Incredible

MAYA Jama oozed glam in a gothic purple gown with a matching choker as she stepped out at the British Museum Ball.

The Celebrity Traitors star – who is one of BBC host Claudia Winkleman‘s chosen Traitors – flashed a sultry look in her floor length purple frock.

Ruched detail across her torso drew attention to the Love Island anchor’s toned figure while stitched pattern on the skirt added extra style.

Maya stayed her hair into curls and a half-up style, with sections at the front framing her face.

The presenter kept her make-up fresh, with a slick of black eyeliner and pink lipgloss.

According to britishmuseum.org, the swanky evening was “the defining highlight of London’s cultural and social calendar this autumn”.

It stated: “Conceived as a night where art, history, performance and fashion converge, the Ball will offer a truly unforgettable moment at one of the world’s most iconic institutions”.

The theme of this year’s event was Red and also saw the likes of Mick Jagger and Lesley Manville in attendance.

Recently, we told how Maya had become the fashion queen of Celebrity Traitors with her iconic Honey Monster coat.

We told how she packed 10 designer jackets, worth a total £15,000, for the iconic show.

She donned a £2,570 Saint Laurent trench coat for the launch show and wore the £600 mustard Mongolian sheepskin bolero coat designed by London-based fashion house Agro Studio.

Fans said the colour and huge shoulder pads reminded them of the character introduced to advertise Sugar Puffs — now sold as Honey Monster Wheat Puffs.

Maya kept it on throughout the episode, shot in the Scottish Highlands in May, including a tense Round Table scene.

Now talk has turned to her love-life on the set of the gripping reality series.

Viewers are convinced a romance is bubbling up between Maya and King Kenny just as she recruited him as a third Traitor.

Fans of the show have spotted a few lingering looks between the YouTube star and the broadcaster since the BBC One show launched earlier this month.

The online whispers only intensified when Maya revealed herself to Kenny in the turret after he was recruited on Thursday night’s show.

He lunged forward for an embrace with her — which he didn’t do for fellow Traitor James Acaster.

KELLY Osbourne, Ashley James and Nadiya Bychkova looked incredible in their glamorous gowns at star-studded London gala.

Kelly looked stunning in a sleek off‑the‑shoulder black dress, finished with layered necklaces and a striking cross pendant.

Broacaster and DJ Ashley looked gorgeous in a glossy turquoise satin gown, paired with a matching scarf draped softly around her shoulders.

Meanwhile, Strictly professional dancer, Nadiya stunned in a sleek satin slip dress with thin spaghetti straps, pairing the look with black heels and a small matching handbag.

Nadiya also performed in a dramatic pink gown, complete with a high slit that showed off her toned legs.

The stars turned out to support the MODE EPS gala in aid of Anna Freud, which was held inside the opulent Spencer House in Mayfair.

Anna Freud is a mental health charity transforming care for children and young people through science, collaboration and clinical innovation.

Attendee Kelly opened up about her own struggles in The Sun this weekend, telling us it has been the worst year of her life following dad Ozzy’s death and her split from DJ Sid Wilson.

She said: “It’s been the worst year of my life. In so many ways, I can’t even explain to you. But it’s also been really beautiful because I’ve learned that my grief is an honour, as I truly love someone that much.”

“It’s been the worst year of my life,” she says. “In so many ways, I can’t even explain to you. But it’s also been really beautiful because I’ve learned that my grief is an honour, as I truly love someone that much.

London-born Kelly has since moved permanently back to England from LA, not only to be closer to her dad’s grave, but also to give her son a stable childhood.

And she has gained 2st in weight since an appearance at the Brit Awards earlier this year sparked concern about her well-being.

“I didn’t know that I looked like that until I saw the pictures,” she said. “When I saw them, I couldn’t f**king believe it. I was as shocked as everyone else.”

Kelly, who battled her weight in her teens before having gastric sleeve surgery in 2018, admits that it’s hard to have your body up for discussion.

AMERICAN actress Jessica Chastain looked sensational on the red carpet for “the scariest of the year” horror movie that gave fans “panic attacks in the cinema.”

The 49-year-old posed for the cameras at the Los Angeles premiere of Other Mommy yesterday.

Jessica looked incredible as she flashed her long legs in a green silk mini dress.

She exuded effortless Hollywood glamour; looking world’s away from her terrifying character.

The film star had her blonde locks styled in a curly bob and accessorised her dress with a pair of strappy silver Louboutin heels.

Jessica was snapped beaming as she waved at her fans.

In Other Mommy, Jessica stars in a dual role as normal mother Ursula and the sinister supernatural force using her appearance as a disguise.

The villainous entity is targeting Bela, played by Arabella Olivia Clark, Ursula’s young daughter.

Fans were left traumatised by the trailer of the film and took to social media to discuss their reactions.

One fan remarked: “Whoever decided to air this trailer right before The Odyssey started is a f*****g d******d.

