‘MY WORK IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN HUMANITY, NOURISHED BY THE PLACES THAT SHAPE US AND THE BONDS THAT UNITE US’Nicolas Parisian artist Nicolas Lefebvre’s apartment on the banks of the Seine would be a dream home for anyone with his vocation. High up in a charming 19th-century building close to the Île Saint-Louis, spacious and south-facing, it simply invites creativity. But for Nicolas, most inspiring of all is the company there of his beloved daughter. When choosing a home for himself and 15-year-old Anahi, his first thought was for their family life. And here, it can run as smoothly as the river itself, because everything is to hand. Nicolas’s studio is downstairs in the courtyard, while Anahi’s school is on the same street. “We’ve been here for five years now,…

Over a career spanning 45 years, Fern Britton has cemented herself as one of the greats of British daytime TV. At the peak of her decade-long stint hosting ITV’s This Morning – from 1999 to 2009 – the show averaged more than one million viewers. And yet Fern has never felt more content than she does right now. Speaking about life in her 60s in this exclusive interview, the broadcaster and author, 67, tells HELLO!: “It’s really rather wonderful; nothing to be frightened of. I like being at ease with myself. I would say to people coming up to their 60s: ‘Hold on, because you’re going to be surprised by how good it is.’” Fern’s other career as a best-selling author of ten novels has also brought her immense joy.…

It’s one of the most glamorous nights of the year, and last week’s Summer Exhibition party at the Royal Academy of Arts certainly lived up to its reputation. A dazzling line-up of celebrities turned out for the glittering event, held to celebrate the world’s largest open-submission contemporary art show, which has been staged every year since 1769. Among those who posed outside the gallery in central London were beauty mogul Trinny Woodall, model and presenter Alexa Chung, model Jerry Hall, artist Sir Grayson Perry, Amelia Windsor, the Marchioness of Bath and the evening’s co-hosts, actress Helena Bonham Carter and DJ and presenter Clara Amfo. Clara showed off her fashion flair in a one-shouldered chocolate brown dress, paired with orange tasselled heels, while Trinny and Helena brought along their lookalike daughters.…

Making a passionate plea to global leaders to “think big” to save our oceans, the Prince of Wales once again showed his growing influence on the world stage. The heir to the throne made his opening and closing remarks in French as he called for urgent action to protect the seas at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco. In a landmark speech, Prince William warned that the “clock is ticking” to meet the UN’s target to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and sea by 2030. “Rising sea temperatures, plastic pollution and overfishing are putting pressure on these fragile ecosystems and on the people and communities who depend most upon them,” he said. “What once seemed an abundant resource is diminishing before our eyes. We all…

The actress and businesswoman posted a picture on Instagram of herself posing nude in a sunlit field as she celebrated turning 60 last week, captioning the shot with the words: “Happy birthday to me! “This year has already been a wild ride; my 30th year of working with the Estee Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, the 20th anniversary of @elizabethhurleybeach and … I’m in love. “Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world.

Hero products include Moon Swim Body Wash, Sunday Sofa Body Butter and Confetti Sky Hand Treatment, and the line features colourful packaging and a deliciously nostalgic scent.

The staff are so attentive and the food is top-notch. Or a family lunch or dinner at Nobu. We’ve been going for many years and it’s a meal I always look forward to, for the company as much as the food. My biggest luxury indulgence…

In front of an A-list audience that included George Clooney, and in a glittering custom red Rodarte gown with jewellery by Fred Leighton that, she said, “immediately made me feel like Elizabeth Taylor”, Nicole Scherzinger was the dazzling image of a Broadway leading lady as she won her first Tony Award at New York’s Radio City Music Hall last week. The pop star turned musical-theatre powerhouse was named Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Norma Desmond, which she described as her “dream role”, in the reboot of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard. The win is the culmination of a glittering trajectory that began when the former Pussycat Doll took on the role at the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End in 2023, winning rave reviews and…

The Duke of Sussex relived one of his happiest childhood memories when he took his children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on a fun-filled trip to Disneyland. He and the Duchess treated the youngsters to a magical adventure to celebrate Lilibet’s fourth birthday – just as Harry and his brother William had visited a Disney resort with their mother Princess Diana, when they were small boys. “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy,” Meghan wrote on Instagram, alongside a montage of photos and video footage showing the family, wearing Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears, enjoying rides at the theme park in Anaheim, California. Lilibet, who was presented with a Little Mermaid-themed two-tier birthday cake, was treated to a one-to-one encounter with Frozen character Elsa, as…

The Princess of Wales went behind the scenes last week at a new museum that enables visitors to order objects from its storage spaces – “like an Uber” – and view them close up. Kate was visiting the new V&A East Storehouse in Stratford, London, to learn about its “order an object” system, whereby paintings, furniture, books and sculptures dating back centuries can be requested for closer inspection. The Princess, who is patron of the V&A, mingled with fellow art lovers and ordered objects from the collection, including a sample book by textiles designer William Morris, a musical instrument and objects themed around nature. ART FOR ALL “What a fantastic idea to have all these pieces to learn from. What an opportunity for everyone to see these historic pieces, so…

‘MY FATHER WOULD BE SO SHOCKED IF HE KNEW I WAS AN AUTHOR. I AM VERY PROUD OF MYSELF’ Driving up to Jo Wood’s off-grid farmhouse means leaving behind the hustle and bustle for a quiet and peaceful idyll. HELLO! is greeted by the calming sounds of sheep bleating and birds singing as we arrive for our exclusive photoshoot and interview with the entrepreneur and author. Get closer to the honey-coloured grade II-listed main house, though, and another sound cuts through the atmosphere: the trademark laughter of a woman who’s living her best life. With her blonde hair gleaming in the sunshine, and wearing a series of vintage gowns that perfectly illustrate her fashion and rock’n’roll background, Jo is celebrating her latest achievement: that of published fiction author.

