YOU'VE (ALMOST) MADE IT! The end of a(nother) strange year is in sight - a year that saw three Prime Ministers, 250,000 mourners queue to pay their respects to the Queen and more of that Miu Miu miniskirt than seemed possible. We capture it all in our 24-page review of 2022: with enough reads to keep you entertained if you're on a delayed train struggling to get home for Christmas. (Good luck!) Wherever you're spending the festive period, take heed from Nigella and co's guide to hassle-free hosting (page 94) and switch off with some great TV (see page 40 for our guide to the shows to binge-watch). Crack open the Baileys - and we'll see you on 28 December with our New Year issue! @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

TIME, THEN, FOR me to write my now-annual Christmas Is A Bit Painful And Confusing Actually And You Needn't Be A Grinch Or A Freak Or A Weirdo To Agree column. I'd apologise for the repetition, but past outings have proved popular enough for me to think it legit. Either you already read me last year (/the year before) and agree (in which case you'll think it bears repeating), or you didn't (in which case you'll either find this next bit comforting because #YouToo, or surprising, because you love Christmas, every tinsel-spangled sentiment-laden Driving Home For Christamas-soundtracked second of it, and hadn't paused to wonder if those who do not might have proper reasons for it, as opposed to just being killjoy meanspirited Scrooge McGrumps). I find it hard, OK?…

IT HAS BEEN the most hyped and eagerly anticipated TV event since, well, The Crown. Harry and Meghan have finally had their say in the first three episodes of their Netflix docuseries, with the second volume being released on 15 December - the day of the Princess of Wales's carol concert at Westminster Abbev. The second part is worse - much worse. Serious allegations of racism, suicide, royals turning on one another via the press and a deliberate agenda to oust Meghan are levied at Buckingham Palace - and particularly King Charles and Prince William. One would have to have a heart of stone to not be moved by the phone video diaries recorded by Harry and Meghan in March 2020, just as they'd finished their last stint as working…

10 HOT STORIES POP THE MOËT! How to kick off the festive season in style? A glorious red-carpet soirée, where TV and film's hottest stars rubbed shoulders with the best-dressed names in fashion at the British Fashion Council's annual Fashion Awards. In an Awards first, Tilda Swinton was in attendance to honour her long-time friend and co-founder of ‘90s magazine Dazed And Confused, Jefferson Hack, who received a Special Recognition Award for Cultural Curation, while The Crown star and new fashion plate Elizabeth Debicki celebrated Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard's Outstanding Achievement Award. Alongside supermodels and fashion designers, Industry stars continued their chic run on the red carpet - Harry Lawtey (aka Rob) wore S.S Daley, who also scooped the British Fashion Council's award for emerging talent, while Marisa Abela (Yasmin)…

BACK IN THE NORMAL days, Christmas always used to expose two extreme sides to humanity: those who would dream in Mariah Carey and start counting down sleeps till the next Christmas on Boxing Day, and those who saw the seasonal shopping frenzy as a grotesque display of capitalist indoctrination. Well, this year, both extremes are on steroids. It's the first ‘normal' Christmas since 2019, so for the Mariahs, it's cause to cast off the Covid shackles and celebrate hard enough to compensate for years of cancelled fun. Meanwhile, the anticonsumerism brigade is wasting no time reminding everyone that we're in a cost of living and energy crisis. Thought the battle lines at your post-Brexit Christmas of 2016 were awkward? Here are the likely flashpoints at your family festivities this year…

KIM KARDASHIAN Kim's dress - the actual one worn by Marilyn Monroe - was the only news at this year's Met Gala. Should she have revealed how much weight she lost - and how - to fit into it? And did she really wreck it?! You'll have to visit Florida museum Ripley's Believe It Or Not! to find out… RIHANNA Pregnancy dressing will never be the same again thanks to RiRi, who wore (in no particular order) crop tops, latex, bodystockings and sheer negligees while expecting earlier this year. After a hiatus, red carpet season was hack - with bells on. And the stars delivered in looks that broke the internet ZENDAYA Making history as the youngest ever recipient of two Emmys, Zendaya wore not one but two custom looks…

