You might typically associate them with wet and windy weekends in the countryside, but a pair of corduroy trousers have become one of the top trending styles to wear this autumn – even if you’re not getting more rural than the park. If you’re looking for a great pair to add to your wardrobe, Emma Louise Connolly has tracked down a super stylish and easy to wear pair from Boden.

The model shared some snaps of her and her children dressed from head to toe in Boden pieces on Instagram recently, and one recurring item she was wearing was the Kensington Cord Trousers. Although they come in a very autumnal tan shade, it was the deep forest green colourway that Emma was wearing, and you can currently save 15% when you use the code WXVK.

The Kensington Cord Trousers are priced at £119, although using the discount code means you can save £17.85, letting you snap them up for £101.15. They come in petite, regular and long lengths and sizes four to 22, with the Boden website noting that the style is currently “selling like hotcakes”.

The petite length has a 28 inch inseam, whilst the regular is 30 inches and the long is 32 inches. Corduroy is a deceptively luxe-looking material that brings instant warmth as well as some subtle texture to your autumnal outfits, and you can easily style them for both casual and slightly dressier occasions.

They have a wide leg fit that’s slim at the hips and thigh, and a high rise that sits at the natural waist, making them flattering and comfortable to wear. The Kensington Cord Trousers are perfect for keeping comfortable whilst running errands or heading out to lunch, but you could easily wear them with a platform heel and a fitted cardigan for a more evening-ready look.

We’ve spotted similar styles at Next, where the Cord Wide Leg Trousers are more affordable at £36, and come in regular and petite lengths with three colours to choose from; navy blue, tan and chocolate brown. Meanwhile M&S ’ Cord Wide Leg Trousers are £39.50 and also pegged as a popular choice amongst shoppers.

However Boden’s Kensington Cord Trousers have gotten some great reviews from shoppers, with one saying they’re: “Fab – the best pockets!” and added: “Amazingly comfortable – front pockets big enough for a phone! Waist felt tight initially but they stretched and are now perfect. I bought long and can wear with sneakers at 179cm. I have a smaller waist and larger hips and they are very flattering for this body type. (Size guide told me to buy a 10, but I bought 8L and it is perfect).”

Whilst another said they were “beautifully made” but added: “Historically usually am a 10 but recently Boden trousers have been coming up large. Now order 8s and had to exchange one pair for a 6! Recently bought the tartan pleated wool culottes in an 8. Fitted perfectly and gorgeous. These do come up smaller; tighter but won’t upsize to 10 think they will be too big.”

Other shoppers also mentioned that the sizing was a little off on the Kensington Cord Trousers, writing: “Bought these in a size 6 and found them a little too tight in the waist. For reference, I’m 5’8 with a 28 inch waist. If the next size up were sold out, I could theoretically deal with it, but I expect corduroys to be comfortable. I love the quality of the pants and the color, though, so I’m returning and purchasing a size 8. If the sizing weren’t off, I’d give these 5 stars… but it is, so I’m deducting a star.”

However others didn’t find any issues, with one saying: “Great fit , bought in size 14, long. Little bit roomy but very comfortable. Colour is just fantastic. Can’t wait to wear it.”

It has been no secret that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz haven’t been seeing eye to eye with the Beckhams and now they’ve taken another dig at his family

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have made another dig at the Beckhams amid their public feud. Nicola took to her Instagram story to celebrate a family event, but none of the Beckhams were involved.

The actress and her husband, Brooklyn, both went to the special birthday party as they celebrated their godson. Nicola posted a snap where Brooklyn can be seen smiling as she wrote: “Happy birthday to our perfect godson Xander. We’re so proud of you, we love you so much!”

She then shared another photo of a brightly coloured birthday cake which read the words: “Happy birthday Xander!” Brooklyn then reposted the snaps on his own Instagram story.

This comes as Brooklyn recently snubbed brother Romeo’s birthday. The Beckham family stepped out to celebrate his 23rd birthday last month with a swanky London party, but his brother Brooklyn was noticeably missing amid the bitter family feud.

Romeo, who turned 23 on September 1, had already celebrated with his family in a low-key fashion earlier as the clan enjoyed an Italian family getaway. Not only did Brooklyn not appear at his brother’s birthday celebrations, but he also failed to send him a happy birthday message on social media.

Brooklyn and wife Nicola’s feud with the Beckhams has been well documented since earlier this year, as rumours started to swirl after fans noticed Brooklyn failed to show up at family events and acknowledge milestones such as his parents’ birthdays.

