Princess Charlene and Prince Albert's Twins Steal the Show as They Mark Major Royal Milestone

Twins Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella recently turned the landmark age of 10 years old. The two have had many first lately, ranging from their first Holy Communion to a major royal milestone over the weekend. Jacques and Gabriella took part alongside their parents Princess Charlene and Prince Albert in a state visit with French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, First Lady Brigitte Macron, on June turning the milestone age of 10 last December, twins Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco continue to achieve royal firsts—and accomplished another one this week alongside their parents Prince Albert and Princess Charlene. On June 7, the twins were on hand to welcome the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife Brigitte Macron for the Macrons' state visit to Monaco—the first time, per Hello!, that the royal children had taken part in a state visit. The Macrons sweetly chatted with Jacques and Gabriella, and Gabriella thoughtfully presented flowers to the First Lady upon her arrival. The French couple is in Monaco to bolster the 'strong ties' between France and Monaco, Hello! reported. For the occasion Saturday, Charlene understood the assignment and wore a mint Dior jacket and a pair of tan trousers, and later changed to a stunning red gown for a state dinner in the Throne Room of their palace in Monte Carlo. Per Vanity Fair, this was the first time that the royal family of Monaco hosted a state dinner with a French leader in more than 40 years. Though Jacques and Gabriella were present earlier in the day, they didn't attend the state dinner alongside their parents. When speaking to La Gazette de Monaco about which achievements he's been most proud of in his 20-year reign, Albert said, touchingly, 'What I am most proud of is my marriage and my children, first and foremost.' He also added to the Monaco Tribune that his twins 'help keep me young, too. They take some keeping up with.' Turning 10 and being a part of their first state visit aren't Jacques and Gabriella's only milestones lately. They also, per Tatler, recently took part in their first Holy Communion, a significant step for Catholic children like the twins. 'The conversations I have with Jacques and those with Gabriella are so different, as well as the time spent with them,' Charlene recently said. 'Gabriella is very curious. She is intrigued by the world and life in general.' As for her son, 'he is curious and observant, more reserved,' Charlene said. 'He is naturally very calm.' Charlene also admitted that it was 'difficult to find time to spend one-on-one' with the twosome, which she had found 'essential when you are the parent of twins.' Of the state visit over the weekend, the twins were mentioned for their significant milestone, with the royal family of Monaco writing on social media that 'Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were also present to greet the presidential couple, demonstrating the familial and solemn character of this official reception.' 'This meeting illustrates the continuity of a relationship based on shared values, mutual trust, and a shared willingness to build together answers to great contemporary challenges,' the post continued.

What to wear to Glastonbury: 8 best celebrity outfits ever to help you pack the ultimate festival wardrobe

Glastonbury Festival. Aka the holy grail of fashion and music. A place where, according to Glasto style icon Alexa Chung, no matter how "terrible" your outfit choice is, "it still looks great." And so, for the lucky ones who managed to bag a ticket to the UK's grittier version of Coachella, you're likely now in full wardrobe planning mode. With many, perhaps looking back to previous Glastonburys for some inspiration, especially from your favourite celebs. Whether you're throwing it right back to 2007 Kate Moss, or looks from recent years are more your vibe (Maya Jama's 2024 Dior 'Plan de Paris' outfit was a standout), behold some of the best celebrity fits alongside their highstreet alternatives. How can we not start with Alexa? She's a festival fashion veteran, after all. In terms of this dress, it ticks all the boxes: stylish, comfortable, and goes with everything. At Glasto, you want something you can just throw on but still look like you've made an effort. Basically, you can never go wrong with a slip dress, rain or shine. Remember, you're going to be walking for miles, so you need something that blends comfort and fashion. This year, it looks like it's going to be good weather, so you may not need those Hunter wellies. (Pack them just in case, obvs.) Instead, opt for a pair of statement black boots like Dua Lipa. They're so versatile because they look great with different styles: from cute white lace prairie mini-dresses to frayed denim shorts. We *love* a two-piece. They're also really handy for festivals, as you don't have to think about how you'll make the rest of the outfit pop. The co-ord does all the talking! Be sure to pair the skirt/skort/shorts with a plain top underneath, like Maya did last year. This way, you've still got a fire outfit if you remove the jacket. Getting the right bag for Glasto can be tricky. It can't be too big, but it can't be too small. It also needs to match most of your outfits. If you're going for 2005 Kate Moss vibes, a black faux leather satchel that can hang over your body is a perfect shout. It's understated but cool, and can fit the festival essentials in like lipgloss, face powder, and your purse. Let's face it, even though the sun might be shining, there's always going to be a chance of rain at Glastonbury. It's the UK, after all. But just because you have to prepare for bad weather, doesn't mean that you can't make it fashion. Opt for a bright pop of colour when picking your raincoat, like Annie Mac did last year. If you're into the maximalist look, she also styled it with a lime green mini satchel and leopard print trousers, which is a whole festival inspo fit in itself. That dry shampoo not doing it for you anymore? As you near the end of Glastonbury (and not to sound minging), there's only so much a baby wipe wash can do. The solution? A good old hat. While Saffron Hocking understood the method dressing assignment, going for farm chic, there are so many headwear variations you can go for. For example, last year, it was all about the furry bucket hat. Or, keep it more casual with a baseball cap, loved by celebs from Dua Lipa to Cara Delevingne. Glastonbury style is way more cool and casual than Coachella, meaning an assortment of shorts in your case is a non-negotiable. You don't just have to go for the classic frayed denim look if that's not your style. Scalloped white shorts also give off that classic Glasto boho vibe, and look both effortless and timeless. It's the last day, and while you still want to look good, it's more about achieving the perfect balance of casual and comfy. With that, it's all about baggy combats and oversized shirts and jackets. If you can bag an artist tee, even better. Sophie Williams is a Freelance Journalist and Copywriter, covering everything from Fashion to Entertainment to music, Lifestyle and Features.

