‘Alastair comes home from school and says, “Dad, let’s go!” I have a stretch and go play. If there’s a fountain of youth, it’s children’ ‘Aiden went on [stage] holding hands with his brother and did his own little performance. Rod said, “That’s great, thank you, boys, it’s time for bed,” but Aiden wouldn’t leave the stage’ With breathtaking views over the Los Angeles skyline, expansive landscaped gardens and a glistening pool, Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster’s residence is a haven of peace and tranquillity – until the youngest member of the family makes his boisterous presence felt. The home resonates with laughter as two-year-old Aiden charges through the estate’s opulently furnished rooms, giggling and calling after his statuesque mother. The smallest Stewart son is a cherubic, blond ball of…

Aristocratic guest showbusiness s Eloise Anson – a form the daughter of the l Lichfield, a cousin o married actor and Waymouth. The groom’s friend Lily Allen, now making a comeback with a new album after taking a break to look after her two infant girls, proudly watched the ceremony as her elder daughter, Ethel, nearly two, followed the bride down the aisle. “My baby girl is going to be a bridesmaid tomorrow,” she’d earlier revealed on Twitter. “Geez Louise. How did that happen? Feels like she hasn’t been walking that long.” Lily’s brother, Game of Thrones star Alfie Allen, arrived with his beautiful actress girlfriend Jaime Winstone and TV presenter George Lamb joined Bridesmaids star Chris O’Dowd in swelling the celebrity ranks at the ceremony, which took place at…

Offering his once-estranged daughter his arm to walk up the aisle, BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans’s paternal pride was in top gear as he took a central role in 26-year-old Jade Ward’s wedding last week (left). Car fanatic Chris, 47, drove Jade and her four bridesmaids to St Michael’s church in Ascot, Berkshire, in a vintage Aston Martin (above) and offered his pink Thunderbirds-style Rolls Royce – number plate FAB 1 – to take the bride and her new husband, car mechanic Callum Hewitt, away from the church (left). Jade, whose mum is Chris’s former girlfriend Alison Ward, could not have looked happier to be given away by her father, though the former Big Breakfast host, known for his cheeky humour, was uncharacteristically nervous, shaking slightly as he waited…

Art lovers at London’s National Portrait Gallery could be forgiven for doing a double take last week as famous subjects featured in a new exhibition of work by artist Jonathan Yeo turned up to see themselves in oils. Enjoying the launch party was Jonathan’s old friend Helena Bonham Carter, who gamely struck a pose – the same one captured by the artist – in front of her portrait (left). Also present were fellow artist (and subject) Grayson Perry and Laura Lopes, daughter of the Duchess of Cornwall. Jonathan himself attended with his wife, former actress Shebah Ronay (together above). The son of Tim Yeo MP, he discovered his love of a different type of canvassing in his 20s while recovering from Hodgkin’s disease and is best known for his portraits…

As part of a series of fundraising events to mark what would have been her 30th birthday and in aid of the foundation set up in her name, a new exhibition celebrating the life and talent of Amy Winehouse opened in North London last week. In For You I Was a Flame at the Proud Gallery, close to her former home in Camden, the singer goes back to black and white (and colour) in photographs depicting important moments in her career, which feature alongside graffiti left by fans (left) and paintings and drawings from her childhood. Attended by her mum Janis and dad Mitch (above left), the opening also launched the monthlong charity initiative Amys 30, a number of pop-up events in aid of the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was…

Talk about a star-studded finale. A-list celebrities rallied round to watch Rafael Nadal take on Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the climax of the US Open men’s singles, with everyone from Hollywood royalty to the real thing hitting the court at Flushing Meadows in New York. Among the familiar faces in the crowd were Jessica Alba (above middle) and Jessica Biel and her husband Justin Timberlake (left), who later tweeted: “Congrats to Rafael Nadal! He threw it down tonight!” Meanwhile, Queen Sofia of Spain was among the first to congratulate her countryman after he received the coveted trophy (right).…

Afortnight in the South of France on a superyacht, complete with its own spa, stateof-the-art gym and private chef might sound like a dream holiday. But one might assume that this year’s jaunt aboard Slipstream, m, the luxurious, £300,000-a-week vessel that media mogul Simon Cowell charters each summer for himself and a select gathering of close friends, might not have been the most relaxed and carefree for The X Factor mentor and 1980s pop pin-up Sinitta. Last month’s vacation marked the first time she’d seen Simon – whom she dated on and off for the best part of two decades and whom she readily admits she has loved for most of her life – since he’d dropped the bombshell news that he was going to be a father. Furthermore, she’d…

