The horrors of the red carpet are no match for Oscar winner Halle Berry, who made it look scarily easy at the world premiere of her latest film, post-apocalyptic shocker Never Let Go. Shimmering in chevron-striped crystal mesh and metallics (left) by Australian designer Tamara Ralph, Halle effortlessly took gold – and bronze and silver – as she posed for photos outside the Regal Times Square cinema in New York. Describing the atmosphere as “electric”, Halle told one red-carpet interviewer: “There’s no place like New York City.” Sharing the spotlight were castmates including Anthony B Jenkins and Percy Daggs IV, who play her on-screen sons. Posting photos and clips online, Halle revealed on Instagram: “Magical is an understatement to describe last [night].” Herself a mother of two, the actress also…

Unlike many of her royal relatives, when it comes to all things equine, Princess Beatrice prefers spectating to saddling up. However, she was definitely along for the ride at the recent Cornbury House Horse Trials in Oxfordshire, where she was spotted on the final day. Dressed in a casual outfit of denim shirt and linen skirt, the Princess madea low-key appearance at the event, which, after a break of almost two decades, was revived by the estate’s new owner, insurance magnate David Howden, in 2020. During a break in the eventing action, Beatrice was spied browsing the independent brands, art and artisan products on sale in the Cornbury Village shopping outlet (left). Her husband of four years Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi also attended, and was seen chatting to David’s wife Fiona.…

‘I was a red-headed, fair-skinned girl who was almost 5ft 11in at the age of 14. I would get teased, and it wasn’t kind’Nicole Kidman reflects on her childhood in documentary In Vogue: The 90s EMMA BUNTON Joins Ruby Wax for Absolutely Fabulous special Spice Girl Emma Bunton and comedienne Ruby Wax will join Jennifer Saunders and Dame Joanna Lumley in Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out, due to air on Gold in October. The programme will look back on the popular sitcom’s much-loved characters: PR boss Edina “Eddie” Monsoon, her champagne-loving friend Patsy Stone, her conventional daughter Saffron and Edina’s assistant Bubble. Jennifer, 66, said: “I loved making Ab Fab but I can’t remember a great deal, so much of this retrospective is a revelation to me. Thank you, Gold, for…

James recounts the momentous occasion of Kate and William’s wedding in Westminster Abbey in 2011 and how he was asked to play a pivotal part by giving a Bible reading, despite being dyslexic. He writes: “I thought they were joking. My mind raced back to school and my stumbling, incoherent efforts to read in front of the class. What were they thinking? Being dyslexic, reading is my least favourite occupation.” But when he asked them: “Seriously?”, they responded: “Seriously.” He practised the reading for months and enlisted the help of a voice coach. “I carried it with me everywhere, taking it out of my pocket to practise the lines, over which I tripped and stumbled, transposing syllables, getting my Ps and Bs — my nemeses — in a twist,” he…

It’s traditionally the time when the great and the good of fashion descend on the UK capital to see and be seen at catwalk shows. But this year’s London Fashion Week wasn’t just about the latest collections from hot designers. It also became the best place to check in on the next generation as they took their place on the front rows and runways – a special bonus as the event marked its 40th anniversary. Top of the guestlists were the offspring of the recently reunited Gallagher brothers, the clan at the centre of attention following news of Oasis’s sold-out concerts next year. At the Burberry show on the penultimate day, Noel Gallagher’s 24-year-old daughter Anaïs, from his marriage to Meg Mathews, was spotted with her cousins Molly Moorish-Gallagher, 26,…

I don’t know about you, but when I was growing up, 50 seemed quite old. Not ancient, but certainly past it. Remember the TV series The Golden Girls? That’s how 50-somethings were portrayed in the 1980s (the actresses were actually in their 60s). Now, that 50-something age bracket looks very different. Think of Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham, Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lopez, all fresh-faced with shiny hair, lithe bodies and stylish wardrobes. The way we think about getting older has changed, and there’s an increasing awareness of what’s possible with healthy living, HRT and, of course, tweakments. There just weren’t any tweakments available in the 1980s. In the chasm between facials and facelifts, there were a few dermatologists using cosmetic lasers for the sort of savage skin-resurfacing that left you…

In the Johnson family, fat sits central. “Who has the fattiest tummy?”my father would ask his grandchildren, and – until he lost stones in the I’m a Celebrity… jungle – my father Stanley used to win the Fatty Tummy contest. As the years pass, there are other contenders. When I sailed into my 50s, I took on more ballast. Compared with ten years ago, I am stouter. I exercise just as much and eat less. I even have love handles. But I have a theory that men don’t notice middle-aged spread, and if they do notice, they don’t care. There isn’t a man in the world who will look at a wedge of podge between a woman’s belly button and bikini line and decide that they will pass simply because…

