The words ‘low-key’ and ‘subtle’ are rarely associated with anybody in Donald Trump<\/a>‘s orbit.<\/p>\n

After vice president JD Vance<\/a> ruined the rural tranquility of the Cotswolds earlier this month, I can now report that the President’s daughter has caused a similar stir in Notting Hill.<\/p>\n

Ivanka Trump<\/a>\u00a0and her husband, the financier Jared Kushner<\/a>, left chaos in their wake when they descended on an unassuming wine bar in the chic corner of West London earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Until their arrival at the hip but unassuming Golborne Wine Bar and Deli, just off the Portobello Road, its customers had been enjoying a quiet night of alfresco dining.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then came the couple’s security detail, with whispers that snipers were lining the roofs of nearby buildings.<\/p>\n

Their protection also included undercover bodyguards positioned around the joint. ‘They were placed all around the area and would have been sipping their coffee like you and me,’ an insider tells me.<\/p>\n

The couple were recognised instantly, but fellow diners kept their cool \u2013 at least until they left when excited chatter, and more, broke out. One onlooker descred it as ‘chaos’.<\/p>\n

‘It was a crazy scene,’ they said. ‘A group of girls were shrieking with excitement and a French influencer had to shout at them to be quiet.’<\/p>\n

Locals were bemused by the presence of the President’s 43-year-old daughter at such a low-key establishment. ‘It’s an unlikely spot for Ivanka,’ said one, ‘as it’s not super flashy.’<\/p>\n

Indeed, there’s not a tacky gold-painted fixture in sight!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Love is in the Air for Firehouse owner<\/p>\n

Playboy Andre Balazs, 68, the hotelier behind London\u2019s Chiltern Firehouse, is dating actress Donna Air, 46, I can reveal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The notorious millionaire has romanced Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman and Sharon Stone, while Air has a daughter, Freya, with conservationist Damian Aspinall and has dated the Princess of Wales\u2019s brother, James Middleton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hear the Firehouse will have a big reopening party in October. Might the couple, right, use it for their official debut?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Dua and Callum bid to be double agents<\/p>\n

She’s been tipped as a frontrunner to record the theme tune for the next James Bond film \u2013 but that world is not enough for Dua Lipa.<\/a><\/p>\n

For the pop queen also fancies her fiance Callum Turner to take the role of MI6’s suavest spy in the long-awaited 26th 007 movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fantastic Beasts star is a bookies’ favourite to take over from Daniel Craig<\/a>. But he faces tough competition from the likes of 28 Years Later actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson and The Crown’s Josh O’Connor.<\/p>\n

However appealing having the couple’s combined star power on board might be, producers at Amazon are still keeping their casting decisions a close secret.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Stars know their place\u00a0<\/p>\n

More titbits from ‘Operation Red Eagle’, last month’s secret 60th birthday bash’ for 007 director Sam Mendes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of my spies snuck out the seating plan, with one table featuring heartthrobs Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Joseph Quinn, who all star in Sir Sam’s new Beatles films.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Sir Nick Clegg and David Miliband were kept apart, while the birthday boy was sandwiched between model Liberty Ross and Nicole Kidman. Noticeably absent was his ex-wife, Kate Winslet.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Lila’s lookalike, Lady Lola<\/p>\n

Model Lila Moss has long been likened to mum Kate \u2013 and understandably so.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it appears she has another lookalike in the form of her new bestie, Lady Lola Bute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair, right, have become close this summer, with the daughter of the late Marquess of Bute inviting Lila to her swanky Ibiza abode.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lola, 26, calls Lila, 22, ‘my little sister’ and even dresses her in her own brand of skimpy lacy dresses, Debute.<\/p>\n

Is Vivian Wilson the world’s poorest nepo baby?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old eldest daughter of billionaire Elon Musk said she skipped an event because she couldn’t afford the taxi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It was $150 there and back. I can’t spend that on a taxi, so I didn’t go.’ If only Elon had sent\u00a0her a Tesla\u2026<\/p>\n

Idris Elba has paid \u00a36million for a Victorian building that used to be private members’ club Laylow on Notting Hill’s Golborne Road.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old Luther star is turning the venue \u2013 opposite the landmark Trellick Tower \u2013 into somewhere that celebs and locals will want to hang out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Idris is dead excited about the project,’ says a friend. ‘He wants to offer something for the entire community. One he knows very well.’<\/p>\n

Emily in Paris?<\/a> More like Emily in London!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I can reveal that series star Lily Collins has bought a multimillion pound mansion in Queen’s Park.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old daughter of pop star Phil Collins has settled in the bougie West London enclave with her husband, director Charlie McDowell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m told their new abode will be fitted out by trendy Swedish interior designer Beata Heuman, whose clients include Burberry model Adwoa Aboah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m sure LA-born Collins will feel right at home in Queen’s Park where she can count James Bond stars Thandie Newton and Daniel Craig as neighbours.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The words ‘low-key’ and ‘subtle’ are rarely associated with anybody in Donald Trump‘s orbit.
