‘By renovating the house, I brought it back to life. I made it into something new, while still holding on to its special magic’ Ever since the 1950s, when Brigitte Bardot filmed And God Created Woman here, St Tropez has been synonymous with sensual French chic. Celebrities from around the world flock to the Côte d’Azur resort, giving its legendary promenade, beaches and nightspots a unique glamour. But, as longtime resident Stéphanie Réhault tells us, there is a quieter side to this magical spot, one that seems to inspire creativity. At her beautifully renovated villa, with its Golden Age ambience, the multi-talented artist, jeweller and interior designer talks about the lifestyle she loves. Stéphanie, what is your background? “My father is a military man – he was a colonel –…

I t’s been a busy summer for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who brought her disco out of the kitchen and onto the festival circuit. Her latest appearance was at Latitude in Suffolk, which she called “special”. And while there was no Murder on the Dancefloor, no one could deny that Sophie was killing it with her crowd-pleasing set and colourful wardrobe. Sharing photos with her Instagram followers, she revealed: “I wore as many colours as possible.” Among her outfits was a sparkling, tasselled playsuit (right) by festival favourite Lady Jane Sequins. She was joined at Latitude by her mum Janet Ell is and musician husband Richard Jones. As well as performing, the couple hosted the festival’s Guest Chef restaurant together, dishing up recipes from their Love. Food. Family cookbook. The treats being…

She is used to having VIP access, but when Blake Lively spotted a wardrobe malfunction in a dress on display as part of the Crown to Couture exhibition at Kensington Palace, she could not resist going one step further. The dress was not, of course, just any dress: it was the two-tone Atelier Versace design that the actress wore to last year’s “gilded glamour”-themed Met Gala (left). Climbing over the rope preventing visitors getting too close to the exhibit, Blake, 35, adjusted the lining of the gown “so that you see what the transformation was”. The rule-breaker even roped in her friend, jewellery designer Lorraine Schwartz (together right), to help. Uploading a clip to her Instagram Stories, Blake wrote: “When you’re the clown who hops over the rope at the…

JAMIE FOXX Expresses gratitude for support after health scare Jamie Foxx has shared a video update about his health after spending time in hospital with an unknown complaint in April. Jamie, 56, said he went “to hell and back” dealing with what his family described at the time as a “medical complication”. In an emotional video, the Oscar-winning actor explained his absence from the limelight, saying: “I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.” The father of two thanked his sister Deidra Dixon and daughter Corinne for saving his life and keeping details of his condition “airtight”, adding: “I love everybody and I love all the love that I got.” PATSY KENSIT…

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE THINGS…

Enjoying a date night on the French Riviera, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi showed they are as much in love as ever. The couple – parents to Sienna, a sister for Edoardo’s seven-year-old son Wolfie – jetted out to St Tropez for a sun-soaked getaway shortly after celebrating their third wedding anniversary. The King’s niece and property developer Edoardo, 39, were pictured leaving celebrity hotspot Le Club 55, the chic seafront beachclub that welcomed Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham in early July and counts Kate Moss and Bono among its A-list clientele. Sunset saw the couple share a loving embrace before boarding the boat to leave, with Edoardo gallantly stepping back to let his wife – casually chic in a floral dress from Me+Em – go ahead. The couple…

In terms of celebrity, it’s rare for Victoria Beckham to meet her match. But the on-pitch debut of husband David’s star signing Lionel Messi attracted some major league supporters to Inter Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, with Kim Kardashian (left), LeBron James, Marc Anthony and a pregnant Serena Williams (below left) among the crowd. Kim said she was there largely for her seven-year-old son Saint, who joined her (below right, with the Beckhams, including children Cruz and Harper, and other friends). “He’s obsessed and I will do anything for my babies,” the reality TV star and entrepreneur said. “So I travel the world [on] soccer trips. All summer we’re going to different games.” She also revealed a footballing past of her own, saying: “I was goalie and centre…

