Custom Chuck Taylors Go 'brat' Mode in Charli XCX's Converse Collab
Summary Charli XCXis keepingbratSummer alive with a newConversecollab that puts full creative control in the hands of her fans — or as she calls them,Charli's Angels. Titled the CustomChuck Taylor All StarCharli XCX By You, the unisex high-top is part of Converse's 'By You' customization platform, offering fans a limited three-day window to design their own pair, infused with the chaos and charm of the Brat era. Instead of a static, pre-built design, this release centers on personalization. Fans can choose from five curated base colors — 'Black,' 'White,' 'Brown Rice,' 'Winter Sky,' and Bridal Rose — but as with most things Charli, it's the details that take center stage. Each pair comes with trompe-l'œil distressing: printed rips, faded discoloration, and laces washed out just enough to look like they've lived a few lives on tour. The vibe is worn-in, emotionally charged, and unmistakably bratty. Customization goes deeper with heel license plates and interchangeable patches, nodding to fan-favorite themes and lyrics like 'XCX,' '365,' 'Angel,' and 'Party Girl.' For those who know where to look, outsole graphic options offer the choice betweenbrator Party Girl prints — hidden touches that reward the in-the-know. A pair of lock-and-key heel charms, etched with 'Brat,' references herPop 2cult classic 'Unlock It,' while lime-green insoles deliver a final hit of Charli's signature color story — subtle but unmistakable. The result is a sneaker that feels as complex and curated as Charli herself — punk in attitude, pop in silhouette. It's the perfect physical extension of Brat: messy but intentional, tough but romantic, vulnerable yet completely in control. Available for just three days, the release offers fans a rare chance to create a piece of the Brat world. The pair will drop exclusively via the officialConverse websiteon August 5 at 10 a.m., priced at $100 USD. Get a sneak peek at her campaign visuals below.

Inside Charli XCX's wild wedding party with cheap cocktails and trays of cigarettes
Charli XCX is going all out for her Sicilian wedding later this year, but she kept her first wedding to The 1975 drummer George Daniel far more Brat. Insiders told The Sun that the pair headed from Hackney Town Hall in London where they tied the knot, to nearby Italian restaurant Dalla, before inviting their 20 guests to join them for a massive night out at trendy new bar Ellie's in Dalston. And to get into the party mood, Charli swapped out of her $6,800 Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora mini dress into another white outfit – just in case she spilt a $16 martini down it. 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,' a source revealed. 'Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. '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 Daniel then went to a nearby hotel to get changed before they went to Ellie's for a party.' Hip haunt Ellie's, which opened back in May, is fast making a name for itself as one of east London's trendiest haunts. It specialises in cheap martinis and saw Myles Smith shooting his GQ Magazine cover there earlier this year. Charli and George arrived hand-in-hand to get the party started, with more guests arriving at the door as the night went on. 'To get in you just had to walk up to the front and say 'Charli,'' the marital mole explained. '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.' The Sun first revealed back in 2023 that drummer George had proposed to Charli. In February last year, our sources revealed the pair had flown to Italy to scout out locations for their big day – and earlier this month one insider told us the pair had plumped for Sicily. Second ceremony The Sun reports that Charlie and George will fly out later this year for an epic celebration with their family and friends. 'This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months,' a source explained. 'Charli and George had the most perfect day in London. It was everything they wanted it to be, relaxed, informal and fun. 'Their wedding in Sicily is the big one and they can't wait for everyone to fly out there and be with them.' Charli opened up about their wedding plans last year and said they were going to throw a massive bash. She said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'

Why, Yes, Charli XCX and George Daniel's Wedding Served Guests Cigarettes on Silver Platters
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. XCX, AKA Charli XCX and George Daniel! The couple officially said 'I do' with an intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, and it was just as chic as you'd expect. The 1975 donned a classic charcoal Armani suit while the Brat hitmaker wore a draped ivory satin corseted mini dress from Vivienne Westwood paired with Jimmy Choo slingback heels. Of course, she threw on her signature oversized shades for the post-wedding festivities, too, and captured the moment with a series of TikToks. 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,' Charli captioned the first video, which was set to her 'girl, so confusing' remix with Lorde. In another clip, she shared behind-the-scenes vibes with her wedding party, including photographer Aidan Zamiri and Mr. XCX himself. She wore a chic off-the-shoulder white mini dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello as the group exuded 'bridal party energy' and danced to Far East Movement's 2010 club classic, 'Like a G6.' George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann were reportedly in attendance for the wedding, whereas The 1975's frontman, Matty Healy, had to skip out on the festivities to attend the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars his fiancée and Charli's '360' muse, Gabbriette Bechtel. While their nuptials remained pretty low-key, Charli and George's after-party brought on the brat-titude. According to The Sun, the reception took place at Italian restaurant Dalla before attendees made their way to Ellie's bar in Dalston. 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,' an insider told the outlet. 'Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. 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.' And, according to Instagram Stories posted by DJ Alex Chapman, the couple served skinny cigarettes on silver platters for their guests: Charli revealed that she and George had the idea in mind during a 2024 appearance on the Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain podcast. 'It's so fun,' she said of the wedding planning process, which she admitted made her and her now-husband 'crazy.' 'We're like, 'We're going to have this really epic, like, cigarette station!' and we're going to have people walking around with, like, silver trays of cigarettes,' she jokingly explained. If ^^^ all of this is any indicator, Charli made a point when she said everything is romantic.

'Luckily he did,' she wrote in her caption. The British pop star and producer had an intimate wedding ceremony on Saturday, reportedly exchanging vows in front of about 20 guests. According to TMZ, all of Daniel's 1975 bandmates were present, except for frontman Matty Healy. The big day came about three years after Charli and Daniel first started dating. The couple got engaged in July 2023, something the singer announced on Instagram by showing off her ring and writing, 'charli xcx and george daniel f–king for life!!!' The event also punctuates a major year of career success for Charli, whose 2024 album Brat reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, her highest placement on the chart to date. Brat also netted three Grammys for the pop star. Just a few weeks prior to their wedding, both the bride and groom performed at Glastonbury 2025, with Charli commanding The Other Stage solo and Daniel joining the rest of The 1975 for a headlining set.
