Akaleidscope of colours lit up the red carpet as a host of stunning celebrities attended the Pride of Britain Awards at London’s Grosvenor House. But for once the big names were not the focus – the prestigious ceremony, now in its 23rd year, sees the A-list take a back seat to celebrate and honour the achievements of remarkable people across all walks of life. Hosting along with Ashley Banjo was Carol Vorderman, dazzling in a red gown astute viewers might have recognised from last year, while Rochelle Humes was a ray of sunshine in yellow silk chiffon and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Helen Skelton was elegant in a green halterneck. “Total privilege to help celebrate some of the country’s bravest, brightest and best,” she wrote on Instagram. Good Morning Britain…

No doubt about it, when it comes to her new uniform, Special Constable Penny Lancaster wears it well – and with pride. Some 18 months after completing her training, the Loose Women star celebrated by attending a passing-out parade at the Guildhall, where her fellow City of London Police recruits were treated to an arresting sight: her rock star husband Sir Rod Stewart (below, inset) giving her a congratulatory hug. Penny’s “Special” moment came three years after she took part in Channel 4 reality series Famous and Fighting Crime, which prompted her to sign up for the volunteer force. “I always have excitement and butterflies for my days on duty,” she told HELLO! last year. “It’s my biggest thrill each week.” Her most high-profile assignment to date was at the…

This year’s Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, boasted the ultimate Pitt stop as Hollywood star Brad Pitt was among the A-list racing fans who watched Max Verstappen and Sir Lewis Hamilton battle it out at the Circuit of the Americas. Due to play an F1 driver who comes out of retirement in a film that’s being coproduced by former world champion Lewis, Brad (left, and below right, with Lewis) lapped up the atmosphere and even joined Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc for a speedy trip around the track. “If I don’t see you all again…” the actor joked with fans, putting on his helmet. Singer Ed Sheeran was in pole position to catch the action, headlining the main stage to perform a 15-song set. “It’s so good to be back…

The key to the launch party for Tiffany & Co.’s latest Lock Collection in Los Angeles was the glitzy gathering of celebrity guests. The starry crowd included Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, along with Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot (right). Creating precious memories – or at least excellent photo ops – Kim posed with fellow guests including Hailey Bieber (together far right) and Miranda Kerr (left), who dazzled in gold Louis Vuitton. Sharing outfit details – including her glittering Tiffany & Co. drop earrings – with her Instagram followers, the Australian model and businesswoman called it “such a fun night”. Miranda also compared jewellery with Kim, reposting the latter’s image of their diamond-clad wrists on Instagram. It’s not just a love of carats that Kim, Hailey and Miranda share, however.…

Sharing the highs as well as some of the tougher times, Jess Wright has been candid about the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with being a new mum. But she has no doubt that her five-month-old son Presley has brought a whole different level of joy to her life. “He’s got to that stage now where he’s so interactive, which is fun. I think at the beginning it’s really daunting as a first-time mum to know where you’re at, what you’re doing, whether it’s going to be okay. But he’s amazing,” she says. Little Presley, Jess’s first child with businessman husband William Lee-Kemp, seems to have inherited his mum’s natural ability to shine in photographs. His cheeky charm was on display when he joined the celebrations with friends and family…

GISELE BUNDCHEN AND TOM BRADY Announce their divorce after 13 years of marriage Model Gisele Bündchen and her American football star husband Tom Brady have finalised their divorce, 13 years after they tied the knot. Speculation had grown over the past few weeks that the couple, parents to Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, nine, were splitting up, but they only confirmed it after reaching a settlement. Writing on social media, Gisele said: “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together.” It is believed Gisele, 42, and Tom, 45, experienced problems after he resumed his football career despite retiring in February. They have an…

‘I’m able to play Arondir because he’s a warrior and I’m a warrior. I’ve sacrificed everything for this’ As one of the most successful film series to hit the big screen, The Lord of the Rings featured a host of A-list actors including Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom and Liv Tyler. Now they can add up-and-coming star Ismael Cruz Córdova to their ranks after he has thrilled fans with his role as Arondir in the TV series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The Puerto Rican-born actor grew up without money or prospects, but was captivated with the fantasy saga as a teenager and saved to buy the DVD of the first of the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, when he was 14. More than 20…

Welcome to this year’s Aesthetics Guide. From Hollywood to Harley Street, clinics are telling us that appointments are up, thanks in no small part to video calls and all that on-screen scrutiny.

