Innholdsfortegnelse for 1898 i HELLO! magazine

Welcome to our summer Luxe issue, where we are celebrating the season in all its glory. This is the second of our four Luxe issues this year, which serve up everything you love about HELLO! – with even more decadence, royals and glamour. Our cover star is the achingly chic Olivia Palermo, who found fame in MTV’s The City and became the poster girl for elegant influencers. The HELLO! team brings you the inside track on all of the season’s top-tier events, such as the glittering Serpentine Summer Party, including an exclusive interview with rock royalty Kelly Osbourne, as well the premiere of F1: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt. Opera singer Pretty Yende, who is currently singing the title role in Handel’s Semele at the Royal Opera House, joins us…

‘You know the summer’s started when it’s the Serpentine,” smiled Lady Kitty Spencer, elegant in an Alta Moda dress amid the glamorous crowd that flocked to London’s Kensington Gardens for one of the society events of the season, the Serpentine Summer Party. HELLO! was there too, as the annual event marked the 25th anniversary of the Serpentine Pavilion, which has been designed this year by the Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. The party’s co-host, Cate Blanchett, looked striking in an oceanic design featuring a seashell-encrusted bodice by Dilara Findikoglu as she caught up with Bianca Jagger, who was sophisticated in a white suit. Plenty of the award-winning Australian actress’s fellow countrywomen were assembled in support: Isla Fisher was spotted deep in conversation with Alicia Vikander, who will appear on the London…

AJ DAZZLES AS WEDDING BELLS RING Congratulations are in order for AJ Odudu after the TV presenter announced her engagement by posting a number of images on social media that showed her wearing a glittering diamond ring. The star, 37, revealed the news on Instagram, posting photos of herself with her new fiancé, whose name she has yet to reveal. The announcement marks the first time that AJ has shown her partner’s face publicly. “Hiya love,” she wrote, uploading a series of Polaroid-style black-and-white snaps that showed the pair embracing and laughing with joy. Celebrity friends were quick to shower her with good wishes on social media. “Awww buzzing for ya AJ!! Huge congratulations,” wrote the singer Olly Murs, while the presenter Ben Shephard added: “Wonderful news!!” LIFE’S LOOKING ROSY…

Wearing an ornate beaded necklace – a gift from Kleber Karipuna, the leader of the Karipuna people from Amapa, Brazil – the Prince of Wales showed his support for indigenous communities at an event convened by his Earthshot Prize and United for Wildlife organisations at St James’s Palace. William addressed environmental innovators, community leaders and ministers, calling for “greater ambition and deeper collaboration” to tackle the global climate crisis ahead of the COP30 summit in Brazil, which comes days after the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro on 5 November. His plea came during London Climate Action Week, when the Prince also attended an Earthshot Prize and Bloomberg Leading with Impact session to showcase the winners and finalists of his £50m, decade-long environmental…

It’s a testament to her genes and rigorous wellness routine that Olivia Palermo looks exactly as she did when we first met 15 years ago, at a Valentino dinner during Paris haute couture week. Bright-skinned, doe-eyed and sunny of disposition, she has a childlike quality to her, and in person she’s relaxed and friendly, throwing herself into our shoot with enthusiasm – not batting an eyelid as she strides confidently into the middle of a four-lane street to nail a shot and stopping traffic as car horns honk around her. “I really love being a model,” she smiles when we settle down to talk. “I love being on set and shooting. It’s part of my foundation from when I started my career, and I love working with new photographers, production…

The South African operatic soprano Pretty Yende has graced the world’s greatest stages, from the Metropolitan Opera in New York to the Opéra Bastille in Paris and the Vienna State Opera. Currently singing the title role in Handel’s Semele at London’s Royal Opera House, she joins HELLO! for this exclusive interview and photoshoot. Softly spoken and with a lyrical tone to her voice that draws you in as she reflects on what she calls a “fairytale journey”, Pretty, 40, describes her voice as a gift that has taken her around the world and shaped the course of her life. “The connections I’ve made and the growth I’ve experienced, as a person and as an artist, are all thanks to the music that carried me from rural South Africa to the…

