Bridesmaids dresses that actually can be worn again
As a bride, you probably have more than enough to think about, without worrying that you are buying a bunch of bridesmaids' dresses that will never see the light of day again. If you are forking out for everything then you may not need to worry about this so much, but if you are asking your bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses, then it's a very nice idea to get something more versatile for them.
It would be fantastic if your bridal party could get a second or third use out of their gowns, and here is some great advice about trends and styles that can help make that happen.
Two key rules before you start, however:
Talk to your bridesmaids and include them in the decision-making process
Choose styles that flatter their individual body shape and size and that they will feel comfortable in again (especially important if you are making them pay for their dresses!)
Stay away from full-length gowns
Weddings are usually a formal affair, and often the bridesmaids' dresses will be floor-length gowns perfect for a black-tie party. However, if after the wedding, your bridesmaids never go anywhere formal again, their dress is unlikely to be very versatile in the future.
Make choices that can be dressed down or made a little casual another day. Knee-length or tea-length dresses are lovely for this, especially fit and flare or A-line. The wearer can team her dress with pretty thongs and a denim jacket and totally get more than one wear out of it.
I am in love with this convertible mid-length dress from Bridesmaids Etc
If you really want full-length, think more along the lines of pretty maxi-dresses than princess ballgowns. If she needs a tiara to wear it, then it's a bit too fancy to re-wear. This simple navy maxi-dress from Bridesmaids Online can easily be worn again at the beach or to a pool party for example.
Bold colour themes are not likely to be reusable
You might have a colour theme for the wedding day that is totally you, but when you honestly think about it, doesn't lend itself well to being worn again. Hot pink dresses are not everyone's cup of tea, nor coral or purple and even deep red ones might be a tad overconfident for your friends to wear again. Teal can never be worn again. Anything very bold and that stands out a mile away looks stunning in your wedding photos but may stay in your bridesmaid's closet forever after.
Safer choices are navy, dove grey, softer pinks, yellow or greens, natural tones like browns, olive and even blacks. Prints, when done well, are good too.
Too much lace or sparkle does not date well
Too much detailing in the gown screams wedding. Very few women under sixty will wear a gown again that has lace on it, or busy beading or embroidery. These touches can be done very well, however more often they are over the top, and once again perfect for walking down the aisle, but not for going on a date.
Keep it sleeker, simpler and less fussy. If you choose detailing, make it classy, or at least easy to remove.
Clever use of colour and pattern
Patterns and contrasting colours are much more likely to get a re-wearing. Look for clever uses of black and white for example or beautiful dresses in vintage floral or tropical patterns. When your girls are all together these will look stunning, but when you take each dress individually, it gives the wearer a lot more options later on.
Choose gowns that aren't too fitted or would be difficult to adjust later
If your bridesmaids are young, or yet to have babies, then they may have some knockout figures, and you might be happy to show them off. But if you want their dresses to be versatile, don't go for too fitted, or so intricate or fussy that it can't be adjusted later. Your bridesmaids will almost certainly change shape as they grow finer with age, so give them a bit more leeway. Don't go too fitted in the legs, around the bust, or have things like shoestring straps that don't date well.
Choose simple, vintage or classical
Don't choose a dress that is so on trend that it can't be worn by next year. Make your choices more classical and simple, with well-tailored lines, graceful silhouettes, decent fabrics and as we mentioned above, not too much busy detail.
Think vintage looks; they have lasted through the years because they date well and are always beautiful and flattering. Think a 1930s style Gatsby dress, or a feminine 1950s skirt-line, or anything Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly ever wore. For handmade vintage styles that flatter everyone, check out this one!
Rarely will the exact same style of dress work for all your bridesmaids; let some variety and personality shine
Although having all of your girls matching is often the point of bridesmaids' dresses, if you really want them to wear them again, it is better to choose dresses that suit your girls' shape, style and personality.
You could still have matching features, such as the colour choices, fabric pattern or length, but let the girls have more say in the individual style of the dress. More and more dress designers are coming on board with this versatility and will offer you a range of shapes and sizes in one colour or pattern theme. Or you could get something made up.
So, if you really want to be the rare bride who truthfully says, 'You can totally wear this again,' and have your bridesmaids excitedly believe it, follow these simple guidelines. But best of all, talk to your girls about what they would like as well because this will really be the best indication of if they like it enough to get a second wear out their dress.

That's never been the case: Queen Elizabeth II visits London Fashion Week
At age 91, Queen Elizabeth II is still in for a surprise ... So the head of the British Royal House visited London Fashion Week yesterday - for the first time in her life!
As always dressed in a stylish style - in a delicate blue costume - she followed the show of British designer Richard Quinn in the front row. Next to her sat the "Queen of Fashion" - Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of US Vogue. The pictures of the two are now going around the world.
The Queen seemed rather 'amused' by the designs of Richard Quinn, who sent his models across the catwalk in bright, long flower dresses with motorcycle helmets, but also in leather dresses and fishnet stockings.
But that was not the only honor that came to fashion designer Quinn. After the show, the Queen personally presented the "Elizabeth II Fashion Award", which will be awarded each year in the future, a new up-and-coming talent in the British fashion industry.
When she presented the award, the Queen said about the industry: "From the Tweed from the Hebrides to the Nottingham Peak, and of course Carnaby Street, our fashion industry has been renowned for great craftsmanship for many years, and continues to provide world-class textiles and innovative and practical design.

