Why Zendaya and Tom Holland Haven't Started Wedding Planning Yet
At the 2025 Golden Globes, Zendaya revealed her engagement to Tom Holland, flashing her east-west diamond ring. In the months since, neither she nor Holland has said anything about their wedding plans, but sources and Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, have.
On July 17, 2025, Roach told E! that Zendaya hasn't begun planning yet for good reason. 'Zendaya is working on so many movies,' he said on the red carpet of the Las Culturistas Culture Awards. 'She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.'
In May 2025, Roach made the same point, telling Complex that the wedding isn't happening in the near future. 'Zendaya is working on six movies; she has like six movies coming out,' he said. 'I'm thinking about the press tours!' He also revealed Zendaya and Holland are 'trying to be as private as possible' when it comes to their relationship and big day.
Shortly after the actors' engagement was confirmed in January, a source told People that 'they will just enjoy things for now and won't rush a wedding. They are both busy with work projects.'
Zendaya and Holland have been a very private couple throughout their years of dating. In summer 2023, Zendaya spoke to ELLE about how she balances being a public-facing star with protecting her relationship with Holland.
'Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public,' she said. 'I can't not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It's about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can't hide. That's not fun, either. I am navigating it more than ever now.'
Here, all we know about the pair's upcoming nuptials so far.
The couple has been busy with work, Roach told E! at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards' red carpet on July 17. 'The process hasn't even started yet,' he said. 'Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune [Part Three in Hungary], so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time.'
In April, Zendaya's stylist and creative director told E! that 'of course,' he'll be involved in dressing Zendaya for the wedding. But Roach cautioned the nuptials were 'far away. They're both doing a bunch of movies this year, and there's a lot of premieres next year so you'll see a lot of red carpets. I'm resting up for 2026.'
A month later, Roach reiterated that 'no,' he is not working on Zendaya's wedding dress in an interview with Complex. 'Zendaya is working on six movies; she has like six movies coming out. I'm thinking about the press tours!'
Roach told Complex that Zendaya's wedding dress will likely be one 'nobody will ever see.'
He added, 'She and Tom are super private about their relationship. They're trying to be as private as possible. There won't be a Vogue spread or there won't be pictures of the wedding and the people who she will invite will be really respectful of their privacy, so it will be a really beautiful dress that no one gets to see.'
During a July 2025 interview with E!, the stylist doubled down on this, saying that Zendaya will be 'a secret bride.'
While their wedding date is not imminent, the couple is ready for the next stage of their relationship. The Spider-Man actor popped the question over the 2024 holidays in part because he is interested in starting a family with the actress and doing so 'relatively young,' a source told Us Weekly on January 11.
'Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down,' the insider detailed. 'They had many conversations over the years, but there was never any pressure. Zendaya is giddy and excited. She knew it might have been coming but never put pressure on it.'

How Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise's ‘Working Relationship' Turned to ‘Flirty Attraction'
THE RUNDOWN Rumors that Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas might be dating swirled for months after they were seen together in London and then on a yacht off the coast of Spain. Sources maintained that the pair were simply working on various projects together, but at the end of July they were photographed holding hands. A source speaking to Entertainment Tonight this week says that there was truth to the story that Cruise and de Armas shared a 'working relationship,' however 'their connection grew stronger.' 'Over time, it became clear that what they have goes beyond just friendship or a working relationship,' the source explained, saying they were working on projects together, especially the upcoming thriller, Deeper. Spending time together led to something more. 'Tom thinks she's incredibly smart and beautiful. Ana has always enjoyed their time together and the flirty attraction between them,' the insider added. Other sources have hinted at a deepening relationship leading up to their hand holding reveal. On May 14, a source told Us Weekly that Cruise was 'super smitten' with de Armas and had 'developed' feelings for her. 'They've gone out on some dates, and it's very low-key,' the source claimed. 'It's in the early stages, and he's been courting her.' A source told People on July 18 that de Armas was single, though it had been rumored that she was dating Manuel Anido Cuesta, the stepson of Cuba's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez. That same day, another insider described de Armas's connection with Cruise. '[They] have a special work relationship,' the source said. 'Tom is crazy hardworking, and she's very excited to work with him. She calls it an opportunity of a lifetime.' The source added that as she has been preparing for Deeper, Cruise has been 'an incredible mentor to Ana. She has nothing but amazing things to say about him.'

