‘I chose this townhouse because I identify with it. It’s European in style and I felt right at home’ With an insatiable appetite for everything bold, brash and bling, German-born designer Philipp Plein took a great big noisy bite out of the Big Apple when he showed there for the first time this spring. Vowing to “make New York Fashion Week great again”, he unleashed his lavish rock’n’roll aesthetic on a delighted celebrity audience that included Madonna, Kylie Jenner, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Tiffany Trump and a who’s who of hip-hop legends. To take their front-row seats in the New York Public Library venue, his guests had run the gauntlet of women dressed as the Statue of Liberty, Elvis impersonators and Times Square’s Naked Cowboy on the steps. You’d expect…

Looking a dream in cream, the Duchess of Cambridge curtsies as she greets the Queen ahead of the Easter Day church service. The Queen, in the week of her 91st birthday, attended the annual event with her husband the Duke of Edinburgh and three of their four children, alongside several of the next generation of royals. Kate, dressed in a chic cream Catherine Walker coat and matching hat, accompanied her husband the Duke, who smiled as he bowed his head in homage to his grandmother at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. The Queen, in a bright turquoise coat and hat, and Prince Philip arrived by car while the rest of their party walked the short distance from Windsor Castle. Other royals at the service included the Duke of York…

After saying Let’s Wait Awhile for parenthood, Janet Jackson has certainly been making up for lost time. The singer, who welcomed her first child, son Eissa, in January, recently introduced him to her fans by posting a photo of mother and baby on social media. “My baby and me after nap time,” Janet, 50, wrote alongside the shot, which captures her son mid-yawn (right). After what was described as a “stress-free delivery”, the first-time mum has taken time out from performing to be with Eissa, whose father is millionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana. As well as motherhood, the No Sleeep singer has also been adjusting to single life, after announcing last month that she and her husband were separating after four years of marriage. Responding to rumours of a split,…

Enabling fans and followers to keep track of her pregnancy, cyclist Laura Kenny posted a special Easter photo of her growing bump – cleverly tweaked to feature an illustration of an egg (above). Expecting her first child with fellow Olympic gold-winning cyclist Jason Kenny (together below), she has happily not found pregnancy as onerous as it’s cracked up to be, saying: “Growing a baby so far has been pretty easy.” Keen to ensure the wheels did not come off her fitness regime as she prepped for parenthood, Laura also revealed that her expectant state had not slowed her down… that much. Speaking to HELLO! online, she said: “I do two hours of exercise a day I am being quite active, [but] the further I get into the pregnancy the easier…

Their famous parents may be dating, but it seems Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez’s respective daughters Emme and Natasha have plenty in common themselves. An image posted on Jennifer’s Instagram page shows the two girls share the same hairstyles and look similar enough to be sisters. Captioned simply, “Tashi and lulu”, using Emme’s nickname, the pic (right) was taken on a getaway to the Dominican Republic, which was both business and pleasure for Jennifer, 47. While on the island with the former baseball star, who recently called J-Lo “amazing”, she performed at the Casa de Campo resort, where she was joined on stage by ex-husband Marc Anthony. She and Alex, along with her nine-year-old twins Emme and Max and his daughters Natasha, 12, and Ella, nine, then enjoyed some downtime…

Sources close to the couple confirmed they chose to wait until Ben had completed treatment in rehab for alcohol addiction to split.

Prime Minister Theresa May leaves Ten Downing Street to announce her plans for a snap general election to be held on 8 June (left). Announcing the surprising news last Tuesday, Mrs May told assembled media (above) she was calling for the election to stabilise the country in the wake of the Brexit referendum as divisions at Westminster put the negotiations at risk. “Last summer, after the country voted to leave the European Union, Britain needed certainty, stability and strong leadership and, since I became Prime Minister, the Government has delivered precisely that,” she said. “Despite predictions of immediate financial and economic danger, since the referendum we have seen consumer confidence remain high, record numbers of jobs and economic growth that has exceeded all expectations.” The following day, the move won…

‘Pippa has upped the ante in her fitness routine to make sure she’s in the best shape for her big day’ When Pippa Middleton steps into her wedding gown on 20 May, there will still remain one vital finishing touch to ensure that she looks absolutely flawless as she walks up the aisle: her make-up. And HELLO! can exclusively reveal that the 33-year-old bride-to-be has reserved the same beauty expert – Hannah Martin – who helped her sister the Duchess of Cambridge look picture-perfect at the royal wedding in April 2011, alongside mother of the bride Carole and maid of honour Pippa. The expert also gave Zara Phillips her gorgeous glow for her wedding to Mike Tindall two months later. It was actually Pippa who introduced Kate to Bobbi Brown…

Olivia Palermo never disappoints in the style stakes and even makes popping to the shops a stylish affair. Stepping out in New York, the socialite looked as immaculate as ever with a Max&Co padded knit coat draped around her shoulders over an elegant neck-tie blouse and ripped Black Orchid jeans.

