IN THIS RESTRICTIVE world, where we’ve been stripped of even the freedom to hug our loved ones, it feels increasingly important to seek out pleasures where we can. That could mean wearing the cosiest cashmere socks for a night on the sofa watching The Crown when it finally returns (page 48). Or investing in a piece of homeware that brings you joy now you’re spending more and more time there (find some inspirational ideas on page 98). And then there’s a night out watching a live performance by one of the UK’s many talented artists, like our cover star, ballerina Francesca Hayward. As she puts it on page 66, art is like medicine for the soul – we mustn’t undervalue its importance. Enjoy the issue. I hope it brings you…

“One 2020 positive? Reading has enjoyed a renaissance Publisher Bloomsbury has revealed its profits jumped 60% between February and August – its best in half a decade – as people ‘rediscovered the pleasure of reading’ in lockdown. Pre-pandemic, sitting down to a good book was a luxury for many of us, as we dashed between social engagements. Now, the meaning of luxury has been turned on its head as things we used to take for granted – like seeing friends and family – have become the biggest treats of all. While this year has a lot to answer for, at least we’re indulging ourselves where we can, like curling up with a good book we’ve been meaning to read for years.…

1. Up MARCUS RASHFORD Acing this impossible year. A masterclass in how to effect change: with minimal talk, zero righteous preaching, focused action and a clear end goal. 2. New in DR JULIUS FEW MD Plastic surgeon and close personal friend of Gwyneth Paltrow. Handsome, calm and considered to the point of us wondering if we’ve made him up. 3. Non-mover JILLY COOPER Forever in our lust on account of Rivals. Recently revealed she sends an average of 40 Valentine’s cards every year. Strong effort, JC! 4. New in RANVIR SINGH Bringing it, on Strictly. A woman already fully engaged. We use the term ‘journey’ rarely, but make an exception in this case. We look forward to hers. 5.

HANNAH BANKS-WALKER.. PHOTOS: BACKGRID PERFECT MOMENT WHICHEVER TIER you might find yourself in currently, chances are you’ve found that much of your social life is now taking place outside. While socially-distanced walks and al fresco lunches seemed appealing during the summer months, this brisker weather isn’t exactly the perfect host for such activities. But that doesn’t mean we’ll be disheartened – rather than abandoning our friends altogether, it seems many of us have already started adapting our wardrobes to suit the situation. Searches for thermals are soaring on Google by 220%, as we all seek a robust sartorial solution to this problem. The clothes you once only considered for practical pursuits? They’re now the pieces that will help you endure a winter spent huddled outside with your nearest and dearest.…

MARCUS RASHFORD, THE Manchester United and England footballer, has an ambition. He wants to make sure no child in the UK goes hungry. If you’ve scrolled through his Twitter feed recently, you’ll see he has already done a pretty incredible job. After calling for the Government to provide free school meals during holidays for families who need them, over a thousand businesses, councils and charities stepped in and offered their support over half term. Marcus has retweeted hundreds of them. When lockdown came, he knew the crisis and school closures could exacerbate food poverty. So, he persuaded the Government to provide a scheme for free school meals during the summer holidays, contacted FareShare, a food redistribution charity, became their ambassador and helped them to raise millions in funds. Before he…

WITH THE UNUSUAL circumstances of 2020 changing the film landscape, awards season is shifting. Release dates have moved back, with deadlines for nominations and ceremonies falling in line accordingly. With many predicted frontrunners being delayed, it seems independent films will have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make an impression. For Sienna Miller, that means 2021 might be the best chance she’s ever had to walk away with a career-changing nomination. Her latest film – Wander Darkly , from rising director Tara Miele – sees Sienna star with Diego Luna as bickering couple Adrienne and Matteo. Their relationship is going through a rough patch as they juggle a new baby and big mortgage. A date night doesn’t succeed in healing their divisions, but Adrienne’s real troubles begin when a road accident on…

LAST YEAR, I asked my GP if she thought egg freezing was worth the hair-raising cost. She said, ‘You’re 34, you’ve got time, maybe give online dating a go?’ I laughed – honestly, did she think I hadn’t tried the app merry-go-round? I may not have a burning desire for a child right now, but I didn’t want to bury my head in the sand until my body took the option off the table. Egg freezing seemed like a sensible solution. We’re the first generation of women able to press pause on the biological clock, and I’m grateful for that. But unfortunately that freedom doesn’t come cheap. In the UK, it costs up to £8,000 per round of egg collection, and since doctors recommend banking at least 15 eggs, you…

