They may no longer be Girls Aloud but they are clearly still in tune when it comes to dressing up. Nicola Roberts, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Kimberley Walsh all opted for co-ordinating black and white for a girls’ night out. The pals were a head-turning trio as they celebrated Nicola’s 30th at a star-studded party at the Hotel Chantelle restaurant in London. Leading the way, of course, was the birthday girl, who wore a glamorous black gown from London label Fabryan, her striking red hair in a loose updo. Cheryl, who had flown in from Rome where she was filming the Judges’ Houses section of The X Factor , was chic in a Balmain monochrome mini-dress teamed with strappy gold Saint Laurent shoes, while Kimberley, who will star in the West…

With packed itineraries and varied activities, royal visits can be exhausting. However, if Sweden’s Princess Sofia looked perfectly at home during her recent trip to Dalarna province in the country’s heartland, it is because she was. The former reality TV star grew up in the area and was delighted to show her husband Prince Carl Philip around (left). Their two-day tour saw them visit the village of Älvdalen, where Sofia lived from the age of six, with the Princess introducing her Prince to well-wishers as “my husband” as she made what was said be her first trip to the village since the couple’s wedding in June. There was also a stopover in Idre (above right), the most southern Sami – or Laplander – village in Sweden and the country’s southernmost…

Despite describing herself as “a mum and a wife with a really cool day job”, there is little doubt that Queen Rania of Jordan is much more – which is why the organisers of London’s first Women in the World summit had no hesitation in asking her to take part. The two-day event, which was organised by journalist Tina Brown, gathered together a host of inspiring and impressive females from all walks of life, with the Jordanian royal (left) joining women from 17 other countries. Participants included Oscar-winning actresses Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman, playwright Bonnie Greer and Home Secretary Theresa May, who discussed themes from terrorism to sexuality in the digital age. Addressing a packed audience, Rania spoke about Jordan and the 1.4 million refugees it has housed after…

After tackling the rules of rugby during the Wales v England World Cup match courtesy of his Welsh girlfriend Hayley Roberts, David Hasselhoff (above left, with Hayley at the match) was on more familiar ground when he turned out in support of the Miami Dolphins at the annual NFL International Series at Wembley (above right). For rugby fan Hayley, however, the US sport is a whole new ball game. Unfazed, the pair swapped sides, with David teaching his girlfriend its finer points. Watching the Dolphins take on the New York Jets, he said: “I hope more games come to the UK. It is such a good game to watch.” Posing with one of the side’s blue jerseys (right), the actor and singer made no secret of his support for the…

Isabella Cruise, the 22-year-old daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, has married her IT consultant boyfriend Max Parker, it was revealed last week. The couple tied the knot at an intimate ceremony at London’s Dorchester hotel, attended only by close friends. The aspiring make-up artist wore a white lace mini dress while her four bridesmaids sported peach jumpsuits. The low-key wedding was not attended by Isabella’s famous parents – who adopted her and brother Connor, now 20, shortly after they wed in 1990 – reportedly because they feared the media attention would ruin the day for their daughter. Nicole is currently appearing in the West End play Photograph 51 . “Isabella and Max met in London through friends,” said a source. “The ceremony was low-key…

It will be one of the Duchess of Cambridge’s most defining – and dazzling – moments to date. At her first-ever state banquet, a white-tie occasion at Buckingham Palace on 20 October in honour of the visiting President of China, it is likely that she will wear a glittering tiara from the Queen’s personal collection. With an array of exquisite diadems to choose from in the royal jewellery collection – thought to contain the largest and most valuable headpieces in the world – Kate’s legion of admirers are eagerly waiting to discover which priceless tiara will be her crowning glory. Last week, the Queen was back at Buckingham Palace from her annual summer holiday at Balmoral and the Duchess was also in London – perhaps allowing Kate the opportunity to…

Making her debut appearance after giving birth to her first child, Carey Mulligan was radiant as she joined her Suffragette co-stars at the opening night gala of the BFI London Film Festival. The actress, who is the proud mother of “a healthy and happy baby” with musician husband Marcus Mumford, clearly held the subjects of her film close to her heart, opting to wear a Chanel dress in purple – one of the suffragette colours. “My character is mum to a little boy,” said Carey, who plays Maud Watts. “She’s seeking to build a better society for her son. Feminism and equality is as much a man’s issue as it is a woman’s.” True to her words, Carey remained unruffled as protest group Sisters Uncut demonstrated…

