Stella McCartney has received France’s highest national honour. She was named a Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur during a ceremony at the Élysée Palace, where the award was presented by Emmanuel Macron.

Established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte, the Légion d’Honneur is the highest order of merit in France. It recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to the country or to wider international cultural and professional life. The honour is sometimes awarded to non-French citizens.

The ceremony was attended by a small group of guests including McCartney’s father, Paul McCartney, media executive Oprah Winfrey and fashion editor Anna Wintour.

McCartney launched her fashion label in 2001 and has consistently avoided the use of leather and fur in her collections. The brand has focused on developing alternatives to animal-derived materials and exploring lower-impact production processes.

France has played a role in her professional career. Early on, she trained in Paris and completed an internship with the couture house founded by Christian Lacroix. In 1997 she was appointed creative director of the Paris-based fashion label Chloé, succeeding Karl Lagerfeld. She has continued to present collections in the city as part of Paris Fashion Week.

The French honour follows recognition in the United Kingdom. McCartney was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2013 and was later promoted to Commander of the same order by King Charles III for services to fashion and sustainability.

She graduated from Central Saint Martins in London in 1995. Since establishing her brand, McCartney has promoted the use of animal-free materials and has spoken publicly about environmental issues connected to the fashion industry.

The couple married in a civil ceremony at a New York City courthouse on September 13, 2018. They held a larger wedding celebration in South Carolina in September 2019, attended by friends and family.

Justin and Hailey first sparked dating rumours in 2014 and confirmed their relationship in 2016. They later split before reconnecting in 2018. Justin proposed in July that year, and they married two months later.

The couple welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. They have occasionally shared photographs of their family life, while keeping much of their son’s life private.

Lady Gaga has reportedly become a mother for the first time, welcoming a baby with her fiancé, Michael Polansky.

The singer and Polansky are said to have welcomed their first child together, with reports emerging on Friday, September 11. The couple were also reportedly seen with their baby in Northern California.

Details surrounding the birth remain private. The baby’s name, sex and exact date of birth have not been disclosed, while Gaga has yet to make a public announcement.

Gaga has spoken about her desire to have children in the past. In a 2025 interview, she described motherhood as her “next starring role” and discussed her hopes for having a family of her own.

Her relationship with Polansky began in 2019, and the pair spent much of the Covid-19 lockdown together in Malibu. Gaga publicly confirmed their engagement in 2024 after introducing Polansky as her fiancé during the Paris Olympics.

Polansky, a Harvard-educated entrepreneur and philanthropist, has worked with the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and has been involved in charitable projects. He has largely stayed out of the spotlight while supporting Gaga’s career and philanthropic work.

The reported arrival comes after a major period in Gaga’s career. She released her album Mayhem in 2025 and continued with live performances and other professional commitments.

For now, Gaga and Polansky have kept details about their baby private. Unlike many major moments in the singer’s career, the arrival of her first child has not been accompanied by a detailed public announcement.

The couple have not yet shared further details, leaving fans waiting for Gaga’s own confirmation and, potentially, the first glimpse into her new life as a mother.

Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham attended the Kinéo Awards in Venice on September 5, marking one of their most prominent joint appearances in recent months.

The couple attended the ceremony, held during the Venice Film Festival, where Nicola received the Rising Star Award in recognition of her work as an actress, screenwriter and producer. The Kinéo Awards are separate from the official Venice Film Festival programme.

Nicola’s award comes as she continues to build her film career. She is attached to Prima, a ballet drama in which she stars alongside Faye Dunaway. Dunaway was also honoured at the ceremony, receiving a lifetime achievement award.

For the occasion, Nicola wore a deep violet Balenciaga Haute Couture gown. The floor-length design had a fitted bodice, cut-out details at the waist and a full skirt, giving the dress a distinctly structured shape. She kept her accessories minimal, with her hair and make-up also kept relatively understated.

Brooklyn wore a black-and-white tuxedo, pairing a black jacket and trousers with a white shirt and bow tie. His classic tailoring provided a simple contrast to Nicola’s more distinctive dress.

The couple were photographed together throughout the evening, including several affectionate moments on the red carpet. Their appearance comes as they have faced continued media attention over reports of tensions between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham.

Nicola referred to Brooklyn during her acceptance speech, thanking him alongside members of her family. She also acknowledged Dunaway, with whom she shares the cast of Prima.
