Jane Seymour's key to staying fit at 74 without strict diet
Jane Seymour has a few tricks up her sleeve when it comes to maintaining her looks while balancing a healthy lifestyle.
Seymour, 74, listed several health tips that have helped her stay youthful – and they don't involve a strict diet.
"People ask me if I have a cheat day with my diet, and I respond that I am never on a diet, I just make good choices and stick with them," Seymour told the Daily Mail.
"If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat," she argued. "But if you find healthy foods you really love, that make you feel good, you never feel shorted."
The "Live and Let Die" actress detailed her healthy diet tips as she allows herself one big meal a day at 1:30 p.m.
"If you think you are on a diet, you will lose track, you will cheat."
"I start the day with coffee and hard-boiled eggs for protein, and it isn't till later, around lunchtime, that I have a full meal, because then I can really enjoy it."
As for her dining preferences, Seymour pointed out that she loves the "Mediterranean way of eating."
"It works so well, and it tastes good. It includes a lot of delicious food like tomatoes, olives and fish."
The former model shared that she grows a lot of her own vegetables, as she snacks on cucumbers and celery with hummus throughout the day.
"I do love nuts," she added. "I am a savory person, I like the salt."
Meanwhile, her fitness routine consists of lifting light weights and incorporating Pilates into her day.
"You have to keep moving!" Seymour said.
Although the "Dancing with the Stars" alum admitted she stays away from weight-loss drugs, including Ozempic, Seymour takes an antioxidant elixir, which she said helps "fight signs of skin aging."
Seymour's comments came after she showed off her ageless look during New York Fashion Week.
Earlier this month, the "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" actress strutted her svelte frame in a red mini dress and sky-high heels for New York Fashion Week's Nardos Fall 2025 show at the Plaza Hotel on Fifth Avenue.
Seymour shared a glimpse of the show's backstage glamour as she was dressed and primped for the catwalk.
"This is going to be fun," Seymour said in a video posted on her Instagram, as she called her fellow models "beautiful, magnificent creatures."
The "Harry Wild" star joked, "I am substantially older and shorter than all the models here, but happy to be here."
Seymour opened the show in an eye-catching one-shoulder mini dress with a floral design, which she paired with beige, pointed-toe pumps.
Although not a professional model, the actress has never been afraid to flaunt what she's got.
After first posing for Playboy pictorials in 1973 and 1987, she became the magazine's oldest model at 67 years old in 2018.
"I feel much sexier now than I ever did when I was younger," Seymour told Playboy at the time. "Then, I was like, 'Oh gosh, I'm supposed to be sexy. What is that?!'"
She added, "There's an enormous freedom in having lived as long as I have. Like my father used to say, I'm comfortable in my own skin. I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. When you're younger, it's all about 'Look at me.' I'm not trying to get anyone to look at me."

