As the great and the good of the acting world gathered in the spring sunshine for the Olivier Awards – the Oscars of London theatre – at the Royal Albert Hall in the capital, all eyes were on Romola Garai. The actress – dressed for her moment in the spotlight in a vibrant Erdem gown – is enjoying something of a career renaissance, after quietly quitting Hollywood more than a decade ago. Back with a bang, the 42-year-old took home the Best Actress in a Supporting Role award, beating off fierce competition from herself after becoming the only star to be nominated twice in one category. Romola secured the victory for her role in The Years, which is based on the book Les Années by Annie Ernaux and enjoyed a…

Just as she was about to play a woman whose libido is awoken following her diagnosis with terminal breast cancer, Michelle Williams made a surprising discovery: she was expecting her third child. “It would be a hard show to make while pregnant,” says the actress, who took an 18-month break, welcoming the baby – her second with husband Thomas Kail – in November 2022. Dressed all in white, her blonde hair slicked into a bob, the former child star tells how she couldn’t shake her desire to bring to life the true story of Molly Kochan in new Disney+ series Dying for Sex. In fact, so committed was Michelle, 44, that she signed on as an executive producer. The story, inspired by Molly’s podcast, explores how she left her husband…

KYLIE IS A BOLT FROM THE BLUE IN NEW YORK Sporting a sensational cobalt latex ensemble, Kylie Minogue commanded the stage as she headlined Madison Square Garden for the first time. The pop star, 56, treated cheering fans in New York to a set packed with hits from her almost four-decade-long career, from 2023’s Padam Padam to her dance-pop favourite Spinning Around. Although the Grammy Award-winning singer performed at the famous venue as part of the Z100 Jingle Ball line-up in 2002, the solo show during her Tension Tour – which includes dates across the US, UK and Europe – marked a major career milestone. “It feels slightly like an out-of-body experience,” she said. Following a pair of stellar performances, Kylie took to Instagram to acknowledge the momentous occasion, writing:…

Smiling in chic swimwear, Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews couldn’t have looked happier as they put their beach fun on show in a lively, candid snap during a family holiday on St Barts last week. The former Made in Chelsea star turned alcohol-free drinks business owner, 36, and his model and podcast host wife, 39, were photographed against a glorious blue sky, with Vogue holding their two-year-old son Otto on her shoulders while four-year-old daughter Gigi balanced on Spencer’s. Also joining them on the trip was their six-year-old son Theodore, who wore an outfit matching his little brother’s as the pair played with a ball under the Caribbean sun and made sandcastles on the beach. A sun-kissed Vogue was also spotted sporting a cobalt bikini paired with cut-off denim shorts…

As the wife of a Hollywood actor and a mother of seven children, Hilaria Baldwin could be forgiven if she sometimes feels a little overwhelmed. After all, she also has a thriving career as a yoga instructor and author. But, as she and her husband Alec star in their own reality show, The Baldwins, Hilaria tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview that she loves the chaotic family life they have created. Although life with their children – eldest daughter Carmen, 11, Rafael, nine, eight-year-old Leonardo, Romeo, six, Eduardo and Marilu, who are both four, and two-year-old Ilaria – can be hectic, Hilaria says she loves living with such a big family and all the responsibilities it brings. “I think I naturally do well with chaos,” she tells us. “I have…

She has joined Sir Elton John and Audrey Hepburn as one of the world’s 21 Egot winners, but chasing stardom has never interested Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award-winning actress Viola Davis. “I’m happy that I’m absolutely at the age where I appreciate the slow burn, because I find success, accolades and living for that to be very limiting,” she says. The 59-year-old actress – who made her breakthrough in 2008’s Doubt, aged 43 – has never been in a rush. “I’m surprised that I don’t spend a lot of time saying: ‘I could have… I should have…’” Viola says. “For me, all of those years doing theatre in musty church basements in New York and all over the country was all worth it.” The star has proved that waiting…

‘MOTHERHOOD IS THE HARDEST AND THE BEST THING I’VE EVER DONE’Cressida Since they became mothers, Isabella Branson and her sister Cressida Bonas’s lives have changed immeasurably as they navigate all the ups and downs that come with parenthood.

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and the best thing I’ve ever done.” Mother of two…

They were briefly in the same city at the same time, but there was no reunion between the King and his younger son after the Duke of Sussex jetted into London for his latest legal battle, ahead of a surprise visit to Ukraine to meet war victims. Prince Harry’s arrival in the capital coincided with His Majesty’s trip to hospital for scheduled cancer treatment ahead of his state visit to Italy last week. Although they were within a few miles of one another, a reunion between father and son was said not to be possible. While the King and Queen celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary at a glittering state banquet in Rome, Harry, 40, was in the Court of Appeal, where his barrister argued that the downgrading of his royal…

SIR ELTON JOHN AND MADONNA Stars decide to bury the hatchet at last Madonna and Sir Elton John have ended a decades-long feud. The tension was caused by the Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word singer repeatedly accusing Madonna of lip-syncing. The pair reconciled when Madonna went backstage after Elton performed on US TV show Saturday Night Live. “Over the decades it hurt me to know that someone I admired so much shared his dislike of me publicly as an artist,” Madonna, 66, said on Instagram, revealing that Elton, 78, had asked for forgiveness. Elton said to the Vogue singer on Instagram: “Thank you for forgiving me and my big mouth.” PRADA AND VERSACE Rival Italian fashion houses to unite Prada has announced that it is buying high-fashion label…
