7 Royal Traditions to Expect at Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s Wedding

Megan Parry
Apr 07, 2018

As the wedding date for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle approaches, we’re starting to catch glimpses into the particulars of their big day. From inviting thousands of members of the public to the ceremony, to Markle’s planned speech at the reception, to their own boundary-breaking union, the couple is obviously not only committed to each other, but to making their celebration a modern one, full of personal details that reflect their relationship. But that doesn’t mean they’re foregoing all tradition — there will be plenty of the pomp, circumstance, and haberdashery that fascinate us all, regardless of where we live. Read on for some of the best royal wedding traditions we can expect to see on May 19!

1. Get permission first. All royal descendants seeking to get engaged must first ask the royal sovereign’s permission first, and we find the thought of Prince Harry asking Queen Elizabeth for her blessing to marry Markle quite sweet. Obviously, she’s fully supportive of the couple’s union!

2. The bridal party could be basically babies. Traditionally, the bridal party consists of the youngest members of the royal family — usually girls between the ages of 10 and 12 accompany the bride down the aisle. Of course, Kate Middleton famously broke with this tradition when she named her 27 year-old sister Pippa Middleton as her maid of honor, and we’re excited to see who Markle will choose (other than Princess Charlotte, of course!).

3. Forget business causal. In “no duh” news, royal weddings require seriously formal dress. This means ladies should be dressed “appropriately for church” — which for the British royal family means covered shoulders, a hat, and modest, subdued colors. And absolutely, positively no cream, ivory, or white, as that range of color belongs firmly to the bride, a tradition started by Queen Victoria on her own wedding day in 1840. Men should wear formal military dress, a morning suit, or a lounge suit.

4. The queen reigns. Many of the most strident royal wedding rules regard the queen herself. There’s a strict no hugging policy, and you may only shake her hand or speak to her if she presents her hand or speaks to you first. British citizens are required to bow or curtsy to the Queen when she enters and exits the church, and while Americans are not required to, they may do so out of respect. Need a quick refresher on your form? Ladies must place their right ankle behind their left and dip at the knee, with their arms at their sides and bowing their head slightly. Men should bend their elbows and place their hands, palms in, at their waist, then bend slightly at the waist while also bowing their head.

5. Celebrate flower power. The bride always carries a sprig of myrtle in her wedding bouquet, a tradition that dates back to Queen Victoria, as the flower is known affectionately as the “hero of love.” After the ceremony, the bride places her wedding bouquet at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, a thoughtful gesture first started by the late Queen Mother.

6. Gifts are required. We’re pretty confident that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do not have a Bed, Bath, and Beyond registry set up. So what’s a royal wedding guest to get the newly married pair? It’s widely accepted that a charitable donation (to the tune of $500 and up) is a perfect gift for a couple who definitely has it all.

7. Sending thank-yous is a piece of cake. Literally — royal wedding guests are mailed a slice of the cake as a thank-you for attending the event. While we think that’s definitely a sweet gesture (get it?), word is that the confections are often fruit cake flavored. It will be interesting to see if the American will go for that… unique flavor.

Donna Kelce Just Spoke On Those Viral Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Engagement Rumors

Ask literally any Swiftie and we'll say Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce are meant to be. Whether they're spending time together in Las Vegas, on a Bahamas vacation, or Travis is talking about the singer on his New Heights podcast, it's clear that they're in L-O-V-E. Well, apparently they're more in love than ever because according to ET (a publication that's accurately released news about the ultra-private singer before), Taylor & Travis could be saying "I do" before long.

Are Travis Kelce and Taylor engaged?

YouTube/Taylor Swift/UMG

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce haven't announced an engagement yet, but it looks like all our teen drama tropes about athletes and artists were true. According to an ET source, "Taylor and Travis are doing amazing, and their loved ones see an engagement coming sooner than later. They make a great match and there's no question about that."

However, that doesn't mean their family is clued into a potential engagement. “Nobody knows that,” Donna tells Page Six at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. “We will see what happens. You never know.”