Jeremy Allen White burst on to our screens in 2022 as fiery Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in Emmy Award-winning comedy drama series The Bear. The US actor plays a passionate Michelin-starred chef in pursuit of culinary excellence, and now the 34-year-old father of two daughters has become an unlikely heartthrob off-screen. Ahead of series four of the show, for which he has won three consecutive Golden Globe Awards and two Primetime Emmys, the star says that playing a passionate chef means he has a deeper appreciation of the restaurant experience – although he admits that it feels “overwhelming” if staff give him special treatment when he dines out. The actor has previously portrayed heavyweight wrestler Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw and Jessie Buckley’s love interest in TV sci-fi romance…

Elevating fragrance to the status of a work of art feels like a very modern ploy to tap into our collective fatigue for mass-produced “eau de celebrity” and our quest for scents that are uniquely ours (on TikTok, the #gatekeepfragrance hashtag has had tens of millions of views). But fragrance and art have long been intertwined, and collaborations (before the term “collab” even entered the vernacular) go way back. The worlds of art and fragrance collided spectacularly in 1946, when Elsa Schiaparelli commissioned Salvador Dalí to design the bottle for her Le Roi Soleil fragrance. But it was René Lalique – one of the most influential artists in glass-making of the art nouveau and art deco movements – who really nailed the creative melding of art and fragrance. Apt, then,…

STAY Tucked away on the tip of Giudecca Island, Hotel Cipriani is the kind of Venetian hideaway that feels like stepping on to a film set. With sweeping 270-degree views stretching from the Doge’s Palace to the church of San Giorgio and the islands beyond, it’s hard to find anywhere more cinematic. The hotel’s newly unveiled Serenissima and Laguna Signature Suites, reimagined by the architect Peter Marino, blend 18th-century grandeur with bold, modern flourishes. Alternatively, guests can opt for the Dogaressa Suite, where Canaletto-worthy views of St Mark’s Square fill every window. Stroll through fragrant gardens, cool off with a dip in the near-Olympic-sized pool or simply watch the city shimmer across the water. EAT Whether it’s a Bellini at Cip’s Club, an al fresco lunch of crab linguine by…

When HELLO! joins Kelly Osbourne in her suite at London’s exclusive Dorchester Hotel, she’s wrapped in a white robe and positively glowing as she gets ready for the Serpentine Gallery’s annual summer party, one of the society events of the year. “People aren’t used to seeing this version of me. It’s almost as if they don’t like it,” says the glamorous daughter of the rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon. As she slips into a gown by the fashion designer and royal favourite Rebecca Vallance, her long blonde hair flowing around her shoulders, it’s hard to believe that Kelly feels nervous about the evening ahead, worried that people will scrutinise her appearance. Kelly, who shot to fame in the reality show The Osbournes when she was just 17…

Belvoir Castle, her magnificent family seat, proved the perfect backdrop for the society wedding of the year as Lady Violet Manners tied the knot with William James Lindesay-Bethune, Viscount Garnock. The wedding unites two of Britain’s most prominent aristocratic families; the groom, 34, who wore a kilt in the Lindsay family tartan, is the son and heir of the 16th Earl and Countess of Lindsay. Featuring a cannon salute, a banquet in one of the castle’s grand halls and a raucous party in the “basement”, which was transformed into a nightclub for the occasion, the wedding was a celebration to remember for guests including Princess Alexandra’s granddaughter Flora Vesterberg and her husband Timothy. Also present were Sabrina Percy, a relative of the Duke of Northumberland; Hum Fleming, the great-niece of…

BEAUTY SLEEP “I’m a huge K-beauty fan, and lots of products from Laneige can be found on my bedside table and in my handbag. I adore this new addition to its lip mask line-up, as it has the same signature buttery texture in a mouth-watering flavour.” SHEER STATEMENT “I can’t get enough of this sheer lipstick, which gives me Carrie Bradshaw vibes. The glossy balm is fragrance-free, glides on effortlessly and has the chameleon-like ability to flatter all skin tones yet look different on every pout.” DOSE OF DECADENCE “This body cream from cult brand Sol de Janeiro is pure indulgence. The limited-edition scent, which smells like caramelised vanilla drizzled over toasted macadamia nuts, lasts all day, while the vitamin-rich formula is ultra-absorbent and illuminates the skin.” Subject to availability.…

