EXCLUSIVE 'You're a danger to your children': Shocking comment a doctor made to SARAH VINE after the trials of motherhood and marriage left her balding, struggling to shift the baby weight and full of self-hatred
Most people are first impressed with someone's looks, their physical prowess, their ability to dance. I fell for Michael Gove 's modesty, the fact that his physical bumbling was in such contrast to his razor-sharp brain and his wit: there is no funnier person in the room. I'd met him when a friend told me someone dropped out of a skiing holiday and I decided a short break would be a good idea. Michael, who was also going, was comment editor of The Times. I'd just become a commissioning editor of one of its supplements and was yet to start my new job.

HK actor Moses Chan decides to stand in queue at a restaurant, commended by netizens
HONG KONG: With an annual salary of HK$30 million (S$4.9 million), actor Moses Chan is considered the highest-paid talent on TVB. His admirers are still impressed by his extraordinary modesty . Photo: Instagram/Moses Chan The internet has been buzzing a bit about Chan, who is 54. Apparently, someone saw him just casually queueing up alone outside a popular, crowded eatery in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong. It just goes to show that even big celebrities do the same things we do, like waiting for a good meal. Chan was seen wearing a plain yet refined outfit, consisting of a beige short-sleeved shirt, matching shorts, socks, and sandals, in a photo shared on Xhiohongshu. Knows how to dress well In the caption, the netizen wrote that the Hong Kong artist always knows how to dress well and is considered the best-dressed TVB male artist. Chan's decision to wait in line like any other customer, rather than using his popularity to secure a reservation, was immediately praised by netizens. The actor still managed to stand out in the crowd, as noted by others, even in casual wear and a face mask. Someone online was impressed, saying that Chan is a true superstar because he chose to wait in line like everyone else instead of trying to pull strings and get a reservation. Captivating and manly persona Chan has received numerous honours since entering the entertainment business in 1994. He is well-known for his captivating and manly persona. Chan is definitely a top-notch actor! He's actually won the Best Actor award at the big TVB Anniversary Awards not just once, but twice—first for his amazing performance in Heart Of Greed back in 2007 and then again more recently for Narcotics Heroes in 2023. He has been in numerous popular series over the years. You might remember him from classics like War and Beauty. For his role in War and Beauty (that was way back in 2004!), Chan won the 'My Favourite Television Character' award at the TVB Anniversary Awards. He also won My Favourite Male Character at the TVB Anniversary Awards for Heart of Greed (2007). Real family man What's also great about Chan is that he's a real family man at heart. He's married to Aimee Chan, a Canadian actress who also lives and works in Hong Kong, and they've built a beautiful family with three children: Aiden, who is 11, Nathan, who is 10, and their little girl, Camilla, who is nine. They appear to be a close and happy family. People in the industry and fans alike often call him 'TVB's most gentlemanly star,' and it's easy to see why. He's known for being extremely friendly, totally dedicated to his family, always polite, and genuinely chivalrous. Chan is more than just a familiar face on TV. He's a talented actor with a great reputation, both on and off-screen.

I'm a flight attendant of 6 years… five outfits I'd NEVER wear on a plane, including the one-piece that's a double no-no
A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the five outfits you should never wear on a plane. Cher explained that thanks to her job, she's learned exactly the styles to don - and those to avoid - when travelling. 3 The first is a playsuit. "This is a double no-no," she said in a video on her TikTok page. "I would never, never, never wear a romper going to the bathroom. "That thing is gonna end up on the floor which is soaked with pee and it doesn't get mopped often." She also insisted that she's "never wear shorts". "The amount of times that dirty nappies get changed on the seats is astonishing - not to mention people vomit," she said. "People are dirty themselves and are sitting in the seats. "They're asking for ringworm or a staph infection by wearing shorts." The next thing that's on Cher's banned list is flip flops, as she said that the plane carpet is "filthy", and she wouldn't "want my toes anywhere near an open exposure to that". While the third is a boob tube top, as she explained that while you're probably going to "freeze to death", she also prefers to "err on the side of modesty when it comes to travelling". Air Hostess Reveals The Truth About the Mile High Club "Don't hate me," she urged. "I'm not a trad wife!" And lastly, Cher admitted she'd never wear a jumper without putting something underneath it. "I've had actual medical emergencies because somebody has overheated and we've had to take her top off," she added. "She was just having to sit in her bra in the cabin! "Layers are so important when flying "It can either be so freezing or burning hot, and hot on a plane is a different kind of heat." Plane etiquette IF you're planning on going away any time soon, you'll need to pay attention to the following unwritten plane etiquette rules... RECLINING SEAT: Podcast host and etiquette expert Nick Leighton explained that you shouldn't recline your seat if the passenger behind you is working on their laptop. He said: "Nobody likes their laptop snapped in half." Before you recline your seat, it's best to check to see what the passenger behind you is doing. If they are on a laptop, ask before you move your seat back. FEET: A flight attendant told The Sun: "Your boarding card tells you a number and a letter, this will be the reserved seat that you have paid for. "Your feet, which are attached to your body, should do their best to reside within this space and stay far away from anyone else. "If you do insist on stretching out, please make sure your feet are covered up." CHAT: TV travel expert Samantha Brown explained that conversations from strangers aren't welcome, suggesting that others shouldn't expect a chat. She added: "I'm not a talker. Plane time is me time." People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: "The amount of people I see traveling in shorts and flip-flops is absolutely mind blowing!" "I thought it would be a good idea to wear a jumpsuit on a flight to Europe. NEVER AGAIN!" another vowed. "I don't ever use the lavatory," a third insisted. "I wipe the seat and trays with sanitising wipes. "Planes are disgusting!" "I have a rule of thumb, I need to be dressed for a crash!" someone else said. "This does not help my germ issues," another sighed.

