All the details on Charli XCX's chic corseted Vivienne Westwood wedding dress - and its striking similarities to another music superstar's bridal gown
She tied the knot with The 1975's George Daniel in a low key ceremony at Hackney Town Hall on Saturday. But the star of the show was Charli XCX's chic Vivienne Westwood mini-dress that she wore for the occasion. Charli was the epitome of style in the Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora dress which boasted an off-the-shoulder design and draped detailing over a cinched corset. The dress also featured a wrap-style high-low skirt to show off the singer's legs, and she paired it with a traditional veil. The gown bore striking similarities to that of another famous singer who wore a full-length version back in May when she tied the knot - Demi Lovato. Demi, 32, tied the knot with singer-songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in Southern California in May. The American star wore a custom pearl white gown featuring a corset waist and draped skirt, one of two Vivienne Westwood dresses she donned for her nuptials. But it's not the first time similarities could be drawn between stars when it comes to Vivienne Westwood wedding dresses. Earlier this year, fans noticed a striking resemblance between Demi's wedding gown and Miley Cyrus's from when she married Liam Hemsworth in 2018. Both appeared to wear the same off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood dress for their nuptials - and Miley even shared the snaps writing 'Twinsies' as she made the comparison. Miley's version featured a similar whimsical neckline, but opted for a bone color rather than the brighter white that Demi wore. Both women looked stunning in their chosen gowns, with fans taking to social media to talk about the similarities - with some pointing out Demi and Miley have famously had an on-again, off-again friendship over the years. 'Demi Lovato wore the same wedding dress as Miley for her wedding omg?' one stunned user posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. 'Demi's dress reminds me of Miley's,'; 'Wow, Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus rocking similar Vivienne Westwood wedding dresses is such a cool Disney Channel throwback!'; 'What do you mean Demi has worn an almost if not identical Vivienne Westwood wedding dress to Miley's in 2018,'; Others defended Demi, pointing out it's one of the late British designer's famous silhouettes and is loved by brides worldwide. They said: 'Demi and Miley are both grown women and we are not little girls arguing in middle school. We don't care if Miley wore the dress first. They look stunning,'; 'The same designer with the same signature styling. Demi did it before, keeps choosing this all the time if you ever seen the things they wear,'; 'Demi's only copying herself. And I can't believe we're talking about dresses, like there's not wedding dresses that look similar.' Demi told Vogue she has been a fan Vivienne Westwood's designs for a 'long time.' 'I love everything about the dress,' she told the publication. Miley and Demi both shot to fame as teens on the Disney Channel but had a fraught relationship at times. The duo have candidly spoken about their on-off friendship through the years. They appeared to have rekindled their relationship in 2020 during an Instagram Live chat as apart of an afternoon talk show on Miley's Instagram, called Bright Minded: Live With Miley. 'Life is moving so fast that it's usually hard to slow ourselves down and appreciate people in our lives, and you've been that person for me for so many years and we've been friends for so long,' Miley told Demi at the time as per People. She added: 'We can not talk forever and then some bulls**t will go down, and I'll just know you're the person I want to reach out to. In dark times, it's really important to reach towards those who are illuminated. I just think that you're such a light — even if it took this crisis to get us connected again.' Miley and Liam had been dating on and off since 2010, when they met on the set of the Nicholas Sparks adaptation The Last Song. They were initially engaged in June 2012, but they called it off in September 2013, before rumours stemmed in January 2016 the engagement was back on. Miley confirmed they were engaged during an October 2016 appearance on the Ellen show, and they were married on December 23, 2018 at their home in Franklin, Tennessee. She was married to Liam for eight months, with the pair filing for divorce in August 2019.

