I’M CERTAINLY NOT the only one obsessed by Sienna Miller’s stealth wealth wardrobe in Anatomy Of A Scandal. The Cefinn dress her character Sophie wears has sold out, as the show’s become one of Netflix’s biggest hits – now the most watched English language TV series worldwide. So why does Sienna Miller still hold such selling power? We examine just that on page 14 and meet the woman responsible for her on-screen style. Race you to the rails of beige……

It seems Parliament is a hotbed of sleaze. Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan has spoken out about the scale of sexual harassment at Westminster, recalling an incident when she was ‘pinned up against a wall by a male MP’ (who has since left the House). ‘All women in Parliament have been subjected to inappropriate language, wandering hands… it doesn’t change,’ she said. Those in power must take all forms of sexual misconduct seriously. Until female MPs are properly protected, all women will feel excluded from politics.…

FOR NEARLY 20 years Sienna Miller has occupied a contradictory space. At the same time as being globally famous she has teetered on the brink of ‘making it’ in Hollywood; her fame has threatened to dwarf her filmography. So, when Sophie Whitehouse – the woman she plays in Anatomy Of A Scandal – complains of being ‘under and overestimated my entire life’, Sienna might have identified. It’s with the Netflix six-parter that Sienna has a mega hit on her hands. The week of 18-24 April, Anatomy Of A Scandal was the streaming giant’s most watched English-language show. The cast, including Rupert Friend and Michelle Dockery, is solid; Sienna is the star. As Sophie, Sienna plays a woman whose picture-perfect life is flipped upside down when her Tory MP husband (Rupert…

WORDS AND SHOPPING: JULIA HARVEY WHAT CAN A GREAT spring dress do for you? Well, almost everything. On those mornings when picking an outfit is simply beyond any brain capacity, a superhero dress is on hand to take the hassle away. And it gets even easier: we’ve already hunted down the best do-it-all dresses for you, the ones that don’t confuse ‘versatility’ with ‘boring’ (as a general rule, midi styles offer the most 24/7 potential, looking as good with knee-high boots as they do with sandals). Consider these new season frocks your ultimate wardrobe grafters, taking you from (painfully long) morning meetings all the way through to those (not long enough) after-work drinks, from weekend supermarket shops to wedding season, from hot days to nippy nights. Sure, you work hard,…

PHOTO: BACKGRID SINCE DEBUTING HER baby bump in January, Rihanna has been rewriting the pregnancy rule book. No outfit has been too daring, no heels too high. From fashion week to the cover of Vogue, the singer-slash-entrepreneur has been in her element, and her relationship with A$AP Rocky has appeared stronger than ever. But at the end of last month, on returning from a trip to Barbados together, Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) was arrested at LAX Airport in connection with a non-fatal shooting last November and released on bail of £421,000. According to police reports seen by NBC News, an unnamed victim – who sustained a minor injury – claimed the rapper shot at him three or four times. One of the bullets reportedly grazed his hand, and the…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, INSTAGRAM/GOOP FORGET JOURNALING and wild swimming. The latest health trend having its moment is sexual wellness, with sales of so-called ‘sex gummies’ and other female libido-boosting supplements, apps and gadgets soaring post-lockdown. As with (nearly) all things wellness, Gwyneth Paltrow has been leading the charge. The woman who brought us rose quartz vaginal eggs and a candle called This Smells Like My Orgasm has launched a range of supplements called DTF (‘down to f* ck’). ‘We’re not ashamed to say we want to help shift our sex drive into gear,’ said Gwyneth of the $55 (£43) a jar supplements that contain shatavari, fenugreek seed and saffron extract, which help increase blood flow and testosterone and, with them, female desire. (A study of women aged between 20 and…

SO FAR, there are 848 public events and more than 1,000 street parties organised to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year service. The biggest event will be the Queen’s birthday parade (Trooping the Colour) on 2 June, where more than 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will come together to mark HM’s official birthday. Beginning at Buckingham Palace, the parade will move down The Mall to Horse Guards Parade, joined by members of the royal family on horseback. The jury is out on whether Meghan and Harry will attend, the pair are reportedly concerned about security in the UK since stepping down as senior royals, but insiders say they were reassured during a secret meeting with the Queen ahead of the Invictus Games. Kate and William’s children – George,…