Finding out that “temporary” facial fillers still lurk under your skin a decade later, as MRI images in recent press reports have shown, is unexpected and a bit off-putting. Add to that the increasing number of people suffering from filler migration, swelling over time and tissue distortion, and it’s no wonder that the tweakment-loving public is showing signs of filler fatigue. We are, some news platforms claim, moving away from the fast-acting but potentially problematic jabs, and instead exploring more “natural” heat-based devices and biostimulating injections, which work by kickstarting your body’s own rejuvenating machinery. But although this may be the case for some, there is evidence that fillers have lost none of their appeal among large swathes of society. Only this year, leading injectables brand Teoxane published its new…

Dubbed the needle-free facelift, Emface is a 20-minute procedure that has created a buzz in the beauty world. And now its latest innovation is set to redefine facial contouring: enter Emface Submentum. The state-of-the-art treatment uses a specialised device to deliver a patented combination of synchronised radiofrequency and muscle stimulation. Designed to enhance the profile of the jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin, the dermal and subdermal layers of the skin are heated as the lax submental muscles are toned, creating results that are natural-looking and longlasting. Being non-invasive with no recovery time, the 20-minute appointments can be scheduled during your lunch hour or at a time that suits you. The non-surgical approach makes Emface Submentum an ideal choice for those who wish to address fullness in…

If you’re in the midst of cancer treatment, it’s likely that you’ve found your skin to be dryer and more sensitive than usual. You may also have discovered that aesthetic practitioners are cautious about treating your skin, which can be frustrating when you know that a little TLC would make you feel better. “Having cancer rocks your world,” says Dr Sophie Shotter, the founder of Illuminate Skin Clinics in London and Kent. “The fact that you’re struggling with this internal disease is written all over your external appearance, and you might look in the mirror and not recognise yourself any more. Skin treatments can help you feel like yourself again.” Dermatologist Dr Stefanie Williams of London’s Eudelo Clinic agrees. “Keeping up your beauty routine during treatment can be a radical…

‘Playing this unparalleled, incredible human being has been my great privilege’Elizabeth Debicki TV royalty brought glitz and glamour to Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater last week for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. Leading the line-up of dazzling dresses was Jennifer Aniston, the former Friends star stunning in a shimmering column gown by Oscar de la Renta. The intricate design was adorned with pearls and rhinestones, with Jennifer saying: “I’m held together with every inch of my life,” and adding: “It’s simple and it’s beautiful.” The 55-year-old added more sparkle with a diamond bracelet and earrings by Tiffany & Co. Jennifer’s co-star on The Morning Show, Reese Witherspoon, looked equally elegant in a strapless black Christian Dior gown featuring cascading floral embroidery. Metallics were a red carpet trend, with Schitt’s Creek star…

As well as joining castmates Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid, the Los Angeles premiere of new film The Substance was an ideal opportunity for Demi Moore to hang out with her personal crew: daughters Scout LaRue, Tallulah and Rumer Willis. The trio were among special guests invited to the screening and Q&A session at The Directors Guild of America Theater, where they posed proudly with their mother on the red carpet. Posting photos including a family group shot (below, from left, Scout, Tallulah, Demi and Rumer), Demi said on Instagram: “Last night’s LA premiere of The Substance with the best,” and added a heart emoji. She also praised her floor-sweeping red-and-black Oscar de la Renta gown (right), calling it “beautiful”. The actor’s daughters could not have been more supportive, with…

Princess of Wales back at work after chemotherapy The Princess of Wales has returned to royal duties, a week after revealing that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The Court Circular confirmed that she had held a meeting about early years development at Windsor Castle – her first appearance in the official record of royal events since her treatment ended. HELLO! understands that Kate, 42, will undertake a light programme of work between now and the end of the year. The mother of three is hoping to join the royal family at the Cenotaph to mark Remembrance Sunday in November, and has also begun working with her team on her annual carol service at Westminster Abbey. In January, it was announced that the Princess had undergone abdominal surgery…

Alizée’s introduction to both James and his family was accidental – first with Ella playing matchmaker, and then an unplanned encounter with his sister Kate, Prince William and their children. In his new book, James describes how, after he and Alizée attend a wedding near his parents’ home, the pair let themselves into the house in the middle of the night, not knowing that William, Kate, George and Charlotte are also house guests. James only discovers this when he is woken by his nephew and niece giggling in the morning; they take him downstairs, where he finds Kate and William drinking tea in the kitchen. After a while, Alizée appears, half-asleep and wearing one of his shirts. “In situations like this, Alizée is wonderfully French. She does not panic or…