ANALOGUE WELLNESS Our current obsession with longevity has seen us squishing ourselves into hyperbaric chambers and reclining in photobiomodulation beds, and yet the top wellness trend for this year is quite the opposite of high-tech health optimisation, according to the Global Wellness Institute. Dubbed “analogue wellness”, the trend is about a more gentle, community-focused form of wellness. More than a “digital detox”, it’s about using time offline in an intentional way, whether that’s satisfying your inner David Hockney with a Vibe’n’Paint session, complete with live DJs (artplay.co.uk), sweating out toxins en masse in Peckham’s social sauna club (saunasocialclub.co.uk) or activating “communal euphoria” at one of cult Dutch movement Sanctum’s Frequency festivals (wearesanctum.com). Sleep like a baby In a world where most of us aren’t getting enough of it, sleep has…

Charlotte Spencer is feeling lucky. The Essex-born actress is starring in season two of The Gold, the BBC drama about the 1983 Brink’s-Mat robbery, which premiered in 2023 to rave reviews, and says that sharing the screen with Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville and Slow Horses star Jack Lowden is a “pinch-me moment”. The 33-year-old actress landed her first major film role in Tim Burton’s 2012 fantasy film Dark Shadows alongside Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. She talks to HELLO! from her Hertfordshire home during a break from filming the TV thriller, Apollo Has Fallen – the latest in Gerard Butler’s Has Fallen franchise. Charlotte doesn’t come from an acting background: her father is a builder and her mother works in a school. Her parents remortgaged their house to send…

There were plenty of fashion highlights at the Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City last weekend, but Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, who hosted the event, topped the best-dressed lists everywhere, wearing a show-stopping ten outfits on the night. One of the most resplendent entries in her sartorial portfolio was a Schiaparelli outfit in pink with a diamond-covered corset top and a sleek textured skirt. But it was not only her ensembles that won praise. Cynthia, who will soon step out on the press tour for Wicked: For Good, also delighted fans with her opening number, Sometimes All You Need Is a Song. It is nine years since the star, 38, accepted her first Tony award, for her role as Celie in The Color Purple, in…

FASHION IS BABY BLUE IN THE BRITISH CAPITAL All eyes were on Sydney Sweeney at the London premiere of thriller Echo Valley last week. Wearing a cascading pale blue Miu Miu gown, the newly single actress, who recently split from her fiancé, producer Jonathan Davino, was joined on the red carpet by Hollywood star Julianne Moore, 64, who plays her mother in the new film. The White Lotus star Sydney, 27, completed her look with an array of glittering silver jewellery. And her role in the new psychological thriller couldn’t have been more different from her sophisticated appearance at the premiere. Recalling one of her scenes with Julianne, she said: “I remember after one of my first takes, when I was screaming at her, I said: ‘I’m so sorry, I’m…

THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH The King came to the rescue of the Duchess of Edinburgh when she had a “Cinderella moment” as she curtsied for him. Sophie almost stepped out of her tan wedge shoe during the deep curtsy, at which point her brother-in-law extended a hand and appeared to steady her. The pair, who were at the Royal Windsor Flower Show in Great Windsor Park, were seen laughing together after the shared moment. PRINCE OF WALES The Prince of Wales visited peatland in Devon to launch a new Landscape Vision for Dartmoor, a 20-year roadmap to restore and protect the area. “For me it’s about the impact: I want to see stuff actually happen,” said Prince William. “We’ve done the talking – we’ve put the vision together, the design…

With the exciting return of Royal Ascot in all its glorious pageantry this week, former jockey Megan Nicholls is preparing to stand on the “other side of the hedge” as a part of ITV Racing’s presenting line-up. “It’s like racing’s Met Gala,” she says with a smile in this exclusive interview with HELLO!. “I’m very lucky.” The flat racing meeting has always been important to the royal family and it was a firm favourite of Queen Elizabeth II – as Megan can attest. One of the unforgettable highlights of her life was the day Her Majesty visited her father, champion trainer Paul Nicholls, at his racing yard in Somerset in 2019. ROYAL APPROVAL Paul is a renowned jump racing trainer with thousands of winners to his name but the Queen,…

EXPLORE Antigua is a jewel in the Caribbean crown, offering beauty and excitement paired with history and prestige. One highlight is Nelson’s Dockyard, a Unesco World Heritage Site with the world’s only continuously working Georgian-era dockyard, a museum, a national park and a marina that all constitute essential viewing. It’s best seen on a tour, such as the Rum in the Ruins experience, which includes a lesson in history and archaeology – with cocktails thrown in for good measure, naturally. Travellers with a spring in their step will be pleased to learn that Antigua has some fabulous hiking routes; set off solo to explore the luscious green hills or join a guide to see the best sights. Meanwhile, a zipline through the rainforest might be just the ticket for an…
