‘Archie made us a “Mama” and a “Papa”, and Lili made us a family’ It is the picture their fans have been longing to see. On their Christmas card, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released the first photo of their baby daughter Lilibet Diana. Wearing a sweet dress, little Lili, as she is known, beams at her adoring parents while mum Meghan lifts her in the air. Also in this precious family portrait, Archie – his red hair just like dad Prince Harry’s – is seen clearly for the first time since he was a baby. To mark their first Christmas as a family of four, they unveiled the image with the message: “Happy Holidays. This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet, to the world. Archie made us…

‘People are afraid to wear white for fear of looking like a bride, but Kate’s demeanour is wholesome and fresh’ Not many people can pull off wearing white or cream at a red-carpet event, but Kate has done so many times over the years, from her striking, one-shouldered Grecian-style Alexander McQueen gown to a form-fitting column dress from Roland Mouret.“I applaud her for wearing white,” says Gayle Rinkoff, fashion and celebrity stylist. “Lots of people are afraid to wear it at a function for fear of looking like a bride, but Kate’s demeanour is wholesome and fresh. “White is also the colour of purity and we do associate her with being pure.” There’s a long fashion history of celebrities wearing white outside of weddings – Joan Crawford’s white organdie gown…

It is at state events or on royal tours, visiting or entertaining foreign royal families or global heads of state, when Kate really is required to be regal. And she has done it with aplomb, elegantly evolving into her role as future Queen in not only what she wears, but how she steps up to her responsibilities as well. “Since she joined the royal family more than a decade ago, we’ve seen her blossom into a confident, accomplished woman in her prime,” says hello!’s royal editor Emily Nash. “She’s become a lot more polished in her public appearances and that reflects her growing role at the heart of the royal family. She is embracing her public duties, whether she’s abseiling down a cliff face or entertaining global heads of state…

As she strode confidently down the catwalk in a daring transparent lace dress, few could have predicted that Kate Middleton was going to be Queen one day. Yet her appearance at a charity fashion show at the University of St Andrews in 2002, when she was 19, sowed the seeds of her romance with fellow student Prince William, who paid £200 for a front-row ticket. Kate’s effortless flair was evident as she modelled the dress, which was created by fashion and textiles student Charlotte Todd and originally designed as a skirt. William reportedly exclaimed: “Wow, Kate’s hot!” when he caught sight of her and the pair, who had just been friends, soon became a couple. The dress, which cost £30 to make, sold at auction for £78,000 in 2011, the…

I love that award-winning illustrator Justyna Green has repainted her London home studio into a Room for Kindness, with five wall illustrations representing different stages of self-kindness, as an antidote to New Year’s resolutions. Come 1 January, I’m always on social media beating myself up; feeling guilty if I’ve put on a few pounds. I’m not doing that this year. Justyna has given us a really important message: you have to be kind to yourself first before you can be kind to the world and to others. Lots of people use affirmations, but Justyna has gone a step further and surrounded herself by this reminder. Feeling happy in yourself starts with self-love, self-respect, and self-kindness – from there, we can emanate the light out. These drawings are colourful and beautiful.…

Karlie Kloss GET THE LOOK Fanned-out lashes highlight Karlie Kloss’s naturally arched eyebrows at the WSJ Magazine 2021 Innovator Awards in November, although the model wasn’t always keen on showcasing her brows. “Now they’re my favourite feature,” she says. But 29-year-old Karlie still prefers to keep the dramatic looks for the red carpet, saying: “On a daily basis, I keep my make-up very minimal.”…

When wealthy socialite and businesswoman Caroline Stanbury welcomed in the new year in 2021, she didn’t bank on ending it a married woman. But on 18 December, two and a half years after their first encounter and 11 months on from his surprise proposal, the 45-year-old mum of three made 27-year-old former Real Madrid footballer Sergio Carrallo’s “dreams come true” when they exchanged heartfelt vows in a ceremony attended by 130 much-loved family members and friends. Billionaire property developer Nick Candy and wife Holly plus Juliet Angus, Caroline Fleming and Sophie Stanbury, the bride’s co-stars from the reality show Ladies of London, were among the glamorous guests celebrating at the luxurious five-star Raffles the Palm resort in Dubai, where the couple now live. “I pictured how it would all be,…

