Curved Sunglasses at the Altar - Charli XCX Stayed Brat Until the End
The civil ceremony reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall, and our eyes were on Charli's dress: a romantic corseted Westwood gown that instantly sparked flashbacks to that iconic Sex and the City scene. You know the one Carrie Bradshaw, heartbreak, the bird headpiece, and a Westwood wedding dress that went from tragedy to fashion legend. Since then, the designer's bridal gowns have become the unofficial uniform of offbeat cool-girl weddings.
Charli joins a line-up of modern icons who've said 'I do' in Viv: Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Vicky Krieps. Demi even wore a custom Westwood gown for her own wedding not too long ago - corseted, structured, and effortlessly lowkey, much like Charli's. And in true brat fashion, she styled the gown with her signature curved sunglasses paired Jimmy Choo Amita 85 Patent Leather Slingbacks. It's so nice to see a bride not trying to be someone else on their wedding day. Charli didn't tone anything down - she still looked like her, just in a really good dress.
Following the ceremony, she changed into a second white, long-sleeve mini dress paired with a tiny clutch and the best part? Her exact wedding gown is now available to rent on By Rotation for £160 a day. Charli may have built her latest era around chaotic eyeliner and hyperpop soundscapes, but this bridal moment proves she knows when to go classic. Westwood's legacy lives on, one rebellious bride at a time. 1.

Sex and the City star Gilles Marini says it's time for And Just Like That 'to go'
Former Sex and The City star Gilles Marini is siding with viewers who think the spinoff And Just Like That should end. The 49-year-old French actor's breakout role was in the 2008 Sex and the City movie, in which he portrayed Dante, a lusted-after neighbor of Kim Cattrall 's character Samantha Jones. Speaking with the US Sun this week, he said about the HBO spinoff, 'Everything takes its time. It goes up, and then it goes down. We have to know and understand when it's time to go.' He suggested, 'Maybe taking the side of one of the characters and having this history behind of Sex and The City, but making something so clearly different.. somebody else come in with something new, you know? Really fresh, like the storyline has to be completely shattered.' Marini noted that the show could stand to be more relatable: 'And something that is meaningful nowadays. Everybody loved this show because everybody could relate. Let's have a show where really everyone can relate a little bit [more].' Fans of And Just Like That season 3 were left furious following episode eight last week, and accused the show's main characters of competing for 'biggest dummy.' The episode, called Happily Ever After, saw Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) reunite with boyfriend Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) nearly relapse on alcohol. While aware of fans' critiques of the show, he said he'd like to hear from viewers who aren't familiar with Sex And the City. And despite his thoughts on the changes the new show should make, he said he would not be opposed to taking a role on the series. 'If I got the call… I'd run to it. Absolutely. I think one of the most amazing things that I had the chance to do in my life was Sex And The City,' he told the outlet. Gilles also address Cattrall's decision not to return to the small screen as Samantha. 'To each their own. Sometimes people want to start something, and then when they're done, they're done with it. 'At the end of it, look at the career she has, I mean, everything she's done. She doesn't need [anything]. It's her decision, of course,' he reasoned. He acknowledged the opportunities that appearing in the movie have afforded him. The hunky stat reflected, 'Michael Patrick King, the director of the film, he said, "Listen, when the movie comes out, your life will never be the same and your phone will never stop ringing." And I'm like, why? Why is he saying that? And now I know why he said that.' Marini began his career working as a baker and a fireman before moving to the United States to begin a modeling career. After the success of the Sex And the City film, he was invited to participate in the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars. He earned a runner-up position alongside partner Cheryl Burke and was invited back for the fifteenth season, placing sixth. On Monday, July 21 he paid tribute to former Cosby Show actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who drowned in Costa Rica on Sunday at age 54. Sharing a photo of them, he wrote, 'He was a light in so many lives, kind, thoughtful, and full of spirit. 'It's hard to believe he's gone. I'll always remember the moments we shared, the laughter, the talks, and the quiet understanding. 'My deepest condolences to his family, his loved ones, and everyone who was lucky enough to know him. May his memory be a blessing and may he rest in peace.'

The very worst thing about And Just Like That? The contents of Carrie Bradshaw's bathroom cabinet
There are so many things to despise about the new season of And Just Like That, the Sex and the City spin-off, that criticising it is like shooting shoes in a barrel. (Speaking of which, why is Carrie Bradshaw's cat called Shoe? Surely it should be Manolo Pussnik or something?) But I was still pettily pleased to find a small community of freeze-framers forensically dissecting Bradshaw's bathroom cabinet, briefly revealed in episode six. Because even I – a person who hasn't exfoliated since the late queen got excited about cows – thought it was full of totally off-brand … well, brands. The dreary drugstore sunscreen, sponges and old soap felt jarring. Plus, what's with the weirdly prominent Tums? Is it product placement or is acid reflux aspirational now? Someone on Substack better versed in SATC lore than me wrote an impressively exhaustive analysis of why some products (a particular nail varnish; Pond's cold cream) made sense, but even she thought much of it was wrong. Carrie dresses like Marie Antoinette attending a rival's wedding just to sit in her mansion writing her (execrable) novel; I agree with the Redditor who commented: 'She'd be using La Mer. La Prairie Skin Caviar. That Guerlain Impériale nonsense that you'd have to remortgage your house to afford.' Maybe someone painstakingly selected every product, but it feels more like a missed opportunity, because a bathroom cabinet is far more revealing than even a fridge. I'm not a peeper – honest – but open shelves in other people's bathrooms are fascinating, from feral-looking scruffs revealed to be followers of 10-step Korean skincare routines, to Instagram princesses somehow conjuring a glazed doughnut glow from a cracked bar of Imperial Leather and an economy tub of Vaseline. A survey of my own bathroom cabinet reveals a forest of manky interdental brushes, HRT, cracked-heel balm, ibuprofen galore and, weirdly, a broken light switch, betraying the dentally challenged, desiccated, headachy, oestrogen-depleted mess behind the, ahem, polished exterior. So if And Just Like That won't give us bathroom glamour like the escapist fluff it's supposed to be, it needs to double down on realism: let's have neck retinol, vaginal oestrogen, cystitis treatments and citalopram.
