BLOND AMBITION Canada’s Sangita Patel turns heads with a Beyoncé-inspired new look Sangita Patel is kicking off 2026 with a dramatic transformation! The Toronto-born TV personality surprised her Instagram fans with a striking platinum-blond look, later revealing that the bold switch-up was courtesy of a wig. “Yesss, my inner diva slash Beyoncé,” she joked, sharing photos from a glam shoot that came together just in time for her Jan. 2 birthday – and giving Hello! Canada readers an exclusive peek at these unseen images (which also feature her dog, Indie, top). “Getting older is a gift, truly precious,” wrote the former ET Canada host, 47, who was diagnosed in 2024 with a rare and aggressive form of thyroid cancer. Miraculously, she responded well to treatment and is now cancer-free, though…

GEORGE CLOONEY Mourns loss of his only sibling, Ada George Clooney shared the heartbreaking news that his sister, Adelia “Ada” Zeidler, passed away at age 65 just a few days before Christmas. “[She] was my hero,” the Hollywood superstar, 64, told People. “She faced down cancer with courage and humour. I’ve never met anyone so brave. Amal and I will miss her terribly.” Ada – who was rarely seen in public – attended her brother’s star-studded Venice wedding to Amal in 2014. VENUS WILLIAMS Tennis icon says ‘I do’ to her actor beau Venus Williams, 45, wed Italian actor Andrea Preti, 37, in a multi-day Palm Beach, Fla., celebration, following an intimate ceremony in Italy three months earlier. The couple first met at Milan Fashion Week in 2024. Maid of…

Once relegated to weekend errands and après-ski layering, knitwear has officially entered its main-character era. This season, classic winter staples are getting a high-fashion overhaul, with playful sets, novelty yarns and statement embellishments that feel anything but casual. Case in point: Bryce Dallas Howard’s two-piece argyle ensemble by Rowen Rose – a reminder that knits can command the spotlight just as effortlessly as traditionally glamorous materials, such as silk and satin. The secret is in the details: body-skimming ribbed dresses, oversized cable patterns elevated with polished accessories, and cashmere pieces that balance comfort with confidence. Whether it’s a cardigan paired with sharp tailoring (à la Alexa Chung) or a minimalist top-and-skirt set worn with statement heels (think Yara Shahidi), today’s woollies define quiet luxury. Winter dressing has never looked –…

Abbey Sharp’s Guide to Sustainable New Year Nutrition Abbey Sharp shares evidence-based strategies for building sustainable habits, ditching restrictive diets, and nourishing Canadians through her Hunger Crushing Combo Method. Many Canadians set ambitious health goals in January but struggle to stick with them. What nutrition habits do you believe are the most realistic and sustainable to focus on in the new year? The reason why most people can’t stick to their new years diets is because we are biologically and psychologically wired to fight against restriction. So we need to shift our mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance. That’s why I wrote the Hunger Crushing Combo Method. Instead of thinking about what we need to restrict or remove from our diet, we focus on adding fiber, protein,…

‘MY HEART IS VERY OPEN AND I FEEL VERY HAPPY’Jann Afew days into the new year, Jann Arden took to social media with a series of photos highlighting her “many hats,” from singer-songwriter, actress and podcaster to bestselling author and dog mom. “It’s missing ‘fiancée,’” quipped Thordis Elva, the woman who stole Jann’s heart last spring and has been her soulmate ever since. The cute exchange came shortly after Thordis, 45, shared the exciting news – on New Year’s Eve – that she and Jann, 63, were engaged. Writing simply, “She said yes,” with ring and heart emojis and tagging her future wife, the Icelandic author and activist shared photos of the couple snuggling up together, wearing matching black T-shirts printed with the words “Jann Arden’s Wife” (for Thordis) and…

‘SHE’S FULL OF HEART. SHE’LL BE A QUEEN WHO REALLY LISTENS, WHO LEANS IN’Podcast host Giovanna Fletcher Stepping out several times in the final weeks of 2025 for much-loved Christmas celebrations, the fashionable Princess of Wales endeared herself to everyone she met with her unwavering grace, compassion and radiant smile. For royal fans, it was a sight to behold, given Kate’s difficult few years putting on a brave face for her three young children and worldwide admirers as she battled serious health issues. She made 2025 her transition year by announcing that she was in remission and joyously returned to the public spotlight with a positive outlook, renewed energy and exciting new projects focused on love and living a happy life. As the new year unfolded, so, too, did Kate’s…

Every birthday is special, but when it’s divisible by 10, the celebration somehow feels bigger. As some of our favourite Hollywood and Canadian stars step into a new decade, many are embracing the milestone with renewed confidence. “I’m just getting started,” Lady Gaga said while accepting the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. “Even though the world might consider a woman in her late 30s old for a pop star – which is insane! – I promise I’m just getting warmed up.” The chart-topper will celebrate her 40th this year. Fellow icon Cher, meanwhile, is turning 80, and has no plans to slow down. “I will still be wearing my jeans, and I will still be wearing long hair, and I will still be doing the same stuff…

She was a pop-culture icon whose influence was unmistakable long after she quit the movie industry at a young age. More than a screen legend, Brigitte Bardot embodied a carefree spirit and effortless allure that reshaped ideas of beauty, freedom and femininity. After her passing on Dec. 28 at age 91, France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, led the tributes. “We mourn a legend of the century,” he wrote, honouring a woman whose image and attitude became inseparable from modern French identity. A SHINING STAR Born in Paris in 1934, Brigitte was trained in classical ballet from childhood, developing the poise and grace that would later become part of her undeniable screen presence. Early modelling work brought her in front of the camera, and it wasn’t long before filmmakers took notice. Her…