The former Desperate Housewives star was on a romantic holiday on the island of Maui, celebrating the 49th birthday of her husband, Televisa president José Bastón. Wearing a blue-and-white-striped one-piece Melissa Odabash swimsuit, floppy hat and mirrored sunglasses, the 42-year-old actress soaked up the sun, strolled along the sand and splashed around in the sea with her Mexican media mogul husband, who brightened the scenery with a pair of bright pink swimming trunks. After sharing a tender embrace they took to the water on paddleboards. Joined by friends on their holiday, the couple also soaked up the sights and sounds of Hawaii. During their time on the…

‘It was an absolute pleasure to be at Buckingham Palace today. If you dream big and work hard you can accomplish great things’ They are already good friends so there was naturally plenty of visible warmth between Prince William and queen of fashion Victoria Beckham when he presented her with an OBE at Buckingham Palace last week. Victoria, who was a guest along with her husband David at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011, was given the honour in recognition of her contribution to fashion and charity work and she flashed a heartfelt smile as the Duke invested her with the award. Former England captain David – also friends with William, who is president of the Football Association – accompanied his wife of 17 years…

Celebrating her big day in a big way, former Victoria’s Secret Angel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made no attempt to hide her pregnancy curves at a star-studded 30th birthday party. Arriving at Soho House in Los Angeles, the model and actress opted for full-on mum-to-be glamour in a bodycon black dress and heels (left). She was just as upfront about entering a new decade, as she posted a pic on Instagram of her with her birthday cake (above). “My heart feels full of warmth and love turning 30 today!” Rosie wrote. “I can’t help but look back, reflect and smile on all that life has brought me, whilst looking forward to the future and feeling as if life is just about to begin… quite literally. Bye Bye 20’s you were hot, hello…

US tennis ace Serena Williams has announced she is 20 weeks pregnant with her first child – meaning she won her record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam singles title, at the Australian Open in January, while she was around eight weeks pregnant. This will be Serena’s first child with her fiancé Alexis Ohanian, 33, the co-founder of social news website Reddit. The couple announced their engagement last December, after almost two years of dating, with Serena, who turns 36 in September, sharing the happy news on Reddit and Alexis responding: “You made me the happiest man on the planet.” The tennis star, initially announced her baby news via Snapchat, posting a selfie showing her bump alongside the caption: “20 weeks”. Serena’s spokeswoman has since confirmed the reigning and seven-times Wimbledon champion is…

CATHERINE AND SUSAN ARE WELL-SUITED Showing off her age-defying beauty in a sleek white trouser suit and lacy bustier, Catherine Zeta-Jones was the darling of the red carpet in New York last week. The 47-year-old actress was attending a screening of the final part of her TV project Feud: Bette and Joan . Catherine, who plays Gone with the Wind actress Olivia de Havilland, opted for a three-piece Tom Ford suit paired with gold Christian Louboutin heels for the star-studded event, held in the Lincoln Center. Feud is a dramatisation of the real-life rivalry between Hollywood legends Bette Davis (played by Susan Sarandon) and Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) while they filmed 1962 movie What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?…

‘Our brief for Kate’s wedding was for timeless elegance. It was such an enormous honour’ She has often stolen the show and become something of a junior royal trendsetter in her adorable collection of pastel pink, baby blue and floral print dresses. So when Princess Charlotte fulfils her first official role, as bridesmaid to aunt Pippa Middleton on 20 May, the eyes of the world will be on the youngster as she joins her three-year-old pageboy brother Prince George to walk down the aisle behind the bride. And while speculation mounts over the style of wedding gown Pippa will choose for her big day, Charlotte’s dress is also keenly anticipated. Nicki Macfarlane, the children’s party and occasionwear designer, is perfectly qualified to venture a guess: she created four fairytale bridesmaid…