‘I’d love to be spikier, I’d love to be a bit edgier, but that’s not my job at the moment’ Once famous for living life in the fast lane, DJ and TV presenter Chris Evans has put his party past behind him. Having yo-yoed in the popularity polls over the years, he is currently on a career high, with his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show attracting more than nine million listeners. Now he’s been entrusted with one of TV’s highest-profile presenting jobs – hosting BBC2’s popular car show Top Gear . While it has been hard to imagine anyone other than longtime presenter Jeremy Clarkson in the role, Chris seems a perfect fit, especially with his well-known love of classic motors – Ferraris in particular. His vast multimillion-pound collection has…

Her performance as Game of Thrones’ fearless Arya Stark has won her praise around the world, yet teenage actress Maisie Williams was still left starstruck when she bumped into Justin Timberlake in New Orleans. The Bristol-born star was filming The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea with Jessica Biel, the singer’s wife. “It was really cold so I got into a car to get warm and Jess was already in there,” says Maisie, 18, who plays a homeless girl in the Hollywood drama, which is due out next year. “I had this big bright blue blanket around me and he goes, ‘Hi, I’m Justin,’” she adds. “I didn’t expect him to be there. I looked over to Jessica as if to say, ‘Help, what do I say?’ and said, ‘Hi,…

Libra 24 SEP – 23 OCT The wisest decisions are arrived at slowly. Even when reached in a flash of intuition, we are well advised to make sure they still feel as appropriate with the passage of time. All this is why you can be so sure you are pursuing the best path this week. Are you not now implementing a choice you made quite some while ago? You’ve waited long enough. The New Moon says it is time to act. In the Dark of the Moon your future can change. Call 0906-751 8080. Scorpio 24 OCT – 22 NOV Mars, this week, forms a trine to Pluto and a conjunction to Jupiter. The astrologers among this readership hardly need to read any further. That says it all. It tells…

In a room full of stars, Rita Ora definitely shone at a glamorous restaurant launch last week. The 24-year-old judge of The X Factor was one of the guests of honour at the opening of new London restaurant Sexy Fish, wearing an appropriately mermaid-inspired bespoke gold sequined gown and strappy Jimmy Choo sandals. The restaurant is the latest venture from Richard Caring, the man behind a string of fashionable venues including The Ivy and J Sheekey. Singing hits such as Black Widow , R.I.P. and Body on Me , Rita was cheered by an appreciative crowd that included supermodel Kate Moss, actresses Goldie Hawn and Lindsay Lohan, Topshop boss Sir Philip Green and his shoe designer daughter Chloe. Singer Ciara also attended, as did model Winnie Harlow and artist Tracey…

It has been a challenging fortnight for soprano Camilla Kerslake. First, she witnessed the man she loves – England rugby union captain Chris Robshaw – being knocked out of the World Cup, then she was subjected to verbal abuse from disgruntled rugby followers walking past their London home in the middle of the night. However, the best-selling classical cross-over star is made of stern stuff, as she explains in this exclusive interview with HELLO! . “When you’ve nursed your mum through breast cancer, then experienced the terrifying trauma of a breast cancer scare yourself, you can get through anything, including people shouting outside your window at 4am. When you go out with a sportsman, it’s part of the territory,” says Camilla as she and her mother, personal development coach and…

The Duke of Rothesay – as the Prince of Wales is known in Scotland – made a fleeting visit to HM Naval Base Clyde to join thousands of service personnel from around the world for the start of the Joint Warrior military exercise. During his time at the base, which is more commonly known as Faslane, Prince Charles met the captains and crews of two Fleet Atlantic vessels – submarine HMCS Windsor (below left) and patrol frigate HMCS Montreal (below right) – and won praise for his shipshape approach to life on board. “He was very impressive to watch aboard the Windsor,” said Craig Baines, commander of Canadian Fleet Atlantic. “It is a difficult ship to move about in and he was a tremendous sport in working in those tight…

As a Hollywood actress with a successful sideline as a billion-dollar businesswoman, there is nothing half-baked about Jessica Alba. So when she turned up at cupcake bakery Sprinkles in Beverly Hills to help create fundraising cakes in aid of the charity Baby2Baby, she got a far from frosty reception. Jessica’s appearance really was the icing on the cake for the initiative, which will see the sweet treats go on sale next month in return for donations of baby items. The mum of two is a staunch supporter and board member of Baby2Baby, which provides nappies and clothing to low-income families, and was happy to pipe up for the cause alongside Sprinkles co-president Norah Weinstein, founder Candace Nelson and co-president Kelly Patricof (above right, from left, with Jessica). And if Jessica…

