Monsoon’s Paisley Pieces The 70s is the trend that just keeps on giving – from suede and platforms to Monsoon’s current crush, paisley. The swirly print is on every key style this season, including flared trousers, frocks and blouses. As Monsoon’s campaign shows, it’s the perfect partner for denim – I’ll be wearing the blouses with my button-down midi and indigo flares. I do love a good fashion comeback. H&M’s Big Beauty Collection I’m usually first to fall in love with H&M’s designer fashion collaborations, and the brand’s all-new beauty collection is just as covetable. Landing on 10 September in time for autumn, the relaunched range includes make-up, haircare, bodycare and beauty tool essentials, all in super-chic packaging. Best of all, we’ve got a full set of the whole range,…

Birthday Treats For Cheryl’s birthday last year, Jean-Bernard sent her 310 red roses. And if that’s not enough, she also got a huge red velvet birthday cake. The Wedding The pair wed in a secret ceremony in July last year, after a whirlwind three months of dating. They reportedly kept it intimate, with just four witnesses, and a whopper of a diamond ring. Treasure Hunts Mr F-V knows how to keep the mystery alive. For her 32 nd birthday in June, Cheryl posted photos of a treasure hunt her hubby arranged as he whisked her away to a surprise location. Romantic Meals J-B ended the treasure hunt in Italy, surprising his wife with a romantic candlelit dinner for two. Holiday Fever J-B reportedly took his wife…

Sporty Brights ‘Since I’m always on the go, flat comfy shoes, like these retro sneakers, are a must-have. I’ve noticed in recent seasons that more and more show-goers are dressing down – that means no more sky-high stilettos, ladies.’ Natalie, Natalieoffduty.com White Out ‘For me, New York Fashion Week means busy, busy, busy! The outfits I tend to go for are simple and laid-back, but smart enough for drinks or a post-show party. Nothing beats luxury loungewear like this slouchy white suit from my label Style Stalker.’ Sue-Ann, Stylestalker.com Tassel Time ‘NYFW is the week to be seen, so put on your best outfit and ensure your make-up is on point… you never know who might snap a street-style pic. A graphic sweatshirt and a fun, fringed skirt creates a…

Wear with tights or socks in similar colours and some flat brogues for a more preppy look.

Results, of course, have varied – from actual no-shows to blossoming romances. But we root for all (OK, most) of them. Thursday 10 September, Channel 4, 10pm Ballers Love Entourage?

Fashion is all about looking back right now, and the 70 s and 80 s are enjoying a mega revival. It’ll come as no surprise that Rihanna has got them both totally down. For her stylist’s wedding in New York, Ri-Ri rocked a 70 s-inspired, floral Dries Van Noten wrap dress with disco heels, before emerging the next day in the ultimate homage to Whitney Houston – a puff-sleeved, bubblegum-pink Vivenne Westwood mini and matching courts. Both were accessorised by Whitney-esque curls. What’s next, Rihanna – the 60 s mod? See More Online Check out Rihanna’s incredible style story at Look.co.uk/rihanna…

1 The 70s Dress The latest instalment of M&S’s Best of British collection lands on 17 September, and this is the dress everyone is talking about. The on-point neck tie nails the 70s vibe, but the watercolour florals and midi length make for a timeless buy. 2 The Ultimate Investment Coat Warehouse is upping its game with its Premium line, and this Mongolian collar coat (on sale 17 September) was the most instagrammed piece from the preview show. Spendy, yes, but it is real suede and with only a limited number on offer, not everyone else will have it. 3The Show-Stopping Knit When a high-street collection is good enough to have its own celeb-studded show at Paris Fashion Week, you know it’s one to add to your wardrobe. This H&M…

Yep, we’re now officially obsessed with tantouring. Marissa Carter, founder of fake tan brand Cocoa Brown, coined the term after revealing she’d swapped contouring powders for self-tan. By making the switch, her defined, Kardashian-worthy angles stayed perfect for days instead of just hours. Lazy girls, this one’s for you, as you’ll only need to tantour once a week before the effect fades – just think of all that extra time you can spend in bed each morning. Watch Our Video Get killer cheekbones with our how-to video at Look.co.uk/tantouring…

There’s a major style movement afoot on the streets right now, and it’s set to transform your off-duty look. We’re talking about the power legging, which is currently replacing skinny jeans as the fashionista’s laid-back 'It’ buy of choice. Like trainers before them, it used to be that you’d only spot a pair of power leggings in your spin class, but now fitness and fashion fans alike are making them an everyday must-have. So what exactly are they? Well, there’s no basic black cotton here for a start. Power leggings are punchy, printed and bold. They’re made from soft, stretchy but firm Lycra – the firmer the better for leg-sculpting potential – and should be worn exactly as you would your skinny jeans. Slogan tees, leather bikers, chunky knits and…

