It has been an extraordinary year for Kate Winslet. First, she watched her daughter, Mia Threapleton, 25, enjoy her big break when the young actress appeared in The Phoenician Scheme with Scarlett Johansson. Now, her elder son, Joe Anders, 21, has brought his first screenplay to life – with a little help from his mother. His deeply personal script for Goodbye June moved Kate so profoundly that she wanted to direct and star in the film herself. Having been accepted to study at London’s National Film and Television School, Joe had been encouraged to write from his own experience. “His grandmother – my mum – passed away in 2017, when he was a teenager,” Kate says. “He saw how our vast family came together under quite strange circumstances, and from…

It’s the raunchy TV series that captivated viewers last year, and Rivals proved the perfect cure for the Queen when she binge‑watched the show while she was ill with pneumonia, she revealed last week. Her Majesty enjoyed a day on the set of the Disney+ show in Bristol, where the second series of the popular adaptation of the late Dame Jilly Cooper’s “bonkbuster” is being filmed. She met cast members including Alex Hassell, who plays lothario Rupert Campbell‑Black, David Tennant, Victoria Smurfit, Bella Maclean and Nafessa Williams. “How nice to see you – I’ve watched you all. It looks really fun,” Camilla said as she was given a behind‑the‑scenes tour. “It’s really good fun and we all get on very well, which makes all the saucy stuff not too awkward,”…

Christmas is a special time for families, festive traditions and delicious food – and, just as we do, A-listers and Hollywood stars cherish the simple moments between 25 December and New Year. Some of showbiz’s best-loved celebrities have been asked about their favourite moments during the festive period, and their answers are charming. From Amanda Holden’s joyful decorations and Katy Perry’s fun Grinch costume to Kerry Washington’s pyjama revelation and Sabrina Carpenter’s sparkly New Year, the stars reveal how they spend their winter holiday… SABRINA CARPENTER The Espresso singer is known for her shimmering outfits, but at Christmas, she prefers to take a break from sequins. “I’m constantly in a sparkly number, so I like to do the holiday season in a different way,” says Sabrina, 26, who found fame…

Whether you’re reading this on a sun lounger during a well-deserved winter break or tucked up cosily at home enjoying snuggly season, the chances are that your skin is thirstier than normal. Why? Because the cold weather and central heating dry out our skin. And if you’re lucky enough to have jetted off for some December sun, the long-haul flight is likely to have sapped your skin of moisture. When our skin is at its thirstiest, it’s time to call in the big guns. As the skin expert Lindsay van der Looij explains, at this time of year, simply looking for moisturisers and serums containing our usual hydration go-to, hyaluronic acid (HA), isn’t enough. Rather, we need to focus on the type of HA we use. “Hyaluronic acid is a…

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHERE TO GO? Of all these trips of a lifetime, perhaps a safari demands the greatest amount of research and the biggest financial outlay. However, don’t worry: an expensive safari doesn’t guarantee sightings and a budget trip can still be astonishing. That’s the beauty of wildlife travel – the animals are in control. First, decide what’s most important to you. If it’s a specific species, educate yourself. For mountain gorillas, you must look to Rwanda or Uganda; for tigers, your attention will be on India; and for orangutans, it’s Borneo. However, if you want the archetypal safari experience, with Big Five sightings, tented camps and classic game drives, it has to be Africa. We suggest South Africa for a malaria-free safari that’s ideal for first-timers and…

Zoe Saldaña is riding high. Earlier this year, she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the musical Emilia Pérez. Now, she is about to be seen in cinemas worldwide as she returns for the third instalment of James Cameron’s epic science-fiction saga Avatar. The first film made more than £2bn at the global box office, breaking the director’s previous record for Titanic. The actress, 47, who was born in New York and has Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage, found fame in the 2000 film Center Stage before gaining international recognition thanks to her roles in the Star Trek and Avatar franchises. Here, Zoe – who is mother to twins Cy and Bowie, 11, and Zen, eight, with her husband of 12 years, the Italian…

CLAUDIA IS QUEEN OF THE CASTLE There were smiles all round when the TV presenter Claudia Winkleman collected her MBE from the King at Windsor Castle. The host of The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, who was recognised for her services to broadcasting in the King’s Birthday Honours, looked stylish in a white suit and co-ordinating headband. “An incredible morning and an enormous honour. I’m speechless,” she wrote on Instagram following the investiture ceremony, where she was joined by her husband, the film producer Kris Thykier, and her parents, the author and journalist Eve Pollard and the publisher Barry Winkleman. “Yes Claud,” wrote her Strictly Come Dancing co-host Tess Daly. The duo recently announced that they are stepping down from their roles, with this season’s Christmas special marking their final…

‘THIS IS WHAT FAMILY UNITS SHOULD BE LIKE. I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN’ Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen isn’t one for understatement, so perhaps it’s no surprise when he says that in his house, “every day is Christmas Day”. “The whole family gets together, literally, for drinky-poos on a daily basis,” he says. “So we don’t have that moment just before the King’s speech when everyone’s half a bottle in and really fighty, because we get [to do] that every day of the year.” The domestic arrangements of the Llewelyn-Bowen family are far from conventional – in the modern sense. For the past five years, Laurence and his wife, Jackie, both 60, have shared their colourful, eclectic and sprawling manor house in the Cotswolds with their two daughters, Cecile, 30,…