IT HAS BEEN THE year of the celebrity courtroom drama. We witnessed Johnny Depp v Amber Heard. Rebekah Vardy v Coleen Rooney (aka ‘Wagatha Christie’). Ryan Giggs went on trial over an alleged assault on his ex-partner; he pleaded not guilty and will face a re-trial after the jury failed to reach a verdict. Then there was Blac Chyna's failed $ 100m defamation case against the Kardashians - in which she claimed they conspired to have her show, Rob & Chyna, cancelled. The list goes on. In all of these cases, social media was lit up with commentary, often eclipsing the facts being presented in the courtroom. These trials became entertainment, where lawyers became actors, testimonies tell-alls, and real lives storylines. In the case of Wagatha Christie, Vardy unsuccessfully sued…

The Ugg boots Over 148.6 million Views for ‘mini Ugg boots' on TikTok and counting… The Mango mules The £59.99 shoes sold out, got restocked, sold out again. The Bottega Veneta jeans Matthieu Blazy's clean slate first look of his debut Bottega Veneta collection: jeans that weren't just jeans (they were trompe-I'oeil leather). The Prada vest Prada's tank had major clout. In data crunched by Trendalytics in November, social buzz for the white vest was up 543% on last year. The Valentino platforms Higher = better. Plus, you can thank Pierpaolo Piccioli for spearheading this year's big return for Barbie pink. The Miu Miu mini The micro skirt with major impact. A social media sensation that got its own Instagram account: @miumiuset. The Balenciaga bag Dua, Bella and Julia all…

1. Linda Evangelista landed her first Vogue cover since peak supermodel era, opening up about the trauma of experiencing cosmetic surgery disfigurements, and returned to the catwalk for the first time in more than a decade to close Fendi's show during New York Fashion Week. And she looked fierce throughout. 2. Season four of Stranger Things introduced a new Gen-Z icon in Kate Bush, whose Running Up That Hill became a surprise early summer transatlantic number one hit, 37 years post-release. 3. Top Gun: Maverick reminded us that, sometimes, dumb, homoerotic action and men in uniforms is all a summer blockbuster needs. Who knew that Tom Cruise would be the film star of the year, four decades after his first box office christening? 4. Elvis Presley was, temporarily at least,…

WHEN I HEARD about 22-year-old Mahsa Amini's death in police custody, I had a flashback to 1981, when I was expelled as an English teacher from Tehran University for refusing to wear the Islamic hijab. In the decade that followed I realised I could not teach the way I wanted to if I stayed in Iran. I lectured on the importance of Western literature and culture, but the regime censored me. So, I moved to the US, where I was able to advocate for the women of Iran without censorship. I'm still there now. Four decades after I was censured for my dress, Mahsa Amini was shopping in Tehran when she was arrested by the so-called morality police for wearing her hijab ‘improperly’. Her death in custody on 16 September…

Have your say… Email us at feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk ■ Find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @GraziaUK CLAPS DON'T PAY THE RENT I was really pleased to read your Grazia View, More power to underpaid NHS nurses (28 November). Having spent the last 15 years nursing in the National Health Service, I - like so many others - can no longer continue under the constant pressure that we are facing. It's nice for once to see some accurate and sympathetic articles about the upcoming strikes - the rest of the media seems to be turning against nurses and paramedics who are striking and have seemingly forgotten all about clapping the ‘frontline heroes' during Covid, while we all struggle on. Thank you. Ceri STICKS AND STONES… Polly's column, How Meghan triggered me…

1. New in THE HOT NESPRESSO ‘THRUPLE’ Christmas brings us ads, and our lust is piqued by the notion that Clooney, Jean Dujardin and Camille Cottin share an apartment block! 2. New in THE NEW CELEBS GO DATING CAST Pete Wicks and Cecilie Tinder Swindler and Sinitta and Gary Lucy and Anna and Paul and Tom, and last, but in no way least, Rob Beckett's flawless voiceover. 3.

