Well ladies, we’ve survived another London Fashion Week, and boy was it exhausting. As I write this quite literally four minutes before it goes to print, I’m running on Red Bull and adrenaline. My only comfort is knowing that I can resume my unsocial social life imminently. However, my tiredness isn’t in vain, for in next week’s issue we’ll be cluing you up on all the trends next season has in store, including the catwalk looks you can buy on the high street straight after reading. So synonymous with change is Fashion Week that it’s inspiring me to make a change of my own: my hair. Right now, it cascades down my back, reaching below my (likely Marks & Spencer) bra strap. But, come 21 September, I’ll be joining ghd…

When we clocked Man Repeller’s Leandra Medine in her latest, in her words, ‘top I bought on Instagram’, we just had to find out where it was from. Expecting designer, we couldn’t believe it was actually affordable – behold, The Frankie Shop. It’s a brand that has you wanting to shop your entire ’gram feed. Tagged on the coolest of cool influencers, Frankie is a minimalist’s dream with luxe, fuss-free pieces that’ll take forever spots in your wardrobe. Just take the puff sleeve trench, for example. The bricks and mortar shops may be in NYC and Paris, but that’s where the online fix comes in. Yes, the p&p make it a little more spenny than the usual standard delivery order but, believe us, it’s worth the £££.…

“He knows what he wants – and it’s Meghan” Making a royal engagement announcement must be pretty time-consuming. But while Prince Harry and girlfriend Meghan Markle won’t have to worry about perfecting the classic ‘WE’RE ENGAGED!’ Facebook status, according to an insider speaking exclusively to Look , the pair have cleared their schedule to make room for what’s set to be a hectic few months. While Meghan reportedly travelled back to Toronto for filming obligations last week, Harry is said to be joining the 36 year old this weekend for the annual Invictus Games (starting 23 September) taking place in the city. While the pair previously had a number of commitments and, for Harry, royal engagements on the horizon, according to our source, their schedule has had a major turnaround,…

After what seems like an eternity of day counting and calendar checking, Rihanna’s hotly anticipated Fenty Beauty collection is finally here and boy is it good. With a 40-strong foundation shade range, magnetic packaging and enough products to restock your entire beauty bag from scratch, it’s safe to say RiRi has outdone herself. But there’s one product that has got our entire office heading to Harvey Nics – the Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks, £18 each. With a gilded, creamy formula, these wondrous highlighters are available in a spectrum of 10 rainbow shades. We put Yacht Lyfe to the test on a whole lotta skins and, we’ve gotta say, we were seriously impressed. Use the universally flattering stick to build your blush and highlight all in one.…

BARRY M BLUSHER PALETTE, £5 . 9 9 Why have one blush to play with when you can have four for the same price, if not less? Sweep the tan shade just beneath the cheek, blend the pink and coral across the apples, and finish off with the lightest peach on top. Blush contouring = the next big thing. GUERLAIN KISS KISS FROM PARIS PALETTE, £44 Pucker up, this palette isn’t just pretty to look at. Inside is everything you need to craft a killer pout, including a smoothing lip primer, two natural nude tones and a deep pink. Use them together to contour your mouth in minutes, it’s the ultimate 4 -in- 1 . HUDA BEAUTY DESERT DUSK EYESHADOW PALETTE, £56 The social media sensation is back again with…

Think K-Mid and the following may come to mind: hair, heir, L.K. Bennett, champion of charities, nude tights, mum. While your thoughts may not necessarily fall in that order, there’s no denying the notorious DoC has ruddy great hair. So following the news that Kate is pregnant with her third child, what better time for Look Editor (and new mum) Gilly to delve into a regime fit for Her Royal Hairness, thanks to Richard Ward’s deputy technical director, Adam Russell (right)… What’s the most common hair complaint pregnant clients – like K-Mid – come to you with? Most women do find their hair grows abundantly and is extra healthy. It’s after the baby is born that people experience issues – hair can suddenly start to thin or become dull due…

XXL Sleeves Look girls, meet the balloon sleeve. You might as well get acquainted as it’s the detail that’ll elevate all your knits this season. FYI, apparently size does matter – the bigger the better with this one. DO: go for fitted trousers or a skirt on your lower half, it’s more flattering. DON’T: be put off by the volume. Like a good blow-dry, it’ll feel odd to begin with but you’ll get used to it. DO : use the extra room to hide layers. So cosy. CUT THE MUSTARD Is autumn even autumn without a bit of mustard? Answer: never. This year is no different, and we’ll be adding the Colman’s shade to our new season cover-ups. It’s all about rich hues, so team with clashing tones and golden…

“It’s going at a low-key but very steady pace” She might be busy smashing life RN, but Rihanna’s still got time to take one seriously big step with her beau, Hassan Jameel. A source close to the couple exclusively revealed to us that the pair are more loved-up than ever, and Ri’s even planning a sun-soaked trip to Barbados, to introduce the 29-year-old businessman to her family. ‘They might be keeping their relationship out of the public eye for now, but Rihanna and Hassan are going from strength to strength,’ says the star’s pal. ‘They’ve been spending a lot of time together away from prying eyes and it’s going at a low-key but very steady pace. Rihanna wasn’t looking for a relationship, but the way things have worked out, she’s…

“She respects Darren so much - it’s long term” As comebacks go, the response to Jennifer Lawrence’s new film, Mother!, is pretty much the way to do it. Critics have hailed the film as ‘divisive’ and ‘horrifying’, while 27-year-old Jen’s performance has been lauded. It’s directed by her current beau, Darren Aronofsky, 48, who she went red- carpet official with last week, potentially in an attempt to silence the rumours over her recent snaps with Nicholas Hoult. The exes reunited in Canada for X-Men filming over the summer and, as Look reported, their reunion made Jen reconsider things. ‘Jen’s stress was definitely justified as she was best friends with Nick,’ says our source. ‘But she respects Darren so much and feels this could be long-term.’ Her red-carpet display of affection…

