As her guests enjoyed the late-summer sunshine, Stacey Solomon was showered with affection – not to mention gifts – at a special celebration ahead of the birth of her fourth child. The singer and Loose Women star was joined by friends including her fellow panellists Nadia Sawalha, Jane Moore and Judi Love, and cleaning guru Sophie Hinchliffe (aka Mrs Hinch) at a baby shower organised by her sister Gemma in the garden of Pickle Cottage, the Essex home Stacey shares with partner Joe Swash (both left). The former The X Factor star is expecting a girl at the end of the month and there was more than a hint of pink at the party (right), from the floral decorations and tableware to the mum-to-be’s outfit. Sharing photos on social media,…

After spending the summer holidaying with her family, it was back to work for Princess Olympia of Greece when she unveiled her debut beauty venture, a collaboration with The Organic Pharmacy. Comfortable in her own skin, Olympia, the godchild of the Prince of Wales, worked with the brand on a serum to improve everyone else’s, and she had support from some of the modelling world’s hottest names at the launch event last week. Joining her at London restaurant Isabel were guests including Kate Moss’s model daughter, Lila, and Ella Richards, granddaughter of Rolling Stone Keith (all right). Olympia and Ella recently teamed up for a photoshoot, with the former sharing shots of the pair posing together on the deck of a yacht. Equally close off camera, they often spend their…

As a singer-songwriter whose lyrics have touched thousands, it is not often that Arlo Parks is lost for words, but that was the case when the 21-year-old was named the winner of this year’s Mercury Prize (right). Joining DJs Annie Mac and Lauren Laverne on stage to accept the award at the prize-giving ceremony at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo in London, Arlo (real name Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho) told the audience she was “completely speechless”. Chosen from a shortlist of 12, her debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams beat offerings from nominees including Wolf Alice, Ghetts and Laura Mvula. Thanking her parents and team, she revealed: “It took a lot of sacrifice and hard work to get here – and there were moments where I wasn’t sure whether I’d make it…

‘For my dad, it’s all about the steps. He doesn’t get swept up in the sequins and the razzmatazz like my mum and I do; it’s all about the footwork’ When Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies takes to the dancefloor for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, the judges won’t be the only ballroom-savvy critics in the studio scrutinising her every step. The multimillionaire entrepreneur’s proud dad Frank tripped the light fantastic in quite a few competitions when he was young, even dancing for ballroom legend Len Goodman. “He told me he did it to meet girls, but from the ages of ten to 16 he was really into it and danced at Blackpool and for Len,” reveals Sara, 37, who joins a celebrity line-up that includes actor Greg Wise, McFly…

JENNIFER LAWRENCE Oscar winner reveals pregnancy Jennifer Lawrence has announced that she and her husband Cooke Maroney are expecting their first child together. A representative for the actress, 31, confirmed the happy news to People last week, shortly before Jennifer was seen out in New York with a growing baby bump. The couple married in October 2019 in Rhode Island with stars including Adele, Amy Schumer and Emma Stone in attendance. Speaking about her husband, 37, an art gallery director, Jennifer has said: “I just met Cooke and I wanted to marry him. We wanted to marry each other. We wanted to commit fully. He’s my best friend.” • Oscar-winning actress Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender last week confirmed they welcomed their first child together earlier this year. MICHAEL K…

Turning 40 is often a time of reflection for a woman and Beyoncé is no exception. The superstar has six No. 1 solo studio albums to her name and a record-breaking 28 Grammys, her own successful management and entertainment company and a clothing line. She has more than $420m (£305m) in earnings, a husband she adores and three beautiful children. Her Instagram following is more than 200 million. Queen Bey, as she is known to her legions of adoring fans, also has a band of A-list supporters. As she celebrated her milestone birthday on 4 September, a number of them got together to record a video wishing her well – from Oprah Winfrey to US First Lady Jill Biden to Billie Eilish. Taylor Swift told her: “The fact that you…

After 26 years, five children and one wedding postponement, India Hicks and her long-term partner David Flint Wood finally tied the knot last week. The interior designer, writer, boutique owner and former model – who is a granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten and a great-great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria – was also a bridesmaid at the wedding of her godfather the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. India’s own nuptials, however, were more low key at St Bartholomew’s church in Brightwell Baldwin, Oxfordshire, with a reception across the road at the Lord Nelson pub. The church is dear to India’s family, as she explained last year. “I don’t just want to get married, I want to get married here, in Oxfordshire, where I grew up and in the church…

