EXCLUSIVE Hollywood plastic surgeons reveal which celebrities had Met Gala work... and the star who 'went a bit overboard'

Extravagant outfits were on full display at the Met Gala this week, but equally visible was celebrities' obsession with cosmetic 'tweakments' and surgeries.
'As the Met Gala continues to be a global barometer for beauty and style, it's clear that facial aesthetics are becoming just as influential as fashion on the red carpet,' said Dr. Norman Rowe, a celebrity-favorite plastic surgeon in New York.

Weekly horoscope for June 22 – June 28: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed

OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes. Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20 12 With Mercury sharpening your creative thinking, you possess the ability to review numerous ideas and instantly identify the best one for you. While barriers may still emerge, they will now seem temporary and beatable. In love, it's tempting to keep planning a grand reveal, but your chart is ready for you to simply go for it. A family new moon favors fresh ways of bonding with someone whose name begins with "D." TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21 12 Sticking to your convictions on a family issue may not be easy, but you can achieve it by consistently returning to the "why" rather than fretting over the "how." While you generally dislike conflict, healthy debate can be very healing for you this week. In terms of passion, the new moon helps loosen any shyness, allowing partners to relate on a new level of absolute honesty. If you're single, "The One" might get your name wrong at first. GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 12 Your chart grants you the energy to restart a cash calculation; play your part by applying your firmest focus and keeping negative voices out of your head. This is a week of communication ease, thanks to Mercury, as even words you assumed were lost in translation could begin to yield rewards. So, do be patient a little longer. Passion brings back a fantasy face. CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 12 With Mars now established in your connections sector, you have the courage to contact anyone, even when unsure of the response. So, use this while it's hot. If you're in love, a personal new moon is your "try-anything" trump card—ask again, and a partner may have changed their mind. If you're single, no one is out of your league; remember that around someone whose name begins with "K." LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 12 The logic and mental sparkle of Mercury are all yours for the next few weeks, so how will you use it? From writing effective reports to putting difficult feelings into words, you can persuade and promote in your own unique way. Your words could even feature on a stage or screen. A secret that is starting to bother you needs some attention; the new moon can help. VIRGO AUG 24 - SEPT 22 12 Your focus is on the friendship world, and who may need more from you at this time. This could be the least likely person to ask, yet your moon instinct is strong, so do listen to it. If you're in a relationship, Venus keeps a door open while you decide, but this may not be forever. If you're single, your dream date has so many travel stories to tell. Luck circles someone whose name begins with "F." LIBRA SEPT 23 - OCT 23 12 Choosing the right goal at the right time is your big decision this week, and the light of the new moon is your best guide. Even if an ambition isn't the biggest or most impressive, if it feels right, it is right. But you must promise yourself not to keep looking back—only forward. Love that asks more questions than it answers can be a challenge, but an irresistible one. SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22 New destinations and a fresh sense of pushing boundaries make your chart dance this week—there's nothing you can't take on when you set your heart on it. But beware of using this strength to slip over some love-lines, perhaps linked to someone not completely free. A better option can be right there when you truly look. Mercury boosts quick-reaction time for prizes. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 12 As your learning ability increases almost overnight, this can be your moment to get back to a study or practical experience course. Previous blocks can be gone, and the road to your future feels wide open. You've also taken lessons on board in love, and even against the odds, you should be safe from repeating a recent mistake. So, do trust your heart again, totally. CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20 12 So many aspects of yourself may have puzzled you lately, but now Mercury brings some understanding, plus the ability to push forward again. You can deal with doubts and cope with uncertainty, setting a new standard for everyone else in your life. A moon of reconciliation gets two sides talking again, and a team can be back together. Love is lighter, with a two-way sense of fun. AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 18 12 Sticking to a health track, even when it no longer feels like a great fit, is not the Aquarius answer. This week, you can read or hear about something that could be so much better, and you will recognize it straight away. If you're in love, Mercury adds forward-planning to Venus's security, and some big plans can be made. If you're single, a dull date can hide such a hot prospect. PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20 12 With the heat of the sun and the insight of the new moon both lighting up your creative chart, ideas flow thick and fast, and at least one can be well underway by the weekend. The key is starting strong, even when the plan isn't quite perfect, as you have the initiative to alter it along the way. Passion links to voices, and the way you simply can't ignore one special one.

