Sydney Sweeney goes full Tinkerbell in plunging floral dress
Sydney Sweeney is a fashion icon. There are no ifs or buts about it. From her itsy bitsy throwback to 2004 in a microscopic minidress, to her Y2K bride look in a nude number, Syds knows how to turn heads. And, in her latest fashion offering, it looks as though she's taken inspiration from none other than Tinkerbell. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to share footage of the look, which consisted of a plunging floral dress that left little to the imagination. Complete with pink and green large flowers, plus a sparkly pink halter strap, the dress also featured ruffles down the back and front, and finished with a subtle pleated skirt. To accompany the princess-style dress, Sydney styled her signature honey blonde locks in loose mermaid waves, which only added to the ethereal vibe. Makeup-wise, she kept things simple with a smoky eye, a touch of blush, and nude lips. She also ditched the jewellery, which we're guessing was in a bid to let the stunning dress do the talking. After posting the vintage-filtered video, plenty of Sydney's fans flocked to her comment section to gush over the look. "My queen," one person said, as another penned: "Absolutely iconic." Elsewhere, a third typed: "The dress is giving Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girl," and honestly, we couldn't agree more, or be more obsessed with the comparison. Many also just dropped a string of heart-eye and fairy emojis. OK, is anyone else now trying to find the high street version of this for our summer wardrobe?

These are the most popular Irish baby names for boys and girls
Naming your baby is a big deal. Seriously. Once you've locked the title in, there's no going back. Unless you're Kylie Jenner, that is. Which means new parents or parents-to-be often spend ages going back and forth on potential ideas, trying to agree on the perfect name for the newest addition to their family. These days, picking a name isn't as simple as it was when your mum, gran, or great-gran were naming their kids, either. There's less pressure to pass down titles to keep them in the family, and more of a focus on creativity. From seasonal to traditional to vintage to geographical, it's also popular to give a nod to your heritage, too. With that being said, if you're looking for the perfect Irish baby name, we've got you. Whether popular in Ireland or traditionally Irish, we scoured the data provided by the Central Statistics Office to see which names, for both boys and girls, are big hitters right now. The list of most popular baby names in Ireland is currently a mix of names with English origins, Irish origins, and Latin origins, so we've also sought out some well-known and more unique Irish names for you to browse for inspiration too. Good luck! Some Irish names can be a challenge for people to pronounce if they're unfamiliar with Gaelic (and, as we all know, there's nothing worse than having somebody butcher your, or your child's, name). So, with that in mind, we asked our good pal Brooke Scullion, a bona fide Derry girl, to lend a hand with how to correctly say some traditional Irish names (which are also listed below).
