‘I was looking for somewhere with a more relaxed pace of life compared to London’ Afsi Although she loved the social whirl of living in London – the glittering art show openings and nights at the opera and ballet – fashionista and philanthropist Afsi Moshiri found herself yearning for a more laid-back pace of life, with sunshine and sweeping views of the Mediterranean. So she moved to the glamorous French Riviera resort of Cap Ferrat where, looking out over the sparkling azure waters, she found all that and more. “I was looking for somewhere with a more relaxed pace of life compared to London,” says the Iranian-born businesswoman, as she and her jewellery designer daughter Sheeva take in the coastal panorama through her belle époque-style villa’s generous windows. ‘I wanted…

In or out of the saddle, Zara Tindall’s appearance at an equestrian fixture is always an event. Along for the ride at this year’s Wellington Horse Trials in Hampshire, the Olympic silver medal-winning eventer and former eventing world champion was spotted walking the course (right and below) before taking part in the cross country on her horse Watkins, the pair later securing fourth position in their section. Making the most of the Bank Holiday weekend weather in shorts and shades, Zara looked totally relaxed. A Wellington regular, she also took part in last year’s competition where, despite having given birth to her youngest daughter Lena two months before, she won the advanced eight- and nine-year-olds section on Class Affair. The 38-year-old mum of two – she and husband Mike also…

With her own successful swimwear range and a knack for creating the perfect poolside pose, Elizabeth Hurley knows how to make a splash on Instagram. Heading once more into the beachwear, the actress, model and businesswoman was making waves as she showcased a series of Elizabeth Hurley Beach bikinis, looking fabulous from top to bottoms. Hinting at her location, the 54-year-old captioned one image (left): “Le weekend #LA,” while another post, featuring a shot taken on a pink inflatable (above), read simply: “Bliss.” Looking a picture of health, Elizabeth is unlikely to lie low for long, however. She is soon to start filming US TV series Runaways , in which she plays sorceress Morgan le Fay, and will no doubt find time for fitness, too. “I like running around,” she…

Always one of the most dazzling events in the film industry’s calendar, the Venice International Film Festival was true to its starry reputation as Hollywood’s finest flocked to the opening week. Leading the parade, Scarlett Johansson lived up to her name in a red-hot Celine gown, her eye-catching tattoos adding a modern touch to the classic look. The actress stole the show at the premiere of her new film, Marriage Story , appearing alongside co-stars Adam Driver and Laura Dern. Scarlett also opened up about her feelings that she was “fated” to appear in the Netflix production, which is about the end of a marriage, as filming took place while she was going through her own divorce from Romain Dauriac. Flying the flag for Britain at the film’s premiere, actress…

The Duke of York has said it was “a mistake and an error” to have spent time with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein after the US financier’s release from prison. A statement released by Buckingham Palace last week said: “I am eager to clarify the facts to avoid further speculation… During the time I knew him, I saw him infrequently and probably no more than only once or twice a year… At no stage during the limited time I spent with him did I see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his arrest and conviction. I have said previously that it was a mistake and an error to see him after his release in 2010 and I can only reiterate my regret that I was…

‘I have never felt more special than the moment I first tried on my wedding dress’ She is one of the world’s best-loved singers whose fame rocketed after she sang at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding reception in 2011, and when Ellie Goulding tied the knot with art dealer Caspar Jopling last weekend, her own wedding was a sparkling regal affair, with a star-studded guest list that was a roll-call of royalty, A-listers and Hollywood stars. Crowds of onlookers, who had gathered hours ahead of the ceremony, cheered as an array of famous guests arrived in gleaming white coaches and chauffeur-driven cars, before entering beneath the white flower-adorned stone arch of magnificent York Minster. It was a royal hat-trick as Sarah, Duchess of York, waved enthusiastically to onlookers…

‘A generation has grown up not knowing the living Diana, but her memory and legacy continue’ In the sorrowful days of heartbreak and mourning following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, one of the most telling tributes was an inscription stuck to the wrought-iron gates of Kensington Palace. It was a line from the 18th-century Scottish poet Thomas Campbell, which read: “To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.” It rings so true. It is a scarcely believable 22 years since that fateful night in a Paris underpass in August 1997. While a whole generation has grown up not knowing the living Diana, her memory and her legacy have continued – notably and properly in the lives and work of her boys, the…

She may have made her name writing songs about heartbreak, but Taylor Swift was feeling the love as she put on a colourful show at the MTV Video Music Awards. The pop princess enjoyed a big night at last week’s star-studded ceremony in New Jersey, providing an energetic rainbow-themed performance of You Need to Calm Down – her new track, which also won her the evening’s biggest gong, Video Of The Year.

ALEX SCOTT Appearing on Strictly has long been a goal for England’s most successful and famous female footballer, Alex Scott. “Everyone knows this is the one show I’ve always wanted to do – I’m such a fan,” says the player turned pundit. “I’ve been wanting to do this for so long. I want to learn how to dance.” While friends were thrilled when it was announced Alex, 34, was going to be on the show – “My phone hasn’t stopped ringing” – one person in particular was especially delighted. “When I told my mum, she screamed on the phone,” she says. “She’s been trying to give me tips on what I should do – she’s worried about my posture and my hands.” Alex won 140 caps for the Lionesses and…

As much about set menus as set lists, the family- and foodie-friendly Big Feastival is ahead of the field when it comes to attracting A-listers – and this year was no exception. Hosted by the former Blur bassist Alex James on his Gloucestershire farm, the outdoor event saw 60,000 people, including Jodie Kidd, chef Raymond Blanc, TV presenter Caroline Flack and Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith rock up for what Alex called “a perfect summer weekend” of music, food and entertainment. Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington gave four-year-old daughter Summer her first taste of Feastival.

