‘It was very much her dress and I felt very proud that she came to me’ After creating three stunning dresses seen at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, fashion designer Stella McCartney has spoken for the first time about the most famous one of all: the dazzling white silk crepe halterneck gown Meghan wore to the evening reception at Frogmore House. Speaking after the launch of her new flagship store in London, she told the BBC the dress was a collaboration with the bride. “We worked together,” she said. “When you come to a wedding, you don’t just go: Here, this is what you’re wearing.’ That person has to feel like a million dollars. They need to feel like they own it. “It was very much…

Making waves in the South of France, Christine Lampard showed off her neat baby bump as she strolled on the beach with her husband, football manager Frank, 39, last week (above). The Loose Women presenter, who is expecting her first child in the autumn, looked brimful of style (top right) and shared a holiday snap on Instagram, describing the trip as “a few days of sunshine and mocktails”. It was back to work at the end of last week, however, as Christine, 39, updated the Loose Women panel on her pregnancy and how she’d prefer the baby’s sex to remain a surprise. “There aren’t enough surprises in this world any more,” she said. “I think: Let’s find out on the day.’” Frank, however, who has daughters Luna, 12, and Isla,…

Formula 1 presenter Natalie Pinkham took a pit stop last week to gather celebrities, sports stars and royalty to honour the memory of a young Romanian orphan. The Queen’s grandson Peter Phillips (with Natalie, left), Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Holly Branson and husband Freddie Andrewes (right), TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher and actress Susie Amy (together, bottom right), were among the stars attending the End the Silence fundraising gala dinner at Abbey Road Studios in North London. The night, including an auction, raised £600,000 for Hope and Homes for Children, an organisation that works to remove children from orphanages and rehome them with families. Natalie became a patron of the charity after working in a Romanian orphanage as a student and befriending a three-year-old girl called Mirela. A decade later she…

David proved he is still the captain of his wife’s heart in a show of love With a touch of her hand, Victoria Beckham gave the clearest sign yet that she and husband David are still very much in love – and not on the brink of divorce, as rumours of a split erupted on social media last week. Stepping out together for the first time since the royal wedding, the couple were all smiles as they appeared alongside dapper UK Vogue editor Edward Enninful at the catwalk show for menswear label Kent & Curwen, in which 43-year-old David has a stake. At one point, the former England football skipper proved he is still the captain of his wife’s heart in a show of love when he gently placed his…

‘One thing I’m not is humble any more. I’m sick of being humble. I really am. “So sorry I’m rich, so sorry I’m married to a movie star, so sorry I’m not so bad looking”’ Swansea-born Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones isn’t sorry for going places ‘Once I went out for a walk with my dog and realised I’d left her lead behind, so I had to take off my bra behind the hedge to lead her’ Best-selling novelist Jilly Cooper on finding support in unlikely places ‘My son is, like, a technological genius. He ordered a dog the other day… he charged $5,000 on Amazon’ US diva Mariah Carey sings the praises of her seven-year-old son Moroccan ‘Just all of the food. I welcome all of the food’ Homeland star…

CATE AND HER GIRL GANG MAKE A SPLASH IN LONDON Putting on a stylish display of girl power, the stars of Ocean’s 8 hit the red carpet for the European premiere of their new film last week. Diamonds singer Rihanna made a show-stopping arrival (left) at London’s Leicester Square, flashing her fashion credentials in a gold metallic Poiret gown, while Helena Bonham Carter flew the flag for UK design in Vivienne Westwood as she posed alongside a Zuhair Murad-wearing Sandra Bullock (above). Sandra, who plays gang leader Debbie Ocean, later cuddled up to boyfriend Bryan Randall in a rare public appearance as a couple. Cate Blanchett (far left), who wore edgy Louis Vuitton, told reporters how much she’d enjoyed working with the…

LADIES WHO LUNCH FOR A GOOD CAUSE Tamara Beckwith was on fine form as she joined other glamorous women at the third Nadezda Summer Ladies Lunch, where an auction helped raise £29,000 for the charity, which supports sick and vulnerable children in Russia. After a champagne reception and lunch at London’s Mortons Members Club, the guests – including Monaco’s ambassador to the UK, Evelyne Greta – tucked into slices of a giant red velvet cake before leaving with Selfridges goody bags. THE STARS ALIGN AT REFUGEE CONCERT Hoping for Palestine, a benefit concert in aid of Palestinian refugee children, drew VIPs including Lily Cole and Eva Herzigova to a sold-out Roundhouse in London. John Bishop hosted a night of performances from Patti Smith and The Libertines – during which Pete…

