It Sure Looks Like Lip Kit Queen Kylie Jenner Went Makeup-Free on This *Vogue* Cover


Kylie Jenner just turned 21, and celebrated not only with a fully booked weekend of festivities but also with a Vogue cover, as you do. Jenner is also a billionaire—earning in two hours what most Americans make in a year—having created a virtual empire from her lip kits, which have blossomed into full-on makeup collections. Makeup has always been a part of the Kardashian look, and Jenner is one of the sisters who leans into it the most: The women in the family tend to wield contoured faces, feathery lashes, and, especially in Jenner’s case, full lips (she’s recently gotten rid of her lip filler, however).

So when the September cover of Vogue Australia was revealed, it was a big surprise that Jenner’s look wasn’t all strobing and baking and contouring—no judgement, just par for the course with the KarJenners. Instead, Jenner looked…almost makeup-free?

She’s photographed with an artfully wavy lob and a stripped-down version of the look we normally see from her: There might be a bit of blush and lipstick (lip gloss, even) going on—we doubt it’s totally, 100-percent free of makeup—but it’s a relative smidgen.

Her makeup artist also ‘grammed about the cover, implying that the look came down to some (incredible) moisturizer: “This is So Major!! @vogueaustralia I would love to Say Makeup by me! but its Really Moisturizer by Ariel?❤️ i feel beyond blessed to be apart of this moment with you @kyliejenner ❤️#makeupbyariel #kyliejenner”

We’ve seen more and more pared-down looks on magazine-covering celebs lately: Ariana Grande let her freckles show on the July cover of British Vogue; Christina Aguilera did the same for Paper earlier this year. These covers are symbolic of seeing these women—all of whom were on the verge of a major change (a new album for Aguilera, a new album plus an engagement for Grande)—in new lights.

Jenner’s life, of course, has been full of milestones lately: Besides the whole billionaire thing, she’s also setting into to being a mom—and wearing hair extensions worth $8,000 for her 21st-birthday look. Whatever’s coming next, it certainly seems like she’s ready for it.

Donald Trump Reportedly Broke Royal Protocol Multiple Times When Meeting With Queen Elizabeth II


Donald Trump caused a major Twitter storm last week when he reportedly kept Queen Elizabeth II waiting for about 15 minutes. But this was far from the only faux pas he allegedly committed that day. According to news reports, the president went on to break royal protocol multiple times during his meeting with the queen.

The New York Times reports that both the president and First Lady Melania Trump forgot to bow and curtsy when meeting Queen Elizabeth II, as is customary. Then, Trump walked in front of the 92-year-old monarch, which the Times writes is a “royal no-no.” Footage of the awkward moment shows him stopping in front of her at one point, cutting her off, and making her walk around him. Check out the receipts for yourself, below:

The third snafu happened after the meeting. On Monday, Good Morning Britain aired an interview Trump did with host Piers Morgan, in which he recalled the queen saying Brexit was “a very complex problem.” Time reports that heads of state revealing their conversations with the queen is a breach of protocol.

Buckingham Palace shot down reports and rumors that Prince Charles and Prince William intentionally snubbed Trump by not attending his meeting with the queen. “It was entirely in line with standard practice for guest of government visits [for] The Queen to receive the President and First Lady,” a palace spokesperson said, according to The Independent. “The arrangements were mutually agreed between the Palace and the U.K. and U.S. governments. There was never a suggestion that other members of the royal family would take part.”

President Trump and First Lady Melania Met Queen Elizabeth II for Tea


While a giant baby Donald Trump blimp flew across the London skies to protest his visit, (yes, that happened), Queen Elizabeth II capped off a busy week of royal activities by hosting the U.S. President and First Lady Melania Trump for Friday tea at Windsor Castle.

And just in case you’re wondering, this is the same castle where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding festivities took place back in May.

The President and First Lady arrived at the castle in a Range Rover driven by two officials. In the past, the queen’s husband, Prince Philip, has driven foreign dignitaries himself, as he did with Barack and Michelle Obama back in 2016. But Prince Philip was not spotted today, according to the White House pool report, nor were any other members of the royal family.

The queen greeted the couple wearing a blue day coat with a matching hat over a yellow and blue floral outfit and carrying one of her signature black bags. FLOTUS, meanwhile, wore a pale Dior skirt suit, according to CNN’s Kate Bennett, who also pointed out that Trump wore Dior when she met Prince Harry at last year’s Invictus Games. After a couple of quick handshakes, the President and First Lady stood for the U.S. national anthem, hands over their hearts.

While there were smiles all around during the greeting, it would seem that the Trumps may have kept the queen waiting a tad too long, as she was spotted checking her watch while they were still in the air, arriving by helicopter.

The Trumps did not appear to bow and curtsy upon greeting the queen. But it is actually not required by her majesty, especially for heads of state, according to CNN. After the short walk, they all headed inside for tea.

