Supermodel Bella Hadid recently shared her skincare routine and the makeup look she uses for her alter ego character, Belinda. The 28-year-old, who grew up in California, US, has worked with major fashion and beauty brands and fronted runways across the globe.

Although she has access to a plethora of luxury items, Bella swears by an affordable face cream that delivers what she calls a ‘dewy look’. Sharing on Vogue, she explained her day-to-day skincare routine – which includes the Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra Rich Cream. Shoppers can get her exact moisturiser in a twin pack for £29.90 LookFantastic.

“I’ve been trying to be an adult and do adult things like preventative creams,” she said. “Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra Rich Cream – I go throught eight of these, like, in a month and I buy them from CVS and I’m obsessed with them – I have the little versions, the big versions. So this is how I kind of get a good dewy look and I like to say this is really the best primer for me.”

While Bella is a huge fan, there are customers who have expressed their dislike for the scent of Weleda’s Skin Food Cream, with one adding: “I wasn’t aware that this cream has scent in it and unfortunately can’t tolerate and really bothers me as I use all unscented products, however my fiance loves it.”

The runway beauty then moved onto show her everyday makeup look and a more dramatic “Belinda” look. According to Bella, blush stops people knowing when she’s sick.

The star said: “My skin gets a bit off colour when I’m having a flare-up. People with immune system problems know it’s hard to explain, but when you have a flare up, you don’t know what day you’re going to not feel well. You’ll wake up and just look a lot sicker. I’ll put some blush on and people will think I’m not sick but underneath it all, I’m pretty sick.”

Inside the Mission Impossible Cannes premiere as Tom Cruise fans queue for over six hours

Eager Tom Cruise fans were sat outside of the Cannes Lumiere Theatre over six hours before the Cannes Film Festival premiere of his new movie, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning.

The movie premiered on Wednesday evening, with stars such as Eva Longoria, Bella Hadid and Andie MacDowell joining Tom, Hannah Waddingham and the rest of the film’s cast in walking the red carpet.

And while the A-list may have all casually rocked up for the 6:45pm kick off, many others got to the theatre that morning to get in the ‘last minute’ line – an area where those without tickets can wait and may be able to fill spare seats at the premiere.

But with the premiere’s strict black tie dress code, it meant the waiting fans spent all day under the French sun in tuxedos and gowns – with many sitting on the ground in their best ensembles.

On the other hand, the A-list guests were promptly escorted from their beachfront hotels – Hotel Martinez, JW Marriott, Carlton Cannes and Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, to name a few – in blacked-out BMW cars.

And while it may have looked glamorous from the glossy pictures, the red carpet wasn’t for the weak as crowds of fans flocked by the barriers to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.

Despite the carpet’s strict ‘no selfie’ policy, those lucky enough to get on there with the famous faces did sneak some snaps from the carpet.

Once they had walked the carpet and headed up the famous red stairs into the theatre, it was time for Tom and the rest of the cast to take their seat near the front of the screen, while successful fans who had waited outside for hours were escorted to the very back of the theatre.

The premiere came hours after the film’s cast gathered above the theatre for a photocall, with Tom waving to fans on his way into the building around 12pm.

Donning a burgundy co-ord, Tom smiled for pictures and said hello to the waiting crowds from a distance before chatting with his co-stars.

But making a much more understated departure, he and co-star Hannah Waddingham left through the side door and were promptly driven back to their hotels to prepare for the evening.

With a busy schedule, Mission Impossible is heading to London’s Leicester Square this evening for the global premiere. A number of famous faces are expected to attend, with Tom and the cast taking a quick trip from the Cote D’Azur to be there.

Malta’s Eurovision star Miriana Conte left ‘puking for days’ after song release

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 continues this evening with its second semi-final which includes Miriana Conte representing Malta with Serving, originally known as Kant

Miriana Conte has revealed she was left vomiting over the reaction to her Eurovision Song Contest 2025 entry. The performer, who is representing Malta, has also discussed what it’s like to take part in the global contest.

The singer-songwriter, 24, will take to the stage of the arena St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, tonight in the second semi-final of this year’s contest. She will perform her song Serving, originally known as Kant, and is among the acts hoping to make it through to the grand final on Saturday.

Kant, as it was then known, was selected as Malta’s entry in the country’s national final back in February, which was won by Miriana. The song, which shared its title with a Maltese word for ‘singing,’ attracted much attention earlier this year, including over the lyric “serving kant” in the chorus.

It was considered a reference to “serving c***,” which can be used to represent someone expressing themselves in a powerful or bold way, and Miriana’s pronounciation drew comparisons to “c***” too. Amid controversy over the song, she shared in March that she had been told to change the lyrics by organisers and ended up removing the word ‘kant’.

Miriana reflected on the controversy and lyric change in an interview with the Mirror. Whilst speaking to us, she also gave an insight into the writing process and how she found the reaction once her song was released.

Asked about the initial reception to the song, which is understood to have gone viral on TikTok, Miriana told us: “Honestly, I spent the first two days after it was released puking because I was not expecting such good like reactions from people. My phone was blowing up, it was telling me that the device is too hot, literally. Notifications, messages.”

Miriana gave examples of receiving praise over the “word play” and people relating to the track. She then shared that following her performance of the song in Malta’s national final three months ago, she had “so many beautiful messages”.

She commented: “[They were from] people who haven’t like, for example, exited the house because they’ve been body-shamed or they’re not comfortable in their skin, and they told me ‘when I saw you on stage, I fully went out after two years locked in my house’. So that was beautiful, because that was my intention from day one. For people to like relate fully and feel comfortable within themselves.”

