powder texture and any fallout manages to look flattering.

37

Chanel Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss in 432 Cristal

Complete the look with a swipe of this across the lips. Loaded with lip care benefits, its hydrating and smoothing effects create the perfect foundation for a bed of shimmer and a mirror-like shine. It's. a grown up gloss that will seal the deal.

Everyone has been encouraged to fall down the dragon/ fairy/ romantasy smut rabbit hole at least once. The rapidly growing literary genre is overwhelmingly written and read by adult women, most of whom are Millennials and Gen Z.

This City Is Ours has finally returned, bringing fans back into the depths of Liverpool's gritty criminal underworld.

Season two of the BBC crime drama landed on BBC earlier this month, throwing fans into the messy world of the Phelan family. With shock twists and tense scenes, it's the kind of TV viewing that's perfect for these darker evenings - and frankly, it's well deserving of a top spot on your autumn watch list.

Our latest episodes follow on from the drama of season one, with Michael and Diana barely settled in Spain before they're pulled back into gritty gang business. And as tensions bubble in Liverpool, a familiar face from Ronnie's past arrives to shake tings up.

While episodes are airing weekly over on BBC One, all episodes are available to stream on iPlayer if you're partial to a binge watch.

Opening up about the show, one viewer gushed, 'I have the attention span of a goldfish, but I was truly mesmerised by every episode.. that's some fantastic writers, producers & cast.' Another agreed, 'I genuinely had to turn away, [the show] gave me anxiety.'

And whether they're one episode in or have already devoured that intense finale, viewers are all asking the same question: is there going to be a season three, and when will it air? Let's dive in to what we know so far...

Is there going to be a This City Is Ours season three?

For anyone who's finished the second season already and is desperate to know what happens next, you're in luck. The BBC has confirmed that there will be a third season of This City Is Ours.

Such a hit was season one of the show that the BBC actually commissioned season three before our second installment even hit screens!

Discussing the commission of season three, creator, lead writer, and executive producer Stephen Butchard shared, 'Following the quite breathtaking response to series one, myself, the cast and our wonderful crew were all determined not to drop the ball and endeavour to deliver an even better series two! No spoilers, but I’m hoping this fantastic early commission from the BBC for a third series is an indication that we may have come close to doing just that...hope you enjoy series two as much as we enjoyed making it - can't wait to do it all over again!"

When will season three of This City Is Ours be released?

Here's the kicker... It likely won't land on our screens for a little while yet. Filming for season three is set to begin in 2027, with a release date not yet known. Either way, it doesn't seem likely we'll reunite with the Phelan's until earliest late 2027 - but we'll keep you updated when we know more.

This City Is Ours season 2 is available to watch on BBC One and iPlayer.

After eight gripping episodes filled with surprise banishments, a ludicrous in-plain-sight murder and far too many Traitor confessions, the curtain has finally fallen on Celebrity Traitors.

The nail-biting finale saw our six remaining hopefuls gather at the roundtable one last time, all with their eyes on winning a hefty sum for charity. Claudia Winkleman, as always, looked fabulous. So who outwitted, outlasted, and outplayed the rest to become the ultimate winner?

Who won Celebrity Traitors?

In an electrifying twist, Sebastian Croft and Romesh Ranganathan won the prize fund after voting out Maya, Leigh Anne and Kenny. At the last second, Romesh distrusting James Blunt threw a spanner in the works, resulting in one final vote out that cost James is chance at the prize fund. A truly tense finale, and one for the ages!

What happened in the finale of Traitors?

True to Traitors tradition, the episode kicked off with a final mission, giving the celebrities one last chance to top up the £100,000 prize fund for their chosen charities - ending with £87,000 for the chosen charities. But the real tension began at the roundtable: just like in the original series, the finalists voted to banish one among them — this time, though, the eliminated player’s true allegiance remained a secret.

With Maya sadly gone, the final five headed to the fire pit for the last test. That's where the suspense, of course, reached fever pitch: the group had to choose whether to end the game and split the winnings — as long as no Traitor was left lurking — or risk banishing again, knowing if even a single Traitor survived unspotted, they’d walk away with the lot. Luckily, faithfuls Sebastian and Romesh walked away with the big prize.

How to watch Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked

Right after the main event, viewers could switch over to BBC Two to catch The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked. Hosted by Ed Gamble, the spin-off reunited the finalists and Claudia for behind-the-scenes insight, final reactions, and a few surprise revelations.

Will there be a Celebrity Traitors season three?

It’s not yet confirmed but given the record viewing figures and viral talkability of the show, we have high hopes! We’re counting down to the next round already.

If you judged this book by its cover, you might mistake it for a fun and frivolous tale about modern love. But as you delve deeper into the story of Esther, the protagonist of this debut novel by Irish writer and columnist Tanya Sweeney, you find a raw and complex look at grief, mental health and the dark side of fandom.