‘I have a thing for Greggs sausage rolls. I don’t do posh bakeries, I do Greggs’ Billion Dollar Girl Tamara Ecclestone (left) doesn’t have expensive tastes when it comes to baked goods ‘Elvis may have left the building but Bob Geldof will have left the planet’ The Boomtown Rats frontman prepares to launch himself into space in 2015 and become the self-styled First Rock Astronaut ‘Pro: A lot of fancy designers will approach me to wear a beautiful, expensive gown of theirs. Con: Ain’t no way in hell I’m wearing a gown’ Ellen DeGeneres on hosting the 2014 Academy Awards ‘I’m afraid of the world running out of cheesecake’ Who Knew pop star Pink’s biggest fear ‘Michael exaggerated everything’ Geraldine Winner after the London mansion she shared with her late husband,…

ANGELINA JUGGLES WORK AND THE KIDS DOWN UNDER, WHILE BRAD GEARS UP FOR AN ACTION MOVIE IN ENGLAND In the large Jolie-Pitt household, juggling work and childcare must be quite a challenge, even if Brad and Angelina always make it look effortless. Last week, for example, saw the mum-of-six mix business and pleasure in Australia, having brought the children along on her trip to scout locations for Unbroken, her second film project as director. The Tomb Raider star looked unflappable as she shepherded five of the kids to Sydney’s aquarium and to a bowling alley, while Brad fulfilled engagements at the Toronto Film Festival, thousands of miles away. “Yeah, she’s got her hands full,” the pining dad told reporters, “I’m actually jealous!” From Canada, the actor flew to England, where…

‘This is actually our first evening out without George, so please excuse us if you see us nervously casting cheeky glances at our mobile phones to check all is well back home’ The Duchess of Cambridge made a dazzling return to the spotlight last Thursday night, accompanying her husband to a black tie awards ceremony on the day that the popular royal couple revealed their plans for the next exciting chapter in their lives. On sparkling form in a gorgeous £2,000 pale gold sequined evening dress by British designer Jenny Packham, which showcased her trim postpregnancy figure, the new royal mum, who was on her first official night out with her husband since the birth of their baby son Prince George seven weeks ago, looked utterly radiant as she arrived…

TV personality Julia Bradbury, 42, is co-presenter of BBC1’s Countryfile. Here, she salutes the Duke of Cambridge on his new conservation role and looks forward to the huge difference he will make ‘Prince William has taken on a huge responsibility – and his greatest challenge to date – to bring about the changes needed for wildlife to survive. Bringing together seven powerful conservation groups with him at the helm, he should be able to achieve more for wildlife preservation than ever before. I can understand why, as a new father, he would want to focus on leaving a solid legacy for his son. I’m the mother of a two-year-old son, Zeph, so I know how he feel s. But what William hopes to achieve is on a worldwide scale. He…

Celebrating an Emmy nomination and with a growing canon of star turns to his name, Benedict Cumberbatch is riding high. But the 37-year-old Harrow-educated actor says his driving force is to make his parents proud – despite their initial hopes he would become a barrister. “My parents were hoping I would follow that route, but acting was something that simply took hold of me and I couldn’t let it go,” says Benedict of his parents, actors Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham. “I was very grateful to them for working so hard to give me a very privileged life and a superb education, but I truly loved acting and in the end I had to admit that I really wasn’t going to be happy doing anything else. “They understood my decision.…

THE WEIGH TO RAISE MONEY The Boodles Boxing Ball committee hosted a knockout Weigh-in Party at the London in-crowd celebration central, Bunga Bunga. As guests drank Asahi beer and nibbled on pizza, a welter of would-be champs stepped on the scales to prepare for the annual charity event, which sees some of society’s most familiar faces knock seven bells out of each other to raise money for the children’s charity Starlight, and takes place this year on 21 September. SUM LIKE IT HOT ON A SUNDAY London’s bright young things headed to Hakkasan in the West End for a lunchtime party marking the arrival of Dim Sum Sundays. The glamorous dumpling lovers, who included actor Douglas Booth and party queen Yasmin Mills, enjoyed cocktails and pink champagne before a lavish…

