He was the godfather of fashion whose creative genius made him one of the most influential designers of the 20th and 21st centuries, and last week Karl Lagerfeld left the fashion industry in shock and the world a less colourful place when he passed away at the age of 85. It is understood he had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. For more than six decades he had blazed a stylish trail, the last 35 years of which he spent as creative director of French fashion house Chanel, which he transformed into the £6.1bn luxury brand it is today. An imaginative visionary, artist and photographer, Karl quickly established himself as a personality in his own right. Cultivating the appearance of a gothic dandy, with powdered hair, winged collars, black leather gloves…

GISELE BUNDCHEN AND TOM BRADY STYLISH TOUCHDOWN IN L.A. She may have looked like a Grecian goddess in white, but it was her green credentials that saw Gisele Bündchen being praised in Los Angeles last week. The goodwill ambassador for the UN Environment Programme was a vision in Stella McCartney as she was honoured for her environmental activism at the Hollywood for Science gala. She was joined (left) by husband Tom Brady, who told reporters how proud he was. “She’s inspiring to me in so many ways,” he said. The couple were back from enjoying a break in their own favourite environment, Costa Rica, following American footballer Tom’s sixth Super Bowl win. After quarter-time and halftime, it was definitely family time for the sports star, who was spotted surfing and…

When CBeebies approached me about reading bedtime stories including the wonderful Two Dads [written by Carolyn Robertson and illustrated by Sophie Humphreys] I knew I wanted to get involved immediately. I love kids and I really understand them, and I have a huge empathy with children, so it was a no-brainer. I love this book about a little boy who has two dads and children’s books are one of the first ways we learn about the world around us, and my broadcast went out during LGBT history month this February. One in eight adoptions in this country are now by same-sex couples and being different – or what’s perceived to be different – doesn’t have to be scary. Inclusivity must start at the youngest age possible – why would it…

The Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex are to divide their royal household ahead of the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child in the spring. A report in The Sunday Times says the separation will see the brothers’ staff create separate offices, reflecting the increasingly different responsibilities of Prince William, the future King, and his younger brother Prince Harry. After ten years of operating a shared household, the break has been viewed as a logical conclusion of Harry and Meghan’s move to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. The couple have been living in Kensington Palace’s grounds, as have William and Kate, but the transfer to the royal estate in Windsor is seen to be a chance for the Sussexes to bring up their child away from the glare…

SMELL OF SUCCESS AT PERFUME LAUNCH Spring was in the air last week as Dior launched its new perfume collection Maison Christian Dior at 38 Grosvenor Square in London’s Mayfair. Models Leomie Anderson and Neelam Gill were among the guests at the London Fashion Week event, where flowers carpeted the walls and pink peonies cascaded from the ceiling like a waterfall. Model Maddi Waterhouse echoed the floral theme in a Shrimps daffodil-print dress, while actress Laura Pradelska stunned in a statement yellow suit. FIZZ WITH BUBBLE AT SHOE SHOW Well-heeled stars of the London fashion world celebrated blogger Susie Bubble’s appointment as the face of shoe brand Kurt Geiger’s Characterful Style campaign. Susie brought her quirky flair to the bash at Annabel’s Mayfair, where blooms from Flowerbx decorated the room.…

She later shared her thoughts on VB’s second London show with her Instagram followers, simply calling it “beautiful”.…

As she juggles preparing for the long-awaited Spice Girls reunion tour with being a busy mum to her 12-year-old daughter Bluebell and toddler son Monty, Geri Horner knows that time is precious. So the singer and presenter will only commit her time to projects that she believes are truly worth it – and TV talent show All Together Now fits that bill. “I’m 46 and what I’ve learnt is the most precious thing we can give each other is our time,” she says. “We have no guarantees how long we’re going to be on this planet. I’m a mum, I love being home with my children, so if I am going to give myself to something I want it to be worth it. I just feel like this show is…

‘I love what I do. I go to bed at night thinking about clothes’ As Victoria Beckham sashayed down the runway to take a bow after showing her new collection at London Fashion Week, the front row was packed with her greatest fans – husband David, 43, and their four children. From their smiles, her brood – Brooklyn, 19, accompanied by girlfriend Hana Cross, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 14, and seven-year-old Harper – who was sporting a cute bob similar to Vogue editor-in-chief Dame Anna Wintour’s – was bursting with pride. This year there are two milestones for team Beckham to celebrate: Victoria’s decade as a designer and, on 4 July, her 20th wedding anniversary with ex-England footballer David. How will the couple spend their big day? “We’ll probably celebrate with…

