‘THROW ON’, ‘SLIP INTO’ – the language we use for dressing in the heat implies that it’s a breeze. And yet most of the women I know, myself included, have always found summer the trickiest season style-wise. Add to that this year’s sudden staycations and sweaty WFH conditions and the picture becomes even more complicated. Hence, this our first bumper Big Summer Fashion Issue. On page 70, our fashion team have tracked down perfect wardrobe additions, whatever the weather – which you can shop direct from the page with your phone. (See page 6 for instructions.) Elsewhere, we’ve asked pros at summer dressing for their invaluable advice. My big takeaway? Think ‘onion’ layers. And finally, if you are managing to have a break, you’ll need a book. On page 107…

1. New in KALEB FROM ‘CLARKSON’S FARM’ Breakout sensation of this Amazon Prime gem. A man of multiple hairstyles and much obscure farming equipment, who knows where all the best potato-chucking parties are at. PHOTOS: GETTY, BACKGRID, TIKTOK/CLAUDETTE POWELL, INSTAGRAM/LILNASX, MILEYCYRUS, CARDIB 2. New in CLAUDETTE POWELL TikTok megastar and Episcopal nun, whose skincare regime pretty much broke the internet (assuming that’s a thing still? We don’t know…). 3. Non-mover LIL NAS X The hip-hop star who never stops giving: the looks, the sounds, the controversy. See the trail for his new vid, starring the phrase, ‘Does your momma know you’re gay?’ Huzzah! A new catchphrase is born! 4. Up CAPTAIN SANDY YAWN ‘Yes’ to a new series of Below Deck Med (E4)! And ‘yes’ X infinity to Sandy, her…

First Megxit and then that Oprah interview… and now the royals have been hit with another shockwave. The family was caught off-guard again last week, by news that Harry is writing a memoir. Set to be released next year, it will cover ‘his lifetime in the public eye, from childhood to the present day’ and Harry has said he is telling his own story ‘not as the prince I was born but as the man I have become’. It’s believed Harry has been working on the book with the help of Pulitzer prize-winning writer JR Moehringer, who has also written autobiographies for tennis star Andre Agassi and Nike co-founder Phil Knight. Katie Nicholl, author of Harry: Life, Loss, And Love, says the family weren’t expecting the announcement and that it’s…

PHOTO: FRANK LEPPARD PHOTOGRAPHY GOODBYES ARE NEVER easy, so seeing Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and co-star Fiona Shaw shooting in Kent last week – knowing it’s for the show’s final series – didn’t go down well with die-hard fans. After scores of top-flight award nominations and wins in both the UK and the US (including an Emmy and BAFTA for Jodie for her portrayal of ruthless assassin Villanelle), the boundary-breaking thriller is coming to a close. It’s hard to believe that Killing Eve burst into our lives only three years ago, with Jodie’s impeccable accents, that Molly Goddard dress and the show’s long line of world-beating female alumni behind the camera, including Emerald Fennell and, of course, Phoebe Waller Bridge before her. While the plot of the final series has…

SINCE FILMING BEGAN on the Sex And The City reboot And Just Like That , pictures have been emerging from the show’s New York set almost daily, to our general delight. Yet amid all the excitement (why has Big’s ex been spotted?), a vocal minority immediately started complaining that the stars of the show are past continuing the story of those much-loved characters. ‘Old AF’ went one social media post, while comments on one newspaper article sniffed, ‘Please, dye your hair’ – and much worse – under photos of co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon. It all begs the question: when are people going to get used to seeing older women star on screen? It goes without saying that Sarah, Cynthia and Kristin Davis are gorgeous by the standards…

MY SUMMER STYLE is very much like my winter style, I’m a creature of habit. I wear similar styles and shapes all year round, but in summer I wear them in lighter cottons. I love Liberty prints. I’m in a very fortunate position to have my own clothing label, so I can design and make clothes to my exact specifications. I’m a total ‘dress’ girl. Always have been. I love the simplicity and ease of a dress, particularly the wonderful promise of a much-beloved summer dress. I still wear the same sundresses I bought 20 years ago. I enjoy the thrill of releasing them from their winter hibernation year after year. And I adore the sun. All I want in summer is to throw on a frock with my sandals,…

