Nina Dobrev & Shaun White Have Red Hot Date Night At 'The Vampire Diaries' Costar's Wedding
Shaun White made us all swoon when he proposed to Nina Dobrev with white roses (and a fake dinner to throw Nina off the scent). And while this couple is head over heels in L-O-V-E, they're not in a hurry to get down the aisle. The star just spilled on why she's not trying to "rush" this phase of her life — and gave Brit + Co an exclusive peak into what their relaxing Sunday evenings look like.
Stars really are just like us! Nina Dobrev told Brit + Co that her favorite way to unwind after a busy weekend is to use Sunday to relax.
"I love Sundays because they're just so lazy. I try to do as little as possible," she said. "I try to not put real clothes on and just be in sweatpants/pajamas all day, and I love just being at the house with the dog and my fiancé and curl up and watch — it was White Lotus every Sunday, now it's The Last of Us, so it just depends on the season. I can't even talk about [ episode 2] I'm still heartbroken!"
But while they love to unwind, they also love a night out! Nina Dobrev and Shaun White just showed up to Nina's The Vampire Diaries costar Michael Trevino's wedding to Bregje Heinen and it was basically a TVD cast reunion! Nina looked beautiful in a red gown beside Shaun's black tux.
"sunlight, sangria, and a little bit of grain," Nina wrote on .
In an interview with E! News, Nina Dobrev why she and Shaun White haven't planned too much of their wedding.
'I was in Australia shooting a movie and then Christmas and New Year's,' she says. 'We're just enjoying being engaged at this point and being in that sort of phase...you have a boyfriend for half of your life and then you have a husband for half of your life but the fiancé period is very short.'
And while being married is so sweet, she's also having fun with their engagement. 'I really want to enjoy it and not rush that process," she adds. 'It's so fun to say fiancé."
Nina says she "was never one of those girls who dreamt of what a dream wedding would be,' but it's very important for her to plan a wedding that's as sustainable as it is memorable. "I'd have to do a lot of research and find out the areas of improvement.'
'My number one goal is to find out how to make it as low-impact as possible," she adds.
But even though we might have to wait to see what Shaun White and Nina Dobrev's wedding looks like, it's sure to be one for the ages! One source tells People the a "blowout party."
'They are the perfect fit together — fun and adventurous, but also very grounding for each other,' the source says. 'After the proposal, they were calling and texting friends saying, 'It can't get better than this' and were just glowing.'
I have loved keeping up with all their snowboarding, travel, and red carpet adventures, and it's better than ever now that they're fiancés. Cheers to the happy couple!
Loving all this celeb love? I know I am. Check out for even more celebrity engagement news on Brit + Co!

People Are Revealing The Modern "Wedding Trends" That Will NOT Last, And Yikes
Trends come and go, and when it comes to weddings, even the most beloved trends we see today might one day be considered "outdated." So, people online have been sharing the "wedding aesthetics" they won't stand the test of time — and it's pretty fascinating. Here's what they had to say: Note: Some responses were pulled from this Reddit thread by u/stress789. 1."I think large bridal parties are already dying off. I live in the South, and I imagine they'll stick around here longer. I had my sister and best friend, that's it. I thought it was great. For my bachelorette, I just invited all of my friends who were invited to the wedding. It ended up being super fun, and then, for the wedding, everybody knew each other." "And only the people who were the absolute closest to me (who I will almost certainly return the favor for) were asked to put in work." —bandezanne 2."The over-amped wedding party entrance to the reception, and then the couple's introduction. Why is the DJ emcee shouting like a pop concert introducing a celebrity, and everyone is blood-curdling screaming and cheering? Chill. We just saw them all at the ceremony, and things were actually calm and beautiful. They're getting a bit trashy." —savorytree93 3."Hay bales, cowboy boots, or anything 'barn chic.' Barns are never chic. Food trucks (especially messy tacos), that loopy farmhouse font on chalkboard signs, hair styled with two super straight pieces hanging down in front or Sound of Music braids, 18 bridesmaids and the exact same number of groomsmen because god forbid you have a woman without a man." "Everyone looks back and sees the trendiness in their own wedding, but there are some tried and true classics. Brides from the '40s and '50s are almost always stunning. You will 100% regret letting dressed-up kids make s'mores or doing a goofy dance down the aisle, no matter how fun they seem in the moment." —kestrelh 4."Spending thousands on a few hours of a party! My friend went into debt $60,000 for her wedding. He was cheating on her at her bridal shower! They split in a year, and she was stuck paying it off!" —crunchymagazine51 5."I have seen SO many of the baroque/drop waist wedding dresses lately, and I love them so much. But I also could totally see those being viewed similar to how we view '80s wedding dress styles!" "I