Set to receive the Volpi Cup – an award presented for Best Actress – for her role in Babygirl, Nicole left a statement to be read at the ceremony. “I’m in shock, and I have to go to my family,” she said. “But this award is for [my mom].

Judging by the sharp styles on the runways and the many celebrities opting for crisp blazers over traditional gowns, tailored suits are shaping up to be fall’s must-have look. Whether it’s a skirt suit, a vest with matching trousers or an oversized blazer, this season’s suiting options are undeniably compelling. Take a cue from Serena Williams, who wore an ultra-suave three-piece Louis Vuitton number to a pre-Olympics event in Paris, proving that the sleek set works for any occasion.

Looking regal in a dazzling gold-and-pearl diadem that framed her wavy chestnut locks and wearing an exquisite bespoke ivory gown, Princess Märtha Louise of Norway glided down an aisle decorated with pink roses and hydrangeas to marry her handsome fiancé, California-born Durek Verrett, in the most exciting and magical royal wedding of the year. The emotional ceremony was set within a marquee in the grounds of the opulent Hotel Union in Geiranger, overlooking the breathtaking natural scenery of western Norway – the majestic mountains serving as the couple’s “cathedral” and the vibrant energy of the deep blue fiords and waterfalls as their spiritual “palace.” MAGICAL VENUE “It’s one of my favourite places in the world,” Märtha, 52, tells Hello!, explaining why the pair – who met six years ago –…

Fresh from his summer break, the Prince of Wales returned to royal duties in London, taking in the Homelessness: Reframed exhibition at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery. The show – which features sculptures, photos and everyday objects given new life by artists (many of whom have slept rough at some point in their lives) – is a collaboration with Homewards, the prince’s initiative to end homelessness. “Do you think we’ve got the right tone?” William, 42, mused aloud as he toured the gallery. “I really want people to feel this, experience it – to change perceptions.” He appeared particularly moved by a piece by award-winning artist David Tovey: a red structure made of scraps of metal and panels from a Peugeot 206 car – the same make and model that the…

August was a blessed month for Queen Rania of Jordan, who became a first-time grandmother, celebrated a milestone and starred in a new portrait. “Every year, you are the light of the house,” gushed her firstborn son, Crown Prince Hussein, 30, toasting his beloved mom’s 54th birthday as he shared a photo of her cradling his newborn daughter, Iman (far right). “Forever grateful for your love and endless support.” Also marking the occasion was the Royal Hashemite Court, which released a new official portrait. In the stunning photo (right), the Kuwait-born beauty accessorized a simple black dress with a crown brooch and her precious 20-carat Arabic Script tiara, comprising 1,300 diamonds and inscribed with the words “Greatness for Allah.” Rania last wore the headpiece, given to her in 2005 by…

Prince Harry made an under-the-radar trip to the U.K. for his uncle’s funeral and did not stay at a royal residence, it’s been revealed. The memorial for Robert Lord Fellowes (right) – one of the late Queen’s aides and the husband of Harry’s aunt Lady Jane Fellowes – fell just three days before the 27th anniversary of Princess Diana’s Aug. 31 death. But the Duke of Sussex – who has taken the British government to court over a lack of state-funded protection – was not expected to attend. “This was kept so secret that many people close to the family were totally unaware, and a lot of people attending the funeral were really taken by surprise,” says Hello!’s royal editor, Emily Nash. Prince William also attended the service at St.…

It was a mother-and-son day out for Jessica Biel, 42, and her nine-year-old son, Silas, as they doubled up at the U.S. Open. The 7th Heaven star and her rarely seen elder child were dressed for the occasion in Ralph Lauren: a striped top for Silas and a cream-coloured linen suit for Mom (accessorized with a tennis necklace). For fans, it was an unexpected chance to see one of Jessica’s two sons in public. She and her pop-star husband Justin Timberlake, 43 – who also share four-year-old Phineas – typically keep their little ones out of the spotlight. “We understand that our job has this major public-facing element, but [our] kids didn’t choose this,” the actress explained in a recent interview with Kelly Ripa. This protective mindset, she added, is…

