‘I’m not young, I’m not old, I’m golden’ She is the queen of reinvention, so it’s no surprise that Kylie Minogue is at it again as she celebrates turning 50 this week. While finalising plans for her birthday extravaganza, it was announced that her “bonkers” new film Swinging Safari will be shown at the Edinburgh International Film Festival next month. The Australian star is returning to acting, starring in the movie – shot in her homeland – alongside actor Guy Pearce, her former co-star in Neighbours , the TV soap that catapulted her to fame. And as she posted a series of photos of herself through the decades on social media last week in the run-up to her big day, she was clearly in a mood to reminisce. Speaking on…

She has asked her legions of fans if they’re …Ready for It? and Taylor Swift certainly was when she wowed the prestigious Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas last week. The singing superstar, 28, took home two of the top prizes – Top Female Artist and Top Selling Album (left) – to add to her existing haul of 21 Billboard wins. In her acceptance speech Taylor – who wore a pink Versace couture gown (right) that took 800 hours to make – referred obliquely to the controversy surrounding her recent hit album, Reputation. She sings in it about her celebrity feuds, including with fellow musicians Katy Perry and Kanye West. “Thank you for making me feel understood again,” Taylor told the screaming crowds at the ceremony. “I started writing songs…

When it comes to fitness goals, football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is in a league of his own. Enjoying a beach day in Ibiza before last weekend’s Uefa Champions League final against Liverpool, the Real Madrid captain displayed his trademark toned torso (above left) as he took a dip with girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez (above right). The couple were joined by Cristiano’s seven-year-old son Cristiano Jnr; however there was no sign of their six-month-old daughter Alana Martina, or 11-month-old twins Eva and Mateo, who were born via a surrogate. Besides playing with Cristiano Jnr (below), the couple also managed some half-time relaxation, and were photographed cuddling in the warm waters of the Med. Quizzed recently about his infamous shirtless goal celebrations, Cristiano, 33, explained: “My girlfriend tells me I’m a hot guy.”…

Everyone loves a wedding – especially a royal one. And famous faces who failed to secure a place inside St George’s Chapel on Harry and Meghan’s big day celebrated by hosting their very own (I) dos – complete with bridal dress code. This Morning host Holly Willoughby (above left) had a trio of reasons to celebrate. “It’s the Royal wedding, my sister’s 40th and my mum’s 70th birthday party at the Willoughby residence today!!!!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a family photo (above right), while she posted a video of her waving a Union flag beside a white marquee. Also (wedding) dressed to impress were Amanda Holden (below left), who wrote on Instagram that she “woke up with butterflies in my tummy”, and Sugababes star Heidi Range (right). The latter…

‘She is just so genuine and warm and radiant’ It was fashion’s best-kept secret. As Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, stepped out onto the world stage to marry her Prince at Windsor Castle in a spectacular Givenchy wedding gown, not even the designer’s husband knew what the bride would be wearing. Speaking about the dress last week – a snowy-white, sculpted silk gown with a bateau neckline and cascading tulle veil – Clare Waight Keller, the first female artistic director of Givenchy, said she had kept the secret for five months, not even telling her American architect husband Philip Keller or three children that she’d won the job of a lifetime. They found out, she said: “Literally on the morning. It really was a secret.” Plenty of names…

As royalty and Hollywood heavyweights flocked to Windsor Castle to watch Prince Harry marry Meghan Markle last week, the world was treated to a parade of fashion triumphs. To find out who was the best-dressed wedding guest in the eyes of HELLO! readers, we carried out an exclusive online poll. After thousands of votes, Lady Kitty Spencer, the niece of Princess Diana, was crowned the belle of the ball at her cousin Prince Harry’s nuptials. Beating stiff competition from the likes of Amal Clooney and the Duchess of Cambridge, Lady Kitty emerged as the firm favourite thanks to an exquisite hand-painted forest-green dress by Dolce & Gabbana, the label she made her modelling debut with in 2017. The show-stopping frock featured a flattering square neckline and a skirt emblazoned with…

‘As the bidding started I realised Brad Pitt was trying to buy me… sadly, he was outbid and it didn’t work out’ Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke (left) conquers all at a charity auction ‘It’s a habit. It’s a lovely habit. It’s one of the few I haven’t given up. It’s a joy to play with these guys, you know’ Keith Richards is still hooked on playing with the Rolling Stones ‘It was not only beautiful, moving, exquisite, fun and real but also very important. Because inclusivity, acceptance and change is love in action’ Comedienne Miranda Hart was a serious fan of the royal wedding ‘In my relationships, I tend to be best friends. You can’t annihilate the past so you might as well celebrate it’ Elizabeth Hurley is…