This is one wedding I'll need ALL the details about if and when it should happen. Will Travis propose to "Love Story"? Will Taylor's cats be the ring bearers? (This would actually be so incredible and I would love to see it).

One thing I'm thinking about more than any other is Taylor Swift's wedding color palette. "The Alchemy" singer is such an intentional and detail-oriented person that I know she'll think about every little aspect of the day, including which colors to include in the ceremony and the reception. I would LOVE for the colors to feature gold because of how she sings about love being "golden like daylight." That would be such a beautiful, full circle moment!

On June 1, during the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend's onstage comedy sketch, actor Jason Sudeikis asked Travis Kelce about the potential engagement. "Hey Travis, real talk, OK, just the guys here," Jason says. "When are you going to make an honest woman out of her?"

"Guys," Travis responds, "you're really pushing it." TBH, if I had millions of people talking or asking about my relationship, I'd respond the exact same way!

Does Taylor Swift have an engagement ring?

@everything.norway Taylor Swift is engaged? 😳💍😂🤡@Taylor Nation @Taylor Swift #taylorswift#TheErasTour#theerastourwarsaw#taylorswiftwarsaw#swiftie#warsawpoland#theerastourwarsaw#theerastourwarsawn3♬ original sound - everything.norway

After Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Warsaw on August 3, fans are wondering if an announcement is coming soon. In a viral video during the Lover set, Taylor tells the crowd she's in a "fantastic mood tonight" and then visibly plays with a ring on her ring finger.

Naturally, TikTok's gone wild! "Went that night to the concert and IMMEDIATELY called that out," one user comments, while another says, "I think they have been since the Lake Como photos!...Their engagement announcement is beating my excitement for even Rep TV."

What do Taylor Swift's friends think about her relationship?

Taylor Swift/Instagram

Not only did the ET source talk about Taylor and Travis, but also their friendship with Gigi Hadid & Bradley Cooper! Doubles dates are always a good idea IMO and it's fun to see these A-listers living it up with their friends, too.

"Taylor, Travis, Gigi, and Bradley have a blast when they get together," the source continues. "They appreciate that they can all be themselves around each other and enjoy double dating and spending time with each other." Feeling inspired?

Forget Europe, Lake Geneva Has All The Charm You Need (And It’s Way Closer)

With fall in full swing, it's safe to say you may have already taken trips to a local pumpkin patch or made your way to a haunted house (or two) for Halloween. However, if you're looking for a perfect quaint fall getaway, then add Lake Geneva to the top of your list! Located in Wisconsin, Lake Geneva — not to be confused with the similarly named Swiss body of water — is a gorgeous midwest town located right next to the stunning, sprawling Geneva Lake. You'll find numerous hotels, local restaurants, boutique and shops throughout the city, offering up plenty to do.

Not sure where to start? Luckily for you, I took a trip to Lake Geneva last month, and I've rounded up a quick guide for where (and what) you'll want to check out during your visit.

PS: If you can't make it this fall, just imagine the winter wonderland you'll find this winter, or the summer oasis you'll savor all summer!

Where To Stay In Lake Geneva

Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

There are so many hotels to stay at in Lake Geneva, but there are definitely a few that really standout properties you should consider during your visit!

Grand Geneva Resort & Spa

The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is luxurious — yet somehow wonderfully quaint — property located an hour from Chicago that's great for your fall getaway. You'll find standard rooms and suites alongside a plethora of dining options and amenities to utilize during your stay including an indoor and outdoor pool, golf courses, a fitness center, a spa, and an on-site trolley. Plus, the resort has packages for the fall available where you can receive free rounds of golf during your stay on The Brute or The Highlands courses. Might I suggest sending the boys on a golfing spree while you and the girls savor the spa? 😉

Maxwell Mansion

Maxwell Mansion

Book lovers, this one's for you! The Maxwell Mansion is a boutique hotel that's two blocks away from Geneva Lake. The historic mansion has 28 rooms, some of which are inspired by historic figures such Emily Bronte, Charlotte Bronte, Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen, General Grant, and Virginia Woolf. You'll also find a hidden speakeasy that's open to resort guests, and it's definitely worth checking out if you have some free time. Otherwise, you can find an indoor bar or grab a drink at the seasonally open tiki bar by the pool!

