Here's why Matty Healy wasn't at Charli XCX's wedding
Congratulations are in order: this weekend, Brat superstar Charli XCX tied the knot with her boyfriend, George Daniel, at a ceremony in Hackney Town Hall. In style, of course. Charli wore a Vivienne Westwood dress and her signature wraparound black shades, seemingly confirming the news via a TikTok video where she joked that George shed a tear when he saw her walking down the aisle. It was a relatively low-key affair involving what looked to be close friends and family – but still, onlookers were surprised to see that one person in particular didn't seem to be there. That would be Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975: the band that Daniel is the drummer for. The pair's friendship stretches back decades: they've been part of the same band for almost twenty years, spending much of that time either writing or touring together. As it turns out, Healy was in LA, attending a screening for the film I Know What You Did Last Summer – which his fiancee, Gabbriette Bechtel (a model and actor, whom Healy has been dating since September 2023) appears in. It looks like there was a scheduling clash with the wedding – though this is all speculation, and hasn't yet been confirmed by any of the parties involved. However, he wasn't totally absent from the festivities: according to The Sun, Healy was at Daniel's stag do earlier this week. That took place in Ibiza, and Healy reportedly flew out on Tuesday 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do,' a source reportedly told the Sun. 'He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals – including his bandmates – and party girl Charli was all for it.' Apparently, after their more low-key nuptials, the pair are planning to tie the knot again in spectacular fashion in Sicily later this year. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever,' Charli told Harper's Bazaar after the pair announced their engagement in November 2023. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'

Victoria Beckham says David's hair 'looks terrible' after DIY buzzcut goes wrong and leaves bald patch
If you're anything like us, you srsly back Victoria Beckham. The one-time Spice Girl and current reigning fashion mogul is known for being, well, faultlessly chic. And while she's best known as a style icon, she's also got some serious stakes in the beauty world. Alongside her luxury fashion brand, she runs her own beauty line called (what else?) Victoria Beckham Beauty. And when you look back at her hair transformations over the years, you begin to understand that she is responsible for some of the most major hair trends from recent memory: from chunky highlights and a blonde pixie in the aughts, to a sleek 'pob' in the 2020s. So, basically, we trust her opinion on all things hair, style and beauty. Which is why we're particularly intrigued about a recent IG post of hers, where she weighs in on a hair mishap suffered by her hubbie David Beckham. In a video captioned "Dad what have you done?!?!😂😂 @davidbeckham", Victoria provided followers with some unique insight into the Beckham household. The video opens with David clutching his head, looking particularly sheepish, and blocking his DIY haircutting handiwork from view. "What have you done?" asks Victoria off-camera, as she stumbles upon the scene. "The head of the clippers fell off my head," David replies, still covering his head with one hand. Not taking no for an answer, Victoria is keen to get to the bottom of what's happened saying: "You were trying to give yourself a haircut, what have you done? Let me see..." David then raises his hand, putting his uneven buzz cut, and subsequent bald patch, on full display. Able to judge the hairstyle now it's properly in view, Victoria shares her prognosis. "It does not look good," she weighs in. "I'm going to always be honest with you - it looks terrible." Even in times of hair catastrophe, Victoria and David have soooo much chemistry that it gives us hope that we'll find true, lasting love (once we get over our last situationship, that is).

Rihanna Pairs Three of Summer's Hottest Trends With a Rare LV Bag of the Moment
The bag in question is a Marc Jacobs-era Louis Vuitton Alma Graffiti bag. A Tippex-white and black beacon of style history, the graffiti-emblazoned version of the house's signature ladylike Alma bag (first created in 1934) was made in collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse in 2001, and marked a major early noughties moment that subverted fashion's penchant for logos. It's been in the Rih archive from at least 2024, when she was last spotted with it, and remains one of the true original it-bags. Rih, as always, sensed the style's renaissance: Just in the last few weeks, Tyla and Mariah the Scientist have been spotted with a Sprouse-stamped LV bag. A longtime devotee to the LV bag, Rihanna is a cross-generational and style-agnostic collector. In the archive? A Crocodile Speedy bag, the Nano Speedy bag, the Alma Long Bag, the Takashi Murakami for LV Speedy 30 (circa spring 2003), a Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Twisted Monogram bag, a Dalmatian-print Sac bag from 2003, and a Stephen Sprouse Pochette from 2001. (Andddd breathe). In true Rih fashion as an early adopter, she's been seen adding a Labubu keychain (AKA fashion's favorite little monster accessory) to her Speedy. The Smurfs actor, of course, has a love for ultra-rare vintage bags that expands far beyond LV. In recent times, she's been spotted with the iconic Chanel Twin Bag from the 1990s, handbags from across Tom Ford's Gucci oeuvre, classic Dior Saddles, and a 1990s-era Fendi Zucca mini bag with a furry tail charm sourced from her go-to vintage dealers, Archive Vintage. Rihanna's summer style notes read as follows: Easy and breezy, trend agnostic, archival.
