No one in the world is expected to keep it classy quite like the Royal family. But the world doesn’t make it easy – especially when there’s a camera waiting at every turn to catch any mishaps.

So what do the Royals do in order to avoid disaster plastered to every paper and magazine cover?

They hack their clothes to ensure full decency, full-time. And the rest of us might want to give these hacks a try, too.

1. Princess Diana used clutch purses to hide her cleavage

Getting out of the car can be a scandalous affair if the camera is looking at you from the wrong angle. But Princess Diana had a solution to protect her flesh: cover her bosom with the purse in her hands. Her personal handbag designer Anya Hindmarch even famously called them “cleavage clutches.”

2. Kate Middleton wears pantyhose with sticky heels.

All the ladies in the Royal Family are required to wear pantyhose as part of their protocol, and that can get a bit slippery when it comes to walking around in sleek shoes. But lo and behold, some pantyhose put sticky adhesive on the heel to prevent this from happening, so they stay in those high heels.

3. Princess Diana hid combs in her hat.

A fashion protocol of all hats, all the time can be a recipe for disaster – but somehow, we rarely see photos of hats flying off the Royals’ heads. Princess Di’s secret was to attach a comb to her hat that would latch it into place.

4. Kate uses hairnets to manage her hairdos.

To keep her beautiful buns all intact, Kate puts a discreet hair net around her ‘dos.

5. Royals sew weights into the hems of their dresses.

When you wear skirts and dresses all the time, it’s hard to avoid a Marilyn Monroe moment here or there – especially in temperate London. But a few weights around the hems of these smart outfits will hold them down, no matter the weather.

6. Royals also usually opt for heavier materials and tighter fits. Another way to avoid those breezy, intimate moments with the camera is to wear outfits made of thicker fabrics built into tighter-fitting silhouettes.

Bo Derek rose to fame in the 1980s and took the world by storm. She was the beauty that went from girl next door to one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood overnight.

Despite her success, when her career was at its peak, it came to an abrupt end. Read on to find out how Bo Derek climbed to fame and how things changed when she reached the top.

Bo Derek was born in 1956 as Mary Collins. Growing up in Southern California, Bo had a glimpse of what show business was like and the feeling rubbed off on the young girl. She was further exposed to the Hollywood life when her mom married a stunt performer. Given her family dynamic, she used her freedom to her advantage – she started to break the rules and skip class at school.

At 16, Bo quit school and “spent about a month going to the beach surfing and sunbathing.” After she got caught she started going back, but not for long. Bo received an audition for a movie called Fantasies which required her to go to Greece for ten days. The director, John Derek, saw something in the teenager and tested her out by making her do a number of risky scenes. Of course, she got the role, and that was the end of her schooling.

While filming for Fantasies, Bo and John developed a relationship beyond just colleagues. Although he was 30 years older than her and married at the time to Linda Evans, the actress and director started a heated affair in Greece. As soon as they landed back in California, John left his wife and the unexpected couple began officially dating. Given his breakup, John decided it would be best for the new couple to move to Germany for the next few years.

While happy in their new romance, John and Bo were disappointed that Fantasies was not picking up in the U.S. It seemed the film’s risky nature was too much for the motion picture companies to handle. Although made in 1973, the film was not released for another eight years in 1981, and even then it entertained lousy reviews. This came after Bo Derek had already made a name for herself and companies wanted to use her image to make a profit.

In 1976 the happy couple moved back from Germany and made their vows to one another. At the time, Bo was only 19 and John was 49. Although it was a crazy age gap, it was also the ’70s and not too out of the ordinary for the era. John also gave his new wife a complete Hollywood makeover. He bleached her hair completely blonde and her name changed from Mary Collins to the famous Bo Derek that we know her as.

When asked about his affair during an interview, Bo spoke openly. She talked about how she got involved with John (who was married) when she was a teenager. Bo said, “It was very complicated, and dramatic, obviously.” She also admitted that run-ins with his ex, Linda, still make her feel awful. However, it did not stop the young teen from stealing her husband at the time.

Linda Evans spoke in an interview about her husband leaving, “It was the worst thing that could happen to me in the world, to live without John. He was everything to me. I was mad, I was sad.” The affair was not the first time that Bo and Linda crossed paths. Affair under wraps, Linda showed Bo the ropes assisting with the Hollywood limelight. “I got to know Bo before she became Bo. I helped her learn to act, helped teach her about the business.” The girls have remained friends.

Having a Hollywood director as a husband certainly has its perks, but even more so when you are an aspiring actress. Bo realized this when John Derek began using her in all his movies. Her greatest debut was in 1979 when she appeared in the movie 10. The movie followed a man’s quest to win the heart of a girl he describes as a “perfect 10.” This was the movie that launched Bo’s career and made her a Hollywood “It girl.”

