‘A home only becomes a home when you have that accumulation of objects with a past, ones that mean something’ To step into Juan Carlos and Uchi Botero’s home is to enter the extraordinary world of one of our most famous living artists, Fernando Botero. The Miami-based couple are his son and daughter-in-law and their beachside villa, set among lush gardens and flooded with light, is the perfect setting for his flamboyantly colourful work. “I like to look around me and enjoy the memories that each item evokes,” says Uchi, who both adores and admires her father-in-law. Fernando, who turns 90 this week, is the loving patriarch of a large and close-knit Colombian clan and Juan Carlos and Uchi are proud to be among those who will gather to celebrate…

Glitz and glamour were in full force on the green carpet at the Olivier Awards last week, with the biggest names in theatreland honoured. Famous faces including Eddie Redmayne, Oti Mabuse, Lily Allen and Beverley Knight slipped into their most glamorous outfits to attend the ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall, with The Crown’s Emma Corrin turning heads in an unusual patterned dress from Loewe, which featured a bra made from balloons. Lily, who lost out on the Best Actress prize to Constellations’ Sheila Atim, looked glamorous in a sleek black strapless gown by Givenchy, arriving with her husband, actor David Harbour. Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham wowed in a caped cream gown while former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Oti dazzled in a strapless black and silver dress. Veteran…

She has always been fashion-forward, but since revealing that she and A$AP Rocky are expecting their first child – in a street-style shoot in New York in January – Rihanna has been unashamedly bump-forward. Her style choices have reshaped the conversation around maternity fashion, and a trip to Los Angeles restaurant The Nice Guy was no exception, with the singer teaming a pink bra top with matching low-slung ripped jeans and faux-fur stole (right). “I thought to myself: ‘There’s no way I’m going to go shopping in no maternity aisle.’ I’m sorry – it’s too much fun to get dressed up,” she explained in a Vogue interview and shoot. “I’m not going to let that part disappear because my body is changing.” Rihanna shared images and behind-the-scenes clips from the…

Not only is she the owner of some famous artworks, the Queen has starred in a few herself in her seven-decade reign. And in celebration of her Platinum Jubilee, Sotheby’s in London has put together a special exhibition, running from 28 May to 15 June, featuring some of her most famous portraits – along with those depicting Queens Elizabeth I, Mary Queen of Scots, Victoria, Anne, Mary I and Mary II. Among them is the Armada portrait of Elizabeth I (below right), painted to mark the failed Spanish invasion in 1588, as well as Queen Elizabeth II 337 (above right), one of Andy Warhol’s Reigning Queens series of screenprints created in 1985 and based on an official Silver Jubilee photo. The exhibition is part of a month-long arts programme by…

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visit the Queen at Windsor The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have visited the Queen at Windsor Castle ahead of her 96th birthday this week. Prince Harry and Meghan stopped off to see the Duke’s grandmother en route to the Invictus Games in the Netherlands, which began on Saturday. The Olympic-style contest was created by Harry in 2014 to aid the rehabilitation of military veterans across the globe and he and Meghan chose the Toronto edition in 2017 to make their public debut as a couple. The Hague Games are the Duchess’s first trip outside the US since 2020, when she and Harry stepped down from royal duties and moved to California. They are believed to have stayed in Frogmore Cottage, their home on…

At a time when freedom had been taken away from us all, I felt it was even more important to isolate myself further – I would never have forgiven myself if I had passed Covid on to The Queen. So I chose to move into Windsor Castle and stay by her side for two years, with hardly a day off. My incredible team also withdrew behind the Castle walls by choice, and we were constantly on duty except for a couple of hours in the afternoon, when we could walk in the private Home Park or catch up on work emails. Like everybody else we adapted to a new way of working and socialising. I couldn’t get to grips with Zoom, so FaceTime became a lifeline with my family and…

For Her Majesty, during the lockdowns the puppies, Muick and Sandy, were a constant joy. They always brought a smile to everyone’s faces. I was worried they would get under The Queen’s feet, but they have turned out to be a godsend. They are beautiful and great fun and The Queen often takes long walks with them in Home Park. They even went on their first Royal flight when we flew to Balmoral in August 2021. They were very well behaved, with Louis the footman on hand. CANINE COMPANIONS Candy, who is an old hand at flying – she must have been on hundreds of flights in her lifetime – ambled about and kept her eye on the young pups. The puppies stayed close to The Queen but occasionally sniffed…

‘This year I had the enormous privilege of representing Her Majesty the Queen at the service for Maundy Thursday, when Christians remember that humility and sacrifice are at the heart of our faith. At that service, which he attended with my mother so many times over the years, my father, the Duke of Edinburgh, always used to read the Gospel which tells how on the night of the Last Supper, Jesus knelt before his disciples and washed their travel-weary feet. Our Lord told them that he was doing this to give them an example of how to look after and to serve one another. It is a message they never forgot, and it is as challenging today as it was then. Today, millions of people find themselves displaced, wearied by…

