Real reason why Matty Healy wasn't at bandmate George's wedding to Charli XCX, after he's missing from pics
The Brat superstar and overall pop icon married her partner George Daniel in an intimate ceremony at Hackney Town Hall, London on 19th July 2025.
The inhabitants of East London were gagged to see music royalty on full display as Charli cosied up to George, the drummer in the band The 1975 and a producer and songwriter, in what appeared to be a white Cora mini dress by Vivienne Westwood, white Jimmy Choo slingback heels, wraparound black shades and white veil as the duo posed for pics on the town hall's steps.
It was a cute, cosy ceremony with twenty of the couple's close friends and family in appearance. However, some fans of The 1975 were shocked to see that George's bandmate and close friend Matty Healy was not in attendance.
After doing some sleuthing, it appears that Matty was in LA to attend a screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette stars.
It seems like Matty was supporting his partner during an unfortunate scheduling clash with the wedding, however, this is just speculation and has yet to be confirmed by any of the parties involved.
What we can say is that there appears to be no ill-feeling as Matty was reportedly in attendance at George's stag do, which allegedly took place in Ibiza, according to The Sun.
It is also rumoured that Charli and George are planning another, larger wedding celebration in Sicily later in the year - and it seems likely that Matty will be in attendance there.
One thing we can, for sure, confirm? Well, according to Charli's very own TikTok, George shed a tear when he saw her walk down the aisle!
Suddenly, we believe in love...

Does 2025 Even Have a Song of Summer?
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Every year the same debate enters the cultural conversation: what is the song of summer? Last year, there were almost too many contenders to count. Thanks to anthems courtesy of Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Kendrick Lamar, it seemed as if every genre had skin in the game when it came to what songs were soundtracking the season. This time around, the answer to what song is ruling the airwaves is a lot less clear—but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Rather than feeling as if we have to succumb to what our musical algorithms are feeding us, this summer brings a refreshing sense of freedom. Whether you're exploring a new genre or discovering under-the-radar artists, this season's musical bounty is a promising one. Ahead, Harper's Bazaar editors share their personal picks for the ultimate song of summer 2025. 'Love Me Not' by Ravyn Lenae 2025 is the year the world finally woke up to the genius of Ravyn Lenae. I love how this song has such a timeless melody but you can still shimmy along to it while blasting it at home or shed a little tear when zoning in on the vulnerability of the lyrics. We love duality! TikTok virality aside, Lenae is a modern day musician that encompasses the soprano abilities of a Minnie Ripperton combined with the lyrical prowess of a young Mariah Carey; which to me means we undoubtedly have a number of anthems to come from the young diva in the making. — Bianca Betancourt, culture editor 'The Giver' by Chappell Roan My household never skips a Chappell Roan song. After a whirlwind year that landed her the Grammy for Best New Artist, Roan entered 2025 with a new mission: conquering country. 'The Giver' is cheeky and flirtatious, a wink to the women who know they can satisfy their lovers better than any 'country boy quitter.' (My personal favorite bit is the choir of baritone voices echoing her in the bridge: 'She gets the job done.') Complete with fiddles and a Shania Twain affect, this bop has been playing on repeat all summer long. — Chelsey Sanchez, editor 'NuevaYol' by Bad Bunny I knew from my first listen of this song back in January that it was going to be an anthem for the ages. You can't travel through any of New York City's five boroughs without passing by a car blasting this booming track from their speakers. 'NuevaYol' will surely go down in history as a song that encompasses the magnitude of cross-cultural Latino pride, but for now, it's a personal ode from Bad Bunny himself to his second-favorite city in the world and the immigrants who have contributed to American culture tenfold. — Bianca Betancourt, culture editor 'Headphones On' by Addison Rae There's something so addictive about this song that I want injected in my veins. The string instruments, the beat, Addison whispering seductively in your ear—this song is meant to be blasted in the car on a warm summer night with all of the windows down. It's a master class in its writing and production, by an all female team. I've had it on repeat all season long, and absolutely expect it to end up on my Spotify Wrapped at