‘PALAZZO SPINOLA IS A SYMBOL OF GENOA – AND MY FAMILY’S HOME’Giorgina Giorgina and Sveva Clavarino’s family palazzo in Genoa is a fitting setting for these sisters – aristocratic influencers who are making waves in the world of style. Built in 1558 at the high tide of the Italian Renaissance, it evokes a time when Genoa ruled the oceans as a great maritime power, a cosmopolitan city-state known as La Superba. The palazzo – commissioned by international diplomat and banker Angelo Giovanni Spinola – was one of its many glories. Fast-forward to 2017, when another prominent Genoan – Giorgina and Sveva’s uncle, Carlo Clavarino – made it his home. From the start, Carlo was determined to showcase not only the house’s remarkable heritage but also that of the city itself.…

When US author Candace Bushnell divorced, she didn’t spend time wallowing in self-pity but instead got back in the saddle – literally – by throwing herself into a new passion. “I got a couple of horses and started doing dressage. I was competing. I thought I’d be an amateur dressage champion, and then I realised: ‘Oh, wait, this is a little bit ridiculous,” she exclusively tells HELLO! from her home in the Hamptons ahead of the sole UK date of her one-woman show True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City, in London on 17 March. “Of course, it was sad, but I didn’t sit around crying about it. I just got on with things, as we do as women.” Showing that women don’t need men to thrive…

With Cheltenham Festival under starter’s orders next week, the safe bet will be on Zara Tindall to scoop the best-dressed rosette once again. Although the Olympic equestrienne is happier in the saddle than in the spotlight, she has galloped ahead in the style stakes in recent years. Her sartorial style, which combines elegant tailoring with practicality, is, she says, influenced by her mother the Princess Royal and stylist Annie Miall, who worked with her for this photoshoot. It’s a first look at a campaign to announce Zara’s new role as official ambassador for luxury fashion brand Fairfax & Favor. Having been an avid racegoer since she was a child and now a Cheltenham Racecourse committee member, Zara has become something of an inspiration when it comes to selecting what to…

EMMA WATSON Harry Potter star aims for Oxford doctorate Emma Watson has enrolled in a doctor of philosophy (DPhil) course in creative writing at the University of Oxford. The Harry Potter actress, 34, has progressed to a DPhil after earning an MA in creative writing from the institution and a BA in English Literature from Brown University in 2014. She completed two years at the Rhode Island campus in the US before taking a break to complete film projects. “I’ve been in charge of my own education since I started out on Potter when I was nine or ten, and I liked that I could design my own major,” she said in 2015.

Harrison Ford is quite the marvel. Aged 82, the Hollywood legend is still going strong – and he is now making his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with new superhero film Captain America: Brave New World. The A-list star, best known for his performances as Han Solo in Star Wars and as Indiana Jones, has taken over the late William Hurt’s role as Thaddeus E “Thunderbolt” Ross, who is elected US President but is later transformed into the monstrous Red Hulk. Responding to the suggestion that the character is based on President Donald Trump, Harrison says: “That’s for people to make that comparison if they want to. That wasn’t our intention. “People will bring their own experience to the movie, but there was not a deliberate attempt to make…

As one of the original supermodels, Naomi Campbell has never lost her ability to strut her stuff on the catwalk. And the South London-born star showed invited guests exactly how it’s done as she expertly closed the Dsquared2 show at Milan Fashion Week. The 54-year-old commanded attention in a leather corset and matching knee-high boots at the presentation, which marked the label’s 30th anniversary. “More than a runway, it’s an electrifying fusion of fashion, music and pop culture,” the brand explained. “Naomi Campbell is the supermodel and cultural force in the fashion industry.” She responded by posting an image of her at the show on social media and writing next to it: “Happy 30th Dsquared2! From opening your Fall/Winter 2003 show to the many campaigns we’ve shot over the years,…

Bodily functions, embarrassing crushes and down-there hair… I will talk about pretty much everything. But money? I find chatting about that cringier than watching sex scenes with an elderly relative. So why am I – and perhaps you – so fearful of financial conversations? I think it’s because we were brought up thinking that it’s just not polite to talk cash. That it’s brash, showy or crass. But I’ve learnt – the hard way – that ignoring money can lead to friction in relationships, whether it’s with friends, families or partners. My ex-husband and I were compatible in many ways but our attitudes to finances differed. He was cautious; I was more of a risk-taker. For many years, we would say we complemented each other. But by the time we…

