Princess Beatrice shows off her glamorous frame, left, the result of a strict fitness regime

Growing up in the spotlight is never easy.

But these days Princess Beatrice cuts a much more confident figure.

The 22-year-old student showed off the full extent of her stunning weight loss this weekend as she holidayed with her long-term boyfriend Dave Clark on a £400,000-a-week super-yacht in the South of France.

As she sunned herself off the coast of Antibes, Beatrice’s black strapless swim suit displayed her slender frame to perfection.

And while the frills across her chest and hips highlighted the curves inherited from her mother the Duchess of York, the Queen’s granddaughter showed that she has kept up the regime developed with her personal fitness instructor in the lead-up to last year’s London Marathon.
 
Her toned appearance on Sunday was a far cry from pictures of the Princess in a tight blue bikini in the Caribbean in 2008, which spurred her shedding her puppy fat.

Beatrice told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘It was such an unflattering bikini and I've got one that's so much nicer, so I could have kicked myself for wearing it.

'I thought people were a bit mean, although I know it comes with the territory. The trouble is, I don't have much confidence so it can be quite upsetting. I could probably do with losing the odd pound though, so perhaps it is the kick I need.'

But this weekend the royal’s self-assurance was palpable as she changed into a bikini and let down her auburn locks.

Watched by admiring friends on the 195ft German-built yacht Oasis where she and 29-year-old Mr Clark are thought to have stayed as guests, Beatrice leapt into the air on the end of a trapeze before plunging into the Mediterranean.

An equally svelte Mr Clark, a millionaire’s son who works for Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson, executed an impressive back-flip from the boat’s second deck.

The six-berth yacht comes with a crew of 15 and a gym that transforms into a private nightclub. According to online advertisements, it can be chartered for between £285,000 and £418,000 a week.

Beatrice, who has faced a battle with her weight similar to that of her mother, has previously put her transformation down to trainer Nadya Fairweather, whose help she enlisted in the lead-up to the London Marathon.

She is also understood to have been following a diet that focuses on eating fresh fruit and drinking plenty of water.

Beatrice and her boyfriend have been dating for five years since meeting at a birthday party for Sean Brosnan, youngest son of James Bond actor Pierce, in 2006.

The fifth in line to the throne has just finished a three-year course in history and history of ideas at Goldsmiths College in South London.

Rather than becoming a full-time royal, she is expected to get a job once she has graduated, possibly in the field of art, fashion or charity work.

Harry Potter's Bonnie Wright is unrecognisable as she poses on sexy magazine cover

She shot to fame playing little Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies.

But Bonnie Wright has shown once and for all that she is all grown-up, after posing on the cover of Haute Muse magazine.

The 20-year-old actress is virtually unrecognisable as she dons dark eyeshadow and plum-coloured lipstick, which beautifully complements her red hair, for the cover.

The cover is the latest move by Bonnie to distance herself from the schoolgirl character of Ginny after she finishes promoting the final movie in the franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part II.

Next up for Bonnie is an independent film called The Philosophers, which will see the young actress travel to Indonesia for the shoot.

She said recently: 'I’m off in Indonesia to film the movie.

'It’s set in an international school in Jakarta, and it’s about this philosophy class.

'The film takes this amazing turn where it becomes a psychological thriller.

'So, the character I’m playing is outgoing, and she’s quite fashion-forward and quite cool in the classroom, but she’s very outspoken, so I’m very excited about that because Ginny was always quiet.'

Bonnie, who is engaged to Twilight star Jamie Campbell-Bower, said recently that she won't be looking to star in a franchise after the end of the Harry Potter movies.

She said: 'I’ve always admired actresses like Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman - especially for her work in Moulin Rouge and The Hours - but I’ve never really fixated on anyone and thought, “I want to do exactly what they’ve done.”

'I really just want to do my own thing.'

Before that, Ginny will have to say goodbye to Harry Potter in the final film, which will see her and Harry marry and have three children - two sons named James and Albus and a daughter called Lily.

And, in a recent interview, Bonnie discussed what it was like to meet her 'future children'.

'The three kids who played the children were just… they just epitomised all of us, when we were that age, so it was lovely to look back,' she said.

'In the auditioning process Dan and I sat down with different children and talked to them, because obviously the dynamic is incredibly important… to try and portray the idea that they are this family unit, that they’ve spent every living moment together, since they were babies in their hands to how they are now.

'It was challenging to get that warmth with someone you’ve barely met and some children don’t want to get close to someone they don’t know.

'But they understood it was incredibly important to make the scene work, so they were very giving to the situation.'

Malin Akerman shows off her long tanned pins in denim shorts

The 80s rock star movie of the decade was moments away from being all wrapped-up yesterday, and one star made sure the camera stopped rolling on a high note.

Dressed in a tiny pair of denim shorts, Malin Akerman, looked nothing short of sensational as she shot the final scenes for the up and coming, Rock of Ages.

Paired with a loose, grey vest-top and slouchy cowboy boots, Malin, 33, made sure the male members of the cast and crew had a very happy last day on set.

The Couples Retreat actress looked equally delighted to be filming her final scenes too, as not all of the blonde beauty's outfits were as aesthetically appealing.