Warning: This hotel is adults only, so it's best suited for a romantic getaway or a girls' trip!

The Abbey Resort

The Abbey Resort

For a more full-service experience, The Abbey Resort is a great option for families and solo travelers. Aside from spacious rooms, the property has indoor and outdoor pools, live music, an entertainment center, and a 35,000 square-foot spa. The Avani spa is absolutely a highlight at this property, too — you can book a massage, manicure, pedicure, hair and makeup services depending on what you're interested in. Outside of all that, the resort is simply stunning, making it an even better spot to enjoy the fall foliage and take some totally Instagram-worthy photos.

Where To Eat In Lake Geneva

Instagram/@pier_290

While you'll eat lots of cheese curds (and cheese in general, let's be real) in Lake Geneva, you'll probably want to swing by a restaurant for a more hearty meal. Here are some top options to add to your reservations!

Pier 290

You can't visit Lake Geneva without dining alongside Geneva Lake, and Pier 290 is the city's only lakeside restaurant! While the view alone has plenty of allure, the menu loaded with familiar favorites from cheese curds to lobster rolls. Plus, if you stop by on the weekend, you'll be able to enjoy some awesome live music as you eat!

Instagram/@soprabistro

Sopra

If you're craving Italian food, then you'll definitely want to head on over to Sopra. This Italian-American bistro located on main street is home to scrumptious eats including fish, pastas, salads, and more. A majority of the menu items have unique names — I'm looking at you, "donald from delhi" — adding a little extra fun and flair to your dining experience. So grab a "b positive" cocktail (blood orange vodka, club soda, splash of blood orange juice), and enjoy your evening!

The Abbey

240 West

Chow down on locally sourced ingredients at The Abbey Resort's 240 West Restaurant. Chef Noah Gumustekin curated a selection of dishes from pappardelle to a grilled ribeye that'll get your mouth watering at the thought. Plus, if you're staying on the property, you can eat to your heart's content and make your way to a lovely night's sleep in no time!

What To Do In Lake Geneva

Instagram/@cruiselakegeneva

Go On A Mail Cruise

Looking to actually get out on the lake itself? Lake Geneva Cruise Line hosts a US mailboat tour where you can sit on a boat as employees deliver mail to over 75 homes around the lake. During the two hour tour you'll learn all about the different mansions on the lake, plus some fun facts about Lake Geneva in general! This is a must-do for first-time visitors!

Instagram/@yerkesobservatory

Visit Yerkes Observatory

Science lovers will want to take a trip over to Yerkes Observatoryfor all things space. The historic building is home to the world's largest refracting telescope (wow!), alongside plenty of other exhibits which you can browse at your own leisure. If you're looking for a more guided experience, the observatory offers tours to help you understand what the heck you're actually observing.

VisitLakeGeneva.com

Walk Along The Shore Path

You should totally take some time out of your busy itinerary to walk the shore path around Geneva Lake. The entire path is over 20 miles — which would take you almost all day to complete in its entirety — but you can just start and end wherever you'd like to get a gorgeous view of the lake and the larger-than-life mansions. The best part? It's free and open to the public, so you can stroll around at any time.

Lake Geneva Cooking School

Take A Cooking Class

If you're looking to spend time like a local in Lake Geneva, then you'll want to register for a class at Lake Geneva School of Cooking. Join Chef John Bogan and his team as you participate in a hands-on cooking class alongside other locals and vacation go-ers. You can browse the classes offered online and pick one that suits your palate, whether that's a meat-driven dinner or a perfect pasta dish. Classes are priced at $150 per person, so it's a bit on the expensive side, but think of it this way: this experience goes beyond the class! You can cook this menu over and over again at home, remembering the fabulous time you had in Lake Geneva.

