Kate Moss was moved to tears at her wedding.
The supermodel – who tied the knot with The Kills rocker Jamie Hince at a ceremony held in St Peter’s Church in Southrop, South West England, last Friday- couldn’t control her emotions on the big day and was “absolutely ecstatic” to be surrounded by so many loved ones as she tied the knot, her dad Peter has revealed.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “It was fantastic, very lovely day. The wedding was not as rock ‘n’ roll as you’d think. It was a very good party, but not a party that went on for three days, exactly.
“Kate was absolutely ecstatic and moved to tears to have all her friends and family around her.
“When you’ve got two or three hundred friends with you then it’s going to be a good day isn’t it?”
Guests at the wedding included Naomi Campbell, Sadie Frost and her ex-husband Jude Law, former Clash rocker Mick Jones and Topshop boss Sir Philip Green.
Kate – who had 15 bridesmaids at the ceremony, including her eight-year-old daughter Lily Grace – attempted to make sure her day went without any disturbances by asking for military planes flying from nearby RAF Brize Norton to be diverted or postponed, but the request was “politely” turned down.
A military source told The Sun newspaper: “Kate should consider herself lucky she just got a polite refusal.
“RAF Brize Norton is a fully operational wartime air base.
“Flights from the base carry troops and vital equipment directly to Afghanistan. These flights are absolutely crucial. The idea that the top military brass would put these flights on hold or change their routes just to give a celeb some peace on their wedding day is absolutely inconceivable.”

Kimberley Walsh believes the biggest beauty faux-pas is being sunburnt.
The Girls Aloud singer says she loves having a tan but is very careful when she goes out in the sun by wearing protection and adds to her glow with a bronzer.
She said: “I always use moisturiser with an SPF to protect my face, especially in hot weather. Sunburn is not a good look!
“I love looking bronzed but can’t bear the smell of fake tan, so Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder is perfect for my cheeks. I apply it below my cheekbones to create a sculpted look.”
As well as bronzer, Kimberley likes to glam up her look with lip gloss as she believes it gives the perfect finishing touch.
She told new! magazine: “I’m a big fan of MAC lipglosses – I have so many shades! At the moment I like using a pinky coral shade – perfect for summer.”

Julien Macdonald has always dreamed of dressing Beyonce Knowles.
The Welsh designer was thrilled when the ‘Run the World (Girls)’ hitmaker wore his creations three times in a week, including on the ‘Good Morning America’ show and admits he is a big fan of the star.
He said: “Creating a look for Beyonce has been a long term dream of mine, as I have been a fan for a very long time.
“I feel incredibly flattered she has chosen my design to represent her on such an international platform.”
Julien – a former British Fashion Designer of the year – felt “honoured” to have been chosen to design for the singer and believes his creations showed the best of his brand.
He added to Vogue.com: “Meeting Beyonce to discuss this collaboration, and the whole design process, has been an incredible experience. I’m honoured to have worked with her.
“The fringed knitwear dress which I have created for her reflects the knitwear heritage and very best of the Julien Macdonald brand.”
While Julien loved designing for Beyonce, he recently experienced a less star-studded platform for his creations when he returned to Wales to join forces with Jeff Banks to put on a charity fashion event to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Nurses and cancer survivors took to the catwalk along with local celebrities and models.
Julien said: “We’ve got five local girls lining up alongside celebrities and sportsmen in some glamorous dresses and we are all helping a great cause.”

Christopher Bailey admits Burberry was in an “old rut” when he joined.
The designer started at the fashion house in May 2001 as creative director before being made chief creative director in November 2009 and says there was a lot of work to do to make the brand more modern.
He said: “I never wanted to be a number one person; I was always happy being a number two person. When I joined Burberry, I was 29 – a kid – and Burberry was very old, not specifically in age, but in its mindset. Burberry was just in an old rut. There was no energy whatsoever, it was a company based on past glory.”
Since Christopher joined, the label has experience a huge resurgence and he believes it’s because everyone who works there enjoys their job.
He told Britain’s Vogue magazine: “We’re a young team, but we’re now. We’re the biggest grower in the FTSE, with over 7,000 employees. And it’s serious, and I take that as a serious responsibility – the decisions we’re making affect a lot of people’s lives – and it’s busy. It’s fun!
“You can either decide this is a hellish nightmare or you can decide this is fun. What I’ve learnt is, I’m quite thirsty for moving on, for newness. I love new projects.”