Autumn is coming and we’re finally accepting it, with the support of The Great British (no, not Bake Off, we’re not thinking about cake RN) High Street. The knitwear offerings on our radar are so fierce they’ll have you cancelling that last-minute vacay – yes, really. Shopping for a new season wardrobe is high on the list of autumn faves, along with hot chocolate stashes and fleecy PJs, obvs, and shoelace sweaters are darting to the top. The lace can be anywhere on the knit – arms, bodice or shoulders – but the key to the look is all about the oversized, criss-cross string. Prepare for said detail to sway your sartorial choices: try wearing yours with a pleated midi skirt to offset the edgy vibes. So cool are they,…

“I always feel nervous on the red carpet” Interviewing Michelle Keegan is always a surprising experience. We forget her Mancunian drawl and wicked cackle – what can we say? We make Michelle laugh. Today, we’re sitting down with her in Kuala Lumpur to discuss her first fashion collection with Very, which features sequinned maxis, slick night out pieces and wearable everyday favourites. The 30 year old has even expanded her design skills to include PJs, fitness gear and home accessories, all styled on her own pad. Basically the MK lifestyle starts here! But with hubby Mark Wright moving to LA to present TV show Extra, a backlash after her recent birthday celebrations (she likes a drink, shocker), and with filming for Our Girl running until December – how on earth…

FULL FRINGES Josh Goldsworthy: ‘Long eye-skimming fringes as well as short micro fringes were still doing the rounds this season. While partings were sent to the side, fringes were full and sat front and centre.’ How to style it: ‘Keep it messy or wear it super-sleek – whatever works for you.’ MIRROR-LIKE SHINE Adam Reed: ‘Super-smooth, glossy hair was everywhere on the AW 17 runways. The key to this look is to ensure the hair looks healthy and glossy.’ How to style it: ‘To create glassy, smooth hair, you need to look after it with good products, regular trims and minimal heat.’ BOYISH BOWL Lee Stafford: ‘This is a hard look to pull off, but worn with confidence it is really dramatic and shows off individual style.’ How to style…

1 SELF-PRAISE  If you complete a complex task and receive no recognition, you are less likely to put in the same effort next time around. Take time to reward yourself for your own accomplishments. This can be anything from a quick break from your desk to a pick-me-up treat, or even booking a new activity after work. 2 TAKE BACK CONTROL  Get organised – make a realistic plan to follow up or a short list of goals you wish to achieve at work. Ticking things off will improve your motivation for performing these tasks and make you feel more in control. 3 BREAK IT DOWN  Large tasks can seem daunting. It’s often better to break it down into smaller and more manageable steps. For example, if you have a report…

1 Good News: You Already Own Some Of VB’s Collection (Kind Of) There are some catwalk offerings that make us rethink our outfits immediately, and the Victoria Beckham show did just that (indeed, even David sitting FROW-side couldn’t distract us from the clobber). Moving away from bodycon frocks, the minimalist look included sorbet shades and updated tailored classics, like shirt dresses and wide-leg trews. Skirts went sheer and heels got glam with lashings of glitter. The best part? ALL the trends are on the high street to shop now. Cheers for that, Vic. 2 The 24/7 FROW Uniform White top Blue jeans Court heels Put them together and what do you get? Your new anytime, anywhere, any occasion outfit, that’s what! OK, it may not be the most adventurous in…

£10k ON EXPENSES ‘She has several assistants on the go and, of course, they’re with her 24/7 in the top hotels and eating at the best restaurants,’ says our source. £30k ON DRIVERS AND SECURITY ‘Rihanna has the best of the best when it comes to her bodyguards. She has two security guards at all times so she’s protected 24 hours a day,’ says the insider. £20k ON STYLISTS AND MAKE-UP ARTISTS We’re told the star brings her make-up artist with her everywhere: ‘She feels like it’s part of the deal, she’s A-list and needs to look it.’ We would, too, tbh. £10k ON FOOD ‘Rihanna eats out a lot, but she still likes to have a personal chef on staff,’ our source reveals. Oh to be famous.…

‘Can I take a photo?’ Do you mind if you’re in it?’ I nearly fall off my seat as Heidi Klum (y’know, supermodel, entrepreneur, TV star and all round goddess) starts our interview with a snap. And breathe. Having made it big in the ’90s as one of the faces of the time, the 44 year old’s now a judge on addictive US fashion designer talent show Project Runway and America’s Got Talent, as well as having dabbled in her own designs – but now it’s time for something different… Bang in the middle of Fashion Week, I, Look’s Giselle Wainwright, am at the most hipster NYC hotel to meet the star as she launches her huge new collaboration, Esmara by Heidi Klum: Heidi and the City, with none other…

“‘The first time one of my longstanding clients, who still comes to me now, came in, she said: “Lisa, darling! I’d like you to match my hair with Frederick.” I grinned, trying to fight back a chuckle, and replied: “And who’s Frederick?” Then she whipped the top off her country wicker basket and there he was! A pert and plump speckled hen! And so I went ahead and wove in shades of chestnut, fawns, biscuits and blondes all to match Frederick. We’ve laughed about it so much since!’” Lisa Shepherd, PRO:VOKE professional hair care ambassador ‘I have been asked on so many occasions to match someone’s collar to their cuff! I think I was first asked when I was about 18 and at this point I literally had no idea…