1 ALBUM THE DIVING BOARD, ELTON JOHN “Who needs another Elton John record? I’ve made God knows how many!” jokes the 66-year-old knight of the realm, fresh from his recent headline set at Bestival. Sir Elton might not be counting – but for those who are, this is his 30th album. And it’s still one of firsts for the dad of two and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. “I’m a singer-songwriter piano player and I’ve never done a track that’s just piano and voice before Oceans Away,” he says. His unmistakeable voice sounds almost haunted on tracks such as Quicksand and The New Fever Waltz – “That’s Bernie,” says Sir Elton. “He’s the tortured one” – but Mexican Vacation (Kids in the Candlelight), Can’t Stay Alone Tonight , and the…

Some seasons offer a radical re-think of the way we dress, while others point to a more gradual evolution. This autumn/winter is the latter – a gentle transition from the styles and trends we’ve already grown to love this summer. The passion for graphics is transferred to traditional houndstooth check and black is back – along with winter white, navy and what seem like 50 shades of grey. There are colour jolts, this time in cobalt and burgundy, and the return of pretty pink: a soft counterpoint to the embrace of masculine attire. Summer’s mood of modesty is translated for winter via the sensual glamour of the Hitchcock heroines of the 1940s and 1950s, while the nostalgic focus on heritage fabrics is very much in tune with both these cinematic…

As fashionistas followed the ready-to-wear shows around the world, Karl Lagerfeld visited planet Chanel. A giant Earth centred the catwalk, with hundreds of Chanel locations lit – a shining example of Chanel’s global fashion pull, 100 years after the legendary house’s first boutique opened in Deauville Showing off dark signature tweeds and thigh-high leather leggings, Lagerfeld left gilded details behind in favour of steel and grey – “The colour of shadows, very mysterious,” he said. The oh-sochic collection has a very British following including Emma Watson and Thandie Newton…

Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh married rapper Professor Green in an idyllic country ceremony last week. The 24-year-old looked breathtaking in a vintage-style wedding gown by Alice Temperley and Christian Louboutin heels, while her groom – real name Stephen Manderson – wore a stylish blue suit for the nuptials, held in the 18th-century chapel in the grounds of Somerset’s luxurious Babington House hotel. The newlyweds couldn’t hide their delight at being declared husband and wife, smiling bashfully as they posed for photographs in the hotel grounds. Bath-born Millie – an heiress to the Quality Street fortune – was walked down the aisle by her proud father Nigel and looked perfect in her £4,000 lace gown, with a delicate floral garland in her hair. Carrying a bouquet of pink and…

In sombre mood, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry joined their father the Prince of Wales to bid a final farewell to his friend and confidant, Hugh van Cutsem, who died last week at the age of 72. Wearing dark blue suits and black ties, the brothers walked behind Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall – who had just returned from a holiday in the Balearics with her sister, interior designer Annabel Elliot – to pay their respects at the private Catholic requiem mass at the Cathedral of St Mary and St Helen in Brentwood, Essex. Prince Charles had been close to Hugh for more than 50 years and, according to a source, had been hit “hard” by his friend’s death. Visibly moved, he watched alongside the grieving…

She is known for her unflapperable nature, but that did not stop Zara Phillips from getting into the vintage vibe during a visit to this year’s Goodwood Revival Festival. Currently taking time out from the showjumping circuit because of her pregnancy, the royal mum-to-be had the opportunity to enjoy a completely different kind of three-day event and dressed for the occasion in a 1920s-inspired, b u m p - skimming out fit accessorised with cloche hat and pearls (above). Zara, who is expecting her first child in the New Year, was accompanied by rugby union player-coach husband Mike Tindall – dressed like a US serviceman from the 1940s – and the couple spent time chatting to pilot Tracey Curtis-Taylor, posing happily with her in front of 1940s aircraft The Spirit…

Choreographer Arlene Phillips is not afraid of taking radical steps for a good cause. So, to show her support for BBC Children in Need she has signed up for the fundraising BearFaced campaign, which encourages women to go without make-up for a day. Describing herself as “honoured” to be taking part, Arlene, 70, added: “It’s such an easy way to raise funds for disadvantaged children across the UK.” Wearing nothing but a smile and a Pudsey pawprint beauty spot, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge is the first of ten celebrities who did not paws when asked to help Pudsey. And she can be proud of the result. “There are some days when I look in the mirror and there’s nice lighting and I’ve no make-up on and I think,…

