With Formula 1 fast becoming the spectator sport of choice for the A-list, these days you can guarantee a starry trackside turnout at any F1 weekend – and the final Grand Prix of 2024 was no exception. Geri Horner (far left) was among the famous faces who travelled to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit for the event, which saw a disappointing result for Red Bull, the team run by her husband Christian. The Spice Girl’s appearance came after Christian paid tribute to her in an interview in which he talked about facing allegations of inappropriate and coercive behaviour towards a female employee earlier this year. The Red Bull chief executive – who was cleared of any wrongdoing – praised his “tremendous family”, telling the Daily Mail: “My wife has been…

There was no shortage of Christmas spirit when celebrity supporters of the Lady Garden Foundation, a gynaecological health charity, joined co-founders Tamara Beckwith Veroni and Jenny Halpern Prince at St John the Baptist Church in West London for the organisation’s annual fundraising carol service. Minnie Driver, Donna Air, David Walliams and Trinny Woodall (right, with Tamara) were among those who gave readings at the event. After watching proudly as his wife, fellow actor Claire Forlani, addressed the congregation, Crime and Mission: Impossible 2 star Dougray Scott said: “It’s really important for men to be involved in women’s issues as well.” For Tamara, the evening was particularly poignant as it brought back memories of her mother Paula, whose death from endometrial cancer in 2011 was instrumental in her decision to help…

The Princess of Wales has endured a year of unprecedented personal challenges – nine months of treatment and a necessary retreat from royal life in the face of “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed form of cancer. From the moment she shared the news that she, like the King, was undergoing treatment for the disease, Kate, 42, showed calmness and courage. After initially keeping her diagnosis private, until she had been able to process it with her husband the Prince and their young children in what was “an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family”, she has since kept an anxious public informed in her own way, with two very personal video messages. In the first, released in March, a pale and strained-looking Princess explained that she was undergoing…

If tough times are a test of character, the future King clearly has what it takes. He may have been prepared for royal responsibility since childhood, but in 2024, the Prince of Wales was faced with circumstances that even he could hardly have envisaged. Shouldering the burden of official duties as both his father the King and wife the Princess of Wales dealt with cancer diagnoses, Prince William had the tricky job of striking a balance between his public and private lives, keeping the institution and his own young family on track. He did it with strength and grace, seen in the many photographs of him engaging with presidents and pensioners, celebrities and schoolchildren. William also drafted in his cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, plus…

This year was a big one for the Duke of Sussex, who turned 40 on 15 September. And as he reached this milestone, it seemed that life was settling down for Prince Harry and his wife the Duchess, four years after their departure from the royal fold. From their home in Montecito, California, the couple have been working out a way to pursue their public agenda “on their own terms”, an insider tells HELLO!. Drawing a line under the controversial criticisms of the royal family that had kept them in the news for so long, they focused instead on the good causes they champion – such as the power of sport to change lives, women’s issues and protecting children and young people online. The Duke and Duchess’s joint ventures, such…

It’s the time of year when little angels everywhere dust off their haloes and wise men gather gifts for baby Jesus – and the royal family is no exception as nativity season gets into full swing. From Queen Elizabeth II (when she was Princess Elizabeth) and her sister Princess Margaret to Princes William and Harry and their cousin Princess Beatrice, the young royals have always thrown themselves into their Christmas plays. The Prince and Princess of Wales love to watch their children’s festive performances, perhaps reminding them of their own childhood rituals. “I went to my boy’s nativity play. It was funny; he was a sheep,” William said in 2017, when his elder son Prince George was five. William’s own starring role as an innkeeper in his kindergarten production in…

Emily Blunt may be an A-list actress to the rest of the world, but at home with her two young daughters, she’s just mum. The British star’s children with her husband of 14 years, actor and producer John Krasinski – Hazel, ten, and eight-year-old Violet – don’t even like watching her films, including The Devil Wears Prada and Mary Poppins Returns. Not that Emily, 41, finds this discouraging. “I’ve spoken to other actors who say the same thing – your children don’t like watching you. They just don’t want to see Mummy like that. It’s weird for them. “They don’t like me when I put make-up on, let alone a wig or a different voice,” she says, speaking at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. “There…