PHOTO (POSED BY MODELS): GETTY THIS WOMAN is crazy, I thought. No matter how many times my wife tried to explain it, I simply couldn’t (wouldn’t?) accept that the things she was saying were true. How could they be? ‘It hurts me when you do things like this, Matt,’ she would say. I’d stand there dumbfounded, considering whatever she was complaining about this time. I was certain that what she was saying couldn’t be true. If a little dish sitting next to the sink hurts you, I’d think, then we have way bigger problems to worry about. What are you going to do when actual bad things happen? I didn’t think my wife was a liar. But sometimes she would offer a thought or a feeling she was having –…

JANE Mc FARLAND ASSOCIATE EDITOR, GRAZIA PHOTO: EILISH M c CORMICK MY HUSBAND AND I met 11 years ago, the old-fashioned way – in a slightly sweaty pub on a nondescript Wednesday night. We got engaged on our 10th anniversary. It wasn’t the endless ‘Will they, won’t they’ questioning regarding our potential marriage that bothered me, but rather, what on earth would I wear? It’s an occupational hazard: working in fashion means people expect you to have the industry’s A-Z on speed dial. No one talks about the pressure. Trotting to international fashion shows, salivating over a new designer or item and subsequently needing to buy it right now; the idea of a fashion obsessive settling on just one dress that you’ll love for the rest of your life is…

PHOTOS: GETTY CURRENTBODY LED EYE PERFECTOR What it does: A combination of LEDs, emitted at four different wavelengths, target the delicate skin around the eye. Over time, LED has been shown to increase collagen production, plump skin and reduce fine lines (to which the eye area is particularly prone). The warm light emitted feels cosy, too. Cost: £199; currentbody.com PANASONIC PORTABLE FACIAL STEAMER What it does: It’s no coincidence your skin looks more radiant after five minutes in a steam room; those hot clouds unclog pores and boost circulation, lending a covetable glow. The steam from this device, however, is 18,000 finer, meaning it penetrates skin deeper. Cost: £99; panasonic.com THE WHITE COMPANY PORTABLE AIR DIFFUSER What it does: With both style and substance, this sleek diffuser has a filter…

You Made A Fool Of Death With Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi Feyi’s husband died five years ago and she’s now taking her first steps back into the dating world. After a hot fling – from chapter one, it’s steamy – she meets someone who could be someone. But then she meets his dad, also widowed, and life gets messy. By turns raunchy, sad and uplifting. Book Lovers by Emily Henry You know the tropes: workaholic moves to small town, learns life lessons and ends up with the laid-back local. But when cut-throat literary agent Nora is transplanted to rural North Carolina, instead of meeting a charming lumberjack she keeps running into her New York work nemesis, Charlie, another Type A city slicker. Hush by Kate Maxwell Stevie leaves a…

Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk ■ Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK SUPER SOLOS I’d like to high five Laura Antonia Jordan and join with her in feeling no shame in being single (‘Being single doesn’t define me’, 2 May). I’ve never been in a relationship but was wondering if there was something wrong with me. I’m independent, enjoy my freedom and have great friends. I’ve enjoyed flirtations but never felt a real buzz. Whenever I sensed someone liked me, I panicked. I had an epiphany last week that if a relationship was something I truly wanted, I’d have tried harder. If I’ve been self-sabotaging, it is likely my heart really isn’t in this goal. I felt the weight lift off my shoulders. Just because I’m…

SO OBVIOUSLY I’m watching The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On, Netflix’s new reality show. As you may have guessed from the title, it revolves around long-term relationships at crisis point, because one half of each of the six couples desperately wants to get married while the other does not. Fortunately, hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey are here to sort them out: ease (/push) them all to a point where they get engaged, split up or run off with another participant entirely. And let’s not dwell on Nick’s early declaration: ‘Psychologists agree an ultimatum is not a good way to get somebody else to do what you want,’ because viewers agree that an ultimatum is a good way to get people to watch telly. Obviously, The Ultimatum is brilliant and awful…

PHOTOS: GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK ‘It was definitely the elegant and understated we were going for, rather than the sparkles and the sequins,’ says Sam Perry, the Emmy-nominated costume designer of Anatomy Of A Scandal on Sienna’s turn as the best-dressed woman in Westminster. ‘Lots of elegant tailoring, nothing too tight, nothing too overtly sexual. Really classic, dignified, but with a fashion-forward look.’ Clearly it has resonated. Her impeccable 1% wardrobe – including that sublime white dress from The Row and the sumptuous cashmere Max Mara coats – has generated increased searches around those brands, according to Lyst. Another fan is Samantha Cameron, a woman who understands the intricacies of dressing for a political life better than most. Her Cefinn Lottie dress, a geometric-print, tie-neck design, also appears in the show. ‘It…