If US songstress and new mum Ashlee Simpson has been short of sleep of late, you’d never know it to look at her. Just two months after giving birth to Jagger Snow, her daughter with her actor husband Evan Ross, the American beauty was the picture of relaxed chic at her 31st birthday celebrations last week. Doting parents Ashlee and Evan enjoyed a night out with close family and friends at a Beverly Hill steak house. Among the guests were Ashlee’s six-year-old son Bronx (below, with his mum) from her first marriage, to Pete Wentz, bass player in rock band Fall Out Boy; her separated parents Tina and Joe and their new partners; and her singer legend mother-in-law Diana Ross (left), who last year hosted Evan and Ashlee’s wedding on…

‘All I want to do is move on. If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money’ 007 star Daniel Craig (left) would rather Die Another Day than be On Her Majesty’s Secret Service again ‘I’m in the news every single day and it can feel at times like everybody’s waiting for you to really mess up’ Pop star Taylor Swift may take a break to avoid any Bad Blood with the public ‘I’ve even been known to try a witchetty grub. I could’ve gone on I’m a Celebrity… and won it. I wouldn’t have to be bribed or anything’ Australian star Nicole Kidman has a taste for home-grown Bushtucker ‘I am not going to shave. Getting older, I’ve got to hide…

It was more than Bridget Jones’s diary that Renée Zellweger was filling while filming in London (right). The actress sported a large fake baby bump under a pair of dungarees to become Britain’s favourite singleton once more in Bridget Jones’s Baby . Co-star Colin Firth (above), who plays Mark Darcy, was also on set, although the fact his character isn’t kitted out with a wedding ring had fans wondering if the on-off couple have ever managed to make it down the aisle. Helping Bridget fill her journal, now written electronically (above, inset left), were James Callis and Sally Phillips (below, with Renée), who the actress said are “an absolute joy to work with”.…

The BBC’s tough business competition The Apprentice is heading back to our screens and Karren Brady is relishing the opportunity to promote women in business. “I take the role very seriously,” the life peer, who last year was awarded a CBE in recognition of her work, tells HELLO!. “I do my damnedest to get as many women up the ladder, through the door and around the table as possible.” The Government’s small business ambassador – and vice-chairman of West Ham United – has been by presenter Lord Sugar’s side since 2009, helping decide who will win the £250,000 investment. “I’m hoping there’s someone who has the skills an entrepreneur needs,” she says. “Someone determined, dogged, ambitious, focused, enthusiastic, willing to learn on the job, adaptable and someone who will grow…

She’s one half of a glamour couple and one fifth of girl band The Saturdays, but Rochelle Humes is enjoying branching out alone for her latest venture. The 26-year-old singer, TV presenter and fashion designer has just launched her autumn/ winter collection for very.co.uk – a range of knits and eveningwear combining style and practicality, just like Rochelle herself. Away from the designing board, Rochelle is currently fronting The Xtra Factor with Melvin Odoom, who is also her co-presenter on the comedy panel show Sweat the Small Stuff , and she begins filming a new series of the game show Ninja Warrior UK in the new year. All this on top of being wife to The Voice presenter and former JLS singer Marvin Humes and looking after their two-year-old daughter…

His reaction to being given the Over-25s group on this year’s X Factor earned him boos, but Simon Cowell’s softer side was in evidence last week at the annual fundraising ball for Shooting Star Chase, a children’s hospice that cares for youngsters with life-limiting conditions. A vice-president of the charity, it’s a cause very close to the music mogul’s heart. “Being a father myself changes things,” Simon – who has son Eric, who turns two in February, with girlfriend Lauren Silverman – told HELLO!. “You start to appreciate what these parents are going through. You wonder, ‘What would I do if my son or daughter was in that situation?’ It becomes very personal.” Other stars turning out for the glittering event at London’s Dorchester hotel included Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley,…

After her star turn at the Henley Literary Festival, where she discussed her Anjou Trilogy of historical novels, Princess Michael of Kent and her husband of 37 years Prince Michael joined aristocrats from all over Europe to celebrate the 60th birthday of Augusto Ruffo di Calabria, the nephew of Queen Paola of Belgium, on a grand hunting estate in the southern region of Andalusia. Billed as Seville’s social event of the season, the festivities saw guests including Pierre Casiraghi’s sister-in-law Matilde Borromeo and Prince Christian of Hanover immerse themselves in local culture, including a bullfighting display and a flamenco show. The weekend required several wardrobe changes, allowing Princess Michael to show off her timeless elegance. The historian and author, who turns 71 in January, looked chic in a pistachio-coloured trouser…

