Fearne Cotton Where: Making her way to the BBC Radio 1 studios in London. What She’s Wearing: A Metallica band tee, £ 40 pink strides from Topshop, £ 250 Havva studded sandals and a Dalmatian-print bag. Bridie Wilkins, Fashion News Assistant says: ‘I’ve long been a fan of Fearne’s street-style wares, but this look is next level! The ultimate Brit ‘It’ chick, only she could pair pastel pink trousers with a rock’n’roll tee to make it look seamless. A babe and a badass rolled into one. Fearne, I salute you.’…

Where Victoria Beckham goes we always follow, but her latest ensemble stopped us in our tracks. Stepping out in garms from her pre-AW16 collection, the star turned heads in her 80s-esque cami and skirt combo. At the same time, this snap of a guy #twinning with the seats on the New York subway was going viral, and thus a new trend was born. Basically, if it resembles a tube seat, it’s in. We recommend rocking the retro prints with minimal wardrobe staples – essentially anything that’ll stop you looking like a kids’ TV host. ASOS MOST SEARCHED CAMO PRINT It may have started out as a blend-in print, but there’s no denying camouflage is now a stand-out trend. Both Cara Delevingne and Lily Aldridge got in on the action just…

Yes, braids are still all the rage. What started as a seemingly short-lived trend has spiralled into a hair obsession. Gone are plain plaits; in their place are a bunch of braids in all shapes and sizes, adorned with shiny trinkets. More and more celebs are accessorising their braids and they’re doing it with everything from pearls to hoops to coloured string. You name it, you can braid with it. Take Shay Mitchell’s hooped upside-down braid or Khloé Kardashian’s bright pink cornrows – the more bespoke, the better. Grab some hair rings and hook them through different parts of your braids to nail the rock chick chic style. Don’t fancy DIYing it? More and more braid bars are popping up; head to The Braid Bar, Toni&Guy or Daniel Hersheson* and…

With the unpredictable weather this summer, our usual smattering of freckles seem to have taken their own vacation… away from our faces! But thanks to a handy helping of strategically placed make-up, you can fake your way to summer skin minus the sun damage. 1 Topshop Freckle Pencil, £5 The marbleised formula helps freckles to appear multi-tonal, mimicking real-life skin. 2 bbrowbar Brow Definer Pencil, £15 Double up your brow pencil as a freckle-faker. Apply different amounts of pressure to add depth or swap and change between two shades. * Look Tries The Trend ‘I love this – I feel like adding freckles across my nose makes me look younger, but I do kind of feel like they highlight my under-eye bags, too.’ Lydia Thompson, Beauty…

“ALL THIS WORK HAS REALLY THROWN CARA OFF. SHE MISSES ANNIE AND SHE’S LOST WEIGHT” Sauntering through the streets of New York last week, Cara Delevingne seemed the picture of confidence – and why not? The model-turned-actress stars in Suicide Squad, one of the biggest Hollywood releases of the year; she’s rumoured to be engaged to girlfriend of 18 months Annie Clark, AKA St Vincent, recently admitting: 'I’m completely in love’; and she turns 24 this week. But look a little closer and Cara’s skin seems to be telling a different story: her psoriasis, which she’s admitted suffering from when she’s anxious or stressed, has flared up. So, when it’s supposed to be the most exciting time in her career, why is Cara feeling troubled? 'She puts herself under so…

“I need time to do what I love. It’s not just my career – it’s my life” ‘In a climate where most people were trying to get a job, I voluntarily gave mine up.’ Three years ago Charlene Laville, CEO of make-up company Nizz Cosmetics, quit her job as a nurse. It was scary, it was daunting, but it was something she knew she had to do. Her nursing job, she says, was making her unhappy. 'The long hours, the constant commitment… I’d worked very hard to achieve my qualification and at that point in my life I felt it would be my dream job, but it wasn’t,’ she says. 'I felt ungrateful to even consider leaving – it was a permanent job and I have kids – but I…

‘If your dungarees are a bit snug when you initially buy them, don’t panic. After a while the denim will stretch and then they’ll fit yourfigure like a glove’ Nienke, size 14 It’s as easy as 1,2,3… 1 Raining outside? Swap the sliders for more weather-apprope flats, like a pair of slip-on skate shoes. 2 Not a fan of brights? Zesty lemon and lime shades can be hard to pull off, particularly for fair skin tones. Try this look with a dress in a cherry red or navy blue hue instead. 3 Too sunny for a sweatshirt? A retro tee layered underneath your ruffle dress will also tick off this season’s athleisure trend. SPORTY SPIN • Thought you’d never wear that tiered frilly dress outside of your wedding guest wardrobe?…

