Prince Louis' Official Christening Pics Are Here—and He Looks Adorable


Prince Louis, littlest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton, celebrated the next big milestone in his royal infant life when he was christened last week in the Chapel Royal in St. James’s Palace, surrounded by his impressive relatives and close friends.

And although we had to wait a while for the official family shots, they’re finally here: On Sunday, the Kensington Palace Twitter account released the four official portraits taken after the ceremony—and they’re all beautiful.

Matt Holyoak, known as one of the world’s leading portrait photographers, took the official photos for the royal family. The portraits were shot in the Morning Room of Clarence House, where Louis’ royal grandparents, Prince Charles and Camilla, live.

“I was truly honored at being asked to take the official photographs at the christening of Prince Louis, and to witness at first hand such a happy event,” Holyoak said in a statement to People. “Everyone was so relaxed and in such good spirits, it was an absolute pleasure. I only hope I have captured some of that joy in my photographs.”

Holyoak also took Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s 70th wedding anniversary portraits last year. (Unfortunately, the monarchs weren’t able to attend the ceremony, due to some royally busy schedules.)

One of the photos features Prince William and Kate, plus George, Charlotte, and star of the show Louis, as well as Will and Kate’s parents (Prince Charles and Camilla, plus Carole and Michael Middleton). Kate’s siblings, James and Pippa, and Pippa’s husband James Matthews were also in attendance.

Also present: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, of course.

Next up is the “royals-only-please” one, with Harry, Meghan, Prince Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, and the three junior royals.

The third portrait is one of Will, Kate, and their three children.

Finally, a beautiful portrait of Kate and Prince Louis in the garden after his christening.

Adorable. It’s all adorable.

Meghan Markle and The Queen Spent the Whole Day Together—and the Pics Are Glorious


It’s official: Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth are best friends.

OK, so we don’t know that for sure, but the two did look like they were having fun on their first trip today—just the two of them—to Cheshire, England. Markle and the queen were in Cheshire for a variety of engagements, including stops at the Town Hall and the Storyhouse Theater. They also attended the opening of the Mersey Gateway bridge, where they watched a performance from local school children.

What’s most notable about Markle and the queen’s trip—besides the photos, which we’ll get to—is their mode of transportation. The two zipped over to Cheshire in what’s commonly referred to as the “royal train”. It’s a big deal, considering Prince Harry hasn’t even received an invitation to ride. In fact, the only other non-senior royal who’s gone on the train is Prince William—once, on his birthday.

The pics of Markle and the queen outside the royal train are nothing short of delightful. They look like Hogwarts students, if Hogwarts students wore lime green custom suits and Givenchy dresses. Bougie Hogwarts students! (Markle wore Givenchy for her day out.)

Kensington Palace shared a photo of Markle and the queen enjoying a laugh at the bridge opening. Wouldn’t it be amazing if one of the kids performing did a monologue from Suits?

“The Queen and The Duchess of Sussex observed the national silence in memory of the people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire, a year ago today,” Kensington Palace captioned the photo, below:

Rebecca English from The Daily Mail managed to snap this footage of Markle and queen at one of their Cheshire engagements.

And, below, check out several more photos from their big day.

Gigi Hadid Shared Some Rare Pics of Her and BFF Taylor Swift in Honor of Tay's Birthday


Taylor Swift turned 28 on December 13, and it was not only a day for the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer to reflect on her past year—she said it was a great one for her—but it also was the perfect opportunity for her friends to post some rarely seen, adorable pictures and share their love for the squad originator.

Selena Gomez posted an incredibly heartfelt note for her BFF; Lily Aldridge shared her love of Tay and her cat Meredith; and Karlie Kloss squashed any rumors that she and the pop star are anything less than friends with her own greetings for the star. And although Gigi Hadid was noticeably silent on T.Swift’s big day, she made up for it on Friday by posting a couple of photos of the two of them that we’ve never seen before.