Hugh Grant is enjoying a renaissance in his screen career. Over the past few years we’ve seen him evolve from the charming and foppish lead in romcoms such as Notting Hill into spine-chilling villains such as Nicole Kidman’s murderous husband in Netflix series The Undoing and the funny – but no less wicked – ageing actor in Paddington 2. Now making his horror debut in the film Heretic, his latest incarnation is as Mr Reed, a sinister Briton living in the States who invites two Mormon missionary sisters into his house to discuss their faith before entrapping them. Here, Hugh, 64 – who has children John Mungo, 12, Lulu, eight and Blue, six, with his wife Anna Eberstein and another two with his ex-partner Tinglan Hon – talks about faith,…

During this season of excess and indulgence, it’s nice to find out that something as pleasurable as a bath has untold benefits for wellbeing. Yes, a long hot soak can be calming and comforting; it can loosen your muscles, lift your mood or set you up for a peaceful sleep. But in addition, warm water (around 38ºC) helps reduce your blood pressure, while a hotter bath (42ºC or higher) boosts blood flow. One study even suggests that a hot bath can use up as many calories as a 30-minute walk. Then there’s the steam, which works wonders for stuffy noses. Some scientists say that the weight of water improves lung capacity and oxygen intake, which gives your immune system a little boost. And a sprinkling of bath salts can reduce…

I’d gift this Neom Wellbeing Pod to my sister (and be secretly envious, as I’d love to receive it myself). I love experimenting with essential oils in my own diffuser but this one doesn’t even require water, plus it’s wireless. I find that scent can really shift my mood – whether I need something to invigorate me before work or help me wind down before bed – and this diffuser is compact enough to take on holiday, pop in your downstairs bathroom or keep on your desk in a home office. *Selected stores and products, subject to availability…

PARIS HILTON “My favourite holiday tradition is all getting together,” says the heiress and mother of two. “We love to go to Aspen and go skiing. My mom is obsessed with Christmas. She’s like Mrs Claus and decks out the whole house. It just feels so happy and cosy, going over there.” ‘I’m going to sit down, be at home and feel like Santa Claus’Jennifer Hudson JENNIFER HUDSON “Christmas is the only time of the year I take off,” says the actress and singer, who is spreading joy with her own festive album this year. “I’m going to sit down, be at home and feel like Santa Claus.

Close friends with plenty of shared life experiences – from modelling to motherhood and building a brand – Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber have always supported one another. So when Gigi opened her cashmere knitwear label Guest in Residence’s new store in Los Angeles, Hailey found time in her busy schedule to support her. This was Hailey’s first high-profile public appearance since giving birth in August to Jack, the son she shares with pop star husband Justin. Putting her own vintage spin on a Christmas classic, she chose a burgundy velvet skirt suit from Tom Ford’s 2002 autumn collection for Yves Saint Laurent, while Gigi modelled knits from her own line. Keen to give an even bigger boost to the label, Hailey, 29, also included two Guest in Residence items…

Taking time out from building his hot sauce empire, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his wife Nicola embarked on a desert adventure during a trip to Abu Dhabi for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The couple took the opportunity to explore the dunes in the most traditional of ways, hopping on board a camel together. And perhaps inspired by the F1 excitement, Nicola got behind the wheel of a dune buggy, while her husband of two years stuck to the passenger side. Each shared photos of their short break on social media, uploading clips and stills. “Thank you for the beautiful memories,” Nicola captioned her post, while Brooklyn, 25, revealed they’d had “so much fun in Abu Dhabi”. Less than a fortnight earlier, Brooklyn and Nicola, 29, had spent Thanksgiving a…

There can have been no more welcome sight for royal fans this year than that of the Princess of Wales taking her place on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for Trooping the Colour in June. Elegant in white and smiling in delight, Kate looked as thrilled to be back as we were to see her. After six months away from the spotlight as she underwent treatment for cancer, she stood alongside her beloved family as she made her formal return to public life. And although she had explained that she was facing “good days and bad days”, it was clear that things had taken a turn for the better. The following month, when sports fan Kate attended the men’s tennis singles final at Wimbledon, flanked by daughter Princess Charlotte and…

Hard-working, loyal and discreet, the Princess Royal has long been one of the most admired members of the royal family. And this year she has continued to prove her worth, stepping into the breach to keep the wheels of public service turning while the King and the Princess of Wales underwent treatment for cancer. Princess Anne, 74, was a key attendee at international events to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in June, visiting Arnhem, Normandy and Bayeux. Despite suffering an equestrian accident that required hospital treatment later that month, she was quick to take up the reins of royal duty once more, prompting the Prince and Princess of Wales to dub her “super trooper” in a loving message on X (formerly Twitter). That praise could apply equally…