Helena Christensen, 56, shows off her enviable figure in a plunging blue dress as she leaves her hotel at the Cannes Film Festival
Helena Christensen showed off her enviable figure on Sunday as she stepped out on day six of the Cannes Film Festival in a plunging blue dress. The model posed up a storm in her laid-back look as she enjoyed the sunny weather at the French Riviera. Helena's look, however, still relatively conservative following the festival's ban on risqué outfits and stretched down to the model's ankles. She cut a casually stylish figure outside the Hotel Martinez, pairing the dress with black flip-flops, a pink bag and oversized brown sunglasses. The look was finished by her decision to pin back her hair, creating a cool look for the summer sunshine. The Victoria's Secret model has been enjoying the festival since Wednesday, attending the opening ceremony and screening of Quentin Dupieux's new comedy film, Le Deuxieme Acte. The model posed up a storm in her laid-back look as she enjoyed the sunny weather at the French Riviera On Friday, Helena attended the screening of Bono's new film, Bono: Stories of Surrender. Her outfit then was even more show-stopping and consisted of a long, pink cocktail dress and oversized featured scarf. This too was in-keeping with the new modesty rules that have dramatically changed the looks showcased at Cannes in 2025. Devised for 'the sake of decency,' the austere move is an attempt to stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet. 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' The new rules come amid increased controversy caused by naked dresses this year, with Bianca Censori notably causing outrage at the 2025 Grammy Awards by wearing a completely see-through garment. The shocking outfit was initially hidden by a fur coat, which Bianca removed at the request of her husband Kanye West. However, it is not just the stars who are expected to cover up at this year's event, so too are attendees. The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour. Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed seven day schedule in Cannes. It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline-grabbing ensembles. Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted. While the decision to implement a more stringent policy will be a first, it is not known if French TV broadcasters, wary of airing nudity, played a role in its enforcement.

Fashion fans erupt as etiquette expert reveals events that require an unwritten 'modest' dress code
A fierce debate has erupted on social media about when it's appropriate to wear more modest attire. One woman is going viral on TikTok after telling her followers that some occasions have an unwritten more covered-up dress code. Content creator The New Brook shared a video that received 545,000 likes, where she explained: 'In case you didn't hear it from your mother, some occasions have an expectation of modesty.' The creator added, 'That means even though it's not explicitly written in a dress code, the expectation is that you'll be classily, modestly, and appropriately dressed.' Commenters quickly explained the scenarios where women should opt for the proper garments, including court, the Kentucky Derby, weddings, funerals, graduation, children's events, or a house of worship. 'The expectation isn't a personal attack on your freedom and rights, it's just a bit of social grace that we've abandoned in our search for individualism,' one commenter complained. 'Everyone is triggered by the word modest but this is about etiquette. A lot of people are unaware that etiquette should be taken into account when dressing and it goes for men and women,' another person said. To find out when it's time to wear more modest ensembles, FEMAIL consulted etiquette expert Myka Meier, who explained 'when it comes to dressing more modestly or appropriately, it has nothing to do with gender, and it's really about honoring the tone and formality of the occasion to show respect.' To find out when it's time to wear more modest ensembles, FEMAIL consulted etiquette expert Myka Meier, who explained 'when it comes to dressing more modestly or appropriately, it has nothing to do with gender, and it's really about honoring the tone and formality of the occasion' Myka told 'Whether it's a courtroom, a funeral, a graduation, or even a traditional workplace, dressing with decorum isn't about covering up, but is more about showing respect for the setting and the people around you that share it. 'Just like we wouldn't wear a swimsuit to a job interview, we naturally shift our wardrobe to reflect the formality or even the emotional weight of the event.' Many people were shocked when major influencers Alix Earle and Gabi Moura wore plunging ensembles to the Derby this year, with one person calling the dresses 'absurd.' Alix even suffered a wardrobe malfunction in her low-cut black halter dress. However, some commenters the event didn't necessitate decorum, because as one replied, it is 'literally centered around gambling, drinking, and gross displays of wealth and status.' Plenty of people quickly jumped to the influencers defense, as one person said, 'If this is about Gabriela, the Kentucky Derby's official TT page posted her in the dress that sparked the "controversy." If they don't see it as an issue, then neither should anyone else.' Myka told FEMAIL that while the Derby 'has long been known for polished fashion and over the top hats' and looks have gotten trendier over time 'it's still an event with its own unspoken dress code.' 'While there isn't a formal dress code at the Derby, dressing in elegant attire is a cherished part of the event's culture,' Myka revealed. 'Certain areas within Churchill Downs, such as the clubhouse and suites, have guidelines that suggest business casual or cocktail attire, including jackets, blazers, dresses, or pantsuits, and I think it's important to dress and act to show respect the culture we find ourselves in.' However, Myka also thinks that 'if the Derby has made a conscious choice not to release restrictions it's up to the guest to interpret, especially since the sister race, the Royal Ascot, has a very strict, enforced dress code. Some TikTok commenters thought people wearing racy outfits to more traditional places was generational, as someone said, 'Why is Gen Z so allergic to decorum.' Myka agreed that there has been a shift, as Gen Z is 'unafraid to challenge norms,' which has led to them 'redefining' decorum. One person on TikTok explained 'it's not an attack on femininity, body shaming, or trying to control women. It's just decency and decorum. Y'all slay, but time and place matters.' The etiquette expert agreed, 'decorum means to wear something that shows respect to the culture, or formality of a place or event, which is also what I call situational awareness.'