Like many other Britons last week, the Earl and Countess of Wessex made the most of the half-term break, heading for the slopes in St Moritz with their two children, Lady Louise, 15, and 11-year-old Viscount Severn. The family have been visiting the exclusive Swiss resort for several years and this time Sophie and her teenage daughter cut a dash in their co-ordinating outfits. The Wessex ladies dressed for action in white ski trousers and dark blue jackets, with helmets and goggles. Prince Edward and James completed the patriotic palette in red jackets. There were standards to keep up of course. The glamorous ski enclave is a favourite with the glitterati, including John Travolta and Elizabeth Hurley, although the royals tend to keep a low profile when they are there.…

When actor Darren Criss picked up an Emmy for his role in mini-series The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, he praised his wife-to-be with the words: “My darling Mia, you roll the windows down and pump the music up in my life.” His words set the scene for the couple’s ultra-cool wedding on 16 February in New Orleans witnessed by many of his former Glee co-stars, led by soon-to-be-wed Lea Michele. In a white tuxedo with a matching bow-tie and black patent leather shoes, Darren, 32, looked perfectly in tune with his new bride, writer-producer Mia Swier, who chose a strapless white gown with a corset bodice and full tulle skirt. After the ceremony, the couple were in high spirits as they rode off in a Rolls-Royce convertible.…

KHLOE KARDASHIAN Splits from baby’s father Reality star Khloe Kardashian and her basketball player boyfriend Tristan Thompson have split.

Almost three months after she was crowned winner of The Apprentice in front of a TV audience of more than six million, Sian Gabbidon’s elation at hearing: “You’re hired!” from business tycoon Lord Sugar is still sinking in. “Even now I can’t quite believe it,” says the 26-year-old swimwear designer as she invites HELLO! to the stylish apartment in her home city of Leeds that she shares with her property entrepreneur partner Clint Gordon. “When I was on the show, there was still a part of me that was thinking: Am I really on The Apprentice?’ So to go on and win was overwhelming.” Now with a £250,000 investment for her business, Sian says her partnership with Lord Sugar could hardly be sweeter. “As a role model, I’ve always put…

HELLO!’s fashion editor Rachel Story (inset below) was one of just 400 guests invited to the show. She writes: “It was one of the most eagerly anticipated London Fashion Week shows as Victoria Beckham showed for the second time in the capital. “As I queued to take my seat at Tate Britain, the atmosphere among the fashion crowd was electric. “Inside the venue the energy ramped up even more as the soundtrack, including Dua Lipa’s Electricity, kicked in and models strutted in figure-flattering silhouettes. “For autumn/winter 2019, Victoria said she’d been thinking about what women want and how to curate that into this collection – and boy, did it show. “The clothes draped in all the right places and moved with a mesmerising fluidity. The bright, bold colour palette included…

Growing up with Frank Sinatra as her grandfather, you’d think AJ Lambert would have the pedigree and confidence to start a singing career. Yet it’s taken her four decades to pursue her dream. “It took me a while to feel comfortable enough to say that I’m a singer from this family,” she says. “Put it this way – I’m 44 years old, so take from that what you will.” AJ – Angela Jennifer – is the eldest child of Frank’s famous daughter, Nancy, and has just released her debut album, Careful You, after years of playing the bass in bands. The ten-track album of covers, which includes two Sinatra classics – Sleep Warm and I’ll Be Seeing You – has so far avoided comparison with her mum or Ol’ Blue…

Although a household name and on her way to superstar status, model Gigi Hadid is rarely seen at London Fashion Week. But this year she made a surprise appearance with her debut on the Burberry catwalk, modelling Riccardo Tisci’s autumn/winter 2019 collection for the quintessential British brand. With her blonde hair slicked back and styled into an intricate pattern above her bleached eyebrows, the 23-year-old Californian was almost unrecognisable in her stark monochrome polo dress under a zip-front top with statement sleeves. To match the 1990s street and club-style influence, the outfit was finished with a pair of leather boots, while Gigi carried a puffer coat and matching backpack. Joining her on the catwalk at the Tate Modern was Bradley Cooper’s partner Irina Shayk, who rocked one of the label’s…
