It was a night of style, glamour, and striking saris when stars from the worlds of Hollywood and Bollywood combined for the grand opening of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai last week. US actress Zendaya, who stole the show in a stunning hand-embroidered sari gown from Rahul Mishra, said of the exhibition: “It was unreal. It took my breath away, it was so gorgeous.” Also at the event was her British boyfriend – and Spider-Man co-star – Tom Holland; while they walked the carpet separately, the couple were spotted together on a luxury yacht during their time in Mumbai. There was a model outing from Gigi Hadid, too, who glowed in a golden sari by Indian design team Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, while actress Penélope Cruz was…

Long before he became King of the castle, the former Prince of Wales loved to paint them – and his artworks are now on display at Sandringham House in Norfolk in an exhibition called Watercolours by His Majesty the King. More than 40 of his favourite pieces depicting British landscapes and royal residences, including Balmoral (right) and Windsor Castle (below right), have been put on show in the ballroom until the autumn. A keen amateur artist who paints whenever his schedule allows (left), the King says his hobby is a great stress reliever. “It requires the most intense concentration and, consequently, is one of the most relaxing and therapeutic exercises I know,” he has said. “In my case, it transports me into another dimension.” His Majesty turned to watercolours after…

An invitation to a private viewing of the Crown to Couture exhibition at Kensington Palace was a chance for Dita Von Teese to meet an old friend: a black lace and peach satin corset that she wore on her 2016 Strip Strip Hooray tour. Dita’s wasp-waisted piece, custom-made by Mr Pearl, is one of more than 200 items of fashion history, celebrating high-profile dressing from the court of Georgian England to today’s red carpets. As the largest exhibition staged at the palace, Crown to Couture’s opening night was always going to be a magnet for society’s most stylish and Dita (far right), in a form-fitting Jenny Packham LBD with gold detailing, led a guest list that was as carefully curated as the collection on display. Among those admiring the iconic…

Enjoying some downtime Down Under, Penny Lancaster soaked up the sun on Bondi Beach (left) during husband Sir Rod Stewart’s recent tour of Australia and New Zealand. Penny, who qualified last year as a special constable for the City of London Police, couldn’t resist investigating Sydney’s most famous stretch of sand – well, it would have been criminal not to. The TV personality was joined by sons Alastair and Aiden, who had a surfing lesson while their mum watched from the shore. But although Penny looked chuffed to be able to work on her tan, Rod had a different destination in mind. Ahead of his gig at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, the singer made tracks for a model railway shop, where he posed for photos with the stunned owner and…

Announcing their happy news by posting photos on Instagram, Alexandra posed in matching jeans with her partner, who was pictured cradling her baby bump. “We are so excited to do this all again,” they wrote. The singer, 34, began dating the 35-year-old AFC Bournemouth goalkeeper in 2021. The couple welcomed their first child, whose name and gender are yet to be revealed, in July last year. l British Olympic diver Tom Daley, 28, has announced the arrival of Phoenix Rose, his second son with husband Dustin Lance Black, 48.…

As she enjoys the Easter break with her three children, the Princess of Wales is looking ahead to a busy month. With important family dates in the calendar and under a month to go until her father-in-law’s coronation, the next few weeks bring with them a string of special events. It begins on 23 April, when her youngest son Prince Louis turns five – a big moment for any mother – followed six days later by her and the Prince’s wedding anniversary. Then, 6 May sees the biggest royal event of this year: the coronation. Kate, 41, will be a proud mum on the day as it was last week announced that her elder son Prince George, nine, as second in line to the throne, will serve as a page…

‘When it passes, you will have this glimpse of gold with the sovereign travelling inside’ In a dazzling display of pomp and splendour, the King and his new Queen will be carried from their coronation in the spectacular Gold State Coach, a majestic eight-horse-drawn carriage that has played a role at every monarch’s coronation since William IV’s in 1831. The Queen was seated in the coach, which can only be used by British monarchs, at her coronation in 1953, travelling in it both to and from Westminster Abbey. It was last seen in spectacular fashion at her Platinum Jubilee Pageant in 2022, when a hologram of her from that day was projected onto the windows. It will present a magnificent sense of ceremony when it serves Their Majesties next month,…

‘No one does pomp and ceremony like the British and this will be one of the most-watched events of the year’ Hundreds of thousands of visitors will congregate in London next month to witness the coronation, and the capital’s hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions are gearing up for an incredibly busy few days hosting travellers from the UK and abroad. The event will give a welcome boost to an economy that suffered so much during the Covid pandemic. It’s no wonder, then, that Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tells hello! he is “hugely excited” about the three days of celebration to come. “On behalf of all Londoners, I wish His Majesty King Charles III every success as he prepares to be crowned in a moment that will unite the nation,”…