Tensions between the brothers came to a boiling point as it was reported that Brooklyn had unfollowed his brothers on social media in July. But a source close to Brooklyn later claimed that Brooklyn and Nicola did not unfollow the brothers and had “no idea” about it until he read about it online.

Victoria has now reportedly decided to draw a line in the sand amid her ongoing feud with her eldest son and daughter-in-law, a source told us. The Spice Girl-turned-fashion mogul has shared “the challenges and triumphs that have defined her” in her new Netflix documentary.

A source claimed that Posh surprised herself by how emotional she became while filming the documentary, especially when it came to unpacking her role as matriarch of the Beckham clan. At one point in the trailer, a tearful Victoria confesses she just wants “my kids and David to be proud of me”.

The source said: “She found it very emotional but liberating at the same time. It made her realise how much she is loved, how her family have supported her and got her through the ups and downs.

“It was very much a roller coaster of emotions because of the big thing that’s still affecting her, her fractured relationship with Brooklyn. But it also made her realise that she can’t keep raking over the heartbreak of this situation with him, enough is enough, now.”

The TV star, aged 56, shared a key ‘takeaway’ after taking part in two fitness activities

Andrea McLean shared with her fans that she feels ‘knackered in a good way’ after attempting two new fitness activities. Although the former Loose Women star was initially anxious to start, she managed to proceed at a pace that was comfortable for her.

“So, this is the face of someone who has been to a weight training class and then did two hours of padel,” the 56-year-old explained on Instagram yesterday. “This is what knackered looks like.

“But one of the reasons I thought I would do a little video about it is because I am just really happy that I could. Really happy that I joined a weight training class and walked in thinking, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to do this,’ and, ‘Everyone is going to be really good and I don’t know anybody.’ And actually, I could do it at my level, and everyone was really nice.”

Later, she added: “It’s nice to feel knackered in a good way, and that’s my takeaway.” Andrea’s fitness update comes almost a year after she suffered flu-like symptoms before collapsing in the bathroom last December.

When rushed to the hospital, medics explained that she not only had acute kidney injury and sepsis but severe pneumonia too, losing ‘80% capacity’ in one lung.

Recounting the ordeal on Substack, Andrea said she stayed there for several days and was completely overwhelmed by the bright lights, yelling, screams, and almost constant ‘smell of poo’. Yet, even once she returned home, things didn’t go back to normal.

In March, she collapsed on the bathroom floor for a second time after getting out of bed ‘too fast’. While Andrea didn’t explain whether her fitness habits halted amidst these incidents, in May, she said she hadn’t felt confident exercising for a very long time.

A few months ago, she also wrote on Instagram: “I hadn’t been confident enough to go back to the gym, so I’ve just been doing it on my own, and that actually makes me feel really sad to say it out loud, that I wasn’t confident enough to go into a gym and do my little app workout.

“[It’s] because I was so, so far from the fit person that I was, and I don’t know, again, it’s such a weird thing to explain if you’ve not kind of lost all your fitness and all that kind of thing and then you’re starting again.”

Unsurprisingly, the celebrity’s more recent fitness post was quickly flooded with several supportive comments from fans. Among them, one person said: “You are an inspiration to so many people especially me. Carry on doing what you love.”

Meanwhile, another person wrote: “Good to see you smiling, glowing and a good knackered,” as someone else said: “You look well Andrea. Loving the sunshine I’m sure.”

Singer Anne-Marie announced her son’s name for the first time as she sat down for a chat with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on Tuesday’s This Morning.

The singer gave birth to her son with her husband Slow Thai earlier this year, but has kept the name private since. However, after questioning from Cat, Anne Marie revealed she had called her son Forever Sugar.

Explaining the reason behind the name, the star shared: “His name is Forever. Forever Sugar. Sugar is his middle name because I had the diabetes thing when I was pregnant.

Explaining where she got the first name Forever from, the singer added: “My nan used to sign off every card with Always and Forever, all the time.

“Now my mum does it and my sister does it, and I just think Forever is a cool name!”

Just over a year prior, the singer gave birth to her first daughter, Seven, with her husband. Speaking on the sibling relationship, Anne-Marie told Ben and Cat: “She treats him like he’s her age. So she doesn’t really get that he’s super tiny.

“She gets really excited, they love each other and just stare at each other.”

Anne-Marie, 34, and 30-year-old Slowthai – whose real name is Tyron Kaymone Frampton – have been married since 2022 – and had kept fans updated along their pregnancy journey with both children.

