Welcome to our Second Act Power List 2025, honouring 25 extraordinary women. HELLO! is committed to reframing the conversation around midlife through our Second Act community. We see this life stage – once a time when women became invisible – as an exciting new start with the powerful perspective of lived experience; an opportunity to reset ambitions, renew priorities and take stock of life. Davina McCall (above) joins me to lead the women who are helping in this mission. If you’d like to join our Second Act community, please sign up using the QR code below – we’d love to have you. Also in this issue, HELLO!’s royal editor, Emily Nash, joins the Prince of Wales on his trip to Brazil for his Earthshot Prize awards as he follows in…

Prince William was greeted like a rock star at every turn during his visit, with the people of Brazil giving him the warmest of welcomes. The future King showed himself to be a consummate statesman as he advocated for the planet but managed to have plenty of fun along the way. It was genuinely heartwarming to watch his interactions with local people, many of whom were amazed by how warm and approachable he was in person, happily holding babies, shaking hands and posing for selfies whenever asked. For many, his visit brought back memories of the time spent in their country by his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. William’s moment of quiet contemplation at Christ the Redeemer, as he gazed across Rio’s famous skyline from the spot where she had…

Gabby Logan is no stranger to change. Once a rhythmic gymnast who represented Wales, the sports presenter has since become one of the UK’s best-loved TV personalities and made headlines in August when she took over from Gary Lineker as one of the new presenters of Match of the Day. But it’s her newly empty nest to which Gabby is struggling to adjust. Last year, her showjumper daughter Lois, 20, left home to study geography at Loughborough University, and this year, Gabby and her husband Kenny, a former Scotland rugby international, said farewell to Lois’s twin brother Reuben as he joined the Sale Sharks rugby team. “Reuben won’t be living at home like he used to,” Gabby, 52, tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. It’s a transition that she remembers…

With her hilarious mummy comedy sketches on Instagram, the model Louise Boyce exudes confidence to her huge following as Mama Still Got It. But despite finding fame and a whole new successful career around her experience of motherhood, behind the scenes she felt lost after giving birth to her three children.“When I became a mother [12 years ago] there was a moment of utter identity loss,” she confesses on this week’s Second Act podcast. “I really felt lost. And I remember thinking, ‘I feel like I’m being buried’. But I wasn’t being buried; I had just been planted and I was about to grow.” Fast-forward to today and she has never been happier. As well as inventing the tiny hand-puppet sketches for which she became famous, Louise has reignited her…

This week, we’re glowing from head to toe. Our ten-page beauty special dives into Cat Deeley’s routine, explores the science of mood-boosting neuroscents and reveals how to winter-proof your scalp while giving your skin a perfect winter glow (both real and faux). In fashion, we’re wrapping up in style with luxurious fine knits to give your wardrobe a cosy upgrade. And finally, Dame Prue Leith celebrates life’s sparkling pleasures, from a glass of good-quality fizz to the lure of glittery jewels.…

Browse the cosmetic counters and you’ll find endless bases, blushers and bronzers promising glowing skin, which can feel overwhelming to even the most seasoned of make-up wearers. The first step in achieving that coveted glow is determining skin type. “Oily skin produces excess sebum, especially in the T-zone, giving it a noticeable shine and making pores appear larger,” says the skin expert Dr Priya Verma. Signs that you are a dry-skin type include tight skin that can look dull or flaky. Priya adds: “Normal skin sits comfortably in balance, neither oily nor dry. Pores are refined, the texture is smooth and the complexion appears even and healthy without much effort.” Now that’s sorted, it’s time to work out the best beauty buys for your skin type. “For dry skin, it’s…

Describing Cat Deeley without using the word “glow” is almost impossible. The word is as intrinsically linked to the breakfast presenter as fish is to chips. Despite swapping the alchemy of Los Angeles sunshine for the drizzle of London five years ago, her radiance remains undimmed. Now that she is teetering on the edge of the big five-oh, as well as enduring regular 5am call times, there’s clearly some genetic sorcery at work. But as we catch up with Cat at the launch of the injectable skin booster Skinvive, it’s clear that the poster girl for effortless polish knows her stuff. Here, she shares the secrets behind that signature we-want-what-she’s-having luminosity. “I like the term ‘positive ageing’. Getting older is a privilege and I really like the person I am…

