DAVID’S FABULOUS 50 PRE-PARTY IS A FAMILY MATTER The impending 50th birthday of David Beckham was never going to be a small affair. So, to kick off the celebrations, the former footballer and his family enjoyed a party at Cipriani Downtown in Miami. David posed for a photograph with wife Victoria and their children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13. Also in the glamorous family snap are Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Cruz’s date Jackie Apostel. The soiree, held ahead of his landmark birthday on 2 May, was attended by former NFL star Tom Brady, comic Jack Whitehall and legendary footballer Lionel Messi, who plays for David’s Inter Miami team, plus Fisher Stevens, director of hit Netflix documentary Beckham. “So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early,” the former…

Scents of adventure Hair perfume is one of the fastest-growing categories in the flourishing global fragrance industry, and we predict that these shine-boosting minis from viral sensation Gisou (Wildflower Honey, Lavender Berry and Wild Rose, all right, £19 each, visit uk.gisou.com) will be a firm fixture in handbags and beach bags this summer. The brainchild of Dutch influencer Negin Mirsalehi, the brand centres around the beautifying properties of sustainably harvested honey and propolis from her family’s bee garden outside Amsterdam. Brush up Some struggles only those with long hair will appreciate; namely, the shudder when a hairbrush collides with a tangle. Although celebrities such as Demi Moore have helped us buck the trend for the obligatory midlife chop, the reality is that our hair becomes less resilient with age. Enter…

Against a backdrop of blue sky, fields and a lake, David Beckham looks every inch the country gentleman in a tweed jacket and flat cap as he poses alongside his four canine companions. “A few serious faces this morning but it’s like trying to get all 4 kids together and smile all at the same time,” he says, sharing the picture of him and his pack with his 87.9 million followers on Instagram. Since buying a £12m converted barn in the Cotswolds, the 49-year-old former England footballer has shared a number of images showing him with his cocker spaniels Olive, ten, Fig, seven, and Sage, six, as well as three-year-old cockapoo Simba. The Beckhams have long been dog lovers. David and Victoria welcomed their first pets, rottweilers Puffy and Snoop,…

When it comes to British animal lovers, the royal family leads the pack. A love of pets has spanned the generations since Queen Victoria’s son Prince Leopold became the first British royal to house a rescue dog when he rehomed a fox terrier named Skippy from Battersea Dogs Home in 1882. Among modern-day royals, Queen Elizabeth II set the standard as a devoted pet owner, passing on a passion for animals to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her first corgi, Susan – an 18th birthday present from her father George VI in 1944 – ignited her love of the small Welsh dog breed that would go on to become a mainstay at Buckingham Palace and later Royal Lodge and Windsor Castle. Elizabeth, who couldn’t bear to part with her corgis,…

At 31, singer and actress Sofia Carson has ticked off items on her wish list that many of us can only dream of: performing at the Oscars, starring in Disney’s Descendants, touring with Andrea Bocelli and a No. 1 album… But it’s The Life List – a new Netflix romcom based on Lori Nelson Spielman’s novel about Alex, a woman on a quest to complete her childhood bucket list – that allowed Florida-born Sofia to tap into the teenage self she had long forgotten. Starring alongside The White Lotus actress Connie Britton, who plays her mother, Sofia found the role an enlightening one. “I think it reconnected me to that fearless dreamer who was 13, dreaming that she could do anything,” she tells us. She may be known for her…

When internationally renowned DJ Fat Tony greets HELLO! at the door of his garden flat in London’s stylish Pimlico, his adorable red cavapoo Reenie Taylor joins in with an enthusiastic bark. “Everyone says she’s very much like me. It’s quite funny,” Tony says with a smile. “She has a real attitude problem. But I keep putting it down to her being two.” Then, as we sink into each side of an comfortable velvet sofa, Reenie sits between us. “She’s a little joy, a bundle,” her proud owner adds. “She gets called a lot of things, but Boo Boo’s the main one, because she’s my little Boo Boo.” Tony – born Anthony Marnach – rose to fame on London’s club scene in the 1980s and became best friends with Boy George…

It is arguably one of the most challenging periods the Duke of Sussex has faced since his departure from the UK. Left “reeling” by the extraordinary dispute that led to his resignation from Sentebale, the charity he founded in memory of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, Prince Harry now faces a battle for his security in the UK. His lawyers return to the Court of Appeal this week in an attempt to have the protection arrangements he enjoyed as a working royal reinstated to cover him when he is in the country. And the outcome could prove to be a make-or-break moment for the Duke’s future plans. Meanwhile, on the same day his case opens, his wife the Duchess will launch a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.…

Candlelight glows softly in the birthday girl’s face and her eyes twinkle with excitement as she perches on a table filled with friends for her celebratory meal. The venue for this special occasion is an exclusive dining room at private members’ club Upstairs at Langan’s – one of her regular haunts – and tonight’s dinner includes steak tartare, bangers and mash and blood orange cheesecake. But Patch, as she is known, is having none of it. Her nose twitching in anticipation, she eagerly tucks into a plateful of crudités instead. For Patch is a four-year-old guinea pig, and a philanthropic one at that. Together with her owner, Imogen Mitchell, she is fundraising for a cause close to their hearts: Kavee Rescue, a safe haven on the Isle of Wight for…

Halle Berry GET THE LOOK Halle Berry looked radiant at the Oscars last month: with an on-trend cropped bob and perfectly hydrated skin, she gave us all a lesson in spring glam. But the 58-year-old mother of two places little value on her appearance, saying: “I’ve always known that I’ve been more than this face and this body, so when that starts to go, maybe – for the first time in my life – people will focus on the other aspects of me that I think are way more interesting.”…

In a career spanning three decades, Rankin has photographed some of the world’s most famous faces, including Madonna, Kate Moss, Barack Obama, the King and Queen Elizabeth II. The photographer shares his homes in North London and Suffolk with his wife, Tuuli Shipster, and their four beloved rescue dogs: whippet Beans, whippet-cross Squidge, “mutt” Mavrix and miniature pinscher-chihuahua cross Bandit. Rankin, what does a luxury night out look like to you? “If you have dogs like ours, their favourite thing is for all of us to lie on the sofa and not move. Then, just before we go to bed, we go out for that last exciting walk, where they might see or hear a fox – for that last little thrill of the day.” What’s your favourite luxury meal?…
