Tinseltown came to London last week for an event bursting with Hollywood glamour and British class epitomised by the Princess of Wales, who attended the star-studded Bafta award ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall in a sweeping white Alexander McQueen gown. Her Grecian-style dress had been seen at the event before – when the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended in 2019. But with a few significant tweaks – the corsage on the right shoulder was replaced with a train of chiffon – and worn with a pair of long, black opera gloves, she fashioned a whole new look. Her husband the Prince, the president of Bafta, also kept things classy by her side with a double-breasted, black velvet tuxedo jacket by Tom Ford. FRONT ROW SEATS It was…

It has long been a winter playground for the rich and famous and Europe’s glamorous young royals certainly seemed to be having plenty of fun during a trip to St Moritz. Pierre Casiraghi and his wife Beatrice Borromeo joined Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and her British boyfriend Peregrine Pearson in the glitzy Swiss resort, where they enjoyed curling on the ice with their friends. Beatrice and Pierre, the 35-year-old son of Princess Caroline of Monaco, ruled the rink as the group, armed with ice brooms and 44lb granite stones, played the Olympic sport. INTERNATIONAL JET SET Among the close-knit circle of friends on the winter break were French financier Arpad Busson, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos and his wife Dasha Zhukova, Stavros’s sister Eugenie, their brother Theodore and his girlfriend,…

As one of the history-making England Lionesses team who claimed victory in the European Championships football tournament last summer, Ellen White will always be part of something special. However, that victory on the Wembley pitch is nothing compared to her next sure-footed delivery: that of her and husband Callum Convery’s first child, due in April. Speaking for the first time about her little Lioness cub – the first baby to be born to one of the winning team since their thrilling victory on home turf last July – Ellen cannot hide her joy at the prospect of becoming a mother. DREAMS COME TRUE “We’re super-excited about being parents; it’s something we’ve spoken about for so long. We’re nervous about being in charge of a tiny baby, but we’ll make a…

It may not be everyone’s idea of the ultimate romantic backdrop, but when Rebel Wilson proposed to her partner Ramona Agruma in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Disneyland, California, it was Pitch Perfect. Announcing their engagement via an Instagram post, the actress uploaded a photo of the couple – dressed in matching tops and each on bended knee – being showered with rose petals (left). Another picture gave fans a closer look at Ramona’s 2.55-carat Tiffany & Co diamond (right). “We said YES!” the Senior Year star wrote, thanking all those who had helped plan the “magical surprise”. Rebel, who turns 43 this week, and designer Ramona, 37, got together after being introduced by a mutual friend. The actress has described their relationship as “amazing” and previously told People…

It’s fair to say that Patsy Kensit is an incurable romantic – and fans are hoping that the four-time-smarried star, known to many for her role in medical drama Holby City, will finally get her prescription for happiness courtesy of property tycoon Patric Cassidy, who proposed while the pair (together right) were on holiday in Mustique. Captured in a photo that later appeared on Patsy’s Instagram (left), Patric popped the question at sunset on the beach. Leaving nothing to chance, he had set the scene perfectly for the actress, from red flowers arranged in a heart shape on the sand to a beach cabana decorated with fairy lights and giant letters spelling “P&P”. He then presented her with a huge diamond ring that she showed off in a video in…
