Lila Moss and model aristocrat Lady Lola Bute slip into racy red negligees as they party in Ibiza
Lila Moss and model aristocrat Lady Lola Bute slipped into racy red negligees as they partied in Ibiza on Tuesday. The 22-year-old model daughter of Kate Moss, 51, let her hair down in snaps shared on social media. Lila and Lola modelled sexy red lingerie to celebrate the launch of a capsule collection between Annie's Ibiza and Debute London. Debute London was founded by fashion designer Lola, 26, and her half-sister, Games of Thrones actress, Jazzy De Lisser, 33. Looking every inch a catwalk star, Lila - whose father is magazine boss Jefferson Hack - showed off her figure in the a £335 lace slip from the collection. Lila confidently posed for a string of snaps during her wild night out on the island. The group of girls - all wearing matching dresses from the celebrity favourite label - got ready at designer Annie Doble's house before heading across the street to Ibiza Town hotspot La Oliva for dinner. They drank Pimm's and espresso martinis and tucked into bowls of fresh pasta and truffle French fries followed by chocolate fondant for dessert. They then hit the famous nightclub DC10, where Lila and Lola posed under red neon lights and sipped cocktails while dressed in their coordinating slips and oversized sunglasses. 'Best night,' Lila commented on Annie's Ibiza's Instagram post, which was liked by models Poppy Delevingne and Abbey Clancy. Annie's Ibiza - the brainchild of designer Annie Doble - has dressed some of the biggest stars including Kate Moss, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton. Known for its maximalist, sparkly partywear and vintage finds, the boutique has become the unofficial fashion headquarters of Ibiza's elite. Debute London is the rising label making waves in the industry thanks to its co-founders' impeccable fashion pedigree and eye for drama. Lola is the daughter of the late Scottish racing driver and aristocrat the Marquess of Bute. Jazzy will soon be starring with Brooklyn Beckham's wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in a new dramatic thriller, Pretty Ugly. Lila and her supermodel mother have previously spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship. Kate told Vogue in 2023: 'There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you'll catch a cold – even if I wasn't that strict. Now that she's 21, Lila's the one setting rules for me. 'Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love... She's flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she's still so young in my mind... 'I feel like I'd already lived quite a few lives by Lila's age. I'd gone abroad. I'd had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... 'Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the '90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.' 'She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her – I've made sure of that. And let's face it, she's a lot more sensible than I was back then. I mean… thank God. Ha!'

New Barbie with type 1 diabetes could help kids with the condition feel seen – and help others learn
Barbie has done many things since she first appeared in 1959. She's been an astronaut, a doctor, a president and even a palaeontologist. Now, in 2025, Barbie is something else: a woman with type 1 diabetes. Mattel's latest Barbie was recently launched by Lila Moss, a British model who lives with type 1 diabetes. The doll comes with a visible insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, devices many people with diabetes rely on. To some people, this might seem like just another version of the doll. But to kids living with type 1 diabetes – especially young girls – it's a big deal. This new Barbie is not just a toy. It's about being seen. What is type 1 diabetes? Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the body stops making insulin, the hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. It's not caused by lifestyle or diet. It's an autoimmune condition (a disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells) and often starts in childhood. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day, often through multiple injections or an insulin pump. They also need to check their blood sugar regularly, using finger pricks or a continuous glucose monitor worn on the skin (usually the upper arm). Although type 1 diabetes can be effectively managed, there is no cure. Millions of people across the world live with this condition, and numbers are on the rise. In Australia, type 1 diabetes affects more than 13,000 children and teens, while in New Zealand, around 2,500 children under 18 have type 1 diabetes. Globally, 1.8 million young people are affected. Managing type 1 diabetes isn't easy for children Young people with type 1 diabetes must think about their condition every day – at school, during sports, at sleepovers and even while playing. They may have to stop what they're doing and check their blood sugar levels. It can feel isolating and frustrating. Stigma is a big issue for children and young people with type 1 diabetes. Some young people feel embarrassed using their insulin pumps or checking their blood sugar in public. One study found pre-teens with diabetes sometimes felt they received unwanted attention when using devices such as insulin pumps and glucose monitors. Stigma can make young people