Victoria Beckham braved the rain as she stepped out in Paris ahead of her fashion week presentation in the capital on Friday.

The fashion designer, 50, was shielded from the downpour by a member of staff carrying an umbrella as she left her hotel to head out into the city.

Victoria was wearing a £1245 ‘Paddington Bear’ duffle coat from one of her collections, which she revealed she picked up at her Dover Street store.

Posh styled the jacket with pair of her signature flared jeans and heels, while otherwise keeping her stylish look simple.

She wore her highlighted locks in soft waves and opted for a light pallet of glowy make-up for the daytime outing.

The helpful man was dressed in a grey suit with a shirt and tie and appeared to be someone who worked at the hotel VB is staying in.

The Spice Girls singer was then seen hopping into a car which was parked up outside, which was presumably taking her to her next appointment.

Before heading out, Victoria uploaded a video to her Instagram Stories discussing her outfit choice.

She said: ‘I’m here in Paris and it’s a very rainy day. I am loving this new coat. I got it from my store in Dover Street the other day.

‘It’s like a cute little Paddington Bear coat from the last collection. It’s got a great hood on it and I love it.

‘I’m wearing it today with my Alina jeans in dark resin, my favourite jeans, and my B frame belt.

‘I love this coat. It’s perfect for a rainy day in Paris.’

Victoria arrived in the city earlier this week ahead of her fashion week show which will take place on Friday.

Last night she looked effortlessly stylish sporting wide-leg denim as she was captured returning to her hotel.

She was once again dodging the raind as she was escorted with an umbrella to the entrance, rocking a minimal white T-shirt from her own brand.

Would you consider purchasing a designer item from Victoria Beckham’s collection?

Victoria kept it typically fashionable adding white stiletto heels and oversized squared shades, as she returned after a gruelling day of fittings and preparations.

Just earlier in the day, Victoria rocked the same ensemble as she embraced long-time pal Eva Longoria in a sweet photo taken at a fitting.

The long-time friends cuddled up close for the photo, which was taken in front of a poster of a Victoria Beckham marketing campaign.

Victoria was joined by her sons Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, and Romeo, as they both are both in the French capital to support their mum’s epic collection.

Brooklyn, 25, rocked grey trousers with a black long-sleeve T-shirt and a matching cap as he was snapped alongside Nicola, 29.

The American actress put on a very radiant display beaming to cheering onlookers as the couple were seen making their way to their hotel.

Nicola stunned in a black leather coat and fur scarf as she bundled up against the chilly weather, adding denim and towering black chunky platform heels.

Elsewhere on Tuesday, Romeo made a fashion statement as he stepped out to enjoy the Parisian’s night life.

The footballer, 22, was snapped out and about after spending the evening at Costes – and he proved he just has his mum’s fashion taste.

He sported a very stylish leather biker jacket from Lamborghini, teamed with baggy denim and a vibrant orange L.A. cap.

The internet star also hid behind black shades, as Romeo finished off with a pair of All Stars trainers.

It comes just weeks after Romeo has reportedly left his Premier League football club Brentford FC to focus on a career in fashion.

Romeo landed in Paris with Victoria just days after his trip to Miami with dad David, 49, to watch Inter Miami take on New York City.

But  the Brentford FC footballer has reportedly decided to pursue a completely new career.

According to The Sun, the midfielder was offered a new contract by Brentford FC in June to stay on with their B team.

But it appears Romeo is hoping to follow in his mother’s footsteps as he signed with top Paris fashion agency Safe Management.

Romeo is no stranger to the fashion world, having starred in a Burberry campaign when he was just two years old.

He also regularly shows off his incredible sense of style at A-list events.

A source said: ‘Romeo has decided to hang up his football boots and devote his time to his fashion career.’

‘He has loved his time at Brentford but needs to focus his attention on fashion, which is where his passion lies.’

‘Romeo has recently signed with a top fashion agent in Paris and has his sights set on working with some ­massive brands.’

MailOnline previously contacted representatives of Romeo Beckham for comment.

A promising prospect in his youth, Romeo drifted away from football after being released by Arsenal in 2015 and turned his attention towards a tennis career.

However, Romeo announced he intended a return to football in 2020 before joining dad David’s MLS franchise Inter Miami the following year.

Romeo would go on to make 26 appearances for the club’s reserve side, netting twice and notching 10 assists in the MLS Next Pro league during his final season in the USA before he joined Brentford B on loan in January 2023.

The Spice Girl, 50, arrived in the city earlier this week ahead of her show, which will take place on Friday after months of hard work.

