IT’S LA DOLCE VITA FOR LILY Seeing out the final weeks of summer in style, the British actress Lily James couldn’t have looked more relaxed as she basked in the sunshine during an Italian getaway. The break seems to have been filled with friends and good food, with the star captioning photos from her sun-soaked trip simply with a pasta emoji. It has been an exciting summer for the Mamma Mia! actress, 36, who has been pictured at Glastonbury and at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, as well as enjoying a trip to Tokyo in between the release of her most recent projects. “I only want to do stuff that I really care about. I want to spend time with the people I love. I want to make the most of…

When he first appeared on our screens as Downton Abbey’s Lord Grantham in 2010, Hugh Bonneville won the hearts of the nation. Since then, the actor, 61, has received a Bafta Award nomination for his portrayal of Ian Fletcher in the BBC mockumentary Twenty Twelve, also starring as Mr Henry Brown in the Paddington films. Now, he is set to return as Downton’s patriarch – a role that earned him a Golden Globe nomination and two Emmy Award nods – as the series bows out with its third and final film, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Last week, the actor made a rare appearance on the red carpet for the movie’s world premiere with his girlfriend, Heidi Kadlecová, with whom he has been romantically involved since October 2024. Here, Hugh…

When Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor competed in the National Carriage Driving Championships at the Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club in Essex last week, there was a special someone to cheer her on. The King’s niece was joined by Felix da Silva-Clamp, her rumoured boyfriend, who supported her enthusiastically from the sidelines, as seen in these exclusive photos. Felix seemingly had been absent from the opening day of the three-day event, but was on hand to watch the royal as she moved into a bronze medal position ahead of the competition’s final day on Sunday. CLOSE COMPANIONS Speaking to HELLO!, an onlooker described the pair as being mindful of showing overt expressions of affection, but said that people could “tell they’re very close”. They were seen getting some food and sharing jokes,…

STARRY LINE‑UP Autumn/winter 2025 is a season of A-list glamour with a Hollywoodworthy cast. Louis Vuitton enlisted the double Oscar-winner Emma Stone (right) and Squid Game’s breakout star HoYeon Jung for its latest campaign, shot by Ethan James Green. At Balenciaga, Nicole Kidman joined the French actress Isabelle Huppert, the model Claudia Schiffer and the actor Patrick Schwarzenegger (son of Arnold) at a Biarritz hotel, captured by Juergen Teller. Saint Laurent’s Velvet Heat collection, photographed by Mert Alas, stars Kate Moss and Chloë Sevigny in sundrenched Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Miu Miu called on Kylie Jenner, Prada featured her sister Kendall and Sharon Stone made a triumphant return to Mugler, three decades after her runway debut in 1992.

Once the preserve of rehabilitation clinics or enjoyed beachside in Thailand alongside a prescription for a coconut and a nap, lymphatic drainage has undergone a glossy rebrand. Social media, ever the master of the makeover montage, seemingly has plucked it from obscurity (despite its ancient roots), buffed it to a high sheen and presented it as the wellness essential. Boosted by Soho Farmhouse’s recent residency with the lymphatic drainage specialist Dimple Amani and by Shape House, Australia’s cult lymphatic drainage studio, staging a pop-up at London’s Takroni Clinic (takroniclinic.com) until the end of the month, the treatment’s profile has never been more illustrious. Perhaps it’s no wonder. According to a study by the University of Leicester, most of us sit for an average of nine to ten hours a day.…

From The IT Crowd to Bridesmaids, Chris O’Dowd has carved out a niche as one of our most charming, down‑to‑earth stars. Now, the Irish actor, 45, has swapped life in Hollywood for leafy Richmond in southwest London, returning to the UK with his wife, the author and broadcaster Dawn O’Porter, 46, and their sons, Art, ten, and Valentine, eight. The couple, who met in 2009 at Dawn’s 30th birthday party, got engaged in December 2011 and married in London the following year. Here, Chris reflects on fame, fatherhood and his narration of the BBC’s popular animated series Puffin Rock, which returns for a third series this month. Chris, how are you finding life back in London? “I think we always knew we were going to return at some stage. One…

All smiles in the autumn sunshine, the Prince and Princess of Wales got back to work with a visit to the Natural History Museum last week after a summer of family fun. Looking tanned and healthy and with Kate showing off her new blonde hair colour, they carried out their first joint engagement since mid-July, joining schoolchildren enjoying a trip to the London attraction. William and Kate made the outing a day after their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, returned to Lambrook School for the start of their final year there together before George moves up to senior school. “They’re getting big now; George is already in my shoes,” Kate told well-wishers as she arrived at the museum. BUSY SCHEDULE As the family prepares…