Hill Valley Dairy

Try Some Local Cheese

You can't visit Wisconsin without trying some local cheese. Head on over to Hill Valley Dairy to get your hands — and taste buds — on locally produced cheeses. Once you figure out what you like, you can buy them to take home with you, so you can enjoy them even after you leave Lake Geneva! And who doesn't want more cheese in their lives?

Why is Lake Geneva so famous?

VisitLakeGeneva.com

Lake Geneva is famous given all its fine dining, larger-than-life mansions, and absolutely beautiful body of water. Additionally, this quaint town is also in a pristine location located only an hour away from Chicago, making it an easy way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and be a little more in tune with nature.

On top of that, plenty of travelers compare Lake Geneva to more expensive destinations across the globe, from Lake Comoto Newport. This lets you get all the beauty and luxury of those bucket list towns without the high price tags!

How do I spend a day in Lake Geneva?

VisitLakeGeneva.com

When it comes to activities, Lake Geneva has plenty to offer! Whether you're simply walking the shore path, indulging in delicious locally grown dinners, or taking a cruise around the lake, you'll find fun everywhere you turn! And just because this is a lake town, doesn't mean you have to be outdoorsy. You can cater your experience based on your interests, including relaxing in one of the lovely luxury hotels.

My Modest Wedding Guest Dress Went Viral — Here Are Some Of My Fall Faves

Do you ever have that dress that you're utterly obsessed with, but you're saving it for a special occasion because you want it to have its own moment? That was me with the Esme Dusty Pink Plissé Kaftan Dress. It's a beautiful gown that wasn't my usual style, given its modest cut and color, so I was saving it for a moment that I wanted to try something new!

I recently pulled it out for a wedding, and I instantly felt like a princess — and had a bit of a viral momenton Tiktok. The modest cut of the dress, although out of my normal style, made me feel so classy! Since I fell in love with the look so much, I decided to embark on finding some similar options for future weddings this year. So, if you're also obsessed with a more modest style —, particularly kaftans and abaya-inspired dresses — then let's get into the recs!

What is a kaftan or abaya?

Kayla Walden

An abaya, sometimes known as a kaftan, is a modest garment normally worn by Muslim women. And while this is specific to their religion, I've spoken to many Muslim women who have said that they love to see other women embrace their culture and wear the modest, loose-fitting garments! The dress I'm wearing pictured above is actually similar to a butterfly-abaya, which is loose-fitting on the body with wide sleeves, but has a tie to snatch in your waist a bit. This makes it technically not an exact abaya, because it's a little more form fitting, but the style is very similar!

If you love that style too, we have some kaftans and other dresses that are quite similar to the style as well!

Esme

Esme Lace Kaftan Dress

The original dress I wore unfortunately sold out entirely after my post, but the brand has one that's super similar with lace detailing on the sleeves. I find this style to be so stunning and graceful — it's sure to make you feel like a princess as well!

Anthropologie

Hutch Column Maxi Dress

The color palette of this dress is perfect for autumn with the burgundy, rust, and neutrals. The looseness of this silk gown helps to stay true to the modest and classy theme we're going of with these looks, too. It also has the butterfly sleeve that I'm so obsessed with that comes across very ethereal and elegant!

Nordstrom

Farm Rio Kaftan Dress

Who says wedding guest dress shopping for modest looks has to be boring? This feather-trim kaftan proves to be anything but boring — especially paired with the fun, floral pattern draping the gown. It's probably one of my favorite modest options to still feel fun and fashionable with your choices.

Mango

Mango Satin Dress

In the mood to feel like Cinderella this wedding season? This modest dress is the perfect combo between a princess-like vibe and a beautiful winter blue! I could see this dress gracing the wedding dance floor of any winter weddings you may have coming up this year.