PHOTO: CHRIS WATT WHEN I PUT down the phone, I became aware of silence. No noise, no movement… no job. They said my senior management role was being made redundant. So I was out. I sat on the sofa in shock. A few tears, a few ‘Why am I so upset?’ and ‘I’ve ruined Christmas for everyone.’ It was 20 December 2016. No one would be in the mood for talking employment opportunities. More than anything, I felt alone. Then I felt immediate action was required. Apply for everything. Register on Indeed, LinkedIn and with recruitment agencies. Three weeks and 32 applications later, the rejections were coming in thick and fast. And that’s the thing: you feel it’s best to apply for as many positions as possible, but that only…

PHOTOGRAPHS ALEX BRAMALL FASHION NATALIE WANSBROUGH-JONES SOME BUILDINGS ARE meant to be full of people. Without the bustle and anticipation of an audience, London’s Royal Opera House feels eerily silent. On a rainy Wednesday, after a temperature check and a hand sanitise, I walk through deserted corridors to an empty meeting room. It’s all feeling a bit bleak – until a beaming Francesca Hayward bounds in, a ray of sunshine in black sweatpants and zip top, fresh from rehearsal and buzzing with delight about being on our cover. ‘Grazia is genuinely the highlight of my fortnight,’ she grins, taking a seat at the other end of the table. On stage, Francesca is poised and ethereal and, in Dior for our cover shoot, she is exceptionally beautiful. But off-duty she’s refreshingly…

CHRISTY TURLINGTON BURNS is talking to me from her Manhattan home, where she lives with her daughter Grace, 17, son Finn, 14, and husband Ed Burns (an actor, director and producer who you’ll likely recognise as the guy Cameron Diaz kicks out of her LA home at the beginning of The Holiday ). As the mother of two teenagers, and at 51 years old, Christy is experiencing a shift in family dynamics. ‘I feel like, yet again, my role as a mom is very different. Now my daughter will make me something to eat and bring it to me if she sees that I’m on the phone for too long, you know what I mean? There’s a sort of role reversal.’ The events of 2020 have more than reinforced Christy’s…

Swap a coffee table for a large ottoman There are no hard edges and people can perch on it. Hang a mirror It’s the oldest trick in the book but it does enhance light. At night, it adds atmosphere. Pop in some rattan It’s a simple, inexpensive material but put together in a skilful way. It’s beautiful but adds a casual feeling. Use fabric curtains to replace doors or cupboards Fun and effective, they take up less room than a door (which needs space to swing out) and add a nice accent of colour.…

Catch up on… This Is Us The shift to Amazon Prime for the fifth season of the schmaltzy and deftly plotted US family drama is the balm for the high drama going on elsewhere. It’s soapy, sentimental, occasionally ridiculous and absolutely smells of autumnal Sundays under a blanket on the sofa. Amazon Prime now Watch live… Small Axe What an essential fortnight for TV this really is. The first of Steve McQueen’s anthology series will place John Boyega front and centre of a story he already owns off-screen: why Black lives matter.

JULIA RESTOIN ROITFELD MODEL AND ART DIRECTOR ON MOVING TO LONDON, INSTAGRAM AND HER LOVE OF ‘PEEP SHOW’ PHOTO: LAURA BAILEY I moved to London at the beginning of August and I’m really enjoying it here; I’m pretty psyched. I wanted to make this move for a while. I lived in New York for 16 years before coming here and I was there for lockdown, which, to be honest, I quite enjoyed. It was nice to have the opportunity to be at home and spend time with my daughter and just enjoy a more quiet New York and do the things I’ve never had time to do, like bike rides. I don’t start having time to take care of myself until my daughter [eight-year-old Romy] is in bed. But the…

I found some of Tineka’s comments, especially about having a mixed-race child and their not being ‘accepted’ by the Black community, to be negative. We have a teenage son who we’ve brought up to be confident and proud, accepting of others, and not feeling the need to be accepted by any particular community. He has his own community of friends from diverse backgrounds. I wish Tineka and Alex love and happiness and hope that they don’t let others’ opinions affect their relationship.

PHOTOS: GETTY AN ACQUAINTANCE and I wind up sitting on adjacent tables in the same caff, which is awks because we’re in London, aka Tier Two, forbidden from socialising indoors with anyone from another household, so: ‘Do we ignore each other? Or should one of us leave?’ my acquaintance asks. Feck knows, I say. We end up staying and talking – carefully, mind, with the Government’s sacred space allowance, so there’s no droplet spatter. For this is what our lives have come to. She asks what I miss most of pre-Covid life. I say: all of it. ‘Nah!’ she says. Yes! I say. I miss regrets. I miss waking up, hungover and fearful, after Just One Drink turned into nine, a lot of crisps, a minor indiscretion, and a venue…