CONTOUR MAPPING This crazy contour technique involves drawing a pixel-like grid on your face before blending all the shades of product together. DRINKING CHLOROPHYLL Sales of liquid chlorophyll have spiked as TikTok users claim drinking the green stuff tackles acne. Nutritionist Jenna Hope says there’s ‘limited scientific evidence to support this’. FALSE EYE BAGS Gen Z are ‘bringing back eye bags’, thanks to TikTok videos with users emphasising the illusion of under-eye circles with grey and purple eyeshadows.…

Date for your diary: 2 September. Japanese brand TOGA is the latest name to join H&M’s collaboration roster, revisiting some of its avant-garde yet easy archival hits for the high street. For Philophiles – the fiercely loyal devotees of Phoebe Philo – Christmas has come early (but better). Loved for her intelligent, emotional designs, the news that the former Céline creative director is to return to fashion next year with an eponymous brand is one reason to be very excited about 2022. You are going to want the lot. Bulgari’s Serpenti Maxi Cabochon bag just got even more desirable. The signature style is updated with new sustainable credentials. In a jewel jade tone, it’s green in every sense. Launching 1 August at Selfridges; £2,130 A NEW EXHIBITION celebrates seven of…

THINK PINK THIS season, but with a little more bite. ‘Although pink is quintessentially pretty, switch up your shades for something a little punchier, and your textures for something with more impact, and pink becomes a beautifully bold statement,’ says make-up artist Mel Arter, the pro behind the looks you see here. Subtle, candy-tinted tones need not apply. TEXTURE PLAY ‘Experiment with clashing textures,’ says Mel, who paired a classic black eyeliner flick with a striking bubble-gum foil. ‘The combination of matte and metallic creates a playful contrast.’ We’re here for that.

One of my favourite things about summer? The beauty products. I love swapping out my heavy, winter scents for soft, floral fragrances and faking a sun-kissed glow with lightweight cream bronzers and subtle, shimmery highlighters, all while using multitasking products like primer containing SPF to protect and smooth skin. Here are my top summer 2021 buys: 1. Charlotte Tilbury Flawless SPF 50 Filter, £39 The cult beauty brand’s first foray into SPF protects from UVA and UVB rays, hydrates and smooths skin to give a soft-focus, glowy finish. 2. Iconic London Sheer Bronze, £18 Get an instant holiday glow with this sheer gel formula that blends effortlessly into skin. 3. Emolyne Lipstick in Luxor, £23 This hydrating, creamy lipstick offers full coverage and lasting colour in one swipe. 4. Lancôme…

WE MAY ALL BE in love with maximalist colour and pattern right now, but black and white has been quietly sneaking up on the inside. For S/S ’21, it was on runways everywhere, and this pared-back look is big in the home too. It does, of course, fit well into a minimal décor, but adding monochrome to a colour-rich look gives a space a cool, sophisticated edge. It’s also a timeless colour combination that works whatever the season.…

ON THE ONE HAND, the steady stream of leaked pictures and stories from the filming of And Just Like That, the Sex And The City reboot, is simply masterful marketing. That first image of Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda strutting down a Manhattan sidewalk – a three-strong force of fashion, attitude and sisterhood – focused our eyes on four becoming three. The spice dames have lost their Geri? Get used to it. Posh, Brainy and Literary spice will do perfectly for now. On the other, they serve as a useful reminder for the gaping hole Sex And The City’s disappearance left in culture. While your husband/boyfriend/slightly-pleased-with-herself girlfriend has been re-watching The Sopranos during lockdowns, the smart money has been on an entire re-evaluation of SATC. You can practically hear the gasps…

1 My first piece of advice is actually from my legend of a dad: don’t go to the pub if you can’t afford a round. I remember him sitting me and my brother down and telling us this, and I’ve never forgotten. Don’t be [one of ] those kids who goes to the pub and, when it comes to your turn it’s like, ‘Oh, I’m out of there.’ No one wants to be that person. No one likes that person. And so my dad [was like], either put your hand in your pocket, or just don’t bother going. And I live by that. Anyway, the bigger meaning, and what I take from it, is live within your means. Because living on the never-never and buying things because other people have…