The Queen was in high spirits last week at the annual Braemar Gathering in Aberdeenshire, not least because she was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, in only his second public engagement since undergoing exploratory surgery in June. Prince Charles – the Duke of Rothesay, as he is known north of the border – was also present but was without the Duchess, who had last week enjoyed a break with her sister Annabel Elliot on a yacht in the Mediterranean. In a pastel pink checked coat and matching hat, the Queen was all smiles when she was presented with a heather posy by 12-year-old local triplets Fergus, Fraser and Angus Wood (left). The games, which are held a caber’s throw from the Queen’s Balmoral Estate on the first Saturday of…

Fearne Cotton bounced back from her maternity leave in style last week with the launch of her new spring/summer 2014 collection for Very.co.uk. Among the celebrity-packed crowd at London’s Claridge’s hotel were her sister-in-law Leah and mother-in-law Jo Wood (together right), as well as her proud partner Jesse Wood, with whom she has a six-month-old son, Rex. Wearing two of her own designs during the evening, including this cheeky little red number (left), Fearne tweeted back stage photos ahead of the event, which was also broadcast online. The collection – Fearne’s 12th for the online retailer – features dresses in eye-popping colours and with baby doll silhouettes (right). Following the show the designer thanked Very: “For letting me run wild with my imagination. And for landing us Claridge’s for the…

DUKE OF YORK Stopped by police in Palace grounds The Duke of York last week said he was “grateful” for Scotland Yard’s apology after he was asked to verify his identity by officers as he took a walk in the gardens of Bucking ham Palace. “The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the royal family and deterring intruders, and sometimes they get it wrong,” said Prince Andrew, 53, who was the only royal in residence at the time of the incident. “I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future.” The mix-up came 48 hours after a man was arrested in one of the palace’s state rooms having scaled a fence to break in. An alleged…

As an adult, it hurts when people say negative things about you, but as a child or a teenager it can be devastating. When I was young, there was some schoolyard bullying – although it was never really nasty, just a bit of name-calling or comments about what I was wearing. I’d sometimes go home a little upset, but I’d always tell my parents and it never got out of hand. Now it’s all about the Internet and cyber-bullies, or trolls, as they’re called. There are too many horror stories about young people driven to suicide after online bullying. It ranges from calling someone “a spin-out”, which I’ve just learned means “stupid”, to much worse things. My daughter is only one and a half, but she’s growing up in that…

‘We take our roles as ambassadors for The Prince’s Trust seriously. The Prince of Wales is a hero, he really is’ Rod Stewart The vast gardens of Clarence House proved the ideal place for a 21st birthday party, with tables laden with delicious food, complete with a huge birthday cake. The Prince of Wales was celebrating the success of an idea he had in 1990 when he decided to start selling organic produce. From that simple beginning, Duchy Originals has expanded into a company that sells 230 products in 30 countries. After forming a partnership with the Waitrose supermarket chain, the brand is worth between £700million and £1billion pounds, according to Waitrose managing director Mark Price. Since it started it has donated more than £11million to charity, including hospices throughout…

The Duke of Cambridge has persuaded his former nanny Jessie Webb to come out of retirement to help look after Prince George. The 71-year-old, who cared for Princes William and Harry in the 1990s, will look after Prince George on an “ad hoc” basis, say sources. William has always remained close to East London-born Jessie, inviting her to the royal wedding in 2011 and to his 21st birthday party. He was said to have suggested that Jessie come and work for himself and Kate – and it is believed that she looked after the seven-week-old Prince when his parents attended the Tusk Trust event. “Jessie Webb is helping the couple out,” says the source. “It was a very recent decision. She was delighted and flattered to be asked, but the…

He has served his country – and served it well – but now as history beckons, what are the Duke of Cambridge’s feelings as he leaves his cherished military career behind? Prince William’s decision to move on to the next stage in his life is one of the most important he has ever made. It cannot have been arrived at without a huge sense of personal loss – for he leaves behind a job he loved, a level of personal privacy he can never expect to enjoy again, and a group of friends and comrades who made him feel valued for what he did, not who he was. But the honeymoon’s over – a mature decision has been made to finally confront the challenges that his life holds. It’s a…