Non-mover NAOMI In our humble opinion: this woman was born to wear overlapping layers of transparent chiffon while diamonds cascade from her neck. 5. New in WEDNESDAY ADDAMS' RAVEN DANCE An inspired piece of movement (ref ep…

Meghan reveals why she wears so much camel: ‘You can't ever wear the same colour as Her Majesty if there's a group event, but then you also shouldn't be wearing the same colour as other more senior members of the family.' Neutrals also meant she could ‘blend in’. Harry and Meghan wore matching penguin onesies at their fancy dress engagement party ‘because penguins mate for life’, according to Meghan's friend Lucy Fraser. Meghan sat next to Prince Philip at her first royal Christmas in 2017. ‘We chatted and it was so great… [Harry] was like, “You had his bad ear. He couldn't hear a thing you said!”’ Harry casually signed off their wedding invitations with his nickname, ‘Haz’.…

GRAZIA INTERVIEW In real life, Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu is very much as she came across on the show: sunny, confident and occasionally slightly ridiculous. ‘People just love my personality,' she says solemnly. ‘I get emails about how I've helped so many people with their confidence, how they want to be like me, I'm their icon. And it's never been like this before on Love Island - people have been addicted to watching me and Davide.' Then she adds a note of modesty. ‘It's like, why would anyone watch me? I'm just being myself. Am I that entertaining?’ The answer is: yes, she really is. Ekin-Su maintains that she didn't think about the audience while she was in the villa, but it was clear from the moment she sashayed…

RECENTLY, HEATHER JAMES walked into her local garden centre. ‘I was with my husband, and they had all their Christmas decorations up and the grief just hit me,' she says. ‘Deborah loved Christmas, and this is the first year she's not going to be with her children as they decorate the tree and open presents. It will be really hard, and my heart breaks for them. But we will do what Deborah always did, which is be grateful for what we have and try to find the joy. Because it's always there.’ Deborah, aka @Bowelbabe, died on 28 June this year, aged 40, having raised £7.5 million for cancer charities in the last two months of her life. In her final weeks, she also published a best-selling book, How To…

Alastair Campbell, former Downing Street director of communications under Tony Blair and now co-host of The Rest Is Politics podcast, reflects on a torrid year for the Government IF A COUNTRY gets the politicians it deserves, then Britain clearly did something very bad in a previous life. In the past few weeks alone we've had Matt Hancock embarrassing himself - and further debasing politics - in the I'm A Celebrity jungle (before resigning); Minister of State Gavin Williamson's third expulsion from Government; Kwasi Kwarteng revealing that he warned Liz Truss their ruinous mini-budget would be a disaster; and Rishi Sunak assuring the country that the Conservatives are the party to take us forward, just as official data shows we are entering the longest recession in history. Sunak, our third Prime…

BENNIFER'S REAL LIFE ROMCOM The venue: A midnight dash to Las Vegas's Little White Chapel in July (with only J-Lo's twins in attendance) followed by a three-day celebration at Ben's 87-acre Georgia estate, where celebrity life coach Jay Shetty officiated over the 45-minute ceremony. The guest list: Matt Damon, George Clooney, Jane Fonda, Renee Zellweger and Jimmy Kimmel - who all wore white, as per the dress code. The bride wore… an Alexander McQueen dress (recycled from Jen's 2004 film Jersey Girl) and a Zuhair Murad gown in Vegas. Then three custom made Ralph Lauren numbers for the Georgia celebrations. BRITNEY'S HAPPILY EVER AFTER The venue: After five years of dating, Britney and Sam Asghari tied the knot in the grounds of their LA home in June, in a marquee…

