Miss Ireland Grainne Gallanagh celebrates top 20 at Miss Universe with a Domino’s
The blonde beauty was also named in the top five in Europe, with the overall crown going to Miss Philippines, Catriona Gray. Miss Universe Ireland owner and model Brittany Mason told the Diary that Grainne (24) had been “fantastic” throughout the competition and helped make history – this is the first time Ireland has enjoyed back-to-back finals on the international stage.

Male makeover: How I finally mastered the man bag
How To Dress Well is a series by The Daily Telegraph. Calling on a panel of experts and writers, it aims to give useful, no-nonsense solutions on what to wear to look good - whether for work, weekend, special occasion or down the pub. Here, Luke Mintz, 23, asks owner of East London fashion mecca, Goodhood, for a lesson in mastering the modern man bag.

But in the modern world, any man with an office job is expected to bring with him a terrifyingly high pile of laptops, cables, and amorphous phone chargers. Crucial to this task is a man bag. My personal choice? The humble rucksack.
