Seems like only yesterday, dear: The Queen and Duchess of Cambridge relive glorious royal wedding day with private viewing of THAT dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Admiration: The Queen talks with the Duchess of Cambridge as they view the wedding dress the Duchess wore during her April marriage to Prince William

The Queen today enjoyed a private viewing of the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning wedding gown with Kate ahead of a public showing of the dress at Buckingham Palace.

More than half a million people are expected to view the dress as part of the Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, but her Majesty was give her own tour by the Duchess.

The pair chatted as they admired the £250,000 Alexander McQueen dress which had the world enthralled when Kate married Prince William in April.


Viewing: The Duchess of Cambridge arrives at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty, The Queen, to see the wedding dress and cake before both go on public display


Amid the pomp and splendour of a truly unforgettable day, The Dress was undoubtedly the star of the show.

But the ghost-like appearance of the headless mannequin used to exhibit the gown prompted her to describe it as 'horrible' during a private tour with Kate of a new Buckingham Palace exhibition.

The Queen and the Duchess were given a sneak preview of the exhibition, which opens to the public tomorrow.


One is spooked: The Queen was heard to describe the headless mannequin as 'horrible'


The monarch led the way and, with her hands clasped behind her back, strode into the Ballroom and stopped about 10 feet from the dress with Kate standing beside her.

As the pair chatted, the pitch of the Queen's voice raised and she said 'horrible' and then 'horrid'.

It appeared the mannequin's lack of a head may have perturbed the Queen, who added: 'It's made to look very creepy.'

Kate countered with her own view and said it had a '3D effect'.

And just like the most gracious stars, the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning wedding gown is returning for an encore.

Those of us who admired it from the comfort of our sofas at home, can now see the Alexander McQueen dress right up close – if we can get our hands on what is rapidly becoming the hottest ticket in town.

The dress is to take pride of place at Buckingham Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, ensuring we can bask in the afterglow of Kate and William’s wedding day just that little bit longer.

It's a hard life: Tamara Ecclestone gets helicopter to shops from daddy's yacht in Monaco whilst on holiday with Petra

By JODY THOMPSON

Clunk click: Tamara Ecclestone straps herself in to get a lift in a helicopter from the yacht where she's staying in Monaco to the shore

Billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone took relaxation to a sky-high new level on holiday yesterday - she saved her legs from a tiring walk to the designer stores by getting a HELICOPTER to nip to the shops.

Tamara caught a Heli Air Monaco flight whilst relaxing with her sister Petra on their Formula 1 boss father's luxury yacht moored off the coast of Monaco.

At least the previously bikini-clad Tamara covered up - a bit at least - for her spot of retail therapy, pulling on a pair of tiny denim cut-off shorts, pink vest and cuffed sandals.


Up and away: The heiress can afford to avoid public transport or a dodgy dinghy to go shopping


However, while most mere mortals put up with a canvas beach bag that smells vaguely of mouldy towels on our summer hols, Tam was proudly sporting an expensive cream designer handbag.

Perhaps she was popping out on her own to buy a last-minute minute wedding present for her sister, who's walking down the aisle in a few weeks.

They've been joined by their boyfriends on their summer break and have been hard at work deepening their already teak-coloured tans on deck.


Back on dry land: Tamara may have been taking advantage of Monaco's designer stores to buy a last-minute wedding gift for sister Petra


Earlier, Tamara was seen basking in a tiny silver and white tie-sided bikini, while Petra had plumped for a top piece with a pale blue top and multi-coloured bottoms.

At one point, they both grabbed bottles of water from the on-board ice bucket, having worked up a thirst while sat round the on-deck pool on the boat, called Force One.

Petra is making sure that her tan is in ship shape for her wedding next month - and it appears that Tamara may be following in her younger sister's lead.


Luxury stay: The pair are staying on their Formula 1 boss father's superyacht


She appeared to be accessorising her swimsuit with a earlier in the week with a huge sparkler on her ring finger.

Younger sibling Petra, 22, is engaged to her beau of four years businessman James Stunt and the pair are walking down the aisle in a few weeks.

Tamara, 27, is currently dating Omar Khyami a 37-year-old stockbroker.

Little Shiloh puts her mother Angelina Jolie in the shade with her cool sunglasses

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday

As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.

But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.

The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.

Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.



Star in the making? Shiloh looked rather chuffed with her green shutter shades


It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.

The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.

Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.

The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.

They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.


Carry on: Zahara opted not to wear her white sunglasses


In keeping up with her daughters, the 36-year-old actress wore a classic pair of aviator sunglasses.

The Tourist star also wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and nude pumps while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.

Of course, it is no surprise the star was carrying the designer luggage - she recently starred in a Louis Vuitton 'Core values' ad campaign which she shot in Cambodia.

The ads are set to run for 18 months and will feature other celebrity humanitarians like Bono and his wife Ali Hewson, the founder of fashion line EDUN.


Helping hands: A nanny, dressed in a flannel shirt, and body guards accompanied the trio

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

The girls showed off their trim legs and glowing tans in light denim hot pants with the Irish singer teaming her shorts with a black T-shirt and a pair of UGG boots.


IT bags: Rochelle and Vanessa dressed more appropriately given the miserable weather in trouser and jumpers and the pair and Mollie all carried Balenciaga Giant City bags in different colours

Mollie, who has recently started dating D&G model Davd Gandy wore a pretty floral top and a light denim jacket finished off with a pair of T-bar sandals and sunglasses.

Rochelle Wiseman and Vanessa White opted for slight more appropriate clothing, given the dreary weather.

Rochelle donned a pair of denim jeans and a pink sweater with the word Love emblazoned across it.

Meanwhile Vaness opted for black sweat pants and a grey jumper with a heart pattern.


Cute couple: Rochelle and Marvin, seen leaving the May Fair hotel enjoyed a short break to Portugal before getting back to work

And it was designer handbags all around for the girls, with Rochelle, Vanessa and Mollie all carrying Balenciaga Giant City handbags, which retail in the region of £1,100.

While Vanessa carried a grey version, and Mollie was seen sporting a stone bag, Rochelle carried a coral pink colour, along with a large Louis Vuitton bag.

And Una wasn’t feeling left out as she flashed a Louis Vuitton holdhall.


Last month the girls announced their first arena tour which will be taking place in December this year across the country.

The Beckham boys spend some quality time with Auntie Joanne as they munch candy floss and cheer on dad David

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

We're with Auntie Jo! Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham sit proudly next to Joanne - David's younger sister - as they cheer on their dad at the football

With the arrival of a new baby, some older siblings can feel left out as friends and family members coo and gush over the newborn.

But not the Beckham boys, who have been getting just as much attention affections as their little sister Harper Seven.

And they even got to spend some quality time with their Auntie Joanne, who lavished lots of love and fun on them at the football yesterday.


You're so funny! Cruz Beckham laughs along with his aunt while grandmother Sandra looks on


David's younger sister, who very rarely gets to see her nephews, was snapped with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz as they cheered on her brother and their father as LA Galaxy took on Colombus Crew.

Joanne, 29, joined her mother Sandra and Victoria's father Tony in the private box at the Home Depot Centre.


Did that go wide? Brooklyn holds his arms open as Tony and Joanne wince at a missed goal opportunity


She treated her nephews to some candy floss and was seen laughing and joking with them as they cheered the home team to a late 1-0 win.

There was no sign of Victoria's mother Jackie or sister Louise, who were probably back at the family's rented Malibu mansion helping her with baby Harper.



Love you, Daddy! Cruz blows kisses to his father as Romeo grabs his shoulder


Can you help me? Joanne sorts out Romeo's candy floss


Oh no! Romeo and Brooklyn - who was clutching an iPad - put their hands on their heads at another miss


In action: David fights for the ball with Columbus Crew midfielder Robbie Rogers


Day out: The group were later seen shopping in Malibu



Plenty of room: This is the Malibu beach front house that is accommodating the Beckham and Adams family this summer

And with Louise, 34, in Los Angeles with her husband Darren Flood and their children, it's just as well that David had the foresight to rent a huge house to accommodate them all.

David, 36, and Victoria, 37, are splashing out £93,000 ($150,000) a month to rent Steven Spielberg's Californian beachside home in Malibu for the summer.

It's official: Jennifer Aniston puts on first PDA with boyfriend Justin Theroux at Horrible Bosses premiere afterparty

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


A tight grip: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux hold hands as they leave Shoreditch House in London

Her love life has been the focus of much debate and Jennifer Aniston has certainly had her fair share of bad luck as far as relationships go.

But it seems as though the actress may have finally found love in the form of actor Justin Theroux.

