ONE MORNING LAST JULY, Ian Elliott and Tyler Shane waited for a call they’d been hoping to receive for years. It was 10 days after their surrogate’s embryo transfer, and after three failed transfers and plenty of uncertainty, they were preparing themselves for another letdown. Then the phone rang. “We’ll never forget her voice,” recalls Ian. “The nurse from Anova told us the transfer had worked—and not only that, but the numbers also looked incredible. She said she had tears in her eyes for us. We felt the joy in her voice. That moment still gives us chills.” That call marked a turning point. After years of effort, the final stretch of their long and often isolating fertility journey had begun. Ian and Tyler had talked about growing their family…

Margot Robbie sparkled at the première of her latest film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Appearing alongside her co-star Colin Farrell in London’s Leicester Square, the Barbie actress shimmered in a sheer Armani Privé Spring 2025 couture gown, embellished with rhinestones and paired with a bejewelled thong. It was the star’s second red-carpet outing since welcoming her first child with Tom Ackerley – her producer husband of eight years – last October. She has described the experience of becoming a mom to her little boy as “the best.” Margot, 35, will next be seen on the big screen in Emerald Fennell’s remake of Wuthering Heights, alongside fellow Australian actor Jacob Elordi. Margot takes on double duty, also producing the movie.…

‘THE ROYAL FAMILY SURPASSED THEMSELVES AND DID THEIR JOB AMAZINGLY’ Demonstrating their growing role on the international stage, the Prince and Princess of Wales were front and centre of a historic – and controversial – state visit. Prince William and Kate, both 43, were the designated greeters for Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, as the U.S. president and first lady landed in the Walled Garden of Windsor Home Park in the Marine One helicopter, and escorted them to meet the King and Queen at nearby Victoria House. The American head of state, 79 – who was charmed by Prince William when they met in Paris last November – patted his arm as they shook hands, saying, “Hello, my friend. How are you?” He told Kate, “You’re so beautiful.” The…

I’m embarrassed how happy this makes me.” That was Seth Rogen’s admission at the end of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, by which time he’d racked up 13 trophies for The Studio. “This is really just so lovely,” said the B.C.-born funnyman, 43, who began the night by claiming, “I’ve never won anything in my life!” Scoring the most wins ever for a comedy in a single season, the satirical show – which counts Canadian Seth as a writer, producer, director and star – unexpectedly dominated America’s celebration of television excellence, as did British drama series Adolescence, which won eight times and made the audience fall in love with its star, 15-year-old Owen Cooper – the youngest male actor to take home an Emmy. “Standing up here is just, wow,…

If you tuned in to Love Island USA this past summer, chances are, you were distracted not by the drama but by the sheer amount of filler (and Botox) on display, especially in the lips. “It was honestly shocking,” says Dr. Julia Carroll, co-founder of Compass Dermatology in Toronto, who watched the first few episodes with her daughter. She suspects even some of the male cast members had paid a visit to their injectors before entering the villa. The dermatologist wasn’t the only one to notice. Social media lit up with commentary about the contestants’ altered looks, with many asking, “Is this really aspirational beauty now?” “If someone walks out of my office and their friends say, ‘Did you do something to your face?’ then I’ve failed,” says Dr. Carroll,…

There’s something undeniably thrilling about joining the cast of a hit series. But it’s a little nerveracking, too – even for a screen veteran like Felicity Huffman. “It’s like being the new kid at school,” the actress, 62, tells Hello! Canada of being a new addition to Doc – the medical drama that follows Dr. Amy Larsen (Molly Parker), who’s navigating life after a traumatic brain injury. Felicity comes on board this season as Amy’s onetime professor and mentor, Dr. Joan Ridley. Playing the hospital’s new chief of internal medicine is just the latest star turn for the leading lady, who won an Emmy for playing frazzled mom Lynette Scavo on Desperate Housewives (2004 to 2012) – and delights in her real-life role as a wife and mom. The New…

