Summer nuptials coming up? Here's the ultimate wedding guest dress guide
From breezy 'I dos' on a balmy beach in Bali to enchanting nuptials in the South of France, brace yourselves as wedding season is officially upon us. Once you've RSVP'ed yes to that romantic garden soirée or a dreamy destination wedding on a tropical island, the excitement quickly turns to the inevitable sartorial problem of not knowing what to wear. But on the bright side, a summer wedding replete with a golden-hour ceremony and al fresco reception is the perfect opportunity to play dress up. As the temperatures in town start taking it up a notch, herein comes the season's most coveted wedding guest wardrobe staple: dresses. A must-have to own for its simple ease of slipping into, especially on days when you're looking to feel some breeze on your skin.
Be it a city ceremony or backyard nuptials—there's a dress for every type of wedding. While the season calls for flowy silhouettes, bold hues, and playful prints, dressing for a wedding still comes with its own set of rules. First and foremost: never upstage the bride. That means you need to stay away from anything white, ivory, or too bridal. Next is to stick to the dress code. You don't want to be too overdressed or underdressed for the occasion. That being said, as the season takes its turn on the axis, we're starting to see a slew of wedding-ready dresses worthy of our attention. From Kendall Jenner turning heads in a romantic floral ensemble at the high-profile wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, to Emily Ratajkowski's iconic plunging yellow satin gown at Marc Jacobs' nuptials, take a leaf from the books of our favourite celebrities. Because the unanimous verdict is: they're doing wedding guest fashion right.

How to wear your summer whites, according to these celebrities
@dualipa When summer calls, one colour reigns. All over the internet and your social media feeds, celebrities appear in droves, decked out in this unwavering hue. Between photo dumps of themselves and paparazzi shots of them out and about, you'll see them make this colour the official colour of the season—be it whether it's for an official appearance or simply a day by the beach. Simply put; they don't call it summer whites for no reason. 2025 is no different—the It girls have made it loud and clear. Think Sabrina Carpenter's matching summer sets to Dua Lipa's recent photo dump of her Italian summer sojourn through Palermo with partner Callum Turner (her man kept to the theme in a white polo too!). Earlier during the tennis season, courtside attendees also abided by the player's rules: of Wimbledon whites. Nicole Kidman was the very picture of quiet luxury in menswear suiting from Brunello Cucinelli, Keira Knightley looked effortlessly chic in a breezy Chanel ensemble, and Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro hard-launched their relationship, perfectly colour-coordinated. Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield making their first official appearance as a couple at the Wimbledon 2025 Championships. Getty To suit the summer mood, babydoll dresses have seen an uptick too. Floral-adorned frocks are a surefire favourite too—as seen on the likes of the lovable Sana of Twice. And if it's swimwear cover-ups you're looking for, Kylie Jenner could give a masterclass in the brief. So they're all serving up inspiration—for every manner of occasion.

Book review: The First Fools makes Singapore's 10 ‘founding fathers' flesh and blood again
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The First Fools: B-Sides Of Lee Kuan Yew's A-Team explores the colourful lives of Singapore's "founding fathers" such as Mr Lee Kuan Yew (second from right), Mr S. Rajaratnam (second from left), Dr Toh Chin Chye (centre, in black spectacles) and Mr Jek Yeun Thong (in black pants). In primary school, this reviewer came into possession of a yellowed sheet of laminated paper, on which the headshots of Singapore's 10 'founding fathers' were arranged haphazardly. They stared, their expression somewhere between stoic and emotionless; meeting their eyes, one was wont to feel nothing too.