'It's Just for the Pure Love of This Art Form': ‘THR Frontrunners' Panel With ‘Étoile' Showrunners Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino
Amy-Sherman Palladino and Daniel Palladino have dabbled in the world of ballet before — their 2012 series Bunheads focused on a ballet school and their Gilmore Girls character of Miss Patty (Liz Torres) was a dance teacher. But with Étoile, the showrunner couple wanted to explore the art form even deeper. 'I was a dancer, so I grew up in that world,' Sherman-Palladino said at a recent THR Frontrunners panel. 'Most of the stuff that I've seen done around the ballet world, it's usually like, 'Oh, they're so pretty and fluffy onstage,' but then offstage they push each other off buildings and murder each other. I'm kidding. But there's just so much more to it than that. They are actually a really interesting group of people, and it's the one art form where you're guaranteed to never make a dime. You're going to die poor and then your career will be over at 25 and you'll be teaching Pilates and you're giving up everything because it's just for the pure love of this art form, and I find that miraculous.' More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 Premiere Date Set at Netflix 'Awards Chatter' Pod: Sissy Spacek on Her Collab 'Die My Love,' the 'New Hollywood' of the '70s and the Penises in 'Dying for Sex' HBO's 'Harry Potter' Series Finds Its Harry, Ron and Hermione Étoile follows two ballet companies in New York and Paris that swap their most talented stars in an attempt to boost ticket sales. Luke Kirby and Charlotte Gainsbourg lead the main cast, with Lou de Laâge, Gideon Glick, Ivan du Pontavice, Yanic Truesdale and David Alvarez rounding out the ensemble. The Palladinos, known for their rapid-fire dialogue across beloved series like Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, saw an added challenge to the writing of the script when they decided to incorporate the French language. 'We went through many translators,' Palladino admits. 'We used Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou de Laâge mainly as our judges because they were familiar with what we had done with Maisel and Gilmore Girls, and they knew about the snap [referring to the cadence of the Palladino dialogue] and they really wanted to do that, and they really wanted to do it in English. But neither of them had really done comedy in English before. But we kept getting head-shaking when we asked, 'what about these translations?' and they were like 'NO!' The worst thing they said was, 'well, it is the words.' … We finally found this really great lady, who really knows both languages, and she was on set with us.' Once the scripts were ready, the Palladinos knew casting would be an extra challenge due to the fact that they had to hire dancers who could act and vice versa as well as professional dancers for the performance sequences and body doubles for certain actors. 'The casting took forever,' says Palladino. 'For the dance companies, we basically had to put 20 professional grade dancers in each country, and that took a long time. … We tried to give all of them something to say at some point because they wanted to and we wanted to do that for them.' 'And this show is about the dancers — it's not a dance show — it's really about them and their lives and their work,' adds Sherman-Palladino. 'And so when we went to them first to say, 'we come in peace,' we wanted them to understand that they weren't window dressing to us, they were real characters. We got to know them and their voices so that when we gave them dialogue, it was something that was akin to who they were.' For de Laâge's character Cheyenne, the premier ballerina in the world, the duo knew that they wouldn't be able to 'find a dancer who could take on a role as complex as Cheyenne,' says Palladino. 'Here, the acting came first, so we did cast Lou, who was not a dancer, but as Amy said, because dancers give off being a dancer by walking, sitting in a certain way, we went through very, very vigorous training, but we also had a dance double come in. … I know a lot of people didn't know that [Lou] was not a dancer.' Of course, Taïs Vinolo, who plays Mishi, is a dancer in real life, as is Alvarez, who plays Gael. 'David was Bernardo in West Side Story, and we saw him when he was 14 in Billy Elliot,' says Palladino, to which Sherman-Palladino adds, 'Gael was not in the show. We were looking for at least two or three ringers that we could have as actors who also did their own dancing. He's an interesting guy: He was on Broadway; he won a Tony; then he danced at ABT [American Ballet Theatre] for a while; then he joined the army; then he backpacked across Mexico for two years. … And so we thought, well, that's kind of a fun character and we asked him, 'Do you mind if we steal your entire life for our evil purposes?' And I don't know if he knew we were serious until he saw the script [and who Gael is in the series].' The show, almost three years in the making, received a two-season order from Amazon in 2023 — and while the season one finale ended with some twists and turns, Sherman-Palladino says there's been no progress on a second season so far. 'Let's talk about Hollywood a little bit,' Sherman-Palladino says. 'When they say two-year pickup, they don't mean it. They mean one year and then we'll see who's still working at Amazon by the time the second year comes around to be greenlit. So as of yet, there is no second season pickup. So what I'm saying is if you want Étoile, please go home and buy a lot of toilet paper on Amazon. I know Amazon loves selling toilet paper. So if you watch Étoile and go buy 40,000 things of toilet paper, they'll be like, 'wow, look at all the toilet paper that we sell when people watch Étoile.' And then maybe we'll get a second season.'