The night before our exclusive interview, Dame Maureen Lipman, who plays straight-talking grandmother Evelyn Plummer in Coronation Street, had said goodbye to her on-screen canine co-star Cerberus in a heartbreaking scene that left many viewers in tears. “The make-up lady said to me: ‘Do you want a tear stick?’ – the thing you waft around to make you cry – and I looked at her as if she was offering me hard drugs,” she jokes. “That morning, the dog came into work depressed because I think he knew he was being written out. His handler was in pieces – we were all in pieces. “When the late Queen, God rest her soul, came to visit the set, she asked me: ‘Is he a good actor?’ I said: ‘Well, I’ve got…

Zendaya GET THE LOOK Zendaya opted for Golden Age glamour at this year’s Screen Actors Guild awards, with a powder-pink flush and fanned-out lashes. But when it comes to her skin, the 26-year-old likes to keep things simple. “I’ve learnt to figure out things that work for me and stick with them,” she says. “When I was younger, I’d want something to work tomorrow. Eventually, I learnt that the results happen over time.”…

It was a night filled with vibrant song and dance, high emotion, sparkling wit, A-list glamour and countless costume changes in a celebration of the West End at which two young stars reigned supreme. Jodie Comer and Paul Mescal, who have already conquered Hollywood and the small screen, secured the most coveted gongs at last week’s Olivier Awards for their West End debuts. Killing Eve star Jodie was also one of the best-dressed celebrities at the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall, in a sculptural Alexander McQueen gown with cascading ruffles and matching scarlet heels. Also striking on the green carpet were burlesque performer Dita Von Teese, channelling old-school glamour in a Jenny Packham dress with a crystal bodice and sequinned skirt, and singer Beverley Knight in a figure-hugging Atsuko…

Some of the most glamorous chapters in Monaco’s history were written in the Prince’s Palace, where the majestic settings of the Courtyard of Honour, Gallery of Hercules and Throne Room have been the stage for famous weddings and lavish receptions. But unknown to its residents, the Princes and Princesses of the Grimaldi dynasty, for centuries these rooms hid a treasure of incomparable value: Italian Renaissance frescoes painted in the 16th century by artists influenced by Michelangelo and Raphael. The differing tastes of Monaco’s successive rulers relegated these works to oblivion, obscured by several layers of paint. But after eight years of meticulous restoration and recovery work carried out by a team of international experts, more than 600 square metres (6,450sq ft) of mythological scenes of exceptional quality have finally been…

It’s no secret that James Middleton’s dogs lift his spirits and have helped him with his mental health struggles. But on a recent ski trip to Courchevel in the French Alps, the situation was reversed, and it was his golden retriever Mabel who needed a leg up (or four). James was taking a break in the resort with his wife Alizee, and rather than take the traditional route up the mountain, the couple opted to hike, taking Mabel (right) along. And if the delighted dog started off on a high, the comedown (left and far left) looked even better. Posting a video on Instagram showing her racing down the snowy slopes, James explained: “This year we took Mabel on our skiing trip. Instead of getting ski passes and leaving her…

Entrepreneur and philanthropist John Caudwell was in seventh heaven after witnessing the birth of his latest child, baby girl Isabella Sky. Delighted to be adding to his brood of six, John, 70, shared his happy news on Instagram, calling it “one of the most beautiful experiences anyone can have”. He later added that Isabella had “captured our hearts already”. Similarly smitten, his partner Modesta Vzesniauskaite, 39 (left, with her daughter), said: “Our hearts are full of love,” and that she was looking forward to introducing the little girl to her siblings, relatives and friends. The former Olympic cyclist did not have to wait long – less than a week after her arrival in Monaco’s Princess Grace Hospital, Isabella was the VIP guest at a party hosted in her honour in…

The Middle East offers an amazing range of cuisines, but for Stacey Solomon, everything’s better when accompanied by her own pickles. Along with husband Joe Swash, Stacey flew to Abu Dhabi for a spring getaway with her “5 amazing pickles” – otherwise known as sons Leighton, ten, Zachary, 15, and Rex, three, and daughters Rose, 18 months, and eight-week-old Belle. Keen to share the experience with her social-media followers, Stacey posted enviable images of the family exploring the area’s uncluttered beaches and child-friendly attractions. And although many would have found travelling with three children under the age of four on holiday a challenge, the TV presenter was determined to enjoy it to the max, telling fans she was “so grateful for these memories, so grateful for my family & so…

President Biden invited for state visit by King US President Joe Biden will travel to the UK for a state visit “in the near future”, after accepting an invitation from the King, the White House has confirmed. According to Karine Jean-Pierre, the President’s press secretary, the invitation was extended during a “friendly” phone call of around 30 minutes, during which President Biden informed the monarch that First Lady Jill would be representing the US in his absence at the coronation in May. “The President was appreciative of the offer by the King and looks forward to that state visit,” Karine told reporters last week, recalling the pair’s chat. “He congratulated the King on his forthcoming coronation – they had a very friendly conversation. He has a good relationship with the…

