Roksanda's wet look hair is trending at London Fashion Week
While tight, slick back buns were big in 2024, this year seems to prioritise a more pared-back approach, with loose pony tails and pushed back hair gracing the fashion week runways.
'The inspiration for this look was a British sculptor called Phyllida Barlow,' explains Authentic Beauty Concept stylist Anna Cofone, who designed the hair style.
'This semi-looped ponytail was intended to mimic this idea of a sculpture.'
'There's this dual texture approach to the hair. We've go this gelled, pushed back shape using the Cosmic Blowdry Jelly and then a more broken up texture using the Glow Spray Serum to really saturate the hair.'
Wet look hair has long been leading the curve, with gels, creams and leave-in hair masks becoming commonplace in daily hair routines.
Another aspect Cofone prioritised was less heat, another trending attribute in current haircare, using simply only a hairdryer to set the gel before the models took to the runway.
Part of this trending look was actually down to last-minute changes, with Anna Cofone noting, ' Roksanda had these big shapes around the neck, meaning where we originally had most of the girls in the looped ponytail, they realised that wouldn't work. So we changed that and brought it into a really beautiful low ponytail.'
While looking undoubtedly cool in its own right, the hair of course paired perfectly with Roksanda's sophisticated and sculptural silhouettes.
This pushed back, dual-texture look is set to be the more cool and casual evolution of 2024's slicked high pony.

Why Harvey is the forgotten victim of his mother's feud with Peter Andre: While all eyes have been on Princess, Katie Price's disabled son, 23, is the one who's really suffered
While all eyes have been on Princess Andre and her relationship with her parents, thanks to her new ITV show, there is one member of the clan whose suffering due to Katie and Peter's feud can't be overlooked. When Katie and Peter met in the Australian jungle in 2004, he not only went on to become her husband, but also quickly took on the role of stepfather to her disabled son, Harvey, who was two-years-old when the couple fell in love. Having a father figure for her son was particularly poignant for Katie after her ex-boyfriend Dwight Yorke initially denied Harvey was his, and then had little to nothing to do with him. But while Peter declared that Katie's son had 'taught him to be a father' and Harvey called him 'Dad', when the couple's marriage broke down, this father-son relationship did not endure. Currently he is living in residential care in Southampton, miles away from Katie, after he had to leave another college that couldn't cater for his needs earlier this summer. It's believed that he no longer has a relationship with Peter. Harvey is blind, autistic, has septo-optic dysplasia, a learning disability and is one of the 2,000 people in the UK with Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder. Katie has raised awareness of her son's disabilities through her 2021 documentary Harvey And Me and multiple parliamentary inquiries about the online and racial abuse he has endured over the years. The mother-of-five even called for a new UK law - dubbed Harvey's Law - to be created to make online trolling a specific criminal offence, which received the backing of many MPs. He gripped the nation and went viral online after the then 13-year-old shocked viewers when he used the C-word during an interview live on This Morning in 2016, and ever since, Harvey's sweet humour and wit has garnered his own following with adored fans across social media. However, all eyes have been on his younger sister Princess, 18, in recent weeks, amid speculation of a feud between the teenager and her mother. But while Princess insists that she's 'best friends' with Katie as well as remaining close to her father Peter, it's Harvey who has lost out on having a father figure in his life. Estranged dad Dwight Yorke Katie and former Premier League footballer Dwight briefly had a romance in 2001 and broke up soon after Katie fell pregnant with Harvey. When Katie first fell pregnant with Harvey, Dwight denied he was the father until a DNA test proved his paternity. In September 2023, Katie lashed out at Yorke in a podcast for the way he behaved when she welcomed their son Harvey into the world. Discussing the moment she gave birth to Harvey in 2002, she said: 'Dwight turned up at the last minute but he didn't want to come in the room or cut the cord so dad did it, he cut the cord.' Katie continued: 'And anyway I remember Dwight saying "oh there's a bruise" and I thought 'don't insult me.' 'That was the last time I sort of saw Dwight, I didn't see him many times after that.' Amazingly, Katie's mother Amy revealed 'womaniser' Dwight is her favourite of her daughter's former partners. She made the surprising admission in her autobiography, The Last Word, while recounting Katie's ill-fated relationship with the footballer. An extract from her book read: 'When Kate told me she was dating Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke, my heart sank. He had a reputation as a womaniser. 