Just last month she told HELLO! about her hopes for a big family and now Joss Stone is one step closer to fulfilling that goal after revealing she’s pregnant with her second child. The singer, who has a 15-monthold daughter Violet with her boyfriend Cody DaLuz, shared the happy news in an Instagram video in which she showed her 458,000 followers her positive pregnancy test and ultrasound scan. “I’m fortunate enough to announce that Cody and I are expecting our second child together. I’m over the moon for Violet to have a younger sibling,” she said, before explaining that she has had to postpone European tour dates. “Thank you for all your support and I’m so sorry if I’ve let anyone down,” she said. “I have mixed emotions as I…

‘Ivor Button, a 95-year-old great-grandfather from Cheltenham, has become the world’s oldest wing-walker. I had been wondering whether I should go on a run, but then I read this incredible story and it inspired me to go out and do it. So thank you, Ivor – you got me off my bum! Ivor is the epitome of the adage: “Age is just a number.” It really is, in his case. Often, elderly people give up on things they think they can’t do any more, but Ivor is inspiring people to do what they want to do. He was strapped to a plane that took off from Staverton Airport in Gloucestershire and his flight not only broke the previous Guinness World Record from 2013, held by the then 93-year-old Tom Lackey,…

‘When I started the book, my husband would roll his eyes and say: “What green thing are you doing this week?”’ As an expert meteorologist, Laura Tobin knows a fair bit about the threat of global warming. But she is being taught a thing or two about being green by her four-year-old daughter Charlotte. “She’s on my case all the time,” says Good Morning Britain’s weather and climate presenter, catching up with HELLO! ahead of the publication of her new book Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet. “She certainly keeps my husband and me in check, whether it’s turning lights off or not buying something with plastic packaging. She says: ‘Next time we get a car, we’re buying an electric one.’” With her long brown hair and bright smile, Charlotte…

‘It’s the most romantic thing. Two very lucky people who got a second chance at true love’ It is, she says, their “second chance at love”. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are engaged again, 19 years after they first planned to marry. And the Hollywood actress and singer last week revealed all the details of the romantic proposal, which left her crying tears of emotion. “Did you ever imagine your biggest dream could come true?” she wrote in her On the JLo newsletter, four days after confirming the news with a video of her breathtaking green diamond engagement ring. “Saturday night while at my favourite place on earth (in the bubble bath) my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed. I was taken totally off guard and just looked…

She made her name as a party girl, but these days Paris Hilton is all business, a fact that was recognised at the Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where she was named Fashion Entrepreneur of the Year. The former socialite was accompanied by her mother Kathy, who posed proudly alongside her on the red carpet (right). Accepting her award, Paris told the audience at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel: “To be appreciated as a businesswoman means the world to me. Fashion has always played a huge part in my self-expression. “Over the years I’ve used fashion and my style to create influence, connect to my fans and build global brands.” After chatting with celebrity supporters including model Alessandra Ambrosio and Tina Chen Craig, founder of skincare brand U Beauty…

Following her daughter Loretta’s recent health scare, no one could blame Lydia Bright for wanting to ensure the toddler had the hoppiest of Easters – with a bit of eggspert help. Ahead of the holiday weekend, the reality TV star and her two-year-old attended an Easter picnic organised by Lydia’s friend, fellow former The Only Way is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh, for her young son Roman, in the garden of Lucy’s Essex home. Highlights included a soft-play area, crafts, biscuit decorating and, of course, a visit from a certain long-eared rodent (left, with Lydia and Loretta). Lydia told fans: “Getting Loretta to smile for a picture with the Easter Bunny, FAIL,” and described the party as “the most perfect day of Easter celebrations”. There was more in store days later…

Being a model has its perks, and for twin sisters Ladies Amelia and Eliza Spencer – the nieces of Diana, Princess of Wales – there were grounds for celebration when an invitation to the launch of a new coffee machine in Munich meant a fun night out. The 29-year-old siblings (left, both wearing Versace) were among the glamorous guests at the WMF Perfection party at the German city’s Haus der Kunst art museum, which Eliza, in a turquoise blazer, later called “such a beautiful event”. The launch was opened by WMF brand ambassador Diane Kruger, who showcased a psychedelic print minidress by US designer Brandon Maxwell and blue satin The Attico heels, snapping selfies in the museum to share with fans. The German star of films and TV shows including…

‘It’s always nice to have a little boy to keep me company. I’m surrounded by ladies’ Tenderly kissing her one-year-old son while clasping his tiny hand in hers, Zara Tindall’s real winning moment at last week’s horse trials came not while she was in the saddle, but as she doted on little Lucas. Giving royal fans their clearest glimpse yet of her youngest child, the royal mother of three was clearly riding high as she enjoyed family time with daughters Mia, eight, and three-year-old Lena and husband Mike at the Burnham Market International Horse Trials in Norfolk. Fans were also able to see that Lucas – who celebrated his first birthday last month – has inherited his 40-year-old mother’s blond hair, while bearing a strong resemblance to his former rugby…