We don’t like to throw the term 'It’ buy around lightly, but this top definitely warrants that status. You’ve probably already spied it dominating your Instagram feed – it’s been worn by basically every blogger worth noting – and it just so happens to be the broderie anglaise blouse from our exclusive Look X Glamorous collection, most of which touches down in selected Topshop stores and online this week! OK, so we know we designed it but, after seducing so many stylish fans, it’s hard not to toot our own horn. Not only has it won the hearts of Insta-babes @livpurvis, @erica_davies and MIC veteran Rosie Fortescue, it’s become a firm outfit fave at Look HQ too (cue many an awkward #twinning situations in the office). Can you blame us,…

Curating the ultimate cool-girl wardrobe from scratch is no mean feat; it takes total dedication, an eye for killer pieces and a lot of time spent pilfering through vintage rails. It’s basically a full-time job. Just as well then, that Missguided has got your #ootd starter kit down with a new haul of babin’ buys that’ll see you through to the end of summer. Think California-style cut-offs, crochet crop tops and more tie dye than you’d see at Woodstock. It’s essentially your fast track to the effortless vibe the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin do so well, minus the four-figure price tags. As for accessories, if they don’t pack a major style hit, they ain’t happening. The tan fringed rucksack is a trans-seasonal must-have that you’ll rock right…

Olivia Palermo’s a hands-down style icon – and her beauty regime is just as impressive as her wardrobe. From never being without a red nail polish to having her hair cut every three weeks, it’s safe to say she’s more high maintenance than us folk. So when we found out that she takes off her make-up with Vaseline, we couldn’t quite believe it. She has some of the best skin in the biz, so we’re thinking we might switch our fancy cleansers for the petroleum jelly. Keep a mini one handy for touch-ups on the go. Vaseline Has More Than One Magic Trick Up Its Sleeve! HERE ARE FIVE OTHER WAYS TO USE THE GOOD STUFF… 1 As a lash conditioner. It also helps to make them grow. 2 To…

“David’s admirers seem to stalk him… he just can’t get away” If we had a husband as good-looking as David Beckham, we’d probably want him to be around all the time too – which is why it’s not surprising that Victoria has apparently slapped David with a curfew. Yep, according to our insiders the fashion designer has told David she doesn’t want him to be out all the time because women won’t stop flirting with him. According to our source, it’s annoying for VB that women are always chatting up her husband and the 42-year-old’s noticed he’s not that good at telling them to go away. 'She knows he probably means well,’ said a friend, 'but she thinks it makes her look a bit silly when he’s so friendly to…

Despite the fact that the former Neighbours actress is now a bona fide Hollywood star, what’s nice about Margot Robbie is that she’s super-normal. She lives with her boyfriend, British film director Tom Ackerley, in Clapham. She has housemates (she likes to save money) and even pops to the shops in her onesie. We heart. But when the 26-year-old isn’t chilling out in London with her mates, it’s all A-list. She’s starred in some of the biggest movies of the past few years, including The Wolf Of Wall Street, Focus andTarzan, and she’s recently taken on the iconic role of psychotic supervillain Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. She’s even snogged Leo DiCaprio, Will Smith and Alexander Skarsgård along the way! So basically, she’s a top actress with a normal life…

Last week Selena took to Instagram to reveal she was struggling with work at the moment, saying that she felt ‘unauthentic’ and ‘stagnant’ in her performance. Cara famously left behind her extremely lucrative career as a catwalk model to become an actress. She said she left the industry partly for the sake of her sanity. ‘It didn’t make me grow at all as a human being. And I kind of forgot how young I was. I felt so old,’ she explained. Jessica put acting on the back-burner when she started consumer products company Honest. It’s now worth over $ 1 billion, so we guess it was worth it……

ladies who lunch Floaty midi skirts, printed mules, froufrou blouses – they’re all big this season. Choose bold prints and statement cuts. Trust us, your lunch meet will never forget your face, while you’ll ooze confidence and set yourself above the rest. BEST-DRESSED DESKIE If you ask us, an office dress code isn’t always a bad thing. Gucci, Chanel and Tory Burch sent models down the runway in a selection of souped-up blouses, frocks and tailored two-pieces that give workwear a whole new meaning – and the high street has officially caught on, too. Altogether now, workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a livin’… stylish at-home mums OK, so you might not be up for a promo per se, but you definitely want to earn best-dressed status…

Try teaming frills and flounces with a silky bomber or a pair of sporty runner shorts for a tomboy take on the trend • With its sexy shoulder-skimming neckline and dramatic flounced sleeves, it’s fair to say this top has a pretty feminine feel to it. However, if your signature style lies a little on the androgynous side, don’t let that put you off. A pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, fuss-free flats and a sporty luxe leather backpack can help bring a boyish edge to romantic ruffle details in seconds. Simples.…

1 Benefit Ka-Brow, £18.50 Look’s Gabrielle: If you want buildable brows that look like the real thing, this is the gel for you. It comes in a flexible but non-sticky formula, as well as with a teeny-tiny slanted brush for application. Handy! You have to go for short, sharp, hair-like movements to avoid harsh blocking, but overall this is pretty dreamy. Kellie: It took me a little while to master the brush and get clean sweeps, but after a little bit of practice I nailed it. I like a well-defined, sleek brow finish and, when teamed with concealer at the brow edge this gel gave me just that. Fab. Best For: Barely-there brows 2 Illamasqua Brow Build, £12.95 Look’s Gabrielle: My brows loved this product –…