When Isla Fisher was offered a role in her latest film, she jumped at the chance – not least because it was guaranteed to win her some serious cool-mum points. The Australian actress, who has two daughters, aged 17 and 14, and a nine-year-old son with her former husband, British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, stars in DreamWorks’ new animated comedy Dog Man – and the character is already a favourite in her household. “All my kids are excited, my son especially. He and all his friends love Dog Man. I’m a cool mom at last; just for this moment,” she laughs. “My son has been reading Dog Man books since they were first published in 2016. I remember when we went to Australia during the Covid-19 pandemic, those books were…

Drawing inspiration from memories including global travel and his own rich heritage, French-born perfumer Kilian Hennessy founded Kilian Paris in 2007. As a descendant of Richard Hennessy, the visionary behind the famous cognac house established in 1765, he is maintaining a legacy of fine craftsmanship as he redefines luxury scents. ‘For me, a luxury night out is dinner with my fiancée in a two-Michelin-starred restaurant. And an omakase in a Japanese sushi bar is my favourite meal. The simple luxury that brings me the most joy is having my coffee in the morning on the terrace of my Andalusian paradise home. My beauty routine comprises Crème de la Mer moisturiser at night and matte fluid for the day. My go-to scent is Angels’ Share Paradis – my latest creation, built…

It’s a night on which the stars of film and TV are celebrated in a glittering ceremony. And last week, some of the biggest names on our screens graced the red carpet in their most glamorous outfits as they attended the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild awards. From Demi Moore and Ralph Fiennes to Zoe Saldaña and Timothée Chalamet, Hollywood’s finest attended the only televised awards ceremony that exclusively honours actors, with all categories voted for by members of the SAG-AFTRA union. The night belonged to two-time Academy Award-winner Jane Fonda, who at the age of 87 was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Wearing a peach sequinned Armani Privé dress, the On Golden Pond star and political activist took to the stage to a standing ovation, telling the audience:…

BILLIE’S LOOKING ROSEY AGAIN AFTER ENGLAND RUGBY WIN When England took on Scotland at Twickenham in the men’s Six Nations, Billie Piper was there to see it, joining VIP guests at a pre-match warm-up event hosted by the rugby union tournament’s official partner, IHG Hotels & Resorts. Billie shared photos taken behind the scenes at the venue. “So lovely to see you,” fellow guest Emily Atack replied to her post. And although Scotland supporters had little to celebrate at the end of the match, the same cannot be said of fans of Billie’s popular alter ego, Doctor Who’s Rose Tyler. Last week, it was revealed that she will be reunited with her 2005 time-travelling co-star Christopher Eccleston for a series of hour-long audio dramas, due to be released from August.…

As a mother of three with six siblings of her own, actress Kate Hudson knows she has to speak up in order to be heard. “I’ve been raising my voice and trying to find my power since I was little,” the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star says. “It’s just what it is when you grow up with boys. You have to scream over everything because they just aren’t listening.” Kate – the daughter of Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson, who divorced when she was just 18 months old – was raised by Goldie and her long-term boyfriend Kurt Russell, whom Kate considers her father. The 45-year-old actress, who grew up with elder brother Oliver, stepbrother Boston – from Kurt’s first marriage – and…

As she finally launches her long-anticipated lifestyle series on Netflix this week, all eyes are on the Duchess of Sussex. In what could prove to be a make-or-break moment for her and the Duke’s future plans, the eight-part programme celebrating “the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship” starts streaming after weeks of delay. Originally due to air on 15 January, the show – titled With Love, Meghan – was postponed so the couple could “focus on the needs of those affected by the wildfires” in her home state of California. But in the intervening weeks, they have faced a catalogue of complications. Last month, nearly a year after she sent out jars of homemade jam wrapped in an American Riviera Orchard logo for celebrity friends to share on…

The Prince and Princess of Wales were given the warmest of welcomes in Pontypridd last week, surprising locals by arriving via train for their first joint visit to Wales since October 2023. Wearing a chic red Alexander McQueen coat, the Princess accessorised with a pin of the national flower of Wales, the yellow daffodil, ahead of St David’s Day on 1 March, as did her husband Prince William. The country is close to the hearts of the couple, who lived on the Welsh island of Anglesey when they were newlyweds. Following an hour’s delay due to train disruptions caused by flooding, William, 42, and Kate, 43, were greeted by cheering crowds as they arrived at Pontypridd Market, the heart of the community since 1805. They visited the town to learn…

