Est. 2017
Meghan joined Harry in Bath, England today for the 2018 Invictus Games trials. Frequent Royals watchers will remember that Harry and Meghan’s first public appearance as a couple was at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto. The games are also Harry’s personal cause célèbre – one inspired by his experiences as a soldier in Afghanistan. So, obviously these two were going to show up today!

It’s been way too long since we checked in on Kate, Meghan, and their respective Princes.
When we last saw Kate, she was attending the BAFTA’s in a dress that attempted to be respectful of #MeToo, while not actively participating. She was out and about a ton the last month and a half, which makes sense since she’ll likely be out of commission for a while after Baby Cambridge #3 comes this month.
We last saw Meghan on her visit to Edinburgh. Since then, she and Harry have made a few more appearances. They joined Kate and Will at the Royal Foundation Forum and visited Birmingham while wearing great coats. Meghan also made her first official appearance alongside the Queen for Commonwealth Day as well as her first visit to Northern Ireland.
There’s a lot after the jump, but stick with me! Make sure to read to the end for some bits and bobs of other Royals news. Let’s dive in!

Guys. This is it. This final post of awards season. It’s been a completely wild few months – from launching this thing soon after the Emmys, to closing out the busy season with the last two weeks of Oscars coverage. I’ve had a blast and want to thank each and every person who has stuck with me and kept reading!
And while awards season may be over, stay tuned for a lot of great stuff over the next few months. Next week we’ll be catching up with Will and Kate and Meghan and Harry who got up to all sorts of fun while I was busy blogging about awards season. Both Cannes and the Met Ball are coming up in May, as well as the terribly exciting Royal Wedding. So thanks for being here, and thanks for continuing to be here! xx

A handful of musicians (or general music-film multihyphenates) attended the Vanity Fair and Elton John after parties.
Janelle Monáe in Christian Siriano
Embed from Getty ImagesTHIS. I’m in awe. This is absolutely sublime: it’s exceedingly HER, while also being completely different (re: a color) than what she usually wears. An excellent collaboration with flawless execution. And if you haven’t checked out the two new songs she dropped a few weeks ago, please check them out. They’re virtually impossible not to dance to.
Models did model things: expect much sheerness and shortness, some successes, and something that makes me suicidal with disgust. I have placed these in order from YES to DEAR GOD NO.
Naomi Campbell in Alexandre Vauthier

A whole bunch of folks changed before they headed to the perennial Vanity Fair shindig. Some for the better…some, not so much.
Zendaya in Michael Kors
Embed from Getty ImagesShe is positively statuesque. Is there a Zendaya Barbie yet? If not, there should be, and she should wear this dress. I’m surprised at how much I like it – I don’t usually gravitate towards non-colors. It’s the Zendaya Effect: she can convince you of just about anything.

These posts took much longer than I anticipated – battling my third virus of the winter season took up a lot of quality blogging time. Many thanks to everyone reading for their patience! Here are the rest of the red carpet looks from last Sunday’s ceremony. Stay tuned for coverage of the after parties this week, as well as some posts catching up with Kate and Meghan across the pond.
Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton
Embed from Getty ImagesI predicted Emma would go with something custom from Louis Vuitton – if only because everything that came down their runway was awful. I like this more than I thought I would although I wish the fit was a bit more carefully tailored.
There was a decent amount of shiny…but the magpie in me ALWAYS wants more glitter.
Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior
Embed from Getty ImagesI can 100% guarantee that this is the first and only time Jennifer Lawrence + Dior = Good. Their partnership has produced less than stellar results, but this is really superb – and as a bonus, was one of my picks! I love how it looks different on stage from on the red carpet – it has a very liquid quality to it. Oh, and it also looks good when you’re heaving your wine-drunk ass over a row of chairs. Never change, Jen.
This was one of the largest categories of the night – sometimes I think awards show fatigue sets in and folks phone it in or go too “safe” for the big dance.
Allison Williams in Armani Privé
Embed from Getty ImagesI am a big fan of Allison’s style, but this is too pale for my taste. I see what they were going for and in almost any other color I would probably love it.

From the highs of Jennifer and Nicole’s royal blues to the lows of whatever the hell awful color Emily Blunt was wearing…
Nicole Kidman in Armani Privé
Embed from Getty ImagesI keep going back and forth on this one. I adore the color and the unique texture. And the bow is basically something only Nicole could pull off. But the “rabbit ears” bust throws me. If it were a bit less Jessica Rabbit I think I would be 100% on board. As it stands…I’m at 92%.