‘Can changing your body co-exist with body acceptance?’ BY ALEX LIGHT, writer, podcaster and body positivity campaigner ‘I’ve thought about this a lot because there appears to be a very clear paradox: how can you accept your body yet want it to look different? It does, admittedly, scream contradiction. And in my “body positive” space on Instagram, I’ve seen a lot of judgment around women’s choices to have Botox, fillers, plastic surgery – even to use skincare, with many deeming it a direct threat to our quest to free women of beauty standards. But the reality is far more nuanced and what I actually find much more threatening to this quest is the judgment around aesthetic treatments. We live in a world that takes every opportunity to tell us –…

Knee Lift Ultrasound + dermal filler Dr Sarah Tonks, founder of The Lovely Clinic in London, conceived her new Kneed It treatment due to client demand. “It happens every summer,” she tells HELLO!. “We get people coming in who are just a bit embarrassed about their knees and want to be treated. Sometimes it’s because they feel uncomfortable in leggings or tights, too.” Now, whether it’s sagging, wrinkling or drooping, Sarah has a solution. “You can’t treat every knee the same; it doesn’t work like that,” she says. “We have a thorough consultation process, up to 50 minutes, so we can go through all the treatment options, from targeted skincare to putting threads in the knee to improve the skin quality. But the combination of Ultracel Q+, an ultrasound device,…

20s Lip fillers are the most frequently booked treatments by 20-somethings. “Filters on social media apps could explain why people want to increase the volume in their lips,” says surgeon Dr Riccardo Frati (fraticosmeticsurgery.com). “And people in the public eye are more open about having lip filler now, which could also be a factor.” 30s Patients in their 30s are mostly booking wrinkle-relaxing injections, such as Botox, closely followed by dermal filler – particularly for the chin, jaw and cheeks. “Dermal filler is anti-ageing but it’s also preventative, to halt the development of future wrinkles, so it’s popular in younger age groups,” says Dr Angelica Kavouni, consultant cosmetic surgeon at Ion Kavouni Clinic (ionkavounilondon.com). 40s Botox and fillers continue to rank highly among this age group; however, skin-hydrating procedures such…

My Botox mishaps tend to coincide with weddings. The first time was at my own nuptials, when a doctor targeted a small wrinkle in my top lip with toxin and unintentionally gave me a lip flip. That is when the muscle in your top lip can no longer contract, making your lip appear slightly fuller. It looked pretty good, to be honest, but a side effect was that my paralysed lip couldn’t purse or work a spoon, which was interesting when it came to kissing the groom and eating the cake. The next was at a friend’s wedding, on the morning of which my first go at forehead baby Botox kicked in (it takes up to a week for this to happen, leaving you peering in mirrors for days to…

A successful facial and reconstructive surgeon in his own right, Dr Paul Nassif has also starred in seven series of E!’s television show Botched!, with new episodes coming in 2023. But far from resting on his laurels, the 60-year-old California-based father of four has opened an outpost of his NassifMD Medical Spa chain in Manchester. “This is really an extension of me and my office in the US,” he says of his new aesthetics clinic (below). “You can even book consultations with me via Skype. We hope to open one in London soon, as I have a lot of patients who fly out to Beverly Hills for surgery.” Here, Paul discusses the pros and cons of being a high-profile surgeon, his new skincare range, the latest treatments – and how…

Actress Elizabeth Debicki’s resemblance to Diana, Princess of Wales has been called the most convincing on The Crown so far. And photos taken on location in Majorca, where she was filming for the sixth – and final – series, show the Widows star’s latest transformational triumph. Spotted on set wearing an oversized white T-shirt over swimwear – one of Diana’s favourite holiday looks – Elizabeth, 32, was photographed with her young co-star Will Powell (both left), who plays Prince Harry. There were also images from a shoot in Barcelona (right and below), thought to depict one of the final days before the Princess’s death in 1997. With series five due to start streaming on Netflix next week, the award-winning show has been experiencing some drama of its own, with concerns…