'But of all the men Kate has dated in her life, Dwight will – perhaps surprisingly – always be my favourite because he gifted us this incredible child.' Last year, Katie revealed the Man United legend has only seen his son Harvey nine times in his life. Describing the moment she found out her son was blind, she said: 'I remember sitting there with my mum and he [the professor] was getting all his stuff out looking in [Harvey's] eyes and suddenly he just went as blatant as this - "yeah, he's blind." 'We just sat there, like right. And that was it. We just left the room. There was no, oh we could give you advice or there's these people you want to talk to. 'We walked out like is that it, he's blind. Now what? We've been left in limbo... on the way home my mum was really upset and I just couldn't believe he was really blind.' Asked how many times Dwight has seen Harvey, Katie responded: 'I think he's seen Harvey about nine times in his life.' She added that 'I don't think he liked it that I was with Pete [Andre] and claimed: 'I don't know whether it's because he couldn't have me or Harv, to this day I don't know. 'I've tried to send him pictures of Harvey on Instagram, Harvey playing the piano, he just ignores everything. He doesn't want to know. But the door is always open, always.' Asked why, she explained: 'I don't know, because I'm like that. Really I should say f*** off you a******* you don't deserve him you've not been part of it because I don't know I just think if he saw Harvey and how amazing he is, for him to be like "f***** hell I haven't seen my biological son". 'Any man can make a baby, but it takes a real man to be a dad in my eyes, but it's still his biological son and, I suppose, to prove him wrong because when he found out he was blind and all of this he was like he'll never play golf, "he'll never play football because of you." And I was like, it's not my fault.' A representative for Dwight Yorke declined to comment at the time. Peter Andre and Harvey's relationship When Peter and Katie married in 2005, he vowed to be a father figure to Harvey after Dwight chose to walk out of his life. Peter was even looking at 'adopting' Harvey, according to Katie's mother Amy which she writes in her memoir. He told Daily Mail in 2009: 'I have been a real father of Harvey and he calls me Daddy. I guess that sticks in Dwight's throat.' As years past following the couple's bitter split, Peter often posted messages for his birthday on social media. 'Happy birthday to a very special boy. Hope you like your prezzies', he wrote on X for his 15th birthday. For a while after their split, Pete's close-knit father-son bond with Harvey continued. He wrote in his New! magazine column in 2017: 'There have been a few times recently where he's been to my house and I've been to his. Harvey will always be special to me and I just want him to be happy. He's a great kid! 'He's such a good-hearted boy, I see him a bit more now, which is amazing. He's just the best, I love him. There's always room for Harvey at our house. 'I always saw him as my own. There's a special place in my heart for him - he's very important to me and he's always welcome.' But one day these messages stopped and Peter brutally cut ties with Harvey, despite once seeing him as a son. In a rant years later, Katie hit out at all the men who left Harvey's life throughout the years in an emotional post. She wrote on X at the time: 'When you divorce, you have to share the kids. But with Harvey, there's no one. Well, look, Dwight don't want to know. Someone else doesn't see him anymore. He's just got me, you know?' In her 2017 book, Katie Price: Harvey and Me, the former glamour star heartbreakingly delved into Pete and Harvey's relationship. She wrote: 'The split from Pete really upset Harvey. It must have been frustrating for him at the time because he couldn't express how he felt. But now he can and he remembers a lot more than you'd think. It's really sad.' She continued: 'I began to notice a change in Harvey, I'd say things like, "Do you want to go see Daddy Peter today?" and he'd shout, "No!" So then I'd be like, "But he has a cake waiting for you". But he wasn't interested and he'd start kicking off, it's probably because the visits were starting to fizzle out and Harvey could sense that.' Katie's mother Amy also hit out at Peter in her memoir, The Last Word: The true and honest story of Katie Price. She told how although Peter may have had good intentions at heart, 'it was clear Pete didn't know how to cope with Harvey and his behaviour'. Harvey's Law Katie has forever championed and raised awareness for Harvey's disabilities with petitions, parliamentary committees and documentary's. His documentary, Katie Price: Harvey and Me, followed Harvey and his mum during a crucial year in his life when he turned 18. The BBC film documented the highs and lows of Harvey transitioning into adulthood and Katie's journey into researching for a specialist college that caters to Harvey's complex needs. Viewers tuning into the documentary were left extremely moved