The couple were pictured holding hands as they left Shoreditch House in London last night, following the premiere of her new movie Horrible Bosses.


Don't let go: The pair were still holding hands tightly today as they arrived at London's Heathrow to fly back to Los Angeles


Jennifer, 42, had changed into a sassy black LBD for her evening out with Justin, earlier in the day she wore a grey frock at the premiere.

The pair were still glued to each other today when they arrived at London's Heathrow Airport to catch a flight back to Los Angeles.

Jennifer looked summery in a white vest, jeans and flipflops and had accessorised with rather appropriate aviator shades and a stylish black bag featuring giant zip detailing slung across her front


Skyward bound: The loved-up pair had to let go of each other to go through check-in and security


Bags of appeal: The star was sporting an unusual bag featuring gigantic zips that would have set the metal detectors pinging


Grey day: The actress wore a subtle number to the premiere of her new film Horrible Bosses


While holding another black leather bag under one arm, she held on tightly to Justin with her other hand.

It's a step forward from the the start of the month when Jennifer was inducted into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and her new boyfriend Justin Theroux was front row to support his leading lady.

Although she kept him hidden while she walked the red carpet at last Thursday's Horrible Bosses premiere in LA, Justin was pride of place at the drinks later that night - thought there were no PDAs.



New movie: The actress with her co-stars Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jason Bateman and Kevin Spacey


'They are great friends,' a source also told People magazine of the couple.

'When Justin is in L.A. from New York, he and Jen have spent a lot of time together lately.'

'Jen was in a great mood and seemed happy to take Justin to her favourite restaurant,' the source says.

'They seemed happy and were flirty, but didn't act like a couple.'

Ready for its encore: Kate's wedding gown we all fell in love with goes on display

By REBECCA ENGLISH and TAMARA COHEN

Showstopper: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, wearing the dress in all its glory, emerge from Westminster Abbey on their wedding day

Amid the pomp and splendour of a truly unforgettable day, The Dress was undoubtedly the star of the show.

And just like the most gracious stars, the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning wedding gown is returning for an encore.

Those of us who admired it from the comfort of our sofas at home, can now see the £250,000 Alexander McQueen dress right up close – if we can get our hands on what is rapidly becoming the hottest ticket in town.


Fit for a Duchess: Kate Middleton's stunning wedding gown is going on display at the weekend, alongside other items from the big day


The dress is to take pride of place at Buckingham Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, ensuring we can bask in the afterglow of Kate and William’s wedding day just that little bit longer.

While most brides carefully wrap their bridal gowns in tissue paper and store them away with their memories, Kate’s will be shared with the nation all over again.


Beauty in the detail: 58 gazar buttons run from the collar to the waist on the gown, while Kate's veil is made of soft ivory silk tulle and stitched with flowers


In fact visitors can relive every joyful moment of the day, with everything from the Duchess’s veil to her shoes and even the royal wedding cake on display.

Record demand means advance ticket sales are more than double on last year’s summer opening, with 600,000 people paying £17.50 per ticket to troop through the doors over the next ten weeks.

That would comfortably beat the palace’s previous highest attendance of 420,000 in 1994.

Here, the Daily Mail, which was offered an exclusive tour yesterday, can reveal the treasures in store for the first visitors this Saturday.


Something borrowed: This 1936 Cartier tiara was loaned to Kate by Queen and contains 1,000 glittering diamonds


Icing on the cake: The top three layers of the cake are replicas, with two saved for the couple's first child's Christening, as tradition dictates


The first cut: The mark made by the couple using a ceremonial sword is clearly visible on the bottom tier of the cake


Twinkle toes: The duchess's hand-stitched shoes were designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen and are size five-and-a-half


Bouquet of memories: A silk replica of Kate's flowers include sweet william, myrtle, lily of the valley and hyacinth


Little acorns: The Duchess's diamond earrings were a present from her parents for the wedding, and bare acorns as a nod to her family's new coat of arms


Spectacular: Pippa Middleton carries the train of her sister's gown, which was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and described as being sized 'small' by the exhibition's curator


However, look closely among the sugary flowers on the bottom tier and you can see the mark left by the ceremonial sword the couple used to cut it – an unbroken link to a magical day.

The Royal Wedding Dress: A Story of Great British Design runs until October 3 at Buckingham Palace. Tickets are priced at £17.50 and can be obtained from www.royalcollection.org.uk or 0207 766 7300.
