Overlooking the beautiful Valdinievole, the Tuscan valley immortalised by Leonardo da Vinci, Villa Medicea di Montevettolini is a Renaissance masterpiece. Built as a hunting lodge by the Medicis in the 16th century, it has been home since 1871 to another of Italy’s most prominent dynasties, the Borgheses. Naturally, during its long history, the house has hosted countless society celebrations. But none can have been happier than the nuptials last year of Prince Fabio Borghese and his Los Angeles-born bride, Angelica Krystle Donati. Both successful businesspeople – he in the luxury sector and she in construction – the couple have a great deal in common. Added to that, now, is their shared commitment to this extraordinary place. “From an early age, I learnt to love this villa, which always gave me…

The image of Claudia Winkleman sitting astride a black steed, her face covered in a black veil, wearing a white ruffled shirt under a black jacket, has fast become one of this year’s most powerful fashion moments – and it’s one of her most iconic looks since The Traitors first aired. Just as the show’s audience (9.2 million and counting) wait on tenterhooks for the next twist in TV’s murderous game of wits, which returned with a star-studded cast earlier this month, they also eagerly anticipate the next ensemble in the host’s dramatically fabulous wardrobe. It’s the work of one woman: the stylist Sinead McKeefry, who’s been working with Claudia for 20 years. And given that her client is one of the busiest prime-time TV presenters in the UK, it’s…

Enjoying plenty of laughter on a day out together in Northern Ireland, the Prince and Princess of Wales put their close and loving partnership fully on display. From baking traditional potato cakes and collecting apples to riding in a fire truck and attempting a floodwater rescue drill, the royal couple looked more relaxed and happier together than ever. And as they prepare to move from Adelaide Cottage into their new “forever home” on the Windsor estate within days, they are very much focused on the future, having overcome an extraordinarily challenging 18 months. A source close to the Waleses tells HELLO!: “This is very much the start of a new chapter after some difficult years at Adelaide Cottage, and they’re looking forward to making happy memories in their new home.”…

Julia Roberts was 22 years old when she starred in Pretty Woman, the film that would catapult her to worldwide fame. Since then, she has won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the legal drama Erin Brockovich and featured in smash hits including Notting Hill and My Best Friend’s Wedding. Now – 35 years after that life-changing appearance in Pretty Woman – Julia is starring in After the Hunt, a controversial movie already tipped for awards. It’s a sign, she says, that her roles are only getting better as she gets older. “I see that a bonus of ageing [is] that you get to play more complex things, because you have a greater life of resources to excavate from,” she says. After the Hunt, which had its world…

Ravishingly beautiful, Lee Miller was a celebrated darling of the New York social scene of the Twenties and Thirties, modelling for Vogue and mixing with contemporary celebrities including Charlie Chaplin and George Gershwin. However, her enduring glamour has, at times, obscured an extraordinary life of artistic achievement that encompasses Surrealist art, fashion photography and war reportage. Now, a new exhibition at London’s Tate Britain celebrates Lee’s career, ranging from her early photography to her documentation of the Second World War, including the famous shot of her posing in Hitler’s bathtub after his downfall. “She has been trivialised because she started out as a model, and because of the word ‘muse’ that followed her around,” says Hilary Floe, the museum’s senior curator of modern and contemporary British art, who has curated…

For the first time in 20 years, the S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens is single and embracing a fresh start. When the singer ended a three-year relationship with her Dancing On Ice partner Brendyn Hatfield in the summer, it stirred up emotions that she had been bottling up for decades – from suffering panic attacks as a teenager in S Club 7 to the divorce of her parents to the end of her own marriage to Alex Bourne, the father of her two daughters, Amelie and Minnie. “For a long time, I put a smile on and turned up and became the person that I thought I should be and got very lost along the way,” admits Rachel, 47, in a deeply personal chat with HELLO! on this week’s…

Select outerwear that endures-classic lines, sharp silhouettes and practicality…

I am 51 and want to both feel desire and be desired. Shocking, right? At my advanced age, shouldn’t I be retiring my libido, pulling the shutters down on my sexuality and contemplating a shift into pants so big they have their own postcode? I’m saying no. And joining me in this refusal are a slew of women in the public eye who are showing that sexy and older aren’t mutually exclusive. There’s Sharon Stone, 67, seductive in the new Mugler campaign, featuring plunging necklines, spike heels and a man at least 30 years younger. A few weeks ago, Jane Fonda, 87, Viola Davis, 60, and Gillian Anderson, 56, walked the L’Oréal runway looking smoking hot. And Dame Denise Lewis has just posed for her first lingerie campaign for Coco…

Many were sceptical upon learning that Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s workplace mockumentary The Office was to have an American spin-off. That was 20 years ago, and the US version proved a massive success, propelling Steve Carell and John Krasinski into the spotlight in one of the most beloved sitcoms in US history. Fast-forward to today and the Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson is poised to win a similar spot in our hearts as the documentary crew who immortalised Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in The Office return to examine the inner workings of a struggling Midwestern newspaper. In The Paper, Domhnall, 42, plays Ned Sampson, the overly enthusiastic new editor of the Toledo Truth Teller and a man who grew up idolising Clark Kent rather than Superman. “He’s very romantic about…

