‘We enjoy being by the pool, partying, fine dining, playing tennis and hanging out‘ The tropical Thai island of Phuket has a dreamlike quality. Over the rainforest-fringed beaches soar mountain peaks, from which you can see dozens of rocky islets scattered across the ocean as if by a giant hand. Here, all of nature looks larger and brighter than life. But for avant-garde jeweller Corina Mihaila Larpin, who has a home here, it’s the flowers that are most inspirational. She has found a way to capture their intense colours and sculptural shapes forever – in precious gems. The designs she creates for celebrities including Madonna, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé are nothing if not dramatic, and the same is true of the villa she and husband Christian have built. STUNNING BACKDROP High ceilings, columns and…

It was a star-studded event full of A-listers and music legends – so where better for singer and actress Cher to make her red-carpet debut with her new boyfriend than the glittering Versace fashion show in Los Angeles? The Oscar winner, 76, and her boyfriend of four months Alexander Edwards, 37, arrived hand in hand at the Italian label’s autumn/winter show in West Hollywood before kissing on the white carpet inside the Pacific Design Centre. Twice-married Cher and music producer Alexander have been linked since November and have been open about their blossoming romance. Speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show in December, the Believe singer said: “Well, on paper, it’s kind of ridiculous, but in real life, we get along great. “He’s fabulous and I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve,…

As the mum of three young children, you may expect Vogue Williams’s idea of being spoilt on Mother’s Day to involve some quiet me time. But that’s not the case. “I should be locking myself in my bedroom on my own to read my book because I’m allowed, because it’s Mother’s Day, but that’s not what I enjoy the most,” says the 37-year-old podcaster, presenter and entrepreneur in this exclusive chat with HELLO!. “My ideal Mother’s Day is having a roast, being at home, relaxing with the kids and maybe going for a nice walk.” Such is the importance of Mother’s Day for Vogue – who has Theodore, four, Gigi, two, and Otto, one next month, with husband Spencer Matthews – that she changed her travel plans to be able to spend…

‘My mum has made me the person I am today. I trust her opinion more than anyone else’s’ Welcoming HELLO! into her newly renovated dream home is a proud moment for Saffron Barker. Not only has the YouTuber bought the property, then designed and overseen a renovation, she’s done all this in her early 20s. “Every time I pull into my driveway, I think to myself: ‘I can’t believe this is mine.’ It genuinely is everything I’ve ever dreamt of,” says the former Strictly Come Dancing star. Saffron, now 22, has been joined by her mum Wendy for this exclusive photoshoot and interview at her incredible Sussex home, which features a home cinema, gym and walk-in closet, and while many people her age are still living at home, she is proud and grateful…

From big screen to silkscreen, Johnny Depp may have to watch out for pirate copies of his artwork soon – as well as his films. The Hollywood star has unveiled his second art collection, a limited series of silkscreen prints featuring the likes of Heath Ledger and Bob Marley, which went on sale through a London gallery and sold out within days. The second in his Friends & Heroes series, the prints reportedly netted Johnny (left) more than £4.5m. The first, a set of four depicting Al Pacino, Bob Dylan, Dame Elizabeth Taylor and Keith Richards (right), sold out within hours last July, making him a reported £3m. After learning of the portraits via a post on Johnny’s Instagram, fans flocked to buy them. “I’ve always used art to express my feelings…

Her aunt launched countless trends, but when Princess Beatrice was seeking sartorial inspiration last week, rather than copying Diana, Princess of Wales, she looked a little closer to home. The fashion-fabulous Princess gave a subtle nod to the style of her mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, by wearing one of her signature hair accessories from the 1980s: a velvet bow. Dressed smartly in black, save for her Claudie Pierlot checked trench coat (left), Beatrice added a fun flourish to her ponytail with the bow, which said “love me” in gold (below). Her throwback look was one Sarah helped champion in the 1980s, when she frequently wore her hair up and adorned with embellishments including bows (below, on an official trip to the Isle of Wight in June 1986, a month before her…
