A joyfully anarchic day at Goodwoof, where I was thrilled to be asked to judge the Chien Charmant category with a distinguished cohort including @pattieboydofficial @mrjhackett and @hillhousevintage - it was all there, from dog beds in the shape of spaceships to a dachshunds called Mr Bigglesworth dressed as a flying ace… @goodwood @goodwoofdogs #dogsandmadenglishmen

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside… especially with @matthieu_blazy @chanelofficial #chanelcruise #biarritz_paysbasque

Hamming it up in honour of @tdwp2 - well, it’s not every day Rankin takes your picture… Thank you for making me feel #miranda Dress @dior sunnies @cartier Hair @mrmarkrichsmith photo by @rankinarchive RANKIN for 20th Century Studios UK in celebration of the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2

The May issue of @bazaaruk is out now and it's HUGE! Starring #annehathaway reprising her iconic role in #devilwearsprada2 - plus @justinepicardie on Elsa Schiaparelli, @hannahjbetts on explosive family feuds, exquisite couture fashion, and our first glossy Interiors special - and I dare to dabble in the latest psychedelics…

An amazing evening discussing the powerful A Second Life with the artist and the lead curator @traceyeminstudio and @mariabalshaw @tate thank you @gucci @bazaaruk #bazaarprivé Pic @oliverholms

There’s an interesting article in Bazaar At Work this month on how to tackle procrastination. According to the writer, we put things off not because we’re lazy, but because the emotions around the task are overwhelming. So if I’m a bit late getting round to posting about the April issue of @bazaaruk , it’s just because I love it! Starring the talented and forthright Rachel Zegler, and featuring the spy who dressed the Queen, beautiful fashion, the manor owned by the originator of #shabbychic and the world’s loveliest scents, among other uplifting stories... @rachelzegler wears @simonerocha_ @tiffanyandco Photographer @alexilubomirski Stylist @mirandaalmond Deputy Editor &Writer @franceshedges Creative Director @zoyakaye Fashion Director @avrilmair Entertainment Editor @nicolafahey Photography Director @jeslucy Hair stylist @wardhair4real Make-up artist @francelledaly Manicurist @ohmynailsnyc Set design @jackrflanagan Stylist assistants @cassymeier_stylist @hadyaa_ Tailoring Jacqui Bennett Photo assistants @benjamintietge , @emmanuel_rosario Production @frankjdecaro @runwithwolvesproduction Location @garysloft

A real honour to speak at Harper’s @bazaaruk International Women’s Day 2026 dinner & share the stage with the super talented & feminist @suziemillerwriter @drproudman & @franceshedges deputy editor of Harper’s - and to watch the other brilliant speakers including 007 herself - @lashanalynch_ interviewed by @lydiasmag Slater editor in chief. Thank you to my ever glorious date @colbertcharlotte who always brings the style. I love these pictures because they do demonstrate the joy of covens.

I’ve had a week of attending uplifting events in honour of #IWD. It started with a lunchtime celebration of sorority @the_berkeley . I went to a breakfast with @clarewaightkeller to mark her new role as ambassador for @smartworkscharity . And finally I had the privilege of hosting @BazaarUK ’s own IWD gala, at @Corinthialondon , and featuring inspiring speakers including Lashana Lynch, the playwright Suzie Miller, the dancer Melissa Hamilton and the campaigning lawyer Charlotte Proudman - alongside all my fabulous colleagues @bazaaruk who make every day worthwhile.

In my editor’s letter this month, I reveal why I’ve abandoned my annual dreary pledge to declutter my shelves, and instead embraced my identity as a maximalist, statement skirt and all. I’ve been assisted in my quest by the March Film and Fashion issue of @bazaaruk , which is overflowing with ideas for irresistible fashion investments, thrilling books and unmissable cultural moments – including, of course, Tracey Emin’s major retrospective at Tate Modern, which we celebrate with a special collectors’ edition cover and an in-depth interview with the artist, conducted by her friend Maria Balshaw, the Tate’s outgoing director – while our cover star, the funny, forthright Rebecca Ferguson explains why this year will be her biggest yet too… 1: @rebecca_ferguson wears @balenciaga Photographer @erikmadiganheck Stylist @mirandaalmond Writer @brooke__theis Creative Director @zoyakaye Fashion Director @avrilmair Entertainment Editor @olivia__blair Photography Director @jeslucy Hair stylist @shonju Make-up artist Emma Lovell Manicurist @rebeccajadewilson Set design @lottielawtondesign Stylist assistants @hadyaa_ Photo assistants @lukeb @wilbertlati Production assistants - @theleilalife @laraiqbalgilling 2: Collectors’ edition cover for ‘Tracey Emin: A Second Life’, exclusively @tate
