Mary-Kate Olsen hints at plans to make her own bridal gown for wedding to Olivier Sarkozy

Mary-Kate Olsen has hinted she might make her own wedding dress. 
The 27-year-old fashion designer - who previously worked on a bridal gown for a friend with her sister and design partner Ashley - hasn't thought about what to wear for her own big day since getting engaged to Oliver Sarkozy in March, but has toyed with the idea of creating a dress herself. 
She told WWD: 'I'm not even there yet. I think it may be a matter of getting five or six, or making two or three and being stressed out. That seems kind of far away. We'll take one step at a time.'

The Olsen sisters are preparing to open the first standalone shop for their The Row label in their hometown, Los Angeles, after deciding against their adopted city of New York.
Mary-Kate said: 'We've always wanted our own store - it's always been part of the plan.
'It was a toss-up between New York and Los Angeles, and when this space became available, we jumped on it. It used to be a hair salon and my sister and I used to come here, so we were very aware of the space.'
Ashley chimed in: 'We are from here, and The Row started here, so it was all very appropriate.'

The store is tucked away in Melrose Place and unusually boasts a swimming pool in the courtyard, as well as offices where the sisters will work. 
Mary Kate added: 'We have all 170 pieces in our collection represented here. A lot of stores obviously don't buy the whole collection, maybe 20per cent, so this is really the place where we can present it like a showroom.'
Mary-Kate revealed her engagement to French banker Olivier Sarkozy in March.
Olivier, whose half-brother is former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, has two children from a previous marriage - ten-year-old daughter Margot and 12-year-old son Julien.

Louise Thompson shows off her glowing orange skin tone at Vision Express product launch

She had a certain zest about her as she arrived at the Oxford Street branch of Vision Express on Tuesday evening – and it had nothing to do with the Heston Blumenthal product launch she was attending.
Indeed, Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson appeared to be a rather vibrant shade of orange as she posed for photos, a pair of spectacles from Heston’s new Spring/Summer range balanced on the bridge of her nose.
The 24-year-old reality star’s skin tone had certainly darkened since her last public outing just six days previously, at the Ottoline store launch on London’s Portobello Road.

Space-age skincare formula created for astronauts that promises to slow down ageing

From Botox and lasers to Kim Kardashian's favourite vampire facelifts, it seems that we have entered a new era in the fight against wrinkles.
But the latest addition to the litany of unusual lotions and potions about to take the beauty world by storm really could be described as out of this world.
Renowned Harley Street plastic surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides has developed a range of products  in collaboration with two space scientists who worked on the Soviet Space Program, responsible for a number of pioneering accomplishments in space flight over 63 years.

Femail examines the dangers from sagging eyes to spots

Cheap, effective and, most importantly, quick, it is no wonder cleansing wipes have become a hit with busy women. They mean no more messing around with cotton wool or cream to take off make-up at the end of the day — you just wipe and go.
In fact, sales of cleansing wipes have doubled in the past year. But while this might be excellent news for beauty brands, it could be bad news for our skin, causing everything from spots to wrinkles.
Experts worry that wipes don’t effectively cleanse skin and, instead, smear dirt and make-up across it.
Worse, everything from the physical act of wiping the skin to the fluid the wipes are impregnated with can cause skin problems . . .
Although sales of cleansing wipes have doubled in the past year, they could be doing more damage to your skin than good

Would you spend $250 on a bottle of OLD nail polish? The discontinued shades commanding prices over TEN TIMES their original value

Rare, discontinued nail polishes are commanding prices up to ten times their original value on eBay.
Colors such as Essie’s Starry Starry Night and Clarins’s 230 are selling for up to $250 on the auction site, to nail polish-obsessives who call themselves lemmings.
Danielle Frazier, a 28-year-old artist from Brooklyn told The New York Times that the appeal in searching for old polish is its ‘treasure-hunt feeling. It’s got a lottery kind of effect.’

Time for a new hair style, Kate? Critics say it's too long and lank, and look what the wind did yesterday! So what should she do...

There comes a moment in every woman’s life when she has to consider a drastic change of hairstyle.
With a baby to care for and less time to spend on her trademark chestnut-brown locks, could that moment now have come for the Duchess of Cambridge?
Certainly Britain’s most famous tresses were not looking their best yesterday when Kate, sporting a £225 LK Bennett dress and jewels worth nearly £11,000, visited a West London school in her role as patron of The Art Room charity.

Her usually glorious mane was less thick than is customary, perhaps a clue that, like many new mothers, she is shedding some of the hair she gained thanks to her pregnancy hormones.

Gaby Roslin: 'Why I'm proud of my wrinkles' 49-year-old says the more you mess with your face, the more it catches up with you

When you’re a woman approaching 50 in showbiz, how do you avoid going down the Botoxed-to-the-hilt route? Gaby Roslin has a convincing – if chilling - answer.
‘Losing three friends to cancer in 18 months kind of helps you get a bit of perspective on these things,’ says the TV presenter. Especially, she adds, when one of those friends made her feelings about Botox known just before she died.
‘My big revelatory moment came just over three years ago when I was in Selfridges with Rachel, one of my dearest friends,’ she says.
‘We used to go shopping when she’d had a bout of chemo and on this day we were having a laugh trying on the wigs. This woman walked past – one of those ones, you know, face set as if she’d been caught in a wind-tunnel – and Rachel got really angry. 
Even without Botox, Gaby Roslin doesn't look remotely 49. She is something of a rarity in TV Land though

‘She said, “I’ve got poison in my head, killing me. I’m never going to get wrinkles because I’m not going to live long enough. Yet she’s injecting poison into her head just to keep herself looking young.” I’d never thought of it like that, but she ended her rant by saying, “Don’t ever do it, Gaby.” So I won’t. I’m not convinced it works anyway. After a certain point, you just look odd.’

Jackie O tweets orange face after losing 'spray tan bingo'

Jackie O was looking a lot more tanned than usual in a photo posted on Twitter this week.
The radio star's over-the-top faux glow was the result of a prank played by her co-host Kyle Sandilands.
The KIIS 106.5 breakfast presenter was forced to endure layer upon layer of fake tan being sprayed on her face if she answered a series of trivia questions incorrectly.
That's a bit much! KIIS FM breakfast show host Jackie O endured several layers of spray tan on her face as part of a comedy skit on The Kyle & Jackie O Show

However the game wasn't exactly played fair, since the questions Kyle quizzed her on were rather obscure.