Recalling the writing process, Miriana – who is credited as a co-writer on the song – admitted that she wasn’t particularly keen on joining a writing camp for potential entrants. She said: “I am a very anxious person when it comes to like sort of breaking the ice, because I’m always scared I’m too much, I’m too loud, I’m too bubbly. However, this experience did change me a lot, so that was Miriana before!”

And speaking about her plan for the song, she revealed: “I was like ‘I want to be me completely’. So I don’t want to go into the dark, sexy vibe I usually go for. Because there’s so much more to me. I’m such a bubbly ball of energy.

“I’m all over the place. I’m the clown of the group. I’m the loudest person in the room and I wanted to write exactly about that. How growing up I always felt like I needed to wind myself down to match other people’s energies. [My co-writers] got the assignment fully and back then Kant was born.”

She shared that she loves both the original version and its current form, Serving, “so much”. Speaking about the controversy, she said: “Thank God it [happened], because one it got much more popularity and got much more people watching it, people were on the tips of their toes to find out what the word change was, when there wasn’t [one].” She added: “It was all very exciting. […] So if I had like relive the process and choose what to happen, I would still choose for this to happen.”

Miriana has promoted the song in the build-up to the contest itself, including at the London Eurovision Party last month. Speaking about meeting the UK’s act Remember Monday, she told us recently: “I love them so much.

“I was in a girl group twice during my career so when I sang with them, because we sang Serving together during the pre-party, my heart was like bursting with happiness that my girl group energy was coming back. They’re such nice girls. […] We’re very close this year, in general – like the contestants, we’re very like tight. So yeah, I honestly loved meeting them and I can’t wait to see them again now!”

Giving an insight into life as a Eurovision act, she teased: “You live the superstar experience, literally. Sort of you have to be on time, you have to go to press, you have to time when you eat, when you sleep. You have to be very strict. Very strict on time. You have to be strategic with a lot of things so you grow a lot as an artist. I believe Eurovision helps artists grow like to another extent.”

Looking ahead, Miriana – who said that, although she wants to make it through to the final, she will be “happy” as long as she has a “good performance” – told us: “I think what I’ve achieved with Serving is so much bigger than Eurovision because it’s touched so many people’s hearts and I think I’ve finally gotten my flowers. All I want now is to continue building on it and obviously achieve more things when it comes to my music and career.”

Tigers pull ‘wildcard’ with ‘very sharp’ Parling

Getty Images

He was greeted as a “wildcard appointment”, has been admired as a “very sharp student of the game” and is seen by one former team-mate as a “big coup” for Leicester Tigers.

When Geoff Parling returns to Tigers in the summer after 10 years away, he will do so as a rookie head coach with a big reputation.

The 41-year-old former England lock, who earned three British and Irish Lions caps while playing for Leicester, where he won two Premiership titles in six years, replaces a coach of world renown in Michael Cheika.

For months, Tigers’ search for Cheika’s successor had the club linked to a multitude of high-profile coaching figures.

Stade Francais coach and ex-Harlequins head of rugby Paul Gustard and ex-Munster head coach Graham Rowntree were two former Tigers that were favourites for the job at different times, as was ex-England boss Stuart Lancaster and even former New Zealand player and assistant coach Leon MacDonald.

Australia assistant Parling, whose entire coaching career to date has been spent working down under after he retired as a player in 2018, was the surprise choice.

“He hadn’t been mentioned at all,” said former Leicester Tigers and England winger Tom Varndell, whose first spell with Tigers ended in 2009 before Parling moved to Mattioli Woods Welford Road from Newcastle.

“Geoff is a bit of a wildcard, but I think he is a really good one.

Former Tigers hooker George Chuter, who played alongside Parling throughout the lock’s time at Leicester, says his former team-mate appears to have “come up on the inside rail and snuck in at the end” to get the job.

While Parling was not a name being “bandied around” during the months in which speculation around the job swirled, Chuter says getting him back is a “big coup”.

He describes Parling as a “very intelligent and very sharp” thinker who will have a “deep appreciation for what it takes” to make Tigers successful.

“Geoff was a player that had to study the game,” Chuter told BBC East Midlands Today.

“If you were to describe someone who maximised their talent, I think that would be Geoff because he wasn’t the most naturally gifted rugby player. He looked about 48 years old when he was 25, so he is that sort of guy.

“He had a really great work ethic, physical skills he worked on but his brain was two or three steps ahead of most other people.

Cheika the ‘forever coach’

And with Parling being the ninth head coach Tigers have had in nine years, it’s arguable there are no more demanding conditions to work under than those in Leicester.

Cheika took the job “very last-minute” when fellow Australian Dan McKellar – who, like Parling, left his role as Wallabies assistant when he took over as Tigers head coach in 2023 – got through only one year of a “long-term deal” with the club.

The length of Parling’s contract has been described the same way.

Stability is something Tigers back-rower Hanro Liebenberg has previously said Leicester need to find in Cheika’s replacement.

Cheika himself spoke about “stability and all that business” after Parling’s role was announced, but said that trying to deliver a Premiership title this season is the “best thing” he can do to help the incoming boss.

But that may not be all, as Cheika remains keen to stay in touch with the club after his departure.

When asked if he would “pick up the phone” if Parling ever had a question in future, Cheika replied: “Yes, of course.

“And I’ve said it to the guys here – once I’ve coached them, I’m coaching them forever. You ask these guys to do things for you all the time, and the respect they show is something that is a big connector.