January has long been synonymous with fresh starts – a new diary, cleaner eating, healthier habits. Now, that same reset mentality is shaping the way we approach skin care. Increasingly, celebrities are embracing a pared-back beauty philosophy, proving that even with access to every treatment and product imaginable, restraint can be the ultimate luxury. Canada’s own Pamela Anderson has spoken openly about her preference for a pared-back routine. “My skin’s always been sensitive,” she has said. “But over time, it’s become more reactive. I’ve found that simplicity is so important.” Victoria Beckham has echoed that sentiment, describing her regimen as highly edited: cleanser, a targeted treatment, moisturizer and SPF. The emphasis isn’t on additional products – it’s on consistency. That logic becomes especially relevant in winter. Cold air, indoor heating…

Winter invites slower days, cozy routines, and a renewed focus on self-care to set good habits for the year ahead. Yet it’s also a time when many of us feel out of sync: stress builds around the holidays, sleep often suffers, and our bodies’ natural detox processes tend to slow down. Though easy to overlook, these basic rhythms play a large part in determining how healthy we feel day-to-day. How rested we are, how resiliently we respond to daily pressures, and how effectively we eliminate waste all play a part in maintaining balance and being well. When those rhythms falter, the impact on our body is significant. Poor sleep diminishes mood and immunity. Persistent stress drains focus and energy. Sluggish elimination can contribute to feeling heavy, bloated, or fatigued. While…

It was an outing of firsts when Gwyneth Paltrow attended the New York City première of her new movie. After a seven-year hiatus, the Oscar-winning actress, 53, was delighted to be making her Hollywood comeback in Marty Supreme, which marks her first dramatic film role in more than a decade. She was accompanied by her cheering squad – daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19 – whom she shares with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The trio – who had never walked the red carpet together before – were all smiles, with lookalike Apple oozing vibes from Gwyneth’s Tinseltown “It” girl era in her mom’s vintage black Calvin Klein tank dress. In Marty Supreme – which is already proving to be an awards-season favourite (see opposite) – the Goop founder plays…

After nearly a decade of playing Sergeant Lucy Chen on The Rookie, Melissa O’Neil is just as happy as she was on Day 1. “There’s always something new to discover,” she muses. “It’s much like life. You [live your life] every single day. You brush your teeth. You go to work. And sure, it might [seem] mundane, but you’re also encountering things that are fresh and new to you.” Born in Calgary, Melissa approaches her life in a mindful way, meditating, playing music, sewing and staying present, while maintaining a busy and successful acting career in Los Angeles. Sitting down with Hello! Canada, the 37-year-old star speaks of all things with a wide, warm smile and sincere joy – particularly her hit TV show. “I’m just so excited for The…

Kim Cattrall GET THE LOOK If there’s one thing Kim Cattrall understands, it’s how to make classic dressing feel quietly powerful. At The Fashion Awards in London, the Sex and the City actress delivered a masterclass in modern tailoring, stepping out in a crisp black-and-white Mithridate ensemble styled by longtime collaborator (and SATC costume designer) Patricia Field. Fringe details, a softly draped ivory scarf and a gold “M” brooch added movement and personality. Kim, 69, grounded the outfit with open-toed Gucci heels, punctuated by the house’s signature horsebit hardware. Completing the look was the ultimate accessory: her devoted partner – now husband – Russell Thomas, 55. The duo, who tied the knot last month, proved that timeless style only gets better with confidence – and a little love.…

Once upon a time, the Duchess of Sussex made a New Year’s vow to “leave room for magic. To make my plans, and be OK if they sometimes break,” she wrote on her now-defunct blog, The Tig. “To set my goals, but to be open to change.” As it turns out, Meghan was on to something – and not just because she met husband-to-be Prince Harry six months later. The new way to approach resolutions – and actually keep them – is to do less. “When we try to overhaul too much at once, the prefrontal cortex – responsible for decision-making and self-control – becomes overloaded,” says Toronto-based wellness leader and solution-focused life coach Eva Redpath. That overload quickly leads us back to old habits. (No wonder the majority of…

1. NEW MUSE French brand Jacquemus has tapped Montrealbornmodel-turnedactress Charlotte Le Bon for its latest handbag campaign, with results that are equal parts chic and cheeky. Fresh off her role in The White Lotus, Charlotte brings her signature wit to a series of playful short films spotlighting The Valérie, a bag that’s part of the label’s spring 2026 collection and, poignantly, named in honour of designer Simon Porte Jacquemus’s late mother. 2. NEXT-GEN HEIRLOOMS As the son of Canadian fashion designer Joseph Ribkoff and founder of newly launched jewelry brand Studio Rybko, Raphaël Ribkoff knows a thing or two about form and function. For his first collection, named Goog, the star finds inspiration in the shape and geometry of the egg, producing fluid, organic pieces made with solid gold and…

Joining a cast featuring screen notables such as Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore may seem daunting to some, but Michelle Randolph makes it look easy. “It’s so surreal,” says the California native, 28, who plays free-spirited teen Ainsley Norris on neo-western drama Landman (now in its second season). “I feel really lucky to work with people who I have looked up to for so long.” Also an alum of Yellowstone prequel 1923 – featuring Harrison Ford and Oscar winner Helen Mirren – Michelle certainly has found a place among Hollywood’s elite. “These actors elevate everything that they’re in,” she says. “I’ve learned so much. I feel like, being on 1923 and now Landman, I’ve gotten a masterclass from some of the best people. I’m really lucky.” Here, Michelle –…