Victoria has been preparing for debuting her collection at Ready To Wear week, and it appeared on Thursday that the pressure may be building.

The fashion designer looked ready to put the finishing touches on the collection she headed out of her Paris hotel in a chic ensemble for the outing.

She looked as stylish as ever in a black vest, tailored trousers and stilettos, as she carried a chic brown leather shoulder bag and gripped her phone in her hand.

There was a discussion on Loose Women today in which the panelists on the ITV show discussed non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as lip fillers, amid calls for more regulation

Carol McGiffin made fans do a double take as she showed what her face would look like with a face full of fillers on Loose Women on Thursday.

The panellist, 62, looked dramatically different as she displayed a plump pout and cheeks in the selfie while the panel discussed whether people should need a prescription for lip fillers, amid calls from some MPs for there to be more regulation over them.

Turning to the popular Instagram face filter, Carol admitted she found the look “disturbing” as she shared her own experience with going under the knife with the panel.

She said: “I’ve had a facelift as everybody knows [but] I haven’t had all of that work done that was in [that picture]. That is a very, very disturbing look for me.”

Carol added: “It’s an app or a filter […] that my friend used when he came over to stay to see what I would look like if I went too far.” She then shared her thoughts on the topic.

The television host said that it’s “worrying” young people aspire to look that way, though suggested that a requirement for a prescription might not be the best way to address such issues.

“There should be definitely more regulation. I think there should be an age limit [and] consultations for people to make sure they haven’t got any dysmorphia,” she said.

(

ITV)Carol said there’s a “lifelong cost” associated with investing in cosmetic procedures to stay youthful, expressing concern over what happens if you’re unable to do so.

She asked: “When you can’t afford that cost anymore what happens to your mental health if you look in the mirror and see a wrinkle? It’s really quite worrying actually.”

The presenter wasn’t alone in worrying over such cosmetic procedures, with Charlene White, 42, sharing concern over young people feeling pressured to have them.

The discussion also saw Denise Welch, 64, ask Katie Piper, 38, if she thinks people who have cosmetic procedures are “superficial” – due to having reconstructive surgery herself.

Cosmetic procedures were among the topics discussed on the ITV show this afternoon (

ITV)Katie replied: “Short answer is no I don’t. […] I think it’s such a complex thing.” She later stated that she agrees that there should be more regulations for procedures like fillers.

It comes after the Health and Social Care Committee said dermal fillers should be made prescription-only, in line with Botox, and proposed minimum training standards.

It is already against the law in England for anyone to inject Botox or fillers for “cosmetic purposes” to a person who is under the age of 18. Campaigners want further regulation.

A government spokesperson told The Mirror: “We brought forward an amendment to the Health and Care Act 2022, which gives the Health and Social Care Secretary the power to bring into force a national licensing scheme in England for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including dermal fillers, to ensure consistent standards are met.

“The licensing scheme will make it an offence for anyone in England to carry out specified non-surgical procedures without a license and we will set out further details in due course.

“The UK’s regulatory body on medicines and healthcare products (MHRA) is responsible for the regulation of medical devices and intends to bring in more stringent rules for certain aesthetic and non-medical products – including dermal fillers – under the UK medical devices regulations.”

Both current and former staff working for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been speaking out about what it is really like to work for the couple – and also revealed a detail about the emails that Meghan sends

Staff working for Meghan Markle have revealed a detail about the emails she sends to them as a row has erupted about what it is like to work for her and Prince Harry.

Since moving to the US four years ago, the pair have earned a reputation for having a high staff turnover at their Archewell organisation. And just last week, there were allegations that Meghan “belittles people” and “doesn’t take advice” with claims it has earned her the nickname “Duchess Difficult”.

The allegations were made in industry bible, the Hollywood Reporter, with its co-editor-in-chief saying the claims came from a very high-up source who works for the couple. However, several current and former staffers have also spoken out of their experiences of working at Archewell and hit back against the claims, with one letting slip something they say Meghan includes on every email she sends.

It comes after one big claim made by the Hollywood Reporter in their damning piece on Meghan is that she fires off “angry emails at 5am to employees”. However, one unnamed current employee told US Weekly they’ve never heard Meghan yell and that she “gives clear direction and is solution-oriented”. They also claim that Meghan’s email signature reads: “My working day may not be your working day. Please do not feel obliged to reply to this email outside your normal working hours” – proof, they feel, that she wasn’t demanding.

One of the most notable people to also speak out in US Weekly is Josh Kettler, who lasted just three months in the role of Harry’s chief of staff before his departure last month.

