FISHNET tights and feather trimmings, rouged lips and cropped curls. Welcome to the glitz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties 2.0. The Golden Globes felt more like The Great Gatsby given the period razzle-dazzle on show from its stars. First there were the dresses . The Great’s Elle Fanning and The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy wore silk slip dresses. Actress and singer Andra Day, and Ozark’s Julia Garner, plumped for plunging necks and drop waistlines. Mad Men’s January Jones, with bold red lips, wore a floor-length fringe frock, while Rosamund Pike wore a fantastic red dress designed by fellow Brit Molly Goddard. Then there were the hairstyles. The Crown’s Emma Corrin sported a slicked-back Eton crop while actresses Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins and Margot Robbie styled grown-out lockdown dos into side partings with glamorous retro waves. Just as the Jazz Age followed the horrors of world war and millions of deaths in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, … [Read more...] about The Roaring 20s are back so here are the best high-street buys to get the look

BT chief Jansen gave board ultimatum over chairman’s future
Philip Jansen, the chief executive of BT Group, gave boardroom colleagues an ultimatum over his own future that led to the departure this week of the company's chairman, Jan du Plessis. Sky News has learnt that Mr Jansen told fellow directors of the telecoms giant over a period of several months that he had become frustrated with the speed at which BT was taking key strategic decisions. The BT chief, who joined in 2019, indicated that he was prepared to resign unless Mr du Plessis was replaced by a chairman who could accelerate the pace of change at the former state monopoly, according to several people close to the company. Mr du Plessis, one of the most experienced chairmen in corporate Britain, said on Monday that he would leave once a successor was identified.

James Arthur lands his first acting role in upcoming film after taking secret lessons during lockdown
JAMES ARTHUR has spent the last eight years dominating the charts – but in 2021 he’s planning to take over the box office too. The British singer-songwriter has revealed he has landed his first acting role in an upcoming film after taking secret acting lessons and auditioning in lockdown. In an exclusive interview, he said: “There’s actually a couple of really exciting projects that I’m involved in and we’re trying to get up and running in terms of my acting. There’s going to be some acting stuff coming up. “I’ve done a few lessons and shot a few casting videos and I’m choosing between a couple of agents at the moment.” James stayed tight-lipped on details of the production, but when asked if shooting would begin this year, he teased: “I think there’s a really good chance that it will, yeah. It’s a film. Actually, film and TV, because there are two things going on. “There’s a really interesting idea we’ve got for a TV show.

Lidl has launched an air styler for £12 – and it’s a dupe of this £60 Revamp version
LIDL has launched a brand new hair styling wand for a little over a tenner - and it’s a dupe of some pricier versions on the market. The supermarket has expanded its personal grooming range with the Multi-Function Hot Air Styler, which costs just £11.99. The tool comes with six separate attachments, including a curling iron, double sided-brush, a concentrated nozzle and a ‘vented’ brush. Lidl said it’s “perfect for experimenting with different hairstyles or drying and styling your hair in one step”. As well as two heat settings, it also features a ‘cool shot’ to set your hairstyle, perfect for if you're in a rush. And comes with a handy storage bag so you never lose any of the attachments, and we all know how annoying that can be. And the best part? It comes with a chic pink handle, so it will look good in your bathroom, or on your bedroom floor. The tool, part of Lidl’s new home-spa range, lands in-store today, but you’d better be quick to snap it up as it’s a … [Read more...] about Lidl has launched an air styler for £12 – and it’s a dupe of this £60 Revamp version
Coronavirus: Australia wants EU to ‘review’ Italy’s vaccine block
Australia's prime minister on Friday said he "understands" why Italy blocked the planned export of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine . Nevertheless, Australia asked the European Commission on Friday to review the decision. Italy, backed by the European Union's executive arm, used export controls to stop around 250,000 doses leaving for Australia earlier this week, after the drug manufacturer failed to fulfill its European Union order. "Australia has raised the issue with the European Commission through multiple channels," Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt told reporters on Friday.
