Canada has been thrust into the spotlight in a most unexpected way this year thanks to our neighbour south of the border. U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to make our nation America’s 51st state have reverberated around the world – and Justin Trudeau isn’t the only one to have fought back. Our own Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Shrek) made headlines by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the maple leaf flag, along with the slogan “Canada is not for sale,” on a recent episode of SNL.King Charles, meanwhile, is in an unenviable position, caught between the need to foster strong relations with the U.S. and the desire to play a key ambassadorial role as Canada’s head of state. Many believe the King, Prince William and Princess Kate (who wore red and…

‘MY DREAM WAS ALWAYS TO BE AN ACTRESS AND TO MAKE MOVIES’ Heading into awards season, Mikey Madison was a relatively unknown actress. But seemingly overnight, the Los Angeles native has earned her spot among the Hollywood elite, taking home a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Anora.“It’s exciting and also overwhelming at the same time,” the 25-year-old says of her unexpected victory. To be fair, Mikey had been honing her craft since she was a teen, appearing in five seasons of TV series Better Things, for instance. And she turned heads in hit films such as Scream V and Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, garnering the attention of Anora writer and director Sean Baker, who went on to create the titular character of Ani with Mikey in mind.…

It was an extraordinary occasion when the Prince of Wales and Donald Trump sat down together after the Paris reopening of Notre Dame cathedral last December. The incoming U.S. president, 78, and future King, 42, appeared to get along famously, with Donald describing Prince William as a “good man” who “loves his wife” and is “doing a fantastic job.” The goodwill continues as President Trump, now in office, has been invited to Britain for an unprecedented second state visit and is expected to reciprocate by hosting the royals at the White House in 2026. But amid the camaraderie, King Charles, 76, is said to be concerned about the standoff between the U.S. and Canada – an issue that’s “particularly on his mind,” reports the Sunday Times. This was confirmed by…

Demi Moore GET THE LOOK If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! The star of The Substance stayed true to her signature beauty esthetic on Oscar night, letting her long, glossy raven locks do the talking. “Demi wore a beautiful Armani Privé dress, so I wanted [her hair] to be glamorous but, at the same time, powerful – like her personality,” says celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who used Moroccanoil products to enhance that famously sleek shine. A Vogue shoot of Demi from the early 2000s provided inspo, leading to soft Hollywood waves. (Turn to page 62 for more insights into how Dimitris works his red-carpet magic.) Makeup artist Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury, meanwhile, went for “fresh, luminous skin, with pops of colour on the cheeks and a sultry sparkle on the eyes.”…

BODY GUARD When styling my clients’ hair, the product I never skip is a heat protectant. I like Moroccanoil’s Perfect Defense – it works on all hair types. TOOL OF THE TRADE Some people feel safer when they see a stylist pull out lots of products, but I usually use three or four things. The one I use the most in my kit? Probably my Mason Pearson brush. IN-FLIGHT ESSENTIAL I’m constantly on flights – mainly between New York, Paris and L.A. but also everywhere in between – so comfort is key. My uniform is an oversized coat with a sweatsuit under it. MOOD BOOSTER It depends on the mood – and the time of day – but lately I’ve been throwing it back to Aaliyah. Her music is just…

He might have found his calling in Hollywood, but Toronto native Stephen Amell didn’t always have dreams of becoming an actor. “I wanted to play for the Blue Jays!” the longtime baseball fan, 43, tells us of his childhood fantasy, adding that he “didn’t properly get into acting” until he was in his late 20s. “I was a little bit late [to the game],” admits Stephen, who was 31 when he landed his breakout role in Arrow – the fan-favourite action show that he led from 2012 to 2020. Now, five years after its final episode, the star has traded his superhero costume for a closet full of business clothes as he steps into the shoes of entertainment lawyer Ted Black, the main character in the spinoff series Suits L.A.…

‘IT’S A VERY SURREAL, SPECIAL DAY, SO WE HAD TO PICK THE MOST SPECIAL DRESS’Ariana Grande You can always expect surprises on Oscar night – and this year’s show was no exception. The 97th Academy Award ceremony – held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and hosted by Conan O’Brien – was full of unexpected wins, shocking upsets and a glamorous night featuring fabulous fashion. Topping the best-dressed list was Wicked star Ariana Grande, who looked so ethereal, she may as well have descended and emerged from a pink bubble. “I’m floating!” the 31-year-old told Access Hollywood on the red carpet. “I can’t believe I get to wear custom Schiaparelli at the Oscars and sing with my best friend.” She was, of course, referring to her witchy co-star, Cynthia Erivo.…