Katy Perry claims her Purr fragrance is “like the Goldilocks of perfume.”
The ‘California Gurls’ hitmaker claims people can tell from their very first sniff that the “cute” scent is “just right” and matched perfectly to her wild, fun loving, loud and convivial nature.
She said: “It’s like the Goldilocks of perfume. It s not too much, it’s not too forgettable, it’s just right. It’s basically me in a bottle. I think a lot of people go up and they go, ‘That’s definitely Katy Perry. This is definitely Katy Perry’s perfume.’ ”
Katy is topping charts with her debut perfume, Purr, as well as with her songs, as the scent has been number one every week since it was launched in Canada.
Speaking on TV show Entertainment Tonight Canada she added: “It’s been out for nine weeks and it’s been number one for nine weeks.”
Katy also gave advice on the best way to apply the scent.
She said: “I usually spray and walk through. I never spray directly on
“I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to spray directly on the skin. Then it’s not so concentrated, because everybody knows sometimes when a woman walks into a room, she can smell like her grandmother.”
The ‘Firework’ singer also spent a long time researching the scent’s lavender cat-shaped bottle.
She added: “I would go into endless department stores all over the world and look at what was on the shelves.
“I remember some of the Galliano perfumes that were like snow globes. I was like, ‘Well, when the perfume is finished I just want to keep this on my mantle, because it’s such a fun little bottle.”

Lady Gaga has “worshipped” Madonna her whole life.
The ‘Edge Of Glory’ hitmaker – whose musical style has been compared to that of the legendary singer – explained she also feels “connected to and inspired by” the likes of Barbra Streisand, Cher and Blondie.
She told The Advocate magazine: “They’re my sisters. I feel so connected to Madonna in a lot of ways, and I feel connected to Barbra, and I feel connected to Cher and Blondie and all of the women who came before me.
“I worshipped them my whole life, and I would never be where I am today without all of them to inspire me. I feel so grateful that I have such strong women to look up to.”
It would appear the feeling is mutual for Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry, who recently praised Lady Gaga for bring a breath of fresh air to the US music scene.
She said: “Gaga is truly talented and slightly mad. I find her encouraging.
“It’s such a conservative period in the US. We have even had attempts at censorship, which I find appalling and terrible. Artists like Gaga are necessary during periods like this.”

Kate Moss has had her marriage blessed by monks.
The supermodel tied the knot with The Kills rocker Jamie Hince at St Peter’s Church in Southrop, Cotswolds, South West England, on Friday and later in the day the couple were joined by a small group of their closest friends for another ceremony in a tipi conducted by a trio of Buddhist monks.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “The three monks gave Kate and Jamie a spiritual blessing as a good luck charm for their days as man and wife.”
Kate – who had 14 bridesmaids – and Jamie’s wedding was attended by many children, including the model’s own eight-year-old daughter Lila Grace, and the couple arranged for a special bar to serve non-alcoholic cocktails so the younger guests wouldn’t feel left out from the partying at the model’s home after the ceremony.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Kate had special fruit juice concoctions made up for the kids – all non-alcoholic.
“She wanted them to feel grown up on her special day.
“She also had unisex toilets installed for a more bohemian vibe.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley feels more confident when she has a suntan.
The model-and-actress likes her skin to be sunkissed but isn’t a fan of sunbathing bathing or sunbeds so uses lots of bronzing powder and fake tan as it’s the safest option.
She said: “I love BeneFit’s Hoola bronzing powder. More women have discovered that they look great with a tan and they also look and feel sexier. It’s also much healthier and safer than going in the sun and using sunbeds. Looking after your skin has become more fashionable.
“I love to be tanned before I go to awards ceremonies and parties. Self-tanning is the way forward – especially for me. As a Victoria’s Secret model, I like to be tanned when I shoot lingerie. It gives me a confidence boost, I feel healthy and of course I look great. The tan makes your skin glow on camera.”
As well as being tanned, Rosie always loves wearing her leather trousers.
The ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ star told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I couldn’t live without my Les Chiffoniers leather trousers, I live in them. I wear them for shopping, dinner and nights out.”