Bonnie Langford has done it all, from playing Madame Thénardier in Les Misérables in the West End to starring on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Now, more than 50 years after making her stage debut, the actress, 61, is adding another acclaimed production to her long list of theatre credits: Paddington the Musical. “You mention Paddington and everyone lights up, so to be involved with something that’s so beloved already is fantastic,” says Bonnie, speaking backstage at London’s Savoy Theatre, where the musical is enjoying a hugely popular run. The Surrey‑born star, known to many as Mel Bush in the BBC’s long‑running sci‑fi series Doctor Who, plays Mrs Bird in the new stage production, which is based on the characters from Michael Bond’s books. The story is inspired by…

“My very discerning 13‑year‑old has dropped several less‑than‑subtle hints that this is the product she’s hoping to unwrap this year. Although her make‑up routine currently only stretches to tinted lip balms and brow gels, I’m more than happy for her to add a little sparkle, and, in her words, ‘shine bright like a diamond’ over the festive season.” “My elder daughter, Delilah, has asked for this game so she can play it with her little sister, Annabel, who is loving Elf on the Shelf this year. This makes me so happy – there’s an eight‑year age gap between them, so it will be lovely to watch them playing it together and embracing the magic of Christmas. It’s put Delilah at the top of the nice list!” “It takes so much…

Emma Lewisham’s eponymous skincare brand is loved by actresses such as Margot Robbie and Naomi Watts. The collection has been praised for its efficacy and sustainability, with the Supernatural Vitale Elixir likened to “Botox in a bottle” for its smoothing powers. Before entering the beauty world in 2019, New Zealand‑based Emma worked in tech, pivoting to create her scientifically backed skincare range, which centres on her appreciation for carefully considered craftsmanship. ‘Luxury is the simple things in life. That’s what brings me the most joy. Quality time with my husband, daughter or close friends and returning home early for a cup of tea and losing myself in a good book. My favourite luxurious meal is always at The River Cafe in London. It’s my absolute favourite restaurant in the world, where…

‘I’M PROUD THAT BOTH MY GIRLS FEEL IMMENSE COMPASSION FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE’ If you were among the many Christmas shoppers near Somerset House in central London on a Sunday in December, you may have crossed paths with two rather special Big Issue vendors. Lady Frederick Windsor, also known as the actress Sophie Winkleman, and her daughter Isabella, nine, joined vendors to sell copies of the magazine, which supports homeless people. “Both my girls feel enraged that we live in a society where homelessness is accepted,” Sophie tells HELLO!, as we join her to take these exclusive photos. “How the hell is it OK to walk past someone sleeping in the street? No one should have to endure that pain and indignity – and the Big Issue is a family and…

At a star-studded event to launch his new TV project, Simon Cowell made sure he had his nearest and dearest by his side. The music mogul, 66, posed proudly for pictures with his glamorous fiancee, Lauren, to mark the release of Netflix’s documentary series The Next Act. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, were joined at the Ham Yard Hotel in London by their son Eric, 11, as well as some of their closest friends. Also on the guest list were Alesha Dixon, one of Simon’s co-stars on Britain’s Got Talent, the former Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli and the seven members of the boyband put together by Simon in his new show: Hendrik Christoffersen, Cruz Lee-Ojo, John Fadare, Nicolas Alves, Josh Olliver, Danny Bretherton and Sean Hayden.…

THE QUEEN The Queen welcomed Santa and his reindeer to Clarence House to join a group of children who were helping to decorate her Christmas tree. In what has become an annual tradition, Her Majesty hosted a tea party for seriously ill children who are being cared for by Helen & Douglas House and Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity. THE PRINCESS ROYAL The Princess Royal inspected officer cadets at the Sovereign’s Parade at Sandhurst as they passed out of the Royal Military Academy. Princess Anne, who was representing the King, wore a smart teal coat for the event, which came at the end of the cadets’ 44-week training course, as they were commissioned to the British and overseas armies. THE PRINCE OF WALES Prince William presented Adjoa Andoh with an…

Ask Sir Andy Murray about life in retirement and the former Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medallist doesn’t mention the adrenaline of match points or the adulation of the crowd. Instead, his focus is squarely on the school run. “My relationship with my children has got so much stronger over the past year because I’m with them every single day,” he says. “I’m very lucky that I’m in a position where I’m able to do that. I do all of the drop-offs and pick-ups and I’m there for all of the birthdays and school events. I love it.” Not everybody is quite so enamoured of the situation, though. His younger children might be enjoying his presence, but his eldest daughter, Sophia, “finds me embarrassing”, he says. “When I drop her…

Q I’m in my mid-fifties and newly divorced. I’ve been invited to a lot of Christmas parties this year and I’m nervous about attending alone. What should I do? FIRST OF ALL… SPARKLE ‘Well, you’re already on a winning streak with your multitude of invites. That means people want you to be there because they feel your presence will lend something positive to the festivities. Parties full of couples are never as much fun as those with a medley of singletons and randoms. I know I’m better company when I haven’t got my husband in tow, as I tend to make more of an effort. So take confidence from the fact that you’re there for your own attributes and set your sights on making sure you have fun. Walking into…

WHY SWITZERLAND? It could be a photo, a TikTok or a song that inspires your travels. For us, it was a moment. We wanted to “take a glass-domed train through mountains”, but didn’t know where to start. One famous option is the Rocky Mountaineer (rockymountaineer.com), a life-changing, snow-dusted trip through the Canadian Rockies, but it involves long-haul flights and seats quickly sell out. Then there’s the Santa Claus Express to Lapland (vr.fi/en/santa-claus-express), but we wanted a sophisticated, child-free escapade. You need look no further than Switzerland. Doable in a long weekend and less than two hours away by plane, it offers three of the world’s greatest train journeys (including Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe). Linking together, they enable you to see the whole country, from mountains to lakes.…
