Hilary Duff Had the Most Stunning Safari Honeymoon in South Africa


Hilary Duff married her longtime-boyfriend Matthew Koma last month, and the celebration was a low-key, intimate event in her backyard. Following the private nuptials, she posted a few images to Instagram that captured the picture-perfect event and the actor even shared the details of creating her romantic Jenny Packham gown. And now, Duff is giving fans a look at her enviable honeymoon, which includes some stunning views of South Africa.

Duff posted several shots that show she and Koma hanging out a the beach, hugging over mountain landscapes, and enjoying super colorful sunsets. In one of the photos, Duff and Koma can be seen peering out from their window while sipping drinks. “Honeymooning with my honey. Already seen the big 5 and had so many naps. Doesn’t get better than this….” she wrote. “Moonin’ n swoonin’,” she captioned another.

Koma also shared several images of their safari in Kruger National Park. “This place is unreal,” he wrote in a post that includes a selfie of the two of them, plus pictures of a lion, lioness, and an elephant. He capped the trip off with a longer collection of photos detailing their trip: “We climbed Table Mountain in Cape Town, played bananagrams in Mozambique, read a book with a disappointing ending together on our flights, experienced a dream safari in Sabi Sands, had the best meal of our lives at Test Kitchen, and I got to bask in the high of doing it all with my best friend turned wife. I truly am the luckiest.”

Both of them looked sad to see the whole thing end. “Long journey home after the most insane trip of my life! We can’t wait to squeeze the babbbbies and rub their skin offffffffff,” she wrote in the Instagram caption of a photo that shows her and Koma making sad faces at the airport.

The vacation seems to have come at a good time; Duff has been working on the highly-anticipated reboot of her old show Lizzie McGuire. However, some recent drama temporarily ended production on the show. Hopefully, she was too busy enjoying South Africa to stress.

The Royals Are Ready for Christmas—See the Stunning Decorations at Windsor Castle


As Queen Elizabeth gets ready for the holiday season, the first photos of her breathtaking Christmas trees have been released—and, as expected, they’re just as spectacular as ever.

The Windsor Castle staff has been busy decorating. As per royal tradition, a 15-foot tree has been placed in front of the windows in the Crimson Drawing Room as well as a 20-foot version in St. George’s Hall. (This is the same place where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle first introduced baby Archie to the world.)

The Nordmann fir trees from Windsor Great Park have been decorated with red, gold, and mirrored ornaments, as well as with ribbons, hundreds of twinkling lights, miniature crowns, and an angel topper.

In the photos, staff can be seen climbing ladders to decorate the higher branches of the enormous Christmas trees, before the Queen and members of her family add the final touches.

Meanwhile, other members of the staff can also be seen adding decorations to the State Dinning Room, which has been laid with “silver-gilt pieces from the Grand Service” used by past royals, and are “still used today by the Queen and her guests at state banquets,” according to The Royal Collection Staff.

This year, the Queen will celebrate the holidays without the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who are reported to be spending the holidays with their baby and Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.

The royal couple announced their plans in a statement on November 13.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time toward the end of this month. Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, Their Royal Highnesses will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the Duchess’s mother Doria,” a spokesperson said. “This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the royal family, and has the support of her Majesty the Queen.”

Little Archie will just have to wait until next year to see his great-grandmother’s magical holidays decorations.

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams Are Engaged—and Her Ring Is Stunning


After nearly two years of dating, Sarah Hyland and Bachelor Nation fan favorite Wells Adams are engaged. Hyland shared the news on her Instagram Tuesday (July 16), posting a photo of Adams popping the question on a gorgeous beach.

“That can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, world series kind of stuff ✨❤️ @wellsadams,” Hyland wrote in the post caption, which also includes more engagement photos and a look at her stunning engagement ring.

Adams responded to Hyland’s announcement by writing, “It takes two! Well 5 including the doggos! Love you more bab….fiancé!” He also shared some photos of the engagement to his own Instagram account. “I’ll be Johnny, you be June. But forever,” he wrote in the caption, to which Hyland commented back, “I love you to Pluto and back FIANCÉ!!!! When we get married will I automatically acquire your talent for making everyone cry with a homemade video?”