It’s one of the world’s m o s t watched shows, with a global audience of 120 million. But while Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael says reaction to the period drama has been “crazy”, she rarely gets recognised off screen. But then in real life the 26-year-old, with her beautiful porcelain skin and sparkly eyes, looks very different from her character, the dowdy Lady Edith Crawley. “There’s something about wearing clothes that your great-grandmother might have thought were nice that makes you look older,” she tells HELLO!’s Inside Entertainment when we catch up with the star ahead of the start of series four. “Me and Lily James [Edith’s second cousin Lady Rose MacClare] were in hysterics one day because we were both wearing dresses and pouring tea and it was…

Love is in the air in Chelsea. In the week that Made in Chelsea alumnus Millie Mackintosh said “I do” to rapper Professor Green, show regular Binky Felstead has revealed she has a new romance. After keeping her love life out of the spotlight – for the most part – on the hit E4 show, it looks as if romance finally blossoms for the 23-year-old in the sixth series. “You might see me have something with somebody on the show,” she laughs coyly. “It’s so fresh, very new. I’m not going to say too much, but I’ve let my guard down. You’ll recognise him, but there’s a couple curse on the show so we’ll see what happens. I’m not going to tell you who it is because it’s early days.”…

‘I never hid the fact that I was poor, or that my sister has cerebral palsy. This is what made me who I am’ Natalia Vodianova is sitting in the back seat of a stationary jeep applying her make-up, seemingly unaware of the bank of cameras outside trained on the car door. “I look like a little girl, which really doesn’t help when one needs to be taken seriously,” this preternatural beauty grumbles good-naturedly as she applies a flick of mascara to her penetrating cerulean blue eyes. In a minute she will emerge into a blizzard of camera flashes, the photographers surging forward to envelope the slender figure, who’s in top-to-toe Stella McCartney. This is no catwalk appearance for the Russian supermodel but a return to her hometown of Nizhny…

The beauty business said “let there be light – and sound” and a new generation of beauty gadgets to use at home was born. Driven by developments in salons, spas and clinics around the world, big names such as Philips, Remington, Boots and HoMedics have been developing DIY versions of intense pulsed light (IPL), laser, light emitting diodes (LED) and ultrasound wave machines that can safely be used at home. Here’s the rub – these machines are not cheap. However, if you consider the cost of a full course of IPL salon hair removal or clinic laser face treatment, they start to sound more reasonable. What’s more, you get to keep the machine, use it in the privacy of your own home and repeat the treatment until you see the…

In-demand model Cara Delevingne has described the psoriasis that blighted her otherwise perfect legs during fashion weeks in Paris and (left) Milan as “no fun”, while reality star Kim Kardashian and singer LeAnn Rimes have also spoken about having the condition. “Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and I’m sensitive,” 21-year-old Cara explained recently. “It only happened during Fashion Week, which is, of course, the worst time of year for me to be covered in scabs.” And she is far from alone in suffering. Psoriasis affects more than a million people in the UK and tends to flare up during times of stress. It occurs when skin cell turnover accelerates from the usual 21-28 days to just two to three days. As a result, the live cells reach the surface and…

BOY MEETS GIRL It’s time to man up with the season’s City Gent pinstripes, blazers with slouchy trousers, double-breasted jackets and, above all – or should I say, over all – the Big Coat, with some of the best seen at Céline, MaxMara, Proenza Schouler, Balenciaga, Alexander Wang and Jil Sander. The secret of boymeets-girl style, of course, is in the way it’s mixed up, as Marc Jacobs showed in his Louis Vuitton collection, with mannish coats worn over silk lingerie. Dries Van Noten softened his “old school” blazers with skirts, diamanté necklaces and feathers, while Giorgio Armani showed Bugsy Malone suiting with big braces, brooches and velvet waistcoats. Dsquared2 went for Wall Street style with trilby hats, while Margaret Howell, among others, favoured the boy-beret. HERITAGE FABRICS Traditional fabrics…

The Milan collections can be counted on for colour and glamour in even the most sombre season. And this Dolce & Gabbana show was a knockout: rich with Sicilian religious imagery, including a finale of gorgeous lacy dresses in cardinal red (below) Dresses featuring hand-beaded mosaics (right) seem more haute couture than ready-to-wear, and brought gasps from the audience. Left: altar-boy sleeves, rosary-style jewellery and gold filigree crowns reinforce the Sicilian cathedral feel. The designers also won acclaim for a contrasting inspiration, that of British tailoring, apparent in the heritage fabrics (above left)…

