Kate Middleton Makes New Fashion Statement During Appearance With William

8 July 2025 at 06:51

Princess Kate Middleton stepped out alongside husband Prince William after a slew of public absences.

Kate, 43, appeared to be in good spirits as she and William, also 43, as they welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, to Windsor Castle on Tuesday, July 8. King Charles III and Queen Camilla are hosting the overseas guest at Windsor, and plan to throw a banquet in their honor. Emmanuel and Brigitte’s visit marks the first time France has made a U.K. state visit in 17 years.

The royal family members were photographed mingling with Emmanuel, 47, and Brigitte, 72, as their plane landed at RAF Northolt on Tuesday. They were subsequently driven in carriages to Windsor.

While William opted for his classic navy suit for the outing, Kate went for a fashion risk with a pale pink Christian Dior ensemble paired with a matching hat. The outfit was part of Dior’s 2024 collection, designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the brand’s first-ever female designer. Tuesday marked the first time Kate wore Dior for a public outing, but donning the French designer seemed to be a way to honor the guests from France.

Kate Middleton Makes Low-Key Public Outing After Skipping Royal Ascot

Kate kept on a big smile while greeting Emmanuel and Brigitte, even having a subtle PDA moment with William, with her hand on his back.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Kate would be joining William to greet the French President after skipping a few other public appearances. She made headlines last month after pulling out of a scheduled outing at the Royal Ascot. A last-minute switch of attendees took her name off the list, leaving William, Charles and Camilla as the only royals in attendance on June 18.

Tuesday might mark one of Kate’s first appearances this month as there’s speculation she’ll attend the ongoing Wimbledon tennis tournament.

Kate Middleton Is Returning to Royal Duties on ‘Her Own Terms’

Late last month, the Daily Mail’s royal editor Rebecca English speculated that it was “very likely” Kate would attend the tennis event, which kicked off on June 30 and is set to end on Sunday, July 13. However, she and William have yet to make an appearance.

Kate did speak at the Colchester Hospital in Essex on July 2, offering an update about finding a “new normal” after completing chemotherapy last year. (Kate announced in March 2024 that she was diagnosed with cancer. She has been in remission since January.)

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment,” she said. “Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.”

Mormon Wives’ Jen Shows Off Her Postpartum Body 1 Week After Giving Birth

8 July 2025 at 06:30

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jen Affleck is showing off her postpartum body — and, naturally, dancing in the hospital room — just days after giving birth.

Jen, 26, announced on Wednesday, July 2, that she gave birth to her and husband Zac Affleck’s third baby, Penelope. Since then, Jen has been documenting her time in the hospital.

“My pelvic floor might not be ready… but I sure am 👀💃🪩,” Jen captioned a TikTok,celebrating her Dancing With the Stars casting while Zac, 28, held their newborn in her hospital bed. (Both Jen and costar Whitney Leavitt will be season 34 of DWTS in the fall.)

Zac was asked why he looked like he was “the one who gave birth,” to which he quipped, “She set me up! Said go sit in bed and hold the baby! Next thing I know she is dancing again.”

Jen subsequently uploaded photos of her holding her daughter while wearing a bra and a postpartum diaper.

“Even though she’s my third baby I’m just as in awe, as if it was the first time,” she wrote alongside the sweet Instagram post on Monday, July 7. Jen also shared a video from home one week after delivering her baby and she posed for the camera while showing off her stomach.

Jen and Zac, who got married in 2019, are also parents to kids Nora, 2, and Luca, 22 months. Their marriage has been at the center of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in September 2024. Before season 2 aired in May, Jen directly addressed viewers who called her third pregnancy a “band-aid baby” after her brief separation from Zac.

“I know a lot of people call it a band-aid baby. They can call it whatever. But truly finding out where pregnant was the biggest blessing,” she exclusively told Us Weekly before season 2 debuted. “I definitely think that I wasn’t in the right headspace during season 2 — and I’m not sure that my priorities were straight either.”

Jen said she was thankful for how her third pregnancy “forced” her to get her “priorities straight.”

“It’s definitely changed [things] a lot. Truthfully, finding out we were pregnant was the last thing we expected,” she admitted. “It was truly shocking when we found out. It also made us worried and stressed because of everything we were facing in our marriage during that time.”

At the time, Jen noted that season 2 documented “the worst of what happened in our relationship,” adding, “But again, it is all things that we’re grateful for and I hope we can talk more about it after everyone has seen season 2. I haven’t seen season 2 so I don’t really know what happens. There is effort on both ends of a relationship and you’re both willing to put in that work. You can always make it work and that’s kind of what happens.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is currently streaming on Hulu.

Ellen Pompeo Uses This Luxe Anti-Aging Serum to Get Smoother, Firmer Skin Without Botox

8 July 2025 at 06:30

Though Ellen Pompeo plays a surgeon on our television screens, she’s not going to one IRL for nips or tucks. In fact, the 55-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star doesn’t even use Botox and somehow, her skin still looks plump and youthful. Her secret? A luxe anti-aging serum that’s “changed” her skin.

As someone doesn’t want to “put stuff” in their face but still has an on-camera job, Pompeo said it’s important for her to “keep up” her appearance — after all, she does get paid for it. That’s where the SK-II LXP Ultimate Revival Essence. In an interview with Into the Gloss, she said that SK-II’s line has “changed” her life — especially as someone who’s always had “problem skin.”

Gisele Bündchen Uses This $30 Water Bottle Users Say is ‘Stylish, Functional, and Durable’

Pompeo said that she uses this serum “in the morning” while she sits in her steam room (we love a multi-tasking queen!). She lets it sit and then follows up with other products from the line like the SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser and SK-II Essential Power Moisturizing Cream. Basically a full spa routine before breakfast, this is the most skin-perfecting start to any day.

Formulated with the brand’s highest concentration of PITERA (their signature ingredient), this serum can brighten, smooth and plump the skin in more dramatic ways than your average product. Packed with other powerhouse ingredients, like Centella Asiatica and glycerin, it gives your skin a bouncy, glass skin glow — and works quickly.

With this serum, it doesn’t take months to start seeing results like normal — according to the brand, this magical serum starts working within just one week. Simply use twice daily, after cleansing and toning, while rubbing it both on your face and neck. Let it sit for one minute to allow the serum to set — and as a result see: plumped fine lines, better hydrated skin and a silkier texture.

If you’ve been wondering how Pompeo looks so fresh on camera at 55, this serum in your answer. It brings a glow-boosting upgrade to your skin — and a spa-like experience to your skincare routine. After all, it’s good enough to replace Botox for an actress, it might just be your new holy grail favorite too.