Meghan Markle attended the Balenciaga runway show at Paris Fashion Week, and while she alluded to being invited by the creative director, he has now told a different story

Meghan Markle sparked headlines around the world with her dramatic, surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week for the Balenciaga show.

It was the first time the Duchess of Sussex had travelled to mainland Europe in two years, stepping out to support recently appointed designer Pierpaolo Piccioli as the brand’s creative director by attending his Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear show.

At the time of the show, a statement from Meghan’s spokesperson said the duchess was close to the designer, saying her presence was “the culmination of many years of artistry and friendship”. However, Piccioli has now instead referred to Meghan’s appearance at the show as a “beautiful surprise”.

Discussing Meghan’s trip to Paris – and her two divisive outfits – he told The Cut : “Meghan and I met some years ago, and we’ve been texting ever since. She reached out and said she’d love to come to the show.” He added: “There was no strategy or big orchestration”.

The designer then added: “I didn’t tell anyone she was coming because I wanted it to stay a surprise. In fashion, real surprises are rare, and this one was beautiful”.

Ahead of Meghan’s appearance at the Fashion Week showcase, her spokesperson said: “Over the years, the duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage,” adding how Meghan is “supportive” of his “new creative chapter at Balenciaga.”

In a video captured from backstage at the Balenciaga show, Meghan was left a little red faced after she attempted to lean in for a kiss with the Italian designer, only to hit her head on his sunglasses .

As she leaned in to greet Picciolo and congratulate him on his collection, she seemed to hit her nose on his dark sunglasses. However, aware that the cameras had captured their awkward embrace, Pier appeared to laugh off the disjointed encounter and pulled her in for a photo.

A body language expert revealed how the awkward clash went down, and says it was actually Piccioli who caused Meghan to accidentally butt heads with him.

Judi James told The Mirror : “It was Piccioli who created the ‘cringe’ moment for poor Meghan, getting way too close to greet and speak to her, leading to a lack of reading her non-verbal cues when they air-kissed, leading in turn to a nose-clunk when they each aimed in the wrong direction.”

Analysing the footage of their encounter, Judi continued: “When the photos were over though Piccioli moved in for a close-quarters hug with Meghan, whose immaculate white outfit that was so carefully arranged should have warded off any form of grabbing and squeezing.”

A woman has been convicted of murder and practising medicine without a licence after a BBL procedure led to the death of an actress – and it isn’t the first time she’s been caught

A woman known as ‘The Butt Lady’ has been found guilty of murdering a TV star after a botched silicone injection session.

Libby Adame was already on probation for an involuntary manslaughter case involving buttocks injections when she fatally administered the jab to Cindyana Santangelo, an actor who appeared in ER and Married … with Children.

The 55-year-old was convicted by a Los Angeles jury of second-degree murder and practising medicine without a license after 58-year-old Santangelo died from a fatal embolism caused by silicone injections Adame administered in the star’s home, The Independent reports.

In California, second-degree murder carries a mandatory minimum of 15 years, practising medicine without a license can add up to three years, and the special allegation of causing great bodily harm adds three to six years to Adame’s sentence.

Adame’s defense lawyer J. told jurors that Adame was only consulting on behalf of licensed doctors and didn’t actually perform the fatal procedure on Santangelo, the LA Times reports.

He also argued that Santangelo already had bandages on her buttocks when Adame consulted with her, suggesting someone else performed the fatal procedure, according to NBC4 Los Angeles. Adame denied that she administered the injections.

At the time of Santangelo’s death, Adame was on probation for a 2019 involuntary manslaughter case involving the fatal buttocks injections of 26-year-old Karissa Rajpaul.

Rajpaul’s death was ruled a homicide caused by acute cardiopulmonary dysfunction and silicone injections. Investigators said the women, presenting themselves as specialists, mixed safe cosmetic substances with dangerous chemicals.

Santangelo, best known for her roles on Married… with Children and ER, had a history of substance abuse but had been sober for several years.

Her husband, Frank Santangelo, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Adame, claiming his wife was “killed in the prime of her life in her own home.”

During the trial, Frank Santangelo testified that his wife appeared to be breathing normally before meeting with Adame, but later struggled to breathe on the massage table and was bleeding from both butt cheeks.

He claimed Adame told him, “This has never happened to a client of mine before,” mentioned she might have something in her car to help, but then packed her bag and never returned.
