Sources Say Charli XCX and George Daniel Are Having a Party Wedding in Italy This Summer
Charli XCX and her fiance, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, are gearing up to make it official this summer! According to The Sun, the couple are planning to exchange vows in Sicily and are sparing no expense with a "six figure" budget. "Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there," a source says. "It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerizing. Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night." The source adds that "They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day. It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do.' Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife." An insider previously told the outlet back in June that "They've found a venue that they think is perfect for their unique style of wedding, which won't exactly be traditional. The main aim is to have everyone they love come together, and obviously, there are plenty of people who are desperate for an invite." FYI, Charli spoke about her wedding plans to The Howard Stern Show in October of last year, saying (via Just Jared) "We are kind of like planning it slowly. I don't know. It's like, we're both very like chill and we kind of just wanna have a party. It's our vibe. Like neither of us are particularly formal about like marriage, I guess, or care about the formalities of like the ceremony or whatever. We just like wanna be together forever and have a party with our friends, is our vibe. So that's kind of like what we're aiming for wedding wise."

The Couture Challenge—It Was a Face-Off of Extremes on the Streets at the Fall 2025 Shows
Do opposites attract? Couture might be all about glamour and glitz on the runway, but that's not the whole story. Take Pierpaolo Piccioli, who showed up at Demna's final Balenciaga show on the back of a motorcycle in dad sneakers. Or consider Sofia Coppola, who proves that you can in fact wear a pair of simple white jeans to sit front-row at Chanel. But of course couture isn't couture without some opulence, of the kind that Cardi B. delivered at Schiaparelli and Lisa Rinna gave at Balenciaga. Below we've rounded up the extremes of street style at the fall 2025 couture shows in Paris. Round 1: Jeans or Couture? Are you more Sofia C or Cardi B?

Rian Johnson reveals 'nothing really happened' with his scrapped Star Wars trilogy
Rian Johnson has revealed that he didn't get very far with developing his Star Wars trilogy. The Knives Out filmmaker made his Star Wars directing debut with 2017's The Last Jedi, and was rumoured to be working on another trilogy in the sci-fi franchise. Lifting the lid on what happened with the project, Johnson revealed that his talks with Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy didn't progress very far because he became preoccupied with his Knives Out murder-mystery franchise. "Nothing really happened with it," he told Rolling Stone. "We had a great time working together (on The Last Jedi), and they said, 'Let's keep doing it.' I said, 'Great!' I would kick ideas around with Kathy. "The short version is Knives Out happened. I went off and made Knives Out, and was off to the races, busy making murder mysteries." Johnson added that they had a "very conceptual" idea for his trilogy, but there "was never any outline or treatment or anything" because Knives Out came into the picture "fairly quickly after". The director launched his whodunnit franchise, starring Daniel Craig as the detective Benoit Blanc, in 2019 and followed it up with the second chapter, Glass Onion, in 2022. The third film, Wake Up Dead Man, will open the London Film Festival in October. While Johnson intends to keep making Knives Out films, he would be thrilled to work in the Star Wars universe again in the future. "It's the sort of thing if, down the line, there's an opportunity to do it, or do something else in Star Wars, I would be thrilled. But right now I'm just doing my own stuff, and pretty happy," he said.
