The old saying “Life begins at 40” most certainly applies to the Duchess of Cambridge, whose new portraits show a whole new side to the royal wife and mother of three. So remarkable are the photos that we decided to simply let Kate shine on this week’s cover (you can see all three breathtaking images starting on page 26). Kate isn’t the only royal woman to depart from tradition on her 40th. When Princess Anne (below left) turned 40 in 1990, she enlisted fashion and celebrity photographer John Swannell. It was John’s first commission with the Queen’s daughter, and he remembers it as “all very official. They sent in detectives to make sure my studio was safe and told me I had two hours to take five pictures, which was…

Before Emily was in Paris, Lily Collins was a toddler in London, where she displayed less than her best royal etiquette when meeting Princess Diana and Prince Charles at a Prince’s Trust Charity concert at Royal Albert Hall in 1990. “I’m giving Diana flowers, but the second that she went to take them, I then tried to pull them back,” the Emily in Paris actress, 32, hilariously revealed when the picture was shown on The Late Late Show with James Corden. “So as you can imagine, all the air was sucked out of the room,” said the British-American actress. “I was wearing a cute dress [though], so who’s going to really punish me?” She had many childhood interactions with the royals because her dad, music icon Phil Collins, 70, was…

Proving she’s just as glam behind the scenes as she is on the big screen, Charlize Theron has given fans a rare glimpse into her home life. The Atomic Blonde star shared photos of herself taking a nap on the couch under a Care Bears blanket with her younger daughter, August, 6 (left), and her four dogs chilling in front of the fireplace (below). “New year, same energy,” she humorously captioned the snaps, while urging 2022 to start with a new vibe. Fans and famous friends loved the pics, with January Jones zeroing in on August’s eyewear. “OMG I got Xander that eye mask massager thing for Xmas,” wrote the Mad Men actress, who has a 10-year-old son. Charlize, 46, who has been single since her split from Sean Penn…

I talian-born, Paris-based Paolo Roversi, the man behind the stunning new portraits of the Duchess of Cambridge, is no stranger to capturing the rich and famous on-camera. The 74-year-old photographer’s celebrity subjects range from supermodels Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss to actresses Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson. His distinctive images have graced the pages of Vogue and Vanity Fair, as well as London’s National Portrait Gallery, where the duchess’s new portraits will be permanently on display. Paolo (left, at a 2018 exhibit of his work in Berlin) says his royal subject was initially “apprehensive” about the shoot. “Every day she is [ambushed] by photographers, but she’s not used to posing,” he told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “Knowing my photos with the models, she was a bit fearful in facing a…

“He was, like, ‘I’m sorry … If you hang out with me, it happens’” Being the Ricardos star Alia Shawkat shares pal Brad Pitt’s reaction to unfounded relationship rumours that spread about them “She doesn’t like to watch anything we do” That’s how it is with kids! Teenage Coco Arquette isn’t Scream-ing for more of mom Courteney Cox and dad David Arquette’s movies “I’m still in shock. [Kanye West] had an entire hotel suite full of clothes. It was every girl’s dream come true” Date night with the rapper leaves actress-model Julia Fox speechless “Let’s go girls! Proud of you, Taylor Swift. Historical records are made and then broken” Big-hearted Shania Twain sings the praises of her fellow pop star, who surpassed her record as the female artist with the…

He was among the few remaining stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age – “not only a brilliant actor, activist, and a man of incredible grace and moral fortitude, [but] also a devoted and loving husband, a supportive and adoring father, and a man who always put family first.” Those words, from Sidney Poitier’s loved ones, paint a picture of a man who blazed a singular trail in Hollywood. He died at age 94 on Jan. 6 in his L.A. home (a cause of death was not revealed). The first Black man to win the Best Actor Oscar, in 1964, Sidney made a career of choosing roles that would challenge racial stereotypes. “He opened doors for all of us,” said Denzel Washington, who in 2002 became only the second Black star to…

He’s played a lot of roles since he first rose to fame as heartthrob A.C. Slater on the hit ’90s sitcom Saved by the Bell. The most life-changing role for Mario Lopez, though, might just be that of dad. “I’ve always been [driven], but now more so than ever,” the star, 48, tells Hello! as he reflects on his life as a parent to sons Santino, 2, Dominic, 8, and daughter Gia, 11, whom he shares with wife Courtney, 39. “They make me want to work that much harder.” Grateful for his happy home life, the Access Hollywood anchor, 48, is also finding joy in having come full circle, reuniting with his onscreen classmates in the reboot of Saved by the Bell.

