Noel Gallagher's Ex Meg Mathews Reveals Real Reason She Left Oasis Gig Early
On Friday night, Meg was in attendance when Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher performed their first gig as Oasis since 2009, kicking off a much-hyped reunion tour.
However, The Mirror reported that she left the concert during the encore, shortly before the brothers performed Wonderwall, a song for which she is widely believed to have been the inspiration.
While much was made in the tabloid press about the fact Meg chose this moment as her cue to leave the gig, she has since insisted she simply wanted to duck out before the end to avoid the 'carnage' of leaving the stadium at the same time as everyone else.
Posting on Instagram the following morning, Meg echoed the sentiments of critics by giving the gig 'five stars' and saying that she 'loved every minute'.
'It was worth the countdown,' she added, before turning her attention to 'all the f**king papers' commenting on her early exit.
Meg wrote: '[I left during] the encore as I have left many a stadium at the end and it's carnage. But yes, I could hear Wonderwall as I walked to my car!'
'Happy now?' she added.

Noel and Meg were married for four years between 1997 and 2001, and share a daughter, 25-year-old Anaïs Gallagher.
He also has two sons, 17-year-old Donovan and 14-year-old Sonny, with his second wife, Sara McDonald, from whom he split up in 2022.
Oasis kicked off their comeback tour with two shows in Cardiff on Friday and Saturday, with dates currently scheduled in Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin across July and August.
The brothers will then take the tour overseas to Canada, the USA and Mexico, before arriving in South America and Asia later in the year.

Jannik Sinner Wins The Rematch With Carlos Alcaraz To Claim His First Wimbledon Title
Jannik Sinner has won his first Wimbledon championship, beating seemingly his only challenger on tennis's biggest stages, Carlos Alcaraz, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. It's the fourth major title for Sinner, the world's number-one ranked player—and likely a kind of exorcism of the defeat he suffered at the hands of Alcaraz in last month's epic French Open final. 'I had a very tough loss in Paris,' Sinner said on-court after his win, 'but at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you win or you lose; you just have to pay attention to the things you did wrong… and that's one of the reasons I'm holding this trophy… I'm very happy that I hold my nerves. It's an amazing feeling.' While the match perhaps won't garner quite the level of superlatives their French final did, it was incredibly closely fought throughout, with points decided by millimeters, games often by a mere point, and sets by only a single break of serve. Both players appeared somewhat awed by the circumstance, and particularly in the early sets the hitting was at once powerful, precise, and nervy. The rapt crowd watching the game's two best players included Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales with Prince George and Princess Charlotte; King Felipe VI of Spain; Jean Ashe, the widow of the legendary Arthur Ashe, who won Wimbledon 50 years ago; Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London; an array of Wimbledon champions from Bjorn Borg and Andre Agassi to Chris Evert and Stefan Edberg; Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightly, Matthew McConaughey, Paul Mescal, and Formula 1 driver George Russell, to name just a few. Alcaraz struck first, rolling off four straight games to claim the first set; Sinner answered in the second (which was briefly disrupted in perhaps the most Wimbledon way ever: first by the sound of a champagne bottle popping, and then the cork flying onto the court) and continued to find his groove in the third set, particularly with his serve and his down-the-line backhand—perhaps his best weapon today. (Sinner took note of the cork-popping after the match: 'Only here at Wimbledon,' he said, 'but that's exactly why we love playing here.') It was only in the fourth set that Alcaraz, who normally stalks the court with a kind of barely bottled intensity, appeared dispirited, even dejected—seemingly unable to come up with an answer for Sinner's consistency and strategy by relying on his usual nuclear firepower.

Keira Knightley and Husband James Righton Wear Almost Identical Wimbledon Whites
Keira Knightley and husband James Righton made an appearance at the Men's Final at Wimbledon on July 13. They wore almost identical all-white ensembles for the occasion. Other couples have recently made stylish appearances at Wimbledon including Matthew McConaughey and Camila Knightley and her husband James Righton stepped out for a rare joint outing on July 13. The pair were spotted in the stands of Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to watch the Men's Final at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships—and, naturally, the British couple absolutely nailed the unofficial Wimbledon dress code wearing almost identical all-white ensembles. Knightley wore a button-up white top with short sleeves and wide lapels forming a soft v-neck. The top appeared to be casually tucked into a pair of matching loose white pants. She paired the all-white ensemble with a choker-style pearl and gold necklace and stacked gold hoops on both ears. She also wore a pearl and gold belt around her waist. She donned a pair of square black sunglasses and wore her hair in an ultra slick low bun with a center part. Meanwhile, Righton matched his wife in a textured white suit with a white shirt and even a white tie. Like his wife, he also wore square black sunglasses. The couple are only the latest pair to give their take on Wimbledon couples dressing. Yesterday, actor Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves also served a sartorial ace with their matching looks. McConaughey wore a blue suit with a grass green tie, while Alves wore a white suit with brown boho touches. A few days earlier, actor Andrew Garfield and his girlfriend actress Monica Barbaro appeared at the championships. Like Knightley and Righton, they opted for matching all-white ensembles. And, a few days before that, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas wore two coordinated Ralph Lauren looks. Although Knightley and Righton don't make a lot of joint appearances, their Wimbledon date comes just a few days after they stepped out together at Paris Fashion Week for Chanel's Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 show. Last year, the couple were also spotted together at the Wimbledon quarterfinals. This year, Knightley and Righton found themselves seated with Anna Wintour, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Scott, and Paul Mescal. Read the original article on InStyle

Princess Charlotte's Wimbledon Manicure Did Not Follow the Kate Middleton-Inspired Nail Trend
Karwai Tang Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte took a break from mother-daughter dressing at Wimbledon. On July 13, the Princess of Wales attended the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the second day in a row, this time joined by her husband, Prince William, as well as her two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. While Kate, Will, and George were all dressed in shades of royal blue, Charlotte embraced Wimbledon tradition in a chic ruffled white dress and matching Mary Jane flats, abiding by the same all-white dress code as the tournament's esteemed tennis players. She polished off her look with a half-up braided hairstyle and dainty white bracelets, offering a pop of color with an unexpected manicure. For what appears to be the first time, the 10-year-old princess was photographed wearing nail polish—and she didn't go with the trending 'princess nails' inspired by her own family tree. In multiple photos, Charlotte can be seen sporting a bright, bubble gum pink manicure. It seems Kate Middleton is letting her daughter explore self-expression beyond the confines of royal tradition. Charlotte's late grandma, Queen Elizabeth, famously favored Essie's neutral shade Ballet Slippers, while Middleton is practically the face of 2025's reigning nail trend. 'The Royal Family tends to favor sheer, neutral shades on shorter, squoval-shaped nails,' Olive & June founder Sarah Gibson Tuttle told Harper's Bazaar in April 2023. 'It's a super-classic, clean look that looks timeless and royal appropriate. While we've all heard rumors of rules, I know royal nails are always pretty, polished, and perfectly manicured.' Nailed It 'Princess Nails' Are the Barely-There Manis Taking Over Your FYPs Short but sweet. Senior royals rarely venture beyond natural nail shades, immediately making headlines whenever they break away from that perceived standard. Of course, Princess Charlotte is just 10 years old, and there's probably nothing less exciting to a preteen than the idea of a sheer nude manicure. Honestly, same.
