Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Step Out in Coordinated Looks at Trooping the Colour
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are celebrating Trooping the Colour Kate Middleton and Prince William's children have all attended the military parade since they were babies The moment marks the Prince and Princess of Wales' children's second major appearance of the year so farPrince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are making their royal return to Trooping the Colour. On June 14, Kate Middleton and Prince William's three children stepped out to attend Trooping the Colour in London. Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, have all attended the military parade, which recognizes the monarch's official birthday each year, since they were toddlers. The royal siblings wore outfits that coordinated perfectly with their parents. Princess Charlotte matched mom Princess Kate in an aqua dress, while Prince George and Prince Louis sported suits with red ties, coordinating with dad Prince William's military uniform. Charlotte also wore a special touch — the same brooch gifted by her late great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, which she previously wore to the monarch's funeral in September 2022. After arriving by car at Buckingham Palace, the trio rode in a horse-drawn carriage with Princess Kate down The Mall in London. Princess Charlotte sat next to their mother, while Prince George and Prince Louis rode side-by-side, facing backward. The children's longtime nanny, Maria Borallo, was also seen on the parade ground in her signature tan uniform. In recent years, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have participated in the parade in two major ways. Since 2022, the children have traveled by carriage down The Mall to watch the pageantry at Horse Guards Parade. They also have appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the grand finale — the flypast performed by the Royal Air Force — since they were young. Last year, Prince Louis stole the show by dancing, yawning and playing with curtain cords while watching the actual trooping of the "colour" (or regimental presentation of flags) from the Major General's Office overlooking Horse Guards Parade. Another breakout moment was when Princess Charlotte snapped into big sister mode and told her little brother Louis how to stand on the palace balcony as the national anthem played. Trooping the Colour marks Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis' second major royal event of the year. The children joined their parents in a surprise public appearance on May 5, attending the parade and flypast that kickstarted the U.K.'s commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VE Day. The event fell two weeks after Easter, when William and Kate skipped the royal family's traditional Easter church outing to instead mark the holiday privately in Norfolk, where they have a country home. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! The Prince and Princess of Wales are known to strike a careful balance around raising their children in the royal spotlight while prioritizing their privacy and family time. George, Charlotte and Louis only attend a handful of public events each year, and William and Kate clear their work calendars when their children are off from school. Speaking to Hello! magazine in 2024, royal biographer Ingrid Seward said, "Like many famous parents, they are cautious about exposing the children to too much scrutiny in this digital age. They know they must produce the children at certain times, but I think they very much keep them under wraps the rest of the time." Offering comment on George, Charlotte and Louis' sibling bond, Seward said, "The three of them seem to get on incredibly well. They're close in age, they all enjoy sports, they're bound by the situation they're in and they're all in it together. And I think that makes them all closer." Read the original article on People

Jermaine Dupri Hints At Drake Getting His Own Radio Station In ‘Grand Theft Auto 6'
Jermaine Dupri might have just leaked the biggest musical Easter egg tied to Grand Theft Auto VI — and it involves Drake. While speaking with Rory and Mal on their eponymous podcast, the Atlanta super producer casually revealed, 'They asked me to do Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto.' According to Dupri, not only has Rockstar Games tapped the rap icon for his own personalized in-game radio station, but 'Drake can actually upload music that we probably have never even heard online on that video game,' he shared. That means GTA VI may have the ability to debut exclusive tracks through gameplay. The highly anticipated game is set to release on May 26, 2026. While Rockstar hasn't confirmed Drake's acquirement, notably fans have long desired the ability to curate their own radio stations within the GTA universe. If true, the Toronto star might be the first to make that vision a virtual reality. Aside from the 'Nokia' rapper, ScHoolboy Q also revealed back in February 2023 that he'd be featured musically in GTA VI, while T-Pain shared he had worked with Rockstar as well. And though DJ Khaled hasn't confirmed his involvement directly, rumors earlier this year suggested he might be hosting his own station when the game drops. If artists can use the game as a DSP to drop exclusives, the lines between streaming culture and gaming will get blurrier and a lot more interesting. Diving more into the streaming world, Drake is set to appear on Kai Cenat's livestream to review entries for their 'Somebody Loves Me' music video contest. The event, which was supposed to take place last night (June 12) was postponed until further notice. 'We need more time with the treatments for 'Somebody Loves Me,' so we are pushing the stream back a few more days,' Cenat explained via Instagram Story. No new date has been revealed yet.