Tinseltown’s biggest stars were quietly honoured at the Golden Globe Awards in a celebration that unfolded like no other. Without a starry red carpet and celebrity-packed audience – or even a televised show – winners of the annual film and TV awards were announced via social media during a 90-minute private event. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s scaled-down production follows a tumultuous year for the group, which has come under fire for a lack of diversity among its ranks but has vowed to bring about meaningful change. Winning his first Golden Globe, Will (left), 53, was named Best Actor in a motion picture, drama, for his portrayal of tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams’s father in the critically acclaimed King Richard (top left), while Nicole (right), 54, picked up her…

Age, they say, is just a number. But certain ages -- like the ones that end in a zero -- are meant to be celebrated! And that’s exactly what some of your favourite Hollywood stars are going to do in 2022 – whether they’re waving goodbye to their 20s, like Selena Gomez, or saying hello to their 80s, like Barbra Streisand. As they prepare to enter the next decade, there’s plenty to be thankful for – career highs, happy marriages, growing kids, new grandbabies – and new chapters to look forward to. Supercouple Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, who are turning 30 and 40, respectively, are ready to start a family, while soon-to-be-50 Dwayne Johnson wants to slow down and make more “joyful moments” with his loved ones. And almost-octogenarian…

‘Bob made us laugh until we cried … No one gave better hugs’– THE FULL HOUSE CAST When the Full House cast heard the shocking news that their TV patriarch, Bob Saget, had died on Jan. 9, they united in crisis, as families do. “Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family,” the cast said in a statement. “Bob made us laugh until we cried. He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us.” The cast members – including John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, and twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen – encouraged fans to hug their loved ones in his honour. “No one…

It had to be postponed twice during the pandemic but now the fifth annual Invictus Games is less than 100 days away – and the Duke of Sussex is pumped! Originally scheduled to take place in May of 2020, the Games, which are very dear to Prince Harry’s heart, will finally go ahead in The Hague, Netherlands, between April 16 and 22. “For so many around the world, the Invictus community included, COVID-19 has changed our expectations, hopes and plans,” Harry, 37, wrote in a message announcing the delay. “But our unwavering mission is one bound by resilience and community – and that mission will continue to shine when we hope to see everybody in person again in The Hague.” Created in 2014, the Invictus Games celebrates the power of…

Young beauties! A rare picture of the Queen and Princess Margaret as teenagers has just been sold for £800 (more than $1,300). Captured in 1944 by royal photographer Lisa Sheridan, the black-and-white photo shows the sisters posing with the entire cast of Old Mother Red Riding Boots (bottom right), a Christmas pantomime put on at Windsor Castle to raise spirits during the Second World War. Shining bright in a sparkling dress, the 18-year-old future Queen, who starred as Lady Christina Sherwood in the show (middle bottom), is the focal point of the picture as she stands beautiful and tall in the centre of her castmates and Royal Horse Guards musicians. To her left is an equally dazzling 14-year-old Princess Margaret, who played the Honourable Lucinda Fairfax in a story that…

Gazing confidently at the camera, this is the Duchess of Cambridge as we’ve never seen her before. Kate looks every inch the high-fashion model, wearing a red one-shouldered gown, her hands in the pockets and her hair loose and wavy, lifted by the breeze to reveal diamond earrings on loan from the Queen. In each, Kate radiates ethereal beauty in an exquisite gown by Alexander McQueen, the label behind her wedding dress. PICTURE PERFECT In the first of the other two portraits, which are in black-and-white, Kate smiles into the camera, wearing a floaty, ruffled white gown created from remnants of fabric from previous collections. The final image recalls the traditional royal portraiture of Sir Cecil Beaton. In it, the duchess poses in profile, dressed in another flowing, off-the-shoulder gown…

As one of the world’s biggest pop stars, Katy Perry knows how to put on a sensational show. And fans weren’t disappointed on the opening night of her Las Vegas residency, which saw the “Fireworks” singer showcase a series of delightfully quirky costumes – seven in all – during a 95-minute set. Katy, 37, performed some of her best-known songs amid a dazzling collection of oversized objects, from a rocking horse to a bathtub, flaunting delightfully over-the-top styles – a dress made of crushed beer cans at one moment, a body-hugging sparkly number the next. Describing the colourful and energetic production, aptly titled Play, as “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids meets Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” Katy said, “A lot of my shows have been figuratively larger than life, but I play a…

FLOATING GARDEN While a good portion of Bangladesh sits below sea level and the Bengali River is often flooded, occasionally the waterway is shallow enough to see the riverbed with its majestic swirling plant life, allowing boaters and swimmers to float on a sea of gorgeous green. OVER THE HUMP “It became a dream to muster my own camels from the wild, train my own camels and go on a big trek,” said photographer Sophie Matterson, 33, who recently finished a two-year, 5,000-km journey across Australia with her five-camel herd.

Jennifer Lawrence GET THE LOOK For her first red carpet in years, Jennifer couldn’t have looked more radiant. The 31-year-old actress made a sensational entrance at the première of her Netflix movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, Don’t Look Up, in a gilded glittering Dior gown. Pregnant with her first child, the Oscar winner showed off her mom-to-be glow, enhanced by some very strategically placed bronzer by her longtime makeup artist Fulvia Farolfi. He stuck with a warm sun-kissed monochrome palette, with no one feature stealing the limelight thanks to a skilful application of thin black liner and soft fluffy lashes. Her hair was masterfully styled in a low-key updo by Jenny Cho. The centre part, low-slung bun and subtle waves delivered a romantic and effortlessly ethereal look. You glow girl!…
