Olivia Palermo marries Johannes Huebl in Carolina Herrera

Confusion over - Olivia Palermo really has married model Johannes Huebl.
The stylish socialite, 28, confirmed the nuptials, which took place on Saturday, June 28 in Bedford, New York, by posting a series of happy photographs from the occassion on her official website.
The wedding comes just days after it was claimed the couple had married secretly in New York on June 21 as German Huebl's visa was about the run out.
Shooting down those rumors, the couple posted two glamorous photos and a short article describing their special day.
Olivia Palermo and Johannes Huebl on their wedding day
Palermo took an original approach to bridalwear, sporting a pair of cream shorts with a full tulle skirt overlay that "cinched at the waist in layers of satin and silk and featured a high slit in the front with floral details along the hem", both by Carolina Herrera. She paired the unusual bottom half with a plain cream cashmere sweater. She kept her accessories suitably ecclectic, sporting stud earrings by Alexandra Mor and a bracelet bought while visiting Jodhpur, India.
29-year-old Huebl, meanwhile, complimented her perfectly in a white, bespoke Marc Anthony Hamburg suit.
"I wanted the makeup to be light and fresh and more focused about the lashes while keeping the eyes clean. My hair was in an uncontrived pony tail, one of my favorite personal looks," said Palermo of her beauty look.
Both made sure they had their traditional something blue - Palermo with a pair of deep blue Manolo Blahnik heels and Huebl with a navy Charvet tie and navy Etro pocket square.

"We really wanted to keep this beautiful day very private and special to us and enjoyed the whole day with our family and two friends. Bedford is such an amazing and romantic countryside," said Palermo of the small celebration.

Say Yes to a Cheaper Wedding Dress

Bride and Groom
You want this once-in-a-lifetime outfit to look great. But that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on your dress (or the groom's suit). Try out one of these ideas for paying less.1. Make the Dress Your “Something Old”
“Shop your mom’s closet and have her wedding dress customized to fit your style, or hit up some consignment shops and see what they have. I’ve stumbled across some gorgeous raw silk wedding gowns at Goodwill that were selling for a steal (think $20 to $50). The fabric alone is worth way more than that, and you could easily take the dress to a seamstress and have her re-work the style for a fraction of the cost of a new dress. While it wasn’t my actual wedding, for a wedding shoot in Paris with my husband I wore my mom’s wedding dress from the ’60s. It has a mod vibe, so it still felt current.”
2. Score the Store Sample
“If you can find a discontinued dress, you will get an even bigger savings. The shop has to get rid of the sample since they can’t order the dress after discontinuation. So you are doing the shop a favor by taking it out the door. These dresses have often been tried on before, but so has most of the clothing you buy in any store, so that shouldn’t be a deterrent.”
3. Hunt for Designer Discounts
“Shop sites like NearlyNewlywed.com andPreOwnedWeddingDresses.com to find designer dresses at a discount, or check out local bridal shops when they are hosting sample sales to score a major deal on your wedding dress.”
4. Look Past the Wedding Label
“One of the best ways to save is get a white dress that is not marketed as a wedding dress. If you still want that more traditional wedding look or a more classic dress, I like to look at bridesmaid dress options that come in white.”
5. Adopt a More Casual Look
If planning a beach or destination wedding, there’s no need to go all out with a wedding dress. Check the clearance racks and even consider a cocktail dress (maybe one with a bit of color). Any dress can be fancied up with a colorful sash or even a pretty crocheted vest or shrug. I mention this because I recently featured a shoot that showcased an $8 dress from Target on clearance. It could easily work for a bride that wanted to wear a dress in a pastel color. It looked beautiful with a crocheted vest over it.”
6. Ditch the Tuxedo
“For the guys, consider suits instead of full-blown tuxes. You can get a ton of mileage out of a good suit, and stores like J. Crew and Banana Republic sell them for not-so-staggering prices.”
7. Go In as a Group

“Many of the major tuxedo stores will offer a group discount, and often the groom will get his tux for free with a certain number of groomsmen rentals. Be sure to ask about these discounts before ordering. Also, associates will add all accessories at the time of rental (cufflinks, pocket squares, shoes), but not all of them may be required for rental. Ask if anything can be removed. Your groomsmen might all have their own black shoes and can save money by not renting them.”