There’s something about Michelle Keegan that makes you want to be her friend. Make that BFF. As well as spending time with her girlfriends, she loves a glam night out as much as an evening in eating cheese in front of the TV. A girl after our own heart. But the Mancunian does have a few things we don’t. An amazing fashion line with Lipsy, for starters – her elegant A/W range is her tenth for the brand – as well as the 'Sexiest Woman of the Year’ title. Not that she’s keen to take credit for that: 'Sometimes, I’m like, have people actually seen me?’ she quips. It’s been a busy year for the jet-set actress. In May, she married boyfriend of three years, TV presenter Mark Wright, 28,…

It’s the hashtag that fitness bloggers, trainers and celebs are all going mad over – with videos devoted to the practice all over Instagram. But what exactly is #stomachvacuuming? Although it may sound like a cosmetic procedure, it’s actually anything but. Stomach vacuuming is the fast-track fitness hack, derived from Pilates and yoga breathing principles, that helps to tone the inner abs (known to give you that hourglass shape). We spoke to Claire Finlay, founder and personal trainer at Pilates and boxing studio Transition Zone, to find out how to master it. Bring on the Michelle Keegan-esque tummy… • What Is It? ‘The concept is to draw your belly button in for a period of time,’ explains Claire. But, while it is essentially breathing in and out, it’s vital you…

Light Up The Dark Gabrielle Aplin We’ve been obsessed with Gabrielle Aplin ever since that rendition of The Power Of Love for John Lewis’s Christmas campaign. And after her best-selling debut English Rain in 2013 , she’s back with a new sound and an edgier look, with the release of her follow-up album. You won’t be able to get her bluesy rock track Heavy Heart out of your head for days. Out 18 September Doctor Who The Time Lord returns to battle intergalactic enemies once more, and he’s got his kick-ass companion, brilliantly played by Jenna Coleman, firmly by his side.

1 Apply a gradual tan, such as Cocoa Brown By Marissa Carter Gentle Bronze Gradual Tan, £ 6.99 .This gives a natural glow and acts as a base. 2 Spray a blob of fake tan, like St Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse, £ 33, onto a mitt. Mousse is best, as it’s less likely to clog your pores. 3 Using a flat brush with synthetic bristles – I likeReal Techniques Flat Contour Brush, £ 22 –apply the mousse into the hollows of cheeks and under your cheekbones. 4 Blend, blend, blend. Use a buffing brush, like Zoeva Silk Finish Brush, £ 11 , to ensure all harsh lines are blended out for a natural, contoured finish. 5 Keep an eye on the colour, as it’ll darken as the…

She isn’t the only blogger who’s struggled with the pressure of being a health guru. In 2014, The Blonde Vegan (AKA Jordan Younger) admitted she was suffering from orthorexia, saying: ‘I restricted myself from certain foods – even some thatfellunder the vegan umbrella – because they weren’t 100 per cent clean or 100 per cent raw. I was following thousands of rules in my head that were making me sick.’ The 23-year-old American, who has 120,000 Instagram followers, confessed that her job as a blogger ended up masking her illness. ‘It made it hard for me toseethat I had an eating disorder. If I wasn’t so tied to the vegan identity I’d given myself, I’d have realised it alot sooner,’ she said. After getting help, Jordan recently rebranded as The…

‘When the sun comes out, it means it’s time for me to hit my local park, because there’s nothing better than an outdoor workout. During the summer, I swap my morning gym session for a jog, or I’ll head to a lido for a swim – it’s the best wake-up call ever. I’ve also just bought a new bike, so at weekends you’ll probably find me on long rides with my husband, as we both like to keep fit. When it comes to catching up with friends, there’s no reason why we can’t be active. A group of us will sometimes do our own bootcamp, but I’m also the first one to organise a game of rounders. What can I say, I’m pretty competitive!’ MY FITNESS ESSENTIALS 1 Sports bag…

@LOOKmag @Lookmagazine @lookmagazine LOOKmagazine +lookmagazine TAYLOR SUPERSIZES HER SQUAD For this year’s VMAs, Taylor shunned her plus one in favour of a plus eight, bringing her entire gang with her.

BIEBER CHANNELS BRAD Biebs had a total comeback at the VMAs and a new hairstyle to boot.
