Born in Brazil and brought up in Germany, interior designer Nina Litchfield is now very much at home in Britain, where she welcomes us to her family’s colourful Victorian townhouse in London’s Notting Hill. “I love to walk into a house and get a sense of the people who live in it,” she tells us, cheerfully admitting that her own is a monochrome- and minimalism-free zone. Rather, it is decorated in her signature eclectic, fresh and fun style, which makes it the perfect setting, she says, for life with her husband, businessman Vasco, and their children Konstantin, 14, Victoria, 11, and Benedict, six. Nina, how did you get started in the design world? “At the time, I was working in the photography department at Sotheby’s. I loved that, but I…

Having spent more than a decade playing international rugby union, Mike Tindall knows a good catch when he sees one. Little wonder, then, that he looked so delighted to attend the 03 Champions Ball – held at The Dorchester hotel in London to commemorate England’s historic Rugby World Cup win in 2003 – with his wife Zara by his side (left). The year has special significance for the couple as it was during the 2003 World Cup that they first got chatting in a Sydney pub, after being introduced by some of Mike’s rugby mates. “We figured out that we both quite liked getting smashed,” Mike has said. “It was a good start.” At the ball, which raised funds for a new initiative to support retired rugby professionals with physical…

As much about style as horseracing, the Melbourne Cup attracts plenty of well-dressed guests. Luckily, if there’s someone who knows how to back a fashion winner even when the stakes are high, it’s Elizabeth Hurley. Attending the celebrated race meeting with her film-maker son Damian (together right), the actress and designer was an odds-on favourite in a form-fitting sunshine yellow Rebecca Vallance design and a floral headpiece. Returning to Australia for the first time since the death in 2022 of her former fiancé, cricketer Shane Warne, was, she said on social media, “bittersweet”. Sharing photos and clips, Elizabeth, 59, wrote on Instagram that the city was “home to so many memories”. Damian – matching his mum’s dress with a yellow rose buttonhole – also revealed his apprehension about revisiting the…

All eyes were on Jennifer Lopez when she brought a touch of glamour to London’s West End last week for a screening of her new film. Wearing a white knitted turtleneck dress by Magda Butrym, teamed with an oversized mohair coat and white Christian Louboutin heels, the 55-year-old actress posed on the red carpet with her co-stars from the biopic Unstoppable. The film – produced by Artists Equity, a company co-founded by her estranged husband Ben Affleck and his friend Matt Damon – tells the true story of Anthony Robles (played by Moonlight actor Jharrel Jerome), who was born with only one leg but went on to become a wrestling champion and author. Jennifer plays his mother, Judy, who gave birth to Anthony when she was 16 years old and…

Social media can feel like a minefield for parents when it comes to protecting children from online harm – and digital safety is an important issue for TV presenter and mum of two Tess Daly. When HELLO! catches up with the Strictly Come Dancing host – who has daughters Phoebe, 20, and Amber, 15, with her husband, fellow presenter Vernon Kay – she reveals how the couple have navigated online safety during their children’s teenage years. Tess, 55, says: “They’re actually quite savvy for their age about social media and would never respond to anything negative – that’s really not a part of their online world. “They’re wise enough to know that social media is about treating people with respect and kindness, just as you would in real life. We…

‘It’s probably been the hardest year in my life. But I really care about what I do’ William Opening up like never before about the difficult year he and his family have endured, an emotional Prince of Wales has admitted that it has been the toughest of his life as his wife the Princess and his father the King both recover from cancer. “It’s been dreadful,” Prince William said in an extraordinarily candid interview. “It’s probably been the hardest year in my life. So, trying to get through everything else and keep everything on track has been really difficult. “But I’m so proud of my wife, and I’m proud of my father, for handling the things they have done. But from a personal, family point of view, yes, it’s been brutal.”…

Throughout his visit, William wore a beaded bracelet bearing the word “Papa”, which was made for him by his daughter Princess Charlotte. Asked about his bracelet, he said: “Well, this is a relic, if you like, from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for. “She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised to wear it and try not to lose [it] while I was out here.” The Prince took both Charlotte and elder brother Prince George to the gig at Wembley Stadium on 21 June, his 42nd birthday, and was spotted dancing in a box before posing for a photograph with Swift and the children. But he revealed his nine-year-old daughter had been less than enthusiastic about…