Jonathan Anderson Heads All of Dior & Demna Unveils Final Balenciaga Ready-to-Wear Collection in This Week's Top Fashion News

Below, Hypebeast has rounded up the top fashion stories of the week so you can stay up to date on trends in the industry. In a major shift for the legendary French maison, Dior has confirmed Jonathan Anderson as its eighth couturier, taking the reins as the creative director for both its women's, men's and haute couture collections. The appointment marks the first time a single designer will have creative helm over all three divisions since Monsieur Christian Dior himself. Anderson was initially appointed as the creative director of Dior Homme on April 17, 2025, succeeding Kim Jones. Days prior to the latest development, Maria Grazia Chiuri's departure from Dior's womenswear and couture lines was confirmed on May 29 following her Cruise 2026 show. His first women's ready-to-wear collection for the maison is expected to debut during Paris Fashion Week in October, following his highly anticipated first Dior menswear collection on June 27. Anderson said in a statement, 'I am incredibly honored to be given the opportunity to unite Dior's women's, men's and couture collections under a single, cohesive vision. My instinct is to be led by the house's empathetic spirit. I look forward to working alongside its legendary ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Bernard Arnault and Delphine Arnault for their trust and loyalty over the years.' For Spring 2026, Demna has revisits to his famously controversial Balenciaga 'archetypes' — all of the references, shapes, sentiments and concepts that have come to define his decade-spanning tenure at the House. In those years, the designer transformed the Spanish label from a $400 million USD business into a $2 billion USD mammoth. Titled 'Exactitudes,' inspired by Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek's scientific photographer series, the collection spotlights Demna's anthropological approach to fashion and dress codes. 'This collection embodies the multitude of design codes that have been part of my creative vision and research on fashion at Balenciaga for a decade,' the designer said. 'It combines pieces from 35 different collections with new pieces and garments from my personal wardrobe, representing the volumes, silhouettes, and attitudes that have defined my vision and my questioning of the contemporary wardrobe, what people actually wear, how they wear it, and what the fine line is between luxury and fashion.' On Monday morning, Kontoor Brands, parent to heritage denim labels Lee and Wrangler, finalized its previously announced deal to acquire performance gear brand Helly Hansen, closing at $900 million USD. The move arrives as major players in the apparel sector look to get in on the growth of the outdoor and performance gear market, a development particularly relevant to Kontoor, whose bread and butter has been its small group of heritage lifestyle labels. ccording to Kontoor, Helly Hansen is expected to boost the company's revenue, adjusted earnings per share, and cash flow with immediate effects in fiscal 2025. Per a report from Ecotextile News, the brand is anticipated generate upwards of $680 million USD in revenue and $80 million USD in adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025. Matthew M. Williams iet to debut his new namesake clothing brand during Paris Men's Fashion Week, expanding his breadth beyond 1017 ALYX 9SM and his recent tenure at Givenchy. Williams' aesthetic has been defined by his application of utilitarian elements, industrial aesthetics, and sophisticated minimalism. However, details around what approach he will adopt in his first namesake collection are sparse. The independent clothing project will be unveiled at the Seiya Nakamura showroom in Paris, with men's and women's collections expected to reflect the American designer's product-based approach. The Seiya Nakamura showroom will also showcase Craig Green, Taiga Takahashi, Arpa Studio, Amomento, Song for the Mute, Khoki, and Edward Cuming. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Vogue on Tuesday revealed the ten finalists for the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, an award created to help establish the next generation of American designers. The 2025 finalists include Ashlynn Park of Ashlynn, Julian Louie of Aubero, Bach Mai, Bernard James, Ashley Moubayed of Don't Let Disco, Gabe Gordon and Thomthy Gibbons of Gabe Gordon, Stephanie Suberville of Heirlome, Jamie Okuma, Meruert Tolegen, and Peter Do. This year, the program will award one honoree with a $300,000 USD cash prize and two runner-ups with $100,000 USD, while offering all finalists meaningful business mentorships. The aforementioned designers' works will be judged by the 2023 Selection Committee, which includes Vogue's Anna Wintour, Mark Holgate, and Nicole Phelps, Instagram's Eva Chen, Fifteen Percent Pledge founder Aurora James, moddel Paloma Elsesser, Nordstrom's Rickie De Sole, Saks' Roopal Patel, CFDA chairman Thom Browne, and Gap's Zac Posen. The winner is slated to be announced on November 18. NY-based sportswear designer Eric Emanuel's eponymous label is embarking in its next chapter with the unveiling of its first-ever full seasonal collection. Styled by Ian Bradley and photographed by Menelik Puryear, the hefty lookbook celebrates Emanuel's energetic ethos and sense of humor with casual styling and bold hues for the summertime. Comprising tailored essentials, colorful, textured knits, retro sports gear, branded underwear, and more, the label's inaugural SS25 collection expands on its sports-focused aesthetic with playful colors and textures. The Eric Emanuel SS25 Collection launches first with the Summer Cableknit Shorts & Zip-Ups in Navy, Green & Yellow, Oxford Shirting in Blue, Pink and White, and Linen Track Pants in Brown/Blue, Green/Blue, and Ivory/Blue, today at the brand's web store.
