Hot New Hook-Up Floral motifs might be spring/summer’s default setting but thanks to Wallis’s uh-mazing new collab with high priestess of print Hermione de Paula, they’re anything but failsafe. Of course, I could just buy the kimono or the trousers – but where would be the fun in that?! That’s another co-ord added to the collection, then… Maxine Goodie Two Shoes I’m not usually a huge fan of colour (as my collection of black shift dresses will attest) but when I saw these silky sensations, my heart skipped a beat. The ultimate shoe go-to for occasion season and beyond – someone book me in for a coral pedi, stat! Lucie Simply Chic! Now that summer’s finally got its butt into gear, I’m casting my coats to one side and making…

Ashley James is becoming quite the force to be reckoned with. Making her name on Made In Chelsea, the 28-year-old’s since added TV presenter, model, jewellery designer and charity ambassador to her CV. And all in a few years. Add to that the fact she’s just run the London Marathon, is launching a blog and is the new face of George’s swimwear range and we feel positively lazy. We hotfooted it over to meet her and find out how Ashley fits it all in, how she copes with her body dysmorphia and her secrets to being truly body confident. Not so lazy now, are we? Congrats on becoming the face of George’s swimwear collection, Ashley! Tell us, what made you want to work with them? I’ve been a fan of…

‘My name’s Hannah and I’m obsessed with Dior. It’s not just the name; the shape of these shades suits every face, while the tortoiseshell detail is timeless. I might need to save up for longer than I’d like to admit, but the compliments will be worth it’ Hannah Banks-Walker, Fashion News Writer ‘Call me crazy, but I like to wear my sunglasses in the pool, on the beach, to a summer soirŽeÉ I don’t want to worry about breaking them. Basically, I often throw them into my handbag and I’m not about using a case.’ Maxine Eggenberger, Senior Fashion News Writer…

While Gigi’s planning her future with Zayn, her past boyfriends have been hanging out. At the Nylon Coachella party, Gigi’s first love and ex-boyfriend Cody Simpson was seen sharing tense looks with the guy she hooked up with following their May 2015 split, Joe Jonas. Joe, who dated the Victoria’s Secret model for five months until November last year, apparently made the first move. ‘Joe walked right up to a shocked Cody and shook his hand,’ said a partygoer. ‘The two shared a beer and chatted.’ Wonder if your ears were burning, Gigi?…

“I was fully focused on my career rather than making new friends” When Taylor Swift took her famous friends along with her on tour last year, it was confirmation that 'the squad’ has become the newest must-have accessory. But while it seems every celebrity has a crew, for us 'normals’ it’s not always so simple. In fact, experts suggest that we could be the loneliest generation yet. A recent study from the Mental Health Foundation discovered that those aged 16 to 30 are four times lonelier than the over-55s. That’s despite having more social connections that ever before – on average we’re WhatsApping 40 times a day and have 338 friends each on Facebook, yet when it comes to making friends in real life we’re not so good. 'I’m seeing…

The Stigma Around Women Boxing Has Gone In every Kobox class there are 60 to 70 per cent women. Boxing is an incredibly empowering way to work out and having many high-profile women – such as Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Rosie Fortescue and Cheryl – actively promoting the sport has definitely made it more accessible to women. Starting To See A Difference… If you go three times a week for four weeks you should start to see results. Consistency beats intensity every time. After a month of training your body will start to retain firmness more than it did, your metabolism has kicked into a higher gear and you should notice a loss in body fat so that muscles feel firmer.

“Kate Moss totally nails it every time” Look’s Gemma Says: One second I’m in grey old London, the next I’m speeding down the avenues of sunny Palm Springs in a souped-up, er, 'red car’ – en route to join my Coachella fam for the next three days. Only this 'fam’ includes DJ Zara Martin, Millie Mackintosh (pg 68); and Look’s own roving reporter Ms Laura Whitmore. This was going to be FUN! The four of us whiled away the weekend spotting celebs – Kendall! Kylie! Bella Hadid! Karlie Kloss [who said she loved my dress!] – and sipping margaritas while some of the biggest names in music milled around us. Put simply, it was: The. Best. And that’s before we chatted clothes – this lot take festival dressing to the…

The fashion-sphere is full of opinion dividers – pool sliders, harem pants and slip dresses to name a few – but none are more polarising than white denim. The ultimate jean fix of the, um, directional 80s, it’s since become something of sartorial stigma and the brunt of jokes (what’s the deal with Labour Day anyway?!). Now that’s all about to change. Fashion’s biggest influencers are on a personal mission to elevate white denim to chic new heights and they’re setting their sights way beyond just jeans. Skirts, jackets, jumpsuits, you name it – everything in your wardrobe is about to be whitewashed. While icy skinny trews are notoriously unforgiving, you’ll find wide leg culottes, button-down midis and oversized jackets super-flattering. Styling-wise, we recommend adopting the 'less is more’ mantra…

HELLO my name is CHERYL TWEEDY 1 The fresh-faced Geordie was born a ‘Tweedy’ and remained so during her Girls Aloud days. HELLO my name is CHERYL COLE 2 After marrying in 2010, the singer became Mrs Cole and even had the name inked on her neck. A bad choice in hindsight, right? HELLO my name is CHERYL 3 Following her divorce, Chez reverted back to ‘Cheryl’ when she released her solo single, aptly titled Call My Name. CHERYL FERNANDEZ-VERSINI 4 When she got hitched to JB after their whirlwind romance, Cheryl promptly added the double-barrelled ‘Fernandez-Versini’ to her surname, causing great drama whenever it was pronounced incorrectly on last year’s X Factor. HELLO my name is CHERYL 5 It’s back. Just Cheryl. We think it might be wise to…