FOLA WEARS: TOP AND SKIRT, BOTH MICHAEL KORS IF YOU’RE A FAN ofCall My Agent! – the super-sharp, super-chic French comedy drama about a Parisian talent agency and its celebrity clients – you’d be forgiven if you approached Ten Percent with a little trepidation. Could a British version of such a quintessentially French show really work? But Ten Percent is more than simply ‘the UK Call My Agent!’ – it has its own distinct personality (and humour), skewering the unique absurdities of the British workplace and our entertainment industry. ‘It’s a different flavour. We’re paying homage to the amazing work they did in the French original but putting a British spin on it,’ says Fola Evans-Akingbola, who plays Zoe, an aspiring actor and the agency’s receptionist (a character roughly based…

PHOTOS: TIKTOK/LIZZO, BAKEDBYMELISSA; INSTAGRAM/LOWCARB_NOCARB TIKTOK HAS GIVEN US the Y2K style revival, the 12-3-30 workout and the return of the claw clip – why shouldn’t it solve lunch, too? That’s exactly what’s happening now with the Green Goddess Salad, a couldn’t-be-fresher spring recipe that proves even cabbage has viral potential. The salad is simple: cabbage, baby cucumbers, spring onions and chives, all finely diced and mixed with lashings of herby green dressing. It’s the creation of Melissa Ben-Ishay, founder and CEO of bite-size cupcake chain Baked By Melissa – the world’s only snack entrepreneur who moonlights as a salad-fluencer. Her recipe video has racked up more than 21 million views. Melissa says her recipe appeals to so many people because (a) it’s easy, and (b) it still feels like a…

PHOTO: STOCKSY FIVE WOMEN walked into a restaurant, ordered two bottles of wine and admitted to each other what they had not previously dared to voice, even to themselves: their lives were out of control. Linda Babcock, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, had called this meeting of work acquaintances in search of support. She told them she was feeling overwhelmed, personally and professionally. It was like she was constantly working, but never achieved anything of value – every time she ticked one task off her to-do list, it was replaced by two more. ‘I want to say no, but I feel like I can’t,’ Linda said. ‘I’m a mess. Is it just me?’ The response from her friends – all high-achieving and established in their respective fields…

*NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. PHOTOS: GETTY TALL, DARK AND handsome has long been the widely accepted hot man holy trinity. There’s excitement in tilting your head up to look into somebody’s eyes before you kiss. Comfort in feeling their chin rest on the top of your head as you hug. But the tides are turning in the seas of lust. The shift started, as trends now so frequently do, with Zendaya. At 5ft 8in, she stands two inches above Tom Holland – glamorously unbothered by their height difference. An opposer to the ‘I can’t wear heels now’ ideology, she strode on to the red carpet at the Spider-Man No Way Home premiere in five-inch Louboutins and slipped her arm around his waist. It looked sexy – and powerful. From Tom…

PHOTOS: INSTAGRAM/GWEN STEFANI, PHOTOKOHLI FINDING BRIDESMAID dresses to suit everyone in your fleet is no easy task; plus wouldn’t it be nice to skip the cheesy matching line-up in favour of something your wedding party might actually want to wear again? Enter Vera Wang – just about the biggest name in the wedding biz – and her latest collaboration: an affordablypriced bridesmaid collection, designed in partnership with Pronovias. The 72-year-old designer has long been a go-to for A-list brides – Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Ariana Grande all wore Wang – and now she’s turned her attention to bridesmaids. ‘I just wanted to shake it up and offer the bride and her bridesmaids, and even guests, a whole new sense of fashion – clothes that are fun,’ Wang explains. Rather…

THE LINEAGE OF the hot priest on TV goes back, in my mind at least, as far as the early ’80s, with ITV’s steamy Australian period piece The Thorn Birds and Richard Chamberlain’s Father Ralph – who wrestled his ecclesiastical calling with a profound trouser itch for a wealthy landowner’s daughter called Meggie. Since then, of course, we’ve had Andrew Scott scorching the confessional in Fleabag and James Norton as a crime solving vicar in Grantchester, the first member of the clergy to vie for the role of James Bond. Sermons have never looked quite so delectable. To this merry band of smouldering men of the cloth we must now add Tom Hiddleston, first witnessed wrangling a sheep in boggy marshland in Clio Barnard’s adaptation of the spooky Sarah Perry…