Eyebrows were raised when the seasoned public relations professional left his role after just weeks after he was reportedly hired to “guide him [Harry] through his next phase”. News of him stepping down came on the eve of Harry and Meghan’s high-profile trip to Colombia.

Mr Kettler, who had previously been chief of staff and head of strategic partnerships at the communication platform Cognixion, revealed that he was “warmly welcomed” by both of them and their Archewell team. He added: “They are dedicated and hardworking. It was impressive to witness.”

Another staff member who also talked to the magazine is the couple’s current global press secretary Ashley Hansen, who says her bosses could not be more supportive. She explains that she was forced to take time off work following a serious surgery – and was afterwards inundated with supportive phone calls, care packages and flowers from Meghan.

She said: “When I told them, I was met with the kind of concern and care a parent would express if it were their own child.” She added: “Most profoundly to me, Meghan would personally reach out to my husband daily to make sure that we both were OK and had support. It meant so much to him and even more to me. You don’t realise how much that kind of kindness and thought means until you need it.”

Meanwhile, others say they’ve been “dumbfounded” by the latest “Duchess Difficult” claims with one anonymous staff telling the magazine: “This is the first company I’ve worked [where I] liked every person. Harry and Meghan picked the best of the best from every field and watered the seeds for them to flourish. We have an enormous microscope on us. But good things are happening.”

Fans of The Masked Singer are furious that pop sensation Rita Ora has been replaced with Love Island’s bombshell host Maya Jama for the sixth season of the madcap gameshow

ITV have sparked a backlash among The Masked Singer Fans after replacing Rita Ora with Maya Jama.

The hit family entertainment show is due to return to screens in 2025 but filming for the new season is underway. The show originally had a line-up of judges consisting of singer Rita, 33, along with talk show host Jonathan Ross, 63, presenter Davina McCall, 56, and South Korean-American stand-up comedian and actor Ken Jeong.

Ken bowed out of the show in 2020 and was replaced by comedian Mo Gilligan, 36 – and this year it was revealed Rita was exiting the show after five seasons. On Wednesday it was announced that Love Island host Maya, 30, is replacing Rita – but this has sparked a backlash with some fans.

The bombshell host is respected by many for her presenting skills, but there are many fans who fear a musician would have made a better replacement for I Will Never Let You Down singer Rita. Fans taking to social media have slammed ITV’s decision to strip the panel line up of the one music star they had.

Rita has teased a tour and new album

One outraged Masked Singer fan wrote on Reddit: “I still don’t think this was the right choice, but what you gonna do. Should have been a singer or someone with musical experience.” Another agreed, writing: “So on a singing show, there isn’t a single judge that’s a singer?”

However, others argued the show is pure entertainment, rather than a singing contest. One defensive fan hit back at the criticism to write: “Everyone stressing… this isn’t a singing competition!!!! It’s about guessing who the person singing is – RELAX.”

Maya herself has explained how thrilled she is to be joining the series – which will continue to be hosted by hunky presenter Joel Dommett. Maya gushed to Radio Times: “I’m such a Masked Singer fan, so joining the panel alongside Davina, Jonathan, and Mo — and of course working with Joel — is going to be so much fun!”

She added: “I can’t wait to figure out who’s underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings,” she added. “I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!”

While Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment & Daytime Commissioning at ITV said: “The Masked Singer is back and promises to kick off 2025 with a bang. TV’s favourite guessing game welcomes the sensational Maya Jama who will be joining our expert detectives, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Mo Gilligan all alongside Joel Dommett. We can’t wait.”

Earlier this year, Rita revealed she is working on a new album and planning an album. She told The Sun in July: “I’m definitely touring with this new record that I’m going to put out next year. I wanted to change it up. All the festivals I’ve been doing this summer have been so much fun. Getting to perform live is my favourite part. I hate the studio. I love seeing the crowd and I really connect with the energy. The tour is the only reason I put music out.”

On Wednesday night, BBC viewers saw the first instalment of the broadcaster’s new comedy-drama Ludwig, starring David Mitchell as the anxious puzzler John Taylor.

BBC fans were all saying the same thing on Wednesday night as the first episode of Ludwig aired on BBC One.

The new comedy-drama follows David Mitchell’s character John Taylor who is forced to visit his sister-in-law Lucy Betts-Taylor (Anna Maxwell Martin) in Cambridge.

While there he learns his twin brother DCI James Taylor has disappeared as Lucy explains a case he was working on before his vanishing act made him act differently.

Explaining he didn’t come home one night, she showed John a cryptic note her husband left giving her instructions to leave immediately with their son.