‘Today’s event was enjoyed by all, including HRH’ After a summer break, the Countess of Wessex was clearly delighted to be back doing her royal duties last week. Sophie – who’s never afraid to get stuck in with activities when she’s out and about – was full of smiles and very much dressed for the part, wearing fatigues to watch a military competition. The royal, 56, got back to work in soaring temperatures at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire, as British and Canadian military units associated with her went head to head in a friendly battle for the annual Countess of Wessex Cup. The venue and challenges change from year to year but always include a series of demanding physical and mental tests. She watched as personnel from the Royal Navy,…

We wouldn’t be galloping towards the festive season without a heavy smattering of all things sequin, glitter and metallic. Catwalk heavy hitters, including Burberry, Valentino and Givenchy, spoke to our inner magpies as they sent shimmering shades of gold, pewter and rose down the runway – while Oslo-based street-style star Darja Barannik shows us how to wear silver lamé during the day with the addition of an oversized blazer.…

For those finally venturing back to the office, what better way to do so than in an expertly cut trouser suit that’ll instantly show you mean business? Invest in a two-piece that you’ll be able to wear outside the office – à la Victoria Beckham – whether that’s a slightly slouchy blazer that you can pair with jeans, or a figure-flattering pair of trousers you can dress up for night. Either way, it’s time to dust off the 9-5 attire.…

Colourful characters, a few surprises and plenty of laughs – David Walliams’s 50th birthday party had all the elements of one of his best-selling children’s books. Surrounded by glamorous guests, the comedy star and Britain’s Got Talent judge had his ultimate plus-one by his side: his mother Kathleen. Posting a picture (top left) on Instagram, David captioned it: “Party time.” The Studio 54-themed celebration took place at Claridge’s in central London, with David making his entrance on a white plastic horse – recalling Bianca Jagger’s notorious appearance at the New York nightclub in the 1970s. He mingled with famous friends including newlyweds Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett (together left), Ayda Field (below left), Amanda Holden and Holly Candy (below right), while the evening featured a performance by Sir Elton John.…

The production was relatively low key, but DJ Mark Ronson’s wedding to romantic collaborator Grace Gummer was a massive hit with the bride and groom. Confirming he had tied the knot with the actress daughter of Meryl Streep, Mark uploaded a shot of the wedding (right), paying tribute to his new wife on his 46th birthday. “To my truest love… out of nowhere you made 45 hands down the greatest year of my life. And I’m sure it took me 45 years to become the man worthy of your love. I hope I spend every one of these birthdays by your side til my last day. And beyond. Forever and ever yours,” his post read, “(and yes, we got married.)” Previously married to Joséphine de La Baume, Mark was first…

‘I’ve wanted to do Strictly since my bandmate did it ten years ago’Tom As the leaves turn a shimmering shade of gold, it can only mean one thing: the return of glitter, sparkle and sequins as Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens for the autumn. This year’s crop of 15 celebrity contestants includes rival soap stars, actors, presenters, musicians and an Olympic champion, who have revealed the reasons they signed up and what they’re most looking forward to. For The Voice and Big Brother’s Bit on the Side presenter AJ Odudu, taking part in the hit BBC1 show will be the perfect way to make up for all the clubbing she’s missed out on during lockdowns. “I’ve not socialised, I’ve not danced and I’ve not listened to music in…

David Beckham’s second-eldest son has signed his first professional football contract. Romeo, 19, is following in his famous father’s footsteps by joining Fort Lauderdale CF, based in Florida. The USL League One club, in the third tier of US football, is also the reserve team for David Beckham’s own top-tier Major League Soccer club, Inter Miami CF. Romeo is not the only son of a football superstar on the team: he joins Harvey Neville, the 19-year-old son of Phil Neville, Inter Miami’s head coach. Phil played alongside David at Manchester United. Romeo posted the news on Instagram, captioning a photo of him kitted out in the team strip, about to kick a ball: “Follow your dreams.” His excited mother, fashion designer Victoria, 47, commented on the post: “We are so…

Fresh from his long summer break, the Duke of Cambridge was back to work last week, paying special tribute to first responders. Visiting Dockhead Fire Station in south-east London on Emergency Services Day last Thursday, the future King met a girl who was reunited with the two police officers who saved her life after a shocking incident in May last year. Metropolitan Police officers PC Ryan Legge and PC Ahmet Mavitunali gave seven-year-old Noura life-saving treatment after she was stabbed by her father. She spent three months in hospital and he was later jailed for 22 years for attempted murder. Noura’s grateful mother Luna Di Raimondo said: “The emergency services saved her. They were extremely quick and made sure she got to the hospital. If they did not do what…

