Anne-Marie starts every day with peanut butter on toast
Daily Beauty Rituals: The very good pop star tells us how to keep our skin looking “free and healthy”. It starts with peanut butter. Don’t spread it around.

There’s nothing polite about Anne-Marie’s new album Unhealthy. As it rattles through 16 tracks with cheerful titles such as Sucks to Be You, Trainwreck and Grudge, it becomes clear the British pop star has firmly moved on from the vulnerability of 2021’s Therapy.
Anne-Marie’s still unfiltered, sure, but it seems like she gives less of a fuck. “Baby, it’s so last year, being a sad bitch,” she sings on, er, Sad Bitch, while previous single Psycho delivers an Aitch-assisted flip of Mambo No. 5.
Then there’s the album’s title track, which features Shania Twain (!) and comes complete with a wild west music video that sees the country legend riding in on a horse to save Anne-Marie from a grumpy sheriff.
“It was a dream,” says Anne-Marie of teaming up with Twain. “A legend on my song! She’s so hard working and up for anything.”
The who-cares attitude of the album has filtered into her visuals, too, namely Unhealthy’s album cover, which features a barefaced Anne-Marie pressing her nose against a shower door. Squished features aside, it’s a pretty common look for the pop star. While she’s all about the “sparkle and jewels” on stage, when it comes to her beauty routine, less is more.
“Comfort is key,” she says. “I want my skin to be free and healthy.” Smushing your face against a panel glass should do the trick, eh?
