Charli XCX wedding reception 'featured only 20 guests'
The 32-year-old singer, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, got hitched to The 1975 drummer George Daniel, 34, in a private ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, east London, on the weekend.
After tying the knot, the couple reportedly headed to an Italian restaurant and hosted a party at a local bar.
A source told The Sun the couple invited about 20 guests for what was described as a "very cool" and intimate day - a contrast to the larger celebration they are planning in Sicily later in 2025.
After exchanging vows in Hackney, Charli and Daniel walked to the nearby Italian restaurant Dalla for a private dinner.
"Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat. Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla," an insider told The Sun.
"The restaurant had closed for them and they had a massive family-style meal with loads of pasta and champagne.
"People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.
"Charli and George then went to a nearby hotel to get changed before they went to Ellie's for a party."
The reception continued at Ellie's, a bar in Dalston that opened in May and is becoming known as one of the capital's trendiest spots. Ellie's is known for its STG8 ($A16.50) martinis.
Charli reportedly changed out of her STG3300 ($A6800) Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora mini dress into a second white outfit in case of any drink spills.
"To get in you just had to walk up to the front and say 'Charli'," the source said.
"Once inside, Charli and George had laid on a free bar and there were trays of cigarettes lying around for the smokers.
"There was a 'no social media' policy so no one posted any of the pictures from the reception online. It went on until around 4am when everyone crashed out and went home."
Earlier in July, it was reported Charli and Daniel had chosen Sicily as the location for their second, larger wedding later in 2025.
"This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months. "Charli and George had the most perfect day in London," The Sun source said.
"It was everything they wanted it to be - relaxed, informal and fun."

Mortifying moment Lady Gaga falls to the ground in front of fans in awkward concert blunder
Lady Gaga fell to the ground just inches away from fans during an awkward slip-up at her Las Vegas concert over the weekend. Pop superstar Gaga, 39, was performing Vanish Into You during Saturday night's Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena when the mishap unfolded, reports The Sun. It began when one of her cameramen lost his balance after departing the stage and had to be steadied by a nearby security guard. Gaga calmly adjusted the crew member's equipment and continued walking – only to trip herself moments later. She managed to catch her footing and carried on singing, but stumbled again just before the word 'fly' and fell sideways near the edge of the stage. The moment, caught on fan cameras, showed the singer landing close to the front row, where audience members were watching from just feet away. One shared the clip to TikTok, writing: 'MY POOR MOTHER MONSTER FALLING DURING VANISH INTO YOU [crying emoji] AND THE CAMERAMAN JUST BEFORE.' Despite the tumble, Gaga was helped up and immediately resumed the song without missing a beat. The incident took place during the first week of Gaga's global tour, which launched on 16 July and will continue through to January with a final run of shows in Japan. It follows a series of stage mishaps involving other major stars. Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show when a red car she was performing in got stuck. During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables. She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side. The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signalled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground. Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: 'I wanna thank y'all, for loving me. 'If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me.' Katy Perry, meanwhile, nearly fell from a giant sphere on her Lifetimes tour in Australia and later appeared to slip on a butterfly-shaped prop during Roar. She had climbed into the huge metal structure when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle. An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy – who was clinging on to the sides – could climb down safely. With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting 'go, Katy!' as she made her way out and onto the floor.

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's Netflix deal 'coming to an end'
Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's Netflix deal is reportedly coming to an end. The couple signed an agreement with the streaming giant - said to be worth around $100 million - after stepping back as senior members of Britain's royal family and carving out a new life in California but a new report now suggests the lucrative contract will not be renewed after it expires in September. A source told The Sun newspaper: "The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple ... They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time. "There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course." Another insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: "They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new." The couple created a number of shows for Netflix including their tell-all documentary Harry and Meghan as well as the Duchess' lifestyle series With Love, Meghan and Harry's sport show Polo. Meghan is believed to be focusing on building her lifestyle brand As Ever, which has sold jam, teas, and biscuits and a rose wine since its launch but she previously announced she was pausing new product launches until she had a strategy in place to scale up production. Speaking to guest Tina Knowles on her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast, she said: "You can say, 'Oh, I made this in my house' ... I'm going, 'I just picked these strawberries, and it's so great! "Look, I just put a little bit of sugar and some Meyer lemon', and you try to scale that up and you're wanting to manage expectations, but you want to share the thing you've worked so hard on." Meghan compared the launch to a "sneaker drop" and noted that while the 'scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people', she didn't want to annoy shoppers. She added: 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time. "So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year and then everything sells out in 45 minutes. "Yes, amazing – great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'OK, we planned as best as we could'. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? "I'm looking at it saying 'just pause'. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need."

The siblings behind Via Porta open an Italian-inspired cafe in Melbourne's leafy north-east
Previous SlideNext Slide Cafe$$$$ The latest venue by siblings Sarah, Simon, Ryan and Jonathan Cosentino (Via Porta) has opened on a quiet strip of shops on Waterdale Road in Ivanhoe. Its name honours their mother, Lucia, who instilled in them a love of food and hospitality. But it also translates to 'light' in their native Italian. The warm and welcoming eatery with its large open kitchen is inspired by the Cosentinos' upbringing, including the homely pastas that graced the family table. The menu includes a punchy puttanesca and 'nonna's' bolognese. But there are also fresh ideas on show. Chicken schnitzel showered in parmesan comes with a sidecar of vodka-tomato sauce. Ricotta hotcakes served with maple syrup, mascarpone and blueberry compote are 'like a hybrid between your standard pancake and your Japanese pancake'. A few Via Porta favourites are also in the mix. There are fried eggs in spicy all'arrabbiata-inspired sugo; crab spaghetti with fermented chilli and lemon crumb; and doorstopper French toast, made of croissant dough that's baked in a loaf tin then topped with poached pears, almond brittle, caramel sauce and creme anglaise.
