There are a few things we, on this fair isle, consider fail-safe conversational bankers. One is the price of confectionary (because Freddos really did cost 10p not all that long ago). Another is tea. However, no small-talk topic can rile us up quite like the weather. After what seems like an age of plodding through the winter months with nothing but Netflix and microwave meals to get us through, we finally get a hint of nice, respectable, not terrible weather and what do we do? Start complaining about it, naturally. And boy, how we love to do that. I love to do that. Every day, without fail, I’ve moaned about 1) how muggy it is, 2) how my hair looks because of said mugginess, 3) why it’s archaic that public…

‘I’m going to be late for Pippa Middleton’s wedding!’ I don’t usually spend my Saturday mornings getting ready for society dos, but when the opportunity presented itself to be in attendance of one of the most talked-about nuptials of the year, I jumped at the chance. Then, of course, traffic happened. However, I made it to the quaint village of Englefield just in time to see the hem of Pippa’s dress cascade into the church – we had to stand 250 m away, after all. Distance aside, it was a very special day to be a part of. Villagers spoke of how lovely the couple are, reporters practised their cues to camera, and the royalists? Well, they were just happy to be there. After standing in the rain, then sun,…

PREP YOUR SKIN As masks sit right on top of your skin, it’s not rocket science that it needs to be thoroughly clean before you apply them or you’ll just be pushing any dirt back in. By cleansing and exfoliating first, your skin is in prime condition to absorb the nutrients you’re about to give it. Double bonus! SAVE THE PACKET If you’re using a sheet mask, you probably throw away the packaging without thinking. But what’s left inside is pure skincare goodness. Keep it and press what’s left into your skin post-mask to fortify your results. APPLYING WITH A BRUSH It might seem like an unnecessary tool, but in the long run it’s worth it. Not only does a brush make masks easier to apply, it helps stop the…

“Trying to portray a perfect life is unhealthy” TV queen, mum of three, #fitnessgoals and our go-to for pixie haircut inspiration – it’s no surprise that Emma Willis has always been a firm Look favourite. In the last couple of years, the presenter has barely been off our TV screens, juggling her schedule between Big Brother, The Voice UK and this year’s BRIT Awards (Emma’s career highlight to date). It’s fair to say she’s one of TV’s brightest stars. When Look settles down for a chat with the 41-year-old, it’s ahead of her dramatic dash to hospital that saw the star undergo emergency surgery for an infected appendix (we’re told she’s now recovering well) and she’s in good spirits, as she always is. Emma’s come a long way in the…

Wonder Woman hits cinemas on Thursday June 1 – hurrah! To celebrate, we chatted to personal trainer Amy Golby to find out exactly how to get a superhero bod – just like Gal Gadot. 'She has gone through quite a transformation,’ says Amy. 'To get that shape her training plan would have consisted of five sessions a week, using a mix of HIIT, martial arts and pilates to build power, and increase her endurance -– helping to sculpt a long, lean and trim figure. 'To achieve a wonder woman body, diet is also key. Sticking to five small meals a day will keep you fuelled and full – while also maintaining your metabolism. Make sure each meal has equal amounts of lean protein and wholegrain carbs, including plenty of fruit…

'I’ve always loved pink, but now it’s been crowned 2017’s It colour, I have the perfect excuse to decorate my new flat in it. Even the smallest accent brightens any room.’SARAH BARLOW, FASHION STYLIST Think of pink and you think sickly-sweet girliness, right? Think again. Millennial pink is the dusty, calamine shade that’s taken over to give the hue a whole new meaning – to subvert traditional feminine expectations and to celebrate real women. Show your pink pride at home with dainty dishes and cute candles, or make a statement with Amara’s sheepskin rug and a standout sofa like DFS’s. Basically, it’s a cooler Scandi-style update of the shade that rejects everything you (and everyone else) associates with the colour and women. And who wouldn’t want that in their home?…

Recap… Frank and Claire Underwood started the season estranged, but a succession of dirty tricks between the treacherous husband and wife ensured Claire became part of his campaign. A brush with death and a few hallucinations later and the Underwoods have got themselves into hot water. Frank ended the series making us shudder in our boots, telling the American public: ‘We don’t submit to terror; we make the terror.’ What’s to come… The new season release date was announced on Trump’s inauguration day and we don’t want to say it (oh, go on then) but the similarities are creepy. Even Robin Wright, who plays Claire (the modern day Lady Macbeth in a power suit) reckons they’re struggling for storylines now that reality is stranger than fiction. This season, we see…

