Beyoncé Where? Courtside at a basketball match in New York with husband Jay-Z. What She’s Wearing: A £500 (!) insect-embellished Gucci T-shirt, boyfriend jeans, a tailored blazer, barely-there sandals and, the pièce de résistance: Gucci’s Dionysus bag, worth a whopping £2,130. Fashion News Writer Hannah Banks-Walker says: ‘Of course Beyoncé is a Gucci girl. Since new designer Alessandro Michele took the helm, the Dionysus bag has become the accessory of the moment, and Bey’s striped version is dreamy. While I’ll not be dropping most of my rent on a tee anytime soon, you can recreate the look from your own wardrobe. I do believe she woke up like this. Bow down.’…

“A blog isn’t essential anymore” You don’t become the world’s most influential blogger overnight, and Italian beauty Chiara Ferragni has come a long way since she first began uploading her daily looks to Flickr in 2007. Fast-forward to 2016 and The Blonde Salad (her blog-turned-lifestyle website) has amassed a colossal fan base, leading to campaigns with Guess and Superga, a spot on Forbes 2015 '30 Under 30’ list (the only blogger to make it) and her own accessory line. And she’s only 28. Thanks to her head-turning style, she’s become every designer’s dream clotheshorse and a fixture on the hottest FROWs. Between city-hopping, making millions and her new role as Amazon’s European Fashion Ambassador, the style maven found time to chat outfit regrets, building her empire and what it takes…

Shopping for your wedding dress can be an absolute minefield. Not only have you got to navigate the endless options – Strapless? Lace? A-line? There’s also the matter of managing the budget. With the average wedding now costing an eye-watering £30,000, it’s tricky to find affordable options that don’t feel like a compromise. Well, hello ASOS is all we can say. When we discovered that the online behemoth was launching its own range for The Big Day, we have to admit we felt a bit giddy. And now that the full collection has landed, we’re practically euphoric. From short, 50s-inspired silhouettes to full Princess gowns, luxe embellishment and long-sleeved, column dresses, ASOS Bridal is a veritable pick 'n’ mix of the best wedding wonders around. There are 18 pieces to…

FAMILY They’re both from ‘up North’ and are close to their families (Chez says the only person she trusts is her mum). Cue joint family trips to Harvester etc. PUNCH IT OUT They love boxing. Cheryl’s been training at swanky boutique boxing gym Kobox, while Liam has admitted in the past that he took up boxing as a teen to fend off bullies. 1D VS. GA Cheryl and Liam have both experienced the good and bad sides of being in bands. No jealousy about the mass hysteria here then! TATT’S LOVE Both share a love of getting inked. Cheryl is rumoured to have a total of 12 tattoos while Liam appears to have clocked up at least 13 .…

Meet The Team Samantha Freedman Beauty Editor Victoria Jowett Beauty Writer Gabrielle Dyer Beauty Assistant The Multi-Tasking Mascara I like a lot of volume when it comes to my lashes! That’s why (1) L’Oréal’s False Lash Sculpt Mascara, £9.99,is my new go-to. It has a one-sided bristle brush that curves to hug every lash – so you only need a few coats for tonnes of mascara. The micro bristles and tapered tip mean that you can even line your upper waterline, by pressing the wand into the roots of your lashes. If, like me, your hands are a little shaky, keep (2) Prestige Cosmetics Makeup Eraser Pen, £7.99, close by. Victoria Black Out Eyes Meet my two hero lash perfecters: (3) Smashbox Photo Finish Lash Primer, £17 and (4) Rosie…

1 Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Protector Look’s Sam Enriched with skin-soothing vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, the oil-based formula was really long-wearing. The slim packaging is perfect to take out in your clutch, too. Jessica I have quite thin lips so I liked the small stick and found it easy to apply. It gave my pout a lovely sheen, but was a tad greasy. 2 Kiko Kiko, pH Lip Enhancer Look’s Sam This clever little vanilla-smelling stick was velvety smooth, the twist-up applicator made light work of reapplying and it’s purse-friendly too! Jessica I wasn’t a huge fan of the pencil shaped applicator, it was quite messy. Although the colour suited me, it was quite light on the lips and faded quickly. 3 Zelens Lip…

Ah denim, that trusty wardrobe staple. There will forever be a place in our hearts – and wardrobes – for the blue stuff. But sometimes, well, we want something a little more exciting than a skinny jean. High-five to Gap then – its latest haul is the stuff of jean genius. Cropped kick-flares, ’90s straight legs, floral embroidery, kimono jackets – these pieces are ticking off new season trends left, right and centre, as well as oozing timeless appeal. If you haven’t already, add an all-in-one to your denim arsenal. Mega model Malaika Firth has got us pining for a pair of flared dungas (if only we had her pins) while that boiler suit will revolutionise your weekend wardrobe. No kidding. So, go on, give your denim a 2016 upgrade……

The buzz in the fitness world right now? It’s all about Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Why? Because it takes your normal workout and multiplies the effects of it by oh, about 18 times. Yes, you read that correctly. Electrical muscle stimulation is nothing new and it’s been used by athletes for many years but only now is it making it’s way down to us. It’s all about training while wearing a special EMS electronic exercise vest, with wires that deliver impulses through electrodes onto the skin (à la Rosie, below left) which engage every muscle group. Attractive? Maybe not. A game-changer when it comes to your daily workout? Absolutely. 'During traditional exercise, the brain sends signals to the muscles to bring about contractions,’ says Rebecca from London-based EMS pioneers E-pulsive…

