From shooting guns in Mission: Impossible films to appearing in a new West End production of Shakespeare, the actor has proved there’s nothing she can’t do. But, she says, there are now a few things she won’tBefore meeting Hayley Atwell, I am shown to an empty dressing room down the corridor from where she is rehearsing in London for her upcoming role as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare’s comic tale of love and deception. The room is empty save for a jug of water, some makeup and hairdressing equipment and, on the floor, a wonderfully garish pair of red patent leather platform shoes.Atwell will be wearing them as Beatrice, who she plays opposite Tom Hiddleston’s Benedick. “They’re my dancing shoes,” she says when she arrives. “Every morning at 11 the shoes go on and we dance [as part of rehearsal for the show]. It’s expressive, it’s modern but not at all gimmicky.” It turns out dancing in front of an audience is a first for her. Is she out of her comfort zone? “Actual...

9 hours ago A Complete Unknown: how charity shop and Etsy finds completed iconic Dylan look

Film’s costume designer explains how a scarf made from a blanket and some custom-made Levi’s formed key part of Timothée Chalamet’s wardrobeIt’s as central to Bob Dylan as a harmonica – it is, of course, a scarf, Dylan’s preferred accessory, and one that has become a go-to for Timothée Chalamet, who has been wearing them constantly since filming the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. But the brown, bedraggled scarf scrunched around his neck at the beginning of the film, as a young and carefree Dylan, isn’t quite what it seems. According to costume designer Arianne Phillips, the well-worn shawl was a last-minute fix. “We had a hard time making [our original scarf] look authentically raggedy,” she says. “So that was actually a piece of blanket that we found at a charity shop. That was very last-minute – we did everything on the spot, leading up to the final moments where Timmy was walking on set, to give it that aged look.”Otherwise it’s Dylan’s trademark denim, boots and hair that unif...

12 hours ago Return of Bridget Jones taps into 90s trend as gen Z looks to ‘simpler’ time

It’s not just the middle-aged who are nostalgic for the Britpop decade, when ‘everything seemed a bit more fun’Almost three decades after Bridget Jones first appeared in a whirl of chardonnay, big knickers and body insecurity, she’s back for her fourth appearance on screen. In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, out in cinemas this month, the eponymous character is no longer a klutzy thirtysomething singleton obsessed with finding a husband, but a klutzy middle-aged widow – sadder, perhaps, but no less of a comic disaster, and still hoping for a boyfriend, or at least a shag.If the movie, as seems likely, follows its three predecessors to huge box office success, that will not just be thanks to an audience of now middle-aged women. Bridget’s creator, Helen Fielding, said recently that at her book signings “half the audience are gen Zs”. “I’m really happy when 18-year-olds and 20-year-olds talk to me about it and say that they find it comforting to laugh at these things.” Continue read...

Forget tatty cast-offs – the secondhand marketplace is now the first port of call for the savvy shopperThe rise of secondhand fashion is an enormously cheering thing, and in a world not currently over-blessed with hugely cheering things, it is worth taking a moment to celebrate.In a short space of time, the pre-loved fashion economy has gone from being niche – vintage stores full of antique silk dresses at the top end, jumble sale tat at the other, not much in the middle – to a viable way to source every part of your wardrobe. The marketplace of new-to-you clothes, rather than new-to-the-world clothes, is now an aspirational, respectable, efficient, affordable place to shop. Not just for the pieces that have always been associated with secondhand (tea dresses for retro dressers, rare jeans for denim nerds) but for straight-down-the-middle mainstream wardrobe stuff.
