‘Have you got everything?’ the King asks his daughters on the school run. ‘Are you absolutely, absolutely sure?’ Mornings in the Zarzuela Palace complex on the outskirts of Madrid are marked by a hustle and bustle familiar to anyone who has school-age children, with books and bags given last-minute checks and coats found. Meanwhile, the typical paraphernalia of family life lies in the hallway, including a stuffed bear dressed in a hooded jacket, who stands guard over the entrance. While previous generations might have delegated the care of their children to a team of efficient nannies, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain relish every minute that they can spend with their daughters, 12-year-old Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, ten. To celebrate his 50th birthday on 30 January, the…

‘If you’re going to sit together, what better night than tonight?’ They’ve kept their romance under wraps but at a star-studded gala ahead of the Grammy Awards, there was no doubting that Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are a couple very much in love. Gazing into each other’s eyes at the New York bash, the A-list pair appeared only too happy to finally have their relationship on show. Katie, 39, even got a shout-out from the night’s host, record producer Clive Davis, who shone the spotlight on the couple when he said to laughter: “If you’re going to sit together, what better night than tonight?”. Katie, who looked radiant in a floor-length scarlet dress and with a sleek bob, looked happy and at ease with Grammy-winner Jamie, as they spent…

First Beyoncé, then Serena Williams… Kirsten Dunst is the latest star mum-to-be to join the burgeoning trend for putting us in the picture about their pregnancy via a full-on fashion statement. After months of speculation that the actress, 35, is expecting her first child, Kirsten let her bump do the talking by appearing in US label Rodarte’s autumn/winter 2018 portrait series, entitled Women Who Inspire Us. In one photo, she wears an embroidered floral gown and an enigmatic smile, her hands cradling her stomach (right). The future is certainly blossoming for Kirsten and her man, former Breaking Bad star Jesse Plemons, 29 (above). The two met when they starred in hit TV series Fargo in 2015 and got together a year later. They confirmed their engagement in early 2017 and…

She has already shown she can cut it on the catwalk and Bella Hadid’s latest high-profile ad campaign is a real gem. The multi-faceted US model is the face of luxury goods label Bulgari’s new B.Zero1 range of jewellery and happily shared the news with her Instagram fans last week. Uploading a promo shot and the campaign video, Bella described herself as “so honored”, adding: “Literally jumping through hoops to get my hands on the B.Zero1.” Recruited for her appeal to millennials, Gigi’s little sister first teamed up with Bulgari last year to promote its accessories and the 21-year-old was among the VIP guests at the opening of the brand’s resort in Dubai in December. Now she joins fellow Bulgari ambassador Lily Aldridge (having her hair styled for the shoot,…

‘We have enjoyed a wonderful afternoon catching up and reminiscing’ It was the reunion fans had been longing to see. Last week, for the first time in six years, all five members of the Spice Girls were in the same room to discuss plans for the future. “Love my girls!!! So many kisses!!! X Exciting x,” wrote Victoria Beckham, 43, aka Posh Spice, on Instagram, having posted a picture of the women in Geri “Ginger” Horner’s living room. The photo, which also featured Melanie Chisholm, aka Sporty, Scary Spice Melanie Brown, and Emma “Baby” Bunton, was quickly shared by their 45-year-old hostess, although her shot also revealed a bottle of champagne and glasses. “Lovely seeing the girls #girlpower is alive and well,” she wrote. The women were spotted arriving…

PETRA ECCLESTONE Planning LA move after divorce Petra Ecclestone is planning to relocate to Los Angeles after last week being awarded custody of her children in a costly divorce from financier James Stunt. The 29-year-old daughter of ex-Formula 1 supremo Bernie has three children with the businessman: Lavinia, four, and twins James and Andrew, two. She heard the news at court in London last week, supported by her father, sister Tamara and niece Sofia. James, 36, was not present. Judge Gillian Brasse said the couple had agreed last year that Petra could relocate to LA with the children. Outside the court, Bernie said: “ I think it worked out as well as it should have done. They [the family] are all right. They will get on with their lives and…

FRESH START A recent survey found bad breath is a worry for more than 21 million Brits and many of us turn to mints to mask the problem. Trapped food particles can cause the smell, but the most common cause is a build-up of plaque on teeth. Brushing teeth twice a day and flossing is essential, but you can do more to keep breath fresh. Drink a glass of water first thing to wash away bacteria, eat a high-fibre breakfast – such as fruit – to increase saliva production and add yoghurt to neutralise bacteria. We also love Temple Spa’s All Mouth Breath Essence, £5 (from victoriahealth.com), which contains parsley and peppermint. Just a few drops of the concentrated formula on the tongue should do the trick. And parsley is…