Nara and Lucky Blue Smith Are Expecting Another Baby—Less Than a Year After Saying They Were ‘Done'
Model and content creator Nara Smith first crossed paths with fellow IMG model Lucky Blue Smith in 2019. Within a year, the two had quietly tied the knot, started a family, and begun building the life that would later turn them into one of TikTok's most recognizable couples. While they've kept many details of their personal lives private, both have occasionally opened up online or in interviews about their relationship, family life, and being in the public eye. Since their wedding in 2020, they've welcomed three children together and amassed a massive following across social media—largely due to Nara's cooking-from-scratch videos, often shot in their home kitchen. Below, a full timeline of their relationship so far. Nara and Lucky met during Milan Fashion Week while both were working as models. Shortly after, Lucky initiated contact by messaging Nara on Instagram. According to the couple, they moved from texting to a seven-hour phone call—and have spoken daily ever since. 'There hasn't been a day since that day that we've not been talking,' Nara shared in an April 2025 Vogue interview. 'I messaged Nara on Instagram, we started texting a little bit, I was very slow at texting,' Lucky revealed in the interview. 'I like to take my time with what I'm going to say.' Nara quipped, 'Five business days?' That fall, they made their relationship public on Instagram. Lucky reportedly proposed to Nara in 2019. Nara later revealed she developed a crush on Lucky years earlier after seeing him appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 'After we got married I was thinking about our journey and realized that at 15 I saw an Ellen interview with Lucky and had a crush on him but then forgot about it until later 😭,' she wrote in a December 2024 Instagram post. Nara and Lucky got married in a small beach ceremony in California. Nara shared a video from the day captioned, 'I married my best friend today.' The couple welcomed their first daughter, Rumble Honey Smith. Nara shared the news on Instagram with the caption, 'little baby angel Rumble Honey 10/7/20.' Nara gave birth to their second child, a son named Slim Easy. For his birthday the following year, she posted a video of a homemade donut tower to mark the occasion, writing, 'Can't believe how quickly time flies and how I've got a 2-year-old best friend now.' Their third child, daughter Whimsy Lou, was born. Nara announced her arrival on April 11 with a short video captioned, 'Our little angel has arrived!' The couple said they are not planning to have more children. 'Yep, I'm done,' Nara said in a GQ video, echoing Lucky's sentiment. They explained that while they originally envisioned a larger family, three children now feels like the right number. Nara and Lucky attended the Ralph Lauren Spring 2025 show in the Hamptons as part of New York Fashion Week. Lucky walked the runway, and the couple shared a few moments on camera together. Around the same time, they revealed plans to move to the East Coast, explaining in a TikTok video that they're hoping to settle somewhere quieter with more space for gardening and raising their family. Nara posted a throwback clip of Lucky's 2019 proposal to mark their five-year engagement anniversary. In the caption, she reflected on how their life has unfolded since, writing, 'I wish I could tell 18-year-old me just how beautiful life would become.' Nara and Lucky revealed they are expecting their fourth child. In a reel posted to Instagram and TikTok, Nara approached Lucky in a flowing cream blouse and skirt before gently cradling her growing baby bump. Lucky placed a hand on her stomach and kissed it as they smiled toward the camera. 'Our little surprise,' she wrote in the caption, adding 'baby 4 loading...' over the video. The announcement came nearly a year after the couple said they were done having children. They've yet to share how far along Nara is or the baby's gender. This story will be updated.