1 Be honest about what you don’t know. I’m still finding my feet with my homeware brand Glassette – running a business is such a new world for me. The past year has been really brilliant and really difficult. But I think being honest about the challenges you face is a good thing: it means you stay curious, you keep learning, you seek out the information you need. That’s how you progress. 2 It’s all content for the book. My friend Caroline Flack told me this. Whenever something ridiculous happens to me, I try to remember it. It helps you to see those bad decisions or failures as just another part of your story, something to learn from, rather than regret. 3 Make your to-do list achievable. I’m a prolific…

ABORTION IS A HEALTH RIGHT I read with sadness Polly Vernon’s column about Poland’s abortion rights (2 May). I was shocked by how cruel the laws still are there. While the country has been amazing in helping Ukrainian refugees, I can imagine the terrible predicament some will undoubtedly find themselves in, having been raped by Russian soldiers and left pregnant. As if these poor women have not suffered enough, they will be forced to have the baby. I did not realise Europe could still be so backward. Also, I would like to give Polly a big virtual hug for bravely sharing that she has also had to endure being pregnant by an abusive partner, but was fortunate to be able to access a termination. Sharon…

PHOTO: BEN QUINTON EVEN BY THE current standards of British politics, last weekend’s Mail On Sunday ‘story’ on Angela Rayner, titled ‘Basic Instinct ploy to distract Boris!’, waded into new, grim waters. The full-page ‘hit piece’ – based on reports from anonymous Conservative MPs – claimed that when Rayner steps up at PMQs ‘she knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks’, before accusing her of uncrossing and crossing her legs, presumably flashing her genitals as Sharon Stone did in the 1992 thriller. (The MPs should have paused before letting this reference so lasciviously slip off their tongues, considering Stone revealed this was shot without her consent. Nice one, lads.) Rayner’s spokesman described the humiliating allegations as ‘categorically untrue’ and…

SHOPPING: JULIA HARVEY. PHOTOS: GETTY, INSTAGRAM/ARIANA GRANDE, TRACEE ELLIS ROSS DEAR SNEAKERS, slides and slippers: we sincerely thank you for your service over the past couple of years. And while we will always have room in our wardrobes (and hearts) for you, your reign of comfort is over. Because now the clip-clop clatter of S/S ’22’s most ‘It’ of It shoes is getting louder and this summer belongs to the power platform. It wasn’t so long ago that there were murmurs about the end of heels. What nonsense that turned out to be! They’re not just back but super-charged with soles as thick as a Yellow Pages and humungous heels to match. With more than 113 million views on TikTok and fans including Hailey Bieber, Naked Wolfe’s platform boots topped…

AS A COUPLE, they seemed to have it all: the Made In Chelsea star and the ‘boy wizard’ of the art world, whose glamorous life involved flitting from skiing in St Moritz to partying in Ibiza. Now, though, Victoria Baker-Harber’s art dealer partner Inigo Philbrick is facing up to 20 years in an American prison after being exposed as a ‘serial swindler’. Inigo, 34, is due to be sentenced this month for his part in what the court heard was an elaborate £65 million Ponzi scheme, scamming art collectors and investors by selling the same artwork to different people, as well as selling pieces he didn’t own. He has been in custody in the US since 2020, when he was arrested on the private island of Vanuatu in the South…

MINDFULNESS AND MOUNTAINS THE CHEDI, ANDERMATT This gloriously decadent hotel will seduce you quicker than you can say ski – the very thing you’ll be doing zero of as you won’t be able to leave its walls. Despite soaring ceilings and spectacular chandeliers, in a coffee and chocolate palette it’s as intimate and sumptuous, with interiors nodding yes to the Alps, but also to Asia – think latticework panels and Japanese paper lights. The spa, however, is the hotel’s calling card. In a steel-frame glasshouse, the pool, flanked by giant squishy sofas, is the perfect place to decompress and people watch. Outside, there’s another pool as hot as a bath, with a mountainous view worthy of a screensaver, while downstairs you’ll find a hydrothermal area, Finnish saunas and plunge pools.WE…
