Gilly Ferguson, Editor ‘Every LFW, I vow I won’t buy myself something new. And then I do. This season I talked myself into RIXO – a label so hot even your nan’s heard of it – then satisfied my more sensible urges with a timeless pair of L.K. Bennett boots. The dress is all ‘party’ at the front, bringing all the pizazz after-show shindigs truly deserve. Oh, and the bag? That’s a vintage 2010 LFW buy. Yes, it’s an ongoing problem…’ Maxine Eggenberger, Fashion News & Commercial Content Editor ‘Ruffles have become as much of a sartorial staple as Breton stripes. Often too fussy for my liking, this khaki number offers much-needed respite. Made from gorgeous cotton, the rigid fabric gives the super-sized frills just the right amount of structure,…

Maybe there’s something in the Evian water, but French girls have got the art of curating off-duty outfits down – Breton stripes, Brigitte Bardot-esque skinny jeans and ballet pumps are practically national uniform. We, however, lack that certain je ne sais quoi to pull off the look. Now, though, we can cheat our way to that French girl chic. From 'bonjour’ to declarations of love, French sayings have been emblazoned on everything from jackets, sweaters and tops to, thanks to Kurt Geiger, shoes. Shoes ! Zut alors!…

EASILY SUEDE • Whether it’s winter or high summer, suede is always a winner in our wardrobes – and we’re not just talking about the black and tan kind. A berry red colourway, like this miniskirt, will go with anything and everything (even animal print) and is also an easy way to nail the colour-blocking trend. GET SHIRTY • So you’re a fan of a classic cotton shirt but getting bored of white shades? Enter this little blue embroidered number. Try teaming it with statement spring shades like hot pink. ‘I love how this outfit mixes two very different shades of pink together... it shouldn’t work, but it totally does!’Imogen, size 18 THE CLASH • It’s easy to amp up your staple skinny jeans thanks to OTT outerwear like this…

Rimmel Match Perfection Illuminating Concealer, £5.99 This absolute beauty steal literally covers every blemish without being remotely cakey, and the ivory shade matches PERFECTLY to my skin. My eye bags thank me on a daily basis! @mformegandraws Rodial Airbrush Concealer, £32 After a mass breakout of adult acne two weeks before my wedding day, concealer fast became the most important item in my make-up bag. I stumbled across this one and I haven’t looked back since. Its coverage is unrivalled and lasts all. day. long. @maxfasheditor bareMinerals bareSkin Concealer, £22 I love this because it has a really high coverage without being thick or heavy. It’s super-easy to blend and can be used under the eyes or on blemishes – I use it on my stubborn hormonal acne and it…

Becki’s Mantra: ‘Do what you love, love what you do’ Eat Up! ‘Enjoy the food you eat and don’t restrict yourself. Cutting out certain food groups not only has a huge effect on your body, it does your mind too.’ Kitted Out ‘Puma is my favourite brand. I love activewear that meets everyday wear. It’s all about blacks, greys and colour blocks I’m obsessed with trainers too.’ Sweet Tooth ‘I swap my sweet treats for healthy protein smoothie bowls.

1 Start With A Clear Mind Walking to work, feel yourself breathing and look around. Notice colours and patterns – see how much detail you can take in. When you feel calm, take time to plan your day and prioritise tasks. Having a clear mind will ensure you get the best out of yourself. 2 Stop Multitasking Do one thing at a time; multitasking has been proven to be inefficient. Whenever possible, give each task your total attention and see it through to its end. 3 Embrace Stress If stress is there, allow it to be. When you fight it, that very resistance creates worry. Take 10 seconds then focus on the task as best as you can, without fretting about the outcome. 4 Deal With Conflict (The Right Way)…

#1 STAR BUY OF THE WEEK Unless you’ve been hiding in a box somewhere, you’ll have heard of Manu Atelier. These It bags have been around since this time last year, but now they’re back in a plethora of pastels and we want them all . OK, at £330 they’re slightly more spenny, but considering the brand has almost 50k Insta followers and boasts Gigi Hadid as a fan, we reckon they’re worth it, don’t you?

