Does Kate Middleton want to trigger a Topshop skinny jeans renaissance?
Middleton never put her drainpipes away, admittedly — they work as well for her during outdoor pursuits to celebrate the Kings Coronation as they do for that sneaky night out at Houghton Festival — however this year, as skinny jeans have hit the recent catwalks of Alexander McQueen to Miu Miu, and been fully backed by Kate Moss, the effects may actually ripple. Last month, British Vogue ran a piece titled 'Guess Who's Back? Meet the New and Improved Skinny Jean'. Earlier this year, influencer Alix Earle launched her own range of skinnies with FRAME, who said 'I think it's always fun recycling old trends and bringing them into a new day and age.'

Dua Lipa confirms long-speculated engagement to actor Callum Turner
Dua Lipa has confirmed her engagement to the English actor Callum Turner, months after speculation began. She went on the record about the engagement in a cover story for British Vogue 's July issue, published Thursday, calling it 'very exciting.' The 29-year-old said she was obsessed with the ring Turner had made for her. '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,' she told the magazine. Fans had theorized the ring Lipa began sporting in photos at the end of December signaled an engagement, but the pair did not publicly confirm the rumor for months, even after appearing together at last month's Met Gala. Lipa says they haven't set wedding plans yet — she's still on tour and Turner is filming, 'so we're just enjoying this period,' she told British Vogue, adding that they try not to spend more than 2 ½ weeks apart. Images of Lipa and Turner, 35, together began surfacing in January 2024. She told British Vogue that they had initially met at a London restaurant, before reconnecting during a dinner in L.A., where they learned they were both reading the same book: Hernan Diaz's 'Trust,' a Pulitzer Prize winner. (Lipa runs the influential Service95 Book Club.) The London-born, British Albanian powerhouse is credited with revitalizing a kind of energetic disco-pop sound in the mainstream, beginning with the release of her 2017 self-titled album and carrying throughout 2020's 'Future Nostalgia' and 2024's 'Radical Optimism.' 'Dance music has such a long history of creating such a safe space. And I just want to embody that,' she told The Associated Press last year. Across her career, Lipa has won three Grammys and boasts five top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: 2017's 'New Rules,' 2019's 'Don't Start Now,' 2020's 'Levitating,' 2021's 'Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)' with Elton John, and 2023's 'Dance the Night,' from the star-studded 'Barbie' soundtrack. Turner is known for his roles in the 'Fantastic Beasts' movies as well as the George Clooney-directed 'The Boys in the Boat' and World War ll drama series 'Masters of the Air' on Apple TV+.

Dua Lipa FINALLY confirms engagement to Callum Turner as she reveals romantic way they met – and how he picked the ring
DUA Lipa has finally confirmed she is engaged to be married after The Sun revealed Callum Turner popped the question. The pop star, who turns 30 in August, opens up on her happy news in the latest issue of British Vogue and reveals the romantic way they met. 5 She says they were introduced at a restaurant while she was having dinner with her dad, and he made a great impression. She bumped into the Fantastic Beasts actor by chance a year later in LA, and she thought: "Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe. "We both just happened to be reading the same book". Dua believes it was fate that brought them together, and reveals: "We're engaged. It's very exciting." Dua tells Vogue Calum had the ring customed made and he sought advice from her best friends and her sister. The Houdini hitmaker gushes: "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." The couple are now waiting for her Radical Optimism Tour to end before planning their wedding. She says: "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?'" Shoppers stunned as pop megastar spotted buying groceries at the supermarket - would you have noticed her Dua, who stuns on the cover of Vogue in satin lingerie, also opens up about her teenage years in North London. From the age of 12 to 15 she lived in Kosovo, but her parents allowed her to return to London where she was born to pursue her dream of singing. With the consent of her parents she lived in a flat with a family friend and attended secondary school. But Dua failed her A Levels because she was always out clubbing around Camden, adding: "When I was young, trying to get into clubs was kind of easy because every bouncer was Albanian. "All I needed to do was speak Albanian to the bouncer." Her love of going out helped nurture her dreams: "My whole goal, with my show, is: 'I want to start people dancing and I want them to leave for home dancing. "And I guess that is to do with my love of going out and bringing people together in that time." Sources told The Sun back in January that Dua was engaged. They said: 'Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever. 'They are engaged and couldn't be happier. 'Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake. 'Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy. It's been an amazing Christmas for them.'
