‘I GET PEOPLE DOING MY ELPHABA WAR CRY AT ME IN THE STREET. I LOVE IT’ After finding worldwide fame playing the witch Elphaba Thropp in the multiple award-winning film Wicked, Cynthia Erivo is now reprising her role in the movie’s much anticipated sequel, Wicked: For Good. The British actress and singer stars alongside the singer Ariana Grande, who plays Glinda in this prequel to the story of the Wizard of Oz. Here, Cynthia, 38, discusses her close bond with her co-star, how Wicked changed her life and the possibility of adding an Academy Award to her haul of accolades. Cynthia, what is it like to experience so much love from fans of Wicked? “It’s overwhelming. To hear people express what Wicked means to them, what our movie and the…

THE QUEEN The Queen hosted a reception for English National Ballet’s 75th anniversary at Buckingham Palace, where lead principal ballerina Sangeun Lee performed The Dying Swan. Her Majesty, who is a patron of English National Ballet and a member of the seniors dance group Silver Swans, chose a dress by Anna Valentine for the event. She received a pair of pointe shoes as a gift and joked that she would outperform the dancers. PRINCESS BEATRICE Princess Beatrice visited the Borne research laboratories at London’s Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in aid of World Prematurity Day. The Princess, who is a patron of Borne, said that the charity’s work was “incredibly close and personal to me, following the early arrival of my second daughter”. Beatrice, pictured with the Good Morning Britain presenter…

The fashion designer Savannah Miller and her husband, James Whewell, whose family estate is Wyresdale Park in the Forest of Bowland, are building an empire in the wedding industry. Savannah, sister to the actress Sienna Miller, has been at the helm of her eponymous bridal brand since 2016, dressing fashion‑forward brides such as the content creator Ambar Driscoll and the model Danielle Copperman in her timeless designs. Meanwhile, her husband has spent the past six months overseeing a “massive renovation” of his family home, transforming it into a fairytale wedding venue. It is this stunning location that plays host to this exclusive HELLO! shoot. “We just love love. It’s ludicrous,” Savannah, 46, says of the fact that both she and her husband are immersed in this world. “It’s so funny…

Nothing says “holiday season” quite like hosting at home, surrounded by friends and family, raising glasses of fizz and revelling in the warm glow of each other’s company. But although a lot of thought goes into tablescaping, one area of the house that often gets neglected when it comes to a seasonal spruce-up is the bathroom. Your guests may spend less time in there than in the dining room or the lounge, but it still deserves a sprinkling of festive magic. “Even if you haven’t got around to renovating your bathroom and the decor is a bit dated, giving it a spruce-up before guests arrive makes all the difference,” says Rachel Avery, HELLO!’s homes editor. “First, blitz it so it’s spotlessly clean, ensure it smells fragrant with a reed diffuser…

STARS SHINE AS KRIS TURNS 70 IN STYLE She has amassed a fortune to rival those of her billionaire daughters, so when Kris Jenner turned 70 on 5 November, she spared no expense in throwing a lavish party at the Beverly Hills home of the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos. Stars including Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Adele, Hailey and Justin Bieber, Naomi Watts and Miranda Kerr all attended the extravagant celebrations, which had a James Bond theme. Also present were the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé and Mark Zuckerberg. Kris, wearing a red couture gown by Givenchy, also welcomed her famous daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, and Kendall and Kylie Jenner. IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR AS TESS RECEIVES MBE Tess Daly…

He may be a regular fixture on Saturday night TV, thrilling fans of Gladiators with his athleticism and showmanship, but at HELLO!’s exclusive photoshoot with Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, aka Nitro, there’s only one star of the show – and that’s his daughter, Aubreé-Isla. “She has such a big personality. I think she’s going to be a performer,” Harry says proudly as the five-year-old entertains our team by mimicking the signature poses of some of his Gladiators co-stars and chatting about having a tea party after the shoot – at the stunning Nonsuch Mansion in Surrey – with her mother, Lauren, Harry’s wife. It’s clear that the star, whose time on Strictly Come Dancing came to an end earlier this month, relishes his role as a father. “If anything, I’m too much…

