We’re zooming into the new month with a Dior-clad Amy Adams, photographed by Jan Welters, on our cover. Flip straight to page 138 to read our unmissable interview with the newest incarnation of Lois Lane – a rare insight into the world of an ‘accidental A-lister’ – and see the Titian-haired beauty work it in dreamy creations from the ateliers of Lanvin, Burberry, Roksanda Ilincic and more.

In case it’s escaped your attention, summer has (finally) arrived and we bet we’re not the only ones whose thoughts have turned to holiday time. We’ve got you covered: from the coolest cultural happenings in Europe to what to pack to answers to the holiday beauty questions you’re too shy to ask, it’s all here. We’re even giving away a free Rodial fake tan started (not to mention 20% off further purchases) to help get the party started.

Not got plans yet? Take our travel quiz and discover your perfect destination. After all, as Katie Glass explains, a holiday really can change your life.

Speaking of which, we defy you not to be moved by Emma Forrest’s account of the dress – and the man who bought it for her – that irrevocably changed the path of hers.

Fashion-wise, we’ve got Charlotte Free showing pre-fall’s most wanted on a shoot we loved so much, we penned a love letter to her at the end, and edits on everything from shirt dresses to backpacks.

Add Street Style in New York, a peek inside Pamela Love’s wardrobe, a Doodle Notes page dedicated to The Most Awesome Girl In The World aka Jennifer Lawrence and your invitation to meet the legendary ELLE fashion team in denim heaven (read: Selfridges’ newly-opened, 26,000-square foot Denim Studio), and, well…

You can’t say fairer than that for your money, can you?
