Alexandra Daddario Was Inspired by Meghan Markle’s Wedding Dress


The actress married Andrew Form in New Orleans, Louisiana, last year wearing a gown by Danielle Frankel.
There’s no denying that royal weddings have a lasting impacting on big-day trends for years to come. After Kate Middleton married Prince William, long-sleeve lace wedding dresses, soft wavy hairstyles, and petite bouquets reigned supreme for years. Similarly, when Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, her effortless updo and off-the-shoulder gown inspired countless brides-to-be to consider similar looks for their own weddings. One bride who says she looked to the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding-day look as she chose her own nuptial attire? Alexandra Daddario. The White Lotus actress married film producer Andrew Form in New Orleans in June of 2022, and she says that she took her own style cues from Meghan and that well-known Givenchy wedding dress.

In an interview with InStyle, the actress opens up about how she chose her ’20s-inspired wedding dress by Danielle Frankel. “I’m not the type of girl who’s dreamed of her wedding, I had no idea what I wanted to wear, but I knew I didn’t want it to be super traditional,” she says. As she began seeking out the right big-day look for her—one that felt right for the location without being too stuffy—she considered the looks worn by notable brides who came before her. “I guess I was kind of thinking Meghan Markle,” she tells the outlet.
While her pleated gown—complete with thin floral straps—looked entirely unlike Meghan’s silk organza wedding dress, which featured a bateau neckline and three-quarter length sleeves, Daddario’s decision to wear something unique, comfortable, and entirely her own certainly aligns with the Duchess of Sussex’s own approach to wedding-day fashion. “That was just the one that felt right, and I didn’t overthink it, and I just went with my gut,” Daddario tells InStyle of how she ultimately chose her wedding dress.

And though Daddario’s wedding dress might not resemble the one Meghan worn down the aisle, it does bear a resemblance to the Duchess of Sussex’s reception look. Meghan traded her Givenchy gown for Stella McCartney number with a halter neckline, and the skirt of that dress does look quite similar to the one Daddario donned for her celebration.
Daddario and Form got engaged in April of 2022, which meant they dreamed up their big day in just about two months. To pull of their plans, the pair tapped wedding planner Michelle Norwood to help design and orchestrate the event, then chose Preservation Hall as their wedding venue. Photographer Storm Santos documented every special detail of the day. “We were trying to achieve a laid-back aesthetic,” Daddario told Vogue last year. “We loved the look of Preservation Hall—it was so old, so historic, it lets its age and ‘flaws’ show. That’s what makes it so beautiful. We wanted it to be about music, drinking, and authentic New Orleans.”

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