the end of the year. — Olivia Alchek, senior designer 'Relationships' by HAIM No one gets me in a summer mood quite like Haim. The rollicking drums on 'Forever,' the oozing guitar on 'Summer Girl'—their songs scream sunset drives down the Pacific Coast Highway or an afternoon spent drinking spritzes by the beach. When 'Relationships' came out, I instantly knew it would be my song of the summer. With an endless loop of addictive hooks, the track accurately captures that feeling of fleeting summer love and the on-again, off-again struggle that comes when neither can decide whether to fully commit. The Haim sisters are masters at capturing the intricacies of relationships, and let me just say this song has been soundtracking a summer full of feelings for me. Oh, and a music video featuring heartthrob-of-the-moment, Drew Starkey, was just the cherry on top. — Joel Calfee, assistant editor 'Mystical Magical' by Benson Boone Controversial opinion, but my song of the summer is Benson Boone's 'Mystical Magical.' You've probably heard this song before since its lyrics, 'Moonbeam Icecream, taking off your blue jeans,' have gone viral all over social media. I still don't know what Moonbeam Icecream is, but I don't care. This song is an absolute banger and I will continue to stand by that. —Kristina Ang, social video coordinator and writer 'Catch These Fists' by Wet Leg If you are, like me, an elder millennial who still listens to indie rock, then I highly recommend this song by two girls from the Island of Wight about beating up obnoxious men at the club. Apparently there's some discourse around the fact that they're hot and also sound like Pavement, but I care less about that than I do their arched-eyebrow musical delivery. Something about the way singer Rhian Teasdale says 'Man down' at the end of every chorus reminds me of the way Phoebe Waller-Bridge looks at the camera during Fleabag—totally deadpan yet totally goofy. — Izzy Grinspan, digital director 'Giddy Up, Gorgeous' by Tanner Adell I'm calling it now: Tanner Adell will soon be the newest country darling. When she teased this infectious track on TikTok a few weeks back, I impatiently waited until it hit streaming platforms so I could blast it from my home speakers. It's such a funny, witty—and hot!—song that reminds me of when "traditional" country music felt a lot more light and free. — Bianca Betancourt, culture editor 'Afterlife' by Alex GProducer, singer, and songwriter Alex G released Headlights, his first album in three years, earlier this month, and I've had its lead single, 'Afterlife,' on repeat ever since. Warm and introspective, it bounces between nostalgia, transcendence, and new beginnings, revisiting some of Giannascoli's personal childhood memories through clipped lyrical vignettes along the way. The result is a track that shimmers with hope and tenderness; it's also a beautiful reminder to live in the moment because everything could soon change (and it is, in my opinion, best enjoyed on a walk in the sun). — Ariana Marsh, senior features editor 'IRL' by Lizzo (feat. SZA) As soon as I heard Lizzo tease a snippet of this song on TikTok, I was hooked. And after hearing all two minutes and 43 seconds of IRL, I kept it on repeat for at least three cycles back to back—it's simply infectious. Lizzo caught my attention instantly with her lyrics and a hook that just makes you want to dance, and SZA's vocal contribution adds that perfect je ne sais quoi to lock 'IRL' in as one of the songs of the summer. It's exactly what you want to have blasting at your next kickback. — Tiffany Dodson, beauty commerce editor 'Childlike Things' by FKA twigs These days, we should take as much joy as we can get, and nothing feels better than indulging your inner child. 'Childlike Things' is a quirky, summer bop that makes me want to immediately start jumping up and down as I mouth along in my room or in the car—something I'd do without a second thought in middle school, not so much as a 'serious' adult. The energy is infectious and pure fun. — Michella Ore, fashion commerce editor 'Chains and Whips' by Clipse (feat. Kendrick Lamar) I could easily say that every song on Let God Sort Em Out deserves to be nominated as the song of the summer, but the combination of Clipse, Pharrell, and Kendrick Lamar on 'Chains and Whips' is absolutely next-level. Not only did Pharrell once again mastermind a beat that directly hits my soul, but the pure lyricism of each verse makes it necessary to listen to the song at least twice in a row to make sure you've actually processed their words. Truly a masterclass in hit-making all around. — Tiffany Dodson, beauty commerce editor You Might Also Like 4 Investment-Worthy Skincare Finds From Sephora The 17 Best Retinol Creams Worth Adding to Your Skin Care Routine Solve the daily Crossword

Should we feel weird about the Coldplay cheating drama?