‘HE WAS INTELLIGENT, INTENSE, ALWAYS INTERESTING – AND ONE OF THE FINEST ACTORS EVER’Barbra Streisand With piercing blue eyes and matineeidol looks, Robert Redford was one of Hollywood’s quintessential heartthrobs. But his appeal was so much more than skin-deep – he was a creative force, a philanthropist and a family man of principle and kindness who, without fanfare, lifted others up and left cinema and the planet better than he found them. His passing at 89 sparked an outpouring of Tinseltown tributes, led by his onscreen leading ladies. “Cried all morning,” wrote Jane Fonda, who appeared with Robert in five movies, including their first collaboration, 1960’s Tall Story, and their last, 2017’s Our Souls at Night. “Luckily, I can think back on so many joyful, laughter-filled moments when his practical…

It was a reunion that the Duke of Sussex had longed for – a chance for a face-to-face talk with his father, whom he had not seen for 19 months. And when he joined the King at Clarence House, his visit made headlines around the world. The meeting had been “under consideration” for some time, Hello! understands, and a window was left clear in both men’s calendars, but neither side would be drawn in advance on whether it would happen. Harry’s more buoyant demeanour in the days leading up to his rendezvous at the royal residence, however, led some observers to conclude that it was only a matter of time. Afterward, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the duke had joined his father for a “private tea” as his car pulled out…

BEVERLY THOMSON Canada A.M. alum gone at 61 Loved ones are mourning the loss of journalist Beverly Thomson, who succumbed to breast cancer after a decades-long battle. The Toronto native – who got her start in radio and TV news – co-hosted Canada A.M. from 2003 to 2016. “Bev was such a good and kind and thoughtful friend,” said her morning-show peers Marci Ien, Jeff Hutcheson and Seamus O’Regan in a moving joint tribute. She is survived by husband Rob and children Taylor and Robbie. NINA DOBREV & SHAUN WHITE End their 11-month engagement After five years together, Canadian Degrassi alum Nina Dobrev, 36, and Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, 39, are parting ways. The pair got engaged last October, with the American athlete staging a grand surprise proposal in New…

Sometimes, acting seems to be built into your DNA – and that’s the case with Jason Ritter. The son of actress Nancy Morgan and Three’s Company funnyman John Ritter grew up in the Hollywood scene but maintained a down-toearth approach to life. “My dad was never trying to be Mr. Cool,” Jason says of his father, who tragically passed away in 2003, at the age of 54. “He just had fun, and he was who he was unapologetically, and I try to emulate that.” That means being a great husband to his wife, Yellowjackets star Melanie Lynskey, 48, and a loving dad to their six-year-old daughter, all while playing lawyer Julian Markston on a reboot for one of TV’s biggest hits. “Working on Matlock is so exciting,” the Los Angeles…

As Hollywood stars lit up Toronto during TIFF, The Omni King Edward Hotel was alive with local luminaries. Uniting talent and VIP supporters for an unforgettable night of entertainment and emotion, the 17th annual Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ) Gala raised more than $750,000 toward education initiatives in Haiti. Returning hosts George Stroumboulopoulos and Kardinal Offishall kept the evening flowing with humour and heart, while APJ board chair Natasha Koifman reflected on 17 years of impact and the importance of turning awareness into action. The Handmaid’s Tale actress Amanda Brugel moved the audience with her powerful call for equity and responsibility as she received the APJ award for advocacy. “To me, helping others is both a practical and moral responsibility,” said the mom of two. “We cannot take what…

More than 30 years after a tightly curated collection of lipsticks sparked a beauty revolution when it launched at Bergdorf Goodman, Bobbi Brown’s minimalist philosophy has never felt more relevant. The makeup mogul leaned into naturallooking beauty at a time when bold colours ruled the runway. She packaged her first orders from her home in New Jersey and eventually sold her namesake line – which became an industry-defining cosmetics brand – to Estée Lauder in 1995. Bobbi remained at the helm until 2016 and, as part of the sale, agreed to a non-compete clause that expired in 2020. That’s when she launched her clean-beauty brand, Jones Road, which now has a cult following. Along the way, the Chicago-born entrepreneur, 68, has also found time to raise three sons (with her…

