best this WEEK
1 PATSY’S PAL
Actress Patsy Kensit, 55, made our hearts melt recently, when posting this fluffy photo of herself and fur baby, Bowie, giving him a kiss before she went on holiday! The mum-of-two (humans) captioned the post to her Instagram following: ‘Off skiing saying goodbye to my fluffy baby boy Bowie... Will be home soon my darling.’ Aww!
2 Who wowed the crowd?
Helen, Oprah and Brie struck gold in gorgeous purple hues
It was a Purple Reign at the Golden Globes with Dame Helen Mirren, 78, wowing in a statement Dolce &Gabbana gown. Presenter Oprah Winfrey, 69, looked a bombshell in a bold, bodycon style by Louis Vuitton, while actor Brie Larson, 34, showcased her figure in a lavender promstyle gown by Prada.
3 THE RETURN OF DOWNTON...
Rejoice! ITV is allegedly in talks for the return of its hit period drama, Downton Abbey (starring Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael and Michelle Dockery), since being off screen for eight years!
While talks are reportedly still in the early stages, the rumours swirling are that ITV bosses hope to return to the screen by the end of 2024!
4 A family affair...
Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy made a rare appearance with his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, and their 16-year-old son, Aran, at the Golden Globes – and isn’t he the spit of his A-lister dad! The 47-yearold, who won the award for his leading performance, went up on stage to accept his speech, with red lipstick all over his face after enjoying a celebratory kiss from his wife! He kicked off his acceptance by asking, ‘Oh, boy. First question, do I have lipstick all over my nose? I’m just going to leave it.’ What a fab family...
5 A SUNNY OUTLOOK
Looking for a little pick-me-up that won’t break the bank? Our deputy lifestyle editor Helen Pike (aka Helen Grows best), has found a ray of sunshine through this BE HAPPY (grow me) sunflower kit, £4.99, from Amazon. Containing seeds, a label, a small pot and enough compost to get you started, Helen’s seedlings are gradually emerging with the help of a sunny windowsill by a radiator. So if you want a slice of nature, it couldn’t be easier to get growing.
6 Fashion throwback
Claudia has mastered the monochrome look, but these days the fringe and eye-liner are done to perfection
Claudia Winkleman, 52, has been rocking the monochrome look for years. Yet, while her chic white blazer and black dress at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards back in 2015 made a style statement, we certainly prefer her more recent, polished to-perfection look of a striped top and black trousers. And it’s fab to see she’s still sporting her iconic fringe and timeless black eye-liner!
