We’ve reached the end of another week, and it’s time to catch up on all the eventful news our readers may have missed. This compilation explores the widely talked about eye-catching ensembles worn by noteworthy stars, that caused commotions online. From Angelina Jolie’s “drape curtain” gown to Suri Cruise’s “very revealing” outfit, we’ve got you covered with the juicy scoop.

Was the Blue Floral Dress Worn by Princess Catherine’s Mom “Frumpy”?

Carole Middleton, mother to the Princess of Wales, stepped out in style for day 2 of the prestigious Royal Ascot on June 19. Opting for a classy summer vibe, she donned a blue floral-print dress that flowed down to her ankles. While some were enthralled with her radiant look, others felt differently.

Complementing her all-blue ensemble that had a neatly tied bow by the collar, Carole, who was accompanied by her dapperly-dressed husband, Michael Middleton, paired her dress with a matching flower headband hat.

She also wore closed-toe heels that were in a darker shade of blue and carried a dark blue handbag with flowers on it. Accessory-wise, Carole wore beautiful dangling diamond earrings.

Several pictures captured on the day show her happily engaging with the various guests, which notably included her son-in-law, Prince William. Images display the Prince of Wales, who wore a top hat, a lengthy suit jacket, and gray dress pants, embodying his gentleman persona, helping escort Carole around the space.

Observers are divided in their thoughts concerning how Carole appeared at this year’s Royal Ascot. Some believe she did not look her best, posting comments that criticized what she wore.

“No, I don’t like that. It’s frumpy and hides her fantastic figure. Singularly unremarkable,” wrote a social media user. Another agreed, expressing, “Must admit i normally love her outfits but this dress did nothing for her.”

On the other hand, some people thought Carole looked beautiful. They showered her with compliments that praised her appearance. “I adore this dress!!! Perfect for the occasion!! And she looks beautiful!!🙌🤍💙,” gushed a fan.

Another admirer followed suit, commenting, “Love it!” while someone else simply stated, “Classy!” A fan on Instagram chimed in with, “kate got carole’s looks for sure […] 😍.” Another particularly impressed fan swooned, “The Middleton family look like a really close knit, loving family – that’s the life goals I aspire to.”

Those who had nothing but positive sentiments to express regarding Carole’s classy dress might be interested to know that the lovely garment was designed by Self Portrait. The dress is purchasable online on Endource for $355.68 (£280) and is called the Tie-Neck Floral-Print Chiffon Midi Dress.

Described appropriately as having “an elegant mid-century feel,” Carole’s dress was perfectly paired with her stunning Electra Sky & London Blue Topaz earrings designed by Emily Mortimer Jewellery.

Her chic dark blue, floral purse comes from none other than the popular fashion brand Kate Spade New York. It’s called the Alpine Drive Mackie, comes with the option of a short and long strap, and the price has been marked down to $170.26 (£134). Unfortunately, due to its incredible popularity, the bag is currently out of stock.

Although different in terms of accessories and design, Carole’s outfit somewhat mimics the all-blue look her daughter wore at the Royal Ascot in 2019. Pictures of the princess show her adorning a similar light blue dress that also came fitted with a bow, although hers did not have floral designs on it.

How Does Goldie Hawn’s Figure Look at 78 in a One-Piece Swimsuit?

Goldie Hawn recently showcased a stylish look during her vacation in Skiathos, Greece with longtime partner Kurt Russell. She wore a black backless swimsuit with a printed scarf wrapped around her waist. She tied her messy blonde hair with a white clamp, allowing a few strands to fall across her face. Her relaxed look, however, was criticized.

One bewildered netizen who saw the 78-year-old actress’s photo on social media remarked, “Eternally youthful?????” However, another countered, suggesting people let Hawn and Russell vacation in peace, saying, “Leave them alone.”

Adding to her relaxed beach ensemble, Hawn completed her look with dark sunglasses and white strappy sandals. Russell sported black shorts, a grey baseball cap, and a long-sleeved dark blue shirt. He was also seen shirtless at one point.

More netizens aired their reactions online. A disappointed person criticized Russell’s shirtless style, stating, “That’s great! Now, please put on a shirt.”

One naysayer suggested that Hawn and Russell should consider dressing more conservatively, commenting, “There comes a time when people should reconsider what they wear… some form of a cover-up would be appropriate here.”

Another questioned whether the couple in the photos were actually the celebrity couple, noting, “That doesn’t even look like them.”

Amid the criticisms thrown at the longtime pair, some netizens came to Hawn and Russell’s defense. A supportive fan expressed admiration for Hawn and Russell’s youthful looks, writing, “I just love Goldie, she is my idol. I hope I look like that at her age rather than some of the Pete Burns look-alikes 👀 I still think he is hot too.”

Another netizen brings some perspective about aging to the critics, remarking, “They look like an older couple, just like the rest of us.”

Why Was Angelina Jolie’s Gown at the Tony Awards Called a “Drape Curtain”?

Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie bagged her first Tony Award at the recent Tony Awards held at the Lincoln Center. She took to the stage accompanied by her 15-year-old daughter Vivienne, and they both rocked green outfits.

Vivienne wore a charming teal tuxedo suit that consisted of tailored pants and a matching vest over a crisp white dress shirt. She complimented the look with a matching bow tie and added a casual touch to her look with white sneakers. Her light brown hair was parted in the middle and left down, framing her face in a simple, natural style.

Jolie, on the other hand, wore a stunning, floor-length, seafoam-green gown. The dress featured a draped, off-the-shoulder neckline and intricate ruching across the bodice, which highlighted her slim figure.

The velvet gown, a creation of Atelier Versace, flowed into a graceful train, adding a sense of grandeur to her look. She kept her accessories minimal, allowing her natural elegance to shine. Her new bird tattoo subtly peeked through, adding a personal touch to the ensemble without overpowering the dress.

Her long, light brown hair was styled in soft waves, parted in the middle, and flowing over her shoulders. Her makeup was elegant and understated, featuring neutral tones that enhanced her natural beauty. She completed the look with simple yet elegant gold hoop earrings.

The duo’s striking appearance didn’t go unnoticed. Vogue Magazine posted the images and videos of Jolie and Vivienne on Instagram, referring to their red carpet presence as “a united mother-daughter fashion moment that completely stole the show.”

Adding to the admiration, Donatella Versace also posted images of the pair from the event. She praised the actress for wearing the piece and even gave a little history of the dress.

“You look so beautiful. I love that you celebrate Atelier Versace craftsmanship. This dress was created in 2013 and I remember you had huge creative input in the design… Artists supporting artists is so important!” she wrote.

People also took to various social media platforms to show their enthusiasm about the actress and her daughter’s looks. One praised Jolie, “That is one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen,” while another seconded the sentiments, writing, “Angie is the most beautiful woman alive.”

A second camp praised the actress’ choice of hair color, “Angelina looks so stunning with honey blonde hair.” However, some preferred Jolie with darker hair, “She looks great but I prefer her natural darker brunette!!”

“I want the hair slightly darker but dress and her vibe is BEYOND [sic],” said another, a sentiment that another fan agreed with, “She looks great & the dress is sitting just right. Def agree that darker hair would’ve really brought the look together!”

The verdict on Jolie’s look being elegant was not unanimous, and she received criticism in equal measure. Others thought the dress did not look as stylish as many claimed it to be. “Angelina looks like a velvet drape curtain,” wrote a reader.

Another chipped in, “That dress reminds me of old fashion curtains/drapes….ugh looks heavy.” “Stylish?” wondered another Facebook user who also said, “They look frumpy, both of them.”

Despite the divided opinions among viewers, it was a big day for Jolie, who bagged her first Tony as a producer of the musical “The Outsiders,” adapted from S.E. Hinton’s 1967 coming-of-age novel.

The production garnered four prestigious awards, including Outstanding Lighting Design, Outstanding Lighting Design of a Musical, Outstanding Sound Design of a Musical, and Best Direction of a Musical. This triumph also marked a milestone for Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, who earned recognition as a producer’s assistant on the musical.

Suri and Toby, are both graduates of LaGuardia High School. The two will be heading to different colleges. Suri is set to join Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, while Cohen is heading to Berklee College of Music in Boston.

Upon seeing the photos, Curious netizens became eager to learn more about Suri’s prom date, Toby. He is an aspiring singer and songwriter. Toby showcases his musical talents on social media, sharing videos of his covers of popular songs, and he is also a talented, pianist and guitarist.

Why Were People Confused by Katy Perry’s Figure in a White Bikini?

Katy Perry is unleashing her wild side, causing quite the buzz! On Monday, June 17, the pop sensation dropped a sultry photo, flaunting her toned figure. In the snapshot, the “Roar” singer stuns in a daring white bikini, adding a futuristic twist with black armored legs that give her a partial robot look.

The post, which has already racked up nearly a million likes, also served as an announcement for her new song, “Woman’s World.” Perry excitedly revealed the release dates: “WOMAN’S WORLD. SONG JULY 11. VIDEO JULY 12. PRE-SAVE + PRE-ORDER. GET READY TO POP OFF. KATYPERRY.COM,” she wrote.

To amp up the anticipation, Perry shared a video of herself in the same bold outfit, singing a line from her upcoming track. The clip features her whipping her hair and pulling the camera closer to showcase her ensemble, adding to the excitement.

Fans had mixed reactions to the daring post. One astonished fan commented, “Doesn’t even look like Katy.” A curious follower asked, “Umm, what happened to Katy Perry? She does not look the same.”

A more conservative critic expressed disappointment, saying, “You have forgotten where you came from! We don’t want to see that image! So disappointed!” Another user suggested a wardrobe upgrade, “She’s wealthy enough to buy a bikini top that fits.”

In a candid past interview, Perry revealed that her cup size didn’t fit her chest while she was modeling her makeup collaboration with Cover Girl cosmetics.