GRAZIA FASHION The film to stream Something From Tiffany's (out now on Prime Video) 1. LAST-MINUTE SHOPPING DASH WHEN BRAVING THE SHOPS FOR THOSE FINAL ESSENTIALS, IT'S ALL ABOUT PRACTICALITY (THERE'S NO TIME FOR ACHING FEET OR TOO-HOT KNITS HERE), EASE AND COMFORT ARE KEY. Gift wrap hack: forget faffing with rolls of wrapping paper; pop prezzies into hampers nestled in tissue paper and finish with a bow (the bigger the better). Tuck in a candy cane or add a sprig of something festive for the final flourish. 2. THE NIGHT BEFORE COSY UP IN MATCHING PJS. FOR PEAK SNUGGLY, OPT FOR TARTAN FLANNEL OR BRUSHED COTTON - OR, IF YOU'RE FEELING FANCY, GO FOR MATCHING SILK SETS FOR A SERIOUSLY CHIC VIBE. 3. THE BIG DAY ARE YOU ALL ABOUT…

1. 1 Night, Mura Masa ft Charli XCX Charli's vocals on this track are so sick, the beat is impeccable and it has the ability to get you moving while simultaneously getting you all in your feels. 2. Ye, Burna Boy I'm really happy that Afrobeat has become so popular in the UK, with Burna Boy - and his smooth, sublime voice leading the way. This song is good vibes all round. 3. Work It Right, Missy Elliott I don't think there's ever been another artist who sounds like Missy Elliott, and I don't believe there ever will be. 4. Roses, Outkast A bona fide party anthem. It's that track that gets everyone singing along in unison at the top of their lungs. 5. Soulmate, Lizzo Watching - nay, basking…

I love bronze with purple.'

The last song I listened to… Keep On Dreamin' by The Arcs. The last book I read… Childhood and Youth by Tove Ditlevsen - the first two volumes of The Copenhagen Trilogy. The last piece I added to my wardrobe… a vintage sea foam silk shirt. The last fashion mistake I made… the mistakes always turn out to be the good fashion days. The last meal I cooked… swordfish marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, capers and garlic, served with yellow cauliflower rice and fresh seaweed. The last beauty product I finished… Cellular Goods' Rejuvenating Cannabinoid Face Serum. The last holiday I went on… home to Denmark for the summer. The last time I cried… I was watching Netflix's After Life for the second time. The last gift I bought……

13 DECEMBER 2022 ’Tis the season to… take care of yourself Oh, what a year it's been. Whether you stayed plugged in to the buzz of every bulletin, or you processed the news in a more leisurely way, it was impossible to escape the deluge of major events, or the knock-on effect many of them had on our lives this year. But now it's time to wind down. Whether you go wild for Christmas or you struggle with this time of year, it's the season to take care of yourself and switch off. Amid the chaos, why not schedule in 12 days of self-care and do something small that makes you happy each day? Let this be the season to rest, relax and recharge. 7…

BROWNS FASHION BEST… TROPHY FASHION PIECES Running all the way until 13 January, Browns Fashion's official winter sale is already underway with up to 50% off. Dreamy, right? But, if you can, hold off investing in your new favourite designer items until Boxing Day, when there will be up to 70% off, plus more pieces added to the sale. TRADITION HAS IT that 26 December will herald the national pastime that is the Boxing Day sales. That used to mean queues, or trawling pages of products, sold-out sizes, ill-judged purchases and general stress. But it doesn't have to be that way. The rules are: don't over-buy, don't impulse buy and don't buy for the wrong reasons. We've all been guilty of an impulse sales purchase, but an item isn't a…

IT'S BEEN 24 YEARS since Lindsay Lohan became an overnight child star with her performance in Disney's The Parent Trap. The child star label was to be an ominous one for Lohan, as she encountered the huge pitfalls that often come with such early success: by 2012 she had been in court 20 times, served two weeks in jail, and had checked into rehab six times. Lohan told Oprah during their infamous sit-down in 2013 that she hated that her name had become ‘an adjective and verb for bad behaviour and child star gone wrong’. Now, after a 10-year fame hiatus, during which the 36-year-old has been living in Dubai with her new financier husband Bader Shammas, Lohan is finally back - and, more importantly, she's happy and healthy. In…

