KELLY CLARKSON IS A FASHION HIT AT THE BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS There were a few changes to this year’s Billboard Music Awards – and not all of them were due to the global health crisis. Hosting the annual ceremony, which took place at the Dolby Auditorium in Los Angeles minus the usual live audience, singer Kelly Clarkson (left) showcased no fewer than seven dazzling onstage outfits. “It’s not May and we’re not in Las Vegas but the show tonight is going to be unforgettable,” she promised fans ahead of the event, which was broadcast live. On Instagram afterwards she revealed: “Dang! It felt so good to be back on the @BBMAs stage!” Also performing on the night were Alicia Keys, Icon Award recipient Garth Brooks and John Legend, who dedicated…

Carla Bruni’s music studio in the heart of Paris is a cheerful reminder of a remarkable life – and a career that began more than three decades ago. Covering every square inch of its walls are hundreds of photographs of her as a supermodel. Two guitars hang from the wall behind her, testament to her new life as a successful songwriter and singer. As we talk on Zoom, France’s former First Lady – wearing a chic blue cashmere roll-neck jumper and with her hair loose – pans her laptop’s camera around to offer us a 360-degree look around. Many of the photographs are Polaroids or other candid shots of Carla and her friends and family over the years. But what is abundantly clear is how much they mean to her.…

One year on from their historic tour of Pakistan, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have reconnected with children they met there through a virtual game of Pictionary. William and Kate watched via video call from Kensington Palace as pupils from the Islamabad Model College for Girls drew pictures. “Is it a wedding?” asked the Duchess – who wore a kurta – trying to identify the first picture. “Birthday?” suggested Prince William, correctly. “Very good,” said Kate, “That’s a really hard one.” William added: “I’m glad you guys are drawing and we’re not having to draw. You’re much better.” After recognising more pictures, the couple were asked: “Do you like drawing?” “Yes, definitely,” William told the girls. “We both like a little bit of drawing. Catherine is very good, I…

‘It’s hugely important that celebrities set an example. To be able to use the power of these voices is so valuable’ Bringing together glamour and sustainability, the Green Carpet Fashion Awards added a timely twist for 2020 and presented its first virtual ceremony from the Teatro alla Scala in Milan in Italy. Not even Covid-19 could stop the A-listers promoting green fashion, sharing photos and videos of themselves looking stunning in a variety of ecofriendly outfits. Leading the way was singer Ellie Goulding, whose emerald-green Ralph & Russo gown sported 150 ethically sourced Zambian emeralds to make her one of the belles of the virtual ball. “Ellie and I have worked together before,” Livia Firth, who co-hosted and produced the event with her company Eco-Age, tells HELLO! . “She is…

Having another person involved in your exercise regime has been proven to boost your motivation and help you work out that little bit harder to your optimum. Exercise releases endorphins, which make us feel positive, and those feelings can spill over to those we’re with.

Thank you’ With their arms around one another, actor Dominic West and his wife Catherine FitzGerald delivered a show of unity last week as they posed for photographs outside their home in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The couple kissed for the cameras, intent on showing the world that their marriage was in good shape despite the publication of pictures showing Les Misérables actor Dominic enjoying time with actress Lily James on a visit to Rome. Catherine carried a note written by her husband and signed by both, which she left at the boundary of their property for the waiting media. “Our marriage is strong and we’re very much together. Thank you,” it read. Lily – whose latest film, Rebecca , is out now – and Dominic will soon…

There’s a certain intimacy to these photographs of Dawn French. Whether it’s a knowing smile to the camera, throwing her head back in laughter or striking a silly pose, the comedy actress looks natural and uninhibited. The reason, she explains, is because her daughter Billie took the pictures, which they have chosen to share exclusively with HELLO! . “I think these photos are special because there’s a relationship in them,” says Dawn of the portraits, taken at her home in Fowey, Cornwall during lockdown. “I love my daughter more than I love anyone in the world, so when somebody like that is taking your photo it’s an extraordinary experience.” A skilled photographer, Billie, 29, takes pictures of her family all the time, says Dawn, 63, who decided to use some…

