He and Stefani made their romance official in 2016 and married in 2021 after meeting as judges on The Voice, but for both, this wasn’t their first time saying “I do”.

Ayurveda has been popular in the global spa and wellness industries for years – treatments such as shirodhara are a mainstay in luxury spas – while Ayurvedic doctors are becoming more prevalent in the West, even as the lack of evidence for the system’s efficacy means modern science remains broadly unconvinced.

Unlike some celebrities, Hart is more vocal about his children than most. From roasting them in his stand-up specials to regularly sharing photos of the whole family in matching outfits on Instagram, his journey through fatherhood has been as authentic and open as it’s possible to be.

But the real stars of the show were her three children, who surrounded her, cheered her on and suddenly seemed all grown up. Her husband Blake Shelton reiterated their importance in her life, and his speech at the event had the “Don’t Speak” singer in tears. “The first time that I ever met Gwen was in 2014.

But casting is a long and arduous process, with several interested parties in the filmmaking process all vying for their personal choice of actor or actress to play a particular role.

In fact, at 50, she could easily be mistaken for a 30-year-old. Her 24-year-old actress daughter, Lily Mo Sheen (who she shares with ex Michael Sheen) could pass for her sister. However, while some stars end up resorting to cosmetic procedures and embarking on “fad” diets to achieve evermore youthful complexions, it appears the secret to Beckinsale’s success lies in not overthinking things. “I don’t actually think about it [her... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/beauty/wellness/article/3241478/how-kate-beckinsale-looks-half-her-age-50-underworld-actress-and-mum-1-works-out-eats-clean-stays?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/beauty/wellness/article/3241478/how-kate-beckinsale-looks-half-her-age-50-underworld-actress-and-mum-1-works-out-eats-clean-stays?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 16 Nov 2023 12:00:33 +0000 From golfing sensation Paige Spiranac to the basketball-playing Cavinder twins, TikTok has given rise to a new generation of young up-and-coming athletes who have gone viral for their playful approaches to sport.

