Charli XCX cheekily reveals rocker husband George Daniel cried as they marry
Charli XCX has revealed a sweet detail of her wedding to George Daniel after they tied the knot this weekend. Social media was sent into a frenzy tonight when a video went viral from the couple's special day, confirming that they were now husband and wife. Charli herself later took to TikTok with a cheeky clip, using her own tune, Girl, so confusing, which features Lorde and recently became part of a trend on the app. The Apple hitmaker, 32, filmed herself in her Vivienne Westwood gown, strutting into the room before jokingly turning around and leaving, adding the text: 'when george isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle'. Giving an insight into her spouse's actual reaction, though, she added in her caption: 'luckily he did xx' So, it seems like her 1975 rocker is a big softie underneath! @charlixcx luckily he did xx ♬ original sound – will bottone In the comments, fans were beside themselves with joy after the pop power couple revealed they had wed, with plenty joking about the Chocolate hitmaker, 35, changing his name. 'CoNGRATS MRS AND MR XCX', wrote @sillylilcapricorn. 'Did he take ur last name and become George xcx', said @alex_whelan7. 'this is my royal wedding', declared @_.samc. 'Charli getting married with sunglasses… that's iconic', added @adiazarzarbens. Indeed, the Brit Award-winning pop queen is never without her signature black shades, making sure to add a touch of Brat to her bridal ensemble. Wowing everyone in a low-cut white mini-dress, the musician wore her raven locks down and covered by a lengthy veil, accessorising with her trademark sunnies ahead of the intimate ceremony. Charli—real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison—exchanged vows with George at Hackney Town Hall in London. According to The Mirror, there were only 20 friends and family in attendance, including 1975 drummer George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann. Frontman Matty Healy wasn't said to be there. As for the sticksman's attire, the groom opted for a traditional black suit and a white flower in his jacket to match his wife's bouquet. Their relaxed nuptials come after reports that Charli and George were planning a lavish Sicily wedding later this year. An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. '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 mesmerising. '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 added: '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.' However, Charli revealed earlier this year that she was feeling nonchalant about her wedding plans and that she and George were more fussed about letting loose afterwards. 'We're both very chill, and we kind of just want to have a party. 'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. 'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.' Ahead of the wedding itself, George, who has been part of The 1975 since 2002, reportedly jetted to Ibiza for a wild stag do, accompanied by long-time pal Matty, 36, who is engaged to musician Gabbriette, 27. More Trending 'George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do,' a source said of the Glastonbury headliner's plans. 'He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals—including his bandmates—and party girl Charli was all for it.' Charli and George got engaged in November 2023 after a year of dating. Announcing the news at the time, Charli flashed her dazzling ring in an Instagram post with the caption: 'charli xcx and george f***ing for life!' Got a story?

Nile Rodgers to guest-curate display at new David Bowie Centre
London's V&A Museum, which is behind the new David Bowie Centre, said Rodgers has also selected a bespoke Peter Hall suit worn by Bowie during the Serious Moonlight tour for the Let's Dance album. Photographs of Bowie, Rodgers and guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan recording Let's Dance in New York will also feature. The David Bowie Centre will open within the museum's new East Storehouse in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Stratford, east London, on September 13, where it will host items including costumes worn during the singer's Ziggy Stardust period. Rodgers said: 'My creative life with David Bowie provided the greatest success of his incredible career, but our friendship was just as rewarding. 'Our bond was built on a love of the music that had both made and saved our lives.' Rodgers produced Bowie's single Let's Dance and the 1983 album of the same name, as well as his 1993 album Black Tie White Noise, with the personal correspondence in the exhibition relating to the latter. Brit Award-winning indie rock band The Last Dinner Party have also curated part of the exhibition, describing Bowie as a 'constant source of inspiration to us'. Their items include Bowie's elaborate handwritten lyrics for his song Win, and notes and set lists for his 1976 Isolar tour. The band said: 'David Bowie continues to inspire generations of artists like us to stand up for ourselves. 'It was such a thrill to explore Bowie's archive, and see first hand the process that went into his world-building and how he created a sense of community and belonging for those that felt like outcasts or alienated – something that's really important to us in our work too.' Access to the David Bowie Centre will be free, with tickets released nearer its opening. The David Bowie archive, which boasts more than 90,000 items, was acquired by the V&A with the help of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group. The centre will be spread across three zones, which will include curated displays, audio visual installations and quieter study areas, allowing visitors to view the Bowie archive on their own, from musical instruments to stage models. Small displays will tell the stories behind the singer's albums and also look at his multi-dimensional creative approach, including unrealised projects, collaborations and influences. The East Storehouse opened at the end of May, and features the Order An Object initiative, allowing visitors to pre-book to see an item from its entire collection. The V&A will also open the V&A East Museum in spring 2026, in an area named East Bank. Its main museum is in South Kensington, west London, and it also runs the Young V&A in Bethnal Green, east London.