truly do not care, though, because I think they are so beautiful when done well, and I love them much more than the lace everything style — but that's just more my vibe!" —neitherbooksmartnorstreetsmart 6."Many expensive getaways before the wedding for bridesmaids. It's one thing to buy a dress, shoes, a hotel, and airfare for a wedding, but having multiple bridesmaid weekends that require lots of travel, not to mention showers, and paying for everything for all of these, is just killing me." "At each bridesmaids' weekend, we also had to buy clothing in different color palettes or themes. On top of this, there are gifts for each one. I don't want to cry cheap, but there is only so much money in a millennial income." —ellie4me 7."Acrylic signs." —u/Additional_Sundae_55 8."The rustic look, specifically a geometric, wooden-shaped altar with some flower attached to it." —u/scarletnightingale "I never understood the geometric arches. I mean, everyone should do what they want, but at NO POINT in this process did I think, 'You know what my ceremony REALLY needs? The ability to stand inside a hexagon!'" —u/mimbulusmimbletonia8 9."Pampas grass and triangle arches. Boho dresses." —u/DonTot "I can't wait for pampas grass to be a thing of the past… that's expensive for being dead, dry weeds." —u/rqnadi 10."Tombstones everywhere. The arches, the table numbers, the menus." —u/voldiemort 11."The neon signs, especially of the newlywed's last names." —u/scarletnightingale 12."I'm seeing a lot of '70s-inspired wedding looks these days, and I think it's going to look the way the early 2010s boho/hipster vibe looks to us now." —u/innocentstrawberry 13."Donut walls." —u/Cheese-spaghetti 14."Design/decor: The cursive font, marquee letters, neon signs, film cameras on tables, and Y2K/'70s design elements." —u/happytransformer 15."In terms of dresses, I think the more form-fitting, lace style will be dated (but that is also what I got, so no hate). In terms of rings, the solitaire cut and pave band are both very trendy, so I can see those being dated. Diamonds, in general, are also becoming less popular, so we may see a shift to a nondiamond ring, which is more common." —u/puffyhoe 16."I hate the beige/white/tan aesthetic. Most people I know that choose this do so because they think it's 'timeless.' I just find it boring 😴. To each their own, but I'm definitely a bold design/color girly." —u/Teepuppylove 17."Mismatched bridesmaids dresses. I love the idea of everyone being comfortable in styles they like, and I will adopt the trend for my next wedding next year. But something tells me the trend won't vanish but will die drastically." —u/JawBoneBreaker1 18."I'm actually surprised the cursive 'bridesmaid' font hasn't died off yet. I hate that font." —u/Ok-Housing5911 19."The bare/minimal icing wedding cakes! I think they're cute, but it's a trend and will probably look dated in photos." —u/complete_doodle 20."On wedding dresses: The tops that look like lingerie. Super cute if that's your style, but in a few years, it'll be so dated." —u/TinyTurtle88 "Corset-style dresses are the 2020s version of the '80s/'90s poofy-sleeve trend." —u/Waste-Carpenter-8035 21."Bows. While they're pretty, and I'm actually planning on a few bow things for my wedding next year, I think this trend will be done within the next few years. I can see people thinking it looks too young or something." —u/iceicemilkshake 22."Desaturated photos. The ones where the colors aren't true, or there's so much white light to make everyone look ethereal." "Also, the dresses with fabric appliqués all over them." —u/EmeraldLovergreen 23."Blurry film photos." —u/One_Yam_9539 24."All those mirror sign seating charts since they're difficult to read." —u/puffyhoe 25."The washed-out pastel color schemes, especially sage or mint green. Shades of rusty orange are also big now, especially for fall weddings, and I don't think it always will be the case." —u/TerribleAttitude 26."Gloves and pearls. The oval diamond on a thin gold band. Confused as to why so many people say it's timeless because it's clearly a hallmark of 2020s rings." —u/lax1245 27."Something I'm including in my wedding that I'm sure will be dated soon: Alternative bouquets." "I'm doing a LEGO bouquet. I see crochet bouquets are becoming more popular, but honestly, I think it's one of those things like themed weddings where some people will always do it, but it won't be as common as it is now." —u/LittleBug088 28."I hope the extravagance dies out. My heart aches for these couples spending upper five and six figures mostly for the aesthetic, and then, they come back here and post about everything that went wrong." —u/Frannie97 And finally... 29."I have so many thoughts! Champagne towers. Everyone wearing colored sunglasses and glow sticks. The drop/baroque-waist wedding dresses. Eucalyptus. Sparkler exits." "The fake handwriting font, and similarly, the elongated cursive everyone uses. Bud vases. Wedding hair that's down with the two pieces near the ears pinned back, and similarly, Hollywood waves. Oval rings with a gold band (guilty, lol!). The notes for everyone at their place setting. Wedding gloves and puffy sleeves. Embroidered veils/dresses. Disco balls! OK. That's all I can think of." —u/dtom811 Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity. What other "wedding aesthetics" do you think will become outdated?