Being thousands of miles from home is a whole lot easier when you get to bring your family with you, as Hollywood actress Christina Hendricks found out first-hand. Shooting Chris O’Dowd’s new comedy-drama Small Town, Big Story in rural Ireland was an intense, fivemonth-long process – “We were working our butts off,” she tells hello! in this exclusive interview – but the Mad Men star had no fears about being away for so long. “Luckily, I had my husband [camera operator George Bianchini] and my dog, and so I had my family, which makes a huge difference. We were just on this adventure and we were embracing it.” IRISH EYES SMILING Writer and director Chris, 45 – who also appears in the show – didn’t have to look far for…

Ariana Grande starred in one of the most talked-about films of 2024, so it was no surprise that the actress and singer was invited to join her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo on stage at the 97th Academy Awards for a bewitching performance of the film’s song Defying Gravity. Having been nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for her role in the screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical, Ariana approached the glittering performance at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre last weekend as a way to round off an experience that has helped her heal following tough times. “Laughter is the best thing we have – and friendship,” she says of her role as Glinda. “It was always a wonderful escape for me. I’m so grateful that it found its way back…

She is the Cambridge-born star who is taking the music industry by storm on both sides of the Atlantic. And as Charli XCX and her Brat style dominate fashion and popular culture, not to mention the recent Brit and Grammy awards, those from her childhood remember a talented individual whose star was always destined to rise to the top. The singer, 32, attended the fee-paying Bishop’s Stortford College in Hertfordshire, and one teacher there tells hello! exclusively: “There was a presence about Charli that was rare for her age. She walked into a room and lit it up, particularly when she was on stage, but that was also true in the classroom. “Admirably, though, Charli was never a conformist – she did things her own way and remained true to…

Three months after the death of her beloved dog Beth, the Queen announced last week that there was a new pooch at the palace. During an engagement in Kent, Her Majesty revealed that she had adopted an eight-week-old puppy, called Moley because she looks like a mole. The new arrival was rescued from London’s Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, of which the Queen is patron. The charity is also the place where she adopted Jack Russells Beth in 2011 and Bluebell a year later. Camilla shared the news as she affectionately stroked a guide dog while meeting a partially sighted museum group inside the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge in Canterbury. Bending down to stroke Fergie the labrador – who also had a royal link, having been named after…

The Prince of Wales has described the past year as “brutal” for his family, and a former royal aide has now revealed that Prince William was at his “lowest” after his wife the Princess’s cancer diagnosis. Jason Knauf was formerly chief executive of William and Kate’s Royal Foundation, stepping down at the end of 2022, and had also worked as communications secretary for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. In an unprecedented interview with 60 Minutes Australia, which was broadcast recently, he said: “Within a couple of weeks, if you’re Prince William, you find out that both your wife and your father have cancer. I couldn’t believe it.” And Jason described his call with the Prince about his wife’s shock diagnosis, which she revealed to the public last March. “It…

Stylish stars turned out in their finest checks and plaids for Burberry’s London Fashion Week show in the majestic setting of the Tate Britain art gallery. Actors, models and royalty sported the British brand’s signature look as they were given a first glimpse of the autumn/winter 2025-26 collection. Some also took to the runway to walk in the show, which brought the week to a stylish close with its tribute to luxury and tradition – with a cutting edge. MODEL BEHAVIOUR Leading the charge with her daughters Elizabeth and Georgia May Jagger was Jerry Hall, chic in a black faux-leather coat and knee-high boots. Fellow models Elizabeth, 40, and Georgia May, 33, who warmed to the check theme, weren’t the only famous offspring in the vaulted galleries. Perhaps taking a…

Saoirse Ronan GET THE LOOK Actress Saoirse Ronan channelled timeless elegance with a sophisticated look at the Bafta Awards last month. The Little Women star opted for bold red lips with pearl-like skin and a slicked-back bun to complement her 1990s-inspired Louis Vuitton gown. Her mantra when it comes to beauty? “Always choose a look that makes you feel like yourself.”…

Only the most elite among his clientele – Madonna, Elton, Rihanna – share his level of recognition, known by their first names alone. Nobu (Matsuhisa), the visionary chef and restaurateur, has built a global empire, with nearly 60 restaurants from Miami to Marbella, along with an impressive portfolio of 38 luxury hotels and resorts. “When I see the sign ‘Nobu’, which is my name, it makes me so happy,” he says with a smile, reflecting on the entrance to Nobu Portman Square as we sit in his personal suite. “It means that when I come here, it feels like home.” He continues: “London was my first lesson in Europe. I was born in Japan, then built my business in the US, but now I feel as though London is my…