“In a week of ‘you couldn’t make this up!’ news, Paralympian Olivia Breen was left ‘speechless’ after an official said her sprint briefs were ‘too short and inappropriate’, while Norway’s women’s beach handball team were fined £1,295 for refusing to wear skimpy bikini briefs. The contradictions in these criticisms is farcical; either we’re revealing too much or we’re expected to bare all. The only thing this lays bare is double standards. And it’s not only in sport – our sartorial choices are unequally scrutinised everywhere from politics to boardrooms. How about we stop judging women’s outfits and start prioritising comfort, safety and our needs instead?”…

MELANIE LAURENT MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL JODIE TURNER-SMITH MARION COTILLARD JODIE FOSTER FINALLY, AN AWARDS ceremony where Zoom was not invited. After being cancelled last year, the 74th Cannes Film Festival saw the A-list descend on the South of France (IRL!) for a 12-day celebration of cinema. And they were making up for lost time, packing some serious red-carpet swag. But if gla-more, more, more was the motto after-dark, for days mooching on the Croisette it was all about tapping into that inimitably French breed of effortless elegance. Except you can imitate it – and easily too. It’s all about picking the right pieces, from simple white shirts to do-it-all dresses. Et voilà! Here are the heatwave-proof style lessons from Cannes that will make getting dressed a breeze for the rest of…

Ever since it was announced that there was a Sex And The City revival in the works (sans Samantha, sob!) we couldn’t help but wonder… What’s in store for Carrie ’n’ co now? With And Just Like That filming now underway, here’s what we know so far… Carrie is still the ultimate shoe gal but now she’s two-timing her beloved single-soled Manolos with platforms from Celine and Saint Laurent. Big’s about in some form, at least according to the initials on Carrie’s ID bracelet: CBP. Fans know what that means – Carrie Bradshaw Preston. But lines from a leaked script suggest trouble between them. ...But so is Natasha, looking as Upper East Side as ever. We hope she got her happy ending (and dental work). Their social set has expanded…

MY LOOK I’ve been wearing Adidas x Pharrell Williams Human Race track pants and Yolke pyjamas with heels SUSAN BENDER WHITFIELD Creative director, stylist and contributing editor at British Vogue I’M GOING TO be an Anglophile this summer. I’ll go up to Durham, which is like my second home in England, and stay on a farm. My summer style has changed a lot. Lots of people lived in tracksuits during lockdown, whereas I still dressed as I would normally. But now I’m adopting more sportswear out during the day. I’m loving wearing cycling shorts in bright colours with things you wouldn’t normally put with them, like a smart jacket and high heels. I’ve got a pair of satin mules with studded diamanté and I’ve been wearing them religiously – even…

EVEN IF YOU don’t call it ‘Instagram face’, you’re definitely familiar with Instagram face. It’s an aesthetic that has ruled social media and reality TV for years: matte skin (heavily tanned if you’re Caucasian), wide, high cheekbones, cat-like eyes and pouty, thick lips. The term was best unpacked in a 2019 New Yorker article, in which New York hair colourist Cara Craig summed up the look as ‘sexy baby tiger’. Think Kardashians, think Jenners, think Hadids – think almost every female Love Island contestant, from Megan Barton-Hanson and Montana Brown to Maura Higgins. But wait. Instagram is for olds now, which is why 2021 is all about… TikTok face. ‘I’d definitely say TikTok face is the polar opposite of Instagram face,’ confirms Alexia Inge, co-founder of Cult Beauty. For one…

MIGHT EMMA BREWIN’S furry bucket hats, with their ravey-glam swagger, be the unofficial mascot of summer 2021? Absolutely, at least according to Rihanna, who is one of the British milliner’s most dedicated fangirls (Dua, Miley and Ariana also adore). It makes sense, as Brewin’s ‘feminine, romantic, sexy, powerful’ hats invite fun. ‘The first hat I made was for myself for a night out, that’s how most of my hats are born,’ she says. ‘By making and making until something happens that I want to wear and dance in immediately.’ Here for a lifetime not just a good time, Brewin’s designs are lovingly handcrafted in a small seaside studio. Each hat is made to order to avoid waste (excess faux fur is reimagined as earrings). ‘Feedback I get from my customers…

Girls When SATC’s Miranda moved to Brooklyn her friends should’ve whooped with joy, not decried her failure. Lena Dunham invented four friends who preferred Williamsburg to The West Village – and became a Millennial icon. Emily In Paris Lily Collins does mini-Carrie on the Left Bank.