Steal Some Stella Florals If, like me, you spend your lunch hours drooling over clothes you can’t afford, then Oasis’s floral buys will cheer you right up. A nifty homage to Stella McCartney’s Resort 2016 bloom print, but at a snip of the designer price tag! You can rock the dress now over a roll neck, then get away with wearing it solo for a wedding. I love the clean white top, too, but it’s made for a braver woman than me. Chloe Back In Stock Comfortable, cool, catwalk-inspired… is it any wonder Dune’s brought their Heti heel out as a flat!? They’re approx £500 cheaper than Valentinos after all… Gilly A-List Fit Kit I have a confession: my name is Gemma and I’m a gym-kit addict. Seriously, my collection…

1 Grab Some Gucci Frills If, like us, your Gucci girl crush knows no bounds, you’ll be delighted to hear we’ve found a way for your wardrobe to cash in on it. Next season’s catwalk was all about a frilly knit, which handily ticks off spring’s love of all things ruffled. Don’t be confused, just buy one. 2 Mary Janes – The Dolce Way If anyone can make the humble Mary Jane look like the hottest shoe we’ve seen since Carrie’s cobalt Manolos, it’s Dolce & Gabbana. Given the luxe treatment in all-over glitter or sporting a rather opulent heel, head to Topshop and Next for a could-be-catwalk feet treat. 3 Spotted On The Street: Paintbox Pleats Milan Fashion Week gives seriously good street style – those Italian gals have…

“At first Cheryl found the secrecy exciting, but now they both want to shout it from the rooftops” Leryl? Chiam? Cherayne? It’s just so hard to choose their joint name. When it was revealed that Cheryl, 32, and husband of a year Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, 35, were going their separate ways, who could have predicted that three months later the star would be cosying up to One Direction singer, 22-year-old Liam Payne? (*head explodes for the millionth time*) But while the news came as a surprise to, well, everyone, it could be just the love move Cheryl needs. 'I’ve never seen her this happy,’ a friend tells us. 'She says Liam is the best thing that’s ever happened to her and none of her other past relationships has even come close.’…

We meet the thirtysomething women ‘doing a Cheryl… AGE GAP 24 YEARS Artist and director Sam Taylor-Woods is 49 , her husband, the actor Aaron Johnson, only 25 The ten-year age gap between Cheryl and Liam shouldn’t be a big deal. After all, plenty of older celeb men date a lot younger and no one cares – it’s all: 'Oh, Leo’s up to mischief again!’ But when a woman does it? Well, you only need to look at the trolling Chezza’s received since the news broke... Despite this, more women than ever are looking for – and finding – love with men younger than them. Recent dating statistics show that a woman is five times more likely to show interest in a man five years her junior than one five…

Under £50 “Oh, hi there Gucci-alike! Corsages are cool again, and this pretty pink one shakes up the staple shift dress. Just hand me some metallic platforms and my catwalk tribute is complete.” Maxine Eggenberger, Senior Fashion News Writer Under £100 “From my best mate’s wedding to sipping sundowners on holiday, this dress has got me dreaming of summer. I’ll be upping the cost-per-wear by dressing it down with some crisp white kicks.” Gemma Yates, Fashion News Editor Under £100 Under £150 “Soz florals, I’m all about leaf prints this season thanks to French Connection’s cool maxi. Don’t save it for occasions – I’m going to try it with a white shirt underneath to shake up my office wardrobe.” Hannah Banks-Walker, Fashion News Writer…

1 Pair Up Get yourself a gym buddy, sharpish. ‘You’ll push each other to go harder than if you were alone,’ says personal trainer Anna Reich. ‘A bit of friendly competition is healthy, literally.’ 2 Drink Coffee  Research shows a cup of black coffee can give you that extra oomph! ‘It works is by decreasing the perception of pain,’ says The Harley Street Nutritionist Jo Travers, ‘so you can work harder and longer without wanting to give up.’ 3 Multi-task It ‘Go for multi-body exercises, such as lunging while raising weights from elbow to shoulder or try a stomach crunch while holding weights and pushing them out in front of you,’ says Anna. 4 Time’s Up!  Studies say we spend too much work-out time pausing or chatting – guilty!

@LOOKmag @Lookmagazine @lookmagazine LOOKmagazine +lookmagazine WORD OF THE WEEK: ‘Disneybounding’ Verb. Definition: the subtle art of dressing like a Disney character without wearing an outright costume. There’s now an actual term for taking style cues from Disney. Kick-started by Tumblr user Leslie Kay five years ago, the word has never had more meaning than when Alicia Vikander and Dolce & Gabbana both played homage to Disney princesses – Belle and Cinderella respectively – in the same week. So right or so wrong? We’ll let you decide. Pass us the shell bra and fins… POM-POM NAILS: NOW A THING Another day, another ridic talon trend taking over Instagram! Replacing faux fur as the ultimate add on, pom-poms are the new nail decoration sending beauty obsessives into a mani-meltdown. We know this…