“It wouldn’t be fair to think of pulling somebody in” RiRi & Leo: It’s On! (Again) Rihanna & Leonardo DiCaprio Cor blimey, these two have been linked more times than we’ve had hot dinners. Yep, it’s true: Rihanna and Leo are back on… again. The pair were spotted at Coachella and despite 41 -year-old Leo trying to go incognito (that hat and sunglasses aren’t fooling anyone, mate!), they ended up being snapped by eagle-eyed photographers at the Neon Carnival after-party. Let’s rewind. It was first reported that Rihanna, 28 , and Leo were ‘hooking up’ at the end of 2014 , some 16 months ago. Since then they’ve been spied snogging at the Playboy Mansion, partying it up for Rihanna’s birthday and generally touring some of the hottest celebrity clubs…

I’ve always had a great set of friends in London but over the last couple of years things have definitely got harder. While one half of my friends have moved away, the other half are shacking up with partners, meaning nights out and catch-ups are becoming fewer and far between. So when I heard about Bumble’s BFF function, I was willing to give it a go in a bid to cure those lonely weekend blues. It felt weird to be swiping for mates instead of dates, though, and I found many of the same nerves were there. Would I get any matches? What if we didn’t get on? Who’d ask who for a drink first? I shouldn’t have been worried. After half a day I got chatting to Jane, who…

Join L.K. Bennett’s Platform Party! Be still our beating hearts. We’ve found a shoe that’s not merely Instafamous and celeb-approved – it’s what we’ve been missing all our lives. When we first set eyes on these heels, which come in an irresistible two-tone colour clash or a graphic print, we assumed they’d have a four-figure price tag – but we were wrong. They are in fact the handiwork of L.K.Bennett. And while they’re still quite spendy, they will prove to be the love affair of a lifetime. Don’t laugh – you never can take shoes too seriously. INSTA ‘IT’ BAG • After clocking countless sightings on our feeds, we tracked this cross-body down at US fashion import J.Crew. • It might look super-luxe, but this leather lovely is by no…

1 The Converse Comeback Soz Stan Smith, classic Converse is officially the shoe of festival season. Seriously, we’ve lost count of how many hi-tops we spotted. Say hello to your summer SOLEmate… 2 Off-The-Shoulder Championed by Millie Mackintosh in SeeByChloé and, well, everybody else. Can currently be seen in every high street shop worth its salt, so you don’t need to look hard to find your own! 3 Multitasking Bandanas As a necklace, in your hair, on a bag – when an accessory is this versatile (not to mention bargainous) it’s no wonder trendsetters like Chiara Ferragni packed one in their (Louis Vuitton) rucksack. 4 Super-Sequins As seen on Coachella’s finest faces (including Suki) sequins were the A-list’s beauty essential this year. Framing eyes and decorating cheekbones, it’s the prettiest…

It’s easy to lose a good hour (or three) when you find an amazing hair colourist on Instagram. Endless transformation pics give us all hope that maybe it’s possible to take our waves from mediocre to mermaid-esque. So when Look Beauty Writer Vic stumbled across Samantha Cusick’s feed, she knew she’d struck gold. Based at west London’s Taylor Taylor salon, Sam is the hair goddess behind the tresses of superstar bloggers Zoella and Tanya Burr – so naturally, we had to steal her secrets… How To Pull Off Platinum 'Anyone can suit blonde,’ says Sam. 'I tailor the colour to suit every client by putting a toner on it, whether it’s milky, creamy, silver, grey… Going blonde is a rite of passage – it’s just about picking the right tone.’…

Woah, it looks like things are getting serious for Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid. Following on from THAT super-sexy Vogue shoot (what? We’re not jealous), insiders have revealed that the 21-year-old model is potentially going to put her career on hold so she can spend more time with Zayn. According to sources, Gigi’s planning to take four months off towards the end of the year to move to the UK to be with the 23-year-old singer. They’ve even been looking at London properties together where they can set up home. 'Zayn’s on the cusp of announcing a UK tour and when it happens he wants to have Gigi by his side,’ says our source. 'Currently, she wants to come and live in the UK to support him – they’re both…

“I still love that outrageous, trashy, Pamela Anderson style” Boom, Clap! Charli XCX is in the building. Posing for her second Boohoo clothing campaign, we’re squeezing in our chat between shots and everything’s being timed to the second. Luckily, Charli’s full of energy and can fit a lot in. In fact, fitting it all in is sort of a mantra for the singer. Over the last year, 23-year-old Charli has bought her first house in LA, toured the globe, become a beauty ambassador for Make Up For Ever, launched her own record label and provides the voice of Willow in the Angry Birds movie, set to hit cinemas later this year. Add to that the forthcoming follow-up to her hit album Sucker, due out soon, some might say she’s too…

It’s also the perfect excuse to show off your hot new jumpsuit or recycle your past party-season gear. #AVOONTOAST Nothing beats a hangover like a girly gossip over brunch.

#MUSIC Introducing: Roman Kemp HE MAY BE THE SON OF SPANDAU BALLET SINGER MARTIN (ASK YOUR MUM!) BUT ROMAN KEMP IS MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF WITH HIS FIRST PRIMETIME RADIO SHOW ON CAPITAL FM. NOT BAD FOR A 23 -YEAR-OLD… You’ve got yourself a primetime show – that must be a lot of pressure… It’s amazing. I’m just so grateful to Capital for putting faith in me.