Banana Republic

Banana Republic Abigail Silk Dress

The word is out: fuchsia is in for the fall. This gorgeous shade of fuchsia is just a hint brighter than your typical autumn burgundies, and I think it's just divine! Not only would it work for fall, but I totally see it also as a great winter color as well. The long sleeves and loose fit make it a perfect contender for a modest look, while obviously still seeming so chic.

Amazon

ZESICA Long Knit Dress

Forest green is one of my favorite autumnal and winter shades — it looks so flattering on so many different skin tones! This dress has the trending "drop waist" that I've been looking for in all my dresses lately. It elongates your body to help make you look taller. And don't we all love that! Additionally, this dress is under $45, so run to add it to your cart!

Anthropologie

Significant Other Demi Dress

I normally steer away from oranges shades — as a redhead they can sometimes clash with my hair— but this burnt orange is one I would risk everything for. I mean, just look at how divine the rich, orange color is! I'm in love with the balloon sleeves on this modest dress as well; they'll make you feel so regal! Definitely pick this one up to style with gold accessories like above.

Amazon

Hiyan Creation Kaftan Dress

Another amazing Amazon find, but this one is only $30! Can you even believe it? This looks like it was taken right from Tôteme's catalogue! It's giving timeless, chic, and elevated luxe. This dress will truly have people asking you how you got the quiet luxury, Sofia Richie look on a budget!

H&M

H&M Balloon Sleeve Dress

Burnt orange is a trend this season, I see! The color is making waves in the high-end and low-end world, and I can't say I mind! This dress, specifically, is a favorite of mine. Not only because it's affordability, but also because it looks very boho chic and western. Pair with some heeled boots and a boho-style bag, and you'll definitely be labeled as the "fashion girly" at the wedding. To get a more modest look with this sheer dress, be sure to add a maxi slip dress underneath!

Nordstrom

Diarrablu Maxi Dress

This one is a great go-to if you tend to opt for a darker color palette with simpler and more luxe look. It reminds me of some of the pieces I'm seeing in high-end stores like The Row and Khaite. This silk number would be great paired with some classic black or metallic silver pumps, and a matching silver bag to accessorize the look!

Mango

Mango Printed Turtleneck Dress

Mango is a great place to find wedding guest dresses that are extremely high quality, yet not too pricey. The pieces are always perfectly on trend — like this printed turtleneck dress here — and also so wearable that you'll be holding onto them for many seasons to come! This Mango dress is another example of how dressing modestly does not have to be boring. Grab some fun, printed heels and a yellow bag for an exciting wedding guest look!

Nordstrom

Nordstrom WAYF Cassandra Dress

This simple, yet elegant option is hitting the mark on all the modest requirements. It's flowy, long-sleeved, and hitting right above your ankles. The floral green is also giving me serious Folklore vibes, so if anyone needs an outfit for T-Swift, this one's got you covered!

Cider

Cider Satin Long Sleeve Dress

We have another great, affordable option with this dress from Cider that's under $45! Shopping for weddings can sometimes seem really overwhelmingly, because you have to shop based on season, occasion, type of wedding, and avoiding their wedding colors; there's a lot of rules as a wedding guest of do's and don'ts. So I like to shop affordably most of the time, to keep from having the issue of never wearing the dress again. This is a dress that you don't have to stress about the price, but that you could also wear again! The color and cut is so flattering, and definitely hitting the mark for modesty!

Florence Pugh Shares Final Selfie Before Shaving Her Head For 'We Live In Time': "So Grateful"

When Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield presented together at the 95th Academy Awards, the internet lost their minds!! (Including yours truly, of course). But little did we know the duo actually had a rom-com in the works. (Pugh told Jimmy Fallon that the Academy also didn't know the actors were going to be working together, which makes their presentation even more fun). Deadline announcedWe Live In Time on March 14, 2023, and during the first week of April, we got the first set pictures of Pugh and Garfield traipsing around London. I haven't stopped thinking about it since! Here's everything you need to know about the new romance movie.