Audiences have come to expect both humour and passion from Schitt’s Creek sensation Dan Levy – and he didn’t disappoint at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival. “I’m so proud to be here,” said Dan, 42, as he attended the première for Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery – the nostalgic documentary which focuses on the groundbreaking all-female music festival. Hello! Canada was on the red carpet with Dan, a producer on the film, as he recalled the magic and acceptance he felt at his very first Lilith Fair concert as a teen – an experience that would change him forever. “It was a soft place to be,” said the star, who has spoken about being bullied in high school. “It was warm and welcoming, and that’s something, frankly, that happens…

The Toronto International Film Festival delivers no shortage of memorable sartorial moments – but Brian Cox may have topped them all! The Scottish Succession star stepped out in a traditional kilt and jacket for the world première of his new movie, Glenrothan, proudly paying tribute to his heritage. After the screening, Brian, 79, was visibly moved as the audience rose to their feet in a lengthy standing ovation, honouring his directorial debut. But the mood shifted from heartfelt to hilarious during the Q&A, when a member of the crowd pointed out that his kilt was revealing a little more than intended. Ever quick with a quip, the veteran actor grinned and said, “You have to wear the kilt the proper way.” The Scots theme continued at the official after-party, where…

It was the most solemn of farewells to a beloved member of the Royal Family as the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales joined the Duke of Kent, his children and his grandchildren for the funeral of Katharine, Duchess of Kent, who passed away peacefully at the age of 92. Amid the grandeur of Westminster Cathedral, bathed in afternoon sunshine, around 400 guests gathered to pay their respects at a requiem mass presided over by Cardinal Vincent Nichols. Married to Katharine for 64 years, the duke, 89, was supported by his daughter, Lady Helen Taylor, followed by her husband, Timothy, and their children, Columbus, Cassius, Eloise and Estella. Also among the mourners were Princess Anne and her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence; the Duke and Duchess of York;…

If they were handing out awards for best dressed at the 77th annual Primetime Emmys, Jenna Ortega just might have won the night. The Wednesday star showed us why she is the queen of goth glam, stunning in Givenchy by Sarah Burton’s broken-chandelier jewelry top, made from perfectly placed crystals and pearls on a sheer layer. The dazzling creation was worn a few weeks earlier by Kaia Gerber for the designer’s debut 2025 Fall/Winter Collection campaign. Jenna completed the look with a black crêpe cady skirt and moody makeup. “I love taking risks,” the actress – who turns 23 on Sept. 27 – told Elle in 2023, and she continues to prove that through her fashion choices. Not to be outdone, the men packed chic punches of their own. The…

Cate Blanchett GET THE LOOK Cate the Great proved she’s more than just Hollywood’s wear-it-again queen – she’s the embodiment of timeless beauty. For the Venice Film Festival’s opening ceremony, the Oscar winner, 56, revived her Armani Privé gown from the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards, but it was her radiant glam that kept the look fresh. Makeup artist Mary Greenwell turned to Armani Beauty favourites like Luminous Silk Foundation before sweeping a soft shimmer across her lids for a glow that felt both classic and current. Hair colourist Nicola Clarke gave Cate’s blond waves a modern finish, sealing her red-carpet reputation as one of the ultimate style icons.…

Maximalism is making a comeback. But how do you embrace the esthetic without tipping into chaos? Rosanna Falconer – the designer behind the illustrious interiors of Julie’s restaurant in London’s Notting Hill – says that careful curation is key. “Layer with intention,” she urges. “Choose patterns that complement each other through shared colours. Solid-coloured walls and furniture act as anchors to keep the space grounded and prevent patterns from overwhelming the room.” Rosanna also suggests varying the scale of patterns and mixing in different textures to create visual interest. And if you’re decorating a smaller space? “Consider colour-drenching the room or using striking wallpaper to make an impact. Add a patterned rug as an anchor, and install pendant or wall lights if floor lamps are too bulky. And utilize vertical…