less likely to take care of their diabetes, which can create problems for their health. Seeing a Barbie with an insulin pump and glucose monitor could make a significant difference. Children form their sense of identity early, and toys play a surprisingly powerful role in that process. While children with type 1 diabetes can often feel different from their peers, toys can help normalise their experience and reduce the sense of isolation that can come with managing a chronic condition. Research shows toys and media such as books and TV shows reflecting children's experiences can boost self-esteem, reduce stigma and improve emotional wellbeing. For girls especially, Barbie is more than a doll. She represents what is often perceived to be admired or desirable and this can influence how girls perceive their own bodies. A Barbie with a glucose monitor and insulin pump sends a clear message: this is part of real life. You're not alone. That kind of visibility is empowering. It tells children their condition doesn't define them or limit their potential. It also helps challenge outdated stereotypes about illness and disability. Some may worry a doll with a medical condition might make playtime too serious or scary. But in reality, play is how kids learn about the world. Toys that reflect real life – including health issues – can help children process emotions, ask questions, reduce fear and feel more in control. A broader shift towards inclusivity and representation Mattel's new Barbie shows diabetes and the devices needed to manage the condition in a positive, everyday way, and that matters. It can start conversations and help kids without diabetes learn what those devices are and why someone wears them. It builds understanding early. Mattel has added to its range of Barbies in recent years to showcase the beauty that everyone has. There are now Barbies with a wide range of skin tones, hair textures, body types and disabilities – including dolls with hearing aids, vitiligo (loss of skin pigmentation) and wheelchairs. The diabetes Barbie is part of this broader shift toward inclusivity and should be applauded. Every child should be able to find toys that reflect who they are, and the people they love. This Barbie won't make diabetes go away. But she might help a child feel more seen, more confident, more like their peers. She might help a classmate understand that a glucose monitor isn't scary – it's just something some people need. She might make a school nurse's job easier when explaining to teachers or students how to support a student with diabetes. Living with type 1 diabetes as a child is tough. Anything that helps kids feel a little more included, and a little less different, is worth celebrating. A doll might seem small. But to the right child, at the right moment, it could mean everything.

Barbie with type 1 diabetes will 'break down stigma'
The mother of a teenager with type 1 diabetes says the latest addition to the Barbie range of dolls will help children understand more about the new doll was launched last week by Lila Moss, a 22-year-old model who has diabetes, as part of a drive to increase representation by toy manufacturer features a glucose monitor and insulin pump, along with a blue polka-dot top and skirt. The colour blue and circle print are used around the world to represent diabetes from Cleethorpes, whose 14-year-old son Will lives with the condition, said it was "breaking down the stigma" around diabetes. "Will for a long time didn't want a pod or a sensor because it was a visible thing that everybody would instantly know," Holly the latest addition to the Barbie range was a positive step, in a similar way to Barbie dolls that use wheelchairs, she added."It's inclusive and I think it's a good thing." Will said he was now quite used to managing his diabetes and having to "work out my carbs before I have stuff".Talking about the doll, he said it was "nice to be included", though when asked if he would play with one, he replied: "I don't think so."Will's younger sister, Alice, 8, said children who played with the doll "could pretend and maybe understand it and discover more about diabetes"."It's really important," she US toy giant had previously faced criticism that the traditional Barbie was not representative of most recent years, the firm has created dolls with a hearing aid, a prosthetic limb and a latest addition has also been welcomed by support groups and health Curtis, from the Hull and District Diabetes Support Group, who has lived with the condition himself for more than 30 years, said: "I think the idea of this doll is absolutely brilliant for Curtis said support and education were "essential", adding: "I think this is a great leap forward." Debbie Hicks, who developed the diabetes specialist nursing service in Hull, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1973, aged about its impact, she said: "Never knowing anybody with diabetes it was a complete shock for all of the family."It wasn't something we had ever come across – it was a total new way of life that both myself and my family had to adopt."You wouldn't believe that, at 12, I was using a glass syringe and needle that had to be sharpened once a week."Commenting on the doll, she said that although technology for managing the condition had greatly improved over the years, anything that helped to further raise awareness was very welcome.