How Botox went middle-class
Terry Dubrow has been slacking on his Botox. 'I'm between seasons of my TV show, so I will go, 'Meh, I'm not going to go have Botox, I don't care,'' the Southern California plastic surgeon and star of 'Botched' on E! said over Zoom. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Recently, however, he has been promoting a new reality spin-off and feeling pressure to look - as they say in the business of facial aesthetics - refreshed. 'I was doing some interviews and going, 'Jeez, people are going to think Terry Dubrow is just letting himself go.' I need to go get Botox, minimum.' Dubrow, who is married to the 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Heather Dubrow, still remembers a time when talking about Botox was 'verboten': 'Nobody would admit to [using] it.' But that moment has disappeared like a stubborn facial line under a good injector's needle. 'Botox is so ubiquitous,' Dubrow said. 'It's almost like, if you look older, if you don't do Botox, what does that say about you?' 'It's not even about vanity anymore,' he added. 'It's like having agency over aging in a weird way.' Botox has gone from a niche beauty treatment to a blockbuster phenomenon. With medical spas and Botox bars proliferating from city to city, a procedure that was once performed only on the doyennes of the 1 percent, in the secrecy of a plastic surgeon's office, is now accessible to anyone with a few hundred dollars and a dream of line-free skin. 'It's just become something that people do, just like they get a manicure,' said sociologist Dana Berkowitz, who is the author of 'Botox Nation: Changing the Face of America.' 'Obviously it's a little more intrusive or invasive, but it's become so normalized and just so casual ... it's just a routine.' The stats bear this out. A 2024 report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that U.S. injectors performed more than 9.8 million procedures using neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau and Daxxify) that year, up 4 percent over 2023, which the organization had dubbed 'the year of Botox.' Compare that with the pre-covid 2019 report, which shows roughly 5 million neuromodulator injections in the U.S. - in five years, demand has almost doubled. 'It's now so normal in American culture that patients mention it as casually as running an errand to the store or post office,' the 2023 report noted, confirming that Botox has become a catchall word for an entire category of products, like Kleenex or Xerox. It wasn't always like this. Berkowitz attributes this current moment to 'the rise of medical spas, the very aggressive marketing from Allergan [Botox's Big Pharma manufacturer], this circulating discourse that Botox is preventative and that seduces younger and younger users.' Now, more and more women - and yes, the 2024 ASPS report states that 94 percent of patients are women, even still - see Botox as a regular part of their overall aesthetic maintenance, like bikini waxes or balayage. 'It's really changed the way we think about how we quote, unquote, treat the appearance of aging on the face,' Berkowitz said. - - - Like practically any beauty trend of the 21st century, you can't talk about Botox without bringing up celebrities. Celebrities are what sculptures probably were to the ancient Greeks: uncannily, gorgeously smooth. Glossy. Lineless. Until recently, an A-lister would never admit to meddling with her looks, maintaining the illusion of her natural aesthetic superiority. But somehow, Botox has crept into the cultural lexicon enough that even the most venerated among us are copping to it. In an interview with Allure magazine in 2022, Kim Kardashian - who, along with her sisters, is often credited-slash-blamed for the rise of plastic-surgery-coded 'Instagram face' - nevertheless insisted that the only invasive treatment she had on her face was 'a little bit of Botox.' It's the same with Lindsay Lohan, who has been the subject of a rolling tide of plastic surgery rumors since she stepped out looking remarkably youthful for the 'Our Little Secret' movie press tour in late 2024. This past May, Lohan did an interview with Elle magazine in which she attributed her flawless complexion to skin care, juicing and pickled beets. Oh, and Botox. 'Everyone does Botox,' said Lohan, who turned 39 this month. There was a time, not too long ago, when accusing a celebrity of using Botox was like calling them out for something sinister. In 2011, a then-25-year-old Megan Fox uploaded a carousel of selfies to her Facebook page in which she grimaced and furrowed, showing off her forehead lines for the camera. It was a response to rumors that the actress had succumbed to the lure of the needle. Fox called the gallery 'Things you can't do with your face when you have Botox.' Flash-forward to March 2024, when Fox sat across from 'Call Her Daddy' host Alex Cooper and broke down her list of cosmetic enhancements, which include multiple breast augmentations, a rhinoplasty, Botox and filler. What happened in between? - - - Most actresses and influencers aren't as forthcoming as Fox - even with a sudden spate of honesty from the Kardashian-Jenners, the Lohan model of deflection still reigns. But Dana Omari says that the reason these women are 'fessing up to Botox is because, 'Now, celebrities can't rely on our total ignorance and so they have to give a little bit of something.' She's referring to wider awareness of the menu of cosmetic treatments, which is thanks in part to social media content like hers. Omari, who has more than 250,000 followers on Instagram, started her account in early 2019 and posts side-by-side photos of celebrities, breaking down the work she thinks they've had done, often wielding the word 'allegedly' to comedic effect. The dietitian and former consultation manager at a medical spa said that notable women - among them the 'Today' show's Jill Martin, dancer Allison Holker and actress Allison Williams - have picked up on the fact that sharing details from their dermatological diaries isn't a liability anymore. 