Music’s most glamorous women said it with flowers at last week’s Grammy Awards. Lady Gaga set the tone in a show-stopping Armani Privé lace ball gown with a dramatic train that flared out as she posed on the red carpet in New York. Her hair braided with corset-style laces, the star, who is currently in the UK for a string of gigs, started her night with the stand-out fashion moment accessorised with two white rosebuds. Worn as a symbol of support for the Time’s Up movement against sexual harassment and abuse, it echoed the all-black dress code protest of last month’s Golden Globe Awards. Rita Ora, who channelled old-school glamour in Ralph & Russo, wore her white rose attached to the dramatic bodice, and said on the red carpet: “The…

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made a splash on holiday last week as she shared a rare photo of her and son Jack. Despite overcast skies the outlook was definitely Rosie for the model and designer, as she enjoyed a family break with fiancé Jason Statham, 50. “Sun shines no matter the weather with you baby,” she wrote on Instagram. Cradling seven month-old Jack in her arms and wearing a leopard print jumpsuit (left) it was easy to spot how much Rosie, 30, is enjoying motherhood. “It’s just been the most magical experience,” she has told Harper’s Bazaar. “Everything feels so special and sweet and wholesome and loving and then at the same time... life-changing. This is what I want to pour my heart into.” And her Hollywood hard man husband-to-be (right) is…

There was no question who would be Jennifer Lopez’s plus one when she attended the launch of the latest Guess campaign in Los Angeles last week. The singer and actress, who was announced as the face of the fashion brand last year, put in an ultra glamorous appearance with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez by her side (left and right). Instagramming a photo taken in her car en route to the event at Guess HQ, the 48-year-old described her form-fitting outfit with the caption: “Baby blue” and a dress emoji. However there is nothing blue about Jennifer right now. She and the former baseball star have been dating for a year and seem happier than ever, with Jennifer telling one reporter their relationship was “a very special thing”. J-Lo has also praised…

Life is largely coming up roses for Strictly Come Dancing star Mollie King, but there is one aspect that doesn’t quite have the sweet smell of success – her love life. For Valentine’s Day this year, “I’m going to get the girls round,” she tells us. “We’ll have a takeaway and put on a good chick flick.” And the 30-year-old singer, who has previously dated model David Gandy and former Lawson lead singer Andy Brown, confirms that her 14 February plans do not involve her Strictly dance partner AJ Pritchard. Mollie and the 22-year-old formed a close friendship on the show last year, which inevitably sparked talk of romance, and the Saturdays singer is still quashing relationship rumours. “You just have to laugh and carry on,” says Mollie, though she…

Princess Eugenie will marry Jack Brooksbank in October, her father the Duke of York’s office announced last week. A post on Prince Andrew’s Twitter feed said: “The marriage of Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie to Mr Jack Brooksbank will take place on 12th October 2018.” Speaking shortly after the couple’s engagement last month, the Duke said they had to consult the rest of the royal family before pinning down a date. “We’ve got to look at everybody’s diaries. It’s a bit more complicated than that,” he said. Eugenie, 27, and wine merchant and luxury drink brand ambassador Jack, 31, will marry at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will tie the knot on 19 May. When the couple’s engagement was announced and interviewers asked…

Since making her debut on the world’s stage as the future wife of our dashing Prince Harry, her warmth, charm, style and beauty have made Meghan Markle one of the nation’s favourite leading ladies. And last week the American former actress pulled off another winning performance when she teamed up with her husband-to-be for their first evening engagement as a couple. The pair, who will marry at Windsor Castle on 19 May, were at London’s Goldsmiths’ Hall for the second Endeavour Fund Awards, which recognise the achievements of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women who have taken part in remarkable sporting and adventure challenges over the last year. While her career in showbusiness has made Meghan at ease in the spotlight, the 36-year-old appeared keen to ensure that the…

To celebrate the 30th birthday of HELLO! , we are looking back at some of our best-loved covers. This week we revisit February 2012 when we honoured the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with a special celebration issue, which included new portraits and touching family tributes. Just over a decade earlier in 2001, our cover star was her smiling grandson, Prince William, looking ahead to his new life as a student (below, far left). We brought you double baby joy in February 2007 when rapper Sean “P Diddy” Combs and Kim Porter introduced their twin girls, D’Lila Star and Jessie James (below). Fast forward to February 2016 and love was all around for Kimberley Walsh (below middle). In our exclusive coverage, we took you inside the music star’s lavish wedding in Barbados…

He always said his love for Strictly Come Dancing was what saw him return year after year, but Brendan Cole’s time on the hit BBC1 show has finally come to an abrupt end. “I’ve always known this day would come,” said the 41-year-old dancer, speaking on ITV’s Lorraine last week. “The BBC haven’t renewed my contract… They’ve made an editorial decision to not have me back on the show. “I’m a little bit in shock at the moment. I’m quite emotional and a bit raw about it.” Close to tears, Brendan continued: “I would have preferred to have made the decision myself, but maybe I would never have made it because I love being on the show… I’ve asked this question many times of myself: When do I leave?’ But…