Billi Mucklow glams up for Towie wedding – while ex Andy Carroll is quizzed by police over girlfriend rows

BILLI Mucklow looked sensational after glamming up for the wedding of her Towie pals Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallett. The former Towie star, 37, sizzled in a bright red off-the-shoulder gown with sweeping sheer skirt at the lavish nuptials. 7 7 7 7 Billi's frock had a sexy thigh-high split and she looked stunning while posing with other members of the wedding party and gorgeous bride Georgia. The pictures of Billi at Georgia and Tommy's second wedding, which was held in Mallorca, come after her ex Andy Carroll was quizzed by police. The Sun on Sunday has exclusively revealed how the ex-Premier League footballer was questioned over bust-ups with his girlfriend Lou Teasdale on the Greek party island Mykonos. Carroll and make-up artist to the stars Lou are said to have rowed at a packed beachside restaurant and then at their hotel. One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: 'We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately. 'He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner. 'He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.' Police arrived after the first incident and took the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham ace to one side for a chat. He was later allowed to return to Lou. But just hours later, police were called again by alarmed staff after reports of damage to the couple's room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel. Officers are said to have escorted Carroll to a local station for questioning. He was not arrested and it is understood no further action was taken. A joint statement from Carroll and Lou said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' The Mykonos hotel and police on the island declined to comment when contacted last night. Meanwhile, Billi touched down in Mallorca last week ahead of Georgia and Tommy's wedding. The mum-of-three, who also looks after Carroll's two eldest children from a previous relationship, looked incredible as she showed her ex what he is missing in a bikini. She has since shared a selection of photos from Georgia and Tommy's big day. They previously said 'I do' in 2023. Billi gushed: "Congratulations @georgiakousoulou & @iamtommyfordham. "The best day & night celebrating you both ❤️." Billi announced her split with Carroll in October last year. He confirmed his romance with Lou just weeks later. 7 7 7

In the Arena: Serena Williams review – there is just no one in the world that matches up to her (and her sister)

Serena Williams, holder of 39 grand slam titles and four Olympic gold medals, who spent 319 weeks as tennis's world No 1 and became the highest-earning female athlete in history, never thought she was that good when she was a young player. That was because she was always training against her older sister, Venus ('she was the prodigy of prodigies'), the only person in the world who could really challenge her. A year younger, Serena remembers being shorter and weaker and resorting to cheating on line calls at practice so she could occasionally beat her. In the Arena: Serena Williams (the title comes from President Roosevelt's 1910 speech to the Sorbonne – 'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena' so, yes, consider me told) is an eight-part docuseries that covers Serena's rise and rise over her 27-year tennis career before she retired three years ago. Since then, incidentally, she has been busy with her venture capital firm, production company, body care and pain relief startup, beauty line and raising two children. Honestly, it's like looking in a mirror, is it not? In the Arena was executive produced by Serena and is clearly meant to be the definitive version of events. It would be too strong to call it hagiographic, but it is a full-blooded celebration of her achievements. It is not the place to come if you want, for example, an interrogation of the techniques used by the sisters' astonishing father and coach, Richard Williams, to mould two champions. 'My dad was a marketing genius,' says Serena of his marshalling of press attention round his children in the early years, regardless, some might say and have said, of the psychological impact. 'There's a very thin line between parent and coach … But I would say at the end it was all worth it,' is as far as Serena goes here in acknowledging the criticism Richard has faced for his intense focus on their professional success. Then it's on to the good stuff. The sisters turning pro – Venus flying from the start, Serena stumbling slightly before she too took off. The beating of rivals and established stars ('I was determined, determined to take her down … I'm coming for you. I'm coming for everyone') and their swift domination of a game that had hitherto been almost solely the preserve of a white, moneyed elite. 'Little sisters from Compton. Can't really take that too seriously, right?' Inevitably, of course, they begin to meet in grand slam finals. The footage – the grace, the power of them – is astonishing. Almost as astonishing, if in a gradually emerging way, is the grace with which they handle the competition between them, the wins and the losses. Serena talks about benefiting from Venus going first in everything, from turning pro, to handling good and bad press, to playing individuals Serena will later face in tournaments. They talk with sincerity about being pleased for each other's wins even as they mourn and analyse their own losses. And they talk about the bifurcation between life as sisters and life as absolutely dedicated competitors and not letting either one infect the other. They warmed up together before their first joint grand slam final, the 2001 US Open. Venus won. 'I can't say I enjoyed it. I did what I had to do.' 'I wasn't happy,' adds Serena. 'But I was OK. She was the phenom. It was never me.' Her turn would come. She learned to pretend she was playing someone else when it was Venus on the other side of the net. By the time Wimbledon rolled round a year later, she was ready to be No 1. 'I gotta have it,' Serena grins, remembering. 'That's what I need in my life. Because it's just an extension of who I was. As Thanos says: I was inevitable. I couldn't stop the roll.' Nor could anyone – including the haters behind the racial and misogynist abuse she dealt with – or anything, including the difficult birth of her first child, in 2017, which nearly killed her. She retired in 2022, and plunged straight into what is already a highly successful and lucrative second act. It would be fascinating to compare and contrast another pair of sisters or – perhaps even more fascinatingly – a pair of brothers who followed the same trajectory. Would they have stayed so close, maintained the same boundaries between love and work, or would they have disappeared under the pressure of competition? Would they have spurred each other on to greater heights in the same way, or destroyed each other? Would they remain such generous supporters of each other, or have combusted by now? What makes the mind not just of a champion – but of a champion who survives the ride intact? Maybe one day we'll find out. But there is as yet nothing to compare to Serena or to Venus separately, let alone together. In the Arena: Serena Williams airs on BBC One and is on iPlayer now