‘So much has changed in both our lives, but one thing that hasn’t changed is how unbelievably grateful we are’Declan Donnelly Small-screen history was made last week when Ant and Dec won Best Presenter at the National Television Awards for a record 20th time in a row, and the popular pair were totally overwhelmed. At the star-studded event, Ant McPartlin was joined by his wife of a month, Anne-Marie Corbett, and TV partner and best friend Declan Donnelly by his wife Ali Astall. “You have no idea how special this is,” Ant told the audience at London’s O2 Arena. Dec added: “When you get to 20 you can’t help but look back at the first one. So much has changed in both our lives, but one thing that hasn’t changed…

He has said: “He reminds me of me when I first started out,” and the resemblance between Sir Elton John and Ed Sheeran was not hard to spot in a photo (left) Ed shared with fans in the run-up to the release of his new single. Dressed in sequins, feathers and over-the-top pink glasses, the singer’s outfit drew inevitable comparisons with Elton’s outrageous stage costumes from the 1970s. “My brand new single Shivers is out Friday,” Ed’s caption explained. “I glammed up for the occasion.” A later post (right) showed him modelling a more low-key outfit, albeit accessorised with a feathered friend. “I rented a parrot for the video, don’t let that be a waste,” he urged followers. It is not the first time the singer has been influenced by…

With her strong work ethic and winning personality, the Countess of Wessex has always been a breed apart, as she demonstrated during her latest visit to the Westmorland County Show. But this year she had some competition for the title Best in Show as she was joined at the annual Cumbrian fixture by her sister-in-law the Princess Royal. During their visit the pair (left) demonstrated their close bond and keen interest in all things rural. Sophie is patron of the Association of Show and Agricultural Organisations and has been named patron of farming charity Addington Fund, representatives of which she enjoyed meeting on the day. Princess Anne, meanwhile, is president of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth, formed by her father the Duke of Edinburgh. Clearly having fun, the…

If actor and activist Mika Simmons was hoping to charm guests at the launch of a new necklace designed to celebrate World Goddess Day – and to raise money for the women’s health charity she helped co-found – she was not disappointed. Mika teamed up with jeweller Atelier Romy to create the Hygeia gold pendant necklace, marking the occasion with a lunch at London’s Treehouse Hotel. On the day, Mika was surrounded by her very own chain gang, with familiar faces including actors Tina Hobley and Tamzin Outhwaite proudly showcasing the design, a percentage of proceeds from which go to the Lady Garden Foundation. “This is what Mondays are about,” former Holby City star Tina (left) wrote on Instagram, while Tamzin (below right) called it: “A gathering of strong, unique,…

‘Maura is beautiful, funny and she’s a very loyal person’ Giovanni Pernice has been linked romantically to a few of his Strictly Come Dancing partners over the years, but as he prepares for the latest series of the hit show, he only has eyes for one woman. Speaking exclusively to hello! about his new romance with former Love Island star Maura Higgins, he says: “Maura is beautiful, funny and she’s a very loyal person.” She marked the dancer’s birthday last week with an Instagram post, writing: “You make my world complete. I love you.” And while Giovanni, 31, who’s starring on our digital cover this month, is preparing for a new leading lady in the Strictly ballroom, he dismisses any fears about the so-called “Strictly curse”. “I knew you were…

‘I can’t wait to take on whatever the future holds for us’ Their love blossomed after a chance meeting in London and was sealed by a romantic marriage proposal with a dazzling sapphire engagement ring in the Lake District a year later. But it was in his bride’s native France that James Middleton finally said “I do” to Alizée Thevenet. Watching the happy couple exchange their vows in an intimate ceremony on Saturday were James’s sister the Duchess of Cambridge, together with her husband the Duke and two of their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as well as his sister Pippa and her financier husband James Matthews, and their parents Carole and Michael Middleton. Two of the couple’s beloved dogs, spaniel Ella and working golden retriever Mabel, also took…

With a mum as stylish as Millie Mackintosh, it’s not surprising that her 16-month-old daughter Sienna is one well-turned-out tot. Which means that the baby girl the former Made in Chelsea star and her husband, fellow TV personality Hugo Taylor, will welcome soon is in for some pretty fantastic hand-me-downs. “One hundred per cent I am keeping a lot of Sienna’s clothes for her sister,” Millie tells hello!. “But as they get older I want them to get involved in donating what they no longer wear to be loved by someone else. I think it’s really important that they understand that things are to be shared and enjoyed by everyone.” Proving the perfect role model to her girls, Millie is supporting the Give Up Clothes for Good campaign, which encourages…

Antique-inspired floral prints in muted tones are a welcome transition from summer’s tropical blooms and show florals are no longer just for spring. These Laura Ashley-vibe patterns are reminiscent of beautiful upholstery and lend a regal, grown-up air. Take cues from Giambattista Valli, who paired flowery suiting with pearly headbands for a modern spin on party dressing; or Yuhan Wang, whose baroque-flavoured coat is a thing of wonder.…