They look like the perfect match – and now Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan and TV presenter and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright are to make it official after less than nine months as a couple. A blissful Michelle took to Twitter to confirm she will become Mrs Wright after her Mr Right proposed on holiday in Dubai: “yes it’s true @markwright_ and I are engaged!! We are so SO happy :-)” Her man got down on one knee while they were enjoying 40C heat during a break at the luxurious Atlantis The Palm resort. “He’s a genuine guy, very down to earth and a proper gent,” Michelle recently told HELLO! of her husband-to-be. “In many ways, we’re very similar. We love to banter and we…

If it wasn’t already clear from the glowing smile on her face, Kate Winslet is in a very, very happy place right now. With her pregnancy bump on full display, you get the feeling the actress can barely contain her joy as she settles down to talk about her latest film, the aptly titled Labor Day, at the Toronto Film Festival. Swapping her towering heels for more comfortable flat ballet pumps she confesses: “I warn you, I have pregnancy brain, so please forgive me if I forget what we’re talking about halfway through the conversation! But I feel really, really happy right now. Happy with work, happy with life – happy in general all around!” Her delight is not only down to the hormones rushing around her body as a…

Model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne (left) recently declared she’s “done with boys”, but it seems that One Way or Another she may have had a change of heart after she was spotted out with One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles. The pair, who have been linked romantically in the past (right, in February), were seen “laughing and whispering in each other’s ears” as they caught hit musical Book of Mormon in London’s West End. Close sources reportedly say they have been secretly dating “for months”. Whether or not the rumours are true, Cara still has time for her girl friends. The 21-year-old was a ray of sunshine as she supported Rihanna at the launch of the latter’s latest collection for high-street clothing chain River Island (above). In a recent interview Cara recalled the…

After helping her little sis discover new talent on Australia’s X Factor earlier this year, Kylie Minogue has clearly developed a taste for it. The singer announced on Twitter last week that she is to take up a permanent position on the coaching panel of BBC1’s The Voice and has already had a resounding “yes” from Dannii. “Congratulations to my sister,” the younger Minogue tweeted. “#TheVoice coach Minogue style in action soon!” The move follows the departure of mentors Jessie J and Danny O’Donoghue (together left) and, while Kylie (far left, arriving at Heathrow last week) described herself as “just along for the ride” during her X Factor stint, she is more than happy to be in the driving seat this time around. “The search for new talent is such…

Until a few years ago no one had heard of either of them, but now music – and the movies – have brought odd couple Taylor Swift and Paul Potts together on the red carpet. They joined forces at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of One Chance, the story of Paul’s unlikely rise to fame. Starring James Corden, the movie charts how the tenor went from mobile phone salesman in South Wales to Britain’s Got Talent winner in 2007. Taylor, 23, contributes a song, Stranger than Fiction, to the film’s soundtrack. “It’s great to have someone of her status involved,” Paul said, before adding: “She’s so much taller than me!” Not that he was overshadowed by her presence. Taking to Twitter, the Welshman revealed how the film had received standing…

Despite her recent revelation that she finds it hard to take herself seriously, Pixie Geldof’s latest career plans are evidently no joke. The model and singer, a front row regular at London Fashion Week, is to team up with her designer best pal Ashley Williams to launch a new clothing label. Sharing her plans at the VIP launch of Bailey’s Chocolat Luxe, the younger sister of Peaches and Fifiwas full of beans when it came to talking about the venture. Named after the term coined by Ashley and stylist Fran Burns to describe Pixie’s own style, Funky Offish will be “our take on smart casual – half funky and half official”, said rocker Sir Bob’s daughter, who turns 23 this week. “It’s short for funky official.” Pixie (left) has no…

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell said last week he was “delighted” at being cleared of 12 charges of child sex abuse. “It is a weight off everyone’s shoulders,” said the 48-year-old, who had always vehemently protested his innocence. The jury at Manchester Crown Court took four hours to find him not guilty on all counts. The father of two was charged with indecent assault, sexual activity with a child and causing a child to engage in sexual activity, after his 17-year-old accuser, who cannot be named, alleged she had been abused between the ages of six and 14. Michael’s co-stars took to Twitter after the verdict. His onscreen daughter Helen Flanagan wrote: “Justice. Strong man,” while Antony Cotton tweeted: “The truth will always out…” Sally Dynevor, who has played…

