The Golden Globes are back and a fashion stylist to the stars has revealed the best way those in attendance can make a positive impact on the red carpet – and it’s not getting naked

One of the biggest nights in the showbiz calendar is upon us, and celebrities are preparing for a “scary” evening. The 83rd Golden Globes Awards ceremony is taking place at the Beverly Hilton in California tonight (Sunday, January 11) and famous faces will be out in force.

But while all eyes will be on the likes of Timothee Chalamet inside the venue as he hopes to bag the prestigious gongs, outside is where eagle eye viewers will hope the real story lies. For the red carpet of such an iconic event is always a surefire way to make a statement.

And for one celebrity stylist, we can expect political statements to be front and centre. The previous naked trend, however, could be taking a backseat.

Fashion Stylist Sarah Nearis told the Mirror ahead of the bash: “I think over the years we’ve been seeing a lot of the naked trend which always draws a lot of attention but we have definitely been drawing away from that. I feel like that is a safe go-to for anyone who wants a lot of eyes on them.

“In heightened times, especially now, some may use the red carpet to make a political statement which of course can be a hit or miss. But, I believe wearing your heart on your sleeve is a beautiful thing.”

She went on to say such events allow fashion and style to be a way for celebs to make an impression without having to speak and called them a “perfect platform”.

“It’s a representation of your essence, confidence and personality,” she said. “Fashion is a beautiful way to represent yourself and take risks. It can be scary if you step outside your comfort zone but there is growth in that too.”

When it came to offering her own advice to those readying themselves for their big moment, Sarah said: “As a stylist, the advice I would give to make a statement this year is to wear what makes you your most confident, have some fun with it and make it your own.

“I am a huge lover of vintage and I love seeing when celebrities choose to wear vintage or previously worn pieces styled differently. Just wear what makes you feel sexy and confident and the rest will speak for itself. Don’t try and follow trends or lock yourself in a certain box.”

The words and advice come after fans praised Helen Mirren as she picked up a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Eve celebration. The actress, 80, was a vision in pink and turned heads as she wore a custom, long-sleeved, figure-hugging Stella McCartney dress.

She joined the likes of fellow award winner Sarah Jessica Parker at the event in Beverley Hills. It was a precursor to the Golden Globes. She was presented with her special gong at the ceremony by Harrison Ford.

The actor went on to recall the first time he worked with the actress on 1986’s The Mosquito Coast. He later reunited with her again for the Paramount+ series 1923.

The main Golden Globes ceremony will be hosted for the second time by comedian Nikki Glaser. Last year’s ceremony threw a number of surprises at viewers when it came to the winners.

Emily Atack has shown off her slimmed down physique on social media, prompting fans to congratulate the star on her new look as the speculate over how she lost weight

Emily Atack has drawn attention from fans after posing for a string of slimmed down snaps shared to her social media platforms. The TV star initially built up a following by championing body confidence but her new physique hasn’t escaped her fans.

On Instagram this weekend, mum-of one, Emily, 36, posed in a black shirt and jeans to take a mirror selfie showing off a new hairstyle. With her trademark humour and charm, she captioned the image with a simple statement, writing: “Bobviously” while holding a hand behind her quaffed hairstyle.

The image and caption drew a range of responses from fans who were quick to compliment her on her bob – while many others made comments about her changing figure.

One wrote online: “See a lot of these ‘body positive’ celebs have changed their tune since weight loss jabs came out.” Another added: “These celebs have fooled you, now they are all taking injections and are proud to show us how well they have done.” While one commented: “And the innovation is called Ozempic, I presume?”

But most were all praise of the star’s looks. One wrote: “She looks lovely either way. She’s very lucky.” Another backed this thought up and write: “She’s a beautiful woman regardless of weight. Her newly revealed cheekbones are fabulous! Good for you Emily.”

While further recent photos taken over Christmas and earlier in December showed Emily with a trim waistline, and posing in an outdoor bathtub with her toned back on display. While fans complimented Emily on her glowing complexion, others questioned if the star – who welcomed a son named Barney with fiancé Alistair Garner 19 months ago – had changed her outlook on body image.

Having championed a natural figure, some fans have questioned if the star may have turned to weight loss injections such as Wegovy or Mounjaro to slim down. But those close to the star have suggested she will remain silent over the speculation, with the Daily Mail quoting a friend telling them: “She is acutely aware of what is her business and what is not.” The Mirror has contacted a representative of Emily for comment.

Since bursting into the spotlight in 2008 as Charlotte Hinchcliffe on the Channel 4 comedy The Inbetweeners, Emily has frequently discussed her unease over having her figure analysed. Having taken on the role as a teen, Emily played Charlotte simply as a teenage school girl, and has expressed discomfort over the way she was sexualised as ‘Big Jugs’ on the show and by its fans.

She has also taken aim at social media trolls who have critised her appearance online, while defending herself as a size 10 – 14. The star won respect in 2018 when she appeared as a contestant on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! where she was able to give viewers an insight into the real her, and prove herself as more than a sex symbol.