She’s referring to the video Adams somehow captured of himself proposing. Watch it, below, and try not to cry.

And here’s Hyland’s Instagram announcement:

It was first reported in October 2017 that Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams were dating. She more or less confirmed the relationship a few days later by posting a photo of the two of them with the caption, “He puts up with me.”

The couple famously met on social media. They had some cute banter back and forth on Twitter before Adams “slid into my DMs,” as Hyland put it to Jimmy Kimmel in 2018. “[He told me] ‘Next time I’m in LA, I’m taking you out for drinks and tacos,’“ Hyland recalled. “I love tacos. He loves tacos, so that was his thing. Like, ‘I love tacos, let’s see if she loves tacos.’ We both love tacos! We have an obsession with tacos. Tacos and tequila, that’s our thing.”

Is that a hint about the wedding menu? Only time will tell. But for now, congrats!

The First Close-Up Look of Sophie Turner's Lace Wedding Dress Is Stunning


We’ve heard a lot about Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’ wedding over the past week: the ceremony, the details from the reception—not to mention the full pre-wedding week of festivities with family and friends (Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, among others, flew in early). But one part of the big day that we haven’t had a good look at so far? Turner’s wedding dress. Of course, we’d seen her pictured wearing a minimalist white gown at a pre-wedding event—and then there was the modern, chic Bevza jumpsuit she wore for her first wedding to Joe in Las Vegas earlier this year. But as far as the dress for she and Joe’s larger wedding? It’s just been a few fuzzy photos from paparazzi so far—until Wednesday evening, that is, when Louis Vuitton’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, shared a picture of Turner wearing the custom gown, confirming it was designed by him and his team.

The photo is taken from the back, and Tuner’s pictured standing on a pedestal, surrounded by mirrors (so yes, we get to peek at the front and sides of the gown as well). The gown is designed with an elegant white lace bodice with a low, keyhole-style back in a what looks like satin and illusion short sleeves with longer sheer lace ones attached. Except for satin details, a good part of the bodice is a second type of white lace, which flows down into a full white lace skirt and train. Turner also opted for a veil, choosing one with lace edging and floral embroidery, with what look like embroidered petals scattered across the rest of the material.

Of course, she looks stunning—and it looks like she loves the look too: You can see a wide smile on her face in the picture Ghesquière posted. “Absolut beauty @sophiet,” he captioned it.

Celebrities got in on the comments to share how gorgeous the Queen in the North was looking: “Divine ?❤️??,” Karlie Kloss wrote. “Wowwww so beautiful ❤️??,” Lily Aldridge posted. “WOW. Incroyable ???!!” Nina Dobrev wrote.

Kate Middleton Wore a Stunning White Floral Gown to the BAFTAs


Of all the red-carpet appearances celebrities make throughout the year, there’s none quite like a Kate Middleton red-carpet appearance, because like Valentine’s Day, it comes but once a year. Unlike Valentine’s Day, it’s something everyone can get excited about. The Duchess of Cambridge traditionally turns out for the BAFTAs, the Oscars/Emmys of Great Britain, and if you thought her looks for her schedule of royal engagements were good, let’s just say she really kicks it up a notch for this black-tie awards ceremony. This year, the BAFTAs were held on Sunday (February 10), and it’s safe to say that Middleton cast off her current title to show up looking like an incredibly regal snow queen.

Middleton, who showed up last to the red carpet with Prince William on her arm, wore a gorgeous white ballgown reportedly from one of her go-to designers, Alexander McQueen (the house seems to have a thing for making gorgeous white dresses for her). The bodice featured a delicate pleating effect that swept up into beautifully layered floral embellishments on its single-shoulder strap and ended with an ultra-floaty hem that blossomed out like the edges of a flower petal as she walked. She capped off the look with a pair of Princess Diana’s sparkly, drop-pearl earrings and what looks like a diamond bracelet.

Here’s the full look from the front:

Middleton also wore a little more eye makeup than she usually does: She went for a shimmering smoky eye with a spring-ready hint of pink between the lid and brow highlight. The look was finished with a rosy pink lip and swipe of blush.

And yeah, Prince William looks pretty good in his tux, too.