LAST MONTH, HARRY and Meghan entered the next phase of their post-royal lives by launching a website for Archewell, the charitable foundation that they will run from their new base in California. It started simply: a basic, taupe homepage, and a definition of Archewell as a portmanteau of ‘arche’ – ancient Greek for ‘a source of action’ and ‘well’, ‘a place we go to dig deep’. It may be a mere teaser but, make no mistake, the new site is a sign that the couple are preparing for a very busy 2021. Earlier this year, Harry and Meghan confirmed that they had founded the foundation, saying they hoped ‘to do something of meaning, to do something that matters’ ‘when the time is right’. Since then, they’ve stepped back somewhat –…

VANESSA KIRBY The most talked-about performance of this year’s Venice Film Festival was her turn in Pieces Of A Woman, as a mother-to-be who suffers a devastating tragedy and must negotiate alienation in the aftermath. KATE WINSLET Mary Anning, a 19th-century palaeontologist, is a legend in her field, but Kate’s performance in romance Ammonite imagines a passion for more than fossils. The role could see Kate bag her second Oscar. SAOIRSE RONAN Kate’s Ammonite co-star already has four Oscar nominations at just 26, and she’s worthy of another. As Charlotte Murchison, the younger and wealthier woman tutored by and fascinated with Anning, she’s innocent, infuriating and entirely real. CAREY MULLIGAN It’s the combination of tough-as-nails bravery and strange vulnerability that make Carey riveting in Promising Young Woman. She plays Cassie,…

IN NOVEMBER 2016, Netflix unveiled what would become one of the biggest jewels in its collection: The Crown. Rumoured to be the most expensive TV series ever made, it took viewers on a journey both familiar and unknown. Its subjects, Elizabeth II and her family, are some of the world’s most famous people; and now their demons and inner turmoils have been revealed on screen. We’ve seen abdications and deaths, affairs and betrayals. But, as the hotly anticipated fourth season steps into the ’80s, we’re set to witness new heights of royal drama. Until now, the Queen – played by Claire Foy, then Olivia Colman – has always taken centre stage. But now she must share it as two of British history’s most influential women arrive on the scene: Margaret…

1. How am I feeling today? Acknowledge you’re experiencing loss and give yourself a break. You may need time to process. 2. What do I want? The feeling of being stuck is a sign you are ready to move on. Thinking ‘now what?’ is a positive moment. Ask yourself, what does my ‘ideal tomorrow’ look like? Explore ideas for how you can make that happen. 3. Why do I want to do this? Your ideas may feel overwhelming. Slow down and explore your goals, feelings and expectations. Getting clarity on ‘why’ will give you the energy to achieve it. 4. How can I achieve this? Do three things a day to move you towards the goal.

As the leaves fall and the clocks go back, thoughts turn to the end of the year and the approach of the festive season (whatever that will mean in 2020). Get yourself prepared by stocking up on a few early gifts – and why not treat yourself at the same time? It doesn’t have to be extravagant, maybe some top quality dark chocolate or a luxe handcream. And who doesn’t love pretty new pyjamas and fluffy slippers?

During lockdown, Grazia helped me through being unwell. Your 2 Nov issue, though. I love it! The diversity, not only visually but with content, is amazing. I applaud you for being as inclusive as you are, which feels real and not like a knee-jerk reaction to the current climate. I’m mixed-heritage and growing up never saw anyone in magazines who looked like me or had articles aimed at me. Here come the curls and Hands off our hair! were a breath of fresh air. And in the feature about a mixed-race marriage, Tineka talked of being hesitant about having children because of how difficult it can be to navigate two identities. As mixed-heritage people we can be discriminated against by the Black community, as well as white. Thank you for…

PHOTOS: NEW YORK TIMES/REDUX/EYEVINE AFTER FOUR YEARS of controversy, preposterous moments, polarised politics and erratic tweets, America went to the polls. The US election is always a major occasion, but throw in a global pandemic, a recently-hospitalised President and some socially-distanced debates and it’s safe to say 2020’s will rival Watergate when it comes to most studied political events in American history books. This election won’t just affect Americans, but the entire world. Whether you like or loathe the result, understanding why a country voted the way it did is crucial – the outcome will be probed, pored over and unpicked for decades to come. So, we asked four American women to explain their reasons for voting the way they did… Why I voted for... BIDEN Sterling McDavid, 31, from…

YOUR TOP HALF is permanently swaddled in cashmere, while your bottom half hasn’t seen a zippered waistband for what feels like months. But here’s an idea for re-energising your dressing: leather. After percolating as a trend for three seasons thanks to Bottega Veneta – as well as appearing on the catwalks at Burberry, Gabriela Hearst and Hermès for next season – it’s gotten a third wind thanks to Meghan Markle, who has worn two pairs of faux-leather trousers in as many weeks (both were Stella McCartney). Meanwhile, Irina Shayk has discovered the trans-seasonal power of a leather blazer (great for sharpening up a silky slip skirt). And then there’s the fact that it’s actually pretty cold. Last month, Tan France posted the following observation on Instagram: ‘It’s almost leather weather.…