TV’s self-styled Mr Mean was looking more like Mr Lean as a slimmed-down Simon Cowell last week joined his partner Lauren Silverman and their five-year-old son Eric for a supermarket trip in Malibu (left). Since saying yes to a vegan diet and no to junk food, the talent-show judge is no longer the industry heavyweight he once was. The 59-year-old looked healthier than ever the following day, when all three hopped on their bikes for a ride in the California sun (above). After cutting out meat, dairy and also wheat and sugar last year, Simon has lost almost a stone and a half. The showbiz star began to make changes in the wake of his fall downstairs and subsequent hospital treatment in October 2017. The incident is said to have…

She recently launched a range of self-tanning products, but there was nothing faux about Vogue Williams’s glow as she relaxed at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, with husband Spencer Matthews and 11-month-old son Theo. Vogue seemed to be making the most of family time as she enjoyed a stroll with her beloved baby boy (left); headed down to the water’s edge for a dip with her two favourite men (above left); and soaked up the sun on dry land (above right). The short family break was Vogue’s last chance for a holiday before heading off to start work on a new project, which will see her separated from Theo for the first time. “I’ve only ever left him for one whole night and I cried on the way…

She says she has been “ugly” crying since taking her eldest child Maddox to university in South Korea, to begin his four-year degree. But Angelina Jolie knew exactly how to cheer herself up – by taking four of her six children to Disneyland. The Hollywood actress was spotted at the California amusement park with Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, going on rides including rollercoaster Space Mountain. The jaunt came amid a week of family outings, including dinner with 15-year-old Pax at a sushi restaurant in West Hollywood.

A few days after the Disney trip,…

‘He’s gone all vegan… vegan shepherd’s pie, vegan sausages, what’s that about? Is that the secret? I’ll have to look into that…’ Declan Donnelly (left) finds food for thought in Simon Cowell’s 2st weight loss ‘I’ve never been recognised in my industry. I’ve never been nominated for anything… Maybe they just think I’m the girl from Bring It On’ Kirsten Dunst reveals she’s tired of acting as an Oscar hopeful ‘My first thought was: “If you give this to Stephen Mulhern I’m having a row.” I love Stephen, but I’m not having that one’ Rylan Clark-Neal wasn’t going to let the Britain’s Got More Talent host magic his way to the role of Supermarket Sweep host ‘It’s all about having sex and feeling sad…’ Harry Styles gives Rolling Stone a…

Surrounded by her loved ones in the sanctuary of her favourite summer retreat, the Queen was all smiles as she headed to church last week. She was joined by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who smiled and waved for the cameras as they sat with Her Majesty in her Bentley on the way to Crathie Kirk at Balmoral, where well-wishers had gathered to greet the royals. Kate looked elegant in a navy herringbone trench coat by Guinea London over a peacock pattern dress by Michael Kors, topped with a Lock & Co hat and oak leaf earrings by Asprey. The Queen opted for a magenta floral dress and coat, matching hat with grey trim and a jewelled butterfly brooch for the Sunday service. The Prince of Wales and Duchess…

Lady Stewart ( Loose Women panellist and model Penny Lancaster), Peter Andre, Rio Ferdinand, Tom Daley and Millie Mackintosh are among celebrities sharing their own experiences in support of The Diana Award’s #Back2School campaign. “Just talking about the bullying, my hands are dripping,” says Penny. “It’s all encompassing, it’s like the darkest cloud and that’s all you’re focusing on. I just kind of stood there and took it and they said: Now who looks pretty?’” Singer and TV presenter Peter Andre remembers: “I was an outcast; I stuck out like you wouldn’t believe. The term they used in Australia at the time was wog’. I remember these kids tied me to a…

The key to model and actress Emily Ratajkowski’s look is a natural brow. “I don’t feel like a normal person unless my eyebrows are brushed up,” says the 28-year-old Gone Girl star. Emily likes to do her own make-up for the red carpet – “My husband [producer Sebastian Bear-McClard] calls it finger-painting… [my face] is like my own personal canvas,” she says. “I think my love of beauty comes from going to art school and my dad being a painter.”…

She has made a habit of living under the radar since the death of her husband David Bowie. And, in the years since the Ziggy Stardust star passed away in 2016, supermodel Iman has rarely been seen at public events. However, she made a high-profile arrival in Venice last week as she accepted an award for her humanitarian work.

‘The first years of her life were terrifying. Together we walked a tightrope between life and death’ ‘I’ll miss offering her my support as much as I’ll miss her rejection of it – because, of course, she knows best’ ‘Summer is starting to draw to a close and change, trepidation and anticipation hangs heavy in the air. It’s time for children up and down the country to return to school; for some to start a new one, but for others, perhaps most significantly of all, it’s time to leave home and head for university. As it happens, it’s a double whammy for me this year as my youngest, Malcolm, 11, faces the daunting task of starting secondary school – but it’s definitely the fact that my daughter Bo, 18, is…

Leomie Anderson is pleading with us not to try DIY dermaplaning. “Please do not shave your face using eyebrow razors or anything like that – so many people have told me they did it themselves after I tweeted about trying the treatment.” If you don’t know what dermaplaning is, it involves using a small scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin and unwanted peach fuzz. It’s one best left to the experts – another tip we’ve picked up in our short time with South London beauty addict Leomie. “I used to be one of those people who would use any old cream I could find but now I have a proper routine that really works for my skin,” she adds. First scouted at 14 on her way home from school,…

When we had to do a dance routine [in rehearsals] I felt like I needed gas and air,” she laughs. “I won Strictly almost ten years ago now, so I hope people aren’t expecting too much; I haven’t remembered anything.” But the 36-year-old says her new role is the perfect step back after she and her fiancé, Norwegian chiropractor Marius Jensen, 35, welcomed their…