ROYAL enclosure Dresses and skirts should fall below the knee or longer, while all dresses and tops should have straps of at least one inch. Hats are a must, although a headpiece with a solid base of 4in or more in diameter is an acceptable alternative. WINDSOR enclosure Guests will be able to enjoy a close-up view of the royal procession, so be sure to dress to impress. A hat, headpiece or fascinator should be worn at all times. QUEEN ANNE enclosure The jumpsuit was added to the list of Royal Enclosure-approved items last year, making it a fashion-forward and no doubt popular choice for other enclosures in 2018. VILLAGE enclosure Wedge heels for the grass and a sturdier hat in case the weather takes a turn for the worse…

SONG SAA Koh Rong, Cambodia THE RESORT Straddling two islands in Cambodia’s Koh Rong archipelago, this heart-soaring stay has a beauty all of its own and comes with laudable eco credentials to boot. The thatched villas – some amid the thick tangle of greenery; others suspended above the gin-clear water – are cool and calm in equal measure, each with its own private deck and dipping pool. There’s more to do here than sprawl out on the sand – although, given the pure, unadulterated allure of the beaches, no one could blame you for doing exactly that. But guests can also join activities such as Buddhist blessing ceremonies or take a moonlit dip with bioluminescent plankton. THE SPA Taking place in a number of little niches hidden within the jungly…

GYM BABE A year after giving birth, former Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead is a picture of fitness. Her personal trainer Tyrone Brennand tells HELLO! how new mums can get moving and stay motivated. Tyrone, how much should you exercise after having a baby? “If your doctor gives you the all-clear at the six to eight-week appointment, you can start. But I wouldn’t advise going to the gym every day too soon. Start off with home workouts rather than strenuous training routines, then you could try a post-natal class. This often helps with motivation as other mothers are going through the same thing.” How can I stay motivated? “Set small goals that are achievable, or find someone who’s in the same situation as you and work on goals together.…

Looking happy and relaxed, the Duchess of Cambridge slipped into her favourite role – playing mum – as she enjoyed a family day out with her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Seen in a captivating set of pictures, off-duty Kate relaxed in the sunshine as she shared treasured moments with the boy who will one day be King and his three-year-old sister. The enchanting glimpse into royal family life came seven weeks after the arrival of Prince Louis, the Cambridges’ third child, and just a day after the Duke and Duchess, George and Charlotte had appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace alongside the Queen at Trooping the Colour. Kate looked radiant and relaxed in a cotton dress by Zara with Russell and Bromley coconut espadrille wedges…

As the luminaries of the classical music world turned out for the Classic Brit Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall last week, stars including Katherine Jenkins, Myleene Klass and Amanda Holden struck the right note in their choice of glamorous outfits. But the evening belonged to cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason, whose performance at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding has made him one of the world’s hottest new music stars and who enjoyed two triumphs – Male Artist of the Year and the Critics’ Choice award. The 19-year-old’s life has been a whirlwind since receiving a call from Meghan Markle asking him to play at her wedding, and Sheku looked quite at home on the red carpet alongside classical and crossover heavyweights including Andrea Bocelli, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe.…

Two and a half years after announcing his separation from former wife Jessica Michibata, Jenson Button is gearing up for a second go around the marriage track. The former Formula 1 world champion announced that he and girlfriend Brittny Ward are ready to wed by sharing a photo (right) in which an engagement ring is clearly visible on her finger. “Soon to be Mrs Button,” read the caption on Instagram. The couple started dating in March 2016, their romance coming in the wake of official confirmation that Jenson’s yearlong marriage to Jessica was over. “Jenson and Jessica have decided to go their separate ways and it is very amicable. There is no one else involved,” said a spokesperson at the time. Brittny, 27, has since been at 38-year-old Jenson’s side…

