‘I love it here — the place, the people and the atmosphere. The old city is very small, yet Noto is a magical place, a World Heritage Site’ As the man behind eye-catching Italian fashion label P.A.R.O.S.H., Paolo Rossello loves to celebrate la dolce vita. And nowhere is life sweeter than in the southern Sicilian city of Noto, where he has made a home. Built of golden sandstone, Noto’s historic centre is a baroque jewel, its streets and squares filled with ornate churches and palazzi overflowing with art. By contrast, Paolo’s house stands out as a gem of contemporary Italian style. On a hillside overlooking the sea, it is all clean lines and open spaces that blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Here, the designer teams up with his friends,…

She is due to make her West End debut in January, starring alongside her husband Matthew Broderick in Neil Simon’s play Plaza Suite. But with more than four months to go before opening night, Sarah Jessica Parker took centre stage at the Ambassador Theatre Group’s Summer Party at Kensington Palace Gardens in London. Taking a fashion cue from the lush surroundings, Sarah Jessica wore a floaty green Elie Saab maxi dress with her own jewelled sandals (right). She and Matthew (above centre) were guests of honour at the theatrical fundraiser, where they mingled with stars such as James Norton (above left) and Jenna Coleman (above right). Posting photos taken in her hotel bathroom, the And Just Like That… star wrote on Instagram that it was a “total thrill” to be…

As birthday celebrations go, it was a pretty special one for the Duke of Sussex. With his two great loves – his wife the Duchess and the Invictus Games, which he created – beside him and around him, Prince Harry marked his 39th birthday in Dusseldorf at the unique tournament that will surely serve as his legacy. Attending a sitting volleyball match between Germany and Poland with Meghan inside the Merkur Spiel-Arena on Friday, he was serenaded with a rendition of Happy Birthday from the crowd. Both Harry and Meghan – who was wearing a pale Zara jumpsuit and Celine blazer – clapped and smiled throughout as the spectators enthusiastically joined in. He was later presented with a cake by the city’s mayor before enjoying a private birthday lunch with…

Diana, Princess of Wales, remains one of the best-loved figures in royal history – and the public’s enduring fascination with her was demonstrated when three of her dresses smashed their estimates at auction last week, selling for a total of £1.3m. And the surprises didn’t end there, with Diana’s famous “black sheep” sweater going for over $1m in another US auction just six days later. The red sweater, which features a single black sheep among a row of white ones, sold in the Fashion Icons auction at Sotheby’s in New York on 14 September for $1.14m (£920,000), more than 14 times its upper estimate of $80,000. The jumper, worn by the newly engaged Lady Diana Spencer to a polo match in Windsor in June 1981, was recently discovered in an…

‘I asked one of the guys: “Would you have liked help earlier?” And he replied: “Yes, but I didn’t know I needed it”’ The Princess of Wales is known around the world for her style, and her new look turned heads last week – but not just because of a different hairdo. Kate appeared on duty with two fingers of her right hand strapped up, after injuring herself on her children’s trampoline. Making her first visit to a men’s prison, the Princess was at HMP High Down near Sutton, Surrey, to hear how some of its 1,126 inmates are overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, as part of her work as patron of the Forward Trust. Wearing a chic dark-blue Alexander McQueen trouser suit and heels, she also sported a new…

‘We appreciate every single day and everything we do together. Gratitude really matters’Joe There are smiles, laughter and so much love in every corner of the Thompsons’ Greater Manchester home, where former professional footballer turned motivational speaker Joe and his wife Chantelle live in a renovated farmhouse with their adorable two daughters, 11-year-old Thailula and Athena-Rae, who celebrated her first birthday just days before we meet. Joe, 34, rose to professional acclaim as a footballer in the English Football League (EFL), playing for teams including Rochdale, Bury and Tranmere Rovers. The midfielder has lived and breathed football since his childhood, signing for Manchester United’s youth team aged nine before being released at 16. “Football was everything to me,” he says. Diagnosed with cancer of the lymphatic system in 2013 aged…

‘I look into her eyes and feel completely lost in them. That love is so deep — nothing else compares’Janette Looking straight into the camera with the tiniest hint of a smile, little Lyra Rose Skorjanec is a complete natural as she makes her debut in her very first photoshoot. “She’s a little superstar already and loves the camera,” proud mum Janette Manrara says with a laugh as she and husband Aljaz pose with their baby girl. With her shock of dark hair and bright, inquisitive eyes, seven-week-old Lyra seems totally at ease when HELLO! joins the family at their home in Cheshire for this exclusive interview and shoot. Needless to say, the former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers are besotted. “I look into her eyes and feel completely lost…

It definitely wasn’t a Cruel Summer for Taylor Swift, who swept the board at the MTV Video Music Awards last week. The singer made pop history when she won nine of the 11 categories in which she was nominated, including Artist of the Year, in a star-studded ceremony held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The 33-year-old, who will visit the UK for a sell-out tour next year, capped a remarkable 12 months when she won Album of the Year for her release Midnights, as well as Show of the Summer. She also came first in six categories for her hit song and video Anti-Hero. Taylor told the screaming crowd: “I love making pop music; I love making pop music videos; I also love making country. I love…