“She’s been trying to move on for eight years” It seems Rihanna just can’t escape continuous guy drama. Despite officially splitting from Chris Brown eight years ago, she’s reportedly being urged by Chris’s recent ex, model Karrueche Tran, to testify against their mutual former boyfriend in an upcoming court battle. It must be frustrating for Ri. After getting together with Chris in 2007, the pair had a tumultuous relationship. While it ended with Chris assaulting Rihanna and being sentenced to 180 hours of community service, five years’ probation and a restraining order, the years of torment from her ex continue. According to Look’s exclusive source, Chris’s former girlfriend of four years Karrueche is said to be reaching out to Rihanna, 29. But Ri’s resisting. 'She’s told her team she has…

What makes a perfectly reasonable person lose all sense of reality? Other than an intense Taken-esque situation (which naturally involves a husky-voiced Liam Neeson), it can only be attributed to one other thing: fashion. From sample sales to Tuesdays in Zara (the day the high street heavyweight has its largest new-in delivery, FYI) upstanding women find themselves turning into feral beasts, fighting off the rest to clinch the must-have buy, or in this case, buys. Behold the six items that have sellout written all over them. Do you feel that? That’s your animal instincts kicking in. New Look’s Sisterhood Knit Like Bella Freud, only £ 270.01 cheaper. We rest our case. Topshop’s Wild-Side Heels Who needs sensible when you can look hella hot in these zebra print shoes? Carrie would…

There’s nothing that makes us feel more powerful, more in control, than a new outfit. Be it for a wedding where your ex – yes, that ex – is best man, or an interview for a job you really, truly want, a fresh new look that fills you with oodles of confidence is a must. And what better excuse to build upon your power-dressing prowess than the General Election on 8 June? From the hue you that’ll harness your self-esteem to the one buy guaranteed to give you a boost, here’s what you need to wear to break hearts/clinch the deal/get s**t done. Oh, and you’ll look hella hot at the polling station… WELLRED You could argue the hue you feel most comfortable in is the true colour of confidence.…

As far as style icons go, there’s only one you need concern yourself with this summer. Wonder Woman hits screens on Thursday June 1, and although her unitard might be somewhat NSFW, we’re taking outfit cues from Gal Gadot’s other superhero costumes – and we’re not alone. The catwalks were awash with metallic hues of gold, bronze and silver, with Chanel and Balmain spearheading the trend with embellished, armour-inspired designs. Yep, Wonder Woman has officially become fash, and the high street was swift to follow suit. From metallic pleated midis to embroidered cover-ups, molten must-haves are dominating the rails. All that’s left for you to do is be fierce, be fearless and perfect that badass WW power stance. Boom. IN CINEMAS THURSDAY JUNE 1 Book your tickets now at…

Look’s Beauty Editor Lydia Thompsonsays:‘Go for a formula that blends in with your base and decide if you want a shimmery or matte finish. Then do the opposite with the rest of your make-up – if you have a matte bronzer, go for a shimmery eye and vice versa. And beware of bronzers that have orange undertones.’ PALE Finding the perfect bronze for a light complexion can be tricky, so look for a product with a mixture of tones to balance out your natural undertones. Try… MEDIUM Medium and olive skintones should steer clear of bronzers with too much shimmer as they can create a muddy appearance. Try… DARK The best way to amp up your complexion is with a fake tan or bronzer. The key to a flawless glow…

Toni’s Training ‘We usually train once a day and have three gym sessions a week. Weekly, we have five on-pitch sessions and beforehand we go to the gym for pre-activation so we’re ready to play. That can involve anything from stretching to riding a bike, squats, lunges and planks.’ Get Started ‘Round up a few friends, grab a ball and start playing. The FA (FA.com) can help you find venues – or consider joining a men’s team. That’s how I started.’ 3 Ways To Get Pitch Fit The Treadmill… ‘During a 90 -minute match, you need speed and aerobic endurance. I’d recommend a treadmill session for 15 seconds on, then 15 seconds off, followed by 30 seconds on, then 30 seconds off, followed by a minute on, then a minute…

DIAMONDS AIN’T GOT NOTHING ON YOUR NEW SMILE… You’d be forgiven for thinking teeth whitening is a costly affair that requires months of saving, but you don’t need to raid your bank account to get the teeth of your dreams. Instead, you can find the perfect formula for an A-list-worthy grin on the high street. Pearl Drops’ new Instant Natural White Tooth Polish is made up of detoxifying charcoal properties, which help to lift stains and impurities on the surface of the tooth making for a brighter set of pearly whites.