‘This is such an incredible honour and something I never expected to happen. It is a huge thing for me’ She rose to fame as a member of world-famous band the Spice Girls, but it is for her services to victims of domestic violence that singer Melanie Brown has received an MBE in the New Year Honours list. Speaking of her joy exclusively to HELLO!, she says: “This is such an incredible honour and something I never expected to happen to me. To be honoured as Melanie Brown from Leeds as opposed to Melanie Brown Spice Girl is a huge thing for me. “I never thought about getting any sort of acclaim when I wrote about my own experiences of being in a ten-year abusive relationship, nor when I became…

Usually, Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews fly long haul to St Barts for a Caribbean Christmas with Spencer’s parents. This year, however, they opted for something a little closer to home – and a whole lot greener. With their children, three-year-old Theodore and Gigi, 17 months, the couple spent the break in Vogue’s native Ireland, where they recently finished refurbishing a property in Howth, which they showed off in HELLO! before Christmas as they announced the baby they are expecting in spring is a boy. And the pair made the most of the stunning surroundings. Sharing on Instagram an image of the former Made in Chelsea star and their children against a mountain backdrop (left), Vogue wrote: “Walks, walks and more walks.” There was also a festive family shot (above…

Suited and booted in their finest outfits, the Beckhams make the perfect festive tableau as they pose by a Christmas tree. Proud parents Victoria and David gathered their family together for some Yuletide greetings, sharing the rare sight of all four children – Brooklyn, 22, Romeo, 19, Cruz, 16, and ten-year-old Harper – in the same photo. Victoria posted the joyful image (right) on Instagram and captioned it: “Christmas kisses from the Beckhams!” They weren’t the only ones dressing up. Former footballer David also took to Instagram to post a shot (left) of the family’s dogs Olive, Sage and Fig clad in festive jumpers. “So girls this is what’s going to happen tomorrow. How excited are we?” he wrote. The coming year is already shaping up to be a merry…

From tennis whites to a white wedding, it was a question of game, set and matched when former British No. 1 Johanna Konta married her fiancé Jackson Wade. A fortnight after the pair’s big day, tennis star Johanna (below) celebrated by treating her social media followers to a couple of well-chosen shots. The photos included one (bottom) of the bride posing with her husband in front of the church where they tied the knot, giving fans their first proper look at her pleated tulle Max Mara wedding dress (right) embroidered with micro-sequins, and matching angora cardigan. “Two weeks of being a Mrs,” her caption explained. Johanna had already tweeted about her nuptials, telling her followers: “So… Yesterday I got married.” The wedding took place shortly after she announced her retirement…

The Queen has led tributes to Archbishop Desmond Tutu after his death at the age of 90, following a battle with cancer, was announced on Boxing Day. He was celebrated throughout his life as a well respected and tireless campaigner and advocate of human rights. He became a Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 1984 for his efforts and non-violent campaigns, which helped dismantle the South African apartheid regime. Offering her condolences, the Queen (above with the cleric) said: “I am joined by the whole royal family in being deeply saddened by the news of the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a man who tirelessly championed human rights in South Africa and across the world. “I remember with fondness my meetings with him and his great warmth and humour. Archbishop Tutu’s…

‘There are moments when she really looks like a future Queen’ She is a future Queen with a golden touch and plays her role on the global stage with confidence, sensitivity, intelligence, charm and poise. This week, the Duchess of Cambridge marks a milestone as she celebrates her 40th birthday – and she couldn’t be looking more radiant. Comfortable in her own skin, fulfilled in her work and devoted to her family, Kate has come into her own in the style stakes. As she starts her new decade at the top of her game, we mark her birthday on 9 January with 40 of her favourite looks – one for each year.…

‘She’s not afraid to try florals with lots of colour, ruffles and print. It’s a bold, beautiful and confident look’ A perennial favourite, lace is one of the Duchess’s go-to fabrics and she’s been pictured wearing it many times. “She obviously feels comfortable in it and it’s a firm favourite,” says Gayle Rinkoff. “It’s a very elegant, timeless and chic look. Maybe she feels a little more grown up, more mature in lace. Because it’s more traditional, maybe she feels she’s taken more seriously.” Florals have also been a popular option on the red carpet, with Kate being more daring with her choices. “She’s not afraid to try florals with lots of colour, ruffles, velvet, print and pattern. It’s a bold, beautiful and confident look,” Gayle says. In fact, so…

With her dark hair and pale skin, Kate looks striking in bold colours, including dramatic scarlets, crimsons and ruby reds On her tour with Prince William to India and Bhutan in 2016, Kate’s wardrobe was not only a blaze of colour and print but also culturally sensitive.