Did Florence Pugh really shave her head for We Live in Time?

Florence Pugh/Instagram

Yes, Florence Pugh shaved her head for We Live in Time — and Andrew Garfield is the one who cut it off! The moment is actually a scene in the movie and Andrew reveals how scary it was to do it in real time. “It was a privilege to be given that job,” Garfield said in an interview with British Vogue. “What if I somehow destroyed the head of one of the best actors of her generation? It was terrifying, but ultimately it was a very beautiful, intimate scene to shoot and thank God she has such a nicely shaped melon."

Pugh shared an image of her long hair on her Instagram stories while celebrating the movie's release. "This is the last picture I took with my hair," she says. "Getting to this for a role was a true honour and a privilege, to give my body to the story was something I always felt passionately and confident about. I'm just grateful. So grateful."

What have Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield said about We Live in Time?

A24

In a recent profile with British Vogue, Florence Pugh revealed just how nerve-wracking one particular We Live in Time scene was: cracking eggs one-handed. “That was what I was most terrified by,” she says. “Not the birthing scene. Not any of the illness. No, it was cracking the egg with one hand. I literally had two or three 12-dozen boxes of eggs and I would just be in the corner practicing.”

Florence Pugh also knew she wanted to be involved as soon as she read the script. "Especially as Brits, we grow up with the quirkiest and most beautiful of love stories. And I think it’s been a long time since we’ve had one of those,” she says in a Vanity Fair interview.

A24

“When I read it, I just fell in love with the idea of getting to be in one of those movies that will matter to a lot of people, and will live for a long time. And it’s about the simplest of things, which is that we are here, I personally believe, for one reason only: to love and be loved.”

“I think for a long time, I’ve wanted to find something that is not necessarily as hardened or as powerful as my other characters,” she continues. “I think this came at the right time in my life. I got to play a very, very normal woman who is talented in her own ways. The story is about the powerful love, and the powerful connection, between two people.”

A24

After starring as Jonathan Larson in Tick, Tick...Boom!, Garfield says taking the role of Tobias "was quite interesting to me on a performance-challenge level to be like, 'Okay, how do I play a guy who reads very ordinary and is comfortable in his ordinariness, having played someone who’s so obsessed with being extraordinary and genius?'”

The story, in which Pugh's Almut gets diagnosed with cancer, resonates with Garfield, who lost his mother to pancreatic cancer in 2019. “There’s a communing in the spirit of loss, in the shared experience of loss and love and the cost of loving and being fully alive,” he adds. “So I hope that we can all bond in the courage to do that.”

See The 'We Live In Time' Poster!

A24

The poster for Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh's We Live in Time perfectly captures the cozy, warm-down-to-your-toes feeling that can come with falling in love. And with a tagline like "Every Minute Counts" (plus the fact the movie comes from Brooklyn director John Crowley), I'll definitely be in tears by the end.

"Making this movie was such an unbelievably beautiful experience," Florence Pugh says on Instagram. "I’m thrilled and proud to say that it’s nearly here for all of you to watch soon. In the meantime, here’s some pretty breadcrumbs ;)"

Watch the We Live in Time trailer!

A24

If the We Live in Time trailer is this beautiful, I can't imagine how incredible the movie is going to be. Love, life, family, good news, bad news — it feels so relatable because of all the situations Almut and Tobias go through. But the best part is they don't go through them alone.

What is the We Live In Time release date?

Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

A24's We Live In Time will hit theaters October 11, 2024. It's one of our most-anticipated fall movies! At the New York City premiere of Dune 2 (watch our TikTok coverage here!), Florence Pugh talked about how much she loved making We Live In Time. "We just had the most beautiful time making it," she tells ET. "We made a real story about real people and I got to work with the most unbelievable actor that I feel so honored to be in his presence and shout lines back to him."

"It'll be here soon," she continues. "I'm just still in love with the process of making the movie, so I hope the people appreciate watching it."

What is We Live In Time about?

