Hailey Bieber served up an outfit of the day pic that was as much a tribute to her glam as it was to her tan ruched cutout dress, which also flaunted her toned torso. “Latte makeup 🥛☕️☕️ but make it head 2 toe 🧸,” she captioned the carousel of images. Bieber wore her hair up in a slick bun and accessorized with big gold statement earrings and a wicker bag.

The photos got comments from Bieber’s friends Kylie Jenner (who wrote “gorgeous”) and Justine Skye (“No because the way you be eaten everyone up!? Are you not full!? Like can we get a plate !??? 🫴🏾”).

Bieber spoke to her husband Justin Bieber earlier this year for Vogue Australia about her best fashion advice. “My top wardrobe tip would be you can never go wrong with the basics,” she said. “By that I mean a great pair of jeans, a white tee, a good pair of loafers and a great leather jacket. I think you can never go wrong with those essentials.”

She also reflected on her biggest fashion regret, telling her husband that “I feel like I have a lot, but the biggest one that comes to mind in this moment is, a couple of years ago I wore this pink…it was this boxy-looking vest dress, and I thought it was going to be the cutest thing ever. I wore it, and I saw the photographs after and it legitimately looked like I was inside a box. I looked like a present, and it was so bad.”

Senior News and Strategy Editor

Alyssa Bailey is the senior news and strategy editor at ELLE.com, where she oversees coverage of celebrities and royals (particularly Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton). She previously held positions at InStyle and Cosmopolitan. When she’s not working, she loves running around Central Park, making people take #ootd pics of her, and exploring New York City.

When Rachel Zegler was initially cast in the role of Snow White in Disney’s live action remake of the animated film, online trolls went on the attack. At the time, fellow Disney Princess Halle Bailey backed her up, and she has come to support her again.

This week, after the Daily Mail shared photos taken on set in Bedfordshire, UK, people are harassing Zegler and anyone associated with the movie again. The photos show that Snow White’s titular seven dwarves are now a crew of characters who are quite diverse in height, age, race, and gender. The cast has changed considerably, especially since Greta Gerwig co-wrote the movie and excised the Prince Charming from the script. It’s different from both Disney’s original and from the fairy tale first published by the Brothers Grimm. Zegler has talked about how the story needed “refreshing.”

“Never in a million years did I imagine that this would be a possibility for me,” she said. “You don’t normally see Snow Whites of Latin descent, even though Snow White is a big deal in Spanish-speaking countries. People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White . . . yeah, it is — because it needed that.”

She added, “It’s an 85-year-old cartoon and our version is a refreshing story about a young woman who has a function beyond ‘Someday My Prince Will Come.’”

In a now deleted tweet, Zegler also wrote, “Yes I am Snow White; no, I am not bleaching my skin for the role.”

With the new photos, trolls are bothering Zegler again. On Saturday, July 15, she asked to be left out of it.

“extremely appreciative of the love i feel from those defending me online, but please don’t tag me in the nonsensical discourse about my casting,” she wrote on Twitter. “i really, truly do not want to see it.so i leave you w these photos! i hope every child knows they can be a princess no matter what.”

The Little Mermaid actress quote-tweeted Zegler, writing, “we love you so much truly the perfect princess.”

Bailey has faced a lot of racism and hostility online since she was cast as the live-action Ariel for Disney’s recent wildly successful live-action remake, and is probably one of the few people who really understand what Zegler is facing right now.

On Saturday, Kate Middleton attended the women’s singles final at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club for Wimbledon dressed in fresh spring green. The Princess of Wales was in one of her favorite designers, Self-Portrait, posing in a blazer and matching skirt. The top was short-sleeved with a belt cinching in her waist, while the long skirt was a loose cut with pleats, swirling around her ankles.

She paired the outfit with an Emmy London clutch bag and nude-colored Gianvito Rossi slingback mules. For her other accessories, she wore Victoria Beckham sunglasses, a pair of Cassandra Goad, earrings and a Halcyon Days gold bangle.

The Princess’s hair was swept up halfway and then drifted down her back in gentle waves. She was wearing her usual natural makeup palette and a light pink lip.

The winner of the game was 24-year-old Marketa Vondrousova, playing against Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur, taking home the Venus Rosewater Dish and £2.35 million. The Czech player is the first to win the title after entering the competition unseeded.

Middleton’s flower-shaped pearl cluster earrings have a special meaning in her family. She last wore them in July of 2018 during Prince Louis’ baptismal at the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace. The jewelry is very similar to late Queen Elizabeth’s favorites, her Queen Mary’s Floret earrings.

It was recently reported that Middleton’s voice was very important in the response to the incendiary interview conducted by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. Author Valentine Low wrote in his new book Courtiers that she was influential when the royal family was coming up with a statement about the Sussex’s allegations of racism and harassment within the royal family.

“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan,” it said at the time. “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately… Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

An insider told Low, “It had a much milder version… The debate was, do your rise entirely above it and offer the olive branch of (Harry and Meghan being) ‘much loved members of the family’? Or is there some moment when you have to intervene and offer a view?”

The Waleses want something more definitive.

“They wanted it toughened up a bit,” the insider explained. “They were both of one mind that we needed something that said that the institution did not accept a lot of what had been said.”