Tween clothing line Theme is designer by 16-year-old Ariella Maizner
Ariella Maizner is sew talented. At age 6, she took her first sewing class and discovered a natural affinity. At age 9, she launched her own fashion line, Theme, after friends started asking about the feminine frocks she was making and wearing to birthday parties and bat mitzvahs. Initially, she tie-dyed shirts on the roof of her family's Manhattan apartment to sell at boutiques and pop-ups. When she was 10, Rent the Runway invited her to show a collection of sequined hoodies and matching skirts at New York Fashion Week. 6 Ariella Maizner started taking sewing classes at age 6. Now 16, she has her own thriving fashion line, Theme. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner Now, at age 16, Maizner has a growing brand that's sold at more than 200 boutiques across the country, as well as in department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. Her clothes have been seen on Zaya Wade — the daughter of actress Gabrielle Union and basketball star-turned-Utah Jazz co-owner Dwayne Wade — and TikTok influencer Charli D'Amelio. She's collaborated with the likes of Walmart and State and recently debuted a line of beaded bracelets and charm necklaces for teen mall brand Claire's. 'Ever since I was little, I played dress up,' Maizner, a sophomore at a Manhattan public high school, told The Post. 'I thought, 'Oh, if I can make my own clothes, that would be so cool!'' The first piece she finished was a rainbow-striped maxi dress with a matching belt. Soon, she was sewing herself frocks for her friends' birthday parties and other events — and getting lots of requests from others who wanted clothes like hers. 'That's when I was like, 'I want to make a brand,' because everyone asked me to make things for them,' Maizner said. When she told her mother, Debbi Maizner, then a CMO at JPMorgan Chase, she wanted to start her own line, Debbi was cautious but encouraging. 'I told her: 'We live in the best city in the world. You should meet people and learn from them,'' Debbi — who now handles operations for Theme — told The Post. 'It started as a journey to just support her interests.' 6 Maizner (pictured at age 9) started out designing party dresses for herself. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner Maizner often would DM designers and entrepreneurs she admired on Instagram and ask to meet with them. 'I would bring all the clothes I sewed and lay them all out, and [they would invite] their whole team to come in, and they would just connect me with other people and give me really good advice that motivated me,' Maizner said. 6 Soon, friends were requesting the dresses she was making. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner 'When I first met Ariella I was struck by how young she was, but how she knew exactly what she wanted to do,' Minkoff told The Post. Theme is unabashedly girly: tiered ruffled skirts with lace trim, sequin-studded strapless party frocks, frilly tops and tie-dye hoodies and loungewear in pastel hues. Yet Maizner prizes comfort and versatility. Tops come with detachable, adjustable spaghetti straps; skirts have shorts attached to them. One of those designers was Rebecca Minkoff, who has become a key supporter of Maizner's work. 'A really big thing is making sure the clothes are comfortable and the girls feel confident in what they wear,' Maizner said. 'Because I think that's like the biggest thing when you wear clothes: feeling good and feeling yourself. 6 Theme is sold in 200 boutiques across the country, as well as in department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner While Maizner sits in on business meetings, provides feedback to manufacturers and helps conceptualize the brand's photo shoots, Debbi wants to make sure she has time to be a normal teen. 'I want to let her be a kid,' she said. Maizner competes on her school's basketball team, runs track and field and plays tennis. Her favorite subjects are math and photography. On weekends, she goes vintage shopping with her friends and hangs out in the West Village. 6 Maizner's designers are girly but unfussy. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner And, in between all that, she works on her fashion line. She creates mood boards with vintage photos for inspiration. She sketches silhouettes and sends them, along with color swatches, to the various manufacturers she works with. She tests fabrics and examines every single stitch. Yet Maizner told The Post that she doesn't think of designing as work. 'Whenever I have nothing after school, I want to go to sewing class, because it's my happy place,' she said. 'Honestly, it doesn't feel like a lot to fit in, because I really like doing it. It just feels fun.' 6 When she's not designing clothes, Maizner is an average New York high schooler — playing school sports and hanging out with friends in the West Village. T H E M E/ Ariella Maizner She involves her friends and sisters in the process as much as possible — fittings are like parties. And her rambunctious 7-year-old sister, Noa, is one of her best fit models. 'She gives us really honest advice,' Maizner said with a laugh. 'We always say if she can do a cartwheel in it then it passes the test.'