Fans criticize Beyoncé for shirt calling Native Americans 'the enemies of peace'
A T-shirt worn by Beyoncé during a Juneteenth performance on her 'Cowboy Carter' tour has sparked a discussion over how Americans frame their history and caused a wave of criticism for the Houston-born superstar. The T-shirt worn during a concert in Paris featured images of the Buffalo Soldiers, who belonged to Black U.S. Army units active during the late 1800s and early 1900s. On the back was a lengthy description of the soldiers that included 'their antagonists were the enemies of peace, order and settlement: warring Indians, bandits, cattle thieves, murderous gunmen, bootleggers, trespassers, and Mexican revolutionaries.' Images of the shirt and videos of the performance are also featured on Beyoncé's website. As she prepares to return to the U.S. for performances in her hometown this weekend, fans and Indigenous influencers took to social media to criticize Beyoncé for wearing a shirt that frames Native Americans and Mexican revolutionaries as anything but the victims of American imperialism and for promoting anti-Indigenous language. A spokesperson for Beyoncé did not respond to a request for comment. Who were the Buffalo Soldiers? The Buffalo Soldiers served in six military units created after the Civil War in 1866. They were comprised of formerly enslaved men, freemen, and Black Civil War soldiers and fought in hundreds of conflicts — including in the Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II — until they were disbanded in 1951. As the quote on Beyoncé's shirt notes, they also fought numerous battles against Indigenous peoples as part of the U.S. Army's campaign of violence and land theft during the country's westward expansion. Some historians say the moniker 'Buffalo Soldiers' was bestowed by the tribes who admired the bravery and tenacity of the fighters, but that might be more legend than fact. 'At the end of the day, we really don't have that kind of information,' said Cale Carter, director of exhibitions at the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum in Houston. Carter and other museum staff said that, only in the past few years, the museum made broader efforts to include more of the complexities of the battles the Buffalo Soldiers fought against Native Americans and Mexican revolutionaries and the role they played in the subjugation of Indigenous peoples. They, much like many other museums across the country, are hoping to add more nuance to the framing of American history and be more respectful of the ways they have caused harm to Indigenous communities. 'We romanticize the Western frontier,' he said. 'The early stories that talked about the Buffalo Soldiers were impacted by a lot of those factors. So you really didn't see a changing in that narrative until recently.' There has often been a lack of diverse voices discussing how the history of the Buffalo Soldiers is framed, said Michelle Tovar, the museum's director of education. The current political climate has put enormous pressure on schools, including those in Texas, to avoid honest discussions about American history, she said. 'Right now, in this area, we are getting pushback from a lot of school districts in which we can't go and teach this history," Tovar said. "We are a museum where we can at least be a hub, where we can invite the community regardless of what districts say, invite them to learn it and do what we can do the outreach to continue to teach honest history.' Historians scrutinize reclamation motive Beyoncé's recent album 'Act II: Cowboy Carter' has played on a kind of American iconography, which many see as her way of subverting the country music genre's adjacency to whiteness and reclaiming the cowboy aesthetic for Black Americans. Last year, she became the first Black woman ever to top Billboard's country music chart, and 'Cowboy Carter' won her the top prize at the 2025 Grammy Awards, album of the year. 'The Buffalo Soldiers play this major role in the Black ownership of the American West,' said Tad Stoermer, a historian and professor at Johns Hopkins University. 'In my view, (Beyoncé is) well aware of the role that these images play. This is the 'Cowboy Carter' tour for crying out loud. The entire tour, the entire album, the entire piece is situated in this layered narrative.' But Stoermer also points out that the Buffalo Soldiers have been framed in the American story in a way that also plays into the myths of American nationalism. As Beyoncé's use of Buffalo Soldiers imagery implies, Black Americans also use their story to claim agency over their role in the creation of the country, said Alaina E. Roberts, a historian, author and professor at the University of Pittsburgh who studies the intersection of Black and Native American life from the Civil War to present day. 'That's the category in which she thought maybe she was coming into this conversation, but the Buffalo Soldiers are even a step above that because they were literally involved in not just the settlement of the West but of genocide in a sense,' she said. Online backlash builds ahead of Houston shows Several Native influencers, performers, and academics took to social media this week to criticize Beyoncé or decry the shirt's language as anti-Indigenous. 'Do you think Beyoncé will apologize (or acknowledge) the shirt?' an Indigenous news and culture Instagram account with more than 130,000 followers, asked in a post Thursday. Many of her critics, as well as fans, agree. A flood of social media posts called out the pop star for the historic framing on the shirt. 'The Buffalo Soldiers are an interesting historical moment to look at. But we have to be honest about what they did, especially in their operations against Indigenous Americans and Mexicans,' said Chisom Okorafor, who posts on TikTok under the handle @confirmedsomaya. Okorafor said there is no 'progressive' way to reclaim America's history of empire building in the West, and that Beyoncé's use of Western symbolism sends a problematic message: 'That Black people, too, can engage in American nationalism.' 'Black people, too, can profit from the atrocities of (the) American empire,' she said. "It is a message that tells you to abandon immigrants, Indigenous people, and people who live outside of the United States. It is a message that tells you not only is it a virtue to have been born in this country, but the longer your line extends in this country, the more virtuous you are.'