As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of specialist equipment for aesthetic solutions, BTL has already made waves in the industry by developing revolutionary devices for muscle sculpting and restoration – the breakthrough Emsculpt Neo and Emface. And now the company has unveiled its latest pioneering treatment: Exion, with four hand-held devices that address skin texture and sagging on 20 areas on the face and body, without the need for needles, surgery or downtime. Exion is a patented technology that not only promotes collagen and elastin synthesis but also stimulates the natural production of hyaluronic acid, the first of its kind to do so without needles. A combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound boosts natural hyaluronic acid and hydrates and plumps the skin from within to give a more youthful appearance.…

Most of us will have noticed how stress or tiredness show up on our faces. A few sleepless nights can result in a rough, dull complexion, or you may find that anxiety triggers breakouts. Research confirms that our mental health has a direct impact on the health of our skin – and now aesthetic clinics are taking note. Hormones such as the primary stress hormone cortisol can lead to inflammation and premature ageing. A study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that high stress levels can impair the skin’s barrier function, leading to dryness, irritation and even flare-ups of conditions including eczema and psoriasis. What’s more, studies highlight the connection between poor mental health and disrupted sleep, which reduces the skin’s ability to repair and regenerate.…

One of the best-kept secrets of hormone therapy? It can have a wondrous effect on midlife skin. “Women see a huge difference in their skin,” says gynaecologist Miss Anne Henderson. “HRT can boost texture and tone, reduce wrinkles and help resolve menopausal acne.” We are sitting in Anne’s Amara Clinic on London’s Harley Street, where I am having a 60-minute menopause consultation. This is an in-depth chat in which I share my symptoms and concerns – and she dispenses life-changing wisdom. Anne is one of only a handful of people deemed an advanced specialist by the British Menopause Society, so appointments with her are in demand. Women flock to see her thanks to her empathetic nature and 35 years of experience. Vivacious and glamorous, she is a walking advertisement for…

KIM KARDASHIAN’S SURPRISING SKIN SMOOTHER The reality star says she will stop at nothing to keep skin ageing at bay, and so far it seems to be working for the 43-year-old mum of four who once told a magazine that she would “eat poop” if it kept her looking young. Kim’s most recent approach caused just as much of a stir when she revealed on an episode of The Kardashians that she had had a “salmon sperm” facial. Listed at Miss Elizabeth Hawkes’s Chelsea clinic as Ameela polynucleotides, this popular skin-firming treatment does, in fact, contain salmon sperm. “Wild salmon DNA, which is used in Ameela’s polynucleotide gel, is known for its regenerative and healing properties, because of its compatibility with cellular receptors,” says Elizabeth, a consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic…

Flip the switch on skin ageing with Eucerin’s pioneering serum. Developed after 15 years of research and with more than 50,000 active ingredients tested, the product is inspired by epigenetics – the study of how lifestyle and environmental factors affect our gene expression and skin health. Its revolutionary ingredient, Epicelline, is a powerful active developed by scientists to reduce the effect on the skin of factors including sun exposure, unhealthy diets, stress and pollution. Combined with hyaluronic acid, glycine saponin and enoxolone, it reactivates youth genes, rejuvenating the skin and helping to reverse the ten visible signs of ageing in four weeks.* Great skin days? They’re all in the genes. POWERED BY EUCERIN…

Although most at-home beauty tools start gathering dust before too long, LED face masks seem to enjoy more long-term use. They’re said to plump skin, calm inflammation and treat breakouts – and although they might look scary, celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston and Kelly Rowland swear by them. So it’s not surprising that sales of these hands-free devices are booming. However, a recent report published in The Times suggests that because LED masks only target the outer layer of skin, they cannot support the production of collagen. Certainly, at-home masks will never be as powerful as an in-clinic treatment, but their skin-strengthening benefits are not to be sniffed at. Dr Raj Arora, a GP and founder of aesthetics clinic The FaceBible, encourages her clients to think of them as…

As a multi award-winning medical aesthetic practice, The Cosmetic Skin Clinic specialises in soft, subtle, natural facial rejuvenation treatments for men and women. Its latest procedure promises a flattering effect of non-surgical tightening and lifting for firmer skin: meet Ultherapy. A market-leading collagen booster, Ultherapy has become known as the gold-standard treatment in skin lifting and tightening. It uses micro-focused ultrasound energy to target the deep layers of the skin. The Cosmetic Skin Clinic has performed the most Ultherapy treatments in the UK and Ireland, which are non-invasive and used for lifting and tightening the skin on the face, neck, chin and brow. As we age, our collagen levels deplete, but with Ultherapy’s precise micro-focused ultrasound technology, the body’s skin repair process is rebooted to stimulate natural collagen production. The…

