With the Hollywood actors’ dispute resolved, there was even more cause for celebration than usual at the Gotham Awards in New York. It’s a ceremony honouring independent films, but this year it attracted some very mainstream names, with Penélope Cruz (far left) and Natalie Portman (left) among the stars helping to ensure the only thing striking on the night was the fashion. Penélope may have missed out on the Outstanding Supporting Performance prize for her role in Ferrari, but she was a clear contender for best-dressed in white Chanel lace. There was, however, no shortage of competition, with Natalie in Dior couture to support her May December castmate Charles Melton and represent her production company MountainA, which produced the film. Sharing photos on Instagram, the actress said it was a…

With a dress code saying “cosy opulence”, a venue kept top secret until hours before the event and a highly selective guest list, the world’s first look at Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé was no ordinary premiere. Arriving at Los Angeles’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater as the lights dimmed – and matching her silver Atelier Versace dress with platinum hair – the singer (far right) was accompanied by her husband Jay Z and their daughters Blue Ivy, 11, and Rumi, six. The most vocal support, however, came from her former Destiny’s Child bandmates, with Kelly Rowland (left) writing on Instagram: “The Renaissance film is NOT TO BE MISSED PERIOD!” and Michelle Williams (right) telling fans in a video: “Beyoncé’s new film is awesome, it is amazing.” Swapping LA’s sunshine for the UK…

As a food influencer, former The Great British Bake Off star Manon Lagrève’s days usually involve whipping up fancy bakes. But recently that’s been more of a challenge: as HELLO! exclusively revealed last week, she is pregnant with her second child. “My job is to create recipes, but all I wanted to eat was bread and butter because of the nausea,” Manon tells us, full of joy as she exclusively shares these family photos after announcing that she and husband Luke Bennett are expecting a little sibling for their two-year-old daughter Fleur in the spring. Manon, who turns 32 this month, and Luke, 39, know the sex of the baby, but are keeping it under wraps because Manon’s family want it to be a surprise. “We needed to know –…

Palace considers options after book slip-up Buckingham Palace was understood to be considering all options after a new book byOmid Scobie (above) accidentally revealed the names of two royals said to have discussed the skin colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s eldest child, Archie, before his birth. A Dutch edition of Endgame by Omid named the individuals last week, with all copies in that country immediately recalled by the publishers. However, the names soon emerged on social media and were repeated by Piers Morgan on his TalkTV show. “Because I don’t believe any racist comments were ever made by any of the royal family, and until there is actual evidence of those comments being made, I will never believe it,” said Piers. “But now we can start the…

Fans of actor Timothée Chalamet had their own Golden Ticket moment when the 2018 Oscar nominee arrived at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the world premiere of his latest film, Wonka. Braving the cold in a pink velvet Tom Ford suit (and no shirt), the film’s leading man (right) happily chatted with the crowd, who had waited for hours to see him, and posed for selfies. Playing the young chocolate-maker in the musical was a “new challenge”, said Timothée, 27, adding: “It was a whole new world to play within.” In addition, he joked, filming with the largely British cast – Hugh Grant, Rowan Atkinson and Olivia Colman among them – meant he “became an honorary Brit for a couple of months”.

She has never had to look far for the love and support of strong women, and two of her greatest influences were by Princess Eugenie’s side as she prepared for one of the most important moments of her life.