Back from scaling Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu for Barnardo’s, Lydia Bright has turned her attention from high altitude to high fashion, doing her bit to help the next generation of designers. Accompanied by boyfriend Lee Cronin (left), the former The Only Way is Essex star attended the recent Graduate Fashion Week Gala Award Show at the Old Truman Brewery in London’s Shoreditch. Lydia looked her glam best at the event – in its 27th year – ditching her walking boots and rucksack in favour of a design from Bella Sorella, the award-winning fashion line she set up with sister Georgia. After mingling with guests including designers Diane von Furstenberg, Henry Holland and Julien Macdonald at a VIP drinks reception, she shared the frow with Lee, her car mechanic boyfriend of a…

When the Princess of Pop catches up with a real-life Prince it’s bound to be a glittering affair. And that was certainly the case at a reception last week for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity at Buckingham Palace, where the Duke of Cambridge chatted with Kylie Minogue (left). The singer – who turned 50 last month – shimmered in a silver gown and over 11 carats in total of De Beers diamonds (right). The event was a thank you for supporters of the charity, with guests including Lady Helen Taylor (above, behind Kylie and Prince William), actress Olivia Colman, tennis star Grigor Dimitrov and actor Tom Hiddleston. Praising the work of the London hospital, William, its president since 2007, said in a speech: “The Royal Marsden ensures that doctors, nurses…

LESLIE GRANTHAM EastEnders ‘Dirty Den’ dies Ex- EastEnders star Leslie Grantham has died aged 71. The actor, best known for playing lovable rogue Dennis Watts – dubbed “Dirty Den” in the tabloids – in the BBC1 soap, had been living in Bulgaria but was being treated in hospital in the UK for cancer before he died. Close friends are said to have been at his bedside. Leslie played Den from the first episode in 1985 until 1989, and again from 2003 to 2005. More than 30 million viewers watched the 1986 Christmas Day episode in which he handed wife Angie divorce papers. Anita Dobson, who played the luckless Angie, said she was “shocked and saddened” by the news. Letitia Dean, who plays Den’s daughter Sharon, said: “He never…

‘I haven’t finished yet. I want to carry on forever and I’m not going to give up on my dream’ She helped manage the mayhem on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast , co-hosted BBC’s annual telethon Children in Need for ten years and now presents her own live show on BBC Radio London on Sunday afternoons. But as Gaby Roslin prepares to mark 32 years working in TV – much of it live – it’s surprising to learn that the effervescent broadcaster with a gift for ad-libbing describes herself as shy. “Desperately shy,” she insists. “If I’m working I’m okay, but I’m not any good at house parties. When I was first going out with my husband David, he said to me: So-and-so is having a party.’ And I told…

Jane Taylor London’s hats have been worn to Royal Ascot by the likes of the Duchess of Cambridge, Zara Tindall and the Countess of Wessex (left). Here she shares her top tips for how to pick the perfect titfer. 1. Balance your proportions. If you are tall, you can wear a big brimmed hat but make sure it doesn’t give you any extra height. A small or slanted piece will flatter an oval-shaped face, while rounded hats with a veil beautifully frame square-shaped faces. 2. If you are wearing a big skirt, wear a wide-brimmed hat to balance out the outfit. Go for smaller and more tailored styles with a suit or dress. 3. A race meet, especially Royal Ascot, is a time when you can really wear a statement…

Come summer, I love entertaining outside, with the vintage linen cloth thrown over the table, the casually picked bunch of flowers, the assortment of pretty china and, after dark, plenty of magical candle light. KEEP IT SIMPLE Simplicity and seasonal ingredients are the secret of successful outdoor entertaining. When the sun is out, no one wants to spend time in the kitchen. Keep everything from laying the table to mixing the drinks simple. DRESSING THE TABLE Although not essential, a tablecloth sets the tone. I favour vintage linen sheets overlaid with remnants or lengths of coloured or patterned fabrics. Narrow lengths make excellent runners. I prefer linen napkins, rather than paper. SAVE YOUR LEGS So you don’t have to keep running into the house, set up a little table next…

