7 New Wedding Dress Trends Every Bride-to-Be Needs to See

Wedding dress trends are a funny thing. Unlike ready-to-wear fashion, styles don’t change massively from season to season. For the most part, the dresses are white, floor-length and often topped with dreamy details like embroidery or lace. But every bride-to-be knows it’s the details that make the dress special enough for once-in-a-lifetime wear. That’s just what we spotted at Bridal Fashion Week: exciting and elegant twists on the traditional here-comes-the-bride attire. From frilly flair like voluminous skirts and sheer overlays to offbeat silhouettes like pant suits and tiered ball gowns, the showings left us with a whole bunch of predictions about what brides will be walking down the aisle in this time next year (or maybe even before then!). Here’s a look at seven new trends that will be BIG in 2016.

1. Accent Sash: Spotted at Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera and Jenny Packham were white dresses topped with a contrasting colored sash. It’s a fun — and totally DIY-able — idea if you want to add a pop of color to your ensemble without going for a fully colored dress. It could also be a great way to compliment your bouquet or bridesmaids – or both. (Photos via Slaven Vlasic/Thomas Concordia/Getty)

2. Ball Gown Skirts: While there was a fair share of slim silhouettes, dramatic ball gown skirts reigned supreme. The dressed debuted at Reem Acra, Badgley Mischka and Ines Di Santo looked like something straight out of a Cinderella movie, and that’s by no means a bad thing. You might have trouble fitting it into your limo, but you’ll spend the day feeling like a real-life princess. (Photos via Randy Brooke/Jemal Countess/Getty)

3. Tiered Skirts: Taking the full skirt one step further, these tiered skirts aren’t for the shy bride. But if you’re up for rocking a dramatic style, this is a surefire way to get a whole lot of volume with a fun + flirty ruffle element added in. (Photos via Thomas Concordia/Slaven Vlasic/Getty)

4. Embellished Sleeves: Piggybacking off the trend we saw a whole lot of during award show season, embellishments were all over the bridal runways, not only on the bodice, but on the sleeves as well. Whether it was pearls or crystal beading, those added touches are an ultra-elegant way to add a serious glam to your dress. (Photos via Jemal Countess/Thomas Concordia/Getty)

5. Partial Overlay: Spotted at Theia, Galia Lahav and Monique Lhuillier, this romantic skirt style overlays an accent fabric atop an otherwise classic dress. We’re thinking it looks a little bit like the most elegant kind of cape your hips could possibly sport. (Photos via Thomas Concordia/Jemal Countess/Thos Robinson/Getty)

6. Pant Suits: Don’t feel like wearing a dress? Ditch it for one of these crisp pantsuits from Theia, Naeem Khan or Carolina Herrera. But you should be forewarned, you just might end up rocking a suit better the groom. (Photos via Thos Robinson/Randy Brooke/Jemal Countess/Getty)

7. Separates: This trend has been appearing in bridal fashion for awhile now, but has cemented itself as a style of our time this season. Whether you opt to show a little bit of mid-drift or choose a skin-shielding two-piece, this is an easy way to add a modern spin to an otherwise classic ensemble. (Photos via Randy Brooke/Getty)

Sorry 'Landman' Fans, [SPOILER] Didn't Make It Out Of The Finale Alive

Landman fans, how we feeling? The first season of Taylor Sheridan's new drama came to a close on January 12 with the season finale, "The Crumbs of Hope," and it provided viewers with plenty of to think about as tensions between the cartel and M-Tex Oil came to a head — and one character suffered a potentially-fatal medical emergency.

Here's everything you need to know about the Landman season finale, including THAT (potential) character death.

What happens in the last episode of Landman?

Emerson Miller/Paramount+

The last episode of Landman opens after Monty's (Jon Hamm) ruptured aortic aneurysm in episode 9 lands him in the hospital for a heart transplant...if they can find a new heart in time. (I'm getting flashbacks to Dan's heart transplant catastrophe in One Tree Hill). But based on the fact Monty flatlines and Cami (Demi Moore) and their daughters cry over his bed, things aren't looking hopeful.

Meanwhile, Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) takes over as M-Tex Oil president, and as he works on smoothing things over between the cartel and the oil company, he gets kidnapped by the cartel, who also blow up an oil tank and drive a nail into Tommy's leg for good measure. But just when it looks like Tommy might meet his end, cartel leader Galino (Andy Garcia) wipes out the other members and helps him escape.

Billy Bob and Andy have actually been friends for awhile, but this is the first time they've acted onscreen together! "Andy is such a great guy and great actor, and when we did those scenes at the end of the last episode, it felt so good, because we kind of had us two old veterans going head to head,” Billy Bob Thornton told Variety. “It was quite an experience, and I have to say every moment of it felt real. Tommy’s dealing with someone now who is really smart. The other guys were hired to work for him, but now Tommy’s talking to the man himself. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. Since he is so smart, who knows what Tommy is going to get tricked into?”

How did Landman end last night?

Landman season 1 ends with Tommy returning home with a proposition (er, more like a friendly demand) from Galino that the oil business and the cartel become allies. After all, the cartel's interested in taking part in the industry — and seeing what it has to offer.

“The cartel and the oil industry are kind of these odd neighbors living side by side in West Texas,” co-creator Christian Wallace tells Variety. “Now Andy’s character is thinking he is going to make a change and utilize that proximity in a way that could benefit him.”

Hopefully Paramount+ greenlights Landman season 2 so we can see just what happens between Galino and Tommy in the future...and if Monty makes it out of the hospital alive.

'A Simple Favor 2' Director Has The Best Response To Rumors Blake Lively Delayed The Film

And after the feud was uncovered, the internet has spiraled over what Blake Lively's relationships with her other costars are like — and whether what's happening behind the scenes of her movies are going to delay them. Well, A Simple Favor 2 director Paul Feig had the perfect response to rumors that another feud between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick caused Amazon to shelve the movie.

When a viral tweet claimed that Amazon had indefinitely delayed A Simple Favor 2 because of a feud between Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, director Paul Feig stepped in to clear up the rumors.

"Despite glowing test screenings, Blake Lively’s refusal to promote—amid her messy legal battle with Justin Baldoni—and growing tensions with Anna Kendrick have derailed the sequel," X user Eric B tweeted on January 10. "Anna is furious. Paul Feig is disappointed. Hollywood is in shock. This isn’t just a movie—it’s an implosion."

"This is total BS. Sorry," Feig said in his retweet that same day. "The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days."

And Anna Kendrick says reuniting with Blake Lively was "lovely."

Anna Kendrick also spilled on reuniting with Blake Lively, claiming that working together felt "a little bit like riding a bike."

"She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don't get to see each other often," she told PEOPLE. "But it was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it's so fun to just get the gang back together."

We don't know many details about the plot just yet but we do know it involves a destination wedding — and Blake Lively's Emily in a very fancy wedding dress. Stephanie and Emily "head to the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman," according to the movie's synopsis (via People). "Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square."