Dame Prue Leith is best known these days for her quick wit and critical eye on The Great British Bake Off, but she has been in the restaurant business since 1969. Originally born in South Africa, she moved to London at 20 to study at the prestigious Cordon Bleu cookery school before opening Leith’s, her Michel-instarred restaurant in Notting Hill. Last month, she celebrated the official unveiling of Fortnum & Mason’s Bicester Village store, as she now lives in the Cotswolds with her husband, John Playfair. ‘Luxury is anything that is unusual and a pleasure. A day to myself with no plans in the diary feels like a luxury to me. Nowadays a luxury night out is a good, old-fashioned pub dinner with my husband. I would order ham, egg…

The inaugural HELLO! Power List event is a night to honour inspiring women who are redefining what it means to be in the second act of life. And at the heart of the celebrations is Davina McCall, who epitomises what it means to be a powerful woman in midlife. A year on from life-saving brain surgery, she is thrilled by the news that her campaign with the Menopause Mandate is set to change the lives of millions of women in the UK after the NHS agreed to include menopause screening in its health checks for over-40s. “We did it,” she says, leaping across the room to hug two fellow Power Listers and menopause campaigners, the writer Mariella Frostrup and the former Olympian Michelle Griffith-Robinson. Presenter, activist, mother, author, survivor: there…

THE QUEEN The Queen visited Westminster Abbey’s Field of Remembrance for a ceremony paying tribute to those who fought and died for their country. Her Majesty laid a small wooden cross adorned with a poppy in a larger cross formed from the flowers, before standing in silence alongside hundreds of veterans as Big Ben struck 11am. THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH The Duchess wore a camouflage jacket and insignia showing her rank of colonel on her visit to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst to attend the Duchess of Edinburgh Competition – an annual military skills contest for Sophie’s affiliated regiments and military organisations. PRINCESS CHARLENE OF MONACO Harley, the Monegasque royal chihuahua, made a public appearance at the Rokethon dog walk, tucked under the arm of his owner, Princess Charlene of…

Daniel Day-Lewis’s declaration eight years ago that he would “no longer be working as an actor” seemed to draw a line under a career that won him three Academy Awards and four Baftas. It was his son Ronan, 27, who persuaded his father to return in Anemone, the younger Day-Lewis’s debut feature as a director. How did he do it? Daniel, 68, who co-wrote the film, admits that he was motivated by a fear of missing out. “We’ve worked on a lot of strange things over the years together, since he was a kid, and I had an anticipatory regret at the thought that Ronan was going to make films and I wouldn’t be a part of them,” he says, putting aside his public awkwardness in order to support his…

With her 60th birthday on the horizon, the actor Tamsin Greig is embracing new challenges and says that she has no plans to retire. “I can’t see that ever being a part of my experience,” she tells hello! in this exclusive interview. “Every time I take a new job, it’s like taking on a new challenge.” The Olivier Award-winning star, best known for Green Wing, Episodes, Black Books and Friday Night Dinner, is in one of the lead roles in the BBC drama Riot Women, about a group of menopausal women who form a punk rock band. “I never thought, ‘Maybe I would like to learn an instrument and form a band,’” says Tamsin, who got to grips with playing bass guitar for her role as divorced police officer Holly.…

THE HYDRATING HERO “I dry‑body‑brush before showering all year round, but pay extra attention in winter to keep skin smooth and circulation boosted. I’ll exfoliate with Jo Malone’s Vitamin E Body Treatment Scrub [£86, jomalone.co.uk] to keep dullness at bay and follow with Curél’s Deep Moisture Spray for Dry Sensitive Skin [£13, boots.com], a fantastic discovery that hydrates deeply, sinks in beautifully and leaves skin soft and glowing, without any stickiness.” THE BARRIER BOOSTER “All‑over radiance is a year‑round goal, even when temperatures drop and my skin needs extra care. It takes a truly special product to maintain that healthy, luminous look, and thankfully, Naturium has perfected it. The Glow Getter Body Oil [£28, spacenk.com], is my glow in a bottle, packed with skin‑loving ingredients such as sea buckthorn, jojoba…

Q I feel that I’ve ticked all the boxes when it comes to midlife: I eat well, exercise and get enough sleep. But I struggle to look healthy, never mind glamorous. How do you get your glow in the winter? ‘Like most women, I find this time of year especially busy. In the past few weeks I have hosted at the Women In Work Summit and two Menopause Mandate events, and spoken at the Henley and Cheltenham Literary Festivals about my dietary reboot Menolicious. By Halloween, I didn’t need to don a costume. I was as pallid as any ghoul. Winter radiance is an entirely different remit from a summer glow, where you have sunshine on your side. As the leaves fall, I watch my tan sloughing away with every…