A touring exhibition of photos of the actress Elizabeth Taylor has opened in London. Marking 30 years since the Oscar winner and humanitarian began her fight against HIV/Aids following the death of her friend Rock Hudson, the exhibition, titled Grit & Glamour, includes images that span the decades of her career and provide an intimate behind-the-scenes look into the life of one of the most photographed women of all time. Speaking about the photos, which include one of a young Liz on the set of Giant (left) and another of her on the set of 1972’s Under Milk Wood with co-stars Peter O’Toole and her then husband Richard Burton (above), her son Christopher Wilding said: “They remind me how special and unique it was growing up around her. Life often…

Author and HELLO! blogger Giovanna Fletcher, the wife of McBusted’s Tom Fletcher, was all smiles last week at the wedding of her big sister Giorgina Falcone and long-term love Lee Cawley. The happy couple were joined by family and friends including the bride’s brother and star of The Only Way is Essex Mario Falcone (left, with Giovanna and Giorgina) at the beachfront Hotel Dei Pini in Alghero on Sardinia. “We always knew Sardinia would be the location for our wedding,” says Giorgina. “But it’s not just the venue that makes the wedding, it’s the people who make it what it is.” Singer and guitarist Tom (above, with the bride) played his former band McFly’s Love is Easy on his ukulele as Giorgina walked up the aisle and later sang the…

SIR BRUCE FORSYTH Presenter suffers fall at home Entertainment legend Sir Bruce Forsyth was last week rushed to hospital after a fall at his home. The 87-year-old TV presenter suffered a minor concussion as well as facial abrasions and doctors have ordered complete rest. Sir Bruce subsequently pulled out of new BBC variety show Bruce’s Hall of Fame, with Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong drafted in to replace him. “I was really looking forward to this show and working with such a talented cast and I am really sad not to be part of it,” said the entertainer, whose career spans more than 70 years. PETER ANDRE Court rejects death threat claims Strictly Come Dancingstar Peter Andre was last week labelled an “unsatisfactory witness” by a High Court judge. The singer…

Amal Clooney looked like she meant business in London last week. The human rights lawyer was spotted arriving for work at the Doughty Street Chambers (left) in what was a very busy few days. Among her packed schedule was appearing with former al-Jazeera bureau chief Mohamed Fahmy (below) as he made his first public appearance since leaving Egypt, where he had spent more than 400 days in prison before being given a presidential pardon last month. Also on Amal’s itinerary was a press conference with Laila Ali (bottom), the wife of Mohamed Nasheed, the Maldives’ ex-President. He was imprisoned for 13 years in March on terrorism charges, after ordering the arrest of an allegedly corrupt judge. The fight has also seen Amal, the wife of actor George, battling Cherie Booth,…

Prince Harry’s reputation as the royal joker grew last week, when he was mistaken for a clown at the annual WellChild Awards, which celebrate the courage of seriously ill children and their carers. Held at the London Hilton hotel, this was Harry’s eighth time at the event since he became the charity’s royal patron in 2007 and he was a big hit with the young stars of the night – especially nine-year-old Nellie-Mai Evans from the village of Warcop in Cumbria. The Inspirational Child award winner was seven months old when she was diagnosed with a heart defect that required a transplant. She has since had cancer three times, suffered a severe stroke that has left her suffering from fits and has “died” on several occasions. Playfully hitting the Prince…

Dame Helen Mirren has won plaudits on screen and stage for playing the Queen. So it was entirely fitting that, as she took to the red carpet in London to promote her upcoming film Trumbo , her co-star Bryan Cranston went down on bended knee to kiss her hand (above). Elegant in a coatdress by Suzannah, she topped off her look with a Rachel Black headpiece. “My character has the most amazing hats so I was determined to wear a hat,” the actress, who plays gossip journalist Hedda Hopper in the film, told HELLO!. Dame Helen has clearly proven a hit with Breaking Bad actor Bryan, who plays blacklisted scriptwriter Dalton Trumbo in the biopic, and it seems the admiration is mutual. “I…

In the most-watched television show of the year, housewife and mum of three Nadiya Hussain was last week crowned winner of BBC1’s The Great British Bake Off , in a final which had 14.5million viewers hooked. The 30-year-old broke down in tears when presenter Sue Perkins announced her the champion. Her emotions were shared by judge Mary Berry, whose voice faltered as she called her a worthy winner. Nadiya, who was born in Luton and now lives in Leeds, said appearing on the show has given her the confidence to believe she can achieve great things. Her ecstatic family – husband Abdal and their children aged nine, eight and four – leapt in the air with delight when they heard the news. Earlier, Nadiya had said that her and Abdal’s…