There’s a new pooch at the palace! Three months after the death of her Jack Russell terrier Beth, Queen Camilla revealed a recent addition to the family. Camilla, 77, shared the happy news while meeting with a partially sighted museum group at the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge in Canterbury, where she was greeted with a bunch of daffodils (above right) and smiles from pup-loving fans (top left). Inside, crouching down to stroke guide dog Fergie the Labrador (above) – named after Sarah, Duchess of York – the Queen observed how “affectionate” the animals were. “I’ve just got a new puppy – she’s eight weeks old,” she confided to Fergie’s owner, Susan Mason, who inquired about the breed. “You may well ask,” replied Camilla, smiling. “A bit of everything.…

Arriving with her husband, the Prince of Wales, 42, Kate looked beautiful in a scarlet Catherine Walker coat dress – which she first wore to the abbey for her 2021 Christmas carol concert – and a matching Gina Foster pillbox hat atop her long flowing locks.

SHANIA TWAIN AND FREDERIC THIEBAUD He’s still the one! After 14 years as husband and wife – and even longer as friends (Shania first met Frédéric in the 1990s, when she was married to her ex, Robert “Mutt” Lange) – these two continue to be smitten as ever. “He’s always taking care of me,” the Ontario native, 59, told Hello!

It’s hard to believe that television’s most fashionable and flirty New Yorker is turning 60 – but Sarah Jessica Parker is taking it all in her beautifully shod stride.“I think [with aging comes] more certainty,” the Sex and the City star – who celebrates her milestone on March 25 – told Allure. “You’re less timid. You’re asking fewer questions about ‘Should I? Can I? … Is that allowed?’ With age and experience, you feel more certain about your place in the world.” The child star-turned-rom-com darling will no doubt move through her new decade with just as much verve as that of her famous alter ego, lovestruck columnist Carrie Bradshaw – the award-winning role that cemented the Ohio native’s status as a global fashion icon. And she’ll do so surrounded…

Another awards season has come and gone, with Hollywood’s biggest night bringing it to a glamorous close. And while we’re tracking who took home the little gold men at the Oscars (see page 4), we can’t ignore the stunning beauty moments that stole the spotlight.

From Halle Berry’s sculptural flipped bob to Selena Gomez’s glossy pout, these were the standouts from the glittering celebration.

Investigators concluded that Betsy had likely died nearly two weeks earlier as a result of hantavirus – a respiratory illness spread to humans from rodents – and Gene passed a week after that due to…

She may not be swinging the clubs anymore, but Canadian singer Celine Dion has a brood of boys – René-Charles, 24, and 14-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy – who love the game. The foursome made a special appearance at Tiger Woods’ TGL tournament in Florida, excited to take in the action. “The three of them are golfers,” Celine, 56, told ESPN of her sons (below left, her twins to her left and René-Charles on her right, posing with Tiger, 49, far L, and friends). “It’s a great passion as a mother to see my own children play this game.” Celine confessed, “I used to play golf when I had time” (top, with late husband René in 2000 and, bottom, a throwback with Tiger). “Then I had kids, then I took…

The Prince and Princess of Wales were given the warmest of welcomes on their first visit to their namesake country since 2023. William, 42, and Kate, 43 – who lived on the Welsh island of Anglesey as newly-weds – visited the town of Pontypridd to learn how it’s coping in the after-math of devastating floods last fall. They also stopped by The Welsh Cake Shop (below left), donning aprons to try their hand at baking.

PISCES FEB. 20 - MARCH 20 With your birthday season drawing to a close, it’s nice to remember that as we grow older, we become wiser. Some people, though, seem determined not to learn anything as they progress through life. They happily go around in circles, playing out the same old scenarios and wondering why they’re still dealing with the same dramas. But they’re not Pisceans! Since you’re ready and willing for the next stage of your life, you’re able to take advantage of the opportunities the equinox brings your way. ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 It’s hard to believe in a system of natural justice.

Some people are born to teach, others to dance or sing. Dimitris Giannetos? He was destined to style. “Ever since I was a boy, I was playing with my mom’s and my sister’s hair,” he tells Hello! Canada. But his path to becoming one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stylists began far from the bright lights of Tinseltown.Raised in a small village in Greece, Dimitris faced plenty of obstacles – starting with his own family. “At the time, it was still taboo for a man to be a hairstylist,” the 41-year-old explains. “So I told a little lie to my father – I said I wanted to be a barber.” At 16, he enrolled in beauty school. After graduating, he moved to Athens, where he quickly made a name for himself.…