Weather it is creating a beauty and lingerie empire or rewriting the rules of maternity dressing, Rihanna does not do anything by halves. And last week she delivered a double whammy for fans: not only making her first red – well, purple – carpet appearance since the birth of her son in May, but also releasing her first new solo music since 2016. With her partner A$AP Rocky (together left), Rihanna joined the stars of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, including Letitia Wright, in Alexander McQueen (right) and Lupita Nyong’o, in Balmain (far right), at the world premiere in Los Angeles. Shining bright like a diamond in a strapless sequinned design by Rick Owens, Rihanna wowed the crowds after confirming her new single is on the soundtrack. Released last week, two…

‘It takes readers back to one of the most searing images of the 20th century: two young boys, two Princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow — and horror. For Harry, this is his story at last’ The title and release date of the Duke of Sussex’s highly anticipated autobiography has finally been revealed. The memoir, entitled Spare – in reference to the phrase “heir and a spare” – will be published on 10 January with an audiobook, voiced by Prince Harry, released at the same time. The cover of the book, a simple yet striking image of the Duke’s head and shoulders, was also unveiled last week, with publisher Penguin Random House announcing that Harry will donate $1.5m (£1.29m) from sales to his charity…

The Prince of Wales is not currently planning to travel to Qatar to watch England play in November’s World Cup, Kensington Palace said last week. It was thought that Prince William, 40, who is president of the Football Association, would attend some of the matches when the tournament kicks off on 20 November. However, the Palace said there had never been plans for him to go as he has a busy winter schedule. William is already committed to several events from mid-November, including visiting Boston at the start of December to present the Earthshot Prize together with his wife the Princess. Nevertheless, it is thought that if the Three Lions make it to the later stages of the tournament, including reaching the final, the Prince could try to rearrange his…

Kelly Brook loves sharing memories of the weekend of festivities in Italy when she married her long-term partner Jeremy Parisi in July. But today, her focus is on the other man in her life: their 18-month-old dog Teddy. Posing alongside her – and even modelling a matching jumper for her latest campaign for F&F for Tesco – the cute cavapoo is a natural in front of the camera and loves being on set. “He knows when the camera is on him and he’s got a little outfit on,” Kelly tells HELLO!. “He can be a bit of a spoilt brat, but we couldn’t imagine life without him now.” As well as the joy of the past year, there’s much to look forward to over the next few months.

Tom Kerridge is half the man he used to be. The now 49-year-old Michelin-starred chef was, aged 40, diagnosed as obese and weighed in at 30 stone. He decided to do something about it before it was too late, saying at the time that he wanted to see his son Acey, who was born in 2015, grow up. Tom lost a whopping 12 stone in five years, changing his eating habits and taking up exercise. A popular face on our TV screens, appearing on – and hosting – shows including MasterChef, Saturday Kitchen, Lose Weight for Good and Bake Off: Crème de la Crème, Tom is known for no-nonsense nutritious recipes that the whole family love. With his latest cookbook Real Life Recipes out now, HELLO! talks exclusively to dad…

EXFOLIATE LIKE ROCHELLE Skin should never be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach, which is probably why TV presenter Rochelle Humes (left) loves paying regular visits to facialist Shane Cooper. With an impressive client list including Sienna Miller, Phoebe Dynevor and Ellie Goulding, Shane’s bespoke treatments have become a firm favourite among A-listers. “Shane’s facials keep my skin looking youthful and fresh,” says Rochelle. “I love how he creates every treatment tailored for my skin. All non-surgical and non-invasive.” Since Shane’s treatments are customised, we’re going to focus on one of his signature steps: OxyGeneo technology to slough off dead skin cells. “It preps skin perfectly for other things, such as microcurrents for improved collagen production or anti-ageing infrared,” says Shane. “Rochelle absolutely loves this part of my facials as it…

Moxi by Sciton is a gentle, fractional form of laser that can be used year-round on all skin tones to treat pigmentation, uneven skin tone and the visible signs of ageing.