with one declaring they were 'crying my eyes out, while others praised Katie for being such a great mum to Harvey. The documentary saw Katie's difficult task in finding a residential college for Harvey which wasn't too far from home and in which her son felt comfortable in. It also detailed her anguish at learning to let her son go as she worried whether he could cope without her. At the forefront of everything was the emotional bond between Katie and Harvey, with the former glamour model clearly devoted to her son, while Harvey's adoration of his mother was hard to miss. Katie also appeared in front of MPs on multiple occasions to raise awareness for online abuse targeted towards her disabled son. She wanted a new UK law - dubbed 'Harvey's Law' - to be created to make online trolling a specific criminal offence. Katie had told MPs at the time: 'I know I'm here because it started off because Harvey and his disabilities but this isn't just for people with disabilities. 'It will help everybody. Like me or hate me, I'm here to protect others.' Price's petition in 2017 to criminalise trolling received over 220,000 signatures, and led to a parliamentary inquiry into online abuse. In February 2018, Katie said of Harvey: 'He is mocked for his colour, his size, I just think they think he is an easy target to pick on. But I'm his voice. I'm here and I'm going to protect him.' Where is Harvey now? Harvey now resides in Southampton in independent living after previously being forced to leave a £350,000-a-year residential college for being 'too difficult'. In February this year, Katie spoke about Harvey's new living arrangements and insisted it is only a 'temporary' move. Speaking on The Katie Price Show, she said: 'Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. 'He's got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it's the 'real world' Mr Harvey Price. 'I've found him a place in Southampton which is temporary. It's got five other adults in it. 'Then he moves to his place in October, which is Littlehampton, which will be nearer to me. He's going from college to independent living.' Katie previously opened up about Harvey's disabilities affecting his college arrangements. She said: 'Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they've changed management and said they won't be able to cater for Harv, because he's too difficult. 'So now I've got to find another placement for him... so yeah, more drama to deal with. We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn't go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown. 'Well it's stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.' Peter and Katie feud Harvey has decreasingly appeared on Katie's social media ever since she and Peter Andre reignited their feud. Peter shared a bombshell statement last week accusing her of peddling 'baseless' lies over the last 16 years. The rift appears to stem from Katie's banishment from her daughter Princess' 18th birthday party and on the nepo baby's ITV television series, The Princess Diaries. Katie claims her daughter's management - who also manage Peter, 52 - are those who have told her not to appear on the show. Katie famously fell madly in love with Peter on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and got married in September 2005 at Highclere Castle. They went on to have two children; son Junior and Princess before they famously split in 2009. Peter went on to marry doctor Emily MacDonagh, 36, in 2015 and they share three children together - Amelia, Theo and Arabella. Katie and Peter's daughter Princess previously opened up about the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series, sharing she felt she couldn't 'go to her dad' after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another. Peter shared his side of the story, explaining: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' He continued: 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' A spokesperson for Katie told Daily Mail: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 'This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' That same night, tensions escalated as Peter's manager shared an ominous post about feeling 'dangerously angry'. Claire Powell, the founder of The Can Group management agency, previously managed both Katie and Peter, arranging for the couple to make a big money reality show and helping to make them millions. When the couple split, Claire parted ways with Katie but continued to work alongside Peter - now also managing their children Princess and Junior as well as his new wife Emily. Three hours after Peter's bombshell statement was released, Claire took to Instagram to share a post of her own that read: 'The most dangerous anger comes from someone with a good heart. 