To celebrate her 30th birthday, Pippa Middleton shared her love of all things Spanish with her family and friends as she jetted off to Seville for a fun fiesta weekend. The younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge and aunt to Prince George took advantage of the late summer sun when, joined by her boyfriend Nico Jackson, parents Carole and Michael and brother James and about 20 friends, she sampled the delights of Andalusia, from flamenco lessons and tapas tasting to exploring dusty streets lined with orange trees. The lively party set off from London on Pippa’s birthday, 6 September, arriving in Seville by mid morning and wasting no time in exploring the city. Our exclusive pictures show the birthday girl sporting a jaunty pink floral skirt and black T-shirt…

‘He [William] is on the phone, it’s all baby chat… Stop flirting, get on with it!’ Prince Harry They may have been working hard to raise money for charity but the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry still found the time to entertain onlookers with a bit of brotherly banter last week. The two worked the phones at BGC Partners in London’s Canary Wharf to help raise money for WellChild, a charity which has Prince Harry as its patron, and SkillForce, of which Prince William is patron. The event is held every year in honour of the 658 employees the company lost in the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. As they talked to clients to help negotiate huge deals – including one worth €25billion – Harry teased his brother…

‘When I learned of the current poaching levels in Africa, I immediately agreed to help’ David It isn’t the first time that the Duke of Cambridge and David Beckham have teamed up, becoming firm friends when they campaigned to bring the 2018 World Cup to England. Now they’ve joined forces again to help stop the illegal wildlife trade. David came on board as Prince William announced plans last week to form a global environmental foundation. United for Wildlife – a project which is sure to take up much of his time in the coming months – brings together seven conservation groups with the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. William will be president of the organisation, formed of Conservation International, Fauna & Flora International,…

With her blonde hair swept stylishly high into a sophisticated chignon, Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley steps into a fulllength fuchsia satin evening dress and a pair of designer heels. Posing languidly against the stunning backdrop of historic Tatton Park in Cheshire for an exclusive HELLO! photoshoot to celebrate her 30th birthday this week, she could be the lady of the manor. Visitors to the estate are stopped in their tracks by her striking appearance, her enviable figure showcased in an array of sumptuous gowns. It’s certainly a far cry from her usual attire in her role as feisty Eva Price, barmaid of the Rovers Return. Not surprisingly, Catherine – and everyone else who witnesses the transformation – is in raptures. “This dress is great for curves,” says Catherine, admiring…

Fresh from her holidays, Amanda Holden had a golden glow as she took to the red carpet last week, showing off a sleek new hairstyle. “I’ve come back from a summer of having a blonde afro on the beach so I’ve had my ends cut off,” the Britain’s Got Talent star laughs as HELLO!’s Inside Entertainment catches up with her at a TV awards ceremony in London (left). It’s back to work for the 42-year-old, whose autobiography No Holding Back is out next month, coinciding with the release of the film One Chance, based on the life of BGT’s first winner Paul Potts. “I’ve already seen the movie,” says Amanda. “Simon Cowell and me went to see it on our own with a couple of the producers. I think it’s…

‘I saw AJ just explode onto the stage – this beautiful, green-eyed, red-haired girl with the most amazing amount of swagger’ When JLS star Oritsé Williams and his girlfriend AJ Azari eventually tie the knot, one thing they won’t have any disagreements over is their first dance. The toe-tapping couple are currently hot favourites to win ITV1’s Saturday night show Stepping Out, in which six celebrities and their real-life partners learn a new dance style each week and perform live on the night in the hope of winning viewers’ votes to avoid elimination. So, all we need now is a proposal… “Oh my goodness, the pressure to buy a ring is crazy,” laughs Oritsé when HELLO! catches up with the pair. “Who knows what the future holds? Right now, we’re…

David and Victoria’s little girl melted the hearts of the coolest fashionistas, including Anna Wintour She may be just two years old but little Harper Beckham has once again proved that she is able to hobnob with the great and the good of fashion after attending her mother Victoria’s latest catwalk show, which kicked off New York Fashion Week. The gorgeous little girl sat on her father David’s lap throughout the presentation and garnered indulgent smiles from enraptured onlookers, including notoriously hard-toplease American Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Naturally, given her family connections, the tot scored a front row vantage point from which to watch the well-received collection, with her seat reserved with a sticker personalised with a small red heart. As retired footballer David, 38, chatted to Ms Wintour, Harper…