is a culture writer interested in reality TV, movies, pop music, Black media, and celebrity culture. Previously, she wrote for the Daily Beast and contributed to several publications, including Vulture, W Magazine, and Bitch Media. What does it mean to be a private individual in public? Are we all just characters waiting to go viral? These questions have resurfaced following the instantly-infamous Jumbotron incident that occurred during a Coldplay concert last week. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, who's married, and the company's head of human resources, Kristin Cabot, were caught cuddling before trying (and failing) to evade the camera. Chris Martin quipped, apparently accurately, that they acted like they were having an affair. Some, though, have taken a more hands-on approach to the drama. Once the concert footage went viral, users flooded the comments of Byron and Cabot's LinkedIn pages before they were taken down. Another Coldplay concertgoer sent TMZ additional footage of the couple canoodling. Users identified Byron's wife, flooding her social media, as well as a third Astronomer executive, who was spotted on the Jumbotron laughing at the ordeal. Understandably, a married CEO getting caught and subsequently resigning for having inappropriate relations with a subordinate hasn't warranted much sympathy. The ordeal is amusing to the extent that the players are largely unrelatable and seemingly thoughtless. Still, the fallout has been disconcerting to some. While the couple was exposed in a seemingly organic and accidental way, the speed at which the story escalated, with the help of online sleuths and even brands weighing in, demonstrated how easily personal matters can become public spectacles. It raises some obvious concerns about our relationship to privacy in a digital culture where the surveillance of strangers has been normalized and personal information is increasingly accessible. What happens to privacy when everything is available? What happens when exposing others is more and more commonly dressed up as fun? Since the early days of social media, average people have been at risk of becoming public, widely discussed figures overnight. Still, the advent of TikTok has made this a much more common occurrence — frequently without the permission of the people who go viral. The idea that you could be watched at any time but can never know when has gone from a philosophical prison design — Jeremy Bentham's concept of the panopticon— to a state of reality. In a 2023 BuzzFeed News story, reporter Clarissa-Jan Lim described this mostly TikTok-driven phenomenon as 'panopticontent,' where 'everything is content for the creating, and everyone is a nonplayer character in [users'] world[s].' In many cases, filming strangers has been proven to be a correct and necessary course of action. The Black Lives Matter movement was bolstered by citizens recording their negative interactions with police, for awareness-raising and proof in seeking justice. This seemed to inspire a surge in 'Karen' videos, exposing people for racist and other discriminatory behavior. However, post-pandemic, the tendency to pull out your phone and press record has descended into something much less urgent and more opportunistic. We've witnessed this before. At the height of tabloid culture in the '90s and early 2000s, we watched celebrities get hounded by paparazzi and have their personal lives examined with a microscope in magazines. Associate professor Jenna Drenten, who studies digital consumer culture at Loyola University Chicago, coined the term 'TikTok tabloid' to describe how this behavior has translated to the app in much more participatory fashion from observers. However, she says that users have created a power imbalance by subjecting regular people to this sort of spotlight. 'In the past, there was an implicit social contract: celebrities traded privacy for fame, and audiences felt justified in scrutinizing them,' says Drenten. 'But that logic doesn't cleanly apply to regular people caught in viral moments. And yet, the same infrastructure of judgment, spectacle, and moral commentary gets applied to them.' This behavior isn't just user-driven. It's often amplified and commodified by brands, as seen with Neon, Chipotle, and even betting platforms, like Polymarket, following the Coldplay incident. Drenten says that the 'blurring of public spectacle, private consequence, and corporate opportunism' is where things get even more 'ethically murky.' 'The viral attention economy is no longer limited to individuals or content creators,' she says. 