'They hold it in, stay calm, and forgive, until one day, they can't anymore. Don't push a good person too far.' The Instagram post was accompanied by Ruelle's song Secrets and Lies. Claire and Katie have been locked in a feud for years - with Katie recently bringing it to light again when she claimed that Can management had banned her from appearing on Princess' new reality series. Katie previously filed legal documents against Peter, Claire and their former representatives. She claimed at the time they were responsible for a smear campaign against her. The glamour model also blamed Claire for the breakdown of her marriage in 2009, claiming Peter was 'married to two women' and had an affair with Claire during their relationship. She had to publicly apologise to both Peter and Claire after she was taken to court and lost the case. Following Peter's statement, Katie hit back and pleaded 'I'm trying to be the best I can' while noting she hasn't 'always been the best mother'. She wrote: 'Saints and sinners. As we know, in this life we are thought of as Saints and Sinners. I know I will always be a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fail into reliance on drugs and alcohol. 'At times I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness. I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, an an untrustworthy partner. I've self medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love. 'I've had many reasons - I was sexually abused when younger; I've had relationships that have been coercive; and my mental health issues - but I don't want to make excuses.' Following Peter's statement, Katie hit back and pleaded 'I'm trying to be the best I can' while noting she hasn't 'always been the best mother' Katie continued: 'I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me. Sometimes I tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. 'I've pulled myself out of suicidal spirals because I love my children and want to be there for them. 'I don't pretend to be perfect by any means - but I'm trying to be the best I can. Then there are the "Saints". Some are genuine and some have helped me. 'But some Saints are not who they would have you believe they are. They have a carefully managed image which must be exhausting to maintain. 'Some Saints are fake. They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain... or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint... 'As a Sinner - I sometimes get bored of these Saints. But maybe I should feel sorry for them, it must be such hard work having to pretend all the time. 'Anyway, all you Sinners keep your heads up and keep trying to be better. All you Saints, it's ok not to be perfect xxx'

The most popular dog names in Britain – so, is your pet's name on the list?
Do you have a Labrador named Rosie, or a Cocker Spaniel called Daisy? If so, you're not alone. Analysis of UK vet data reveals these are among the most popular names for the nation's favourite breeds. And researchers discovered a 'significant overlap' between pet and baby names, which could be indicative of how owners really do see themselves as 'parents'. Lars Andersen, Managing Director at who carried out the research, said: 'We've been monitoring baby name trends for over two decades, but until now we hadn't explored pet names. 'Our research shows an interesting trend of human–like names topping the charts, including Jack, Daisy, and Rosie. 'This suggests that Brits are increasingly viewing their pets as family members.' So, do these names look familiar to you? The team analysed data from more than 2,500 registered dogs in the UK. They sorted the most popular canine names by gender and breed. Labrador retriever Most common male name: Buddy Most common female name: Rosie 'With over a million in the UK, Labradors are the nation's favourite breed,' the team said. 'Known for being good–natured and social, it's perhaps no surprise that owners are most likely to name their Labrador companions Buddy. 'Other common names for the breed may well have been inspired by owners' human friends, with Rosie, Molly, Lottie, and Archie also ranking highly.' Cocker Spaniel Top male name: Bailey Top female name: Daisy The researchers discovered that Cocker Spaniels' friendly and playful temperament is reflected in their names. 'Bailey and Daisy top the list, with names ending in 'Y' often seen as approachable and easy–going,' they said. 'It appears Cocker owners are also fans of alliteration, with names beginning with 'C', including Coco, Chester, and Charlie, also common.' Jack Russell Terrier Top male name: Jack Top female name: Rosie The team discovered that Jack – taken directly from the name of the breed – is the most popular name for males of the breed, while Rosie is most popular for female pups. 'A long standing favourite in the UK, name experts found that Jack Russell owners favour short, snappy names, reflecting the breed's small stature and no–nonsense nature,' the team said. German Shepherd Top male name: Zeus Top female name: Luna This breed is best known for its protective nature and majestic appearance. So it's perhaps no surprise that Zeus and Luna took top spots in the analysis. The name Nebula, after the space dust which forms stars, also featured on the list. Dachshund Top male name: Monty Top female name: Daisy 'Small but mighty, Dachshunds are given big names to live up to with owners opting for traditional, timeless names like Monty and Daisy,' the researchers said. 