Over her 20-year career, Gwendoline Christie has proved that she’s too rare a beauty, too great a talent and too complex a character to be pigeonholed. As an actress, she’s a shapeshifter, effortlessly morphing from warrior knight in Game of Thrones to devoted principal teacher in Netflix’s Wednesday to haunting goatherd in Apple TV’s Severance – all complex roles, and yet she makes them look easy. Although she’s respected for her acting and has been nominated for Emmy Awards, she is equally respected for her fashion nous. She is a frequent fixture on the front row, whether as a support to her partner, the fashion designer Giles Deacon, or her friend Sarah Burton, the creative director of Givenchy. Now, Gwendoline, 47, is taking on her most surprising role yet, as…

All eyes were on the 12-year-old boy standing beside his mother at the Royal Albert Hall for the Festival of Remembrance. Prince George joined the Princess of Wales and his grandfather the King, surrounded by the weight of history and the comfort of continuity. His father, the Prince of Wales, was returning from Brazil after the Cop30 summit and his Earthshot Prize awards ceremony. The young prince sang God Save the King with a clear, confident voice. He stood straight, alert, absorbing every detail. A child, yes, but already measured and aware. In that still moment, he embodied both innocence and inheritance – the promise of a future in formation. The evening in London on Saturday 8 November carried deep resonance, and not just because it marked a milestone for…

Wearing gloves and a satsuma-coloured jacket, the Princess Royal admired an orchid bearing her name during a two-day visit to Singapore. She and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, were introduced to Dendrobium Anne at the city-state’s National Orchid Garden, where she also encountered another species of orchid named after her mother more than 50 years ago. Princess Anne also attended a party to celebrate the King’s 77th birthday, saying: “The timeliness of the celebration is strangely quite close to his actual birthday, for a change. It’s the end of this week. So, not bad. “These birthday celebrations are always here at the historic setting of Eden Hall. This building symbolises the UK’s enduring diplomatic presence in Singapore. “It is a remarkable milestone – 60 years of diplomatic relations…

André Rieu may be a world-renowned musician – the violinist and conductor has sold more than 40 million albums, with his concerts outselling Bruce Springsteen and Coldplay – but the 76-year-old Dutch performer says he would be “lying in a gutter with a bottle of whiskey” if it weren’t for his wife, Marjorie. “She came into my life and believed in me,” he says, speaking exclusively to HELLO! from his home – a castle in Maastricht, in the Netherlands. “I knew immediately that she was the one, and that I wanted to be with her for my whole life,” he says of his wife of 50 years, who has been involved in his career from the beginning. André, who performs all over the world with the Johann Strauss Orchestra, the…

Originally from Michigan, the dancer, actress and choreographer Dita Von Teese, 53, made her mark on London in the early 2000s, when a routine she performed in a giant martini glass cemented her status as the queen of burlesque. Since then, she has performed at some of the world’s most illustrious venues, in cities including Paris, Las Vegas and New York. Her latest show, Nocturnelle, begins a run of UK dates in January. ‘Caviar Kaspia in Paris is my favourite restaurant. I lust after that famous baked potato with caviar. The last time I had it, the owner swooped over to me with a caviar reload. I’ve always been a collector of exceptional lingerie. I have corsets made by Mister Pearl. He has created pieces of haute couture that are…

She made her name in comedy shows on both sides of the Atlantic, has acted in period costume dramas and big-budget Hollywood films, and is a member of the royal family. But the latest role in Sophie Winkleman’s eclectic career, as a busybody mother, is one of her favourites to date. “It’s one of the nicest jobs I’ve had in years,” Sophie tells HELLO! as we sit down to talk about the BBC’s new drama Wild Cherry and her character, Frances, whom she describes as “Hyacinth Bucket reincarnated”, referring to the late Dame Patricia Routledge’s character in the sitcom Keeping Up Appearances. “She’s a curtain-twitching gossip and the worst kind of WhatsApp classroom-group nightmare. She’s meddling, judgmental and smug. It was fun playing someone that annoying, because I’ve had a…

