“No amount of elbow tapping will ever replace a real hug” How do you say hello and goodbye in this post-lockdown world? As the rules in England have relaxed, I’ve made the most of seeing my friends again. Not illegal raves or packed pubs, but gentle cups of tea, glasses of wine, walks around the park and evenings around a shared dinner table. Every meet-up has been the joy I knew it would be. After months of shouting at one another over Zoom, we’re back to hysterical giggling (not seen since aged 13), cathartic ranting and the joy of sharing the overwhelm and absolute delight at being in one another’s real-life company again. It is like winning the lottery every single time. But saying goodbye has developed an awkwardness akin…

“My heart aches for a night out clubbing” words: billie bhatia As pubs, restaurants and hairdressers reopened their doors, hordes of thirsty drinkers, hungry-for-something-that-isn’t-home-cooked eaters and, let’s face it, people with mullets, rejoiced. But there was one benefactor that was notably absent from this line-up: nightclubs. I love a pub as much as the next person, even the smell of stale beer doesn’t deter me from spending more hours in the pub than I have ever spent in a gym. Restaurants and I have a strong, unwavering bond that prompts at least three messages a week from friends – both virtual and IRL – to ask for recommendations on their next meal out. And for a while my biggest expense was a weekly blow-dry at Hershesons. But there is no…

beauty Dial up your eyeshadow From rings of neon eyeliner to tinted cat-eye flicks, Stylist takes you through the new eyeshadow looks that are easy to create, whatever your comfort level Words: Kiran MeedaPhotography: Dennis Pedersen Whether it’s a bright pink lip or a slick of electric blue eyeliner, there’s no denying that wearing colour can lift your mood. It’s exactly this air of optimism that make-up artists were channelling when creating looks backstage at the s/s 2020 shows. From House of Holland to Moschino, models’ faces were painted in a rainbow of unapologetically bright hues in what was, in beauty terms, one of the most creative seasons yet. And it seems Instagram has caught the bright make-up bug too. Head to the profiles of influential make-up artists Katie Jane…

lockdown singing why belting out tunes is getting us through 2020 From virtual choirs to Zoom karaoke sessions, Stylist investigates how communal singing has helped us through the Covid-19 crisis Words: Lisa Harvey It’s 8.05 on a Tuesday evening in June, and after a long working day I’m sitting on my sofa and channelling my inner ‘hooty pigeon’ over Zoom. “Open the back of your throat and impersonate a pigeon,” a cheery young woman in Liverpool is telling me. I coo as I’m told, while trying to keep my larynx in a low position. About a minute passes and I’m suddenly aware that although no one can hear me (I’m on mute), I’m sounding more like Dory from Finding Nemo trying to ‘speak whale’ – and that this is one…

5 ways to brighten up your home A flash of colour can transform your interiors and make a statement that even minimalists can get on board with. Stylist speaks to the experts to find out how words: Tracy Ramsden If you’ve found yourself reaching for the paint colour chart after staring at the same walls for the past three months, it might be time to dial up the brightness indoors. Given that our surroundings have been proven to have an impact on everything from our mood to our sleep patterns, there’s a reason why those muted grey walls might be starting to feel oppressive. “We live in the UK, not on a Greek island dappled with whitewashed houses and azure seas, and that means our external backdrop is naturally very…

How to Get the career you want To kick off School of Stylist – a brand new series of virtual seminars – leading career coaches Sarah Ellis and Helen Tupper talk us through the secrets to resilience at work and how to thrive in the face of change words: hannah keegan In the last few months, the world of work has changed unrecognisably. Homes, once sanctuaries away from the demands of work, have become live-in offices. We’ve not seen our colleagues in months. And our carefully curated career trajectories have rapidly been sent off course, leaving us feeling adrift. “Lots of people are feeling stuck at the moment, like there’s no positive momentum. And you can see people’s confidence is wavering,” says Sarah Ellis, co-founder of award-winning career development platform…

leave of absence From seismic life changes to welcomed solitude, Stylist speaks to five women about what they’ve learnt during their time on furlough WORDS: Hannah Keegan Presently, Instagram is a land of two realities. There are the pictures of WFH setups, all frothy coffee and sharpened pencils (because airbrushing a nightmare is what the app is all about), screenshots of Zoom calls and memes about meetings that, still, could have been an email. Then there are the posts from those who have found themselves temporarily without work: on furlough. This is a place of (largely) TikTok dance routines, lemon drizzle cakes made with expert precision, or sunny landscapes taken on an afternoon walk. In truth, both probably envy the other. ‪Technically, the word ‘furlough’, derived from the Dutch verlof,…

kiki layne “My goal is to break out of the limitations placed on black actresses” After her stunning debut in If Beale Street Could Talk, KiKi Layne – star of new Netflix action film The Old Guard – tells Stylist she’s only just getting started words: helen bownass The Old Guard is a film that involves superheroes, epic fight scenes and immortal beings.

And has two female leads (Charlize Theron and KiKi Layne). This is what films should look like in 2020. Layne gives this fun,…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 20 PROBING QUESTIONS Laura Kenny What will the four-time Olympic Champion make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? For me, it’s all about being with my family and enjoyment. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? Right is something positive, something which improves. Wrong is something negative, something that shouldn’t happen or isn’t necessarily the right thing to do. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? At home with [my son] Albie, [husband and fellow cyclist] Jason and the dogs [Sprolo and Pringle, springer-poodle cross-breed]. NATURE OR NURTURE? Nurture. IS IT MORE IMPORTANT TO BE LIKED OR RESPECTED? For me, it’s always been more important to be respected. IF YOU COULD BE REMEMBERED FOR ONE THING WHAT WOULD IT BE? Being an…