1 JOIN VICTORIA’S BOYS’ CLUB ‘Emancipation with optimism’ is the name of Victoria Beckham’s AW17 game and, man, is it the wardrobe respite we needed. A self-proclaimed move away from body-con and all of its restricting connotations, the collection saw models sport billowing overcoats, heritage tweeds, buckled brogues and boxy top-handle bags juxtaposed with chiffon skirts as light as air and with a hot pink boot thrown in for good measure. We’re not sure if damage control for brand Beckham was a post-show goal, but the rave reviews it received (and the fact David and the kids were sat FROW-side) have gone a long way to drown out the negative noise of late. 2 SJP’S CARRIE MOMENT Extra!

Granted, if you’re going to get snapped by a street style photographer, it’s likely going to be at Fashion Week. For upwards of five days, the snap-happy pros descend upon the same city but still, even with the heightened odds, there’s so much sartorial competition out there, it’s hard to stand out from the suitably well-dressed crowd. Ahead of the shows, then, we took it upon ourselves to uncover what makes the most sought-after street style look – and it all boils down to these six buys. 1. Beret. AKA shortcut to sophistication. 2. Kenzo jumper – obvious reasons. 3. Seam-front jeans. Because if anything’ll be mistaken for designer, it’s these. Plus, they’re super-slimming and leg-lengthening. 4. Ring bag. Blue, to be precise, because no photographer can ignore that. 5.…

“She feels more liberated than she has in years” When Look heard that Rihanna had sworn off men to focus on her career, we thought we couldn’t love her more. Then we saw her sipping from a bejewelled hip flask at the Grammys and blowing kisses to Beyoncé. The 29-year-old seemed totally happy and carefree, and she looked incredible. We’re pretty sure it’s no coincidence that in the last couple of weeks she’s decided to ditch the drama for a clean break, focusing on her career and putting a certain Hollywood feud behind her. As Look reported last week, Rihanna’s been tangled up in a bitter love triangle between on-off beau Drake, 30, and former BFF Jennifer Lopez, 47, since Christmas. With Rihanna and Drake finally smoothing things over in…

Meghan Markle is usually quite outspoken online, but since her romance with Prince Harry was revealed in November, she’s stayed quiet. As Look revealed last week, she’s received abuse from unhappy Hazza fans, while there were concerns her acting work was suffering following low ratings for Suits. But this week, Meghan, 35, took a stand, posting: '#goodvibesonly’ after being comforted by Harry, 32. 'He really spoiled her on Valentine’s Day,’ says a pal. 'He’s reassured her.’ Meghan’s post came after Harry’s ex Cressida Bonas, 27, claimed her romance with the Royal overshadowed her work. 'I think everyone’s put me in a box because I was with you know who. It’s frustrating because I work really hard,’ she said. Ooh-er!…

SPRING GLOW ‘Warm up your skin and add an all-over glow without looking like you’re wearing any make-up at all!’ MAKE IT WORK (IRL*) 1 Start by warming up your skin tone with a matte bronzer. Apply over the nose, top of the cheekbones and across your forehead for a Scandi-esque tan. 2 Use a brown eyeliner close to the lash line and smudge out to create the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes. 3 Finish by coating your lips in a deliciously luxe lip balm, and that’s it… You’re good to go!

WE’RE NERVOUS. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT? ‘The crowds, fellow runners and the sense of achievement all add up to a day you won’t forget. To make that race day enjoyable, you need to get your body acclimatised to increased mileage. Being able to sustain a comfortable pace over a long period of time is critical to making the most of your marathon experience.’ SO WHAT’S THE PLAN? ‘As a beginner you may run three times a week and as a regular you may do five. The key is quality sessions, not quantity. Introduce interval, hill sessions and fartlek [intervals of fast- and slow-paced running] into your training plan. Don’t neglect core stability either. A good core gives you a great base for an efficient running technique.’ HOW LONG SHOULD WE…

