Is Instagram the New Celebrity Dating App?
As the official start to summer approaches, many singles are on the hunt for a romantic partner to spend the season with. Some may be on the prowl at parties or swiping through dating apps, others may be shooting their shot on Instagram. For celebrities in particular, Instagram has become an unexpectedly successful matchmaker, with a growing number of high-profile couples crediting their love stories to private messages sent on the app. In December 2022, the country singer Kelsea Ballerini sent a direct message on Instagram to the actor Chase Stokes at 1:07 a.m.: 'hiii chase stokes.' A little over two hours later, the actor responded, 'Hey there how u doin.' They've been in a relationship for more than two years. Kyle Kuzma, the stylish N.B.A. player, sent the model Winnie Harlow a message on Instagram in 2019 and reached out again in spring 2020. She hadn't seen his first message, but she saw the second and replied. In December, they became engaged. The actress Vanessa Hudgens sent a message to Cole Tucker, a former baseball player, after spotting him in a virtual meditation session led by Jay Shetty. 'I get on the Zoom, and I'm like, 'Who is that?'' she shared on 'The Drew Barrymore Show.' 'If I want something or someone, I'm going after them. I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, 'Hey, it was nice to meet you.'' They married in November 2023. Natalie Joy DM'd the former 'Bachelor' Nick Viall in September 2019, after one of Mr. Viall's Instagram photos popped up on Ms. Joy's Explore page: 'You're unreal,' she wrote. In April 2024, they married. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Vanessa Hudgens's Former L.A. Home Just Hit the Market for $4.4 Million
Six years ago, Vanessa Hudgens sold a custom-built home in Los Angeles for nearly $3.2 million after just two months on the market, albeit for 20 percent less than her original $3.9 million asking price. Now the actress, singer, and entrepreneur's former pad in the San Fernando Valley community of Studio City has returned to the market, this time for a speck under $4.4 million. Michael J. Okun in the Sherman Oaks office of Sotheby's International Realty holds the listing. The High School Musical alum acquired the Mediterranean-inspired spread in 2008 shortly after it was built for $2.75 million when she was only 19 years old and lived there until 2019. Sited on a hillside parcel in the Wrightwood Estates neighborhood, the multi-level white stucco and terracotta-roof dwelling sits atop a street-level three-car garage and features five bedrooms and seven baths in roughly 5,300 square feet laced with Moorish and Moroccan touches.

‘This celeb-favourite skin tint feels so lightweight and gives a gorgeous glow'
This popular skin tint, contains SPF, is a make-up product loved by celebrities and beauty editors alike. Here's why I've been won over by it... I've been sampling a variety of skin tints recently, in an attempt to discover the ideal lightweight face base for my skin this summer, and I believe I may have found it with this popular hydrating formula. Skin tints are typically more fluid and offer slightly more coverage than tinted moisturisers, with the pigments suspended in a watery or gel-like solution rather than a creamy one. As a result, they feel incredibly lightweight on the skin – as if you're not wearing any make-up at all – and can be better suited to combination or oily skin types, who might find tinted moisturisers a bit too hydrating. The most recent skin tint I've tested is Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30, priced at £42, a make-up product worn and adored by celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow. With a host of skincare ingredients and a mineral SPF of 30, it promises to deliver a dewy, naturally even complexion while also hydrating and strengthening the skin. Here's why I've been wowed by it... Like many skin tints, Ilia's Super Serum is a breeze to apply, blending well with either fingers or a make-up brush (it's fluid enough that you can even do the influencer trick of dripping it straight onto your face, if you wish). I have the shade Tulum, which is perhaps one shade too light for my slightly tanned summer skin, but will be perfect in winter, reports OK!. The coverage is so light though that the 30 shades are very flexible, so you can't really go too wrong. I was instantly smitten with the final result: my skin appeared glowing and dewy, with blemishes subtly concealed, yet everything still looked incredibly natural. My skin felt wonderful too: plump, hydrated and smooth. This skin tint certainly felt more akin to skincare than make-up. Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30 £42 Ilia Find your shade here Product Description View Pros and Cons For me, the real test would be later in the day. The main issue I usually encounter with skin tints is that they become patchy on my face after a few hours, once the 'water' component of the product has absorbed or evaporated. However, this wasn't the case with the Ilia one. While it didn't maintain the exact fresh and dewy look as when first applied, it never once appeared patchy – a definite victory in my book. While I'll likely still opt for my favourite foundation for a flawless finish, or this superb tinted moisturiser for very sheer coverage, Ilia's Super Serum has now become my go-to skin tint for lightweight, everyday make-up that delivers a radiant complexion and easy application. It's worth noting that while this product does contain SPF, you're probably unlikely to apply enough of it to your face to achieve the recommended levels of sun protection. Therefore, I always suggest applying a dedicated SPF product first, before your make-up.