In Materialists, Dakota Johnson Wears A Working Girl -Inspired Uniform, Proenza Schouler Gown & Dôen Florals
Spoilers for Materialists ahead. Toward the end of Materialists, Celine Song's exploration of the contradictions of dating and modern love, pragmatic professional matchmaker Lucy (Dakota Johnson) reaches an epiphany. 'When you love someone, it'll be easy,' she says. 'There's no math.' Until then, Lucy relied on a quantitative approach in determining matches for her clients — and herself. Her data-driven methodology also comes through in her professional aesthetic, full of straight lines and formulas of solid neutrals, as crafted by costume designer Katina Danabassis. But, as Lucy allows love into the equation, her wardrobe begins to bloom, sometimes literally with florals. Lucy's chic, straightforward lineup of suit separates and classic, fine-knit cardigans is partially informed by Song's own experience working as a matchmaker in New York City — a fun fact that adds depth to the character's style. 'It was important to convey that [Lucy] wasn't stealing anyone's shine when it came to her clients. It has to be professional, and appeal to a high-end clientele,' Danabassis, who led costume design for Song's last (and very different) love-triangle film, Past Lives. 'When you're millionaire matchmaking, you have to look the part. But also not come across as someone who's necessarily available.' Lucy eventually allows herself to be available when confronted with two options: the seemingly-perfect financier Harry (Pedro Pascal) and her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans), a struggling actor who still lives with roommates. Ahead, Danabassis takes us through how Lucy's love story unfolds through her wardrobe. Always focused, Lucy targets new clients as she commutes to work — and her outfits support the pitch. In the opening scenes, she confidently strides in a strong-shouldered Aritzia blazer and knee-high Paris Texas boots, nearly causing finance bro Robert (Eddie Cahill) to have whiplash as he walks in the opposite direction. 'I was really interested in the idea of putting her in a power suit,' says Danabassis. 'Not only because it's a little bit fresh, but also it seems to be something of a bygone era.' Reflecting a NYC, always-on-the-move sense of dressing, the costume designer teamed the navy pinstripe blazer with a black, wide-striped mini skirt from a Versace suit and a white satin Banana Republic blouse. 'It just felt very New York; timeless, but powerful, modern, but throwback — and iconic,' says Danabassis, referencing a standout memory of a woman in a skirt suit and Dries van Noten-esque thigh-high boots strutting across Bowery Street in Manhattan. Danabassis also dropped in an Easter egg.'It's also a nod to Working Girl,' she says, referring to the 1988 classic starring Johnson's mom, Melanie Griffith, whose character famously wore sneakers with skirt suits to the office. Lucy's Blue Gown Lucy's a top performer at work — with nine marriages to her credit. She's even invited to the latest nuptials of two high-net-worth (and high-maintenance) individuals. Lucy opts for a strapless, draped Proenza Schouler dress in a striking peacock blue that attracts the eye of the viewer and Harry, the rich, swoon-worthy brother of the groom. 'We need something that pops. But simultaneously, it shouldn't be something that's going to steal any shine from the bride,' says Danabassis of her thinking, which led to the pairing of the 'origami-style dress' with silver Bottega Veneta heels. 'Also, the dress is not too fussy. In reality, yes, it was a fussy dress. We had to make sure that it was tied perfectly [at the back]. But it was really simple. Like, you can function in it.' Lucy multitasks like a pro: crisis managing the bride's cold feet, charming potential new clients, and slipping out of the opulent ballroom to reconnect with John, a cater-waiter at the reception. She also agrees to a steamy dance with Harry, in exchange for him agreeing to call her agency. 'It's a work function, basically. She's there to support, but not be a wallflower entirely,' says Danabassis. 