Esther is 30-something and married, but also grieving and feeling trapped. When she makes fleeting eye contact with Canadian actor Ted Levy in a London park, she becomes fixated and begins tracking him online. She joins the ‘Tedettes’, his internet fan community, and even manages to track down and befriend his sister. When Ted gets a model girlfriend, Esther blows up her life: she quits her job, takes all her savings and buys a one-way ticket to Canada to track Ted down properly.

‘I worked in the TV and music industries at the start of my career and came up against plenty of superfans and celebrity stalkers, including one who rang me at MTV insisting she was the “secret” girlfriend of a famous popstar,’ Sweeney tells Grazia. ‘Their stories have lived in my head for years. I also began to read up on limerence, which is an obsessive romantic infatuation with another person.’

Then there are parasocial relationships, which are the kind of one-sided, non-reciprocal ones often found between celebrities and their fans. ‘Given how turbocharged both limerence and parasocial relationships have become in the digital era, how could I not write about a woman who uses social media to get closer to the object of her obsession?’ explains Sweeney.

The result is a poignant, but witty, tale that is more Baby Reindeer than Bridget Jones. Esther is both a sympathetic and infuriating character who makes terrible decisions. ‘I’m a huge fan of darkness and light, and I love writing morally grey, ambivalent characters that people can’t help but root for,’ says Sweeney. ‘But her backstory and vulnerability humanise her. People have messaged me to say they read this book through their fingers. As an author, you couldn’t wish for a better outcome.’

Grazia’s Book Club gives its verdict:

‘The cover led me to believe I was getting a fun, voyeuristic peek inside the mind of a fangirl/stalker. But what we got was a heartbreaking, front-row seat to a woman’s breakdown.’ Jesse

‘There was a morbid curiosity in finding out what Esther was going to do next. I found myself hoping she was discovered each time she got a bit closer to Ted.’ Chloe

‘This tragicomedy explores the effects of loss and grief, and it’s written with wit and acute observation.’ Tina

There are plenty of places to shop kidswear, but when it comes to really good basics, Uniqlo is one of the first places I look. I have my favourites, of course. Mini Boden is my go-to for its fun colour-blocking and playful pieces that my son looks so cute in, and Zara's kids' section for stylish shoes and accessories, but I love Uniqlo for its functionality and clever fabrics. From its HEATTECH layers and soft knits to simple T-shirts and easy outerwear, it does the everyday pieces really well, and I find the quality reliable.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Japanese style, too. I love how my little Japanese niece and nephews dress, and I think it reflects what I love about Japanese kidswear more generally. There’s a simplicity to it – relaxed shapes, soft colours and practical pieces that still leave room for children to play and move. But it never feels boring; there’s often a playful print, unexpected detail or pop of colour that gives the outfit a little personality. It’s pared-back without being plain, which is a balance I really love. It also reminds me of Scandinavian kidswear, with its muted palette and easy, everyday feel.

The kidswear has all the simple staples I look for when building my son’s wardrobe: easy barn jackets, corduroy trousers, fleece layers and HEATTECH basics, but there’s plenty of fun in the mix, too. Uniqlo has collaborations with Miffy, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Peanuts, which means you can add a playful print without having to dress them head-to-toe in colour.

But what I really like about Uniqlo is that it doesn’t just make kidswear smaller and cuter. It takes the same approach as its womenswear, no wonder everyone raves about it, with good fabrics, clever technology and really practical design, and makes it work for children, too. You have pieces you can rely on all year round, from breathable AIRism fabrics for warmer days to Heattech when the temperature drops, alongside easy layers and comfortable everyday staples. It’s this focus on fabric and function that makes Uniqlo a little different for me; the clothes are designed around how kids actually live, not just how they look.

Another thing I really like about Uniqlo Kids is that it offers such a lovely selection of unisex pieces. I appreciate that many of the styles, colours and prints can be enjoyed by any child, rather than feeling limited to traditional boys’ or girls’ categories. It gives you a little more freedom when shopping and means you can simply choose pieces based on what you and your child like.

I also think it makes the collection feel more inclusive in a very natural way. Whether it’s a cosy sweatshirt, a practical jacket or a playful printed T-shirt, there’s no need to overthink who it’s ‘for’. You can pick what suits your child, their personality and their wardrobe, which I really like.

It also caters for a pretty wide age range, from babies and toddlers through to older kids, so it’s a brand you can keep coming back to as they grow. And while the palette tends to be more pared-back than some of the traditional kidswear brands I shop, there are enough colours, prints and character collaborations to keep things feeling fun.

For me, that’s the sweet spot. I love Boden when I want colour and a bit more personality, but Uniqlo is where I go for the foundations, the T-shirts, trousers, layers and outerwear that can be worn to school, the park, on holiday and everywhere in between. I want my child's clothes to look good, but I also want him to be able to climb, run, spill things and get on with his day.

So, with the practical basics and playful pieces in mind, here’s what has made it into my Uniqlo Kids wishlist.