Twitter, of course, had some thoughts about the meeting—especially since it was taking place as things were hitting the fan back across the pond: On Friday morning 12 Russian nationals were handed indictments by the Justice Department, as a part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia meddling investigation.

And some thought Trump broke protocol by blocking the queen during their walk.

As for what the Trump and the queen discussed over tea? No word yet. But it’s possible he discussed how that Baby Trump blimp made him feel “unwelcome.”

Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan Are Totally Unrecognizable in the First 'Mary, Queen of Scots' Posters


Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan are never ones to hold back when it comes to roles (Harley Quinn, anyone?), and it’s clear Mary, Queen of Scots will be no different. The two have really come out to play—actually, come out to fight, if we’re being loyal to historical accuracy—in the first posters for the upcoming period drama.

Saoirse plays the reigning Scottish queen, with Margot tackling Queen Elizabeth I, Mary’s cousin and Queen of England and Ireland. Their family dynamics are very twisted, to say the least, but we’ll spare you from a complete breakdown of British royal history. What you need to know is this: The film will focus on Mary, Queen of Scots’s attempt to overthrow and execute her cousin to take her throne. Elizabeth finds out about this attempt and condemns Mary to imprisonment and an eventual execution. What ensues are never-ending power grabs, mind games, and some of the finest wigs we’ve seen in recent memory.

See the posters for yourself, below.

The first images from the film are also impressive:

Margot has found a particular creative fulfillment in playing the monarch, noting that the young women—who were in their early 20s when the drama began to transpire—have a much more complex relationship than people realize. “Everyone manipulated their relationship,” she told EW. “It’s complicated, it’s tragic, and it’s bizarre. The only other person in the world who could understand the position they were in was each other.”

The first Mary, Queen of Scots trailer will debut Thursday, and the film will debut in December.

It Sure Looks Like the Queen Inspired Meghan Markle's Latest Outfit Choice


Meghan Markle has wasted no time getting to work on her style legacy as the newly minted Duchess of Sussex. Her streak of classic, chic dresses continued with an appearance alongside Prince Harry at the Your Commonwealth Youth Challenge Reception held at Marlborough House on Thursday (July 5).

The Duchess of Sussex immediately turned heads when she arrived at Marlborough House in a bright yellow sheath dress paired with nude heels. Eagle-eyed onlookers were quick to note that the dress is a creation of American designer Brandon Maxwell.

Markle looks great in just about everything she wears—this much we know. But the striking yellow shade of Markle’s dress caught our attention. For her past five engagements, Markle has stuck with muted colors: Neutral beige, pale pink, and sky blue. Bold hues able to be spotted in a crowd are more her grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II’s vibe—case in point, her lime-green ensemble for Markle’s royal wedding.

Some have speculated that Markle can’t wear colors that clash with the Queen’s bold palette to the same event. With this dress, Markle may have looked to the royal for inspo—sans fashion faux pas. As royal fashion commentator Lucas Armitage told the Daily Mail ahead of Markle’s neutrally dressed joint outing with the Queen in June, “I feel this is a clever styling tactic as it will always work with the Queen’s look; she is known and applauded for her use of bright fun [colors].”

Markle’s Brandon Maxwell #lewk was briefly available for purchase on Bergdorf Goodman’s website, but has since sold out. Given that the regal sheath retailed for $523, we’re pretty content sticking with her Amazon purchases—even if they weren’t an homage to the Queen.

Meghan Markle Is Taking Over One of Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Royal Duties


One June 14, less than one month after officially becoming a royal, Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth II traveled to Cheshire, England together aboard the monarch’s private train. She was the first of the young royals to take a ride on the royal train—beating Prince William, Kate Middleton, and even her husband Prince Harry to it. And just by looking at the photos from that day, you can really tell the two got along well.

As if the short trip wasn’t a warm enough welcome into the family, the Queen has now reportedly passed off one of her favorite royal duties to Markle (a.k.a. the Duchess of Sussex) and Prince Harry, according to the Sunday Express.

Harry and Meghan will welcome visitors in the Queen’s Young Leaders program to Buckingham Palace, which was a role previously held by the Queen. The program “is said to be a job that has been close to [Queen Elizabeth II’s] heart,” according to the Sunday Express, and honors young people living in the Commonwealth nations who have helped change their communities for the better.

Back in April, Prince Harry hinted that his wife to be would have a role in the Commonwealth Youth organization: “I am also incredibly grateful that the woman I am about to marry, Meghan, will be joining me in this work, of which she too is hugely excited to take part in.”

But a role in the program is one thing, taking over one of the Queen’s duties is another—and it’s also a huge honor. Not only does it mean Markle is accepted by the royal family, it’s also a symbol of just how much the Queen trusts her with a role that is so near and dear to her.