Modern works of art jostle for attention on the walls, the shelves are adorned with books and curated treasures, and the opulent sofas, arranged on a leopard-skin rug, bring a kaleidoscope of colour to a room that invites visitors to sit down and take it all in. The London apartment of the renowned art collector Pauline Karpidas feels like a shrine to surrealist and contemporary art – one that is, according to Oliver Barker, the chairman of Sotheby’s Europe, “overwhelming to the senses”. “When you walk into the salon, you are bedazzled by so many wonderful objects. One can ordinarily walk into a collector’s home and love a number of different things, and be slightly less impressed by one or two others. But with Pauline’s, it’s a complete sensory overload.”…

Patsy Kensit, the former child star turned Hollywood actress, has married four musicians and lived most of her life in the spotlight. But, she reveals, it is her relationships with her sons – James, with the Simple Minds frontman Jim Kerr, and Lennon, with the Oasis star Liam Gallagher – that she treasures above all else. Between her roles on Emmerdale (from 2004 to 2006) and EastEnders (in 2023), her main focus was on James, now a film and music video director, and Lennon, a model. Seeing them leave home was tough, she tells Ateh Jewel on HELLO!’s Second Act podcast this week. “I was co-dependent on my sons, to the point that it wasn’t fair on them,” says the actress, 57. “I could sense that in them. They’re 24…

Few designers have reshaped the way we think about fashion as much as Amy Powney, founder of the womenswear label Akyn. Her uncompromising approach to sustainable fashion reached a global audience through Fashion Reimagined, the award-nominated 2023 documentary that followed her mission to create a collection from field to finished garment, and her Ted talk, How to Fix Fashion and Protect the Planet. After studying fashion design at Kingston University, Amy joined Mother of Pearl in 2006, becoming its creative director in 2015 and taking the helm at the brand until 2024. Launching this month, Amy extends her progressive design vision to the coastal clothing brand Finisterre with a limited-edition capsule collection, marking a more fashion-forward chapter for the brand. In celebration of the launch, £5,000 will be donated to…

Apples ripe for picking, a glut of Netflix greatness and offspring who are now someone else’s responsibility all day… September is excellent for many reasons. For a fashion lover like me, its biggest appeal is that it ushers in a new season, offering the chance for a sartorial refresh. Shops finally ship out the jumble of sale items (they’ve been looking low-key ransacked for weeks) and replace them with tantalising fresh stock. Thick issues of style magazines hit the shelves, promising the possibility of a chicer new you. It’s a chance to reinvent and rejuvenate. After a summer of undone and relaxed, who doesn’t relish feeling glossy and groomed? But this autumn, there’s a threat to the delight. Many of the trends are challenging, either deliberately frumpy or the exact…

STAY Whether you’re on a multi-generational trip or a break with older or younger children, Barbados offers a stress-free escape that will make even the moodiest teen want to put their phone down. For beautiful beachfront escapes, check out resorts such as Sea Breeze Beach House and O2 Beach Club & Spa, both on the Caribbean island’s south coast. Sea Breeze caters more for younger kids while O2 is aimed at teens, although the younger ones will still enjoy it. The staff at the hotels go above and beyond, gently encouraging children who want to join in games of beach cricket or football. Both hotels have adults-only pools for those much-needed moments away. Sea Breeze has a floating trampoline and water hammocks – enough to make any eye-rolling teen unplug…

Princess Marie Caroline of Liechtenstein made a beautiful bride when she married her Prince Charming, Leopoldo Maduro Vollmer, in a lavish royal wedding last week. The only daughter of Hereditary Prince Alois, heir to the Liechtenstein throne, and his wife, Princess Sophie – and granddaughter of the tiny European country’s monarch, Prince Hans-Adam II – Marie Caroline said “I do” inside the picturesque Cathedral of St Florin in Vaduz, with crowds of well-wishers lining the streets. The bride wore the spectacular Habsburg Fringe tiara but chose to keep the designer of her delicate, full-length lace gown private. The Kokoshnik-style piece, which dates from around 1890 and features gold, silver and diamonds, has been worn by the bride’s mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. It was most recently worn by Princess Maria-Anunciata, Marie…

For the past 15 years, she has played the kind-hearted, no-nonsense cook Mrs Patmore in Downton Abbey. In reality, Lesley Nicol is just as endearing as her muchloved character, although she bears little resemblance to the matronly figure at the heart of the bustling downstairs kitchen. When HELLO! catches up with her for an exclusive interview, this time “above stairs” in a luxury Mayfair hotel, the petite actress rocks a stylish turquoise shirt and a sleek auburn hairdo, teamed with bold drop earrings and make-up. “I don’t mind looking terrible [for a role], I really don’t,” says Lesley, who later slipped into a sequinned black trouser suit to join her co-stars for the premiere of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in London’s Leicester Square. “If the part’s good, I’m on…