Some of this year’s most fascinating insights into the royal family came from the Queen’s son Tom Parker Bowles and the Princess of Wales’s brother James Middleton, both speaking exclusively to HELLO!. Describing his stepfather as “the kindest, most knowledgeable, lovely man”, food writer Tom, 49, admitted that, as an adolescent in the 1990s, he struggled with the spotlight cast on his family due to his mother’s romance with the then Prince of Wales. However, crediting Camilla and his father Andrew Parker Bowles with keeping him grounded, Tom said that he and his sister Laura Lopes “have always had a loving family that gives us security”. That’s something they share with the Princess of Wales, he added, revealing: “You’ll find with the Middletons as well that, when things start going…

When we catch up with actress Kristin Davis, she has just finished filming romantic comedy drama series And Just Like That… and is ready for some rest and relaxation at home this Christmas. Speaking of her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon, Kristin says the trio may well catch up over the festive break. “We’ve just wrapped filming for season three, so I’m sure we’ll all be taking time to rest and recuperate for 2025. We always check in with each other over the holidays,” she says. However, the star, who shot to fame playing Charlotte York in Sex and the City and is mum to Gemma Rose, 13, and six-year-old Wilson, exclusively tells HELLO! what she is looking forward to the most. “I’ll be spending Christmas with my…

Like a golden goddess, Sarah Jessica Parker dazzled on the red carpet in a glittering frock that would have made her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw proud. The Sex and the City star – who was appearing at the closing ceremony of the annual Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia – looked stunning in a silver, gold and bronze ombré gown by Oscar de la Renta, which dripped with sequins and fell away at the thigh into a sparkling fringe. She accessorised with strappy gold heels and statement gold earrings. Sarah had taken time out from filming the third season of And Just Like That…, the reboot of Sex and the City, to attend the festival in Jeddah’s old town of Al-Balad – which, as ever, attracted a guest…

ETRO × WOLFORD Luxury hosiery and lingerie brand Wolford has teamed up with Etro to create a collection of ultra-fine figure-hugging bodysuits, tights, leggings and catsuits featuring the Italian fashion house’s trademark paisley design. JD WILLIAMS With an extensive collection in a broad range of sizes, the brand from Newark, New Jersey offers something for everyone.

Right now I’ve got chilblains on my chilblains, my skin is drier than ever and everything from loo seat to steering wheel is the source of an unwelcome chill. I’ve always thought of myself as a summer person. Deep winter, by contrast, is just something to battle through until the first signs of spring. But imagine if that weren’t the case – if you could actively love these months. I know, it’s a hard ask. I’ve stumbled across a new book by Kari Leibowitz called How to Winter: Harness Your Mindset to Thrive on Cold, Dark or Difficult Days. She is a US psychologist who, like me, “grew up hating winter”. Then she moved to Tromso in Norway, where the sun doesn’t rise from the end of November until mid-January.…

It’s 20 years since Lindsay Lohan shot to fame in hit teen comedy Mean Girls, and now the Hollywood actress, singer and producer is back on our screens with a new Christmas movie, Our Little Secret. The 38-year-old star, who started modelling aged three and landed her first major film role in a remake of The Parent Trap just seven years later, is back after a turbulent spell led to her taking a break from the industry. She now lives in Dubai with Bader Shammas, her financier husband of two years, and their 18-month-old son Luai. Here, she opens up about her festive new film, which is her third movie for Netflix, as well as returning with renewed energy and enjoying her second Christmas as a mother. Lindsay, does the…

After filing for divorce from Ben Affleck in August, Jennifer Lopez seems keen to leave the past behind and live up to the title of her latest film, Unstoppable. The singer and actress looked her glamorous best in photos she posted on social media, taken after a night out with friends. Wearing a black sequinned Monôt dress featuring a low back and cut-out detail – also favoured by model Elsa Hosk at an awards ceremony in 2023 – with spike heels, diamond earrings and plenty of attitude, Jennifer threatened to out-sparkle the huge Christmas tree that served as a backdrop to one of the images. Others showed her in the kitchen of her home in Beverly Hills, rustling up a “midnight snack”, something she described as “MY FAVOURITE PART about…

