Enfant terrible of design Vincent Darré was born in Paris and began his career in fashion, working for top houses such as Moschino, Yves Saint Laurent and Prada. But it was only when he moved into interiors that he found true fulfilment, giving free rein to the baroque, sometimes surreal and always playful style for which he’s become renowned. Now, as he welcomes us into his flamboyant new apartment near the Eiffel Tower, we enter the epicentre of his creative world, his “little dream palace”, as he calls it. Famous for his parties, Vincent constantly throws his home open to his “chosen family” of friends, the huge circle of artists which, over the years, has included personalities including Karl Lagerfeld, Sir Mick Jagger and Andy Warhol. Among his favourite people…

BROOKE SHIELDS Surrounded by white sand and palm trees, Brooke Shields couldn’t have looked happier as she rang in her 60th trip around the sun. The US actress kicked off her “new decade of life” with a beautiful birthday photo that sees her beaming from ear to ear against a glorious tropical backdrop. In the dazzling beach-side photo, which she posted on Instagram, the Hollywood star models sea-drenched hair and a black bikini as she relaxes on a hammock, her stylish straw hat on hand to shade her from the sun. “Woke up today in paradise… and in a new decade of life! This is 60! Thank you for all of the birthday love,” she wrote. MAYA JAMA It’s the summer of love for Maya Jama, who enjoyed a romantic…

Mia Threapleton admits that she wept tears of joy on the London Underground after learning that she had been cast in a leading role in Wes Anderson’s new film The Phoenician Scheme. “I genuinely didn’t believe it was true,” Kate Winslet’s daughter says. “I was on a train at the time and I just sat down on the floor and had a little cry.” The role is a game-changer for Mia, who, though grateful for Kate’s advice and support, has never wanted to trade on her mother’s famous name. When she auditioned for the role, she got Academy Award-winning Kate to play opposite her as she read her lines for a tape sent to director Wes – but asked her mother to stay off screen and disguise her voice, which…

Diana, Princess of Wales’s fashion sense truly was “timeless”, one of her favourite designers exclusively tells HELLO! – and nowhere will this be more in evidence than in a forthcoming, potentially record-breaking auction of more than 300 items that include some of her best-known looks. Speaking to HELLO! at a preview of Princess Diana Style & A Royal Collection at Julien’s Auctions, which will host the sale in Los Angeles on 26 June, designer Jacques Azagury recalled how “dressing Diana was more about her – I tried to keep the dress as secondary”. Jacques is known for the “famous five”: glamorous evening dresses that Diana wore in her later years, such as the short, ice-blue number she chose for a gala performance of Swan Lake in 1997, and the black…

Royal Ascot returns next week in all its glory: a heady mix of summer glamour, sporting excitement and royalty on parade. But for shoe designer Eleanor Wellesley, it’s all about the horses – even if, for the past two years, her aunt and uncle the 9th Duke and the Duchess of Wellington, who are close friends of the King, have travelled in the first carriage of the royal procession with His Majesty and the Queen. “I love to go down to the parade ring and watch the horses go down to the start line,” she tells us in this exclusive photoshoot at her home in West London, which is filled with “a lot of horsey photos”. Eleanor, 29, is known for her elevated range of espadrilles, and one could say…

Last month I found myself strapped to a plethora of monitors, which were measuring my heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart sounds and more. This came after my blood was taken, my eye pressure had been tested and I’d stood in a blindingly bright chamber in just my knickers, with the bright lights assessing every single marking on my body in less than a minute. “What in the Black Mirror is going on?” I hear you ask. Let me explain. I’d booked in for the sought-after Neko Body Scan, the £299 whole-body check with a 20,000-strong waitlist (nekohealth.com). Taking place in a futuristic space in London’s Marylebone, results are delivered in a doctor’s consultation after just 30 minutes. Such is the demand for the assessment, Neko recently open a…

Luke Brady is taking the West End by storm with his biggest role yet: as dashing demigod Hercules in the new stage version of Disney’s beloved 1997 animation, which starred the voices of Tate Donovan, Danny DeVito and Michael Bolton. Despite spending the day in rehearsal fighting a menagerie of creatures from Greek mythology, Luke has boundless energy when he joins HELLO! for an exclusive chat. The actor, 35, has previously starred in The Prince of Egypt and Sweeney Todd. But playing the iconic hero at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane is the role of a lifetime because he used to reen-act scenes from the film with his cousin. Like Hercules himself, Luke comes from a hardworking family, the son of a tradesman and a GP, who entered their boy…

Dogs in wedding outfits, confetti cannons, Greek dancing and a drag act made for a fun and flamboyant day when DJ Fat Tony married creative director Stavros Agapiou, surrounded by their families and famous friends. HELLO! was exclusively invited to join the couple as they tied the knot at London’s Limelight, the famous former nightclub popular with clubbers and celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. Pop legend Boy George officiated as master of ceremonies, and big names from the worlds of music, film, TV, media and clubland were among almost 300 guests.

THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH The Duchess of Edinburgh visited London’s Imperial War Museum to see the exhibition Unsilenced: Sexual Violence in Conflict, which tells the heartbreaking stories of child evacuees, trafficking victims and prisoners of war. Sophie said: “It is not their lives that should be destroyed. We have to do better.” PRINCESS ANNE The Princess Royal kicked off her 75th birthday celebrations at Buckingham Palace with some 200 invited charity representatives. Princess Anne, who is patron of more than 400 bodies, said: “You very kindly asked me to become patron of your organisations, so it’s an honour for me to have all of you here.” THE QUEEN The Queen met two special subjects at a Big Lunch charity event at the new Eden Dock at London’s Canary Wharf. The…

‘WE HAD NOTHING. I’D SLEEP IN MY GRANDMOTHER’S CAR WHILE SHE WORKED’ Lauren Sánchez is soon to be the wife of one of the richest men in the world. Later this month, the journalist, pilot and former TV presenter will marry Amazon founder Jeff Bezos – estimated worth $220bn (£162bn) – in the showbusiness wedding of the decade. But who exactly is the 55-year-old and how did she manage to propel herself to the very top of the A-list? After establishing a successful presenting career, she has had three children and married and divorced one of the most powerful talent agents in Hollywood. And yet – as she prepares to walk down the aisle in a Venetian extravaganza that will attract stars including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Eva Longoria…

Posh, pampered and political – the true history of aristocratic rulebreakers the Mitford sisters is being dramatised for the first time in Outrageous, a lavish TV series that is set to fascinate and shock. It promises to tell the “full, uncensored” story of society family siblings Nancy, Diana, Pamela, Unity, Jessica, Deborah and their brother Tom, who were darlings of the newspapers in the 1930s and each ended up following very different paths. “I think they will come across as stranger than fiction,” says Isobel Jesper Jones, who plays Pamela, as she and two of her castmates, Toby Regbo and Orla Hill, pose for this exclusive photoshoot for HELLO!. Isobel had never heard about the Mitfords before being cast and can understand their story is hard to believe. “They are…

CHOP TO IT The ’90s are calling… for the man in your life. Celebrity hairstylist Neil Moodie says the three main trends hark back to when Titanic (and Leo, below right) ruled the box office. There’s the “French crop”, which can be worn either textured or as a flatter “Caesar” cut with shorter sides and back for a modern twist. Or try the “top perm” – not as scary as it sounds – which Neil says has been gaining momentum again as men become more confident to ask for curls. And then, as a hefty dollop of nostalgia, the ’90s “movie star haircut” (aka the curtain cut) is a versatile option for longer-haired gents looking for a change. It can also be worn to the side, slicked back with a…

Hansine is a resortwear collection by Hansine Johnston that includes maxi dresses, cardigans, kimonos, skirts and camisoles, all inspired by her love of travel and her Greek, Danish and Irish roots. The designer has homes in London and Switzerland, where she lives with her husband Brian and their children Madalena, 21, and Leo, 16, along with three cats and Wilson the dog. ‘ I’m a huge fan of a long lunch that drifts into dinner – and the real luxury, for me, is the time to do that with my closest friends. I love informal settings and twinkly lights with a boho feel. My mum is a nutritionist, so I love healthy, clean food that uses the best ingredients. Anything cooked by her is a luxury for me, as I don’t…

JOY IN JORDAN FOR ROYAL ANNIVERSARY Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa of Jordan have celebrated their second wedding anniversary by sharing a new portrait on social media. The beautiful image, with the Princess looking elegant in a chocolate brown maxi dress by Petar Petrov, was posted on the official account for the Royal Hashemite Court of Jordan. It shows the smiling couple at last month’s wedding of Prince Hussein’s cousin, Princess Aisha bint Faisal, in the grounds of Zahran Palace, the same venue where they wed on 1 June 2023. “God has blessed me with Rajwa, the light of my life and my lifelong companion,” the Crown Prince wrote afterwards. “May our marriage bring us both peace and warmth.” They welcomed their first child, a girl called Princess Iman,…

It may be nearly 25 years since the Spice Girls parted ways, but Melanie Brown lived up to her pop star persona as she danced the night away with friends and family at her 50th birthday party last week. The singer headed to Habbibi, an exclusive restaurant in her native Leeds, to celebrate her milestone with family and close friends including former bandmates Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm. From the dress code to the decor, there was only one theme for the night’s proceedings: Mel’s signature leopardprint. The birthday girl, who posed for photographs with her fiancé, hairstylist Rory McPhee, donned a glittering long-sleeved mini dress, complete with shoulder pads. Emma, who attended with her husband, singer Jade Jones, wore a short printed dress with pink velvet stilettos, while Mel…

Following a year in which she negotiated an amicable split from her younger boyfriend, Tamzin Outhwaite finally feels, at 54, as though she has “grown up”. And this new outlook has completely changed her life, she says. Referring to her former partner, director Tom Child, she says: “I just did six and a half years in a relationship with a man 20 years younger than me. He’s still one of my best friends, and I adore him. But I had to say: ‘I don’t want to share a bed. I’m in a phase where I need to be on my own.’ I didn’t want to never see him again, so we’re mates, which feels very grown up.” Tamzin makes these honest revelations in the first episode of HELLO!’s Second Act…