Younger Darren SATC Star’s dependable treatise on a woman faking her age to get on. Addictive. Divorce SJP moves upstate for a new version of Carrie, looking down the barrel of the other end of relationships. Sad and exquisite.

WILL 2021 BE THE summer of Main Character Energy? The generation TikTok concept that encourages the youth du jour to be the headline act in the festival listings of their own lives (the Beyoncé of their circumstances; the leading lady of their every brunch, beach trip, supermarket foray, hen do, even if they aren’t the hen, especially if they aren’t the hen). Maybe. Main Character Energy has been doing the internet rounds for a year – encouraging all who scroll upon it to romanticise even their most anodyne everyday act to a point of pivotal-scene-in-a-movie-script significance, principally through the medium of sparkle-effect selfies, in which the camera is trained on them and only them, everyone else is but an insubstantial smudge on the screen – but is peaking right now…

SHOPPING: CHARLOTTE PAVITT.PHOTOS: GETTY,, BACKGRID, INSTAGRAM/VICTORIA BECKHAM A SUGGESTION FOR your summer wardrobe: boots. ‘Whatever next?’ you may ask. ‘Sandals for winter? Denim after dark? Swimwear on the street?’ Well, yes, actually – that’s all happening too. With the boundaries of seasons and dress codes blurring into irrelevance, we’re increasingly taking items from our closets out of context. So, back to boots. An unlikely micro-trend of the S/S ’21 runways (seen at Dolce & Gabbana, Celine and more), their August appeal might not be instantly obvious, but they’ve got a lot going for them. For starters, they’re a saviour for those of us who have gone a little longer than we wanted to for a leg wax or pedi. They’re perfect for those ‘will it, won’t it rain?’ days. They…

I LIKE MY OUTFITS to be able to transition from day to night, as I rarely have time to change. I’m all about full white or full black looks. My go-to pieces are slip dresses, vintage Levi’s denim, white shirts tied up into a bow, and my Prada re-nylon shorts, which I live in. It’s my base canvas for stacks of Alighieri jewellery. It’s very funny, because our team has a strange knack for subconsciously wearing iterations of similar outfits on the same day. White jeans, tied-up white shirts and layers of molten gold is a sight you will often glimpse at the Alighieri HQ! I bought the most amazing white linen skirt – high-waisted, just above the ankle, with two pockets – from a vintage market for £25. We…

FAUX FRECKLES Faux freckles are a great way to create the illusion of barely-there make-up (even if you’re wearing more than you’d care to admit!). TikTok user @bexcxmpbell uses her finger to dab dinky dots on to skin for an ultra-natural effect. Try: Freck Faux Freckle Cosmetics Pen, £17 at beautybay.com THE CONCEALER ‘FACELIFT’ Through the clever placement of concealer (just a smidge on the outer corners of your eyes and lips), you can achieve a notably lifted look. While the ‘instant facelift’ claim is undoubtedly a stretch, we’re still into this less-is-more approach. Try: bareMinerals Original Liquid Mineral Concealer, £24 at cultbeauty.com PASTEL LINER Easy to DIY, cheap and ultra-chic, the pastel eyeliner trend is one we’re very much into. Keep the rest of your make-up minimal and let…

HAUTE HOMESPUN NOBODY LIKES a spoilsport. So, if you are yet to secure a flight to a green-list destination, don’t greet those who have with a scowl – simply smile and get into the holiday spirit yourself. Because even if your suitcases look set to remain in storage, consider haute homespun jewellery your passport to farflung glamour. Part picked-up-on-a-beach trinkets, part jet-set bohemian luxury, these pieces conjure up endless summer vibes. Seek out mixed materials and organic stones with an intimate handcrafted touch and pile them on – the more the merrier. You can almost feel the sand between your toes.…

I’VE ALWAYS DREADED summer. While everyone around me, both online and in real life, pines for the long, warm days and nights of the sunny season, I feel anxiety creep in at the mere mention of it. Because summer, to me, has never meant barbecues in the garden or Aperol Spritz on a roof terrace, but rather body anxiety and the ritual of having to swap my usual uniform of baggy, body-covering layers for skimpy summer attire: shorts, swimwear and strappy tops. Summer forces me to confront a body I’ve been uncomfortable with, and that has been painful. All of this has been compounded, of course, by diet culture driven around being ‘summer-body ready’. Growing up ‘chubby’ – an adjective I detested, but one that people often used to describe…