Making her way across the set to prepare for her next scene, Malik clearly knew her next costume change would turn heads for less desirable reasons.

And she wasn't wrong as, a little while later, she emerged back on set in a red and black striped mini-skirt and clashing red, leopard print jacket, topped off with a wild display of permed, frazzled hair.

Fortunately, the Swedish-Canadian looked to be having the time of her life playing Constance Stack, a journalist who wins the affections of Tom Cruise's character, rock star Stacee Jaxx.

And judging from Malin's tiny, leg-revealing costume changes, there's no mistaking her character's weapon of choice for luring in her men.

The actress was clearly seeing the funny side of her quirky wardrobe yesterday as she shared a joke with some of the film assistants on her way across the set.

Malin is just one of a glittering line-up of stars in the rock and hair metal movie, which has been adapted from the hit Broadway musical.

As well as Tom Cruise, she is joined by big names which include Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dancing with the Star's pro, Julianne Hough.

Later that evening, Malin joined her fellow cast members, who included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, for their wrap party at Larios on the Beach, in Miami.

Cat Deeley turned heads in a gorgeous red maxi dress when she popped out for groceries in Beverly Hills

Cat Deeley cut a beautifully crimson shape when she popped out to stock up on groceries yesterday.

The British TV presenter turned a string of heads in her stunning red maxi-dress, which she teamed perfectly with a pair of tan coloured, heeled sandals and a cute gold pendent.

With her trademark long golden locks tumbling around her face, Cat, 34, could not avoid drawing in stares from fellow shoppers as she made her way out of the popular grocery store, Bristol Farms, in Beverly Hills.

The chain of Bristol Farms stores are a firm favourite with the Hollywood elite, so Cat will no doubt have made the most of their selection of deluxe sushi, fine wines and cheeses.

The full length, cotton dress was the perfect wardrobe choice for the balmy Los Angeles climate yesterday, and it would seem Cat and her friends had the perfect afternoon and evening planned.

Armed with bags packed with of delicious gourmet treats, the Birmingham-born Brit and her friends were headed home to bask by the pool, before a fun-packed night out watching U2 play live at the Anaheim Angels stadium in LA.

Unable to contain her excitement yesterday, she tweeted: 'Poolside... Then U2!!!!! Life is good!'

The TV presenter has been working very hard recently filming the new series of the hit show, So You Think You Can Dance, so it was high time she took time out for herself.

Cat clearly knows what colours work for her too, as she opted for a sparkly cocktail dress in an identical shade of red for the show last weekend.

Posing for photos with the show's judging panel, which included Louise Redknapp, Cat looked simply sensational in yet another stunning red number.

Leggy ladies: The Saturdays set the tone for their tour in skimpy shorts as they perform at Alton Towers concert

After announcing plans for their first arena tour, the pressure is on for The Saturdays to come up with some sexy stage outfits.

And last night the girls set the tone for their shows by donning tiny shorts and bright colourful costumes as they performed at the the Alton Towers Live concert yesterday.

All the girls showed off their toned physiques in the skimpy outfits as they treated fans to a selection of their hits.

While Una Healy went for a tight pink mini-skirt, Rochelle Wiseman also opted for a skirt with an orange floaty number.

Meanwhile, Frankie Sandford, Mollie King and Vanessa White all went for little hotpants to display their enviable figures.

After announcing their first arena tour earlier this month, The Saturdays said they were more than a little excited about performing to such large crowds.

Mollie explained: 'It's our first ever arena tour so it's really exciting for us and its going to be in December which we're especially excited about because everyone going to be in the party mood with Christmas.'

And Una added that fans can expect a lot more of the colour-blocking the girls have been experimenting with on the tour.

She explained to FemaleFirst website: 'We mix it up a lot. Colour has always been a big part of it, bold, block colours. For one video one of us might be wearing red and then green you know, we don't stick to anything or any particular colour, we like to mix it around.

'We work very closely with our stylist and we try on loads of different outfits. He knows what works best for us, but we have a huge say as well, we're always very much a big part of that. Fashion is a huge thing for us.'

The girls were just one of the acts to take to the stage at the Alton Towers concert.

They were joined by stars including JLS, meaning that Rochelle had the opportunity to spend time with her boyband boyfriend Marvin Humes.

Following a brief split last year, Rochelle and Marvin are now stronger than ever and even sparked rumours they were engaged when Rochelle was spotted wearing a jewel on her ring finger.

But Marvin's JLS bandmate Oritse Williams said the pair aren't quite ready for that step yet.

He explained: 'It's an eternity ring that's she's been wearing, kind of like a promise ring for Marvin. It's one step down from an engagement and kind of like a test before the real deal goes ahead. Marvin and Rochelle are really happy together. They're great right now.'

Other stars to perform at the event included McFly and Eliza Doolittle, who showed off her enviable legs in a flirty white skirt and gingham bustier.

Talking recently about the concert, Dominique Sidley, event director, said: 'The Alton Towers Resort is a magnificent venue for a concert of this scale and we are delighted to be welcoming some of the biggest and best artists from the pop industry.

'With the famous Towers as the backdrop for the event and our world beating rides and attractions to enjoy, Alton Towers Live really is set to be a highlight of the summer!'