Couples who had made plans for their big days have been forced to change them by reducing their guest count and opting for more intimate affairs – or cancelling them altogether. It’s not surprising, then, that, amid lockdowns and social distancing, online searches for wedding dresses have been going strong in 2021. According to a report that analyses wedding search trends from the past year, released by search engine Google and... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3146431/five-most-searched-celebrity-wedding-dresses-2021-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3146431/five-most-searched-celebrity-wedding-dresses-2021-and?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 28 Aug 2021 04:15:12 +0000 Leonardo DiCaprio has come a long way in 20 years – leapfrogging from Romper Room and Friends to becoming a Hollywood A-lister and, at the same time, acquiring an impressive real estate portfolio that could make Ellen DeGeneres envious. Just a few of his properties include Madonna’s former home in LA, that he snapped up in the 1990s, Dinah Shore’s fabulous Palm Springs home that he bought in 2014, and a US$23 million Malibu home he grabbed in 2017. But not all of his buys stay in his portfolio –... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3142281/leonardo-dicaprio-just-bought-modern-family-stars-home?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3142281/leonardo-dicaprio-just-bought-modern-family-stars-home?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 24 Jul 2021 21:00:26 +0000 Remember when every other celebrity suddenly decided to launch their own fragrance? We’re talking about the 1990s and early 2000s, although some continued the trend for a while longer. Back to the present, there’s a new category catching the interest of the stars: welcome to the era of celebrity beauty brands. From make-up to skin, hair and body care, more and more celebrities are launching their own beauty brands – and it doesn’t look like the trend is going to end any time soon, although it’s... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/fashion/article/3127944/its-note-enough-celebrities-put-their-names-beauty?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/fashion/article/3127944/its-note-enough-celebrities-put-their-names-beauty?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 01 Apr 2021 20:15:10 +0000 The bindi is worn by everyone from Indian village women to Bollywood stars and international celebrities. It is both a fashion statement and a religious, cultural, and political symbol. Placed in the middle of the forehead, it can be anything from a demure red dot to a jewelled ornament, and conveys a wealth of information about its wearer. The word bindi comes from the Sanskrit word bindu or drop, and it denotes a woman’s mystic third eye. According to yoga experts, this mid-forehead point is... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3123091/how-bindi-dot-forehead-indian-women-became-fashion?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3123091/how-bindi-dot-forehead-indian-women-became-fashion?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 01 Mar 2021 12:15:15 +0000 Pop icon Gwen Stefani was recently diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disorder related to reading and language, at age 51. Stefani discovered her condition while seeking support for her three sons’ learning difficulties (dyslexia has hereditary aspects). The No Doubt frontwoman told Good Morning America that her sons “have these incredible teachers and schools and they don’t have to have shame about it” while reflecting that her own undiagnosed dyslexia had affected her self-esteem for... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3117533/did-you-know-cher-jennifer-aniston-and-gwen-stefani-are?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3117533/did-you-know-cher-jennifer-aniston-and-gwen-stefani-are?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 13 Jan 2021 06:11:37 +0000 In recent years K-pop has exploded in popularity around the world, but in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where the music has a large fan base, the naughtiest chart-topping hits – full of double entendres and sexy dance moves – have raised Islamic eyebrows. Such songs have been branded “mind-corrupting”, or budaya kuning – literally “yellow culture” – a catch-all term for most forms of Western culture, including foreign pop and rock music. Malaysia’s younger generation is obsessed with K-pop. But... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3116962/blackpinks-ice-cream-without-sexual-overtones-malaysian?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3116962/blackpinks-ice-cream-without-sexual-overtones-malaysian?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 10 Jan 2021 05:15:10 +0000 The importance of Islam and Islamic culture in Malaysia has helped stereotype the country as a tough place for music, which is considered haram – forbidden – by Muslims. Female artists especially have found this to be true, and many international pop stars, from Gwen Stefani to the Pussycats Dolls and Beyoncé, have experienced Malaysian conservatism for themselves – from being fined to having to cancel their shows in the country. That is not to say that there are no popular female singers in... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3113560/14-malaysian-music-queens-you-should-hear-alena-murang-yuna?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3113560/14-malaysian-music-queens-you-should-hear-alena-murang-yuna?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 12 Dec 2020 05:15:08 +0000 The staff of Comic-Con International knew it was coming, but that didn’t stop the tears. In mid-April, San Diego’s prized event was called off because of Covid-19. It made sense, considering 135,000 attendees jammed into the Convention Centre gave it the potential to become an epic super-spreader event. “We had to break the news to everybody that we wouldn’t have a show,” said Comic-Con spokesman David Glanzer. “I will be very honest with you, there was some crying.” But then something happened.... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3093926/comic-con-goes-online-can-keanu-reeves-charlize-theron-and?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3093926/comic-con-goes-online-can-keanu-reeves-charlize-theron-and?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 20 Jul 2020 18:30:12 +0000 Before Covid-19, the occasional “work from home” day was something of an infrequent luxury. Nowadays, it's the norm. According to the latest Gallup Panel, 62 per cent of Americans say they have worked from home during the crisis, a number that has doubled since March. It was an adjustment for many, especially those who were so used to “face time” in its original meaning. As we navigate what seems to be the winding down of self-isolation, the same Gallup Panel says that three out of five workers... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3093625/need-zoom-your-video-conference-call-look-during-work?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3093625/need-zoom-your-video-conference-call-look-during-work?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 19 Jul 2020 07:00:18 +0000 When Elon Musk and his partner, alternative rocker Grimes, named their son X Æ A-12, his name became one of the most searched topics on Twitter. However, giving mathematical symbols for a name is hardly the first time famous couples have take liberties with their children's’ names. Here are celebrity couples who have given their offspring the most outrageous baby names. Can you tell the difference between these celebrities and their kids?

I know I do. For those of us who love clothing as artistry, there’s nothing like disappearing into a sumptuous outfit extravaganza. The past few years have brought us some gems in that department – take a look at Black Panther, The Favourite, Little Women and Phantom Thread if you missed any of them. I went a bit further back, however, to find some glorious eye candy.

It’s no myth, it’s a reality that all and sundry have succumbed to over the years. The aim is to get the perfect set of pearly whites, a smile that will put the paps and their flashes to shame. There are many ways to achieve this and celebrities such as the Jenner sisters, Tom Cruise, Emma Roberts, Zac Efron, Cardi B, and so on... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3076722/cristiano-ronaldo-tom-cruise-emma-watson-and-4-more?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3076722/cristiano-ronaldo-tom-cruise-emma-watson-and-4-more?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 24 Mar 2020 18:00:16 +0000 The 2020 Grammy Awards were filled with tributes to Los Angeles icons, celebrating the lives and legacies of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and rapper Nipsey Hussle, who won his first Grammy posthumously on Sunday night (January 26). The Grammys kicked off with a performance in honour of Bryant, who died just hours before the awards began. And later in the show, Hussle’s collaborators and friends, including DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill, Kirk Franklin, Roddy Ricch and YG, gave an all-star tribute to... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3047795/bts-joined-lil-nas-x-while-kobe-bryant-and-nipsey?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/news-trends/article/3047795/bts-joined-lil-nas-x-while-kobe-bryant-and-nipsey?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 27 Jan 2020 09:38:26 +0000 Twenty years ago, Jennifer Lopez shut down the Grammys red carpet with her now-legendary barely-there Versace green dress, open to her navel, that sent the internet into a full meltdown. How can anyone beat that? Well, the music industry’s brightest stars certainly gave it a go, strutting their stuff on Sunday night (January 26) at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. White was a big trend, along with strapless gowns – and super-long glittering nails.
