Coach executives have put a historic estate in Briarcliff Manor, near New York, on the market for $4.195 million.

The property spans approximately 530 square metres, while the house sits on a plot of more than one hectare.

The estate dates back more than a century. In 1900, Walter Law, the founder of Briarcliff Manor and the county’s largest landowner at the time, commissioned the house.

It was intended to eventually pass to his daughter, Edith, and its design was inspired by George Washington’s famous Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.

Because of its resemblance to the home of the first US president, the house acquired the unofficial name «Little Mount Vernon».

In 2022, Coach acquired the property and renovated the historic house while preserving as much of its original character as possible. The residence retains its original woodwork, fireplaces, substantial sliding doors, parquet floors, wrought-iron railings and elements of the staircase.

The exterior features a classic Colonial-style design. The white façade is complemented by a covered entrance porch with columns, a high slate roof and large windows with white frames.

The grounds feature a garden, a small vegetable garden, a terrace and a fire pit. The property directly borders a protected natural area, providing a sense of peace and privacy.

London’s historic Ormeley Lodge, where Princess Diana regularly spent her weekends, has been put on the market with an asking price of $33.4 million. According to British media reports, the estate was also the setting for Diana’s famous conversation with Camilla Parker Bowles, who was in a relationship with the then Prince Charles at the time.

For more than fifty years, Ormeley Lodge belonged to socialite Lady Annabel Goldsmith, who passed away last year at the age of 91. She often described herself as Diana’s «second mother» and recalled that the Princess visited almost every weekend with Princes William and Harry. The iconic London private members’ club Annabel’s was named in her honour by her first husband, Mark Birley, who founded the club.

Located between Ham Common and Richmond Park, the estate dates back to around 1714, spanning the transition between the reign of Queen Anne and the Georgian era. Covering nearly 1,500 square metres, the mansion blends English Baroque architecture with elegant Neoclassical influences.

The interiors retain many original period features, including soaring ceilings, original fireplaces, ornate plasterwork and large sash windows. The residence also boasts a grand entrance hall with an impressive staircase, several formal reception rooms, a cosy library, a wine cellar and separate guest apartments. During Lady Goldsmith’s lifetime, Ormeley Lodge became renowned for its lavish summer parties, attracting members of the British aristocracy, politicians, celebrities and the Royal Family.

The estate’s grounds, extending over more than 0.9 hectares, are equally impressive. Beyond decorative 19th-century wrought-iron gates lie flowering meadows, an orchard, a kitchen garden, an aviary, an all-weather tennis court, a swimming pool, as well as several cottages and additional estate buildings.

Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, known for her impeccable red-carpet appearances, has chosen a more tranquil form of leisure this time — a relaxing retreat amidst the picturesque Austrian Alps. The 38-year-old star, who usually splits her time between Los Angeles and London, set off for a short vacation in Austria to recharge and immerse herself in the serene atmosphere of the mountain winter.

For her snowy walks, Rosie opted for refined, fashion-forward looks: a black faux-fur vest paired with a sleek Alo jumpsuit and chunky trekking boots.

Later, she switched into a cream shearling coat by Phoebe Philo and gray wool trousers, creating a harmonious yet glamorous ensemble perfectly suited for alpine relaxation.

Later, the model shared new photos in which she appeared wearing cozy cashmere sweaters by the Italian brand Falconeri, paired with classic jeans.

The photos captured among the snow-covered peaks prove once again that even on holiday, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley remains a true style icon — effortlessly blending fashion, comfort, and natural elegance.

Brad Pitt has long been known for his passion for real estate, architecture, and design – a fascination reflected in his impressive collection of homes in Los Angeles, southern France, and New Orleans. He seeks out and acquires properties of exceptional architectural value, including historic estates, and takes an active role in their restoration and redesign. His portfolio includes the legendary D.L. James House in Carmel Highlands, purchased for $40 million, a $4 million estate near Santa Barbara, the renowned French villa Château Miraval worth around $60 million, and a recently sold residence in Los Feliz for $33 million.

This time, the 61-year-old actor acquired a Spanish-style villa in the prestigious Outpost Estates neighborhood of the Hollywood Hills for $12 million. Built in 1989, the property previously belonged to Dave Keuning, guitarist of The Killers, and his wife, a designer.

Spanning roughly 8,600 square feet, the estate features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a private movie theater, a spacious living room with panoramic windows leading to the pool, and a landscaped garden complete with a vegetable patch. From its windows, one can enjoy sweeping views of downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

The purchase was driven not only by aesthetics but also by practical concerns. In June, Pitt’s former $5.5 million Los Feliz residence was burglarized. The new home offers a far greater level of privacy: hidden behind lush greenery, equipped with modern security systems, and accessible through a guarded entrance.

According to insiders, Pitt was determined to find a secluded and secure retreat – and this villa proved to be the perfect choice. Some speculate it may soon become a «family nest» for Pitt and his partner Ines de Ramon, with whom he is increasingly seen in public.

Romeo Beckham, the 22-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has confirmed his relationship with Gray Sorrenti. The couple was spotted on a romantic stroll in New York City, openly displaying their affection by kissing and embracing each other.

Their relationship may not only develop romantically but could also have professional implications. Gray comes from an influential family as well. Her father, Mario Sorrenti, is a 52-year-old fashion photographer best known for shooting the iconic Calvin Klein Obsession campaign with Kate Moss in the 1990s.

Following in her father’s footsteps, Gray has already photographed campaigns for luxury brands such as Loewe and Saint Laurent. She has also worked with major stars, including Jennifer Lopez for the cover of The Wall Street Journal and Harper’s Bazaar.