A24

Almut (Pugh) is a witty and determined chef, while Tobias (Garfield) is trying to figure out his place in the world after his recent divorce. When their paths cross, their lives change forever. "Through snapshots of their life together -- falling for each other, building a home, becoming a family -- a difficult truth is revealed that rocks its foundation," according to the official synopsis. "As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken in filmmaker John Crowley’s decade-spanning, deeply moving romance."

Based on Pugh and Garfield's previous roles (plus the fact that screenwriter Nick Payne is also behind The Last Letter From Your Lover AND John Crowley also directed Brooklyn), we're confident it will be emotional. I'm going to be bringing tissues into the theater, for sure.

Who else is in the We Live In Time cast?

Tristan Fewings/Getty Images for BFI

It looks like we'll see Adam James, Aoife Hinds, Marama Corlett, and Nikhil Parmar alongside Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Alas, this viral tweetabout Paul Mescal joining the film appears to have been an April Fool's joke.

Thanks to Deadline, we know that John Crowley is directing We Live In Time, Nick Payne is writing the script, and Benedict Cumberbatch is serving as an executive producer. Leah Clarke, Adam Ackland, and Guy Heeley will also produce.

Where are they filming We Live In Time?

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

The cast began filming We Live In Time in April of 2023, which is PERFECT rom-com weather if you ask me! Filming for the movie mainly took place around London.

What Else Can I See Andrew Garfield And Florence Pugh In?

Niko Tavernise/Warner Bros. Pictures

You can see Florence Pugh in A Good Person, Oppenheimer, and Dune 2. She plays Yelena Belova in Hawkeye and Black Widow (both available on Disney+), and stars in Don't Worry Darling, which you can stream on HBO Max now. She also finally took part in a Hot Ones interview!

Andrew Garfield's Under the Banner of Heaven and Spider-Man: No Way Home are streaming on Hulu and Apple TV+, respectively, and you can check out his role in Tick, Tick…Boom! on Netflix. You can also check out his 10 Essentials on British GQ's YouTube to get a glimpse into his everyday life.

It's Officially Scorpio Season — Here's What It Means For Your Weekly Horoscope!

October is quickly winding to a close — but it's not over yet! While we may want November and all its cheery Holiday goodness, we have to welcome Scorpio season first. This mysterious (and often misunderstood) sign is coming in hot to continue all those transformational vibes October Theory has everyone musing on. So, here's what you can expect in your weekly horoscope for October 20-26. Be sure to read for both your sun and rising sign!

Astrology Breakdown For Your Weekly Horoscope

Darina Belonogova

The main event this week is the Sun’s move into the sensual, deep, and intense sign of Scorpio on October 22. This shift offers us all the opportunity to live life on a more profound level. We are reminded to delve deep into our psyches to confront any issues lurking in the recesses of our minds and hearts. Scorpio loves to uncover hidden secrets and is eager to excavate our challenges and bring them to light. Let’s embrace this potential for transformation by scheduling an appointment with a therapist, committing to deep conversations, and exploring any issues that may be veiled from clear sight. Scorpio thrives on mysteries and seeks to clarify anything obscured. Take advantage of this time for genuine transformation.

Support for these transformations comes from Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, which is forming a beneficial trine with Saturn, the planet of responsibility and hard work. Saturn provides structure, enabling us to establish routines and commitments. Any endeavors requiring communication and diligence are well-supported by this alignment between Mercury and Saturn.

Victoria Strelka_ph

On a lighter note, Venus is in Sagittarius until November 12. Regardless of Venus's placement in your chart, we can all feel the expansive love energy this combination brings. You might notice an increase in flirtation and a renewed sense of being in love with life. Use this time to channel your enthusiasm into seeking new experiences and learning new things. Explore with your partner and friends how you can combine your dreams to support each other’s growth. Be open to adventures, but remember that the need for freedom might be prominent, so avoid smothering each other. Ensure everyone feels free to pursue their own adventures and interests.