No stranger to being centre stage, when singer Beverley Knight made a guest appearance at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, she brought the house down despite not singing a single note. The 50-year-old Mobo and Olivier award winner (right) was collecting an honorary doctorate from Birmingham City University, which she later said “meant everything to me”. Presenting the honour – and providing backing vocals – was university chancellor Sir Lenny Henry, who called Wolverhampton-born Beverley “a true icon for the West Midlands”. Addressing the audience, which included Beverley’s mother Deloris Smith, he said: “She’s been behind some of the most powerful music to come out of the UK in recent times and… she’s also made a huge impact in her charity roles.” In her acceptance speech, Beverley spoke of her pride in…

Kylie Minogue has announced her first residency in Las Vegas. The star, 55, has revealed that she will take to the stage at the 1,000-capacity Voltaire venue from 3 November, with the rest of the dates yet to be announced. The Australian singer and actress made her announcement at a top-secret event in West Hollywood attended by HELLO!. “I always thought [a residency] would happen at some point. So, now is the right time to be in the Voltaire environment,” she said. Kylie, who follows in the footsteps of musical giants Celine Dion and Adele with a stint in Sin City, explained why now is the right time. “I think if I had done this earlier in my career, it might have been too early. If I’d done it too…

Wearing a smart Royal Navy beret, the Princess Royal made sure everything was shipshape on board HMS Albion ahead of its latest voyage. The King’s sister has been Lady Sponsor – a ceremonial figure representing luck and protection – since Albion’s launch in 2001. Surrounded by the spectacular mountains of Scotland’s West Coast, Princess Anne shook hands with members of the crew before witnessing the vessel setting sail from the harbour at Glen Douglas military depot. CLOSE TIES She also joined the crew of the 577ft-long vessel, one of the Royal Navy’s two amphibious assault ships, in standing to attention in an impressive display of military precision. During the visit, Anne, 72, heard more about HMS Albion’s operational activity over the last 12 months, which has included deployments to the…

Hollywood A-listers, fellow musicians and close family flocked to the exclusive Embargo Republica nightclub in Chelsea last week to celebrate rock’n’roll star Sir Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday. Leading the way were his partner of nine years Melanie Hamrick and his ex, Jerry Hall, as well as his Rolling Stones bandmates Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood. After the big day, Ronnie told HELLO!: “Mick’s been a wonderful friend and an incredible creative force over all these years; what a great way to celebrate his 80th – here’s to many more adventures together.” The birthday boy was in high spirits at the Cuban-inspired venue alongside Melanie, 36, who looked striking in a sheer black lace jumpsuit – and a medical boot on her right foot after injuring her toe. The entertainment was…

Big Brother presenter AJ Odudu sported a sharp bob with a fresh, glowing look to appear on Loose Women. But changing her appearance is nothing new for the 35-year-old star. “I play with my looks with colourful make-up and different hairstyles,” she has said. “I’m embracing me a lot more and I’m confident to be more playful and experimental.”…

Former Olympic triple jumper Michelle Griffith-Robinson knows all about taking a leap into the unknown – and now she’s pushing to dispel the stigma around menopause and make women aware of an ethnicity gap that means black women, on average, enter the menopause two years earlier than their white counterparts. The 51-year-old mum of three, married to former rugby union international Matthew Robinson, has teamed up with high street retailer Holland & Barrett for its Every Menopause Matters campaign, saying: “I can use my voice and platform to get messages out there for other black women and marginalised communities.” She tells HELLO! all about it… Michelle, was the menopause spoken about in your house growing up? “I remember my mum was the same age as I am now and she’d…

As a singer and West End star, Kimberley Walsh knows the importance of perfect pitch – which is why she’s backing a campaign to ensure everyone has access to one. But it’s not music the former Girls Aloud star is batting for: it’s grassroots cricket. Kimberley and the two eldest of her three sons, Bobby, eight, and six-year-old Cole (all left), teamed up (below) with former England player Isa Guha and stars of tournament The Hundred to take part in a community cricket session at Broadwater Farm in Tottenham, North London. The aim? To promote a new initiative by snack giant KP that hopes to get more people involved in the sport by installing and refurbishing 100 non-turf pitches in areas of the eight team cities involved in The Hundred.…