AT FIRST GLANCE , it might have appeared that 2020 was the year of the purely practical purchase: the masks, the hand sanitiser, the Wi-Fi upgrade (still not? Come on!). But, stealthily, there has been a luxury kickback happening, as we look to make purchases that elevate our mood, be that a pair of glitzy earrings, an ultra-cosy cashmere knit or a red lipstick. After all, we still want to feel special. And, right now, luxury buys don’t come more special than Louis Vuitton’s new ArtyCapucines Collection. Having launched last year, the collection sees six global contemporary artists personally invited by Vuitton’s executive vice president, Delphine Arnault, to reinterpret Vuitton’s Capucines bag – a sleek top-handle design – through the lens of their own distinctive creative vision. Testament to Vuitton’s…

This series of The Crown will also focus on the other woman who dominated ’80s Britain: Margaret Thatcher. Actor Gillian Anderson bears an uncanny resemblance, in blue suit and blonde helmet ’do. We’ll have to wait to see if she nails that other trademark: the voice. Margaret (never Maggie to her face) started off with frilly blouses and a high, nervous trill, too posh for the times that were a-changing when she became our first female PM in 1979. At first, in that ferociously male-dominated world, she struggled – until the Falklands conflict of 1982, which showed her not as an outsider, but as the best man in her cabinet. I entered Parliament the following year as one of only 23 women out of 656 MPs. She invited new MPs…

ANYONE CONSTANTLY THINKING about deleting their social media accounts? I mean, even more than usual? I don’t know if it’s the news, or the feeling of exposure (is there some kind of virus-filtering mask I can wear to go on Twitter, that blocks out all the nasty stuff?), or the reminder that real life has never been more at odds with our dreams and desires. But every time I go on there I feel even further from myself than ever. My brain feels crowded and my heart feels alone. However, I’m not considering a blanket phone ban. I do not – for once – need a digital detox. And I’ll tell you why. WhatsApp. Yes, group messaging is pretty much justifying my phone’s entire existence right now. In her new…

UNLIKE MOST OF France’s storied houses, Chloé is known more for its woman than a single silhouette or garment. Christian Dior had his New Look. Cristóbal Balenciaga had his bubble hemlines. And Coco Chanel had her tweed suits. But Chloé, founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion – the woman famous for popularising the idea of ready-to-wear – was always most known for its attitude. The Chloé girl. ‘All I ever wanted for Chloé was to have a happy spirit, to make women happy,’ Aghion once said. And now, as the label navigates the most challenging period of modern fashion history, one that has practically rendered age-old signifiers of glamour irrelevant, the maison’s creative director of three years, Natacha Ramsay-Levi, takes a similar approach. ‘I’ve always had this fascination with the…

THE MATTE MOVEMENT ‘Formulations of matte products have really moved on recently,’ says Andrew Gallimore, the pro make-up artist behind the looks you see here. ‘Modern formulas don’t look cakey. Take NARS’ new Soft Matte Complete Foundation, £28, used here – it doesn’t feel heavy-duty, yet delivers long-lasting coverage that won’t budge under a mask.’ It’s great for Zoom, too. ‘If you want to swerve the shine on camera, a matte foundation does the trick. Plus you don’t need to use powder to set it.’ We’re here for that.

EVERYONE REMEMBERS their first day in a big, scary office. That curious feeling of being ready to take on the world combined with paralysing impostor syndrome. For the young graduate incumbents of PierPoint & Co – a generic-looking glass trading bank in the City of London – that contemplation time is confined to the walk from the tube. Their induction ceremonies come fast, hard and loose. For anyone who has ever considered working in the City, Industry, a heavily hyped new BBC drama, is not so much a cautionary tale as a full red flag. Early into the multi-strand ensemble piece, it’s clear that the big trade-off here is not with a hedge fund operative but with employees’ young souls, their entire identity. One is placed on a permanent coffee-and-salad…

PHOTO: NATHAN GALLAGHER WHAT DO model Jodie Kidd, Olympic gold medallist Denise Lewis and Love Island winner Jack Fincham have in common? No, this isn’t a trick Zoom-quiz question. The answer is these are just three of the names set to appear on ITV’s upcoming adventure series Don’t Rock The Boat, a new reality show where 12 celebrities, from all walks of life, row the entire length of Britain. And, as if that wasn’t tiring enough, the two teams will also take part in brutal on-shore challenges to try and secure advantages over their opposition. ‘It’s a real mixed bag,’ host AJ Odudu laughs on the phone to Grazia, talking about the cast. ‘But honestly, it works.’ The eclectic mix of celebs didn’t always get along, though. ‘There’s drama, as…