ROBERT AND SUKI STEP OUT IN NEW YORK Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse made a rare joint public appearance at the New York premiere of Die My Love last week. Robert, 39, who stars alongside Jennifer Lawrence in the film, looked smart in head-to-toe Dior, a brand for which he has served as an ambassador since 2013. Suki wore a strapless floral dress from Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen, featuring a patterned corset with a cord detail and a ruffled beige skirt. She accessorised with brown mesh stiletto heels from Aquazzura and a gold choker. The couple – who welcomed their first child, a daughter, in March last year – started dating in 2018 but have rarely appeared in public together. Their last notable joint outing was at the 2023 Met…

It was the pinnacle of his illustrious career, so it was only fitting that Sir David Beckham opted for a designer very close to his heart when it came to the outfit he wore to receive his knighthood last week. Step forward the new Lady Beckham, who turned her fashion skills to her husband of 26 years, conjuring up her first tailored male suit for his big day. The three-piece outfit, he said, was inspired by the man who knighted him at Windsor Castle: the King. Asked whether he managed to speak to His Majesty during the ceremony, the former England football captain said: “He was quite impressed by my suit. He’s the most elegantly dressed man I know, so he’s inspired quite a few of my looks over the…

It was a week of hope and optimism for the future, and the Prince of Wales’s warmth and enthusiasm for his visit to Brazil won hearts at every turn. From his impressive attempt at beach volleyball on Copacabana Beach to his rousing speech at the Cop30 summit in Belém, he showed an openness and a sense of fun that many Brazilians had not expected, while also proving his credentials as a global statesman and future King. The highlight was the star-studded Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, where the Prince was joined on the green carpet by Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes – and also surprised the audience with a video message from Tom Cruise. William rewore a Tom Ford tuxedo for the glittering outing to the Museum…

Few women embody the truism that age is nothing but a number more persuasively than Jennifer Aniston. At 56, the actress, who has been captivating audiences again in the fourth season of the Apple TV+ hit The Morning Show, is at the top of her game not only professionally, but personally, too. Last week, she finally confirmed her relationship with the wellness coach and author Jim Curtis in a heartwarming Instagram tribute to him on his 50th birthday. “Happy birthday my love. Cherished,” she wrote beneath a black and white image of her hugging Jim. The couple were first spotted together on a yacht in Majorca in July, making this Jennifer’s first public relationship since she split from her former husband, the actor Justin Theroux, whom she married in 2015.…

For those old enough to remember a time when shine was something to be subjugated with astringent toners and powders the consistency of cement dust, there is at least the vague feeling that our collective obsession with reflective skin is a trend rather than dogma. Where once a complexion free from pustules defined “good skin”, today, hyper-smooth, hairless, poreless, AI-perfect faces with a megawatt shine are the ultimate beauty currency. The hashtag #glassskin has amassed billions of views across social media, cementing its status as one of modern beauty’s most enduring trends, but this pursuit of a mirror-like complexion is not all it’s cracked up to be. For those with dry, oily or blemish-prone skin, it can feel like an exclusive club in which only the genetically blessed members are…

When compared with serums and lipsticks, bronzer and fragrance, scalp care isn’t the sexiest of categories in the beauty world. But if you want the glossy, healthy hair of your dreams, it’s an area you can’t ignore – and it seems we’re taking notice of this previously neglected element of our haircare routine. Monthly searches for scalp serum have increased 99% year on year, with an average of 12,870 searches per month – likely set to rise as the chillier weather sets in and our scalps start to play up. “Cold weather and indoor heating strip moisture from the scalp, leading to dryness, tightness and flaking,” says the dermatologist Nora Jafaar. She adds: “Reduced humidity also means the scalp barrier becomes more fragile, while wearing hats can further trap sweat…

LEANNE BAYLEY Director of lifestyle & commerce “Finding a unique dressing table that will stand the test of time is no mean feat, and this one ticks both of those boxes. It’s stylish and versatile, with a ceramic surface, two handy drawers and an elegant circular tilting mirror.” RACHEL AVERY Homes editor “I’m crushing on curved furniture at the moment, and this round coffee table is the perfect way to elevate your living space. With no corners, it’s ideal for families with young kids, and the secret storage behind a sliding panel will keep your lounge clear. “So many interior designers have spoken to me about the importance of lighting. The key is layers, so add a floor lamp and a table lamp. With its industrial design, this light is…