'Because she's still a woman in New York and doing her thing.' Lucy's Date-Night Looks She ultimately agrees to consider Harry — 'a unicorn, an impossible fantasy,' as Lucy describes him — as a prospect for herself, and not her loyal clients. Over a series of dinner dates (where they strategically assess each other through their methodical view of relationships), Lucy wears refined, uncomplicated pieces, like a dark St. John blazer over a Leset tank and a strappy black halter dress from Laundry by Shelly Segal. 'She's appealing to his sensibilities, which is just classic, chic, upscale, and a little bit minimal,' says Danabassis. When a previously skeptical Lucy agrees to go all-in with Harry, she elevates her signature black monochrome with a sheer Simkhai top, layered over an Only Hearts bra, and a vintage double-breasted blazer. Her knee-length Another Tomorrow skirt, with dynamic tasseled fringe (a more fun take on the business-like skirt she wears earlier in the film), takes on a life of its own as she and Harry do a dance of sorts through the hallways of his sprawling $12 million Tribeca penthouse. 'We theorized that it should [evolve from] her not trying too, too hard to ramping up to, 'Okay, I'm gonna do a little bit more here.' But keep it very New York, chic, [and] clean,' says Danabassis. 'That black outfit popped against the warmth of his apartment, and the Gucci shoes were amazing because of the shine and the metallic chain at the back.' Lucy's Flashback Florals A flashback reveals Lucy and John's emotional breakup, occurring when they were both cash-strapped actors but chasing divergent goals and lifestyles. Lucy's delicately ruffled floral Dôen top, Nili Lotan straight-leg jeans, and Loeffler Randall mules feel sentimental and hopeful. 'It's that cute look that you put together for going out for your anniversary,' says Danabassis. 'That's not trying too hard or trying to match the same level as the guy. It's really just her.' Lucy also wears a sweet, thrift-store-bought heart necklace that reflects a differing mindset from her present-day sleek Spinelli Kilcollin rolo chain that telegraphs geometry. 'When she's dating Harry, she's in this city mode,' says Danabassis. 'When it's John, it's more naturalistic, grounded, floral, and ethereal.' Lucy's "Reveal" Outfit John finally lands a role in an off-off-Broadway play and invites Lucy, who brings her now-boyfriend Harry. Her outfit — a long '90s-style black leather jacket by Coach, white MNG cami, and Zara high-waisted, wide-leg jeans — fits the venue and post-show dive bar drinks. 'She knows what world she's entering into, like a dingy Brooklyn playhouse thing. But Harry doesn't know where he's going. So he wears his 'Oh, this is my country blazer,'' says Danabassis, about Harry's 'fit: a tweedy Ralph Lauren jacket, caramel-brown Zegna button-down, Hermès dark jeans, and Bottega Veneta oxfords. But the casual-cool ensemble also feels like a slight reveal of her long-suppressed feelings for John — and harbinger of an impending divide with Harry. Lucy's Wedding-Crasher Dress A traumatic event pushes Lucy to accept and follow her feelings, instead of crunching the numbers. She shows up on John's doorstep with luggage packed for a now-canceled Iceland jaunt with Harry. Lucy and John then take a spontaneous drive upstate to crash a rustic wedding. Luckily, John keeps a cater-waiter suit in the trunk of his beat-up car. Lucy presumably plucks a floaty, buttercream yellow Dôen dress out of her suitcase and doesn't change out of her black Nike sneakers. Although the dress — with a curved empire waistline, watercolor florals, fluttery ruffles, and floral appliqués — evokes country wedding more than the luxury vacation she was on her way to take. 'I mean, sure, she could have packed that for Iceland. Like, [Lucy and Harry] were going on a date somewhere, and she's trying to do her special thing and get more in tune with herself. That's the idea there,' explains Danabassis. 'Really, it's just a romantic dress that hits the hidden theme of flowers as a symbol of love that was carried throughout the movie.' Kind of like completing a complex math calculation by maintaining all the variables along the way.
