celebrating the remarkable Last week we came together for Stylist’s annual Remarkable Women Awards in partnership with bareMinerals. After almost two years of cancelled plans, spending a night celebrating with a room full of smart, entertaining, game-changing women felt even more special... the energy was so electric that as our presenters and winners took to the stage, you could have heard a pin drop as we hung onto every word. Our Remarkable Women Awards are an opportunity for us to recognise women who use their platform to help other women, as well as those leading the way in their fields. Which is how we ended up with Mel B, Sinéad Burke, Jess Phillips, Bernardine Evaristo, Joy Crookes and a host of other brilliant women chatting animatedly in The Londoner hotel.…

beauty Big Impressions Knocking light and wafty scents off their perfume pedestal, larger-than-life fragrances are back with a serious bang Words: Shannon Peterphotography: dennis pedersen full-on floral Powerfully potent, Narciso Rodriguez Musc Noir Rose, £102 for 100ml, muddles high concentrations of tuberose and patchouli with a generous glug of zesty bergamot oil. intense iris With soft jasmine and rose, Creed Wind Flowers, £260 for 75ml, could feel floaty and delicate if it wasn’t for the inclusion of iris in full bloom: rich, buttery and almost suede-like. Weighty wood Thirty years since its inception, the hedonistic blend of dense cedarwood and syrupy plum found in Serge Lutens Féminité Du Bois, £110 for 50ml, feels just as moreish as it did back then. rich rose A far cry from the fuddy-duddy rose…

stylist advertorial super trouper Mamma Mia! the musical turns 23 this year – here’s why it still has Stylist’s Amie-Jo Locke dancing in the aisles… I remember the first time I saw Mamma Mia! way back in 2000, it felt like the stars had aligned. As a die-hard fan of the Swedish pop foursome, ABBA, a musical that featured all the hits while still capturing their awesome disco-campiness hit my twenty-something heart like a Super Trouper of pure joy. I loved it. I told everyone how much I loved it. And, because everyone knew what a massive ABBA fan I was, whenever I visited somewhere where Mamma Mia! happened to be playing, I was gifted tickets. It became a running joke about how many times I’d seen it (eight and…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Lizzie Pook, author Lizzie, 36, cut her teeth on the Stylist features desk before pursuing her passion for travel writing. This month she publishes her debut novel, Moonlight And The Pearler’s Daughter, touted as a must-read for 2022 I wake naturally at about 8.20am and immediately reach for the notepad on my bedside table. I’m a bad sleeper and often wake groggily in the night thinking I’ve had an idea for the world’s greatest novel that I simply must write down. Inevitably, when I check the scribbles in the morning, it’s total gobbledegook or just one single word like: chickens. I’ll eat breakfast – blueberries, coconut yoghurt and green tea – check my emails then settle down to write. I…

stylist advertorial a life less ordinary With two Oscar nominations already under its belt, Norwegian flick The Worst Person In The World is spring’s must-see movie Every so often, a film comes along that sits with you until long after the credits roll. Quite often, these charming, sensitive little cinematic masterpieces are about nothing more than the curious and messy lives we lead, deftly scripted explorations of everyday complexities with stand-out performances and beautiful cinematography. Readers, The Worst Person In The World is most definitely one of these movies. Directed by Joachim Trier, The Worst Person In The World tells the story of Julie (played by break-out star Renate Reinsve), a self-proclaimed ‘flaky’ girl, whose life flip-flops from college to photography and working in a bookshop, all the while struggling…

remarkable women awards 2o22 then we partied the night away... Here’s what went down at Stylist’s third Remarkable Women Awards If you happened to walk past The Londoner hotel in Leicester Square on Monday 14 March, you might have caught a glimpse of some truly remarkable women. Cameras flashed and cheeks were kissed as actors, singers, activists and community heroes filed into the event of the year: Stylist’s Remarkable Women Awards 2022 in partnership with bareMinerals. You know here at Stylist we love nothing better than championing female role models, and after two years of not being able to toast their achievements in person, it was only right that this year we went big. There were goosebump-inducing speeches from Joy Crookes and Sinéad Burke, who made us all tear up…

ukraine “Leaving Ukraine Was Heart-wrenching” As bombs dropped on her hometown of Kyiv, journalist Maria Romanenko, 29, began a difficult journey to the border – but leaving her family behind was the hardest part We were staying at my dad’s in the suburbs when my boyfriend Jez woke me up to tell me Kyiv had been bombed. The day before, Dad had called us to say the centre, where we lived, might not be safe. I’d thrown enough clothes in my bag for a long weekend. In the taxi, I was telling Jez I wanted to be back in Kyiv for a photoshoot a few days later. As I came round from my slumber, I checked Twitter and saw that it wasn’t just Kyiv that had been hit: Russia had…

the titles worthy of a place on your bedside table wise words from an  icon Burning Questions by Margaret Atwood I’m not sure when Margaret Atwood, now 82, sleeps. This vast collection of ‘essays and occasional pieces’ written between 2004 and 2021 reveals the enviable work ethic of an author who has not only written 17 novels, multiple collections of poetry and several works of non-fiction, but countless speeches, book reviews, obituaries and forewords, too. The sheer size of Burning Questions invites you to flick to essays that intrigue you, rather than reading chronologically. And so I turned first to the chilling genesis of The Handmaid’s Tale – “I didn’t put anything into this book that hadn’t already been done somewhere”. Then her brush with the MeToo movement in 2018, Am I…

But while it might seem like a relatively new trend, people around the world have been cutting out animal products for centuries. In Greek-Cypriot culture, nistisimo refers to the foods that are naturally free from animal products eaten during Orthodox periods of fasting. Georgina Hayden’s new cookbook Nistisima explores this way of eating with mouth-watering recipes such as this pumpkin and raisin pie with harissa. A delicious dinner party dish that will cater to all sorts of eaters: we call that a win. preparation time 15 minutes cooking time 1 hour 15 minutes ingredients (serves 4) 800g pumpkin or butternut squash125ml olive…

stylist advertorial “To make women’s healthcare accessible for everyone” Founders of virtual healthcare clinic Syrona Health, Chantelle Bell and Anya Roy, chat to Stylist about inclusivity, lifting taboos and how tech can help democratise women’s health… Chantelle and I met while doing our master’s degrees at Cambridge in 2016,” says Anya Roy. “We had previously worked in corporate fields and had both suffered gynaecological health issues. In our experience, it was still taboo to talk about health concerns at work, gynaecological health in particular. Syrona Health started as an idea that we had to address this stigma and the lack of resources and support out there. Initially, it was a side project as we both returned to corporate jobs after graduating. We worked on it during evenings and weekends until…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 16 PROBING QUESTIONS iris  Apfel What will the fashion icon make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To find your own way to your own kind of happiness. Because life has a different meaning for every person. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? I try not to dwell too much on absolutes. They never seem to last. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Anywhere I can be creative. That’s one of the most important things in my life. As long as I can keep being creative, I’ll be happy. NATURE OR NURTURE? Both, of course. We each have a grain of uniqueness that belongs to us alone, but we’re also shaped by our experiences and the paths we take. I…