THE QUEEN The Queen enjoyed a visit to London’s Dulwich Picture Gallery with a group of school children from a local infant school. “Very exciting,” she said of the new Artplay Pavilion in the Sculpture Garden, as she tried out some interactive exhibits herself. Spotting a classic phone box designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, Her Majesty said to the school children: “Let’s see how many we can get in there,” before joining the youngsters who then rushed in. THE KING The King shared a laugh with Fathers at Birmingham’s Oratory of St Philip Neri during a visit – postponed from March, due to his cancer treatment – to mark the canonisation of Cardinal John Henry Newman in 2019. He viewed historic items in the library and was also shown…

The royal family is in mourning after the death of the Duchess of Kent last week. Buckingham Palace announced “with deep sorrow” that the 92-year-old Duchess had passed away peacefully at her home in Kensington Palace last Thursday evening, surrounded by her family. “The King and Queen and all members of the royal family join the Duke of Kent, his children and his grandchildren in mourning their loss and remembering fondly the Duchess’s lifelong devotion to all the organisations with which she was associated, her passion for music and her empathy for young people,” the palace said. The Prince and Princess of Wales said: “Our thoughts today are with the Duke of Kent and his family, particularly George, Helen and Nicholas. “The Duchess worked tirelessly to help others and supported…

“He made history and will be remembered for ever,” said Donatella Versace last week as she led the tributes to the king of Italian fashion, Giorgio Armani, after his death at the age of 91. One of the most influential and globally famous designers of the late 20th century, he was just weeks away from celebrating his company’s 50th anniversary at Milan Fashion Week. Throughout his career, Giorgio, who remained chief executive and creative director of the label until the day he died, dressed the great and the good of Hollywood, with Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Lady Gaga among his A-list clients. Other stars of the big screen shared their condolences. “One of the nicest people and mentors I was lucky enough to meet and work with,”…

GORDON RAMSAY  TV chef reveals skin cancer scare Gordon Ramsay has announced that he has undergone surgery to remove a non-malignant basal cell carcinoma. The TV chef, 58, shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo showing a dressing just under his left ear. He wrote: “Grateful and so appreciative for the incredible team at The Skin Associates and their fast reactive work on removing this basal cell carcinoma thank you! “Please don’t forget your sunscreen this weekend,” he reminded his followers, joking: “I promise you it’s not a facelift! I’d need a refund.” DUA LIPA & CALLUM TURNER  Celebrity couple become business partners The pop star Dua Lipa and her fiancé, the British actor Callum Turner, have gone into business together. The Houdini hitmaker, 30, and the Fantastic Beasts…

1 THE ARGYLE KNIT As seen on the catwalk at Khaite, Thom Browne and Prada, this traditional Scottish diamond pattern gets a modern update with pops of colour. Reflecting our affection for Balmoral style, the Argyle V-neck works layered over a white T-shirt with jeans. 2 THE CORDS Wide-leg trousers, in all their relaxed versatility, have taken on many forms this season, with Wardrobe NYC, Phoebe Philo and Gucci all offering slouchy fits. And corduroy, another big trend, offers a richly textured alternative to jeans. 3 THE ARCHITECTURAL HEEL With trousers running extra long this season, a little lift is essential. Enter the wearable mid-height sculptural heel. 4 THE OUTERWEAR Choosing a winter coat is one of the season’s biggest style investments. & Other Stories, the Swedish brand, delivers strong…

Cast your mind back to the early 2000s. Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly ruled the airwaves, size-zero celebrities dominated magazine covers and gourmand fragrances were everywhere. No dressing table was complete without Fantasy by Britney Spears, Angel by Thierry Mugler or Sui Dreams by Anna Sui – who could forget the kitsch handbag-shaped bottle? Two decades on, sugary scents are on fragrance aficionados’ wish lists again, but this time even the most achingly high-end fragrance houses are clamouring to satisfy our sweet tooth. Fashion editor favourite Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s latest launch, Kurky (£185, harrods.com), muddles ripe peach and raspberry with creamy vanilla for a comforting tutti-frutti offering, while Miller Harris’s Legato (£180, millerharris.com) offers a modern take on a vanilla gourmand, with notes of cherry, sandalwood and musk. ‘GUILT-FREE’ GOURMANDS…

Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe has built a following of nearly 380,000 on Instagram, where she shares her takes on fashion, beauty and homewares. Londonborn and raised, she is also Stormzy’s personal stylist and has worked with Anthony Joshua, Maya Jama and David Guetta. The pieces she recommends regularly sell out, and her new series, Love That (streaming on marksandspencer.com), combines accessible fashion and styling advice with weekly episodes designed to make a considered wardrobe feel effortless. She lives in London. ‘ I’m not much of a night owl, so a luxury evening is probably an early-ish dinner at a swanky restaurant. My current favourite place in London is Gaia; the sea bream carpaccio is so good. It’s served with smoked sea salt, lemon and three different oils that take you on a…