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Bra In Backless Shirt

We all know that the reality star has no problem going braless, so why did she decide to show off her undergarment on Monday in Calabasas? Kim put her bra on full display, and we aren’t sure how we feel about it. Do you think Kim’s look is sexy or too showy?
You don’t have to look too closely to see what is missing from Kim’s all white outfit! Kim Kardashian, 33, sported a completely backless top while shopping in Calabasas on June 23, but that wasn’t event the shocking part! Kim displayed her bra in a not so subtle way. Tell us what you think about the look!
Kim Kardashian’s Bra Outfit:
Kim wore a white long-sleeved crop top with a form-fitting pencil skirt and strappy heels. The all-white ensemble looked ordinary from the front, but the back view caused a double take! It seems that the star purposely flaunted her white bra while on a shopping trip. While Kim made an edgy statement and looked amazing flaunting her curves, we aren’t totally on board with the visible strap.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star definitely could have worn something less eye-catching. A bralette with a thicker, lacier band would have made the look more deliberate rather than revealing the clasp of her bra. Even an adhesive backless bra would have made us love the outfit more. The look could have easily been toned down a bit with the right apparel — and considering this hot mama is a pro at showing off sexy looks we were surprised she flashed her bra!
Kim Kardashian Flashes Bra:
Typically flashing your bra can be very sloppy, but perhaps Kim was hoping to start a new trend — after all, the look did seem a bit Carrie Bradshaw. If she is trying to make it work, it isn’t our favorite!
Not only did the bra draw our attention to her back, but the cut of the undergarment wasn’t completely flattering on Kim’s figure — it didn’t do her any favors in this instance.
Kim almost always dresses her shape so well, and she has access to tons of designer garments, so this doesn’t make a lot of sense to us.

Even though we aren’t on board with the visible bra, Kim did look gorgeous while wearing her hair down and parted in the middle. What do you think? Did Kim’s fashion risk totally pay off or was it a major miss?

Kanye West Reveals Annie Leibovitz Backed Out The Day Before Wedding

Although the couple spent months planning their elaborate nuptials in Florence the famed photog, (who shot the couple for their very first ‘Vogue’ cover), backed out of shooting their wedding the DAY before — and Kanye admits it majorly pissed off Kim!
Can you imagine if, just one day before your special wedding day your photographer cancelled on you? Well, that’s exactly what happened to Kimye!Kanye West, 37, spoke at the Cannes Lions Festival on June 17 in Cannes, France, where he shared a last minute mishap that happened right before the famous couple said “I Do.” Apparently it took the duo FOUR days to release their first official wedding photo because they wanted it to look exactly like Annie Leibovitz‘s photos, even though the photog backed out of shooting the ceremony just a day before — and Kanye’s new bride, Kim Kardashian, was not happy about the process.
Annie Leibovitz Kanye West & Kim Kardashian’s Wedding:
“I’ll tell you a little story about the kiss photo that my girl put up,” Kanye revealed. “We – and this was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon. She was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out of the wedding, because I think she was scared of the idea of celebrity.”
Although Annie backed out of shooting the couple, their first official wedding photo, (which was released on May 27), was still stunning. “But because Annie pulled out, I was like, ‘I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz’s photos,’ and we sat there and worked on that photo for four days – because the flowers were off-color and stuff like that,” he shared.
Kanye admits that he’s a perfectionist — even when it comes to creating the perfect Instagram! “Can you imagine telling someone who wants to just Instagram a photo, who’s the number one person on Instagram, ‘We need to work on the color of the flower wall,’ or the idea that it’s a Givenchy dress, and it’s not about the name Givenchy, it’s about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci – and how important Kim is to the internet,” he explained.
Well, it certainly looks like all the hard work paid off — the image has received over 2 million links and more than 35,000 comments. “And the fact the number one most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette.”
Annie Leibovitz Shoots Kimye For ‘Vogue’:
Although she backed out of capturing their nuptials, she did shoot the couple for their Voguecover and shoot – I wonder what made her cancel on the couple.

What do you think of Kanye admitting it took four days to perfect their wedding photo? Do you think it was rude of Anne to back out last minute?

