Kate Middleton Refuses To 'Heel' To Dress Code Protocol With Latest Appearance
Kate Middleton Refuses To 'Heel' To Dress Code Protocol With Latest Appearance originally appeared on Parade.
Kate Middleton was spotted staying fashionable on her latest royal outing with a pair of black stilettos — despite the dress code recommendations set forth by the museum she visited.
Middleton, 43, visited the V&A East Storehouse in East London — a branch of the legendary British institution the Victoria and Albert museum — on June 10 and donned a gorgeous royal blue suit and complementing black heels… even though her footwear wasn't technically appropriate for the type of flooring the museum has.
"We recommend wearing practical clothing and flat shoes," the V&A East Storehouse's website explains about their dress code. "The metal grid flooring is not suitable for stilettos or kitten heels."
Clearly, Middleton wasn't pressed about the potential for tripping or slipping; She was more concerned about fashion, and we can't say we blame her because she looks gorgeous. This was her first royal outing since the half-term break with her three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — and she looked to be in excellent spirits.
That said, the iconic Princess of Wales has had a shoe snafu once in her tenure, back in 2018 when she got one of her heels stuck in a metal drain while visiting an addiction treatment center in Wickford, England. Plus, she was a whopping seven months pregnant at the time! Thankfully, her recent V&A visit wasn't a repeat of that day.
In fact, it appeared to be a really enjoyable outing. 'She had a super energy. She was very energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years ago," V&A director Tristram Hunt told People following the visit." She retains this great passion and interest in creativity and making and design. It was wonderful to be able to host her.' He also added about her choice of footwear, 'She is a pro! She dealt with that!'

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff Fuel Romance Rumors With PDA-Filled Photos
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff were caught packing on the PDA while vacationing in Italy. In photos shared via DeuxMoi on Sunday, June 8, Wolff, 30, was seen grabbing Eilish's face as he leaned down to give her a kiss in Venice, Italy. A glass seemingly filled with champagne was placed on the edge of the balcony. Eilish, 23, sported a striped T-shirt and jeans as she wore her hair down, while Wolff donned a white tee and jeans. In another image, Eilish smiled as she held out a camera seemingly snapping a photo of Wolff looking off into the distance while leaning over a balcony and holding a glass. Us Weekly reached out to reps for both Eilish and Wolff for comment. Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford's Relationship Timeline: The Way They Were In September 2024, Nat and brother Alex opened for Eilish on her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. (The tour came to a close in December 2024, with Eilish announcing in May that there would be a second leg concluding this upcoming November.) 'So honored to be opening for @billieeilish on her hit me hard and soft tour. Unbelievable crowd in Quebec!! We love you. 🎥 - @kevinmazur,' the sibling duo wrote via Instagram in October 2024. In March, Eilish and Wolff sparked romance rumors when they reportedly left the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards together. Days later, they stepped out in New York City. Eilish was previously linked to The Neighborhood's Jesse Rutherford, splitting after less than one year of dating in 2023. Later that year, Eilish accused a reporter of outing her after she discussed her sexuality in a cover story for Variety. Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford Split After Less Than 1 Year Together: Details One year later, Eilish explained how she's opting to keep her love life private. 'I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever,' Eilish told Vogue in 2024. 'And I hope that they never will again.' Eilish reiterated that she never wants to talk about her sexuality 'ever again,' adding, 'And I'm never talking about who I'm dating ever again.' The 'What Was I Made For?' singer noted that she didn't realize the 'things I say will be blown up into the biggest news of the year.' Wolff, for his part, has been previously been linked to Margaret Qualley, whom he costarred alongside in 2013's Palo Alto with. However, in 2017, a British Vogue interview referred to him as Qualley's ex-boyfriend. The Paper Towns actor was also in a relationship with Grace Van Patten from 2017 to 2021.

