BHS captures the Middleton Look.
No longer seen as the shop where you could buy a sensible sweater for your maiden aunt, BHS has unveiled a truly stylish collection for Autumn and Winter. And it seems as if the inspiration has come from two very special sisters. Yes, there is definitely a hint of Middleton about this collection! From some seriously stylish wrap dresses, officially one of the hottest styles for the new season according to the Bible that is Grazia, to a red coat that echoes Kate’s love of the vibrant colour, to pretty pussycat bow blouses and dresses that owe more than a passing glance to a certain Stella McCartney dress worn by…

Grazia admits It photoshopped Duchess Kate
She looked so beautiful in that Sarah Burton dress, but when she appeared on the Grazia commemorative issue, Kate, the new Duchess of Cambridge, looked decidedly slimmer. Grazia denied it had done anything to alter Kate’s figure, which included a miniscule waistline. But now Grazia have admitted that they did ‘Photoshop’ the image of Kate that they used, although they claim that the slimming of Kate was an inadvertent consequence of the picture manipulation, rather than the actual reason for it. Confused? Well, it seems that the Groom, Prince William had selfishly been holding Kate by the arm in the original picture, ruining the Grazia cover. Grazia had altered the…

Kate Middleton slimmed down by Grazia? – Telegraph
Kate Middleton slimmed down by Grazia? – Telegraph. If this story is true then I am totally shocked and disappointed by what is usually one of my favourite magazines. According to the Daily Telegraph, Grazia used photoshop to slim down Kate for their special Royal wedding day issue. Kate’s waist appears notably slimmer than in the official shot the cover was based. This is puzzling considering that many thought Kate had lost too much weight in the lead up to the big day. Grazia have denied that they altered the picture to make Kate look slimmer, so compare the two shots and see what you think!

Christina Hendricks – A modern siren.
And so this week it happened. A truly curvy, beautiful woman made the cover of Grazia Magazine. And whilst the photograph of Christina Hendricks at the Emmys that made the cover is beautiful, am I the only person who found the tagline and some of the comments used in the article slightly patronising? ‘Christina fever’ the headline screamed, ‘the week this size 14, 38e body stormed Hollywood’. And whilst it is undoubtably true that Emmy week did see an explosion of interest in Christina and other curvier beauties (Crystal Renn, Amber Riley etc), why did Grazia feel the need to splash her vital statistics all over the cover. Would it…
