The 2024 Bazaar At Work Summit in partnership with @samsunguk Galaxy Ring – our seventh annual event dedicated to ambitious professional women – took place this week in the majestic @kimptonfitzroy in Bloomsbury. Guests gathered for a full day of inspiring interviews, immersive masterclasses and thought-provoking panel discussions on issues pertinent to 21st-century working life. From Elizabeth Hurley’s witty reflections on navigating the media landscape in the Nineties to a rousing keynote speech from Nasa’s head of science Dr Nicola Fox, it was an invigorating day full of brilliant insights to take into the working year ahead.

The annual Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year awards took place in Claridge’s last night, with a host of talented individuals across a number of fields being celebrated for their work. #VictoriaBeckham was among those honoured at the star-studded ceremony as our Entrepreneur of the Year – with her award presented to her by none other than her daughter, Harper. Overcoming her nerves to speak in front of the dinner guests, the 13-year-old said: “The winner is someone I have always looked up to. She’s built an incredible business from the ground up and has showed me the value of working hard, dreaming big and setting my standards. “She’s taught me so much about what it takes to succeed. But above all else she’s taught me to always be kind and, even though she has a million things to do, she rarely misses school.” Read more at the link in our bio, and watch the video above.

Curating a shoe collection that will last you through the year can be tricky. Will this season’s trending shoe translate into the next? Should you stick with neutral colours or make a bold statement with brighter shades? Which heel height balances practicality with style? That’s where the knee-high boot holds firm as one of the best investments you can make. Using your knee-high boots as the starting point for your look can open up a plethora of styling options, so whether you’re looking for everyday outfits appropriate for the office or need inspiration for refined date-night dressing, find our favourite pairs for every season at the link in our bio.

This new year we’re more eager than ever to pop the champagne. But are you familiar with the finer points of drinking sparkling wine? As Oscar Wilde said, “pleasure without champagne is purely artificial”, but how should you consume this most celebratory of drinks – and, most importantly, which bottle is truly the best? You might know how to pour a glass elegantly, or which brands you prefer to gravitate towards, but what does the modern etiquette of champagne drinking look like? We spoke to Daniel Brennan, brand director at @champagnelaurentperrier, who reveals the modern rules, at the link in our bio.

The Queen of Spain’s relatable style is the gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday, the royal attended the closing of the 17th International Seminar on Language and Journalism in San Millan de la Cogolla, Spain. For the daytime engagement, she dressed down a suit with the ultimate versatile shoe: the loafer. In the past couple of years, the timeless shoe has quickly taken over the wardrobes of fashion girls everywhere, and now, it even has the Spanish royal seal of approval.

“I grew up listening to his music and being obsessed with his record artwork,” #AlisonMosshart tells us, while sitting in front of one of her favourite pieces of art – a painting named ‘Untitled #13’ by the American musician and visual artist #DonVanVliet. “I first discovered that [Van Vliet] was a painter when I was about 18 years old in the recording studio. I remember finding this gigantic book of his paintings and just disappearing into it for weeks.” Mosshart is one of six trailblazing women who featured in the 2024 issue of #BazaarArt – alongside #BiancaJagger and #GoldaRosheuvel – photographed in front of artworks that profoundly resonate with them.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have released their annual Christmas card, and this year, it’s a family affair. As well as featuring photos from the couple’s numerous engagements and charity endeavours, this year’s festive offering also features the pair’s children. Archie and Lilibet make a rare appearance in the card, with one photo showing the two children running toward their parents at what appears to be their Montecito, California, home.

“It was my life-changing role,” #SophieTurner tells us. “I learnt everything on the job on ‘Game of Thrones’, which is amazing but devastating all at once because everyone essentially got to see me learn how to act, which is not great.” For our latest episode of ‘How I Got Here’ we sat down with the actress to discuss being motivated by her peers, her most rewarding role – and how, in spite of all her success, she still doesn’t feel like she’s ‘made it’.

Full of vampiric glamour, the ‘Nosferatu’ press tour is proving to be one to watch for fashion fans. This weekend, #LilyRoseDepp and #EmmaCorrin brought modern interpretations of 1830s Transylvania to the Los Angeles premiere of the supernatural horror movie, a remake of the 1922 film by the same name. Corrin wore a custom off-the-shoulder @miumiu dress. The actor is known for their bold style, and didn’t disappoint in the black, body-skimming number. The sheer ensemble was embellished with black sequins at the neckline, and underneath, showed off a black bodysuit with numerous cutouts. Depp, for her part, channeled her inner leading lady in a romantic vintage look from @chanelofficial’s autumn/winter 1995 couture collection. She slipped into the grey evening dress with delicate silver embellishments along the neckline and an empire waist, wearing a matching sleeveless overlay for an additional flourish.

“I’m obsessed with the idea of random events suddenly changing the course of your life. It makes you think, ‘What’s the point if a freak accident can happen twice, even when you’ve done everything right?’ But it also makes you realise there are things you can’t predict – anything can happen. That’s sort of freeing.” A competitor with unstoppable drive, the heptathlete #KatarinaJohnsonThompson overcame setbacks to find her silver medal-winning moment of glory at this summer’s Olympics – forever securing her spot in Team GB’s hall of fame. And she’s still got gold in her sights. Read the interview at the link in our bio.