Canada at the première of her dramedy The Room Next Door, adding that she was especially happy to be enjoying some cooler weather. “I was just in Venice, where it was like 90 degrees, but here it’s so cold!” she said with a laugh. “So I love Toronto, especially in the fall.” Radiant in a floral-adorned Bottega Veneta dress, Julianne was joined on the red carpet by co-star Tilda Swinton, 63, who was delighted to discuss the importance of female friendship – a key theme of their film. “Those of us…

As the daughter, granddaughter and niece of French pharmacists, Aude Bordas has a deep understanding of beauty in La Belle France. “We take a less-is-more approach to many things, including our makeup and skin care,” says the expat, who now lives in Montreal and works as a marketing manager for Aix-en-Provence-based Naos, the parent company of Bioderma. The iconic French pharmacy brand has become an international sensation thanks to its Sensibio H2O micellar water – which counts Selena Gomez and Drew Barrymore among its famous fans.

‘There was such an honesty about her’– ANNE Imagine you’re settling in for a cozy night at home when the phone rings and the voice on the other end says, “Hello, this is Anne Beckwith-Smith, lady-in-waiting to the Princess of Wales. The princess would like to take dancing classes.” That’s exactly what happened to Anne Allan, who was teaching with Britain’s London City Ballet when she received the fateful call from Kensington Palace back in 1981. Born in Glasgow (but now a Torontonian), Anne had an impressive resumé behind her as a ballet mistress, and there was no questioning her skills. She did, however, have doubts about the legitimacy of the call. “I had just put my daughter down for bed when the phone went. And I actually just thought…

‘He is the person whose smile makes me melt’ – AMAL CLOONEY After 10 years of marriage and two children, George and Amal Clooney are still the king and queen of romantic PDA. The oh-so-in-love couple aren’t afraid to put their affections on display, most recently seen holding hands and snuggling on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. Supporting the première of his movie Wolfs, George took every opportunity to wrap an arm around his wife – who looked stunning in a yellow Versace gown – and flash that gorgeous smile as he looked into her eyes. Meeting Amal, 46, “changed everything in terms of what I thought my future – my personal future – was going to be,” George said in 2015. “But I’ve always been an…

The stylish quartet are suddenly Hollywood’s new Fab Four In town for the première of Wolfs (his first time co-starring with George since 2008’s Burn After Reading), Brad, 60, was also starring in another launch – the red-carpet debut of his relationship.

He’s not with me for any other reason than that we are right for each other’ – LADY GAGA Held in Italy’s city of love, the Venice Film Festival did not disappoint this year when it came to red-carpet romance. Michael Polansky couldn’t tear his eyes away from future wife Lady Gaga at her Joker: Folie à Deux première, and she returned the affection, touching his face with her hands as they made their official debut at the 81st annual extravaganza. “[I’ve] never met anyone like Michael,” the singer and actress, 38, told Vogue, getting misty-eyed over her husband-to-be, who is co-founder and executive director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy. “He’s so smart and so kind. He’s a very private guy, and he’s not with me for any…

Carmen Electra still recalls the moment she decided to become a Baywatch girl – and she can’t help but laugh as she confesses the reason. “I was in L.A. with my boyfriend [at the time] and he was looking at those girls on the show… so I wanted to be one of them!” she tells us, adding that she “jumped at the chance” to join the series when the opportunity came along in 1997. “It was turning every guy’s head… it was iconic!” Before rising to fame as lifeguard Lani McKenzie, the Cincinnati native had been pursuing music with the help of pop icon Prince (he produced her debut album in 1993), and later landed a hosting gig on MTV dating show Singled Out. “Going from performing with Prince to…

Alexander Skarsgård and Andy Samberg also star.
