Xiye Bastida already knows what it means to have her life forever altered by the effects of climate change. The 19-year-old climate activist grew up in San Pedro Tultepec, Mexico, where unprecedented rainfall caused flooding that kept her from attending school. When she moved to New York City in 2015, she saw the damage caused

“I’ve never been excited about jeans in the way that I am now,” Nicole Richie exclaims from her LA studio, mid-way through our virtual (obviously) interview. The boho babe with impeccable style – whose comedic one-liners shot her into the spotlight alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life – is sat beside her 22-year-old sister,

It’s safe to say the past year has taken a heavy toll on our mental health. Even as we ease out of lockdown, we’re still not feeling quite ‘right’ (that’s called languishing, BTW), but there is one easy thing that could help: reading. Reading is a transformative mental health tool. One study found that reading

The past year has drawn us closer to sartorial comfort than ever. We’ve prioritised a combination of practicality and beauty in our wardrobes (case in point: matching pastel-hued tracksuits and tie-dye sweat shorts), our demand for loungewear has grown and our favourite fashion retailers have served up exactly what we’ve asked for. Read: something loose-fitting,

Some people were born into entrepreneurship, others planned for it. Then, there’s Liya Kebede who considers herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” For most international supermodels, you can almost predict their trajectory—supermodel status, then brand ambassador, then beauty brand or clothing line will follow suit. But Kebede’s path wasn’t that clear cut. When she refers to herself

There’s nothing worse than dry lips. They’re uncomfortable, can often be painful, and get in the way of wearing our favourite lipsticks. Keeping them hydrated and soothed can feel like a full-time job at times, and sometimes, lip balm just doesn’t cut it. If you’re finding your lips feel perpetually dry, consider adding a lip

What daughter hasn’t raided her mother’s closet at some point? Clomping around the house in a pair of too-big high heels is practically a sartorial rite of passage. But what if said mother happens to be the creative director of a major European fashion house? “I always felt she was drawn to it, but she

In a bid to live more sustainably, we’ve all had to reexamine our shopping habits, including when it comes to buying our beauty products. Some of us have decided to go plastic-free to help reduce the issue of ocean pollution, choosing products that come in compostable or biodegradable packaging instead. Some of us have become

The internet loves to ‘ship’ fictional or real individuals together, and right now social media is divided on one of the greatest debates of 2021: should Shadow and Bone’s Alina, played by Jessie Mei Li be in a relationship with Ben Barnes’s Darkling of Archie Renaux’s Malyen ‘Mal’ Oretsev? In case this is the first

If you’ve got an anniversary coming up, congratulations! Last year’s celebrations – thanks to lockdown – were restricted to a takeaway washed down with a glass of Prosecco in the kitchen. Or a Zoom date, if you were separated. This year, however, you’ve got the opportunity to do things differently. Restaurants have reopened, weekend breaks

Roland Neveu/Courtesy of Netflix; Getty Images Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Rachel Walsh recently traveled thirty years back in time.

There’s no better passtime than testing out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a new at-home facial system or snazzy pair of hair straighteners, only to find out they don’t *actually*

You know the feeling. Instead of springing out of bed in the morning and feeling ready for the day ahead, you pull the duvet over your head and snooze your alarm. Instead of feeling excited at the thought of Aperols in the beer garden with your ‘rule of six’ mates this weekend, you just feel

The search for summer wedding guest dresses is *officially* ON, with weddings starting back up again (TY, vaccinations!) and postponed invitations flooding through our letterbox. If your coffee table is slowly becoming overwhelmed with save-the-dates for the nuptials of your loved ones, it’s likely you’re after a cute AF wedding guest dress to feel your

This issue of Britney Spears‘s conservatorship has intensified her place in the spotlight – everyone wants a piece of the pop star. Usually cryptic in her social media posts, the singer this time made it clear she’s had enough of all of the documentaries that have come out and focused on her conservatorship, something she

Outdoor rugs are my current obsession: the latest in an embarrassingly long line of garden furniture purchases ahead of a summer packed full of outdoor socialising. Like everyone else, I’m *so* excited to be reunited with my loved ones, and have been stocking up on sun loungers, hanging egg chairs, outdoor parasols, BBQs and pizza

Want to know how to achieve the French-girl beauty look? The fact that we all rushed to swipe-up French it-girl Violette_FR’s hotly anticipated new beauty line just proves how obsessed we still are with achieving the Parisienne aesthetic. The OG French ‘It’ girl just dropped her own beauty range and people are going wild for

Justin Bieber‘s fortunate there were no birds around as he headed in for his dinner date with Hailey, or they might have tried to set up shop on his new ‘do — a pulled-back take on locks. The Biebs and his wife hit up Craig’s restaurant in WeHo Monday night, arriving with very contrasting styles

Billie Eilish is unrecognisable. The 19-year-old singer was, yesterday, revealed to be on the cover of the June issue of British Vogue, having ditched her trademark neon green and black hair for a warmer blonde hue and traded in her usual baggy attire for corsets and brassieres. It’s sexy and playful, not Billie’s usual look,

Shaun Bailey, the Conservative Party candidate for London mayor, may be trailing 20 points behind Labour’s Sadiq Khan in his bid to be elected on Thursday 6 May. It’s even been reported that his failure is such a foregone conclusion, Tory MPs have been advised not to campaign for Bailey and that there have been

Millie Bobby Brown may have only just turned 17 (!), but she’s already cemented herself as a style icon. The Stranger Things star is no, erm, stranger to a playful beauty look, but we think her latest might just be our favourite. Posting to Instagram on Monday, Millie shared a selfie that showed her sitting

Chris Hemsworth threw one helluva soiree down under … and got his pals like Matt Damon to dress right white for the occasion. The “Thor” star and wife Elsa Pataky showed off what looked like an incredible shindig Sunday in Australia’s hot town of Byron Bay. The star-studded affair was a white-themed party, so everyone

Dermascraping, or sonic skin scraping or skin scrubbing as it’s also called, may not be quite what you think it is. Not to be confused with dermaplaning, which amounts to a close shave with a scalpel to remove downy hairs and dead skin cells, or microdermabrasion, which blasts the skin surface with crystal particles to

It’s not uncommon for a fashion house to launch a cosmetics range. Chanel, Dior, Givenchy have enjoyed vast success through their ranges of makeup, skincare and fragrance, and even newcomers to the beauty game Gucci and Hermes have launched to high praise and instant cult status. However, the high street’s offerings have always left us