Adele: that's why she's so popular
But why does the Hello song performer have such global success ? Even if
the reasons are not lacking, from her golden voice to her heady tubes and the
emotion she manages to put on stage, the main interested party has her own
answer to the question. Spectacular and glamorous on the cover of the latest
issue of Time , Adele has indeed explained the reasons for its success.
According to the "new Amy Winehouse", it is because she is " not shy", "not
afraid" to post that she is "vulnerable" that her fans would recognize
themselves as much in their idol.
Even if Angelo's mother does not know why she is so successful, as she explained to the famous American magazine, the singer would still think that her fragility would not be for nothing in this international glory. One who will sing on Kate Middleton's birthday has detailed that " when you see that someone feels as bad as you (...) it makes you feel better" . The 27-year-old British artist used to talking about his problems in his texts would appear like everyone else, battling with everyday worries. A "normality" that would please admirers of Adele.
However, the Londoner who enjoys Beyoncé's music has no accuracy in her success. The recipe, if she knew, the one whose album 25 was released last November put the " box" and "sell like this, everyone" . A generosity that must also participate in its celebrity!

Beyonce's New Super Short Hair Is Giving Us Major Solange Vibes
It was just weeks ago that Beyoncé seemed to take down short hair for good
with a single Instagram shoot that showed off a cascading style. (She's a
trend-setter like that.) But the beauty chameleon has changed up her style once
again, and poof! Those Rapunzel-length locks are gone.
In place of her thigh-grazing strands, Queen Bey is rocking a new, short hairstyle that's not like any other look we've seen on the superstar mom. Here's a look at the Lemonade singer's latest look, with a private yacht and a gorgeous skyline thrown in for extra pizzazz.
Well, now we're just confused. Does Beyoncé look better with long hair, or short hair? Or is that really just an impossible question? While we mull, we must say that Bey's current look reminds us so much of her sister Solange, who tends to rock her hair a bit shorter and curlier than her superstar sibling.
And since Selena Gomez also just pulled a hair switcharoo, we'll be on high alert for other last-minute hair changes in 2017. Maybe it's not so much short hair, but short-lived hairstyles, that will be hot next year!

So different is the new song by Taylor Swift
If you thought that Taylor Swift had shown her hard side in "Bad Blood" and
proved that she would not let the haters and competitors push her around, then I
have to disappoint you: there is much more!In her new song "Look what you made me do", which Taylor announced yesterday quite unexpectedly for today, the Pop-princess expects everything that gets in her way - including her own past.
And as a listener, you're not just wondering what the Taylor in the video did badly, but also who she wrote in lines like "I do not like your perfect crime I do not like your perfect crime as you laugh while you're lying, you said the gun is mine, it's not cool, I like you not. ") sings.
Of course, many people now say that Taylor Swift does not settle for an exchange with an ex with her new song, but with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The drama between the three stars has been going on for a while now. And also from the lyrics, it would be fitting that Taylor sings the second verse on the beef with the two:
I do not like your keys to the kingdom.
They once belonged to me.
You ask me for a place to sleep.
Locked me out and threw a feast (
The world moves on, another day, another drama) (The world goes on, a new drama every day)
But not for me, all I think about is karma (But not for me, all I'm thinking of is karma)
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure (Then the world goes on and one thing is for sure)
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours (I got what I deserve, but you will all)

Terrifyingly thin? This is what Tara Reid looks like today
When Tara Reid made her big break with American Pie in 1999, she was just
24 years old. But after the big success came the deep crash. Instead of making
new film roles, the blonde is making headlines over various party excesses,
beauty surgeries, and her heavy, alarming weight swings.
Compared to the US-American celebrity portal "E! News "Tara Reid comments on the many rumors surrounding her very slim figure in July:" People always say I'm not eating. I eat all the time. They call me 'frighteningly thin' ... Everyone knows I eat more than anyone else. I'm just a thin girl. "That the blonde was always very slim, can not be denied. But the pictures of the last year are a bit worrying - Taras body looks bony, almost unhealthy.
But the actress protests to the portal "Page Six": "I feel as well as in years no more. If you have something to do, life is good. When you work, life is good. Only when you have nothing to do will you go crazy. "
But no matter how a person looks, whether thin, fat, bony or plump - as long as he or she feels comfortable in her body and is healthy, no one should make a rash judgment. And not only fat-shaming, as curvy women or chubby men suffer, is terribly hurtful, but also skinny-shaming . Tara Reid now knows how to handle the hate comments on her social media channels. In conversation with "E! News "She describes:" In my life, I have experienced a lot of bullying and I know how it feels and how much it hurts ... What people do not realize is that there are so many types of bullying: social media - Bullying, cyberbullying , physical bullying, psychological bullying. "
We hope for the actress to make it into the headlines again with great movies and not because of her character - and that will be faster than expected! For this year their new movie "Sharknado 5" is due to be released in German cinemas.