He’s the cello‑playing heartthrob who has made classical music sexy, and when he’s not performing for royalty, presidents and popes, Stjepan Hauser can be found fending off his army of female fans. “I have become Celvis,” jokes the Croatian musician when HELLO! meets him backstage at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles during his sell‑out North American tour. Hauser, as he is known, inspires fandom usually reserved for Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias or his hero, Elvis Presley, with swooning women throwing lingerie at him. “They throw pants and bras on stage,” says the star, 39, who’s performing at The O2 in London and Manchester’s AO Arena. “It’s crazy. Every night, I walk into my dressing room and there’s a woman there. Nobody knows how she got in.” With a No.…

Bowing his head and appearing emotional as he laid a wreath at the Cenotaph, the King led the royal family in a moving Remembrance Sunday service in London. His Majesty was joined at the annual event by the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, as well as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, other senior politicians and faith leaders. Crowds wearing poppy badges, scarves and bags lined Whitehall, clapping and cheering as veterans and military personnel took their places for the march, which included around 10,000 participants representing 341 different armed forces and civilian associations. They ranged from 20 Second World War veterans, six of whom were 101 years old, to the youngest…

The successful entrepreneur Holly Tucker believes she knows the key to healing pain in midlife: owning your own business. Having championed female‑led small businesses through her online marketplace, Holly & Co, she says that women feel more empowered to succeed when they have suffered loss. Holly, who also presents Be Your Own Boss on ITV, has first‑hand experience. By the time she was 25, she had been married, divorced and diagnosed with a brain tumour. She then launched her first enterprise, setting up Christmas markets, which led to her successful online platform, Not On the High Street. “I’m obsessed with business because I think it’s the key to happiness,” she tells host Ateh Jewel in this week’s episode of hello!’s Second Act podcast. “You can determine your own time. You…

CELEBRATE IN STYLE This week, we’re primed to party. As the social season beckons, we’ve gathered the most stylish pieces to ensure that you (and your bathroom) are perfectly adorned. Wine expert Olly Smith guides you through the bottles worth uncorking, while we present the ultimate gifts for the hosts with the most, and burlesque star Dita Von Teese shares her thoughts on the transformative power of exquisite lingerie. So, swipe on a bold red lipstick and shimmy into the festive season in style.…

Olly Smith’s career has been anything but predictable. As a teenager, he held a Saturday job delivering boxes for a wine shop and won a music scholarship to Charterhouse School, singing and playing the French horn and organ. He then worked as a screenwriter for film and TV, before making a move back into the world of wine. In 2005, he won the reality show Wine Idol, launching his career as one of TV’s most recognisable wine experts. Regular appearances on Saturday Kitchen soon followed, paired with a reputation for infectious enthusiasm and unpretentious expertise. Olly is now the author of six books, and his latest – Wine: Everything You Need to Know – is a comprehensive guide to tackling the subject from scratch, covering everything from food pairings to…

Festive table settings have come a long way since the tinselled opulence of years past. Before the word tablescape entered our vocabulary, decorations were often plastic, jewel‑toned and unapologetically over the top. Today, our approach is far more considered – and our appetite for beautiful, imaginative displays only continues to grow, thanks to social media and the abundance of design‑led options now at our fingertips. In 2009, Louisa Preskett Mobbs founded the event‑design and production company Polar Black Events, winning an impressive list of clients including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dom Pérignon. A decade later, she co‑founded the luxury British homeware brand Maison Margaux, a tableware platform that rents out entire collections (so no two tables need ever look the same) and also offers an edit of pieces to…

You know those saints who say it’s better to give than to receive? They’re probably the same people who prefer to be a host, rather than a guest. If that’s you, I’m in awe, but I confess to being in the latter camp for both of these scenarios. I’m famed for being the hostess with the leastess. For serving too little food, too late, and often failing to procure the one vital ingredient – say, the chicken for a roast chicken dinner. Yes, really. I have produced extremely dry puddings (I later found the butter in the microwave) and prawn dishes for vegetarians (surely crustaceans don’t count?). My friends joke that if you’re invited to mine for dinner, you should consider taking your own food. But this year, I will…