She previously told the Daily Mail of her time in the jungle: “My whole life, people have been telling me what they think I should do. Maybe I should lose a stone, dye my hair brown, do a play. But that’s boring. I wanted some fun in my life again; I was noticing how the industry was changing and that people were coming out of I’m A Celebrity and doing really well, so after turning it down three times, I finally said yes.”

Discussing her desire to appear on the show, she continued: “I really wanted to break that stereotype. I thought I needed to almost reinvent myself and show that there is more to me than a pouty face and a pair of boobs.

“The irony of it was that, my whole life, I’d been striving to be sexy when in fact being what I really am – a wobbly-arsed, freckly-faced, fun girl – is what makes me feel happiest and most comfortable. I was so amazed and thrilled that this is what gave me all the success I’ve always striven to have. [I’m A Celebrity] taught me a way to love myself without all those things. If I’m having a bit of a down day or I’m struggling, I do try to get back to that person in the jungle, to who I really am deep down.”

She also hit out at those who discussed her figure, stating: “My weight has always been a ‘thing’. I’ve been a size 10 or 12, a 14 every now and then. I love food and I love wine. Other actresses are tiny, I was always the bigger girl at castings and it never troubled me.”

She added: “But if I go out and I feel nice then a photo gets put online and everyone starts saying that I’m fat, it’s really difficult. There are worse things in life but, as a woman, having your weight criticised is rough. It shocked me when I was younger because I’d never ever had a weight issue. I never thought I was fat, I thought I was fine.”

Emily has been a champion of fighting for more realistic figures in the mainstream in the past – opening up to Stylist in 2018 that she felt shops and adverts sold an unrealistic image of beauty. She told the publication: “I always used to notice how thin the mannequins were in shops, and when trying clothes on and it didn’t look like that on me. It makes you feel like you’ve failed in some way. I thought I didn’t look as I should, which is just so sad.”

Emily has also won praise for her campaign work to improve the treatment of women, having been targeted by sick individuals online. She has opened up about the sexually explicit images she has been sent, unprovoked, by strangers and has campaigned for laws to be strengthened to outlaw such behaviour.

And she braced herself for more toxic encounters after appearing in the BBC drama Rivals in 2024 – not least because she was involved in a scene where she played tennis while naked. She told The Times: “I should be able to do a scene like this and not receive negative attention. The two should not go hand in hand. A woman said to me on Instagram the other day, ‘Pick a lane. You can’t play a racy role like that and get your clothes off and expect not to get messages. Why would you take that role?’ And I wanted to say to her, ‘Are you telling me essentially to quit my job?’ Why should I? Women have to change their clothes; we have to change our routes home. I’m a professional. I’m never going to please everybody.”

Oprah Winfrey has always been open about her battle with her body and as she promotes her new book on weight loss she defends plus size people

Oprah Winfrey has claimed that obesity isn’t caused by overeating as she opened up about her lifelong struggle with her weight.

The 71-year-old talk show host, who weighed over 16 stone at her heaviest, previously shared how making fun of her size became a ‘national sport’ in America, where she was once cruelly labelled ‘bumpy, lumpy and down dumpy’ by a fashion critic in the Nineties.

Oprah recently lost four stone thanks to weight loss jabs, after realising obesity is a ‘disease’ that she couldn’t fight without help and has gone on to write a book about her journey titled, ‘Your Health, Your Weight and What It’s Like To Be Free,’

In a new interview with PEOPLE magazine as she promoted her new book the TV icon said: “I came to understand that overeating doesn’t cause obesity. Obesity causes overeating. If you have obesity in your gene pool, I want people to know it’s not your fault. I want people to stop blaming yourself for genes and an environment you can’t control..”

Shortly before the self-made billionaire appeared on a cover of Vogue in 1998 she said editor Anna Wintour ‘gently suggested’ she lose 20 pounds (around one and a half stone) – something she achieved.

Describing her ‘epiphany’ in 2023, Oprah shared she had put off using medication to lose weight as she believed it was “my responsibility to fix”, believing that “willpower was my failing”. She said: “I thought it was about discipline and willpower. But I stopped blaming myself. I’m not constantly punishing myself. I hardly recognise the woman I’ve become. But she’s a happy woman.”

Revealing she would now be on medication for life, which she combines with healthy eating and exercise, Oprah said that finally having a medical solution after years of yo-yo dieting “felt like a relief . . . a gift”.

Detailing her struggles with weight and food, Oprah shared thati no matter what she did her body would try to get back to 211 pounds (15 stone), even when she only ate one meal a day and went on 10-mile hikes.

This is what expert and her co-author Dr Ania Jastreboff calls the body’s ‘Enough Point’, a set weight your body maintains based on environment and genetics, no matter what diet or exercise routine you follow.

Now her weight has stabilised thanks to weekly weight loss jabs, which she says are “a tool to help you manage the messages that are being sent to your brain about overeating”.

She shared: “Sometimes I can go 10 or 12 days [in between jabs] because I still feel the effects of the week before. I had some digestion issues, so I have to drink enough water, and I have to take magnesium. The trick is to start slow and gradual. If you start by taking too much at one, you have more of a chance of messing yourself up”.