TIARA Maidenhair Fern tiara by Robinson Pelham . MAKE-UP Pippa apparently enjoyed a £600 gold facial at the Grace Belgravia health club in London – where she had a three-month ‘bridal membership’ to prep for the big day. DRESS The bride wore a £14,000 bespoke gown by Brit couturier Giles Deacon. JEWELLERY Pippa adorned herself with the bespoke Robinson Pelham diamond drop earrings she wore to sis Kate’s wedding in 2011 – a gift from their parents. Apparently, this is also who made her engagement ring. VEIL Designed by Stephen Jones, estimated to have cost £2,000. That’s some spenny mesh right there… SHOES Pippa rocked £2,000 ivory satin Manolo Blahnik courts – even though you couldn’t see them under her dress!

They’ve just spent a loved-up week with each other celebrating their second wedding anniversary in South Africa, but Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have once again gone their separate ways. And despite looking more 'together’ than ever while away, Michelle now has to deal with the fact that she’s set to spend her milestone 30th birthday on 3 June without her husband, as she films the third series of Our Girl in Cape Town while Mark heads Stateside for work. 'She’s putting on a brave face,’ says our insider. 'But it’s still difficult.’ As Look reported previously, the pair are said to be finding this eight-month period tough as Mich focuses on filming. And since Mark landed a new opportunity with US TV show Extra, they’re having to factor in…

Is it her air of inexplicable cool? Or her hair that falls just so? We can’t quite put our finger on it, but there’s definitely something about Alexa Chung. The 33-year-old was born with the sartorial Midas touch; from her days as a TV darling to now, a bona fide style icon, she’s long been the girl of our fashion dreams. We’ve invested without question in the trends she deemed worthy, tried in vain to mimic her enduring taste and, most recently, we’ve heavily bought into her respective collections for AG Jeans, Superga and Marks & Spencer. Yes, our need for her seal of approval is palpable – and it’s about to get even more so. After cementing her success with other brands, the next logical step for Alexa was…

On a scale of one to 10, how much does it gripe you when a friend turns up in something you’d pointed out while shopping? We’d give it an 11. Maybe 12. Initially, that’s what swayed us when it came to I Saw It First – the name. If you’re anything like us, you’ll have thought those exact words many a time before. Beyond that, the fact the brand has only just launched in the UK means people are way less likely to have seen 'it’ first. Then there’s the clothes. Bold colours, statement shapes and luxe fabrics make up a collection inspired by the freshest catwalk trends, with floor-length sequins and encrusted denim making for some serious festival attire, alongside flouncy ruffles and ladylike pleats to amp up your…

It’s time to break out the Pimm’s and sausages. Yep, BBQ season is officially here (in fact, this week is indeed National BBQ Week) and, needless to say, we couldn’t be happier. After what feels like months of hibernation, we’re breaking out the espadrille wedges and cotton dresses in the hope that maybe, just maybe, the sun will decide to stick around for more than 18 minutes per day. And it looks like we’re not the only ones giving in to sartorial optimism – our #LWIW tag has been flooded with perfect alfresco combos. From printed frocks dressed down with white sneakers to skinny jeans rocked with striped off-the-shoulder tops, all the inspo you need to have your most stylish summer ever is right here (and on our Insta page,…

DREAM BIG ‘I’m a big believer that we have to commit to things and make them a regular habit in order for them to work – particularly for women, to dream big is really important.’ Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook DON’T COMPROMISE ‘Don’t ever compromise – believe in yourself, that you can achieve anything, and don’t depend on others to get you there. Don’t be afraid to try many fields to narrow it down to what brings you happiness and success. Failure is one of the best things in business; it only makes you stronger in your next venture – kind of like relationships, it teaches you what you want and the things you don’t need.’ Melissa Obadash, founder of Melissa Obadash Swimwear PLEASE YOURSELF ‘It’s so important to be who…
