Cut my long hair at 71? No chance! In this enchanting picture diary JEANETTE KUPFERMANN

When I look in the mirror, I see my entire history staring back at me. It’s all there in my long hair — the same style I’ve been wearing for more than 60 years. So I was horrified last week to learn that TV presenter Davina McCall is coming under pressure to chop off her gorgeous, shiny brown hair. Mother-of-three Davina says that, at 45, her grandmother thinks she’s too old to have long hair.

For 40 years, young women worldwide have either saved up for, or been gifted, a Tiffany Ms Peretti-designed Open Heart or Starfish necklace as a mark of life's milestones.

Jewellery icons: Elsa Peretti designed both the Open Heart and Starfish necklaces, some of Tiffany's most iconic pieces The company said it has made an offer to buy the designer's intellectual property, however according to the report filed by Tiffany, the two sides cannot come to an agreement on a price. Since 2009, Ms Peretti's designed jewellery has accounted for ten per cent of Tiffany’s net sales, and in 2011, Tiffany repor

The Queen of style: The beautiful gowns and precious jewellery

London couturier Norman Hartnell was the man the Queen chose to dress her for all the pomp and circumstance of the special occasions in her life. He designed her wedding dress for her marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947 and her Coronation dress six years later, as well as many of the gowns she wore on other state occasions. His grand creations made her the very image of royalty... The wedding of Princess Elizabeth to her third cousin, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, in 1947 was a long-awaited moment of glamour in the austere post-war years. Hartnell’s dress and its 15ft star-patterned train incorporated symbols of rebirth and growth Showing due respect for a fellow monarch, the Queen introduced the rich yellow of Thailand’s Order of the Royal House of Chakri into the beaded panels of her Hartnell dress for her state visit to the South-East Asian kingdom in 1972 Flying the flag overseas has always been high on the Queen's agenda.