Oprah added the absence of food noise has “given me a quiet strength that comes with everything I do. Everything is just calmer and stronger.”

The Duchess of Sussex has been busy reshaping her career as a lifestyle influencer with her brand As Ever and Netflix shows, but one expert has warned she could be making a huge mistake in 2026

View 3 Images

Meghan Markle has been issued a stark warning about her brand’s prospects this year, as speculation grows around her upcoming business plans.

The Duchess of Sussex spent 2025 shaping her career as a lifestyle influencer, launching her brand As Ever, debuting her Netflix programme With Love, Meghan, and introducing her podcast series Confessions of a Female Founder.

Recent reports suggest Meghan intends to concentrate on her lifestyle brand in the coming months, with claims she’s been developing a cookbook – expected to arrive this spring. However, a PR pro has delivered a 12-word caution to the Duchess, emphasising she must prioritise one crucial element to cement her position in the industry.

Renae Smith, founder of PR and branding firm The Atticism, told the Express: “A lifestyle brand without a lifestyle point of view doesn’t go far.” Ms Smith warned that should Meghan maintain her present approach, her brand is unlikely to achieve substantial growth moving forward.

She explained: “From a PR perspective, if she continues on the current trajectory (sporadic product drops, mixed messaging, and a lack of clarity between personal, commercial, and cause-driven work) then 2026 could feel like more of the same: weird visibility, pockets of fan engagement, and very little long-term brand equity being built.”

“If As Ever is going to be a core focus, she really needs to professionalise it. That means structure. Seasonal drops are fine, but not when they’re surrounded by long silences or conflicting statements. She needs a clear calendar, consistent storytelling, and a stronger sense of what the brand stands for beyond aesthetic nostalgia. A lifestyle brand without a lifestyle point of view doesn’t go far, at least not in any meaningful way.”

On the subject of the Duchess’s reported cookbook project, she continued: “Now, if she’s serious about doing a cookbook, I think that could work for her fanbase, if it’s positioned correctly. Not just another influencer-style product, but something rooted in story. Draw on her family history, culinary rituals, and cultural influences.

“If executed with warmth and authenticity, it could be a smart way to reposition herself as more grounded and connected to something real. But the execution would need to be watertight: tone, visuals, media rollout, the whole thing. If we were advising her, the first thing we’d say is: Stop thinking in moments. You don’t need to say yes to everything. Start building a narrative. Create brand rhythm and strategy. Pick a lane and commit to it.”

It comes as Meghan is reportedly planning to return to the UK for the first time in four years. The Duchess is set to visit one of the Invictus Games events in Birmingham on July 10, if the couple’s security is approved. It would be her first time back since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

Rylan Clark was inundated with messages of support from his BBC Radio 2 listeners as he and his mother, Linda, updated them about the incident

Rylan Clark’s mum is suffering from a “fractured shoulder” after taking a tumble outside of her Essex home. Linda Clark, who has appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside the host, said the fall happened after she mistook ice for water while putting her rubbish out.

Speaking live on air to Rylan on his BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday, she told listeners: “I just went flying and I hurt my arm again.”

After the presenter confirmed it was a fractured shoulder, Linda, 72, said her arm was “black” from all the bruises and “so sore”.

Addressing the moment he found out about the accident, Rylan continued: “Well that was a lovely phone call I got that morning, you on your way to the hospital.

“But it could’ve been worse, it could’ve been your arm and your leg like we’ve had before.”

The 37-year-old went on to urge his mum to “be careful” and rest adding: “I need you to not make it any worse.”

In response, Linda said she “can’t do nothing” though had managed to put some washing on, much to his dismay.

After playing a song at his mum’s request, Rylan returned to thank listeners for their supportive messages.

He said: “So many of you getting in touch, thank you, yeah she is alright by the way.

“She’s fractured her shoulder, I just can’t help her, you know what she’s like, rushing around doing stuff.

“In all fairness though, it was an accident, she just slipped on some ice,” before reassuring fans that she is being well looked after as she recovers.

This isn’t the first time Linda has suffered with injuries in recent years.

Back in June, Rylan expressed dismay after his mum was charged for flip flops, following a fall down the escalators in a well-known store.

Speaking on air, he ranted: “They charged her £2.50 for the flip flops they gave her because her shoes were filled with blood from falling off their escalator!

“Like just have a bit of decency, this is a 70-year-old woman who fell down your escalators, I think you can swallow £2.50 for a pair of flip flops.”

Rylan went on to say that the incident thankfully happened before her “nightmare fall” during a holiday in Spain in 2023.

On the trip, she found herself in hospital once again after sustaining breaks to both her leg and arm. Unable to walk at the time, she was flown back to the UK on a private jet, lying on a stretcher with medical apparatus.

During that period, Rylan took a break from his work commitments to assist her through her surgical procedure and recovery period.

Two months later, he shared a picture of his mum at his Essex home for the first time since the accident, as they celebrated his birthday.