When Princess Charlene of Monaco oversaw the official opening of the annual Christmas village in Monaco’s Port Hercule, it was all about the three Fs: family, festivities and fun. The Princess (left) was with her children, twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, who were keen to explore attractions including a Ferris wheel, merry-go-rounds and stalls selling everything from traditional sweets to handmade wooden toys. More than making up for the absence of their father Prince Albert – who was believed to have been en route to Paris for the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral – the twins charmed onlookers as they toured the gingerbread-themed village and posed for photos with their mother, the Mayor of Monaco and a troupe of traditionally dressed young dancers. The event was an early birthday treat…

Just 17 months into the role for which he had waited a lifetime, the King began treatment for cancer. Buckingham Palace’s announcement on 5 February set the tone for the stoic way in which the 76-year-old monarch would deal with the situation. Noting the King’s gratitude for the swift action of his doctors, who had discovered the issue during surgery on a benign enlarged prostate, it went on to say that he was “wholly positive about his treatment” and that, although he needed to scale back his workload temporarily, he “looked forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible”. And that’s exactly what he did. By early April, when he and the Queen celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, Charles was out and about, choosing for his first…

Over the past 12 months, the Queen has stepped up on two fronts, continuing her royal duties while also supporting her husband the King as he faced treatment for cancer. Positive, practical and devoted, she has helped His Majesty fulfil his wish to carry on as far as possible with business as usual. She was by his side as he hosted foreign dignitaries, commemorated solemn anniversaries and even undertook a tour to the other side of the world. On her 77th birthday on 17 July, she found herself amid the splendour of the State Opening of Parliament, and three months later accompanied the King to Australia and Samoa. Despite suffering from pneumonia towards the end of the year, the Queen has been a near-constant presence for her husband, encouraging him…

During their busy rounds of public appearances, the royals sometimes get to mix business with pleasure, and this summer’s elite sporting events provided many such opportunities. The Prince of Wales – then president, now patron of the Football Association – looked delighted to attend the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in May, accompanied by his eldest son Prince George, who echoed his dad’s style in a smart suit and tie. Two months later, the pair travelled further afield to Berlin, where they cheered on England’s men’s team as they played Spain in the final of Uefa’s Euro 2024 championship. Following the Three Lions’ narrow defeat, the Princess of Wales shared a photo of George’s siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis watching the match at home, with the message: “England,…

If troubles really do come in threes, then the royal family felt the first blow land when Sarah, Duchess of York discovered just two days into the new year that she was suffering from malignant melanoma – ahead of the King and the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnoses. Despite having only recently recovered from breast cancer, Sarah remained characteristically buoyant, speaking of the comfort she finds in her two daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. In an exclusive interview with HELLO!, Sarah said: “They support me through thick and thin. We call each other ‘The Tripod’ because we prop each other up, come what may.” She was overjoyed by the news, announced in October, that next spring Beatrice, 36, will become a mum of two, like her 34-year-old sister. Alongside motherhood…

Zara Tindall got into the Christmas spirit with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie for a fun gathering at a chic Mexican restaurant in London. The King’s niece hosted the festive lunch for her cousins and a group of friends, who shared plenty of laughter as they spilled out into the street afterwards. TV presenters Natalie Pinkham, Sarah-Jane Mee, Georgie Ainslie, Anna Woolhouse and Di Stewart joined the royals at Ixchel in Chelsea, said to be one of Beatrice’s favourite haunts. Although pregnant Beatrice wasn’t photographed, the rest of the group shared kisses and hugs outside as they prepared to head home. And they appeared to have worked up an appetite with a spot of Christmas shopping: most of them were carrying large bags and Sarah-Jane was clutching a roll of festive…

It was a very special Christmas surprise for Joss Stone and her husband Cody DaLuz this year. The couple had been waiting for 18 months to adopt a younger sibling for their children, Violet, three, and Shackleton, two, and were expecting to bring him home in the new year. But, as Joss reveals in this exclusive interview, baby Bear was born more than two months early and was welcomed into the family home in late November. Introducing her and Cody’s new son in these heartwarming pictures, the singer can’t wait to celebrate the festive season at home in Nashville with her new family of five in a “little love bubble”. “He’s the best Christmas gift ever,” Joss, 37, tells us. “What’s crazy is that we brought him home the night…

GET THE LOOK Scandal star Kerry Washington was glowing at this year’s Governors Awards, and her bronzed look is all the party-season inspiration we need. To keep her skin radiant, the 47-year-old actress says it’s all about staying hydrated. “If I have a day where I don’t get as much hydration on the inside, I can battle that a little bit with hyaluronic acid,” she says. “But being able to do both is really key – putting moisture on the outside, putting moisture on the inside.”…