Moxi by Sciton can be used on the chest, arms, hands, legs and face. It is considered one of the more gentle laser treatments, only requiring topical numbing cream and becoming dubbed “the perfect lunchtime treatment”. Following an initial consultation, numbing cream is applied to the area being…

MZ SKIN Lydia Mormen – beauty assistant, HELLO! and HELLO! Fashion A medical-grade light therapy mask, the Lightmax Supercharged LED Mask 2.0 (£545; visit mzskin.com), has two modes: anti-ageing and acne. The first uses red and infrared light to stimulate collagen production, while the antimicrobial blue light of the second targets breakouts. My concern is blemishes, but I love that it can also help prevent lines and wrinkles. The soft silicone and rechargeable battery mean the mask is easy to pop on during the day. After using it for the past month – for just ten minutes, four times a week – I’ve noticed a reduction in pigmentation from my previous breakouts and I think my overall complexion looks more even and less red.

‘Today’s Princesses and Queens are modern. They’re up to date’ The coastal town of Knokke in northern Belgium is famous for its elegance. Since the 19th century, its pristine sands and stunning seascapes have made it a favourite holiday spot for prominent Belgian families – including that of Baron Edouard Vermeulen, couturier to Belgium’s Queen. Through his fashion house Natan, Edouard Vermeulen designs for the contemporary and elegant woman. Among his clients are Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Naturally, his Brussels base is a hive of activity. So here, an hour and a half away from the capital, he decided to re-create the peace of his grandparents’ home in Knokke, where he spent happy childhood days. “I live in an apartment in Brussels – a…

‘The Princess has long been an advocate of the huge impact the outdoors can have on our wellbeing’ They are both action women with a love of the great outdoors and a common goal to inspire future generations to believe in themselves and fulfil their potential. So it is perhaps not surprising that the Princess of Wales has found an affinity with Captain Preet Chandi. Last week, it was announced that Kate, who has long championed the benefits of being out and about in nature, has become the patron of the 33-year-old British army medical officer’s latest expedition across Antarctica. Preet’s aiming to become the first woman to cross the 1,000-mile terrain solo and unsupported. “The Princess has long been an advocate of the huge impact the outdoors can have…

She never planned to apply for the Miss England pageant – or expected to be the first redhead crowned the winner in the competition’s 94-year history. Now Jessica Gagen (right, and below right, with runners-up Emily Cossey and Milly Everatt) plans to use her new title to inspire the younger generation. Following her win last month of Miss England 2022, sponsored by Dentakay Dental Clinic, the model and student, 27, told HELLO!: “I [went] into the competition to use the platform to promote STEM careers to women. I want to inspire young girls to go into engineering careers because I believe that a lot of people have misconceptions about what it involves.” Of growing up as a redhead, she said: “I always used to look at Nicola Roberts from Girls…

Two and a half weeks after their idyllic civil ceremony in Jamaica, JLS star Oritsé Williams and his bride Kazz Kumar said “I do” to another joyous celebration back home. The couple exchanged vows for the second time in the grounds of Surrey’s grade II-listed Langshott Manor, with loved ones including their parents and siblings (bottom). “This was the first time both sides of our immediate family had been in the same room together; it was heartwarming beyond all measure,” Oritsé tells HELLO!. It was a real family affair: Kazz’s sisters Shobi and Niya, Oritsé’s sister Naomi and his sister-in-law Adura took on bridesmaid duties, while the vow ceremony was officiated by Oritsé’s brother Temisan. The day was all the more precious as Kazz’s father Kumar, who has battled critical…

Diana, Princess of Wales’s wardrobe was the envy of women all over the world and her trailblazing sense of style inspired copycats everywhere. Her designer gowns never failed to make a statement, whether she was representing the UK abroad or dressing for a special occasion and, more than 25 years after her death, Diana’s dresses are still making an impact all over the world, as British author Claudia Joseph reveals in a new book, Diana: A Life in Dresses. Claudia spent months tracking down dozens of gowns that have been auctioned and sold over the past two and a half decades and found many on public display in different corners of the globe. “I think Diana still inspires a generation of women,” Claudia tells HELLO! as she shares her findings.…

When was named Prime Minister last week, Conservative politician Rishi Sunak made history in more ways than one. The first UK leader of British Asian heritage, he is, at 42, the youngest person to hold office for more than 200 years. And when he moves into Number Ten, he will bring with him his two young daughters and a wife who, as the daughter of one of India’s richest men, is regarded as wealthier than the royal family. Mr Sunak was born in Southampton to Hindu parents Yashvir and Usha, who he says inspired him to serve with their dedication to their local community. He went to Winchester College public school in Hampshire, where he was named head boy, before going on to read politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford…

A NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM WHO: Eve, Celeste, Lady Frederick Windsor, Sabine Getty, Martha Ward WHAT: Carolina Herrera dinner WHERE: Sir John Soane’s Museum, London Guests gathered in the lavish library-dining room of the ornate Sir John Soane’s Museum to celebrate Carolina Herrera New York, with a gala dinner hosted by the Marchioness of Bath and Wes Gordon, the label’s creative director. Standing alongside tables adorned with bright pink blooms and candles, Emma was a stunning lady in red Carolina Herrera as she posed with singer Celeste, also in scarlet, while US rapper Eve opted for a floral cape by the designer. Lady Frederick Windsor – actress Sophie Winkleman – meanwhile, kept it demure in black taffeta embellished with bows. “A heavenly evening… it felt as if it were a…

Getting to know and working with Rochelle Humes over the past few years, I know she is inspiring, dependable, kind and always approachable – which is why I was keen to have her on HELLO!’s wellbeing podcast In a Good Place. After her spectacular music career with The Saturdays, Rochelle has gone on to present TV shows such as This Morning and The Hit List, which she hosts alongside her husband Marvin Humes. She has also released a series of inclusive children’s books and is the brains behind the My Little Coco range of skin and haircare products. Plus she is a mother to three young children. In this episode, Rochelle talks to me about how she stays in a good place with all the demands of her business and…

SUNSPOTS THE PROBLEM Also called age spots or liver spots, these are clusters of pigment that accumulate after years of exposure to ultraviolet light. SKINCARE Using a product with retinol or another retinoid will soften sunspots. Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 (right, £42; visit medik8.com) is tolerable for most skins. A tougher, more effective option is the Obagi NuDerm system (tennis coach Judy Murray used it to help strip away sun damage), but this needs to be supervised by a clinic. Or look at online prescriptions via skinandme.com (from £20 a month). LIGHT TOUCH Intense pulsed light (IPL) breaks up the pigment that causes age spots so the body can clear it away. IPL is not new and/or sexy, but in experienced hands it will give great results. Plus it is…

When Jane Fonda, 84, told Vogue magazine earlier this year that she stopped having surgical procedures because she didn’t want to look “distorted”, it made headlines around the world. “Now, I don’t know if I had it to do over if I would,” she told the publication. “A lot of women, I don’t know, they’re addicted to [surgery].” Patients presenting in clinic with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and addicted to cosmetic treatments are sadly not uncommon, according to consultant eyelid and aesthetic surgeons Rachna Murthy and Professor Jonathan Roos (facerestoration.com). “But we screen for BDD symptoms in pre-consultation,” they say. “And we are able to refer patients for psychological support instead.” They also say that distortion is not an inevitable consequence of surgery and that Jane’s work looks “sympathetic”. “Procedures…

‘Nobody should suffer in silence with conditions that can be treated’ A recent study revealed that more than 70% of young women with urinary incontinence hadn’t spoken to their GP about their symptoms. “Some suffer for years because they’re too embarrassed to talk about it,” says intimate women’s health expert Dr Shirin Lakhani, of Elite Aesthetics. “Nobody should suffer in silence with conditions that can be treated.” The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles at the bottom of the pelvis that plays a vital role in bladder control, supporting the pelvic organs and making sex enjoyable. When it becomes weakened, the symptoms can feel pretty debilitating. Jo Gipson, specialist pelvic health physiotherapist at Leto women’s health clinic, lists incontinence of the bladder or bowel, frequent emptying of the bladder,…

From the bright blue palette and irreverent artwork at Chelsea’s The Organic Pharmacy to the botanical prints and signature sage green of South London’s Linnaean, aesthetic practices are recognising the value in cultivating an inviting clinic space. “Doing something for yourself is special, so I hope the environment created allows patients to feel pampered and taken care of,” says oculoplastic surgeon and aesthetics doctor Dr Maryam Zamani, whose Chelsea clinic is bedecked in Pierre Frey fabrics and dotted with orchids – while meeting Care Quality Commission (CQC) clinical standards, of course. Over in Mayfair, practices opt for less personality, more opulence. For example, the clean lines, brushed brass and soaring proportions of Face Restoration, a clinic offering surgical and non-surgical facial aesthetics at the Lanserhof, an Austrian-style medical centre installed…