Eminem: Potentially your savings or love yourseltLose yourself
It’s the classic hip-hop success story: Up-from-the-streets rapper proves
himself through hard-fought struggle for recognition, gets his big break,
becomes wildly famous, struggles with addiction, gets clean, then has his back
catalog of music become part of an IPO. The American dream!
The truth is that digital music streaming, as beloved as it is amongst listeners for its accessibility and cheapness, just doesn’t make all that much money for artists. But there is good news yet. Streaming is so popular these days that it’s actually growing the once-dying music business—giving the industry a lift for the first time in decades, and offering a glimmer of hope to the producers and musicians who had been watching profits crash down year after year.
And although fans and potential investors shouldn’t expect their favorite hip-hop artist to be sitting at shareholders meetings next to them (“Eminem is not involved in any deals for the sale of recording royalties and has no connection to this company,” his rep says), it’s nonetheless an unusual and possibly appealing situation. After all, “Royalty Flow (feat. the Bass Brothers)” has a nice ring to it.

Game of Thrones season 7: THIS character is being blamed for the White Walkers invading
In the season seven finale, the army of the dead was seen marching towards
Westeros and the Night King destroyed The Wall a top dead dragon Vierion who
spewed terrifying blue flames.
But one fan theory suggests this scene wouldn't have happened if it wasn’t for one particular person’s actions.
One Reddit user has put the blame on Hot Pie (played by Ben Hawkey) for causing the destruction and for putting everyone’s lives at risk due to one key decision.
Back at the beginning of the season, he bumped into Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) who revealed she was heading to King’s Landing to kill Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).
However, Hot Pie changed the course of her travels as he told his old friend her brother Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is back in Winterfell.
This key meeting made Arya travel to her home where she was reunited with her siblings Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright) and Sansa instead of her original point of call to kill the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
The fan wrote: “Hot pie is the reason behind all of this. It’s all because of him, if he didn't tell Arya that Winterfell is under Stark's control, Cersei could be dead now Jon and his company won't get a white walker.
“They won't go beyond the wall, Viserion would be alive, The Wall won't fall. And all Westeros would be united against the Night King. YES! It's Hotpie's fault.”
There is no telling whether Hot Pie’s interference would have stopped the White Walkers from crossing into Westeros but the fan certainly has a point.

Sia: Love Letter to the LGBTQ Community
For Gay Pride Month, Billboard asked numerous pop culture luminaries to write 'love letters' to the LGBTQ community. Below, iconoclastic artist and gay rights advocate Sia shares hers. Read more Pride Month love letters here.
I remember the day someone forwarded me a video set to my song "breathe me" of a thirteen year old boy called Jonah Mowry. He was detailing his internal landscape as a young gay male in the world, and how depressed he was. I have been blessed to be surrounded by the queer community, in New York, in LA, where there is far more acceptance and positive self image, and so seeing him struggle was an important moment for me as a "human with the privilege of a platform". In that moment I decided to dedicate myself to the queer community in a more meaningful way. I am so very grateful for my queer community and would have withered away long ago without them. Specifically my manager David, who has held my hand now for 12 years, through light and dark. He recently came out publicly as HIV positive, and the transformation of his shame into self acceptance has been magic to watch. I am so happy and proud of him. I can without question say I wouldn't have made it without my queer friends, both personally and professionally, and I am forever grateful to God for creating them in all their glory.

Actor Lee Min Ho to join military service this year
SEOUL (KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Lee Min Ho's agency said on Tuesday that the actor will enlist in the military this year.
Officials from MYM Entertainment denied earlier reports that said Lee was planning to start his mandatary military service in March or April, adding that nothing has been decided yet.
But the company added that the actor is slated to enlist this year, since his age - 29 - makes it difficult for him to delay it any longer.
Korean law stipulates that all able-bodied men are to serve in the military for 21 to 24 months, depending on the branch of service, as the country is technically still at war with North Korea.
Lee will be assigned to a non-combat position assisting civil servants. He was deemed unfit for combat duties at the physical examination - conducted by the Military Manpower Administration - due to injuries sustained in a 2006 car accident.
Debuting in 2003, Lee played several minor roles in dramas, sitcoms and movies until his big break came in 2009 with a leading role in the KBS series Boys Over Flowers, which propelled him to superstardom.
He has most recently starred in SBS drama The Legend Of The Blue Sea, alongside Gianna Jun.
