For adrenaline-seeking women keen to experience the thrill of hurtling for three-quarters of a mile over an icy toboggan track at speeds of around 87mph, the past century has been an uphill struggle. For Chemmy Alcott, however, it was downhill all the way as she tackled a section of the infamous Cresta Run (right). No stranger to historic firsts, the four-time Olympian and Ski Sunday presenter (above) visited Switzerland in celebration of the Cresta Run’s inaugural Ladies Grand National race, in which female participants were able to compete against one another on the entire course for the first time since 1921 (a total ban on women riding the run was only lifted in 2018). Chemmy, whose alpine skiing career saw her represent the UK in the Winter Olympics as well…

A gorgeous floaty dress by the Princess of Wales’s favourite designer and a ride in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile (right) – complete with “meatbelts” and condiment-coloured leather interior: two of the treats that helped ensure Drew Barrymore felt like top dog as she filmed a special birthday edition of her US talk show in New York, ahead of turning 49. “My whole life I’ve been waiting for this,” said the star, elegant in a Jenny Packham Sunbird creation (left), before being taken for a spin around the Big Apple in the eye-catching vehicle. The show, which aired on Drew’s actual birthday last week, also featured ketchups with cast members and the announcement that she will be getting her own Madame Tussauds waxwork. “I always wondered, like: ‘Would I ever get…

Being surrounded by boundary-pushing design talent could cramp anyone’s style – but not the Duchess of Edinburgh’s. On a trip to the London College of Fashion’s new home in Stratford, East London, to mark Fashion Week, Sophie stuck to her proven formula of quiet elegance, wearing a belted navy and black check Emilia Wickstead shirt dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes and a grey clutch from her go-to accessories label Sophie Habsburg. The Duchess, 59, has been patron of the college since 2013 and is a passionate supporter of its Better Lives initiative to use fashion to drive change and build a sustainable future. As well as viewing the class of 2024 postgraduate show, Sophie also chatted to next-gen designers, including Danny Suwandi (left, with the Duchess), who is studying for his…

If Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word, “sold” was undoubtedly the easiest as bids on items in an auction of art and artefacts owned by Sir Elton John went stratospheric, faster than a Rocket Man. Part of a Christie’s New York sale titled Goodbye Peachtree Road, the items had come from Elton’s 13,000sq ft condo in Atlanta, Georgia, which he recently sold after 32 years. Among the headliners were a Banksy triptych, which fetched more than $1.9m, and an untitled Keith Haring (below). There were photos by Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon, plus a print (above) of a Terry O’Neill portrait of Elton, taken as part of an album cover shoot in 1974. There were also watches including a jewel-encrusted Rolex (below left), and a Bentley Continental convertible, which…

After rubbing shoulders with Hollywood A-listers at the Bafta Film Awards in London, the Prince of Wales congratulated the winners before heading straight home to Windsor for an early night. Prince William has made the daily school run a priority while his wife the Princess continues her recovery from abdominal surgery, so the next day, he drove Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to school at Lambrook, putting parenthood first. And it was his strength of feeling “as a father” that prompted him to make a powerful statement the following day – one that quickly dominated the news agenda. The Prince was visiting the British Red Cross headquarters in central London, to hear about efforts to support those suffering as a result of the conflict in Gaza and Israel,…

BEYONCE Makes history as she tops country charts Beyoncé has made history as the first black woman to reach No. 1 in the Hot Country Songs chart.

For someone who once advised people to “live every day like it’s your birthday”, Paris Hilton has set the bar high for her actual birthdays. And this year was no exception when she celebrated turning 43 at more than 7,500ft above sea level.

From next month, Cat Deeley’s smiling face and sunny demeanour will be appearing on our screens four days a week as she co-hosts ITV’s This Morning with Ben Shephard.

‘I’ve heard Princess Anne describe herself as an early adopter of making do and mend’ When she stepped out in February wearing a purple jacket that once belonged to her beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II, the Princess Royal was praised for her touching gesture. But her choice of outfit also spoke volumes about the way she approaches fashion. For although Princess Anne has long been one of the most hardworking members of the royal family, notching up 457 engagements last year, she also has one of the most hard-working wardrobes in public life. Like her brother the King, Anne, 73, is often pictured wearing pieces that date back decades. Her timeless style and striking choice of military uniform at the coronation even inspired a recent menswear collection by the Italian…

As a key member of one of Britain’s best-loved boybands, The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness has mingled with movie stars and rubbed shoulders with royalty and leading politicians. “I travelled the world and met presidents, actors and actresses I really admire, and literal royals,” the Glad You Came singer tells HELLO!. “And I was meeting them on a level where some of the veil is dropped and you speak to the people they are.