Ballads have been dedicated to it and poems penned in its honour: there’s just something about the Californian sun that has seeped into our collective psyches. Nowhere else in the world has daylight been quite so rhapsodised. Los Angeles may be the city of lights but it’s not the flicker of neon, the flare of klieg lights or the dazzle of mirror bulbs that has us hankering after the Golden State. It’s the sun – that Goldilocks alchemy of nature that’s neither too hot nor too cool. Even the smog lends a flattering sepia-toned filter. It’s this serendipitous synchronism of light that inspired master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud to compose Sun Song, a solar scent in ode to Californian summers. His 2019 olfactive hit is being brought back to join his…

Looking chic in a British racing green suit, Brad Pitt stepped out on the red carpet in London’s Leicester Square with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon for the European premiere of F1: The Movie. The Hollywood star, who accessorised his smart outfit with a fetching green cravat and sunglasses, was all smiles as he was joined by a host of celebrities, including Tom Cruise, the supermodel Naomi Campbell, the Bridgerton actress Simone Ashley and the former F1 world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton, who is one of the producers of the film. Brad, 61, plays New York taxi driver Sonny Hayes, a former racing driver who is persuaded to come out of retirement to mentor a younger driver, played by Peckham-born Damson Idris. The Spanish actor Javier Bardem also stars as…

‘BURBERRY IS CLASS PERSONIFIED. THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY–PEOPLE WITH CLASS TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT’Elizabeth As Downton Abbey fans eagerly anticipate the third film adaptation of the period drama this September, two of its stars, Elizabeth McGovern and Laura Carmichael, have reunited for another quintessentially British project: modelling pieces from the Highgrove x Burberry fashion line. Elizabeth, 63, and Laura, 38, who play the glamorous aristocrats Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham and Lady Edith Crawley in the show, had a ball showcasing the designs alongside Mr Malcolm’s List actor Sopé Dìrísù in the stunning gardens of the King and Queen’s country home in Gloucestershire. “I loved it,” American star Elizabeth exclusively tells HELLO!. “I liked hanging out with models and seeing Laura Carmichael radiant in her Burberry dress.…

Joely Richardson’s mother, the renowned actress Vanessa Redgrave, once gave her some acting advice that she holds dear to this day: “Stay forever a student.” “It’s a life lesson, really,” Joely tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “Never think you know the answers, be open and you’ll learn something new every day. Another expression is: ‘Be of service.’” We’re speaking to Joely, 60, as she takes part in a voluntary initiative in Kent with Save the Children; she has worked as an ambassador for the charity since 2012. “This is something I do out of passion and a love of community,” she says as she meets youngsters taking part in an allotment project supported by the organisation in a socially deprived area of Margate. “One of the first things I…

LORO PIANA Established in 1924 in northern Piedmont, Italy – home to generations of shepherds who lived simply, spinning and selling wool from their sheep – this quiet luxury brand has gradually been making more noise. LVMH acquired a majority stake in the Italian heritage house in 2013, and it has since expanded into leather goods and modernised its image. Among its high-profile fans are Gigi Hadid, Sofia Richie Grainge, Dakota Johnson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Emma Stone. However, the brand, which has been handed down through five generations, hasn’t compromised its core values. For Loro Piana, everything starts with the fabric. From the under fleece of Capra hircus goats in Mongolia to the rare vicuna fibre sourced from the Peruvian Andes, every material is chosen for its quality and performance.…

What do Victoria Beckham, Karlie Kloss and the Delevingne sisters have in common? Apart from stellar careers, covetable wardrobes and homes we can only dream of, the stars have all checked into Lanserhof, the sought-after medical spa retreat. With outposts in Austria’s mountainous Lans, Germany’s Lake Tegernsee and the country’s coastal island of Sylt, Lanserhof was banging the drum for longevity long before it was the wellness word on everyone’s lips. “Longevity is a hot topic because it empowers us to take control of our risk of developing diseases of ageing through medical and lifestyle interventions before we become sick,” says Dr Philip Borg, founder of The Longevity Doctor, London’s only clinic led by an American board-certified anti-ageing specialist. Lanserhof’s approach to longevity helps clients cheat the passing of time…

BEEFBAR, PARIS Located on the site of the former gourmet restaurant La Fermette Marbeuf, which was founded in 1898, Beefbar is a visual celebration of art deco and art nouveau, designed by the architects Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet.