They are priceless and historic objects, some of which have been used in coronation ceremonies since medieval times. And on 6 May, the coronation regalia – the heart of the legendary Crown Jewels – will once again leave their home at the Tower of London and take centre stage at Westminster Abbey for the crowning of King Charles III and his Queen Camilla. While based on items and traditions dating back to the tenth century, most of these extraordinary pieces come from the 17th century – all but one of the original medieval items were destroyed by Parliament in 1649, following the execution of Charles I. After the restoration of his son Charles II, dazzling new regalia were created and they are still in use to this day – with…

The Himalayas are held to be some of the holiest points on earth because the mountains touch the heavens. I can honestly say I have never in my life seen the kind of landscape that surrounded me on the Annapurna trek I recently took part in with a group of supporters of charity One Family Global. We really were one family on that mountain, experiencing incredible highs, but also some scary moments. We had two avalanche warnings and it was truly terrifying. I’m someone who’s fearless in so many ways. I can stand up in front of thousands of people to host a Teenage Cancer Trust concert and never get nervous. Through my work with the British Asian Trust and the Prince’s Trust, I’ve met King Charles and interviewed him…

From judging on Britain’s Got Talent to co-hosting her breakfast show on Heart radio, Amanda Holden, 52, is in high demand, but always manages to look dewy-skinned and glamorous. Good skincare and make-up – and drinking plenty of water – are key, but Amanda also swears by a collagen supplement: she is returning as a brand ambassador for Revive Collagen for a second year. “I started taking the sachets before we teamed up, to see if they worked,” she says. “I don’t ever want to promote something I don’t believe in. But they make me look and feel fabulous.” Amanda, who’s mum to Alexa, 17, and Hollie, 11, with her music producer husband Chris Hughes, has also joined forces on a skincare range with British-based Revolution Beauty after their make-up…

You've probably heard at one time or another someone say, "I have a slow metabolism and that’s why I seem to gain weight". You may have even thought that it applied to you. Establishing whether this is true and if so, finding ways to boost it and thereby burn more calories, certainly appears to be a worthwhile exercise. Metabolism is the process by which our body coverts food into essential energy we need to do anything from breathing, moving, to the renewal and maintenance of all our cells. As much as metabolism is linked to weight, nutritional intake also plays a fundamental role in this process. Given these influencing factors on body weight, the question posed is whether we can consume the very best nutrition which optimises our metabolism for…

Princess Eugenie’s growing baby bump was neatly on display last weekend when she and husband Jack Brooksbank attended a stylish London wedding. The couple were spotted in Mayfair in the heart of the capital, taking part in a celebration that included bagpipe players and a 1949 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith as the bridal car. Eugenie, who just days earlier had celebrated her 33rd birthday, was elegant in a floral midi dress by American label Veronica Beard, under a beige coat from Max Mara. Gold drop earrings and a silk headband completed her outfit. Her husband, 36, wore a morning suit and yellow tie. After the ceremony at Grosvenor Chapel Anglican church, the couple joined guests aboard a red London double-decker bus to head to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Eugenie stepped off…

There can’t be many babies have gone behind the scenes in a TV studio or starred in their own exclusive photoshoot. But little Ava Lily has done both and she’s still only seven weeks old. Her sports presenter mum, Seema Jaswal, returned to work this week to front Champions League football coverage for BT Sport, having first proudly presented her new baby daughter to HELLO! in our exclusive shoot and interview. “We’re getting used to having her in our lives, and giving her endless cuddles and getting lost in her baby smell,” says Seema.

Restoring the natural world has long been a passion of the King’s, so it seems only fitting that his coronation will be celebrated with the creation of 100 wildflower meadows across England. The project by English Heritage will see 75 new fields appear at historic sites – 43 castles and forts, 22 abbeys and priories and ten historic houses – with another 25 existing meadows to be enhanced. FIELDS OF GLORY Chosen locations include Stonehenge in Wiltshire, Jewel Tower near the Palace of Westminster in London, Whitby Abbey, Osborne – Queen Victoria’s retreat on the Isle of Wight – and Tintagel Castle in Cornwall. The plan will leave a natural legacy and will help to restore many of the country’s lost flower-rich grasslands in tribute to His Majesty’s love of…

‘Really, it was like: “Hello, let’s go!” Like meeting up with your friends and having a laugh’ Bruno He’s the new judge on the block at Britain’s Got Talent, so it seems only fair that Bruno Tonioli has been initiated in style by the show’s cheeky hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly – in the form of a few light-hearted pranks. “We, quite mischievously, kept telling Bruno different rules,” says Dec, speaking before the show returns this weekend for its 16th series, which will see Bruno join Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell on the judging panel. “So when he hit his golden buzzer during the first session of the first day, midway through an act, we told him not to worry because he had another golden buzzer tomorrow,…