'I drink a lot of water; I always find that when I haven’t been drinking enough, I get more bloated. Probiotics are great for keeping things moving as well – I throw them in a smoothie or take them in pill form.’ Rosie Huntington-Whiteley 'Boxing works my arms and core, ballet elongates my muscles and jumping rope is a great way to warm up before any workout.’ Candice Swanepoel…

'I’m in the midst of redecorating my home and, after discovering this gorgeous shade, it’s set my blue theme in motion. Paired with white satin furniture and black accents, it’s the perfect paint for minimalists looking to broaden their colour horizons.’ MAXINE EGGENBERGER, FASHION NEWS EDITOR Open your wardrobe and, aside from black and white, the colour you’re most likely to find inside is blue. Be it navy, baby or cobalt, we’re drawn to the shade thanks to its built-in calming superpowers. So, if wearing it makes you chill, just imagine how relaxed you’d be surrounded by it in your home. From statement lights to directional furniture, the interiors world’s feeling seriously blue right now.…

One night, two major events on the A-list social calendar. This year, both the Grammy and BAFTA awards ceremonies fell on the same fateful Sunday night – not that we’re complaining, though. For us, it meant twice the gossip and, naturally, double dreamy dress dosage (try saying that at speed). While you crowned Adele your outfit Number One (see p3), here’s the best of the rest – complete with your own super-honest verdicts. Consider yourselves fully fledged fashion pros… Naomie Harris Team: BAFTAs What She Wore: Gucci blush and peach tulle gown.

Your Verdict:…

With Victoria and David Beckham and Beyoncé and Jay Z for parents, you’d expect these kids to be stylish, wouldn’t you? But we never thought we, AKA grown women, would find ourselves wanting to re-create their looks. Just like VB, Harper always looks flawless and her latest get-up, featuring a £1,800 'Yona’ Goyard bag and £240 Gucci Chelsea boots, was no exception. As for Blue Ivy, she stole the Grammys style show in a Prince-inspired pink Gucci suit with a frilly white shirt and silver brooch. Just to prove how good these looks are, Digital Writer Anna Duff spent the day dressed as her new idols... 'I was apprehensive about Blue Ivy’s look since it was so bold, but everyone loved it,’ Anna says. 'I felt seriously chic wearing Harper’s…

For the last two weeks, my morning routine has gone like this: I wake up and, before my eyes can adjust to the shock of being open for the first time in six (read: 11) hours, my phone is in hand as I begin frantically scrolling through H&M’s new arrivals. This may sound like standard protocol for someone who works in fashion. It’s not. Since I was a teen, getting up has always been a gargantuan chore; I’m a serial snoozer and, I tell you, it takes more than a Bardot top to disturb my slumber. And yes, I did just quote Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders. Why then, I hear you cry, have I succumbed to this incessant behaviour? Because of a £4.99 belt, that’s why. Now, before you dismiss…

TURMERIC Derived from a deep orange-coloured root, beauty’s buzzword of 2017 is an anti-inflammatory wonder. It helps soothe flare-ups and fights nasty acne-causing bacteria. TRY: Kiehl’s Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, £ 28 SEAHORSE PLANKTON This 100 per cent natural and vegan friendly microalgae is known to stimulate skin cells and encourage renewal. It’s also deeply moisturising. TRY: Seahorse Plankton Everlasting Radiance Cleansing Gel, £ 14.99 SNAIL MUCUS Snail slime (or mucin, to be correct) is wondrous because it helps to create collagen and elastin. Skin becomes more resilient and less prone to wrinkling. TRY: Dr Organic Snail Gel Cream, £ 20.99 SAKE During the yeast fermentation process of sake (rice wine), a super-hydrating potent extract called Pitera is released. It gives skin a youthful, dewy glow by…

Emma Stone is really having the best awards season. She’s wearing Chanel, she’s ticked off Best Actress gongs at both the BAFTAs and Golden Globes and Meryl Streep has heaped praise on her. Not only that, we hear there could be a big change in the 28-year-old’s personal life, as she’s considering reconciling with ex-love Andrew Garfield. When the pair called off their four-year romance in 2015, we were crushed. Both had been so open about their love for one another, we had this down as an Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling go-the-distance relationship. As Look previously reported, they remained close friends following the split, while Emma focused on her career and relocated from the couple’s former NYC home to LA. Since then, she’s had roles in Birdman and, of…