The model posted a belated Instagram to wish Swift a happy birthday with photos of the pair cuddling up and looking extra cozy, saying, “a belated wish to an incredible friend, a brilliant mind, a huge heart : HAPPIEST BIRTH[week] my T @taylorswift , you know I love you beyond. You make me so proud ! ❤️✨”

These two are just too cute—and they’re known for doing other best-friend things together, like filming their own version of James Corden’s The Late Late Show’s “Carpool Karaoke” to Swift’s duet with Hadid’s boyfriend Zayn Malik, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever.” Or, you know, kicking ass in the “Bad Blood” music video.

It’s great to see so many women coming together to celebrate such a big day for their friend—and we’re so glad to know that these adorable best-friend selfies exist.

Selena Gomez Liked One of The Weeknd's Pics, and the Internet Is Freaking Out


Selena Gomez and The Weeknd sadly saw their romance fizzle out at the end of October. But thanks to social media, we live in a time where we never really lose track of our exes. They’re always out there in the “searchable somewhere,” which is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how it all went down in the end. It’s almost worse when you’re a celebrity—not that I’m speaking from experience here, but it must be, given that you have legions of stanning followers who adored you with your once-significant other and want nothing more than for you to get back together with them, despite whatever personal reasons you might have broken up for. Just guessing here.

Of course, when it comes to celebrity relationships, any sort of non-confrontational or friendly gesture from one half to the other becomes something newsworthy. Add to that the fact that she’s purportedly back with ex Justin Bieber—so when Gomez recently liked one of The Weeknd’s pictures—a picture of him, no less—the Internet lost its damn mind.

Gomez’s like was duly heralded by her top fan accounts, which cued the subsequent tailspin:

Selena and The Weeknd fans were ecstatic:

Others, perhaps on Team Jelena or merely watching from the sidelines, heralded it as a portent of doom and/or intrigue:

And then, like a bell tolling on a cold winter night, a voice of reason chimed in:

Do what you want, you crazy kids—we’re not here to pit exes against each other. It’s honestly just nice to see that there’s no bad blood here.

People Are Swooning Over These Pics 'Riverdale' Actor Cole Sprouse Apparently Took of Lili Reinhart


We’ve evolved from humans who want partners with enough aim to bring down a sabertooth tiger to those who simply want Instagram husbands—real or honorary, and not necessarily men—to snap a picture that makes us look incredible. It’s really not too much to ask: point and click. And filter. And edit. (Like, a little easier on the contrast, maybe?) One so-called “Instagram boyfriend” (quotes because it’s not confirmed!) who seems to have it down is Riverdale‘s own Cole Sprouse, who is apparently taking beautiful photographs of co-star Lili Reinhart. People think that a slew of photos the two have posted are Sprouse originals, and there’s plenty of evidence that points to it.

The photos shared from Reinhart’s account have Sprouse tagged in them, which is why people think he took them—though that hasn’t been explicitly verified. Still, we’ll just admire them as the works of portrait art that they are, whether they’re in arty black and white or (faux?) candid shots of Reinhart checking her appearance in the mirror.

Check out this gorgeous photo, which looks like it was captured as Reinhart was getting ready to head out for the night:

And then there’s this ~ moody ~ rooftop sequence involving a fire escape and a beautiful black dress that we would definitely add to cart:

Sprouse also shared one of his own pics of her, in which she looks like an actual Renaissance angel:

Should these indeed be his, Sprouse is clearly talented at photography—and it seems rather likely these are his: last week, he posted a cover of L’Uomo Vogue that has his work on the cover—and in a beautiful spread featuring Sam Smith (that’s right; this 25-year-old prodigy is landing Vogue covers). Also, his Instagram feed is basically an online art gallery of his other photos.

Not too shabby, Sprouse—we can’t wait to see what other work you create. Between his beind-the-camera talents and Reinhart’s Halloween makeup skills, we are low-key excited for any seasonal photoshoots that may or may not take place in the coming weeks.