‘How good would it be for more schools to have access to places like this?’The Princess The Prince and Princess of Wales championed the great outdoors and went back to school when they joined youngsters at a learning centre last week. With their own children back in class, William and Kate explored forest dens and whittled wood at the site on Duchy of Cornwall land in Herefordshire. The royal couple were visiting Madley Primary School’s Forest School, which prioritises outdoor learning to boost pupils’ mental and physical health. The Prince donned safety glasses and gloves to saw through a log, held steady by the Princess, whose right hand was still bandaged after she suffered a minor trampolining injury. “Is William doing it right?” Kate asked the youngsters, who told her…

‘She was an iconoclast who didn’t care about rules. She wasn’t afraid to be her own person’ At the VIP opening of a spectacular new exhibition at London’s V&A Museum last week, Princess Beatrice and Lady Gabriella Kingston joined other lucky invitees from the worlds of royalty, fashion and showbusiness. Gabriel le Chanel: Fashion Manifesto, which celebrates the life and work of the legendary French designer – known to all as Coco – comes to the UK after a popular stint at Paris’s Palais Galliera and already holds the V&A’s record for ticket pre-sales. One of the most striking elements of the show is just how modern the clothes are. Many of the beautiful evening dresses, for example, wouldn’t look out of place on the Oscars red carpet today. “There…

The collection is ‘dedicated to the memory of all the remarkable journeys I took with my mother’Michael Kors It’s the city that boasts one of the most famous skylines in the world. And last week the skyscrapers of the Big Apple were put to excellent use when they served as the backdrop to one of the most prestigious events in the New York Fashion Week calendar. Designer Michael Kors chose to stage his spring/summer 2024 runway show along the riverfront, with the Brooklyn Bridge and tall buildings of Manhattan providing a spectacular scenic view as models took to the catwalk to present his latest collection. Stars who were lucky enough to score a front-row seat at the show included actresses Blake Lively, in a gold sequinned gown by the designer,…

Keen to build on his work around mental health by demolishing the stigma around it – one of the cornerstones of his Royal Foundation – the Prince of Wales visited a construction site in West London to highlight the need for better wellbeing support for those working within the industry. Timed to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day, the engagement saw William don his hard hat and tour the site (left) while discussing the fact that construction workers are among those at highest risk of suicide in the country, almost four times higher than the national average. He also heard from builders and other workers (below left) about their experiences and the mental health challenges they and their colleagues have faced, plus the effects on their personal and professional lives,…

The glittering guest list included stars of stage and screen Stopping the show in a Schiaparelli skirt and cropped shirt, Sienna Miller made sure all eyes were on her – and her bare baby bump – as she arrived at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Making news of her pregnancy official as she stepped on the red carpet, Sienna, who is already a mum to daughter Marlowe, 11, looked glowing in the all-white creation teamed with sheer black tights and heels, and statement gold earrings, also by Schiaparelli. The dress code for the Vogue World event on 14 September was Opening Night and it began with a red-carpet roll call to rival any first night. The glittering guest list included stars of stage and screen – among them actresses Kate…

Strong and sassy, frank and forthright, Vogue Williams isn’t your timid type. So it’s intriguing to hear that the woman who beat two sporting heroes – Dame Kelly Holmes and Mike Tindall – to win notoriously tough reality series BearGrylls: Mission Survive in 2015 was so freaked out during the filming of her latest show that she had to sleep with the lights on. In Spooked: Ireland, we see the mum of three in her beloved Emerald Isle, where she was brought up, to explore its most haunted locations. And even for a self-confessed sceptic like Vogue, it proved a spine-tingling experience. SPOOKY ENCOUNTERS Uncovering chilling mysteries, myths and tales of murder, a team of experts attempt to bring peace to tortured souls refusing to leave their earthly dwellings, while…

‘I’ve seen her play beer pong’Mike on the Princess of Wales Opening up about the royal family’s love of competitive sport, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the Princess Royal for a special appearance on Mike Tindall’s podcast last week. Prince William, Kate and Princess Anne appeared on The Good, The Bad & The Rugby to mark the start of the Rugby World Cup in France. And they shared plenty of laughter while recording the episode, which was released on the same day Kate cheered on England in Marseille, shortly before William did the same for Wales in Bordeaux. The royal trio sat opposite Mike and his co-hosts Alex Payne and James Haskell in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, in their roles as royal patrons of England…

Although Matteo Bocelli shares his father Andrea’s warmth, devotion to music and chivalrous nature, the 25-year-old is ready to forge his own path as an artist. “Being the son of Andrea Bocelli, people expect a certain type of music from me,” Matteo tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “My father’s musical process is different to mine, but he’s reached all the goals he set for himself, so it’s always good to have someone like him next to me to give technical advice. “He’s definitely the person who’s always helped understand my career the most.” ‘Being the son of Andrea Bocelli, people expect a certain type of music, but it’s always good to have him give technical advice’ Now, Matteo is excited to share the results of that hard work by…

Comporta STAY A supremely lovely beach house wedged between the dunes and the rolling rice paddies, Quinta da Comporta is somewhere to really kick back. Interiors are stripped-down yet statement-making all at once, with chalky-white walls and salvaged timber juxtaposed with perky pops of colour and bold, printed textiles (3). Rise early to potter into town or pedal to the beach on one of the hotel’s bicycles before the heat hits, then fritter away the day slurping smoothies by the pool. TASTE Pouring fresh-pressed juices in the morning and pleasingly potent cocktails come evening time, laidback Colmo Bar – with its low-slung benches topped with stripy cushions – draws a chic crowd. Occupying a former stable block, Cavalariça (1) has cemented itself as one of the hottest tables for miles…