With their double-breasted jackets, polished shoes, smart ties and neat hair, Princes William, eight, and Harry, six, are proper little gentlemen as they follow in the Princess of Wales’s footsteps. In the latest in our series of iconic photos to mark the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death, the proud mum, stylish in a pink suit with purple trim, takes her two little boys to St Paul’s Cathedral on 25 October 1990. The trio were attending a memorial service to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Blitz, in memory of the 1,002 firefighters who died during the bombing. Harry looks particularly proud to be joining his mother and brother for his first official function.…

‘My relationship with Ryan puts all my others to shame’ When HELLO! catches up with Louise Thompson, she’s in the middle of a spot of chaos. “I’m having a big clear-out of all my stuff because Ryan’s moving in with me. So I need to make space,” the Made in Chelsea star happily tells us. Ryan is her on-and off-screen love, fitness trainer Ryan Libbey, and Louise says: “I just turned 27 and hopefully this is my forever relationship.” The couple haven’t been shy about flaunting their love – and their gym-honed physiques. Louise has Instagrammed several shots of her and her hunky beau striking impressive poses in exotic locations such as Dubai and the Maldives (below right). Modelling a new range of bikinis seems a logical next step and…

Former daytime chatshow host Trisha Goddard, 59, is a judge on this week’s Good Morning Britain’s Health Star Awards. The London-born mum of two is now based in the US. What’s the last thing you watched on catch-up? Taboo . Some might say I watch it on catch-up because I can pause shots of Tom Hardy looking manly. Who would play you in a soap opera of your life? Wouldn’t it be great if there were so many British black actresses I’d be spoilt for choice? I’m going to say Thandie Newton or Naomie Harris. Who’d be your ideal leading man? Tom Hardy. I couldn’t possibly tell you why because my daughters might read this. Which reality show would you most like to take part in and why? One I…

‘I try to show who I am rather than just be a mannequin. Like today, which has a theatrical element to it’ Camilla Rutherford loves hats. But the model, actress and mother of four seldom gets round to wearing them. “I have a couple of felt ones and sometimes I think I’ll put them on but then don’t because I feel too self-conscious,” she says. “I don’t really like to draw too much attention to myself when I walk into a room.” There’s no danger of Camilla, 40, going unnoticed as she models some exquisite headwear for our exclusive shoot to celebrate Royal Ascot in June, one of the highlights of the social calendar. The meeting is as well known for its hats as its horses, and the Royal Ascot…

Shanina Shaik first came to the attention of the modelling world in 2008 following a stint on Australian TV show Make Me a Supermodel. But the Melbourne-born catwalk star, of Lithuanian, Pakistani and Saudi Arabian heritage, who now lives in Florida with her fiancé DJ Ruckus, has been in the industry from a much earlier age. From childrenswear catalogue model to Victoria’s Secret Angel, Shanina’s enviable physique and ethereal beauty have helped to cement her long and illustrious modelling career. This year, at 26, she’s heading for the big screen, making her film debut in Alex Kurtzman’s The Mummy, starring alongside Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe. As she showcases the new beachwear collection for high-street giant Next, she talks to HELLO! about her style and fashion must-haves, top…

Cleansing balms can be traced back to the multi-layered skincare approach popular in Korea and Japan. But it was Eve Lom who first told us Brits to ditch the soap and water when she brought her balm to the UK in 1985. Today’s balms are double cleansing; a balm dissolves make-up and grime and a second cleanser – a milk or gel – leaves skin thoroughly clean and hydrated. This two-step approach can dislodge oil-based daily sun protectors and long-lasting, waterproof eye make-up and foundation – which are often too heavy for a rinse-off cleanser. But is double cleansing for you? Yes, if you wear heavy oil-based makeup, waterproof mascara or liner and a daily cream with an SPF, and certainly if your skin is dry and gets irritated by…

Calcium is the main mineral component of bones but you can only absorb calcium from your diet in the presence of vitamin D Bone broth might be a fashionable food of the moment but bone health is far from a sexy subject. When Gwyneth Paltrow developed osteopenia – low bone density – in her mid-30s, it shocked people as she seemed too young, but it raised awareness of the disease: like Sally Field, Britt Ekland and the Duchess of Cornwall, Gwyneth talked openly about how poor bone density can lead to osteoporosis – weakened, brittle bones. Yet more than half of all women age 50 and older have low bone density; a further one in five age 50 and older have osteoporosis. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence…