She is one of the last original stars of reality TV series Made in Chelsea but Binky Felstead has no plans to leave the E4 show that made her a star. “I’ll be there until they don’t want me any more,” she tells HELLO!. “I love being part of the MIC family. Of course, there have been times when I thought I’d had enough, but everyone has ups and downs.” During her five years on the show, Binky has had her fair share of heartache. Former beau Alex Mytton confessed onscreen to repeatedly cheating on her and this summer she was forced to fly back early from filming Made in Chelsea: LA in the US after her dalliance with property developer Josh Patterson soured. However, that may not have been…

Jo Wood was welcomed into a very special knitting circle on a recent three-day trip to Nepal. The businesswoman and former model even got her own needles out when she visited Kathmandu to meet women making knitwear for ethical clothing brand People Tree. “I love anything that’s Fair Trade or organic; organisations that care about the environment,” says Jo, who has her own organic beauty range. “So the trip was an easy thing to say yes to.” Six years ago, Jo went to visit garment workers in Bangladesh with People Tree, a Fair Trade fashion pioneer. “I have a great sense of adventure and want to see the world,” she says. “And by meeting all different types of people, I think it makes you a better person. You can understand…

THE FINE ART OF FUNDRAISING Art lovers were inspired to dig deep at the inaugural She Inspires Art gala auction in aid of Women 4 Women International.

A phenomenal £800,000 was raised for the global initiative, which supports women affected by war. BRACELET LAUNCH CHARMS THE STARS Luxury jewellery and watch brand Thomas Sabo welcomed famous faces to a cocktail party at its central London boutique to show off its latest designs.

‘No model would have permanent hair extensions. Their look needs to be flexible, ever-changing and constantly evolving’ Hairstylist Sam McKnight Right now, the hairdressing world is experiencing an extension backlash as an increasing number of famous faces join the no-more-knots movement. It started with Jennifer Lopez, who ditched her trademark extensions for her starring role in new film Lila & Eve and has since been showcasing a much more chic and stylish bob. In March, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini did the same, later explaining that she has had enough of high-maintenance extensions. Then there’s Kim Kardashian, who cannot quite make up her mind whether to be natural or opt for extensions, changing her look with the seasons. The truth is, no matter how well they are put in and how carefully you…

Former PM’s aide Alastair Campbell “Eight years before I began working for Tony Blair I had a serious nervous breakdown; it was a horrible experience and even now it is not that easy to relive it.” Stephen Fry [On being bipolar] “I wouldn’t want anyone to underestimate the seriousness of a condition like that; it can shorten lives, sometimes traumatically and terribly, and it can have a terrible effect on families and people around you.” Freddie Flintoff “During the 2006/7 Ashes trip I was probably at an all-time low, both personally and professionally. Even though I was captain of England, financially fine and… playing Australia on the biggest stage of all, for some reason I experienced that feeling that I didn’t want to get out of bed.” Lady Gaga “I…

Richard E Grant is an actor with a perennial air of mischief about him, a fact confirmed when we meet in London on the set of big-budget ITV period thriller Jekyll and Hyde , transported in time to the 1930s. “Hence the garb,” says the 58-year-old actor when we rendezvous in make-up, where he’s sporting a jaunty trilby and a camel coat with a lavish faux-fur collar. “I play Sir Roger Bulstrode, who is head of a secret, secret service that officially doesn’t exist,” he adds. “He’s a foil for Jekyll and Hyde throughout the whole thing: a decent chap, but he can peep into the dark side.” It’s just one aspect of writer Charlie Higson’s fascinating homage to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic late Victorian novel The Strange Case of…

FILM SUFFRAGETTE Carey Mulligan (right) delivers a stand-out performance as working mum Maud, who gets involved with a group of suffragettes.

Hollywood star Andrew Garfield is looking rather dashing these days. At 32, his face – framed by a new moustache and beard – has gained in definition and his thick dark hair is brushing his shoulders like a musketeer’s. Softly spoken and clearly intelligent, he makes it plain that he would very much rather discuss philosophy and social justice than his five-year relationship with his Amazing Spider-Man co-star Emma Stone. Undeterred, HELLO! sat down with the Los Angeles-born, British-raised actor in Beverly Hills to hear his thoughts on fame and fortune. Great hair, Andrew… Thank you. It’s for the new Martin Scorsese film Silence , in which I play a 17th-century Jesuit priest. I’m still wearing it, although I don’t quite know why. It requires a lot of care and…