“Sharing the air with Prince Harry is quite the thrill” Hang out with Angela Scanlon for longer than five minutes and you’ll come away with three things: beauty tips for life, stories to make you belly laugh and a feeling you’ve known her for way longer. Standing next to us in a Stella McCartney leopard print coat (which she says she nabbed on sale), she’s explaining what makes the perfect pair of jeans (more on that later) and demonstrating her flawless hair-curling technique. The Irish-born journalist, fashion guru, and TV presenter, 33, has had an impressive career. Angela’s first big TV gig was online for The Voice UK in 2015 and last year she co-hosted BBC Two’s Robot Wars. Now, not only is she holding the fort over on The…

Red Hot As much as we want to be sauntering around in sandals RN we’re still, for the most part, restricted to our ankle boots. Our fave bloggers don’t seem to mind, though, and have been stepping out in red styles en masse. Just add cropped denim, a cable knit and a baker boy hat for major style cred. Total White Out We couldn’t curate a shoe special without a nod to the loafer. The trend that just won’t quit (not that we’re complaining) has just been reimagined in fresh white and it’s proving a hit with those in the sartorial know. 241 Totes If you thought BOGOF Jaffa Cakes were tempting, these gorgeous holdalls complete with freebie clutches are going to be impossible to resist… Newbie Nikes For the…

All BASES COVERED “Perfect for every day” Sheer SKIN FINISHES These are lightweight and let your own skin shine through for a more natural look. “Great for that big night out” Medium BUILDABLE BASES With a semi-matte finish, these are excellent for areas that require a bit more coverage. “Best for spots and uneven skin tone” Full FACE MAKE-UP To stop shine and hide blemishes, these new formulas contain more pigment than ever, so they deliver full coverage, without the cakey feel. “If you’re going to invest in one area, make it foundation.

1 Pippa Middleton K-Mid’s little sis was the seventh overall female to finish the 2015 Safaricorn Marathon in Kenya and last year was the 13 th fastest female to complete China’s Great Wall Marathon. Bravo, Pippa! 2 AJ Odudu The fitness blogger is running for the first time but is determined to do it justice. ‘My three main priorities are: to not hurt myself, not ruin a pair of undies and to trip anyone dressed as poultry!’ 3 Ashley James Completing the race in four hours 10 mins last year, Ashley says she’s taking training ‘a bit more seriously’ for 2017 . ‘I’ve set myself a running goal each week and will increase it week by week. I’m also doing other classes to mix it up and keep my fitness…

I Ditch Weights ‘It’s almost a work of art to get a toned body. Yoga and Pilates are very good for this. There’s no point doing weights because you’ll get too strong and bulk up.’ I Eat Clean ‘For me, at 38 , to get to a model body would be difficult and really quite traumatic! But I try to eat clean and choose fresh foods.’ I Follow A Diet ‘Follow the Sirtfood Diet, 100 per cent. It’s really good and allows you have a glass of wine and a bit of chocolate.’ I Drink A Lot ‘Flush through a lot. I try to drink about two-and-a-half-litres of water a day.’ I Sleep More ‘Sleep is a massive factor. I get about seven hours a night. Try Epsom salts in…

Beyoncé vs Solange With both Knowles sisters up for International Female Solo Artist this year, let the diva battle commence! It’ll be a tough one – Bey’s the queen but how we love Solange… Rihanna vs Drake Drizzy and Ri might be back on speaking terms after the whole J-Lo drama, but with both stars nominated for male and female International Solo Artist, we’re pretty sure things are about to get very competitive… Perrie vs Zayn Yikes! Not only could Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards and ex-fiancé Zayn Malik be in for an awkward RCRI (red carpet run-in), they’ll both be fighting for the title of Best British Single. Sorry Zayn, we’re kind of rooting for Little Mix. The Oscars Red Carpet Coverage Got plans for Sunday 26 th? Cancel them…