'Brands are increasingly acting like culture-jacking spectators, helping to fuel the pile-on.' A larger problem often occurs after this content circulates and rakes in tons of views. The social mystery at the heart of any human drama routinely incites further engagement and sleuthing, with users becoming participants in the saga. As with the Astronomer CEO and his family, spectators usually end up doxxing the people involved, whether that's exposing their job positions or their home addresses. As this behavior gets swept up in more socially-sanctioned reactions (like jokes from regular people and brands), it affirms an increasing loss of etiquette around personal information, one that's been spearheaded by tech corporations, according to one Cornell University professor. Helen Nissenbaum, author of Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life, says tech companies have been influential in shaping our views on privacy based on what's accessible to us, creating an 'all bets are off' approach to spreading information. 'The big tech platforms have gotten away with a really poor conception of privacy,' Nissenbaum says. 'It's allowed them to say things like, 'If it's in public, anything goes.' This is how OpenAI defended itself by saying, 'We're scraping stuff on the open web without asking.'' Apps have normalized collecting and sharing users' personal information to target advertisers. There are now websites, like Did My Friends Vote, where you can easily but not always accurately access someone's voting history. These issues around theft and consent are playing out in the development of generative AI. The New York Times is currently suing OpenAI for using their original content to train its popular AI tool, ChatGPT. This sense of entitlement trickles down to practically anyone who owns a phone. Nissenbaum says, as a result, we need to adopt a 'new theory' and new 'social norms' around privacy. One way is to remind people that these extreme levels of surveillance and information-gathering are, in her words, 'creepy.' The consequence is a world where people feel less free to be their authentic selves in public, whether that's dressing how they want or attending a protest. 'When we get to this point where we accept that people can take videos, take photos, post it online for ICE or NSA or whoever to grab those photos, now we're in a police state,' she says. For now, the Coldplay Jumbotron incident might warrant some genuine laughs. But if we value not only our privacy but our sense of individuality, our impulse to amplify strangers' drama could probably use some reflection.

‘I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans speculate Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. shot scenes separately
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt survived the original 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' — but they can't escape from new fan theories. Twenty-eight years after the 1997 slasher hit theaters, the movie returned with a sequel on July 18. 12 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans speculate about the film. X Along with new faces, including Madelyn Cline, Lola Tung, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Chase Sui Wonders, audiences received the ultimate blast from the past. Prinze Jr., 49, reprised his role as Ray Bronson, while Hewitt, 46, brought back the iconic Julie James. However, on Saturday, one social media suggested that the stars didn't film their scenes together this time around. 'Okay guys. Let's spark a debate here,' they posted on X. 'Do you ACTUALLY think Jennifer Love Hewitt & Freddie Prinze Jr. filmed their scenes together for 'I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER' (2025)?! People are starting to notice the 'cuts and separate shots'. This is too much lol.' 12 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' fans think Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. shot scenes separately. X The Sony reboot's director, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, quickly cleared up any confusion. 'They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,' she wrote on X with a heart emoji. The original poster apologized to the filmmaker and shared that they felt embarrassed. Robinson, 37, responded, 'No apology necessary! I totally get why people might think that cause of some of the coverage but they are absolutely acting off each other. It was electric!' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt in the new slasher. ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Despite the pair filming their scenes together, Prinze Jr. revealed he hadn't seen Hewitt since shooting the 1998 sequel, 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.' 'We run in different circles,' the actor told Variety on Saturday. 'I hadn't seen her since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there.' 'After we finished that first scene, we had a chance to say, 'Oh, you have kids. And you have kids.' Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we've done of all three,' Prinze Jr. continued. 'I'm really proud of it. Our director, Jenn Robinson, three-dimensionalized these characters.' 12 Freddie Prinze Jr. as Ray in the 2025 'IKWYDLS.