Mia Tindall could hardly contain her excitement as she whizzed round on a chair swing, watched by her doting dad. It was all the fun of the fair for the Queen’s high-spirited great-granddaughter as she enjoyed an action-packed day out at the Burnham Market International Horse Trials in Norfolk, where her mum Zara was taking part in the three-day event. The boisterous youngster, who was sporting a jazzy polka-dot sequin top, fearlessly slid down an inflatable slide and cheekily poked out her tongue at dad Mike as she took a spin on a teacup ride. “She loves being outside and is full of life,” Mike, 38, told HELLO! at his last annual charity golf tournament. “She also loves fairground rides and trampolines. We have one in the back garden and…

The annual bash has become just as famous for its fashion as its musical performers Sunny skies, palm trees, good music and a host of A-listers can only mean one thing – Coachella. The annual festival, held across two weekends in California, has become just as famous for its fashion as its musical performers and this year was no exception. The first weekend saw Victoria’s Secret Angels descend in style on the desert venue, wowing with their outfits as they threw a 24th birthday party for Josephine Skriver, one of their glamorous model army, in the exclusive Angel Oasis. Fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio made the weekend a family affair by taking along her daughter Anja. The eight-year-old even took to the stage at one point, accompanied by her musician dad…

From Olympic Games to Olympic Dame, Jessica Ennis-Hill can now boast experience of both. The heptathlete, who claimed gold at London 2012 and silver in Rio last year before announcing her retirement from competitive sport in October, received her latest honour from the Duke of Cambridge at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Husband Andy Hill (left, with Dame Jessica), her proud grandparents and mother Alison Powell joined the Palace trip and Jessica also shared her “fantastic day” with fans on social media. Speaking after the ceremony, she said: “Just to hear the national anthem in this kind of moment again is really special.” Currently pregnant with her second child, she explained that while her two-year-old son Reggie was “a bit too young” to attend, she was thrilled to have…

‘I’ve always been different. I mean, I’m a girl and I like being a girl, but I’ve just never been into [fashion] like they have. I think I get that from my dad. I’m more of a Jenner than a Kardashian’ Model Kendall Jenner (left) on what sets her apart from Kim, Kourtney and Khloë ‘Meeting someone new, sharing those experiences, it’s the best [thing] ever. So thank you’ Harry Styles sings the praises of his ex Taylor Swift while penning his new album ‘I can’t talk about it… What happens on the boat, stays on the boat’ Oprah Winfrey is discreet about her yachting holiday with former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle ‘One person said to us, “There are too many girls in this.” I was…

‘I’m now able to take my private life seriously’ Prince Harry Many are wondering if Meghan was instrumental in his decision to talk publicly about his feelings In recent years Prince Harry has made no secret of the fact that he would love to have a family of his own. Now he has revealed he is finally ready to take his private life seriously. In a candid interview with a British newspaper last week, the 32-year-old Prince, who spent a romantic Easter weekend in Toronto with his US-born actress girlfriend Meghan Markle, said he is finally in a “good place” after seeking therapy to come to terms with the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and: “I have now been able to take my work seriously,…

It was always going to take someone a bit special to knock man-of-the-moment Ed Sheeran off his perch at No. 1 in the charts. He had been sitting pretty for 13 weeks and yes, obviously we all love Ed but you can have too much of a good thing – and one artist with nine songs in the Top Ten is definitely too much of a good thing in my book. So thank goodness for Harry Styles. His debut single Sign of the Times shot straight to No. 1 last week. Finally, someone else is vying for Ed’s crown. If anyone was going to do it, it was Harry. For a start, he was a member of the biggest boyband on the planet, One Direction. And, cementing his status as…

So is bone broth good for your bone health? Well, yes and no. It is not a good source of calcium: it contains typically 4mg per cup compared to 291mg for full-fat milk. However, it does contain key amino acids that are needed to manufacture collagen – found in bone-anchoring cartilage, tendons and the bones themselves. It makes sense simply to eat a diet rich in calcium, from dairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, leafy green vegetables, cereals fortified with calcium or small tinned fish such as sardines and anchovies that contain their bones. Try:…