The fashion designer Savannah Miller likes to jet to Mustique for the ultimate lavish getaway, but closer to home, she prefers simple elegance and cosy cashmere. ‘A luxury night out is going for cocktails with my husband in London, somewhere with low lighting and a candle, and then having a delicious dinner on a really crisp white table-cloth – ideally a tasting menu with innovative dishes. I love watching the creativity and flair of a chef coming out, going on a journey with them with a wine pairing and watching how that unfolds. My biggest indulgence i s skincare. I have a Keren Bartov facial once every quarter instead of putting anything in my face, and it really works. If I’m going to age gracefully, I can’t do it without Keren.…

BLUE IS THE COLOUR FOR JOELY Joely Richardson cut a striking figure as she stepped out at Christie’s auction house in London in a draped blue silk gown. The actress joined stars including Geri Horner, Sophie Dahl, Poppy Delevingne and Savannah Miller for an event celebrating 20th-century and 21st-century art. Joely, 60, who appears in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, recently told hello! how, despite her glamorous image, she still likes to get her hands dirty. Telling us about helping children grow vegetables through her work with the charity Save the Children, she said: “I can get lost in the garden for hours.” PRINCESS LEONOR ON PARADE Looking smart in her military uniform, Princess Leonor of Spain joined her parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, for the country’s National…

the moment you catch sight of Trinny Woodall, it’s clear that this is a woman who means business. Dressed head to toe in a canary yellow suit, she strides through her King’s Road boutique, a chief executive on a mission, stopping only to adjust a display here, to check a product there, as she prepares for her latest press launch. Her glittering disco-ball stilettos might be better suited to a dancefloor, but she navigates the space with complete control. Even in heels, the alpha energy is unmistakable. “As a CEO, I need to know every part of the business,” she says of her brand, Trinny London, which she launched in 2017 at her kitchen table and which now employs more than 200 people. “There’s a lot I’ve had to learn…

The phrase “style icon” gets bandied around more than it merits, but the actress Diane Keaton truly deserved the descriptor. She was 31 when she appeared in Woody Allen’s 1977 film Annie Hall, the breakout role that won her an Academy Award and saw her menswear‑coded trouser suits, waistcoats, turtlenecks, wide‑brimmed hats and clompy shoes not merely influence a generation of women but shift the dial for generations to come. “In the Seventies, I was finding my style and slowly finding my career,” Diane wrote in her 2024 fashion memoir, Fashion First. “Although The Godfather [in which she starred in 1972] was a huge success, it didn’t exactly put me on the map in terms of fashion.” Ralph Lauren, who supplied a blazer and a tie for Diane in Annie…

Kate Winslet has always done things her way. As a young actress starting out, she was criticised for not following the Hollywood norm of being skeletal thin, but she refused to diet. And as she has grown older, the actress, who turned 50 this month, has eschewed the Botox and facelifts that dominate her world. Instead, she says: “I am proud of my wrinkles. They tell the story of my life, of who I am and where I have been.” Even today, with plenty of awards under her belt, including an Oscar, she’s still fighting to look like the ordinary woman she insists she is. She adds that when making the film Lee, about the famous war photographer Lee Miller, she refused to hide her “belly rolls”. And so perhaps…

As the fashion pack hang up their access-all-areas passes for a few more months, we’re diving into the beauty moments that are already making us long for summer. Unlike the ceaseless confetti of trends born and buried on social media, the runways tap into a collective zeitgeist that transcends fruit-themed make-up trends or anything suffixed by “core”. This season’s mood? Unseasonably vampy – think brooding brows, smouldering lips and sooty liner – anchored by individuality. This is unapologetic, rule-breaking beauty with a point of view, from extreme nail lengths to uncontained curls and everything gloriously offbeat in between. Free the curl Fashion’s love affair with curls shows no signs of waning, and this season, they were unleashed in all their haphazard, unbridled glory. At shows where straighter-haired models were restricted…

THE KING The King joined forces with Cate Blanchett for an episode of Unearthed: The Need for Seeds, a podcast from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Taking part to celebrate 25 years of the Millennium Seed Bank, he said: “It’s wonderful what the seed bank is doing, but we’ve got to speed up the process.” The monarch recorded the podcast with Cate, Kew’s ambassador for Wakehurst, and Dr Elinor Breman, its senior research leader, in the gardens of Windsor Castle in July. PRINCESS EUGENIE Princess Eugenie praised the “truly beautiful” art created for mental health wards during a joint visit to Springfield University Hospital in south-west London with Princess Rajwa al Hussein of Jordan. The royals were supporting the charity Hospital Rooms, which commissions artists to make works to lift…

He has won critical acclaim for his portrayal of chef Carmy, bringing order to his late brother’s chaotic sandwich shop in the psychological drama The Bear. Now, Jeremy Allen White has temporarily pivoted away from the kitchen and into the world of music, where he is shortly to portray one of the icons of rock music, Bruce Springsteen. In Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the 34-year-old transforms himself into the singer otherwise known as “The Boss”. He had to learn to sing and play guitar like New Jersey-born Bruce – and even had to perform some of the songs from the hit album Nebraska to the man himself. Here, the actor talks about what steps he took to immerse himself in the role, what happened when he met the singer…

GOTHIC FANTASIES Perhaps it’s the whisper of next year’s hotly anticipated Wuthering Heights film that’s stirring a collective craving for brooding romance, but the hairstylist Odile Gilbert’s Brontë sisters-inspired windswept waves at Max Mara certainly had us reaching for our curling tongs. The secret? Vary your section sizes and switch up your curling direction to keep things looking effortless and organic. Heathcliff, is that you?…