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection The 'She's All That' alum tied the knot with his 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' co-star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in 2002. The pair share kids Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12. Hewitt, meanwhile, married her 'The Client List' co-star Brian Hallisay in 2013. The couple are parents to Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10, and Aidan, 3. There has been rumors of a decades-long feud between Hewitt and Gellar, 48. 12 Freddie Prinze Jr. in a scene from the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection On Friday, the 'Holiday Junkie' actress revealed she hasn't kept in touch with her former co-star since starring in the 1997 project. 'I honestly don't even know what that was or how that all came to be,' Hewitt told Vulture. 'I just think people don't want the narrative to be easy. Why do we always have to be against each other and out for each other.' 'I haven't seen Sarah,' she explained. 'Literally, we've not talked since I saw her at 18 years old when the first movie came out. That's why it's so funny to me. People were like, 'Say something back.' And I'm like, 'What am I going to say? I've not seen her.' On my side, we're good. I have no idea where this is coming from.' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. in a scene from 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection In the original horror film, Gellar played Helen Shivers, the beauty queen who was murdered. Ryan Phillippe starred as Barry William Cox, who was also killed the first time around. The 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' alum addressed rumors of bad blood after she and Hewitt didn't pose together for pictures on the red carpet last week. 'For everyone asking — I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after-party,' Gellar wrote on Instagram at the time. 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ryan Phillipe, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr. in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Mandalay Ent/Kobal/Shutterstock 'If you have ever been to one of these, it's crazy,' she continued. 'I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.' Gellar instead posed for pictures with Prinze Jr. and her former 'Buffy' co-star, Seth Green. She also snapped pictures with Robinson, and the slasher's new star, Cline. 12 Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt in the original film. ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection Hewitt previously addressed the online speculation in December. 'I just heard that there's this whole thing where they think that Sarah and I were fighting or something. There's all these things out there,' she said on Tommy DiDario's 'I've Never Said This Before' podcast. 'I've really enjoyed going and trying to read the stuff now and be like, 'What are people saying about when we did the movie before, now, all of that stuff?'' Hewitt continued. 'Somebody the other day was like, 'Yeah, I think Julie made sure that she was killed because girl actresses don't like to work with girl actresses.' I was like, 'What are you talking about?'' 12 Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Freddie Prinze Jr. in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 12 The cast of 'I Know What You Did last Summer' poses at the film's premiere on October 8 in Hollywood. Fred Prouser 'I was 18,' the 'Party of Five' alum said. 'They were not taking script notes from me guys. Like what are you talking about?' That same month, Gellar was asked if Hewitt would return for the new 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' film. 'I have nothing to do with that,' she responded before walking away from the interviewer. Gellar later clarified why she left on her Instagram Stories. 12 Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. at the 2025 premiere of 'IKWYDLS.' FilmMagic 'Aspiring actors please note: This 'deer in the headlights' reaction is perfect for when you are excited to see so many old friends in one project but have already stupidly forgotten what NDA means once this month,' she penned beneath a shot from the film's Australian set. Hewitt also confirmed that the entire cast got along great on set in the '90s. 'All of us were in that experience together, kind of figuring it all out and everything,' she recalled. 'I root for her and Freddie and think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years and have kids. It's adorable. So yeah it's been really funny to see all this stuff that people think.' 12 Jennifer Love Hewitt on the red carpet of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' Sony Pictures via Getty Images This time around, Prinze Jr. had just as good of an experience. 'Whatever a high school union feels like, that's what it felt like,' he told People earlier this month. 'You have no idea what's changed, what's the same. You're excited to show what you think you're better at. You hope they notice it. It was all those things.'