However, ignoring his request to flee, Lucy asks John to take on his twin’s persona and pretend to be a police officer to try and get to the truth.

Although he was at first hesitant, John agreed as his puzzling skills allowed him to see the letter his brother left was filled with secret messages.

The first episode of Ludwig aired on Wednesday evening on BBC One
It wasn’t long before fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the new comedy drama with many left distracted over the music.

One person said: “I think they’ve made their point with the Beethoven.”

Another commented: “Quite enjoying #Ludwig but the constant music is bad enough without every bit being mangled Beethoven.”

Someone else wrote: ” #Ludwig Not sure if I’ll be able to tolerate the jaunty. Up. Beat. Comedy score support. For. Much. Longer…”

“Oh ffs! Is that irritating ‘this is a comedy romp’ music going to be constant & underline fact it’s called … #Ludwig,” fumed another.

John found himself impersonating his brother
One person commented: “#Ludwig music is rather annoying. Apart from that good.”

While someone else demanded: “Can we please stop with the music !! #Ludwig”

However, it seemed as though the majority of viewers enjoyed the new show, with many admitting they were going to binge the episodes on iPlayer.

During the episode, John found himself part of the major investigations team and tasked with solving an unrelated murder while impersonating his brother.

Will John discover the truth about his brother’s whereabouts?Although with his excellent puzzling skills, John discovers he’s extremely good at solving crimes, prompting him to continue impersonating his brother to find out where he is.

A synopsis for the next episode reads: “While on his way to the station to gather more information about his brother’s last case, John finds himself drawn to another grisly crime scene at a grand Manor House but what looks to be a missing person’s case turns into something far more sinister.

“Lucy sets out on a fact-finding mission at the home of one of her husband’s ex-colleagues.”

A mysterious new track – initially believed by many fans to be sung by Justin Bieber – has gone viral on social platforms with lyrics saying the singer ‘lost myself at a Diddy party’

Rumours about a viral song that many believed Justin Bieber had sung have finally been debunked.

The mysterious track first surfaced on social media platforms in April and resurfaced again earlier this month, amid the news of Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ arrest. The hip-hop musician, 54, has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution and denies all charges against him.

The song sounds like it was released by Justin with lyrics saying the singer “lost myself at a Diddy party” – but there is no record of Bieber ever releasing the track. As Justin breaks his cover for the first time since the rapper’s arrest, researchers have revealed the song was likely created using artificial intelligence (AI).

The debunked lyrics, in what appears to be an opening verse, are as follows: “Lost myself at a Diddy party, didn’t know that’s how it go, I was in it for a new Ferrari, but it cost me way more than my soul, wasn’t worth all the fortune and fame.” However, as clarified by the fact-checking site Snopes, there is no concrete evidence to substantiate the song’s existence.

Now, CBS News has run the track through multiple AI audio detection tools and spoken to experts who have confirmed the audio, or at least parts of it, are likely AI-generated. Stephen Stahl, co-founder of Ai-SPY told the publication he believes someone wrote the lyrics and melody, then uploaded it to an AI website and used a clone of Bieber’s voice.

“AI is [going to] be able to help anybody create a song easily, quicker, more efficiently,” Stahl said. “The downside is that everybody will be able to create a song. So talent is no longer a prerequisite to construct a great song.” Zohaib Ahmed, CEO and founder of Resemble AI, also said the song is likely generated by AI.

Ties were formed between Justin and Diddy right from the start of the Canadian pop icon’s entrance into the music world at the age of 15, after he signed with Usher’s record label, becoming part of the Caught Up entourage.

Footage taken back in 2009 shows the pair discussing spending the weekend together. In the video, Diddy said: “He’s having forty-eight hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”

Combs went on to explain: “I have been given custody of him. He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.”

When asked what he wanted to do, Bieber told Diddy: “Let’s go get some girls.” Diddy then replied: “Man after my heart. That’s what I’m talking about.”

At the time of writing, Justin hasn’t publicly commented on the charges Diddy is facing. But a source close to the singer, who recently welcomed son Jack into the world with wife Hailey Bieber, told People that the new dad has been ‘in a happy bubble’ since the birth of his first child, and ‘just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband’.

Combs was arrested in a Manhattan hotel, six months after federal authorities raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Over the past year, he has been sued by several people who claim physical or sexual abuse, including his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, who has accused Combs of rape and a decade-long pattern of abuse that began when she was 19 years old.

Combs ‘vehemently denied’ Cassie’s allegations last year and has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The grand jury indictment documents seen by The Mirror details allegations dating to 2008 that he abused, coerced and threatened women for years “to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct”.

