If you’ve used the month of October wisely, you’ll have delegated yourself ample time to chill ahead of party season which, by some sort of black, time-loop magic, is just around the corner AGAIN. Sigh. So this week, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to help ease you into the festivities (gulp). For the organised among you, what you’ll find on p28 is sure to appease – if, however, the sight of Christmas cards and gift wrap lining the supermarket aisles is making you feel queasy, you have my one-time only permission to give that feature a miss… Fret not, though, for we still have a whole host of awesome autumnness for you to enjoy. From the It knit that’ll see you through caj weekend brunches, all the way to your…

It’s only natural to want to revert to muted shades come autumn/winter. You own a camel coat, right? And a black one, too? Yep, thought as much. But just because the mornings have turned pretty damn dark all of a sudden, it doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to follow suit. In fact, there’s a whole host of influencers who are championing the technicolour cause right now. Case in point: rainbow knits. Modelled off a pack of Skittles, there are plenty of bright Breton knits on the high street for you to choose from. Tuck yours into a pleated midi for a Gucci vibe, or wear with jeans during the day for a cosy cool ensemble. Go on, earn your (rainbow) stripes.…

ASHLEY COLE Where to begin? We reckon Chez could totes write a whole album on this one. Right, hun? DEREK HOUGH Cheryl said she ‘owed Derek [her] life’ after battling malaria. We bet she only has good things to say about him. TRE HOLLOWAY Neither Tre nor Chezza ever confirmed the reason for their split, but maybe now we’ll finally know. JEAN-BERNARD After a seemingly messy divorce, we have a sneaking suspicion this could be the most scathing… LIAM PAYNE If Chez’s album is anything like Liam’s, we could be in store for some saucy stuff. Heard Bedroom Floor yet?…

Size: 18 x 11 x 8 cm FOR PRACTICALITY Try a cross-body bag with a grab-and-go top handle in a wear-with-everything metallic finish. Size: 15 x 11 x 5.5 cm…

Western? Wearable? Stop right there, sister. While we are suggesting the trend as one to be taken seriously, we are not, however, telling you to pop on a cowboy hat anytime soon. Here’s the deal... On the designer front, both Coach and Calvin Klein sent ranch-esque outfits down the AW17 runway, and since then Zara, Mango and a whole host of other high street hotspots have given the vibe a big yee-ha. There’s a fine line between super-fly and fancy dress, and it all depends on how you style it. So what’s in? Metallic cowboy heels, buttoned-up embroidered shirts, suede of the tan variety, and as much denim as you can possibly wear at once. And what’s most definitely not? We’re giving a firm hell no to chaps. Because, well,…

“Harry is worried Meghan will be ‘put off’ of royal life before it’s even started” They’re said to be gearing up to announce their engagement, but it looks as though there’s another bump in the road for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – and while Suits star Meghan is determined that the couple put on a united front, it’s said to be Harry who’s fretting. Amid Meghan’s sister speaking out again on live TV and a series of documentaries being released about the couple’s relationship, Harry is said to be worrying about Meghan. According to a source speaking exclusively to Look, Harry is terrified Meghan will be ‘put off ’ of royal life – before it’s even started.

WONDERWALL FLORALS Nah, we’re not referring to Oasis. In actual fact, we’re talking about the wondrous wallpapers you’ll likely find in your nan’s house: antique florals. Think muted hues with a magnolia backdrop and, hey presto, it’s like you’re four years old again, drawing all over said wallpaper with red crayon. OK, that was last week... SEEING SPOTS That’s right, summer’s It print is sticking around for autumn, which is great as we weren’t really willing to push our polkas to one side.

Back-combing – it’s one of the best ways to add volume that lasts but you need the right brush.

Just don’t forget to use Tangle Teezer’s The Original detangling hairbrush to brush out any back-combing before you go to…

In case you didn’t catch her on The X Factor, or notice her gushing over beau Liam Payne on Instagram last week (he was her #MCM, btw), Cheryl is well and truly back from her year off – and she’s been busy. Aside from releasing a new make-up collection with L’Oréal, working on numerous charity campaigns and joining Simon Cowell for Judges’ Houses, the best surprise from Chez is yet to come.

The mini bag is having a major moment. Every hero high street store is selling ’em and every street styler worth their salt is wearing ’em. Why? Easy. They are super-small, fun, chic and perfect, and work day or night – but are they actually practical? Can you do without that extra pair of flats? Would you (or crucially, could you) ditch your trusty tote? Casting aside our jumbo bags, Look’s bravest fashion guinea pigs took on the mini bag challenge to find out if it really can be done, and – spoiler alert – we’re total converts… River Island, £26 This wins for versatility. Wear on the shoulder, or without the strap as a clutch – it’s worth every penny. Bravo, River Island. Fits: Phone, purse, keys. New Look,…

There are several reasons to invest in statement earrings: 1) they can take any old outfit and instantly glamify it, 2) they’re cheaper than investing in a whole new look, and 3) they require zero changing room time. Hardly surprising, then, that the high street has caught on with a whole new batch to choose from. We’re talking about the high street as a collective here, but imagine how easy it’d be if one store had every single style you could dream of, for £10 and under, no less. Well, ladies, set your sights on New Look. For the new season, it has released what may well be the best earring collection we’ve ever seen, featuring every adornment you can think of, from tassels and pom-poms to acetate and diamanté.…

“The last two years have been a chaotic whirlwind” Two years ago, Claire Foy was a jobbing actress whose greatest claim to fame was a six-episode arc as Anne Boleyn in BBC’s Wolf Hall. It would take another queen to change it all. Landing the role of the young Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s The Crown, the 33-year-old Mancunian has since become the toast of Hollywood. It’s all thanks to her searing portrayal as the beloved royal, winning this year’s Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Drama, while juggling motherhood to two-year-old Sophia. And Claire is reaping the rewards. Reports are suggesting the actress has snagged the highly contested role of Lisbeth Salander in the reboot of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Before that, she’ll star alongside…

What’s the story? A luxurious train ride across Europe turns into a thrilling whodunit after a businessman is found murdered in his compartment.