'I think that they are kind of realizing that this makes them more relatable,' Omari explained. 'And Botox is a really safe one [to admit to] because it's not permanent, it's just a little quick injectable, you know?' Reality television has paved the way for this era, from a burgers-and-Botox-themed open house on a 2020 episode of 'Selling Sunset' to the cast of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' getting Botox (and, controversially, laughing gas) together in the first season, which aired in 2024. 'It's no longer taboo,' Omari said definitively. 'Botox is no longer the thing that people are afraid to talk about. It's more ubiquitous.' The stars of reality shows, from Heidi Montag to Bre Tiesi, have also adjusted our collective eyeballs to the vision of an unmoving face. A 2006 episode of 'The Real Housewives of Orange County,' in which a then-43-year-old Vicki Gunvalson gets Botox for the first time - in her kitchen, while yelling, 'I don't like this' - might as well be a historical newsreel, for how distant that world seems. Case in point: Omari said that in the six years her page has been up and running, she has posted multiple photos suggesting that Taylor Swift may have had subtle work done, including Botox. The first time, her followers were enraged. 'My page was in shambles, it was being reported, it was a miserable day,' she said. Nobody wanted to believe that Swift, 'the girl next door,' would answer the siren call of the syringe, Omari explained: 'The girl next door does not get Botox.' But now that the procedure is so much more mainstream, the response is different. 'I posted her more recently, and while I did get some negative comments, a lot were like, 'Yeah, she's 34, 35,'' Omari said. - - - Botox, which is a purified form of the deadly bacteria Clostridium botulinum, was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration for cosmetic use in 2002. For all of the ways we've acclimated to widespread Botox use, it's easy to forget that it carries risks, including iatrogenic botulism, which is when the toxin spreads beyond the injection site - a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. Like so many paradigm-shifting drugs, Botox was developed to address health concerns; in this case, excessive blinking and strabismus, or crossed eyes. It was approved by the FDA for these ophthalmologic conditions in 1989. Its ability to all but erase wrinkles was a happy discovery, and by the 1990s upscale dermatologists and plastic surgeons were offering off-label Botox services. 'I started my private practice in 1998, and that's pretty much when I started [providing] Botox,' said Doris Day, a dermatologist on New York's Upper East Side with a 270,000-strong Instagram following. 'And in the beginning - we still laugh about it with my patients - I would be so nervous [injecting it]. … I wasn't worried about hurting anyone in terms of their health, but I didn't want to cause a brow droop or other side effects.' Day describes neuromodulators as 'tools to help people age in a youthful, healthy way.' Nonetheless, she disagrees with some of the marketing and the wider discourse surrounding the drug. 'These [pharmaceutical] companies … they train people to start hating their lines,' she said. This causes customers to seek out bargain Botox or, worse, engage in dangerous TikTok trends like 'Backyard Botox.' 'I think it has become so commoditized,' Day continued. 'Every corner salon and med spa and even hair salons are offering it … and then it becomes a race to the bottom in terms of pricing.' And when you go to inexperienced injectors, you get what you pay for, Day warned: 'It's like going to fast-food takeout. You're not going to get the quality.' Carolyn Treasure, who co-founded the New York City-based Botox bar Peachy in 2019, wants to democratize neuromodulators - without compromising on results. 'Botox, or neuromodulators, are getting taken out of the cosmetic bucket and getting integrated into the skin care bucket,' Treasure said. To make the drug more accessible, Peachy - which also has locations in Austin, Chicago and D.C. - offers a flat-rate price of $425 for unlimited units of Xeomin or Jeuveau (brand-name Botox costs $150 more). 'I really wanted to eliminate any perceived trust gap,' Treasure said of the decision to charge customers this way. 'Meaning what Peachy … is recommending to you is absolutely in your best interest based off of your goals, your anatomy, etc.' Treasure credits the 'Zoom boom' for the company's success, as well as Gen Z's openness to - as well as about - aesthetic intervention. 'I feel like Gen Z's take on it is: 'It's your body, do what you want, but just be honest about it. Don't be disingenuous,'' she said. But according to Berkowitz, no amount of honesty or even expanded accessibility can change the fact that the heyday of cosmetic Botox speaks to the underlying, and stubbornly persistent problem, of social inequality. 'If you look at it through that lens, then the story is not a happy one,' said Berkowitz, the 'Botox Nation' author. When wrinkles have become increasingly optional for customers who have the means to eradicate them, 'You wear your social class on your face.' Like the vast majority of beauty standards, it's affluent women who feel most compelled to conform, vs. the relative freedom of their male counterparts. 'The irony is that it's privileged women who feel the weight of their aging bodies most,' Berkowitz said of the pressure to look younger. Berkowitz doesn't judge anyone who avails themselves of Botox, even when studies show that neuromodulators can dampen emotional responses in users, and that expressive faces are actually more likable. 'Women are supposed to look like effortless perfection,' Berkowitz said of the cultural messaging that has led us here. 'I don't want to blame an individual woman for doing what she's been told to do since birth, basically.'