They have remained close ever since their short-lived romance two years ago, but speculation about just how close Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are was further fuelled last week when the pair were photographed together on his hotel balcony in Miami (left). They later flew from Miami to New York, where they were spotted heading out to dinner at Cecconi’s in Brooklyn. The singer and model appeared very at ease with one another, and further fanning the flames was Hailey’s choice of jewellery: a diamond band on her engagement finger (above). However the ring has been an almost permanent fixture in Hailey’s Instagram shots for some months. And while a source told US Weekly the pair (right in 2014) were “hooking up again”, Hailey recently told the The Sunday Times…

As parents of three daughters, Yasmin and Simon Le Bon are used to seeing their Girls On Film, but now the family has welcomed a boy – in the shape of the couple’s first grandchild, Taro. The newborn made his social media debut last week after mum Saffron and dad Benjamin Compston shared a photo (left) with well-wishers. “He came into the world with a big sigh,” Saffron wrote on Instagram. “Beautiful in every way. You caught us all by surprise being early, but we couldn’t wait to meet you! Welcome to our love tribe.” Among the first to congratulate Saffron and musician Benjamin was her big sister Amber, who was at the birth and later wrote on social media: “You could not have made me a happier Aunt, I…

There was a changing of the royal guard at Buckingham Palace when the Duke of York attended his first Trooping the Colour since taking over as colonel of the Grenadier Guards, following his father the Duke of Edinburgh’s retirement last year. Thrilled to mark her dad’s debut, Prince Andrew’s youngest daughter Princess Eugenie last week shared a photograph (above) on her Instagram account of her father wearing his ceremonial uniform and a wide smile, taken inside a private area of Buckingham Palace. Eugenie (below left, in the Trooping procession along The Mall) described the event – held to mark the Queen’s official birthday – as “a wonderful and proud day”. In another first, Andrew made his official Trooping debut on horseback (below right), after reportedly taking riding lessons in the…

Angelina Jolie could lose custody of her children if she doesn’t improve their relationship with their dad, Brad Pitt, a US judge has said. Court documents filed last week in California show that the judge declared: “It is critical that each of [the six] children have a healthy and strong relationship with their father and mother… Jolie must allow Pitt to maintain and repair that. If the minor children remain closed down to their father and depending on the circumstances surrounding this condition, it may result in a reduction of the time they spend with [Jolie] and may result in the Court ordering primary physical custody to [Pitt].” The couple filed for divorce in 2016. They have six children: Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, nine-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox,…

‘It’s great to see Pippa and to celebrate our success’ Millie Knight Pippa Middleton combined her two passions of sport and charitable work last week when she attended a reception to celebrate the outstanding achievements of some of our best athletes. Wearing a stylish blue silk jumpsuit and white jacket, Pippa was one of the 150 guests enjoying drinks and canapes at the Guildhall Art Gallery in London. They had gathered to pay tribute to the Paralympians who took part in the Winter Games in South Korea, officially the most successful in the British team’s history with a haul of seven medals. “Congratulations go to the whole team, including everyone who supported them along the way,” said all-action Pippa, 34, who is expecting her first baby and looked…

Sienna Miller donned a summer favourite to run errands in Manhattan, sporting a smocked blue and white gingham dress from high street hero H&M for a fresh and easy look. The actress teamed the frock with her trusty yellow Gray Matters pumps and a white Trotteur bag from Céline. Tousled beachy locks, a pop of pink blush and acetate frame sunnies completed her off-duty look.…

Tabitha v Emily British designer Tabitha Webb is keeping her Ascot outfit as colourful as a jockey’s silks and as stress-free as possible I always feel a certain amount of dread when Ascot approaches as I find dressing for it very stressful. And the only reason I find it stressful is because everyone talks about it so much and that always makes me anxious. Because really, how hard can it be? All it requires is a pretty dress and a hat. It sounds simple but for some reason, it never is. So this year I’ve decided the easiest way to approach it is with a more casual feel. Nothing structured and fitted, nothing bought for the occasion, just a gorgeous dress that I love and will wear for lots of…

EXPLORE Royal Ascot is the most anticipated racing event on the summertime social calendar, but the landscapes surrounding the racecourse offer plenty for the horse-averse. The woodland pathways bordering Virginia Water lake (above) in Windsor Great Park are perfect for a bike ride, while keen golfers can practise their swing on the 18-hole championship courses at the Wentworth Club.