In the South London home that Rachel Shenton shares with her fiancé Chris Overton, a couple of distinctive golden statuettes are being put to good use. “We’ve got one Oscar each so there are two in the lounge,” says the actress and screenwriter. “We live in a small apartment so the only place they can really go is on the bookshelf. We’ve got them as bookends.” At least they’re not in the loo. “I know! People keep telling us that, but we’d never put them there,” she says, horrified. It has been a year of firsts for the former Hollyoaks actress who, earlier this year, won her first Oscar for her first screenplay. The Silent Child , about a profoundly deaf four-year-old – in which Rachel also co-starred – picked…

Liverpool-born model Elle Clancy is following in the footsteps of her older sister Abbey as she models for Debenhams, becoming the face of the new Faith swimwear collection, which lauches this week. We catch up with the 20-year-old to talk summer plans, holiday style and how she maintains that beach body. Elle, how does it feel to be the face of the new Faith at Debenhams swimwear collection? “Debenhams is an iconic brand and I’m excited to be part of the family. Their new Faith range looks incredible and I’m so happy to be the face of it. I can’t wait to wear it and see other people wearing it – it will be so surreal.” Who would you most like to see wearing the new collection? “It’s really versatile…

Sophie, your cookbooks Chef on a Diet , Cook Yourself Thin and now Baking Without Sugar are very much a result of your own personal story. Can you tell us about your dieting history and how you have used your experience as a chef to help others? “I love food – it’s my career, but also my passion. And my social life revolves around it too. Obviously, over time this has affected my weight, so I am always trying to work out how I can eat as much good food as possible without gaining too much and whilst keeping healthy. I don’t believe in dieting per se, but I know we can use food to make us feel…

Just 48 hours after she hosted 600 guests at Windsor Castle to celebrate the wedding of the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Queen looked full of the joys of spring as she arrived at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show with members of her family for a special preview day. Smiling broadly as she took in the fragrant scene, Her Majesty was joined by the Duke of York and his daughter Princess Beatrice, the Princess Royal, the Countess of Wessex, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra. Wearing a pink coat by Stewart Parvin and a silk floral print dress, she was welcomed to the Royal Hospital Chelsea by Sir Nicholas Bacon, president of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), and Sue…

She has impeccable taste, so it’s fitting that fashion designer Victoria Beckham should collaborate with one of London’s most illustrious restaurants for her latest venture. A natural at knowing how to make an entrance, the 44-year-old mum of four has teamed up with celebrity favourite Scott’s to give its frontage on Mayfair’s Mount Street a chic and sophisticated makeover. Style-savvy friends including Tamara Beckwith (above left) and Lilly Becker (above right) joined the former Spice Girl last week for an exclusive breakfast and the unveiling of The Scott’s x Victoria Beckham terrace (right). They also got to sample their Posh pal’s pre-autumn/winter 2018 collection – Victoria changed into one of the outfits (left) – courtesy of an intimate trunk show. Created with floral designer Flora Starkey, the terrace was inspired…

Proving you can never have too much away kit, the Rooneys topped the table of Premier League packers when they arrived for their break in Barbados last week with a whopping ten suitcases (below right). Regular visitors to the Caribbean island, where they own a holiday home, Wayne and Coleen were happy to blow their baggage allowance to ensure they had everything they needed for a relaxing week off with sons Kai, eight, Klay, who celebrated his fifth birthday in Barbados, Kit, two, and three-and-a-half-month-old Cass (all below with Mum and Dad). It was their first holiday together since relations between them had been strained by Wayne’s drink-driving charge last year. And understandably keen to make the most of it, the former England captain was photographed taking Kai for a…

THANDIE’S SOLO TRIP In a ravishing red dress by Rodarte, Thandie Newton (right) steals the show at a special screening of Solo: A Star Wars Story held in London last week. The British actress, 45, plays a smuggler called Val in the eagerly awaited prequel. It is also a role that has made it into the history books. “I am the first dark-skinned woman in a lead role in the Star Wars legacy, which is both great, that it is finally a correction, and awful, that it’s taken this long,” Thandie said last week. The much anticipated blockbuster was screened at BFI Southbank. CATHERINE GETS LACY Looking stylish in a black lace dress that flattered her figure to perfection, Catherine Zeta-Jones (left)…