After her role in 10 everyone was able to put a name to a face. Suddenly, every teenage boy had a poster of the ’80s beauty in their bedroom. A year later she was acting in movies amongst the likes of legends Shirley MacLaine and Anthony Hopkins. One of her more heated scenes even attracted the famous Hugh Hefner, who just had to have her in his magazine. She featured many times in Playboy throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

One of Bo Derek’s most memorable roles was in Tarzan, The Ape Man, which came out in 1981. The movie was a remake of the 1932 film, yet did not make quite the impact that was expected in the cinema. Richard Harris, who played James Parker, announced he enjoyed working with the Dereks. Meanwhile, critics went as far as calling the movie garbage and one of the worst films of all time. Roger Ebert said it was “ridiculous, yet charming.”

While Tarzan, The Ape Man was a classic, the movie ultimately had bad acting and contained a terrible plot. Up until now, Derek had become known for her image rather than her acting ability and she was becoming typecast for particular roles with limited room to grow. No one producing major motion pictures with hopes of winning awards were willing to hire her for their movies. Was this the end for the Hollywood bombshell or was she able to turn it around?

With all the bad ratings, Derek made one last attempt at building up her career again in 1984. She appeared in a movie called Bolero, also directed by her husband. The success of Bolero was going to determine Bo Derek’s fate as an actress. While the classic picture of Derek on a horse became popular from this film, it was criticized for being too edgy and it received an X rating. The future was looking bleak for Bo.

Although she gained herself a Golden Globe Award for her role in 10, Bolero was the end of Bo. For her performance in the film, she won a Golden Raspberry Award for worst actress. This was not the only or last time she would be nominated for such an award. That was the last anyone saw of Bo Derek on screen for the next seven years. She returned in the 1990s but as a different actress entirely, one from an earlier era.

Bo’s embarrassment was not the only reason she kept herself hidden for the next few years. In 1986, John Derek suffered from a heart attack. He recovered fully and in 1989 began working on his final film, Ghosts Can’t Do It. The film was semi-based on his actual situation as it was about a man who married a woman 30 years younger and had also suffered from a heart attack. There were no surprises that Bo was cast as the lead.

It was the mid-1990s and Bo Derek was pushing into her 40s. Despite been awarded as the worst actress, she still had hopes of making it in more of the big Hollywood pictures, yet her husband came first. When John Derek’s health began to decline, Bo put her career on hold to look after him. Eventually, she began to rebuild herself by appearing in Tommy Boy and Woman of Desire but things then took a turn of the worse.

After 22 years of marriage, John Derek passed away of heart disease. Bo opened up about her husband’s passing, “He was 71, so it was going to happen. I didn’t think it would happen that soon, but it was part of our relationship from the beginning that most likely I would live part of my life alone without him…” Given that Bo was only 16 when she met John, at 41-years-old she had to learn how to date again. According to Bo, it was a very scary time.

A couple of years later and Bo was completely independent, developing her career by herself. Her acting career began which meant a lot of guest appearances. She would appear on the screen and immediately everyone would recognize her as Bo Derek, the former ’80s “It Girl” and bombshell. She appeared on  Family Law, The Drew Carey Show, 7th Heaven, and Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place. Bo realized she could continue without her husband by her side.

Now that Bo was older, she was being typecast as the older mother in many B-rated movies like Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! and Malibu’s Most Wanted. The 2000s and 2010s proved Derek was no longer in the spotlight like she had been in her youth. However, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but more of a natural path for her career. Bo then began to find life fulfillment away from the cameras and found a different passion.

Bo Derek has always been a lover of horses. She owns a number of Andalusian horses and even spends hours watching the animals, trying to learn from their behavior. This hobby inspired her to write her 2002 book Riding Lessons: Everything That Matters in Life I Learned from Horses. However, her love for horses goes further than this. She is a spokesperson for Animal Welfare Institute and speaks out about the slaughter of poor horses. She also serves on the California Horse Racing Board.

While she is not looking after or supporting horses, Bo Derek has another passion in life. Bo’s father served in the Korean War, so the actress has always had a soft spot for veterans and has done a lot to help them during her career. She has received an honorary green beret for her work with the veterans and is the national honorary chairperson for the Veteran’s Affairs’ National Rehabilitation Special Events. She even teamed up with John Corbett to help vets find jobs.

While Bo has given back to her country, she has also spoken openly about the work she has done with and for the veterans, “I am so overwhelmed and inspired by the courage all veterans show, especially those whom I have met through VA’s special events. As an American, I am reassured by VA’s commitment to take care of our veterans. It’s truly an honor for me to be part of that mission.” So what is next for Bo?

While her acting career may not be what it used to be, Bo Derek is still managing to have a successful career. She has been hands-on in her work with horses and veterans. Even greater, she has got her second chance at love with her current partner John Corbett. After recently turning 62, the still-stunning actress and model has most recently appeared in the films Christmas in the Heartland (2017) and 5 Weddings (2018). We wonder what is next in store for the desireable Bo Derek.
