When Ava Vakil posted an open letter to her Instagram earlier this week, she had no idea it would go viral. The letter, addressed to Andrew Halls, headmaster of King’s College School in Wimbledon, southwest London, detailed what she described as the school’s ‘cultural problem of misogyny’ and accused it of being ‘a hotbed of

Whether you’re fully silver or have shots of sparkle speckled through your hair, greys are beautiful, natural and increasingly popular. Over lockdown, we’ve all become a lot more familiar with our natural colour. And we’re more than happy to rock it. If that sounds like you, you’re in famous company. At last years Golden Globes,

This time last year, when we all went into the first lockdown, no one could have predicted the unprecedented devastation and havoc the Covid-19 pandemic would wreak across the world. It has been a global war against this invisible enemy and our brave soldiers on the front line have been our key workers, mainly in

Let me start by saying this: My friends are the single most important thing in my life. I’ve had the same group of friends since I was a kid. They are my soulmates. I wrote an entire novel about the power of female friendship, and dedicated it to brilliant, smart, hilarious, kind and totally batshit

Maybe you’re already au fait with the old hair dye. Maybe you’ve already rocked most shades on the colour wheel, or maybe, you’ve yet to take the plunge. We get it, cray-cray hair colours look incredible, but they can require a whole heap of confidence and a fair amount of commitment to pull off. But,

As any new parent will tell you, what you gain in love, hormones and nappies, you lose in sleep. “Sleep now while you can!” is the most popular advice I’ve received since falling pregnant – and as someone who is blessed with a solid 8 hours every night, I am terrified of what lies ahead.

As we transition our wardrobes into the warmer months, there’s one outfit essential I just cannot stop buying. And that’s the bodysuit. The unsung hero of my every outfit, bodysuits can see you through daytime, noon and night – sans any effort or very much thought at all. And, somehow, I keep finding myself placing

Along with the numerous other challenges presented by lockdown, it seems that everyone I know is in a serious cooking slump of late. It could be due to the monotony of cooking yet another meal (remember restaurants?), the ongoing clean-up of pots and pans, or the realisation your cooking *actually* just isn’t that good. But

On March 16, a series of shootings within a single hour at three massage parlours in Atlanta, Georgia left eight people dead, including six Asian women. At the time this was published, only the names of those killed in the first attack have been released. They include Xiaojie Tan, 49; Daoyou Feng, 44; Delaina Ashley

Trends come and go, but bare, glossy nails will always look neat, squeaky clean, and beautiful. For SS21 we’ve seen lilac, chartreuse and leather-look nails all take off, but they’re not for everyone. Minimalists know there’s one sure-fire way to guarantee their nails look chic with everything, and that’s sticking to nudes and neutrals. In

Whether it’s dictating our life choices, spending habits, hairstyle or even our skincare regime, our star sign can be super influential in how we live our life. And GLAMOUR’s resident astrologist, Emma Howarth, says that you can use your star sign to influence your sartorial choices, too. Obviously it’s all just a bit of a

Friends has been ingrained in our culture – and conversations – ever since it first aired over 25 years ago in 1994 (yep, we feel old too). But one debate about the long-revered TV show still remains: who is the best character? Whether you see yourself as more of a Type-A, mother of the group

Apparently it’s Spring, who knew? After what felt like the longest winter of all time (seriously, January and February felt like an entire year), the promise of warmer weather is very welcome news. But looking out my window as I write this, it’s chucking it down with rain, I’m wearing two jumpers, and I have

Women are tired. We are angry and afraid and just so damn tired. Since Sarah Everard‘s murder, male violence against women has dominated our collective discourse. We’re talking about it on the news, on social media, in our WhatsApp groups, and in our homes. For women, this conversation is nothing new; this fear and outrage

When Sarah Harding revealed last August that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38 it sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and with Girls Aloud fans. Having delayed getting a lump checked out because of being scared to visit hospital in lockdown, Sarah eventually received the diagnosis early last summer

When it comes to ads, there’s nothing better when a brand releases a campaign that truly celebrates womanhood in all its glory. Nike just released a maternity advert featuring a host of pregnant and breastfeeding athletes and it’s so damn empowering we can’t get enough. The video, titled “Toughest Athletes” released on Nike’s social media

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles may not have had the best break up back in 2013 but it seems there’s no love lost between the exes, who both attended this year’s Grammy Awards. The two pop stars became the talk of Twitter after Taylor was spotted on her feet, clapping for Harry as he accepted

Femtech has (rightly) seen an almighty rise over the past decade, as new technology such as period trackers, fertility solutions and things that generally make a woman’s life better are finally starting to be prioritised. Tania Boler, winner of the GLAMOUR Women of the Year 2021 Technology Gamechanger Award, has been a pioneer in the

For any fitness fanatic, foam rolling is an integral part of your everyday routine. One of the most popular forms of self-manual therapy, foam rolling can help to increase flexibility. Improve recovery and reduce muscle soreness following a workout. While foam rollers are targeted at people who regularly exercise, Betsan de Renesse, personal trainer and