In an AI first, the “Ken” has been put into Kensington Palace – and he bears more than a passing resemblance to the heir to the throne. With Barbie-mania gripping the nation, the Prince and Princess of Wales have become the latest figures to be given a pink-over – and they’re not the only ones. Using thousands of photos and videos, plus the latest tech, digital marketing company Storial Media created 3D models of the Prince and Princess (left) and other members of the family, including the King and Queen (right) and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Each is dressed in an outfit inspired by Barbie and Ken. It is not the first time Prince William and Kate have been given the full Barbie treatment, however. A limited edition…

Sparks flew when Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague first set eyes on each other in the Love Island villa in Majorca in 2019. Fast forward four years and the 24-year-old professional boxer, half-brother of world heavy weight champion Tyson, delivered a knockout proposal when he asked the social media influencer, also 24, to be his wife. As the couple enjoyed breathtaking views of the Mediterranean on a clifftop in Ibiza, romantic Tommy knelt on a bed of rose petals and asked: “Will you marry me?” Overcome with emotion, the new mum, who was cradling their six-month-old daughter Bambi in her arms, beamed as she replied: “Yes.” Molly-Mae was wearing the perfect outfit for the occasion – a bridal white Alex Perry strapless jumpsuit – while Tommy looked the part in…

Everything about George Alagiah’s career shouted “superstar”. He was a multi-award-winning journalist, a writer who’d penned two best-selling memoirs. He was well travelled, good-looking and a hugely popular TV news presenter, trusted by millions of people. He’d even been awarded an OBE. But the George I knew never, ever behaved like a superstar. A man at the top of his game, he was always humble, kind and generous. Our paths didn’t really cross until 2009. Before then, I was a young reporter making my way in the BBC in the 1990s and George was one of the corporation’s star correspondents based overseas. INSPIRING OTHERS His work covering the continent of Africa in particular, from the transition to black majority rule in South Africa, to the growing pains of states adjusting…

Her hauntingly beautiful version of the ballad Nothing Compares 2 U made her one of the defining talents of the 1990s, whose music was rivalled in influence only by her passionate activism. And tributes have flooded in for Grammy-winning singer Sinéad O’Connor following her death at the age of 56. Musician Alison Moyet paid homage to the Irish star’s voice that “cracked stone with force & by increment”, while Annie Lennox called her “fierce and fragile”. The outpouring of grief stretched far beyond the music world, with social media inundated with tributes. Ireland’s Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: “Her music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare”. Jamie Lee Curtis described her as a “warrior” and “rebel”, while Irish author Marian Keyes said: “Rest in…

Her jewellery has been worn by the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice and Queen Letizia of Spain, among a host of famous faces that also includes supermodels and Hollywood stars. But last week British designer Monica Vinader enjoyed a royal seal of approval when the Queen visited the jeweller’s Norfolk studios. It may have been a rather damp summer’s day, but Her Majesty was in sunny spirits as she joined Monica on a tour of the company’s headquarters on the rural Holkham Estate and revealed that her visit had been the source of some envy. EYES ON THE PRIZE “My grandchildren – well, my granddaughters – are incredibly jealous of me being here today,” she said. “They follow you [on social media]. When they found out…

When there are two creatives in the family, artistic differences – and similarities – are inevitable. That’s certainly the case with Leah Wood and her father, Rolling Stones guitarist and prolific artist Ronnie. The singer, model, mum and environmental campaigner is also an established artist, having painted all her life – much like her rock star dad. But, she says, that’s where the comparison ends. “I love my dad’s work, but it’s very different to mine,” Leah, 44, tells HELLO!. “He will critique my work and go: ‘I think you need to do more work on the eyes, they’re the windows to the soul.’ And I’ll come back and say: ‘Er, I think it’s really good,’ and he’ll be like: ‘No, it’s not.’ And I’ll say: ‘Okay! I’ve been shut…