“Thought it was an ice cream commercial. Next thing you know I’m having a panic attack in my seat.”

“That scene when she’s under table made my entire theater jump,” wrote another fan.

A third commented: “The theater played a trailer for this movie Other Mommy before the odyssey and there’s a jump scare it in that I’m still thinking about and it should be illegal.”

Other Mommy comes out in cinemas across the UK today.

A MAJOR noughties popstar could hardly be recognised as she cut of figure in a body skimming PVC jumpsuit.

Posing at an American football game across the pond, the former chart topper looked a far cry from her former boho image.

The pop star was none other than Unwritten singer Natasha Bedingfield who is best known for her hits in the early 2000s.

Natasha turned heads in a skintight black latex jumpsuit with puff sleeves and sporty white stripes.

The American football-inspired outfit featured her surname and the number 33 emblazoned across the chest.

She completed the look with white platform ankle boots, wearing her blonde bob loose with a full fringe.

Sharing the look on Instagram, Natasha captioned the post: “Well, the rest is STILL unwritten”, tagging stylist Lizzy Rosenberg and the Buffalo Bills’ official account.

Text across the video read: “Bills half time latex fit”.

Fans rushed to gush over the outfit, with one writing: “OKAY BODYYYYY BEDINGFIELD!”

Another declared: “This outfit is going to go down in history as a instant classic”.

A third joked: “Half time???? Thassa more full time”.

Natasha was dressed up for a half-time performance at the Buffalo Bills’ game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

The pop starlet now lives in New York with her businessman husband Matt Robinson and their son Solomon Dylan.

The singer is still making music and performing, releasing her latest single Dot Dot Dot in August.

And her 2004 smash hit Unwritten continues to win over a new generation of fans, with Natasha revealing last month that it was approaching an insane two billion streams.

CHARLOTTE Dawson has shown off her incredible weight loss in before and after snaps.

The mum-of-three took to her Instagram page to share that she can fit back into her size 10 jeans again.

The star took to her account to share how she did it – and mentioned her new lifestyle and fitness platform.

Showcasing her amazing fat loss with a picture of her before and after, she told her 1.4m followers: “I’VE GOT MY FAVOURITE SIZE 10 JEANS ON.

“Honestly… I can’t believe I’m saying this. Looking at these pictures makes me SO proud of myself.

“Not because of a number on the scales, but because I’ve done this the RIGHT WAY. The Confidence Curve way.

“Sarah @nourishbysg has been sorting me out for over a year now with my food, gut and getting my skin looking glowy and Kelly @kellyameliaaerial has been training with me getting me feeling strong, healthy and fabulous now and I’ve been keeping my confidence in check!! Now it’s yours turn @confidencecurve_cc.”

She confessed that there were “no quick fixes” and she “didn’t punish herself”, but she just made “better choices” and “moved her body”.

Her fans rushed to the comments section to praise her efforts, with one writing: “Looking fab.”

Another said: “Go on my girl.”

A third chimed in: “You look amazing. Well done.”

In another video shared to her account and Confidence Curve, she filmed herself struggling to get into the item of clothing, followed by her with a smile on her face with them on her body.

But Charlotte, who is mum to Noah, Jude and Gigi, later had to take to he later had to take to her Story to vent after receiving some negative messages.

She said: “I don’t own a pair of jeans, every knows me, I don’t wear jeans, I don’t like the fit, they are uncomfortable.

“But these jeans, I have had these for years and years. Size 10. Can never get them on.

“I am just going to tell you something, I am not a size 10… I’m a size 12. well, 14-12, more to a 12-10 now. I’m so happy I got into a size 10 jeans.

“Nobody f***ing believes me, nobody believes me in the comments. What the f***?”

Back in March, the mum-of-three announced she was quitting her fitness plan brand Belleh Blaster which combined “fun dance routines” with diet plans and a private Instagram group community.

SHE has faced a tough few years, but standing centre stage in a pop-up stadium built and named in her honour, Shakira has well and truly nailed her big comeback. 

Nearly quarter of a century after her debut UK hit Whenever Wherever, she is about to embark on a sold-out residency in Madrid.

Over 21 nights, she will perform for more than 600,000 fans after pulling off one of the most impressive career revivals ever.

The concerts are the finale to her 127-date Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour — the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time, and the fifth most lucrative female tour in history.

And Shakira herself is enjoying it just as much as her rapidly- expanding fan base.

In an exclusive chat, the Colombian superstar — who, despite her age-defying looks, turns 50 in February — said: “I feel more secure and more confident than ever; so much more than when I was in my 20s, which is something I never would have believed or expected.”

She added of her pop renaissance: “I’ve never been more in love with my career, so I’m grateful to still be able to do what I do and just know that people are connecting to that.”

This year has been a game-changer for Shakira. Her World Cup anthem with Burna Boy, Dai Dai, topped charts globally and became one of the biggest hits of 2026 so far.