2 4/ 7 Dress Oasis’ latest V&A hook-up is a floral fan’s dream. There are PJ co-ords, bombers and separates, but it’s this beaut I’m buying. Fluted sleeves and oriental-inspired birds make it far from your average floral frock. This will be one hard-working addition to your wardrobe. Kate In There Like Swimwear To say I was excited about Lavish Alice launching swimwear is an understatement. I’ll be wearing this striped number on its own at the beach, then with wide-leg trousers and wedges in the evening. Plus, it looks super-similar to Taylor and Cara’s 4th July party swimwear – and who wouldn’t want to be in that gang? Bridie Another Day, Another Bardot I’ve bought about 372,849,494 Bardot tops in the last few months, but nothing will stop me…

That’s a saving of £936 – just sayin’. 3 Get It On Your Lunch Break A firm FROW favourite since the 90s, the classic Fendi ‘Baguette’ is one style that stands the test of time. Save your pennies and snap up this ASOS dead ringer. 4 Can’t Believe The Price Tag Bag One of these bags costs £35. And no, that’s not in the sale. The Hermés Birkin costs £36,000. That is all. 5 Everyday Essential Practical? Check. Versatile? Yep. Super-cute? You know it. The Gucci ‘Soho’ cross-body…

Prepare for robe-gate, as just about every street-styler has now rocked a dressing gown out of doors. We’re not talking about that fluffy fuchsia number you got last Christmas. Oh no – this is all about streamlined maxi gowns. Worn open over everything from jeans and heels to short skirts and flats, these robes work with any outfit. All-over prints help to steer them out of boudoir territory and into the sort of place where cool girls hang. And the high street has loads ! So why not turn that gown upside down? (Sorry.) Don’t feel gown (sorry again) because you’ve just found the world’s comfiest outfit saviour. And it also lends itself very happily to puns. *Our Senior Fashion News Writer Maxine Eggenberger tried out the trend… ‘I wasn’t…

“THAT VISCOSE WEDGED BETWEEN MY CHEEKS WAS AN ABSOLUTE TREAT” Hi, my name’s Chloe, and I’m a cotton knicker convert. Back in the 90s, I was all about three-for-£10 skimpy G-strings (much like the rest of the female population), with pink leopard being my thong of choice. And oh, how my derrière was hungry for these teeny beauties. I don’t want to put you off your lunch, but that viscose wedged right between my cheeks was an absolute treat, all day and all night long. Yep, those bad boys weren’t budging for anyone. After Saturday night’s skimpiest disco knickers came the joy and relief of Sunday’s big pants, AKA the ultimate in lingerie comfort. And, slowly but surely, those big pants have come right back into fashion – and I…

‘We have date nights once a week. That’s the key, being best mates and having a laugh...’ Just 12 months ago, a giddy newlywed Michelle Keegan was gushing to Look about her and Mark Wright’s relationship. But fast forward a year and the picture’s a little different. 'We don’t see each other as often as I’d like,’ she told us recently. 'We’ve both been so busy, it’ll be nice to get away.’ And friends say they’re worried if they don’t have some time off together soon, things might start to fall apart for the couple. Last week Mark, 29, admitted the pair need a break, saying: 'We’ve got a few more weeks and then Michelle and I have got some time when we’re going to have a free period to…

Whether she’s off-duty in NYC or blazing a couture trail at her latest premiere, Margot Robbie has officially been granted style icon status. The star’s seriously upped her fashion game since recruiting A-list über-stylist Kate Young (the woman behind Sienna Miller and Dakota Johnson’s looks) to curate her wardrobe. And while she’s been jetting around the world to promote her new film Suicide Squad, the actress has treated us to some of her best looks to date – all of which just so happen to be monochrome. Proving it’s the chicest colour combo ever , we’ve been pining for her flawless black and white ensembles. From her ditsy print two-piece to her block-stripe frock, we want the lot – and luckily for us, the high street has plenty of dead…

Sushi, honey, tofu… so far, so healthy, right? Well, maybe not. According to nutritionists, certain foods we think will improve our health could actually be pumping sugar into our body and making those kick-flare jeans feel that bit tighter. Meet the eight health-food fraudsters to avoid on your next shop… 1 Sushi ‘The amount of protein and vegetables you get in sushi is often tiny in comparison to the amount of white rice in each serving. It’s healthier to have a fist-sized portion of protein with half a plate of vegetables and an espresso cup portion of brown rice,’ says Shona Wilkinson, nutritionist at SuperfoodUK.com . 2 Wholemeal Bread ‘Always choose a loaf made with wholegrain wheat as the main ingredient. Avoid those that just say “brown”…
