Earlier in June, she was spotted hanging out with some of the stars of season six at the Swim Week fashion show.

Chrishell Stause reveals her 'last attempt' to start family with G Flip as she reflects on IVF 'hell'
Chrishell Stause has revealed she is making one 'last attempt' at getting pregnant with partner G Flip. The couple, who tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2023, have been very open about their desire to have children and the painful side-effects of the IVF process. Now, the Selling Sunset star, 43, has revealed post she doesn't wish to go through the 'hell' of IVF injections again, adding: 'Back on the IVF hell train. I think this may be my last attempt. There are other alternatives, but this route needed to be tried first bc of timing. So if it's meant to be, it will be. If not, pivot.' Alongside the caption, Chrishell included a photo of her follicle-stimulating hormone and the pen used to inject it into her body. Chrishell disclosed in April she and G Flip, 31, are 'actively trying' to expand their family and have taken medical steps towards their goal. 'I'm literally still bleeding from a shot I had to just give myself,' Chrishell shared while speaking to Us Weekly at the Tryst hotel opening in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. G Flip previously opened up about the desire to have children with Chrishell. The singer said on the People Every Day podcast in May 2022: 'I definitely see children in my future. Right now, me and Chrishell know where we are in the stages of our lives. And we're very transparent about that. 'I love children. I was a music teacher for years before I became a session drummer and then a solo artist. So I was like, I've always loved kids and yeah, definitely one day that'll be in the future.' Chrishell and G Flip first met at a Halloween party in 2021, approximately two years after the collapse of Chrishell's marriage to Justin Hartley. They started dating in March 2022 and went public with their relationship that May before getting married in secret the following year.

Meghan launches new jams and £20 orange blossom honey in website restock
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on her As Ever site. Also available are an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging' and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of herbal teas at £9 each. In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' June gloom? Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back Duchess of Sussex Meghan previously said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'

Fashion outrage as on-set photos of TV series fail to nail Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's style
In fashion, only the real favourites have acronyms. See SJP for Sarah Jessica Parker, ALT for fashion editor André Leon Talley and – particularly relevant right now – CBK for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. The wife of John F Kennedy Jr who died in a plane crash in 1999 is sometimes seen as America's answer to Princess Diana. Like Diana, she was loved for her style – dubbed minimalist, chic or 'quiet luxury'. Instagram is full of accounts posting archive images of her, influential brands like The Row, Toteme and Gabriela Hearst design clothes that channel her approach to dressing and there have been books and auctions in recent years. The full extent of the deification became clear this week, when images of actor Sarah Pidgeon as Bessette Kennedy in Ryan Murphy's forthcoming Kennedys Netflix series American Love Story were seen for the first time. In one image on Murphy's Instagram, Pidgeon is pictured wearing a rumpled knee-length brown coat, cropped trousers and black polo neck, with a Birkin bag, and bright blond hair, while on-set images show her in a satin midi skirt, Converse and leathery jacket. There was an immediate reaction online, and it's fair to say fans do not approve. 'This is fashion murder,' wrote one in the comments of the Murphy post. 'Whoever styled cbk needs to be fired,' wrote another. Details seem to particularly irk – from the wrong shade of blond (Bessette Kennedy's hair colourist, Brad Johns, described it as 'too 2024') to the bag. Eagle-eyed observers have noticed it's a Birkin 35, a slight variation from her preferred Birkin 40. Such is the outrage that Murphy, in an interview with the fashion industry newsletter Line Sheet, described the images as a 'work in progress' and clarified that the 'right' items would be swapped in, including that Birkin bag. He admitted that the reaction had taken him by surprise. 'I had no idea that people cared as much as they do, but I guess that's a good thing,' he said. Twenty online experts on Bessette Kennedy's style have been approached to consult on the wardrobe. Murphy, whose work has often taken on real-life figures, from Truman Capote to Joan Crawford, is no stranger to fashion on screen. He made The Assassination of Gianni Versace in 2018 and Halston, about the 70s designer, in 2021. This is the first time, however, one of his productions has taken on a fashion icon that has citizen archivists logging her every look online. This contrast is the issue, argues fashion writer Liana Satenstein. 'I don't know if you can include the painstaking research in a miniseries that has such an element of camp to it,' she argues. 'It would be this bizarre dichotomy.' The legend around Bessette Kennedy's style has reached mythical level in the 26 years since her death. A publicist at Calvin Klein, she began dating Kennedy in 1994. The two became the focus of paparazzi, with photographers snapping Bessette Kennedy on the streets of New York, wearing labels like Calvin Klein (then designed by Narciso Rodriguez), Yohji Yamamoto, Prada and Comme des Garçons, but also staples like jeans, white shirts and polo necks. Fans talk about the way she tailored her jeans, and how she removed labels from designer clothing. In an era where personal style is seen as the ultimate status symbol in fashion, it's these details that have made Bessette Kennedy a lodestar. 'It was 'this is me, this is Carolyn, take it or leave it,'' says Sunita Kumar Nair, the author of CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, a Life in Fashion. Amy Odell, who writes the fashion newsletter Back Row and is working on a biography of Gwyneth Paltrow, says it's in contrast to now. 'Many 'it girls' today have stylists and personal shoppers,' she argues. 'Now, personal style is bought and sold. This was just her taste, how she put herself together every day.' Sign up to Fashion Statement Style, with substance: what's really trending this week, a roundup of the best fashion journalism and your wardrobe dilemmas solved after newsletter promotion Jack Sehnert runs the @carolynbessette Instagram account, which has 63,000 followers. He says the popularity of Bessette Kennedy archive images grew because they were a tonic to the existing aesthetic. 'Instagram was a barrage of logos and colourful glitz up until about five years ago, when her image started popping up again alongside references from the show Succession,' he argues. 'When the term 'quiet luxury' went viral, who could have possibly been a better poster girl? The striking images we all know resonate with an entirely new generation because of their elegant simplicity.' But with close to three decades of interest in her style, it's become a 'get the look' commodity. 'It goes from real woman to paparazzi shot to an image you see on your screen to a flat lay [of clothing items] to the product that you ultimately buy online,' says Daniel Rogers, the fashion news editor at Vogue. Satenstein agrees. 'We've been taking this woman's existence and putting it on a Pinterest board [for a long time],' she says. 'It's a little sad, because I don't think she had a say in it. [It happened to] Jane Birkin [too] but she passed away later in life, and had some agency over herself.' How should Murphy and his team improve Pidgeon's outfits before the show debuts next year? When asked if she will be consulting on the project, Kumar Nair replied 'No comment' but she does say it's 'very smart' to speak to online experts, and suggests also involving those who knew Bessette Kennedy, like Rodriguez, Calvin Klein and her sister, Lisa. 'I would be semi-humble about it and ask them to talk,' she says, adding '[Bessette Kennedy] was a major curation herself. So that's how you would have to approach it.'