The Duchess of Sussex’s dress for the evening reception, held at Frogmore House in Windsor Home Park, had the same signature style as her wedding gown: simple, sleek and elegant, but with a sexy twist. Created by British designer Stella McCartney, the halterneck fishtail silk-crepe gown was daringly backless and both figure-hugging and sophisticated, adding a wow factor to her bridal wardrobe. “I am so proud and honoured to have been chosen by the Duchess of Sussex to make her evening gown and represent British design,” Stella tweeted. “It has truly been one of the most humbling moments of my career. Congratulations Harry and Meghan!” She also posted a short animation of the gown being designed. With her commitment to sustainable fashion –an issue close to Meghan’s heart – Stella,…

While the country was gripped with wedding fever last week as Prince Harry married Meghan Markle, Michelle Keegan was remembering her own big day in May three years ago. “I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone,” she tells HELLO! , referring to married life with presenter husband Mark Wright, who works in Los Angeles on NBC show Extra . “I still feel like I got married seven months ago.” It was thanks to the royal wedding that they were both in the same country at the same time, as Mark had flown back to the UK to commentate on the event. “I love the fairytale of it all. Meghan and Harry seem so genuinely in love. I’m so happy for them,” says Michelle, whose own marital arrangements would challenge many…

Zafar and Natalie Rushdie and Natasha Archer, the Duchess of Cambridge’s stylist, were…

It’s no secret that Scotland holds a special place in Sir Rod Stewart’s heart, and for his recent meeting with Pope Francis, the singer showed a particular fondness for paisley. Attending a Papal Mass in St Peter’s Square last week with his wife Penny Lancaster – whom he married in Italy in 2007 – the rocker stood out in a swirly print Etro suit, lavishly patterned shirt and Gucci slippers (left). Taking a break from his tour of Canada and the US, Sir Rod joined the faithful in the Vatican City for what Lady Stewart described on Instagram as an “unforgettable morning”. Posting photos, including one in which all three clasp hands (above), she wrote: “The heavens open and so did the umbrellas and our hearts. The Pope asked us…

It wasn’t just the roses that were blooming when Eva Longoria Bastón shared a photo of her second anniversary bouquet on Instagram last week. Threatening to overshadow the flowers (below), the heavily pregnant star – expecting her first child with husband José “Pepe” Bastón any day – could not stem her joy. “My wonderful husband sent me these gorgeous flowers and I’m giving him a baby,” she wrote. “I’m the luckiest woman in the world to have a husband like Pepe and I pray we have 50 more years of many blessings, much laughter and endless happiness.” The couple married in Mexico, three years after being introduced by a mutual friend, in a wedding exclusively covered by HELLO! (below). Snapped in Beverly Hills days after their anniversary (left), they looked…

‘The last thing we said to each other was, “We’ll see you on the other side”’ MAKE-UP ARTIST DANIEL MARTIN She may now be a member of the royal family but some things never change. At least that’s what the Duchess of Sussex told long-time friend Daniel Martin, the makeup artist who created her natural, understated wedding day look. He wondered what he should call his old pal after her wedding. “I asked her that. Do I bow to you? I don’t want to disrespect you, but I’ve known you for almost ten years,’” he told US magazine People. “She started laughing and said: I’m always going to be Meg.’” Daniel, who is based in New York and whose clients have included actresses Jessica Alba and Elizabeth Moss, was one…

It is a picture of pure, unadulterated joy. Sitting on the steps of Windsor Castle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex couldn’t look more in love as they pose for an official portrait after their joyful wedding. The striking black and white image, taken by Alexi Lubomirski, shows Prince Harry smiling broadly into the camera, his hand gently touching the arm of his new wife Meghan, who sits between his legs on the East Terrace. Her smiling face is in profile, one arm resting on his knee as she holds her wedding bouquet in her right hand. It’s a composition that demonstrates their ease and intimacy, and possibly even their relief that the formalities of the ceremony are over, it’s gone without a hitch, and they can now enjoy the…

‘I’ve watched [Prince] Harry grow from a young officer into a great officer. I texted him updates throughout the cycle ride. It’s great to see him so happy and positive. It’s nice he’s found someone with whom he can share his passions’ Dean Stott was nearing the end of a 14,000-mile world-record-breaking charity bike ride in the US when an invitation to the royal wedding dropped onto his doormat in Scotland. The former special forces soldier, who has been friends with Prince Harry for 11 years, suddenly had a new goal in sight. Not only did he want to become the fastest person ever to cycle from Argentina to Alaska along the Pan-American Highway – looking to raise £1m for the Duke of Sussex’s Heads Together mental health initiative in…

A memorial service marking the anniversary of the terror attack at the Manchester Arena was held last week.