Cynthia Nixon Explains Why Miranda's Endgame Was Never Meant to Be Steve or Che
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Some Sex and the City fans may still be in denial over the fact that Miranda Hobbes and Steve Brady got divorced, but Cynthia Nixon is not one of them. In fact, Nixon isn't surprised by the dissolution of their marriage at all. Miranda and Steve's relationship came to a spectacular end with And Just Like That, the SATC revival series that saw Miranda come out as a lesbian—a sexual awakening that led her to pursue an affair with nonbinary comedian Che Diaz. Speaking with Harper's Bazaar, the star opened up about why Steve was never meant to be Miranda's forever person. 'Steve was a wonderful, wonderful antidote for Miranda for a lot of years, but I think, at the end of the day, the problems that they had in the very beginning of their relationship never totally went away,' Nixon says. 'She wasn't ever really sure if he was enough for her.' Nixon acknowledges that Miranda and Steve 'had a lot of good years together, but, in the end, I think she wanted something more, and Che was a different kind of something more.' Che and Miranda's relationship took a turn for the worse in AJLT's second season. The two made a brief and disastrous move to Los Angeles together, before returning to New York and calling it quits on their romance. According to Nixon, Che—one of the fandom's most divisive characters who ultimately did not return for AJLT season three—wasn't quite right for Miranda, either. 'Che was such a breath of fresh air,' she explains, 'but Che and Miranda are so opposite that they could never have really existed long term.' Season three sees Miranda back on the dating market—fully single and ready to mingle. Though the first two episodes show the lawyer stumbling over some awkward romantic encounters (from sleeping with a nun to hitting on a married heterosexual waitress), her next major romantic prospect has at last seemingly emerged. Joy, the British BBC producer Miranda first meets through her job at the Human Rights Watch in season two, has crossed the pond and touched down in New York City. 'Joy is a little younger than Miranda, but so much more experienced and sophisticated in this world in which Miranda is trying to make her way,' Nixon says. 'Miranda is so used to having—not with Che, but with Steve and other people that she dated—so used to having the upper hand, and she doesn't have that with Joy, and I think that's very good for Miranda.' It helps that Joy represents the possibilities of the new career path that Miranda has chosen for herself. '[Miranda] realizes now she wants to be... a global player in a more professional setting that can give aid and attention to people in the world, refugees, and other people who are really in crisis and need help and need assistance,' says Nixon. 'So I think she's dazzled by Joy in that way, with Joy's proficiency in that world. Also, Joy is a very serious and accomplished person, but everything is with an overlay of cheekiness of British funniness that's very diffusing to Miranda's determined pedantic seriousness. I think that Steve was able to diffuse Miranda in a particular way, but Joy is able to diffuse her with a lighter touch and in a more sophisticated manner.' What comes next for Joy and Miranda?

Dua Lipa: I'm too busy to have children
Dua Lipa has said she is too busy to have children as she does not know how starting a family 'would fit in with my job'. Speaking in an interview with British Vogue, the London-born singer, 29, said she wondered if there would 'ever be a good time' to have a child with her fiancé Callum Turner, the Boys in the Boat actor. 'I'd love to have kids one day,' Lipa said. 'But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time – how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. 'I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' During the interview, the Grammy award-winning singer confirmed her engagement to Turner, 35. She had provoked speculation after she was spotted on numerous occasions over the last year wearing a diamond ring. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' she said. 'It's very exciting.' Speaking of her ring, she added: 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' But the singer said she had not set a date for the big day. She said: 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' She added: 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' The couple have been together since January 2024. In the interview, Lipa also said she felt 'the most confident [she's] ever felt' ahead of her 30th birthday later this year. She said: 'I turn 30 in August and I've been thinking about it a lot, because your 20s are just so tumultuous in the way you think about yourself and your body. 'And I don't know, now I feel like I've come to a place – I've become better at taking care of myself and working out and dancing. I feel the most confident I've ever felt. I feel very empowered and strong in my body. 'I feel good when I'm sharing my energy with people on stage. There's just so much of that that makes me really proud of my body and the way it holds me.'