He is accused of enticing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances dubbed “freak offs”. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said outside the courthouse on September 17: “Mr Combs is a fighter, he’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He’s not afraid, he’s not afraid of the charges.”

Loose Women star Kelly Brook has revealed that she previously received an invitation from shamed music mogul Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs to attend one of his parties but was told to not to go

Loose Women star Kelly Brook has revealed that she was once invited to a party hosted by rapper P Diddy but her former partner advised her not to go.

The 44-year-old appeared as a panellist on the hit ITV show, following her fourth-place triumph on Celebrity Race Across the World. Sitting alongside Loose Women stars Brenda Edwards, Charlene White and Denise Welch, the ladies quizzed Kelly on how she felt doing the programme alongside her husband, Jérémy Parisi.

But the conversation quickly turned to ex-partners and whether Kelly had spoken to Jérémy about her former lovers. This then led the model to divulge information on an invitation her ex-partner told her to refuse.

She said: “I felt like in my younger years I was kind of always pursued by older men and ended up in relationships with older men. So you know we talk a lot about that a lot as well.

“And there was a particular actor that I dated many many years ago that was very protective over me and I spoke to Jeremy about this a lot because it’s still relevant now and for example, I got invited to one of those Sean Combs – Puff Daddy parties many many years ago and my boyfriend at the time said ‘you’re not going to it.’

The Loose Women stars spoke openly about former partners
“He was a well known actor that had been in the industry for a very long time and I was taking it as him being possessive and controlling and not wanting me to have fun. I was like ‘Why can’t I go everyone is going to be there, everyone goes to these parties.’

“But he said ‘You’re not going to go’ and nothing more was said about it. Years later I found the invite in his drawer in his office.”

Denise added: “He was looking out for you.” Kelly agreed and said she reflected on the situation with her husband recently.

Music mogul Sean P Diddy Combs recently pleaded not guilty to all charges against him after being arrested on 16 September. There are currently three charges outlined by the Southern District of New York (SDNY) in a legal indictment which are racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Since a number of allegations have been made even from singer and ex-partner Cassie, rumours have continued to swirl regarding his infamous parties. Combs has denied all charges.

Vernon Kay made a surprise admission about the start of his relationship with Tess Daly on Thursday’s Loose Women.

During the latest instalment, Vernon, 50, sat on the panel with Martin Kemp, Judi Love and Denise Welch in a Loose Women vs Loose Men crossover.

One of the topics on Thursday was “when did you tell your partner ‘I love you’” to which Vernon, who married Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly in 2003, said: “I’ll be honest with you, it was early on!”

Vernon added he was around 25 and trying to be a model, recalling: “We met at a BBC Christmas party!”, adding: “We hit it off straight away. I had a bit of an issue, financially, at the start of our relationship.

“I had, remember switch cards? Well, the one below that, was the solo card. I had a solo card that kept getting rejected as I was skint, I was absolutely skint as London’s expensive.

“I was a bit younger and I think we were on our sixth or seventh date, she had decided: ‘Right, if this one, if I’m paying for the sixth or seventh again then I think it’s time to kind of have a word…’

“Thankfully, I had a bit of cash and I managed to pay for dinner. It was only a few weeks later, I was like: ‘Oh my God, she’s amazing this woman’ and that’s when I said I love you. I knew straight away.”

Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to praise the panel shake-up on Thursday with Vernon and Martin. One person said: “LOVE this line up today #Loosewomen” while a different viewer said: “#LooseWomen love vernon and martin.”

It comes after Tess gave a rare insight into their home life earlier this year. The TV stars share daughters Phoebe, 19, and Amber, 14, and as you would expect, a house with teenagers is never easy all the time.

Tess spoke to OK! Magazine about what goes on in their Buckinghamshire mansion and praised Vernon as a brilliant dad, saying he’s the strict one when it comes to their kids.

Vernon married Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly in 2003“As a mum, I just want to be as present as I can be. I pride myself on that,” Tess told OK! “Teenagers don’t always want to talk to you, but even if you’re just physically there in the room with them… I’ll plonk myself there quietly in the corner. You’ve got two little people who have become young adults. It’s amazing and constantly rewarding. I love being a mum – it’s my most important job.”

She went on: “Vernon is a great dad – he loves them to bits. I don’t know if there’s a good cop, bad cop, but maybe he’s a little stricter sometimes. But it’s for the greater good and we’re a good team. I’m proud of how down to earth they are. That’s what you want – kids who are kind and who have a good work ethic and respect people. You just try to mould good humans.”