She has been the Queen’s devoted and loyal aide for more than 28 years and, in that time, has become one of her closest confidantes. So when it came to isolating herself from her friends and family to look after the monarch during the Covid-19 pandemic, Angela Kelly did not hesitate. The Liverpool-born grandmother of four, known officially as Her Majesty’s Personal Advisor and Curator (The Queen’s Jewellery, Insignias and Wardrobe), quickly got to grips with styling the Queen’s hair for video calls and TV appearances and was at her side as she prepared to bid farewell to her beloved husband of 73 years, the Duke of Edinburgh. Now, in a new chapter to update her book The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe,…

Due to the bubble restrictions, The Queen’s hairdresser was unable to come into the Castle, so I became a temporary hairdresser. From March 2020 onwards I washed The Queen’s hair every week, set and styled it, and even trimmed it when needed. My team named it Kelly’s Salon. It’s funny because at the beginning The Queen knew I was nervous, and during the first two weeks I was shaking. I had only done her hair once or twice before while on board the Royal Yacht Britannia. The Queen was so kind as she advised me on the very specific way to put the rollers in. As I grew in confidence I’m sure The Queen thought I was a professional and started shouting at me: “Don’t do that, do it this…

Throughout her 70-year reign, the Queen has impressed the nation with her elegant fashion sense and preference for block colour ensembles, but she broke with tradition in one of the most vibrant, multicoloured gowns she has ever worn at the Royal Variety Performance in November 1999. Created by German designer Karl-Ludwig Rehse, her eye-catching dress, which featured a harlequin-style sequinned bodice and a gold, floor-skimming skirt, stole the show when she attended an evening of entertainment at the Birmingham Hippodrome, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh. Noting the flurry of surprise his creation had caused, the designer proudly stated: “People seemed to be thrilled at how she looked. She was stunning. She’s like all ladies, she’ll go for something new. “She’s fun to work with and very knowledgeable about fabrics.…

Singer Britney Spears has always excelled at being able to surprise and delight her fans. And last week, (Oops) she did it again when the mum of two announced she is expecting a child with fiancé Sam Asghari. Britney, 40, explained on Instagram: “I got a pregnancy test … and uhhhhh well … I am having a baby.” The singer says she made the happy discovery on her return from a January break in Maui for fitness trainer Sam’s birthday (right), after he joked that she was “food pregnant”. She added: “4 days later I got a little more food pregnant. It’s growing!!! If 2 are in there … I might just lose it.” The star, who has two sons, Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, with her former husband Kevin…

So when Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz married, their wedding saw three days of celebrations estimated to have cost $3m (£2.3m), featuring celebrity guests, performances by famous artists and a $100,000 designer gown. Brooklyn, the 23-year-old son of former footballer David and singer turned designer Victoria, and Nicola, 27, the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson and former model Claudia, tied the knot at the bride’s family’s palatial home in Palm Beach, Florida. Three enormous marquees were erected along the house’s…

‘Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero’Simon Cowell promises he’s no longer got the Botox factor DAME JOAN COLLINS Selling engagement ring from Warren Beatty Dame Joan Collins is auctioning the engagement ring she received from actor Warren Beatty because “jewellery is meant to be worn, and these pieces belong to a different time in my life”.

She has always been passionate about horses, and the Duchess of Cornwall is proving that she is a winner, too. Last week, watched by 500 million viewers around the globe at the most famous steeplechase in the world, she presented the Grand National trophy to amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen, who galloped to victory at Aintree on the 50-1 outsider Noble Yeats. The event – also attended by the Queen’s granddaughter, Olympic equestrian Zara Tindall – is the latest example of how Camilla has shown her stalwart support for the Queen, taking the reins as a senior royal at major events in the racing calendar that have been a fixture in Her Majesty’s life, such as the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot.

Travellers could be forgiven for thinking the Easter Bunny was making an appearance at San Francisco International Airport. But rather than handing out chocolate eggs, this furry friend was there to help nervous passengers overcome their fears. Alex the Great, a 28lb Flemish Giant, is the newest member of the airport’s Wag Brigade, trained animals that help travellers deal with pre-travel anxiety. Until now, the Brigade has been filled with dogs – apart from LiLou the pig – so rabbit-lovers will no doubt be happy bunnies at seeing Alex become part of the team. The animals, who are carefully chosen for their temperament and suitability, wear harnesses that say “Pet Me!”. This lets passengers young and old identify them to have a cuddle to take away their flying nerves. Alex is…

Plastic-free, waterless, upcycled ingredients – there’s a lot to consider when it comes to how sustainable a beauty product is, but perhaps the biggest part of the eco puzzle is its carbon footprint. The beauty industry is incredibly carbon-intensive. Manufacturing and distribution are the main culprits, but the supply chain – sourcing ingredients and packaging components – also plays a major part. “A weighty material such as glass is infinitely recyclable, which is great, however it’s incredibly carbon-intensive to produce, distribute and recycle,” says Elsie Rutterford, co-founder of London-based natural skincare company BYBI, which aims be the first carbon-negative beauty brand. Similarly, using ingredients that need to be sent from the other side of the world is going to tip the balance, too. Carbon emissions matter because greenhouse gases are…