The video has had more than 1billion views since May, contributing to her becoming the most-watched female artist on YouTube.

The same month, she performed to over 2million people in a single night on Copacabana Beach in Rio De Janeiro — one of the highest- attended concerts ever.

But in Dai Dai, she sings: “You’ve been this brave all along, what broke you once made you strong.”

It is a reflection of her last few years, when life was challenging.

Shakira’s 2017 album, El Dorado, was not received as well as expected, and five years later came her highly-publicised split from Spanish footballer Gerard Pique.

The couple, who never wed but have sons Milan, 13, and Sasha, 11, announced their separation after 11 years together in a public statement.

He was alleged to have moved on with another woman while they were together, although he has not spoken about the circumstances.

Things were made worse when Shakira was dragged into court by Spanish authorities over a tax dispute, in which she claimed she had not spent enough time in the country to pay the taxes they said she owed.

In 2023, she settled on one case of tax evasion, forking out €14.5million in unpaid taxes plus interest, a €7.3million fine and a €432,000 payment to waive a suspended three-year prison sentence.

At the time, things were looking bleak. But she started to turn it around, funnelling her anger into her music, which attracted a whole new generation of fans.

Then in May, a Spanish court ordered the country’s tax authority to refund €55million of taxes, ruling that the cash was improperly collected during the dispute.

Her epic, two-and-a-half hour concert tells the story of a wronged woman who comes out the other side.

At one point in the show, during song TQG,she is seen trying to reprogramme men’s behaviour.

Later, she is depicted as a lone wolf protecting her cubs, and then duets with her sons, who appear on screens for the track Acrostico.

The message is clear as she tells the crowd: “Love is beautiful. But self-love is more beautiful.”

The gig features a set of some 25 songs, more than a dozen extravagant costumes, fireworks, flamethrowers, twerking and Shakira on the drums and guitar.

It is a triumphant moment of celebration and, during her carnival-inspired, multi-coloured performance of Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), she beams from ear to ear.

Shakira hopes her concerts leave fans, especially women, optimistic about the world, as that’s certainly how she feels after the ordeal she has gone through in recent years.

She told me: “I hope women walk away feeling empowered and excited about what’s ahead of them, knowing that they are the ones who decide how to tell their story and what they want to take away from everything life throws at them.

“It’s been such a revelation to realise that the worst I ever imagined could happen . . . and that I can still find this level of happiness again.”

In Madrid, as well as the temporary stadium built in her honour, there is an entire 30-hectare village of attractions based on the Hips Don’t Lie singer.

And she’s bound to rake it in as there are high-profile sponsorships, including a museum about Shakira in partnership with Amazon.

A whole Disney area inspired by the star’s voice role in Zootropolis 2 is another key attraction, along with a library, in partnership with Penguin, promoting authors from South America.

During the residency, hotel bookings in Madrid are up 15 per cent from 2025, while Ryanair added 225,000 seats on flights to the hotspot ahead of the shows, which are generating hundreds of millions for the city’s economy.

Shakira, who has sold 100million records during her career, has now relocated from Spain to Miami with her sons to start afresh — and she is flying high.

She proved as much on the global stage when an estimated 1.5billion footie fans watched her perform at the inaugural World Cup halftime show in July.

And although she sang alongside acts including Madonna, BTS and Justin Bieber, it was Shakira who stole the spotlight.

Her success is a testament to her grit and temerity, with music insiders revealing she is hands-on with every detail of her career.

A source said: “Shakira has worked harder than anybody for this comeback — it’s taken blood, sweat and tears.

“There have been sleepless nights, relentless workouts and a back-breaking schedule, but she loves it and wants to prove to other women what is possible. She pulled an all-nighter with her band last Wednesday just to rehearse for the show in Madrid, not finishing until 8.30am.

“This is very serious to her. She wants to stay at the top for years to come.”

Shakira also teamed up with another in-demand pop star, Zara Larsson, earlier this summer for a remix of her song Eurosummer.

And last week, she released a collaboration called Agua with fellow Colombian star Maluma.

Now, all eyes are on what’s next for Shak, who has barely stopped in her quest to win back her superstardom.

As for a 13th studio album and future collaborations, she teased: “I’ve definitely chatted with a few people recently who would be really fun and unexpected, but I won’t ruin the surprises . . . ”

Although her tour is coming to an end, Shakira shows no signs of slowing down.

She has hinted that she wants to return to the UK, where she has not performed since 2018.

On the prospect of headlining Glastonbury, where she sang on the Pyramid Stage in 2010, she has said: “It’s such an iconic place to perform.

I’d love to go back to England and perform at Glastonbury.

“That would be like the cherry on top for this amazing year I’ve been having.”

As for a break? I wouldn’t count on it. She said: “I take days here and there to rest, but as long as I still have energy and inspiration, I love to stay working.”