My first column for HELLO! couldn’t have been timed any better. London Fashion Week is such an exciting time and I can’t wait to go to the shows. I’ll be going to Jonathan Saunders and Giles, who I absolutely love. Giles Deacon designed my wedding dress and he just really gets how women want to dress – he’s inspirational. I’ve walked [the catwalk] for Giles in the past so I know what London Fashion Week is like from both sides. There’s all this chaos, madness andhard work that goes into one show and then it’s over in two minutes. I’ll also be looking to see what Burberry does. Victoria Beckham may not be showing but she’s another of my favourites – she makes beautiful clothes and is right up there…

TOFFEE TONES Autumn’s fashion for fleshtoned fingers was nailed by Tom Ford, whose models displayed neat nails painted in shades of toffee and mink (left). Known as the mannequin mani, the idea is to match your skin tone closely and create one even shade. SILVER LININGS For something a little more party pretty, try one of the new metallics, as seen at Ohne Titel (left), where elegant, midlength oval nails were painted in muted pewter, subtle shimmer silvers and even permutations of platinum. Perfect for day and evening. BLOOD BROTHERS Not just for boyish brogues, autumnal oxblood and brown are the sexiest ways to give nails a seasonal makeover, as demonstrated by Daks, Emporio Armani and Dsquared2 (left). Keep the shape short, neat and squoval, and let your inner vampire…

A dark cloud may have cast its shadow over the fictional Grantham family seat after Matthew Crawley’s tragic death last Christmas in Downton Abbey, but in real life, Highclere was home sweet home for the remaining cast as they descended on the Berkshire stately pile earlier this year to film the fourth series. “It’s Lady Mary’s voice that makes me feel like I’ve come back,” says Romford-born Michelle Dockery (right), as the show returns to TV this Sunday. “She’s quite posh, not like me. And, of course, then there’s the clothes and the hair. I love playing her.” Her newborn son baby George provides Lady Mary with her only comfort after the death of Matthew – in the same year that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their own…

The most talked-about duo since Pippa and Kate, the Delevingnes are devoted sisters with very different takes on British cool Talk about a sensational sister act. From magazine covers to advertising campaigns, from billboards to the world’s most famous runways, British models Poppy and Cara Delevingne have taken the fashion world by storm. Educated at public school Bedales, they’re both blessed with high cheekbones, long legs and statuesque forms (at 5ft 10in, Poppy stands a half-inch taller than her little sis). Oh, and they boast quite the family pedigree. Their mum is 1970s society model Pandora Stevens – daughter of Sir Jocelyn – their grandmother Jane Stevens was lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret and dad Charles Delevingne is a handsome and successful property developer. So it’s safe to say that being…

Hollywood darling Jessica Chastain sat front row, as veteran supermodel Carolyn Murphy (far right) helped show off Francisco Costa’s futuristic collection. With a firm emphasis on the waist, his tweed, wool and leather coats and dresses came cinched by wide belts, with huge shiny buckles, while accentuated shoulders often had a military feel. This was inspired, said Costa, by the 1962 Soviet film Ivan’s Childhood. He loved “that duality, the male-female thing... the love affair between a girl and this military man”…

BIG BELTS It’s time to cinch yourself in at the waist with one of A/W’s many wide-waist or corset-style belts – guaranteed to give an hourglass figure in the most flattering way WOOLLY HATS Knitted hats were big news at the shows.

SPORTS DAY THE LOOK Gym hair is usually something to be hidden away until you can get home to shower and blow dry; but not this winter. Models at Peter Pilotto, Aminaka Wilmont, Anthony Vaccarello and Maria Grachvogel all wore messy ponytails with a slightly wet-look finish. THE LOWDOWN Whether you wear your ponytail high on the back of your head with a kink of hair caught in the band or low to the nape of the neck, texture and finish are key to this look. With the palms of your hands, add a little oil from roots to ends, then drag hair back before securing with a black band. Finish by gently back-brushing the ends to give a tousled look. THINK PINK THE LOOK Teamed with this season’s grey…