'Other favourites for beloved sausage dogs include Bella, Alfie, and Norman.' Other breeds The analysis also revealed that Max and Holly are the most popular names for Border Collies, Charlie and Bella placed first for English Springer Spaniels. Meanwhile Roxy and Sasha took top spot for Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Gizmo and Roxy came in first place for the Shih Tzu. 'Our analysis shows a significant overlap between pet and baby names,' the team said. 'The most common names for the English Springer Spaniel are Charlie and Bella, and the feisty Jack Russell is most frequently named Jack or Rosie – four names you're just as likely to hear at the park as you are the playground. 'This is no surprise given 50 per cent of dog owners consider their dog as their child and themselves as "dog parents". 'Interestingly, owners of German Shepherds are more daring with their name choices, with Zeus far less likely to crop up in the classroom. 'Similarly, with no babies born with the name Gizmo in the UK last year, we're fairly certain that one of our favourite names for the tiny Shih Tzu is unlikely to reach the top 10 of baby names anytime soon.' A genetic analysis of the world's oldest known dog remains revealed that dogs were domesticated in a single event by humans living in Eurasia, around 20,000 to 40,000 years ago. Dr Krishna Veeramah, an assistant professor in evolution at Stony Brook University, told the Daily Mail: 'The process of dog domestication would have been a very complex process, involving a number of generations where signature dog traits evolved gradually. 'The current hypothesis is that the domestication of dogs likely arose passively, with a population of wolves somewhere in the world living on the outskirts of hunter-gatherer camps feeding off refuse created by the humans. 'Those wolves that were tamer and less aggressive would have been more successful at this, and while the humans did not initially gain any kind of benefit from this process, over time they would have developed some kind of symbiotic [mutually beneficial] relationship with these animals, eventually evolving into the dogs we see today.'

The final book of the Shona Sandison trilogy has a downbeat air
Covid aside, the longest shadow the past is casting on Shona's present is the result of the Brexit referendum. As the book opens, the UK government has already announced its intention to bring in the Great British Freedom Act, which will 'taper down paid holidays, make sick pay optional, remove controls on food quality and privatise large parts of the health service'. Behind the scenes, a shadowy cabal intends to exploit the absence of EU regulations even further. Their plan, codenamed Grendel, is to pass a law undermining the British people's rights more extensively than anyone has previously dared – and, in a replay of the Council Tax, it's to be tested out in Scotland first. (Image: Polygon) As a journalist for the Shetland-based Buried Lede news agency, Shona unwittingly finds herself tasked with exposing the Grendel plot. Having just won an award at a London media ceremony, she's approached by a dodgy, plummy-voiced character named Reece Proctor, who points her in the direction of a scoop. Her destination turns out to be a sex shop, where in return for saying the password 'bondage' she is given a package containing vital information. Back in Edinburgh, Hector Stricken accidentally swaps bags with a drinking buddy, setting off a panic at Capacity and Resilience (Scotland), providing Shona with a new lead and putting his own life in danger. READ MORE Remotely directed by an anonymous whistleblower known as Moriah, and facing imminent death on several occasions, Shona tries to make her way undetected from a grisly discovery in a Holland Park townhouse up to a mansion called Stag Hall in Fife, stopping off to receive instructions from an artist making a memorial to Covid victims and to seek help from an off-grid hacker who is about to quit this 'doomed' country and take his family to Greenland. While this is all going on, in the East Neuk of Fife, a retired spy is waiting for the right moment to spring into action. Grieving for his dead son, recovering from a breakdown and contemplating the violence and 'meaninglessness' of his career in the security services, he's nevertheless psyching himself up to go down that murderous path one more time, at the nearby Stag Hall. The final book of the Shona Sandison trilogy has a downbeat air that's even more prominent than the usual cloak-and-dagger political thriller. Miller's characters seem exhausted, fatalistic, so worn down by the past decade or more that they've either abandoned their vocations and crossed over to the other side or have accepted that their resistance to powerful elites will count for nothing in the long run. It captures the sense of fatigue and powerlessness that pervades the country and underlines how much we need the decency and tenacity of the Shona Sandisons, who can still triumph against all the odds. Hopefully, this isn't, after all, the last we'll see of her.