The Baywatch actress gave a boost to her 5ft 7in height wih a pair of strappy silver heels, while thick lashings of mascara highlighted her blue eyes.
She wore her short pixie 'do in loose curls, and colour-coordinated with a floppy white clutch.
A lashing of rosey blush and a slick of light pink lipstick polished off the look.
Pamela later rubbed elbows with Italian Vogue Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani, Ertharin Cousin - the Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme - and Tiziana Rocca, who serves as the Festival General Manager.
The three ladies looked happy to be attending the film festival, which was touted as '60 years of women and their impact,' Variety reports.
The famed vegetarian took to Facebook to share a photo of her picturesque surroundings, captioning the photo: 'Sitting in the (2400 year old) theatre of antiquity - sparks from Etna today Taormina #endworldhunger #italianfilmfestival.'
Earlier that day, the mother-of-two opted for a more demure outfit as she arrived to the film festival in a luxurious red car.
The Stacked star looked elated as she stepped out of her vehicle to a crowd of eager fans awaiting her arrival on the street.
While navigating through the throng, Pamela opted for a more incognito look with a pair of black shades.
Meanwhile, the actress' upcoming film Vernon God Little is currently in post-production.
She will star opposite Mike Tyson and Russell Brand on a film that focuses on a Texas teenager, whose best friend embarks on a shooting rampage at their school, IMDB reports.
The actress - who is married to Rick Solomon, recently raved about her husband at the Cannes Film Festival: 'He is the only man besides my boys that I trust.
'His way of helping the world to be a better place is by caring for me, protecting me and making me happy. I am so proud of him.'

It was during that speech that she opened up about the sexual attacks she endured during her childhood, stating she was 'molested at six, raped at 12 and gang-raped in her teens.'

Kate Middleton observed the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Les Bains, France on June 6, 2014. The 32-year-old Duchess of Cambridge was in one of her fabulous signature hats, and a beautiful blue coat that made her look classy and chic. But while her outfit was adorable, her shiny hair and rosy blush were definitely our favorite part! Keep reading below to find out how you can get Kate’s pretty pink look.
Kate Middleton D Day Ceremony Makeup
Kate Middleton’s D-Day Ceremony Makeup — Rosy Glow At Arromaches Beach
Kate truly looks like a modern day princess every time she steps out in one of her chic and classic outfits.
The Duchess’s style has been renowned worldwide, but her hair and makeup should not be overlooked! Kate manages to look classic and beautiful every time she makes an appearance, and her look at this patriotic event is no exception.
Kate paired her beautifully shiny hair with nude lipstick with a beautiful blush that we just loved! To get a rosy glow similar to this royal, we recommend TARTE’s cheek Stain.
This product is a great way to get a natural flush without going overboard! The blush features an easy to use glide on design that is nice and compact, so it will fit right in your bag if you are on the go. Since this is a cheek stain, the color will really stay on all day in case you’re busy like our favorite Duchess.
Getting the Perfect Shade
Rosy cheeks are a great look but buying the right product is only half of the battle! To find your perfect shade, you should pay close attention to your undertone. How warm or cool the color of your undertone is will change the shade of your blush.
Find your perfect shade by glancing in the mirror after working out — that’s your natural flush.

We think Kate looks absolutely stunning, and with the right product and the perfect shade, you will look amazing, too!

Serena Williams Crashes A Wedding In A Leopard Bathing Suit

Boy, does Serena never fail to surprise us! The tennis star took to Instagram to show off a hysterical shot with a bride and groom — but her leopard one-piece might have been a bit too formal for a wedding!
Serena Williams posted a hysterical photo on her Instagram account stating, “Wedding crasher!! Congrats!” on May 31, which showed the 32-year-old athlete smiling in the middle of a bride and groom in Miami Beach — but while they were all clad in their best formal attire, Serena was only wearing a leopard one-piece, (and we can’t get enough of it).

The star was vacationing with fellow tennis pro and pal Caroline Wozniacki. Aside from hitting the beach in style, the gals were also spotted at Miami Heat’s Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers on May 30.
The tennis pro not only crashed the couple’s wedding, but she crashed it in an ANIMAL PRINT, ONE PIECE bathing suit. Sure, Serena looks out of place — but it isn’t every day a celebrity turns up to fete your nuptials! While she was dressed out of place we’re sure the couple was thrilled to have her make their special day even more momentous.

Serena seemed to really love her animal-print bathing suit as she also posted another picture of her body, which showed off her backside with the caption: “Just Right.” Serena still looks fabulous and fit from her Instagram photo and is definitely one funny chick!