2022 REVIEW OF THE YEAR IT WAS THE SWEARING that gave the game away that this was not just another Oscars skit. It was 27 March 2022 and I was at the Oscars, as I had been almost every year for the past decade, covering the annual ceremony for The Guardian. And it's always fun - of course it is. But the whole thing is so tightly controlled that nothing especially surprising ever happens. After all, this is an event where you have to show two proofs of identity just to get in. Spontaneity is very much not the point. Until Will Smith screamed obscenities at host Chris Rock. I had an excellent view of Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, sitting just yards behind them and one level…

ADELE PULLS THE PLUG All hell broke loose when Adele pulled out of her Vegas residency 24 hours before curtain-up because the show ‘wasn't ready’. ‘It was the worst moment in my career,' she later said, but returned with a barnstorming show last month. SPIT-GATE After we viewed 100 different angles of the alleged spit (and came to as many conclusions), it turns out Harry Styles did not spit on his Don't Worry Darling co-star Chris Pine, both confirmed. KIM & PETE SPLIT Odd couple Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson split a year after their SNL kiss, breaking the emo-couple holy trinity (of Kourtney K and Travis Barker; and Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly). RIHANNA GETS LIPPY The Fenty founder paired with Brooklyn art collective MSCHF for a stunt…

AND JUST LIKE THAT, this year is in the rear-view mirror. But just how much of a 2022 cliche were you? Maybe you ticked ofi all the must-watches and unforgettable moments. But did you miss a TikTok trick or two? Maybe, thanks to wonky weather, cost crises and Mad Vlad, you decided you were better off living under a rock. If so… welcome back and strap in, it's been one hell of a ride. WHAT WE BINGE WATCHED… A diet of And Just Like That, SJP's Sex And The City reboot, hit the spot from start to February finale. Then it was Euphoria season two and those bathtub memes, plus the final series of Derry Girls (thanks Heartstopper for plugging the void). Stranger Things gave us plenty of Halloween inspo…

‘No Christmas Day is complete without a host of family and friends gathering around a feast of spuds, sprouts and stuffing. To serve up a true visual feast, look to the non-traditional with a hero tablecloth of bright and clashing prints-we're not ones for muted tones here at Liberty. Look for ways to bring people together by peppering your table with interactive elements for in-between courses and something extra special, like a beauty, boozy or accessories-filled Liberty cracker. ‘Tis the season, after all.' Charlotte Pavitt, junior interiors editor, Liberty London…

GRAZIA FASHION FEATURE GIVEN WHAT IS euphemistically referred to as the ‘current climate’, you might think it madness to launch a party collection right now. But that's exactly what Erdem Moralioglu (who, for the record, is not unhinged but thoughtful, bright and sensitive) has done. ‘We've come out of really strange times, we continue to live in really strange times,' he tells me during a break between fittings for his Pre-Fall 2023 collection. ‘So the idea of creating something that feels special is really interesting.’ Rather than ask ‘why now?' perhaps a more pertinent question is ‘what took him so long?' Since founding his brand Erdem in 2005, the British-Turkish designer has established himself as London's resident romantic. It has made him a favourite of today's Bright Young Things and…

THE POWER OF RITUAL Mornings in the Moss household sound enviably serene - meditation followed by a cup of Cosmoss Dawn Tea. ‘It's a gentle, uplifting start that helps me cope with the day ahead,' says Kate. Her homeopath and spiritual guide, Victoria Young, actively encourages rituals. ‘She always says to me, “Kate, a ritual is routine with intention,” which makes sense to me. She has a huge influence on my wellness journey.’ A MOMENT OF CALM ‘I like to meditate, it helps me reconnect with myself,' says Kate. ‘I've tried all sorts of techniques and find guided meditation suits me best.' How long are we talking? ‘I was doing 20 minutes every day at one point, but 10 minutes is enough now.’ MINDFUL SKINCARE ‘My approach to skincare is…
