Why Beatrice Borromeo is the stylish, down-to-earth royal you need to know about
Beatrice Borromeo was on holiday in Mallorca last week, watching husband Pierre Casiraghi compete in a sailing tournament; wearing denim shorts and a classic white shirt, her outfit was an example of her easy, chic vacation style. It's the latest in a summer of stylish looks which have subsequently piqued the interest.
If plus-size modelling is glorification of obesity, I’ll eat my hat
We need to talk about fat privilege. It’s not fashionable to say this, but OMG thin women are in danger of becoming an oppressed minority! While society used to have an unhealthy obsession with skinniness, the tables have turned and we’re now seeing a widespread glorification of obesity.
Not all trends age well - but that's sort of the point
The perils of growing-up in the public eye are well documented. But apparently, as well as the drugs, head-shaving and teen marriage, you’ve also got to worry about how well your wardrobe choices will date. “The Grammys were rough and tough for me," Disney Channel child star Miley Cyrus, now 24, told Cosmopolitan US this week as she discussed her past style choices. Apparently, her fashion low point stretched from 2008-2013. She's not alone, of course. Unless you’re one of those effortless people that never wears trends, looking back at long past outfit choices is often a bit toe-curling. But don’t forget, you loved that coin belt at the time, and so did Sienna Miller.
Just a little more than a week ago, Julianne Hough married professional hockey player Brooks Laich, and the two lovebirds are deep into the honeymoon phase—quite literally. The twosome jetted off to an idyllic island in paradise, living the newlywed life. But back here, in reality, we still can’t stop swooning over the magical fairytale moments.
Thanks to Julianne’s BFF and bridesmaid Nina Dobrev, the details continue to come forward. On Friday, the actress wrote a lengthy tribute to the happy couple that will have you in tears on Instagram, and, now, the Vampire Diaries alum let it be known that Hough’s wedding was the first time she fulfilled the role of bridesmaid.
It was love at first dribble for Ben McCleskey and Avery Armstrong.
The duo met face-to-face during an Atlanta Hawks Tinder-themed date night in Jan. 2015, and the two Shorter University students have been dating since ever since.
Pink and Carey Hart celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary back in January, but there are still a few things you probably don't know about their big day. For starters, the couple exchanged "I dos" in a nondenominational beach ceremony in Costa Rica. "We just love the beach, so we knew we wanted it to be at the beach," Pink told People in 2006. "We wanted it very fun and nontraditional. We're spiritual, but we're not religious. It was about being with our closest friends and family and having a very fun and loose party," Carey added. Keep reading for more fun facts.
Pink didn't wear a wedding dress. Instead, the singer opted for an ivory Monique Lhuillier top and skirt complete with a black sash tied around her waist. "I wanted to make Carey's heart stop for a second," Pink said.
Ashley Boyce and Matt Sachs first locked eyes at Queen’s University during a business case competition. “It was so nerdy,” says Boyce. They started dating in Toronto after Boyce graduated in 2007, and relocated to New York City’s West Village for work in 2010 (she’s a brand manager for Unilever, and he’s a consultant for PwC), where they still reside. The night before a six-day trip to Los Angeles and Palm Springs in 2014, Sachs decorated their entire apartment with photos of the two of them (including the first photo of them together at Queen’s in 2004). “It was back when Homeland was really popular, so when I arrived at our apartment door plastered in photos of us, I thought, ‘I’m either going to get engaged or I’m going to get murdered,’” Boyce says. Luckily, it was the first one, and the pair spent a blissful holiday together before coming back to Toronto and surprising their parents with the news on Christmas day.

In part four of Catalyst Wedding Co. editor Liz Susong's new weekly column devoted to the feminist bride, she dives headfirst into the history of bridal parties. Liz investigates here.
This is no holier-than-thou sermon about my enlightened approach to bridal parties. I have a confession to make: when it comes to making demands of friends on behalf of one’s wedding, I was a bit of a pain-in-the-butt myself. I was pretty conscientious about reducing financial demands on my social worker-type friends (although surely the expenses were not insignificant), but looking back, I was, what one might accurately perceive to be, an emotional vampire. My wedding could be described as: suburban-raised, former gifted child listens exclusively to Mumford & Sons for entire year before celebrating marriage to similarly over-educated spouse via country barnraising. Yeah, you know the type.