‘I’m very lucky that I met a man who is funny, witty, intelligent and sensitive’ Along with: “Is there going to be a new Sex and the City film?”, the question Sarah Jessica Parker is often asked is how she has stayed happily married for 20 years in an industry so rife with bitter break-ups. “I’m very lucky that I met a man who is funny, witty, intelligent and sensitive,” the 52-year-old mum of three says. She’s speaking about fellow actor Matthew Broderick, the “good catch” she wed in their home city of New York in May 1997 and with whom she raises son James, 15, and eight-year-old twin daughters Tabitha and Loretta. “Matthew is a philosopher with a great sense of humour who grew up in New York in…

Bella Hadid wore a traffic-stopping outfit when she stepped out for dinner in the Big Apple last week. The model sported a simple white vest, fashioned with an Orseund Iris corset, Nina Ricci belted check trousers and House of Fluff faux fur bomber jacket. Striking red Christian Louboutin pumps, large silver hoops and a delicate layered necklace completed her sartorial style. Lifestyle: SHOPPING • BEAUTY • WELLBEING • RECIPES • TRAVEL…

A red lip will never go out of fashion and for good reason – a wash of rouge updates your look instantly. It’s also very on-trend, with Helmut Lang, Temperley London and Naeem Khan all showcasing scarlet on their spring catwalks. However, a red lip is one of the hardest makeup looks to get right. The key, says celebrity make-up artist Wendy Rowe – whose A-list clients include Kate Moss and Sienna Miller – is to adopt a more relaxed approach. “A red lip no longer has to look flawless,” she says. “A lip liner is not a necessity – soften the edges with a cotton bud so it looks more effortless and authentic.” Also, adds Wendy, who has created a range of reds for La Bouche Rouge Paris, mix…

His wife famously nicknamed him Golden Balls and, 17 years after Victoria Beckham revealed the memorable moniker, it’s clear her husband David has not lost his Midas touch. Last week it was announced that the former England football captain, whose skills on the pitch and shrewd business dealings off it have helped net him and his wife a combined fortune of around £300million, has scored another winning goal by being awarded Miami’s first ever Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise. Confirming the news at a press conference in the Magic City four years after first setting the wheels of the plan in motion, a smartly suited and well-groomed David, who was joined by his son Brooklyn, 18, said: “I promised my son, who is here today, that I wouldn’t get emotional,…

She is many things to many people – glamorous Hollywood star, devoted mother of six and tireless humanitarian campaigner. Last week, Angelina Jolie was all three as she jetted from the Middle East to Paris to mix business with pleasure. The 42-year-old was joined in the French capital by her six children as they headed out to see the sights before their mum’s work meetings. Cutting a chic figure in a black Elie Saab cape coat with matching Ferragamo handbag and Zanotti heels, Angelina held hands with daughters Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old Vivienne, as Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13 and Knox, nine, walked alongside as they headed to the Louvre Museum. After the family outing, Angelina got down to business: an appointment with France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron at…

He called news of fiancée Sarah Richards’s pregnancy a “secret [that] has been so hard to keep”, but last week that secret was well and truly out when Aston Merrygold introduced his fans to baby son Grayson. Posting a photo of the newborn on Instagram (left), Aston wrote: “Grayson Jax Merrygold 30/01/2018 @sarahlou richards life is now complete.” Life continues to be Outta this World for the former JLS singer, 29, who impressed the public with his moves on Strictly Come Dancing last year and popped the question to Sarah (above, with her man) on Christmas Eve. He shared his latest high note with ex-bandmate Marvin Humes, who with wife Rochelle was one of the first to meet the new arrival. Posing with Grayson for an image posted on social…

Soprano Laura Wright will soon be putting her voice to another good use – cheering on the winners at Aintree Racecourse in Merseyside. “I absolutely love the Grand National,” says Laura, who will be reunited with Olympic hockey gold medallist and TV presenter Sam Quek and top jockey Katie Walsh in April to fulfil their roles as Ladies Day ambassadors for the Randox Health Grand National Festival. “I took any opportunity to ride when I was younger – I remember having the time of my life across the Suffolk fields where I grew up,” says Laura, one of the UK’s biggest-selling classical artists. “I remember watching the Grand National on the sofa with my mum, who competed at show jumping and dressage, and went on to judge horse shows. She…

According to a recent survey by Just For Men hair care, British men, aged 18 to 81, typically spend almost a year of their lives (that’s two hours a week) holed up in the bathroom.