Kristin Davis reveals ‘Melrose Place' co-star wouldn't speak to her on set during filming
Kristin Davis revealed that one of her 'Melrose Place' co-stars gave her the cold shoulder during the time they worked together on the hit '90s prime-time soap drama. During a recent appearance on 'Hey Dude… The '90s Called!' podcast, the 60-year-old actress recalled that she 'felt like I won the lottery' when she landed the role of the villainous Brooke Armstrong in the third season of 'Melrose Place' from 1995 to 1996. However, the 'Sex and the City' star told hosts Christine Taylor and David Lascher 'there was never a moment of feeling confident' on the set of the Aaron Spelling-created series, and one cast member in particular was not very friendly to her. 'There were just so many, so many people [on set],' Davis said. 'And I felt and I have obviously seen all these people since then, and so many of them are so lovely. But at the time … it was competitive.' 'I had my friends within, like Marcia Cross and I were were close, which was wonderful,' she continued. 'But there was one, you know, she wouldn't speak to me. Like, she wouldn't speak to me. 'I never had scenes with her, so it wasn't an issue. But I say, like, 'Good morning,' [and she wouldn't respond].' Taylor noted she also had similar experiences with co-stars, especially during that 'period of time' in which she recalled actors were wary of 'anybody who could potentially threaten your job.' 4 Kristin Davis appeared as a guest on the 'Hey Dude… The '90s Called!' podcast. Hey Dude… The 90s Called! / YouTube 'We've all been on sets where we've had that experience where it was like, 'Oh, I don't think that they love that I'm here, but I'm only here for like a guest star [role] or whatever, right?'' she said. The 'Zoolander' star continued, 'And sometimes they weren't the nicest on certain sets and other times wonderful, but I feel like it was a period of time. And then, I guarantee you now, 30 years out of it everyone looks back and is like, 'Oh my God, what an idiot I was.'' Davis explained she had 'seen this person,' who she did not name, since that time. 'She's very nice to me now,' Davis said. 'And sometimes I'm like, 'Does she remember that she was being not that nice to me?'' 4 Davis did not identify the person who allegedly wouldn't speak to her on set. Hey Dude… The 90s Called! / YouTube Davis said she took the opposite approach when she starred on 'Sex and the City,' describing herself as the 'welcoming committee' when new actors joined the cast or made guest appearances. 'I tried to get out there quick and be like, 'Hi,' because I remember that horrible feeling,' Davis recalled. 'It was scary.' Despite her negative experience with one co-star, Davis shared that it was 'amazing' to be part of 'Melrose Place,' though she was disappointed that her stint on the show was short. 'Melrose was intimidating in, you know, so many ways, obviously,' Davis said. 'I mean, I grew up … watching all the 'Dallas' and 'Dynasty' and blah blah blah.' 4 Season 4 of 'Melrose Place' aired from 1995 to 1996. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection 'So, it meant a lot to me to be on there,' she added. 'Obviously, it was just a job also. Like, at a certain point, you're like, 'I have won the lottery. Like, I have a job. I cannot believe it.' 'You know, it's amazing, right, from a young actor perspective,' she added. 'And, I mean, as far as I know, I was gonna stay there. Like, I didn't know that I was only gonna be one season, which I believe was 32 episodes, which is insane to think about now.' Davis' character was killed off in the episode 'Devil in a Wet Dress' after she drowned in the Melrose Place pool after falling and hitting her head. During a February interview with People magazine, Davis revealed that she beat Hilary Swank for the role of Brooke in 'Melrose Place.' 'It was Hilary Swank, myself and a girl named Meredith,' Davis recalled of the final auditions for the part. Davis told the outlet she had been worried about her 'very, very long hair' at the time since the other actresses on the show had shorter hair. She recalled that she considered cutting her hair but decided against it. 4 Davis attends the 'And Just Like That ' season three photocall in Paris on May 29, 2025. Getty Images 'I remember going in, and it was just the three of us, and everyone was very nice,' Davis recalled. 'It wasn't one of those, like, scary rooms, and then you go in one at a time.. 'And I remember Hilary came out, and she seemed so young, and she had kind of shorter hair and kind of sporty. And I was like, 'Uh-oh,'' she continued. 'And then Meredith had longer hair also. I was like, 'Oh, good.'' Davis recalled that she and Meredith comforted Swank, who told them, 'I totally blew it,' after leaving the audition room. 'Obviously, she goes on to win two Oscars,' Davis said of Swank with a laugh. 'She did fine. She did fine.'
