Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra's boyfriend gives heartbreaking tribute at designer's funeral after she was found dead on Montauk boat
The Manhattan fashion designer found dead on a boat at the swanky Montauk Yacht Club was laid to rest in her native Ireland Wednesday — with her grief-stricken boyfriend telling mourners she had a way of 'lighting up every room.'

First Look: The Unveiled Heart Collection by Selkie
Designing wedding gowns has always been part of Kimberly Gordon's story. 'Even at the age of 12 I was sketching from bridal magazines,' the founder and creative director of Selkie says. With the newest collection called Unveiled Heart, Selkie leans further into bridal couture. The focus is on meeting brides where they are. Smaller weddings, more personal aesthetics. Ceremonies in backyards or courthouses. Moments that are about intimacy instead of spectacle. The idea started when Gordon saw how many brides were choosing Selkie's Waltz gown. 'These weddings felt private, deeply meaningful and less about grandiosity,' she recalls. 'They celebrated the couple themselves, their connection. Their personalities. That sparked this collection, Unveiled Heart.' The name is a nod to the intimacy of romance novels and the vulnerability of showing your heart to one person. The gowns are shaped for brides who want beauty that feels easy and natural. Gordon says she thought of early 20th century weddings. Homemade cakes, cotton dresses, simple celebrations. These new gowns carry that ease but still provide a sense of volume and drama. Several designs reach back to history for inspiration. The Antoinette gown first appeared on Selkie's Fall Libertine runway. Its corseted bodice and cotton fabric were drawn from Marie Antoinette's simpler dresses at Petit Trianon, when she would escape court life for something lighter. The Degas gown looks to the ballerinas of that era, their elegance and movement. Then there's Cupid, introduced around Valentine's Day. 'It has a playful, romantic feel,' Gordon explains. 'It's full of frills and channels a 1990s shabby chic vibe, reminiscent of Pamela Anderson.' Freedom is the idea at the center of the collection. Gordon doesn't want brides boxed in by trends or pressured into gowns that don't feel like them. 'Many brides tend to choose gowns based on body type or current trends, rather than reflecting who they are as people,' she says. 'We're less about trends and more about celebrating romantic periods, romantic ideas, and ultimately identity.' She wants dresses that let brides laugh and dance. Maybe even jump in the ocean at the end of the night. 'Our gowns are made to tug at the heartstrings and make you feel amazing, but in a way that's practical and fun.' Accessibility is another factor in the designs. Every gown is offered up to size 6X. Gordon and her team design with different body shapes in mind from the very start. 'We really think through how different bodies will move and feel in a gown,' she explains. How fabric falls, how a corset rests on larger busts, how a dress can skim hips without losing comfort. 'This is such a special moment in a person's life, and we want to be there for them,' says Gordon, 'Your body size isn't offensive, and it shouldn't ever be treated as such.' Unveiled Heart is romantic and pragmatic. A reminder that bridal fashion doesn't need to be extravagant to feel extraordinary. Founded in 2018, Selkie is a Los Angeles fashion house built around whimsy, romance and inclusivity. The brand became known for its voluminous Puff Dress and has since expanded into ready-to-wear, occasion and now bridal. Gordon's designs pull from history and fantasy but are made for the present, offering playful elegance in a size range that runs through 6X. At its core Selkie is about joy, imagination and making beauty available to everyone. Click here for more information on Selkie

Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
It's a royal move. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George,12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 10 Prince William, Princess Kate and their three children on April 23, 2020. BBC Children in Need/Comic Relief via Getty Images 10 Forest Lodge, formerly known as Holly Grove, in Windsor Great Park, Berkshire. Getty Images 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to People on Aug. 16. The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School. Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 10 The façade of Prince William and Princess Kate's rumored new Forest Lodge home. PA Images via Getty Images 10 The park around Forest Lodge. Getty Images 'Windsor has become their home,' a royal insider told the Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.' 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.' 10 The entrance hall of Forest Lodge. PA Images via Getty Images 10 A reception room, mid-renovation, inside Prince William and Princess Kate's rumored new Forest Lodge home. PA Images via Getty Images The royal pair are also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff. William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024. 'However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,' she added at the time. 10 Kate Middleton announced her shocking cancer diagnosis in March 2024. BBC 10 The royal couple shared a sweet snap to celebrate Valentine's Day. princeandprincessofwales/Instagram After several months of grueling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added. 10 Prince William and Princess Kate with their three kids on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour on June 17, 2023.

Getty Images But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.