Demi Moore has become part of an elite group of older actresses confronting stereotypes and taking Hollywood by storm. Along with Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, Demi is starring in films that challenge and question as well as entertain – and at 61, she is enjoying a career renaissance. One of the film industry’s biggest stars during the 1980s and 1990s, when she appeared in hits including Ghost, St Elmo’s Fire and Indecent Proposal, the actress took a break from the big screen to raise her three children with former husband Bruce Willis – Rumer, now 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30. Her eight-year marriage to actor Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior, brought her back into the headlines after the couple married in 2005.…

I have so much fun trying new techniques or looks that I see everyone playing around with.” ALL PRICES AND STOCKIST DETAILS IN STYLE CORRECT AT TIME OF GOING TO PRESS…

Unless you are trying to get pregnant, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about the quality of your eggs. But with recent data revealing the fertility rate in England and Wales is the lowest since records began in the 1930s, the founders of Ova Co., a supplement brand focused on egg health, say now is a good time to start. Danielle Fox-Thomas and her business partner Kat Lestage were inspired to start Ova after their own struggles with fertility – and on discovering that ovaries are one of the fastest ageing organs in the body. Here, the duo share their top tips to improve your egg quality… Danielle and Kat, can you tell us a little bit about your fertility journeys? Danielle: “We both had our own challenges through…

Stars from the worlds of Hollywood and music shone brightly at the 13th annual Lacma Art and Film Gala presented by Gucci, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last week. Guests including Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian and Kaia Gerber attended the glamorous event, which was co-chaired by museum trustee Eva Chow and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and honoured film director Baz Luhrmann and US artist Simone Leigh. Reality star and businesswoman Kim made a statement by wearing the Attallah Cross – a spectacular necklace with a giant amethyst and diamond cross pendant, once worn by Princess Diana. A CROSS TO WEAR Kim, 44, who donned a plunging white Gucci dress, teamed the striking piece with jewellery including a pearl and diamond necklace from Bulgari. The historic necklace –…

A Chanel-styled cake, a hot dog bar, karaoke and a drum solo from her two-year-old son Sidney – despite the monochrome theme, there was plenty of colour at Kelly Osbourne’s 40th birthday party. Held in Hollywood’s W Hotel, the celebration also included a photo booth, non-alcoholic cocktails and pizza delivery. Celebrating with her, the TV personality’s mother Sharon called it “so much fun”, later posting photos on Instagram. The party took place almost a week after Kelly’s actual birthday, but it was worth the wait. Wearing a strapless black Vivienne Westwood top and satin skirt (pictured), she could not stop smiling as she sang Chappell Roan’s Pink Pony Club, danced with friends including Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale and blew out the candles on her cake – a three-tiered…

Newlywed Saoirse Ronan may not be a mum in real life yet, but she drew on the close bond she enjoys with her own mother to play a maternal figure in her latest role, in Sir Steve McQueen’s big-screen wartime drama Blitz. As a single parent in 1940s London, Saoirse’s character Rita will do anything to protect her nine-year-old son George, and is brokenhearted when she feels forced to send him to the countryside with other Second World War child evacuees. It wasn’t hard for the 30-year-old Irish actress to portray the closeness between a young mum and her son. “It’s exactly in the way a young parent does with their kids, you know?” she says, speaking from Los Angeles. “I mean, my mam had me when she was 30,…

THE KING Monarch shares details of his exercise regime The King has revealed that he works out twice a day. The monarch shared the personal details with Team GB athletes who competed in Paris this summer as he congratulated the Olympic and Paralympic squads at Buckingham Palace last week. Sprinter Desiree Henry said after the reception: “He said he does squats and the pull-up bars.” Olympic diver Jack Laugher said the King was in high spirits and joked with athletes as he shook their hands. Jack said: “He was really interested in our sports facilities and training programme.” His Majesty has followed the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Five Basic Exercises regime for years. The routine of simple exercises was devised in the 1950s to keep pilots fit at home and…