Brightening up a drizzly autumn day, the Duchess of Cornwall visited South London last week to find out how horse power is helping the capital’s children in need. “A little rain never hurt anybody,” she said, smiling from beneath her transparent Fulton umbrella at the Ebony Horse Club in Brixton. “And who could refuse these gorgeous horses?” Camilla, 73, is president of the inner-city club, which has helped hundreds of children during the coronavirus pandemic via its breakfast and after-school clubs – and also provided essential provisions such as bread and beans to 80 local children a week. Claudia Buchanan, a volunteer at the site, told her: “This club is not just such a central part of this community, but there are young people who come from all over London…

BINKY FELSTEAD Opens up about miscarriage during lockdown Former Made in Chelsea star Binky Felstead has spoken about suffering an early miscarriage this summer, sharing the news in an emotional post on Instagram. “Today would have been my 18 week mark, but sadly we had an early miscarriage just before 12 weeks,” she wrote. “Not only was this heartbreaking for us, but it also came as such a shock to me. I hadn’t realised until then how blessed I was with having such a relatively straightforward pregnancy with India – I’ll admit I was naive enough to assume the next one would be as straightforward.” Binky, who is mum to three-year-old India with former co-star Josh “JP” Patterson, announced her engagement to Max Fredrik Darnton last month after 19 months…

Sharing the moment he told six-year-old Anaíya he would be on this year’s series, the former American football player tells HELLO! : “I was trying to keep it calm, sitting next to her on the couch at home. I was waiting for the response. She looked at me then started this big smile. I knew then that this is going to be something special.” It is Anaíya, his child with former Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, who inspired him to take part. She was too young to watch the National Football League (NFL) star play so, now retired from the game, Jason, 42, wanted to take on something that he…

Set in one of our most stylish eras and starring Lily James, the new film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s compelling 1938 novel Rebecca has been hotly anticipated. It’s not only Lily’s powerful performance in the leading role that delivers, but also the timelessly elegant costumes that add to the romance and drama. “It’s an iconic story, a psychological thriller and so evocative,” says the film’s costume designer Julian Day, a Bafta Awards nominee who has been acclaimed for his work on the biopics Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman. A bonus was having a perfect leading lady to dress, he adds. “Lily is amazing. She’s like a chameleon. I’ve never seen anyone put on clothes and inhabit them so well and really show them off to their best.” Made by Netflix…

With three children of her own, the Duchess of Cambridge has experienced the highs and lows of pregnancy and childbirth. And hearing a mother describe the loss of her baby left her visibly moved on a visit to Imperial College London last week. Clare Worgan told Kate how her daughter Alice was stillborn in September 2017 and how, despite the devastation of losing her, she went on to become a bereavement specialist to support others facing the same heartbreak. The Duchess was at the Institute of Reproductive and Developmental Biology, part of the charity Tommy’s National Centre for Miscarriage Research, to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week. Clare, 39, said of Alice: “When she was born, she was absolutely perfect. Her birth was literally the best thing that ever happened to…

Actress Keira Knightley has pulled out of her upcoming drama for Apple TV+ over concerns with childcare during the coronavirus pandemic. Production on the costume drama The Essex Serpent has now been halted weeks before it was due to start as producers search for a new actress to play the lead character Cora. “Keira had to unfortunately pull out of The Essex Serpent due to family reasons,” said a spokeswoman for the 35-year-old actress, mum to daughters Edie, five, and one-year-old Delilah with musician husband James Righton. “As Covid cases increase in the UK and additional lockdown and restriction rules are potentially imposed, with so many unknowns, there wasn’t a comfortable scenario for Keira that could be put in place for an extended period of childcare required for the four-and-a-half-month…

When Jacqueline Boatswain arrived in Prague to join the cast filming the second series of Carnival Row this summer, one familiar face was costar Orlando Bloom – and not just because he’s globally recognised. “Bizarrely, Orlando and I have godchildren in common,” the actress, dancer and West End star tells HELLO! in an exclusive interview. “My best friend married his best friend and they had children years ago. On set, I would fill Orlando in on how our godchildren are doing. He is a really lovely guy and terribly kind.” Starring alongside Orlando and supermodel turned actress Cara Delevingne – who play the leads in the Amazon Prime Video series, set in a gritty fantasy world of mythical creatures – was an interesting experience for Jacqueline. “Cara is an absolute…