There was no kink-shaming at the UK launch of Fenty Hair in Selfridges. In fact, it was all about curl power, thanks to Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna. The singer and beauty mogul welcomed guests to the Fenty Hair “Mane Street” pop-up at the London branch of the department store, where fans could experience the scents and ingredients of the collection. Wearing her cuddly new-season Jacquemus teddy-bear coat off the shoulder and belted (left), Rihanna kept her accessories and make-up simple, allowing her hair to shine as the star of the show. A fan of wigs and weaves, as well as her natural coils, Rihanna launched Fenty Hair in the US and online in June, promising fans that “every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair”.…

It is known as Prince’s Day (Prinsjesdag), but at this year’s official opening of the Dutch parliamentary year, all eyes were on the Princesses. Taking her place alongside her parents King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima in the glass coach were the Dutch heir Catharina Amalia – Princess of Orange – and her younger sister Alexia. Looking poised, confident and regal, the Princesses waved and smiled during the procession through the streets of The Hague from Noordeinde Palace to the Royal Theatre, where the King gave his customary speech. It is the third time that 20-year-old Princess Catharina Amalia has attended the ceremony, after making her debut in 2022, famously wearing an emerald green dress from Asos. This year, she stuck to the same colour palette, but upped the fashion ante…

Throughout the book, James speaks of the close bond he has with his family, particularly his sisters, Kate and Pippa. Just a couple of days before her engagement to Prince William is announced in 2010, Kate confides in her siblings and, James writes, they “make a quiet acknowledgement that they’ll always be there for each other, look out for one another, support each other – no matter how crazy things get”. He continues: “William has been in our lives for so long and we’ve grown very fond of him. He feels like our older brother and he and Catherine are so clearly a good fit – just right for each other. As we digest the news, I know I haven’t yet experienced the love they feel for each other. But…

Whether it’s you or a loved one who’s experienced urinary incontinence, it’s time to banish the stigma. Overflow incontinence occurs when you are unable to fully empty your bladder, causing frequent leaking, while total incontinence happens when your bladder cannot store any urine at all. The unintentional passing of urine can affect all ages and can be triggered by pregnancy and childbirth, ageing, the menopause, obesity or family history. Whatever the cause, the right incontinence product can offer immediate relief, ensuring you feel secure, comfortable and confident. Boots Staydry has been caring for people with bladder weakness and incontinence since 2002. The range draws on years of industry experience to provide products customers and caregivers can rely on. The Staydry collection caters for men and women, and includes liners, pads,…

Her clever twists on classics and outside-the-box ideas have become her trademark, making Nadiya Hussain one of the UK’s most successful TV chefs. Now the 2015 Great British Bake Off winner is turning her talents to the theme of “waste not, want not” as she encourages us to love our leftovers. In a new six-part BBC series, Cook Once, Eat Twice, and its accompanying book, Nadiya shows the country how to create exciting new recipes from scraps. Since becoming arguably the best-loved winner in the history of Bake Off, Nadiya, who has British-Bangladeshi heritage and turns 40 later this year, has been catapulted into a high-profile career encompassing books, documentaries, cooking shows, a memoir and an MBE. ‘Being in front of the camera feels like my safe space.

Surgery was scheduled for 8am and the patient was anaesthetised by the time I was allowed into theatre. Dressed head-to-toe in cerulean scrubs, I made my way into the room where Mr Georgios “George” Orfaniotis, a London-based consultant plastic surgeon specialising in facial aesthetic surgery, would carry out a deep-plane facelift on a 46-year-old woman who had kindly given permission for me to observe. Mindful not to get in the way, I hovered five feet away from the patient. Like a scene from Grey’s Anatomy, beeping machinery surrounded the patient, music played in the background and six surgical staff carried out preparations while George, calm and collected, made his first incision. I’m not squeamish, but the sight of skin peeling away, along with a whiff of disinfectant – all on…

◆ BEWARE OZEMPIC FACE “These drugs reduce fibroblast activation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which isn’t a good thing. Add to this the sudden fat loss in the face and you get ‘Ozempic face’. If I have a patient who is losing a lot of weight, we often jump in and do some collagen-stimulating treatments to prevent volume loss and to scaffold and support the face.” Dr Johanna Ward, cosmeticskinclinic.com ◆ SLEEP ON YOUR BACK “When you sleep on your side or stomach, your face is pressed against the pillow, which can create creases and lines on your skin. Over time, these sleep lines become permanent wrinkles, particularly on the cheeks and chin. Back sleeping keeps your face free of pressure and can reduce the likelihood of fluid pooling…