Local gal Zoe Tan hits the right notes in New York
Zoe Tan expresses how she truly feels through her songs. (Andrea Rhiannon Edmonds @ FMT Lifestyle) PETALING JAYA : Like many seven-year-old girls, Zoe Tan was hooked on Disney Channel's Hannah Montana. She dreamed of standing on stage, belting out bangers, and winning hearts – just like her pop idol. 'I remember standing up on the sofa, pretending to sing like her, and realising this is something that I really wanted to do one day,' Tan shared with FMT Lifestyle. 'But I just didn't have the confidence that I would be performing my own songs.' Today the 24-year-old from Petaling Jaya, who is completing her degree in recorded music at New York University, is a budding singer-songwriter in the American city, with the singles 'Distance' and 'Walk Out The Door' already under her belt. 'I've had a hard time communicating how I feel straight up in person sometimes. But when I'm songwriting, it's the total opposite. I'm completely fearless and I have so much courage within myself,' Tan mentioned. The second of three siblings described her sound as 'cinematic folk music', a genre she's carving out with her own flair in the Big Apple. Tan is slowly establishing herself as a self-made singer-songwriter in New York. (Izzul Ahiaks) 'I wouldn't be where I am without growing up in Malaysia. That's where I found my voice,' she said, naming Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, and Ed Sheeran as key influences. 'What I bring to New York is my community and culture. My music is about creating connections through shared emotion.' Back in Kuala Lumpur for a short break, Tan is set to perform at Jao Tim on July 11. She'll also be releasing her debut EP next month, titled 'I Will Never Go Back to the Way Things Were Before'. 'Cinematic folk music is music that you can see, hear, touch, and feel with every fibre of your being. There's a certain perception of folk music that we have in mainstream media that I want to alter,' Tan explained. 'I want to bring elements from pop, soul, and R&B into my music … it's about capturing that feeling in the same way a movie does.' Tan hopes to tour the world with her brand of cinematic folk music someday. (Andrea Rhiannon Edmonds @ FMT Lifestyle) But music wasn't always centre stage. Tan once danced to a different beat – literally. Ballet, tap, modern dance, and figure skating filled her early years, thanks to her parents' encouragement. 'My school was putting up a Little Red Riding Hood musical and that's how I was introduced to musical theatre. I was so enamoured by the idea of music and performing. Of course, after trying out I realised I didn't like it and I went back to figure skating.' As fate would have it, music found its way into Tan's life through Ed Sheeran. She remembered falling in love with Sheeran's ability to 'tell stories that wasn't like a stage performance … he was just a guy with a guitar and I wanted to do something similar'. Her first song that really hit the right note? 'I'm At A Party And I Don't Want To Be Here' – an anthem about social anxiety. 'I was so proud of how I captured everything I was feeling. My parents loved it, too. It meant a lot because songwriting comes from such a personal place,' she added. Tan was inspired to stand on stage and sing just like her inspiration, TV's 'Hannah Montana'. (Hellen Madeitt pic) She recalled her very first public performance in New York at Pink Frog Cafe 'being scary' as it was away from the safety of her university. But soon, Tan found her voice through the kindness and support of the public. A high note in her journey so far? Performing at The Bitter End, a legendary music venue in Greenwich Village. 'Singers like Joni Mitchell and Taylor Swift have performed here. I remembered genuinely feeling the magic and the energy of all the artistes who have performed there before when I was up on stage. It was just a powerful feeling. It reaffirmed what I was doing,' Tan recounted. Ultimately, Tan hopes her music makes Malaysia proud – and one day, she dreams of taking it on tour around the world. 'I'm not in this dream for the money. It's just the feeling that it brings me every time that I do it. My ultimate dream is to just be able to live off of what I do comfortably, and to be able to share that and to grow my community,' Tan concluded. Follow Zoe Tan on Instagram.

Scooter Braun Shares His Opinion on Justin Bieber's ‘Swag'
Scooter Braun's review of Justin Bieber's Swag is in. The surprise album that dropped Friday (July 11) is the pop star's most genuine work to date, says Bieber's former longtime manager — who noted he's been watching the singer's growth as an artist for nearly 20 years. Bieber parted ways with Braun in 2024. That June, Braun announced he was retiring from music management after a two-decade run that had him overseeing clients including Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more. More from Billboard Justin Bieber's 'Swag': All 21 Tracks Ranked Oasis Storm Back to U.K. No. 1 Following Reunion Tour Boost Watch Justin Bieber Have a 'Sweet Spot' Dance Party With Sexyy Red in New Video 'Been having a beautiful start to the weekend and been getting a lot of texts about how I feel about Justin's new album,' Braun wrote in an Instagram Story on Saturday, the day after Swag's release. 'So I will just leave this here.. This is without a doubt, the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It's beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters.' Braun continued, 'I've had the privilege of witnessing his growth for almost two decades. Along every journey, there comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that's what he's done here. He's poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run.' 'The way he chose to release it is just as intentional as the music itself — and I'm happy to see him do it this way. I have played no roll in this one, but as someone who's always believed in him, I'm incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoying the music,' he said. Braun highlighted 'Daisies' as his favorite song on Swag, citing Bieber's 'best in the world,' 'special tone.' 'Stream Swag and support an authentic voice,' wrote Braun. Swag, a collection of 21 tracks, is Bieber's seventh studio album. It's his first since 2021's Justice, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and his first full-length record since becoming a parent. In an interview with The Diary of a CEO last month, Braun admitted that his present-day relationship with Bieber is 'not the same that it was.' Said Braun, 'I think there comes a point where — I understand — he probably wants to go on and show that he can do it. We worked together for so long and we had such extreme success, and I think you get to a point as a man where you want to show the world you can do it on your own. And I completely respect that. I think at this point, that's what he's doing. Myself and everyone from the old team is rooting for him.'