On tour in Canada later that year, she accessorised her showstopping Preen by Thornton Bregazzi red dress with the diamond and platinum maple leaf brooch, on loan from the Queen.…

When it comes to festive traditions, there’s one that reality TV star Vicky Pattison never misses: New Year’s resolutions. “It’s nice to start a new year off as a clean slate with objectives and things to look forward to. It keeps you on a good path,” she tells HELLO! in our exclusive chat. Learning to drive and travelling to new places are all on her horizon, but the 34-year-old former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner’s main goal is to “continue to be really happy”. ‘I was feeling really out of my depth and making bad decisions and thinking everyone else had it all figured out’ She also plans to help others with that goal, too, in The Secret to Happy, her debut self-help book filled with…

‘My dearest wish is for him to recover… Feel so grateful to have the chance to be together’ In a heart-warming moment that Kate Garraway feared she might never experience, her husband Derek Draper flashes a smile for the camera as they enjoy his first outing since he contracted Covid-19 nearly two years ago. The Good Morning Britain and Smooth Radio presenter had just taken him and their children, Darcey 15, and Billy, 12, for a pre-Christmas family treat to watch Cinderella – in which Kate’s 2007 Strictly Come Dancing partner Anton Du Beke was making his pantomime debut – at Richmond Theatre in south-west London. Wrapped up warm in a stripy scarf with a blanket across his knees as he sat in his wheelchair, the 54-year-old psychologist was hugged…

‘Although it’s a time of great happiness and good cheer for many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. This year, especially, I understand why. But for me, in the months since the death of my beloved Philip, I have drawn great comfort from the warmth and affection of the many tributes to his life and work – from around the country, the Commonwealth and the world. His sense of service, intellectual curiosity and capacity to squeeze fun out of any situation were all irrepressible. That mischievous, enquiring twinkle was as bright at the end as when I first set eyes on him. But life, of course, consists of final partings as well as first meetings; and as much as I and my family miss him,…

‘Everything from the details in the lace to the nipped-in waist and padded hips was considered and perfectly executed’ With the eyes of the world on the wedding of the decade, it was the bride – and her dress – who stole the show. In her ivory and white satin and lace gown by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and with her effortless glamour and easy smile, Kate transformed on that day into a true fairytale princess. The dress was a collaboration between Sarah and the bride, said the designer, who called it “the experience of a lifetime”. The satin bodice and high-neck lace overlay had echoes of Grace Kelly’s wedding gown when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, which reportedly inspired Kate after she saw it displayed…

‘The risk you can take with pastels is they’re not exciting enough, but the Duchess adds that edge to it’ For her first formal engagement after her wedding, the Duchess chose a gown from one of her favourite designers – Jenny Packham. With its sequins and fluttering pale-pink tulle sleeves, the pearlescent rose dress (shown overleaf) remains one of her most memorable fashion moments. “Everyone was stunned by this dress and it’s still one of her most famous ones ten years later,” says Bethan. Demure, soft and romantic, pastels photograph well but aren’t ostentatious and Kate wears them beautifully. “The Gucci dress she wore in 2019 is one of the prettiest she’s ever worn,” says Bethan. “She looks like a ballerina, but it’s got a fashionable edge to it as…

‘Kate is taking her style evolution seriously’ Just as the Duchess has grown into her role with increasing self-assurance and authority over the past decade, so she has developed her unique style. This was never more apparent than at the Together at Christmas event at Westminster Abbey in December, when Kate hosted a poignant carol service looking vibrant in a scarlet coatdress from Catherine Walker with a pair of diamond-fringed sapphire earrings on loan from the Queen. “Your style evolves as you get older, as you become more confident about your body shape. You know what suits you and what doesn’t,” says Gayle. “I think she’s very clever because she wears things that make other women think: ‘Oh, that’s amazing,’ and can see themselves in it as well,” she adds.…

“It’s only taken 38 years to realise what I need to do to look after myself,” Suzanne Shaw tells HELLO!, two years after embracing sobriety. “I’m the happiest I’ve been in one of the most uncertain times in my life.” The singer and actress gave up alcohol at the beginning of 2020 – only to see her work vanish as the pandemic hit the entertainment world. “The industry was decimated,” she says. “My work had just gone, we had nothing.” However, she was determined to change her life, having struggled with her mental health for two decades, and began documenting her efforts on social media, sharing her ups and downs with fans and followers. After completely turning her life around, she has launched The Happy Health Club programme to help…