On October 24, Mars forms a sextile with Uranus, enhancing the Venus in Sagittarius energy, encouraging us to embark on adventures outside our usual routines. Trust your instincts before taking radical actions, as this combination can lead to risk-taking. Our drive for spontaneity might create discomfort for those of us who are more cautious. Tread lightly, but this powerful alignment could spur us to experience life in a more exciting way.

You are poised to explore your subconscious this week, Aries. Take advantage of the ease with which you can access your inner psychology. The challenge may arise from an unwillingness to be open and vulnerable with others. Let go of your bravado and defenses. If you don’t already have a therapist, muster your courage to find one who complements your personality—someone who challenges you and encourages you to break through your barriers.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

While you're usually the steady one in the group, Taurus, this week you might feel an impulse to step out of that staid role. Though you’re not typically a risk-taker, trust your instincts if you feel compelled to do something unconventional. Allowing yourself some freedom can alleviate the restlessness you feel. Bold actions may awaken important parts of yourself that you usually hide or don’t acknowledge. Be bold and courageous.

Your love life could receive a boost this week, Gemini. You may meet someone very different from your usual crowd, perhaps even someone from another country. Be open to the exotic on all levels, whether it’s trying a new restaurant or visiting a museum showcasing another culture. You might also find yourself drawn to stores specializing in imported goods to beautify your home. Whatever happens this week, exposure to something or someone foreign will add excitement to your life.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

As always, your emotions are in focus right now, Cancer. You will feel compelled to act on your emotional experiences, but your challenge will be to moderate them and learn from the depths without drowning in them. Get creative as you explore these emotions. Talking might not be the best way to sort through your profound awareness. However, you cannot keep everything inside; it must be expressed. Do you have an artistic outlet? If not, perhaps you will feel inspired to explore that part of yourself. Join an art class or singing group—it’s best to process this with the support of others.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Virgo, you're gonna wanna get your journal out! What you reveal through writing will be nothing short of brilliant. Establish a routine by writing daily and incorporating healthy activities. Your relationships may require dedication similar to work, but if you attend to your self-care, that work will be rewarding. This week, your superpower is your ability to express yourself clearly. Use it to your full advantage in all areas of your life.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Write in your journal whatever comes to mind, Libra. This week is about expressing yourself with sensitivity and compassion. Your feelings are rich, full, and accurate. Writing will help clarify the messages your emotions convey. However, in your professional realm, keep your feelings out of your communications. Maintain an objective view and double-check your emails for accuracy. Edit and revise everything you share with the world. Writing requires effort, but with focus and attention to detail, you will benefit from sharing your thoughts.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Get creative with how you express your love, Sagittarius — don’t confine yourself to what you’ve always done. Reach beyond your imagination, keeping your beloved’s love language in mind. Be aware that you may be prone to exaggerated actions and words. While I’m not suggesting you hold back your brilliance, be sensitive to those around you; not everyone shares your exuberance or desire for freedom. There are many ways to express love and that adventurous spirit you embody. Strive to inspire others while maintaining awareness of their experiences.

Be mindful that it may come to you in unique and unusual ways.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You're at the beginning of a pivotal time, Aquarius. This is not the moment to disengage from your everyday reality but rather to fully engage with it. Keep your eyes wide open; your perceptions are keen, and what you observe changing within yourself and around you will inform how you respond. Consider your values and what is important. Realize that what is required may involve routine, discipline, and structure—though it might not look like traditional routines. Stay focused on your goals. If you don’t yet know what your goals are, you still have time, but don’t check out. Remain present.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You're a magnet for uplifting those around you and serve as an inspiration, Pisces. Your intuition is accurate and can guide you this week.

Buy flowers, wear jewelry that makes you feel good, and carry crystals in your pocket for extra protection and connection to uplifting energies. Listen to music that resonates with your higher self. Conversely, avoid negativity, steer clear of dark people and places. You are in a receptive state, so ensure you are both receiving and emanating light and positivity.