For Tallulah Willis – youngest daughter of Hollywood stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore – the biggest difference since revealing her autism diagnosis in March has been the opportunity to “have such love and acceptance and softness with myself”. Speaking exclusively to HELLO!, she says: “I can speak up for what I need and know what I need. I would have days when I thought I was sick all the time, but now I know that I need to be conscious of how I spend my energy.” Tallulah caught up with us ahead of being honoured in Hollywood last month at the annual gala hosted by Autism Speaks, which works to create inclusive environments and praised her for raising awareness of the issues faced by those with the condition. “In…

It was one of Prince William’s most candid interviews ever, as he opened up about the “brutal” experience his family has undergone in the past 12 months, calling it the “hardest year” of his life writes Danielle Stacey (above, in Cape Town). We’ve heard personally from the Princess of Wales about her experience but this was the first time Prince William has revealed how his wife and father’s health crises have taken a toll on him. But watching him in action this week, he appeared relaxed, full of optimism and ready to return to the international spotlight. While he was visibly buoyed by the energy of the young environmentalists he met on his first day in South Africa, and inspired by the 15 Earthshot finalists, he said that keeping on…

‘No sooner had I jetted back from the glamour of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York than it was time to hop on to another plane – this time my destination was Marrakech. I had visited the Moroccan city only once before, for Idris and Sabrina Elba’s spectacular wedding in 2019. This time, I was attending an event that I’d been invited to many times before – the Fashion Trust Arabia Prize, a three-day affair with the awards taking place on the second night. I’d never managed to go before as the date always clashed with my elder son John’s birthday. Held at the El Badi Palace, the event was part of the Qatar-Morocco 2024 Year of Culture and brought together celebrities and industry leaders to honour exceptional…

At this time of year, your skin finds it harder to hold on to moisture. A drop in humidity can strip away up to 25% of it, and winter winds and central heating steal moisture, too, leading to tightness, sensitivity, chapped skin or flaking. One of London’s most in-demand facialists, Katharine Mackenzie Paterson (kmpskin.com), says that seasonal dryness affects all skin types, telling us: “Winter really affects moisture levels. The external climate is one of the biggest contributing factors to the topical elasticity of skin.” And like Katharine, Dr Stefanie Williams, medical director at Eudelo Dermatology & Skin Wellbeing Clinic (eudelo.com), says it’s important to prioritise serums and creams containing hyaluronic acid (HA) to target the skin’s superficial layers. “Not only does HA plump skin by holding water [it attracts…

The model (left) was among guests attending the event in Milan, where her beaded semi-sheer halter dress (also called Irina) by New York label Retrofête caught the lights, as well as everyone’s attention, on the red carpet. Irina, 38, who stars in promotional material for the new collection in her native Russia, later took to social media to share campaign shots, along with images from the launch party in the city’s spectacular Palazzo Visconti. “Had the best time to work with D’alba,” she captioned her post. “LOVE u guys.” But although she made no attempt to hide her feelings about…

It’s not just her red hair that Princess Beatrice has inherited from Sarah, Duchess of York.

Donald Trump will become the 47th US President after defeating his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential race. The news was announced on 6 November after he won more than the 270 Electoral College votes required for victory. He also celebrated a Republican majority in the Senate and by the end of last week seemed on track to win in the House of Representatives, too. The President-elect – at 78, the oldest person ever elected to the office – is due to be inaugurated on Monday 20 January. He called his win “a magnificent victory for the American people”, saying: “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.” He also promised to “help our country heal”, adding: “We are going to make this country better than…

As we sit down for breakfast at London’s chic Treehouse hotel, enjoying superb views across the city, Fern Britton is just as warm and welcoming as you’d expect. After watching her host ITV’s This Morning for a decade from 1999, it’s rather like sitting down with an old friend. Fern, 67, has lit up our screens for 40 years, presenting shows including Ready Steady Cook and Fern Britton Meets, as well as competing on Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother. She’s also a successful author and in her latest book, The Older I Get, she writes about navigating midlife. Fern tells us: “At this age, we’ve got 20 healthy years left, if we’re lucky, which is great. We’ve learnt so much up to this point, and it’s been hard…
