NEED TO KNOW

• She wore a custom lace wedding dress by British designer Giles Deacon

• Pippa's wedding look had a few similarities to her older sister Kate's Sarah Burton bridal gown

Pippa Middletonbecame theworld’s most famous bridesmaidafter her sisterKate Middleton’s 2011 nuptials, but it was her ownwedding dressin which she truly shone.

On May 20, 2017, Pippa walked down the aisle tomarryhusband James Matthewsin a bespoke silk cotton lace gown with a corseted bodice, cap sleeves, a high neckline and a heart-shaped keyhole back designed by Giles Deacon.

Pippa topped the look off with a Stephen Jones veil and a pair of ivory-and-pearl Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Ahead, everything to know about Pippa Middleton's wedding dress, including the unexpected accessory she recycled from her sister's royal wedding.

She chose a British designer

Pippa paid homage to her British roots by walking down the aisle in a stunning creation byBritish designer Giles Deacon. He launched his own label, GILES, in 2003 and earned a British Fashion Designer of the Year award in 2006.

Prior to designing Pippa’s 2017 gown, Deacon’s made his sartorial mark at the 2012 London Olympics, whenVictoria Beckhamperformed with the Spice Girls in his custom minidress with a dramatic train, and at the 2013 Met Gala, for whichSarah Jessica Parkersported one of his floral garments for the evening’s"PUNK: Chaos to Couture” theme.

Deacon expressed his delight at working on his most famous commission, sayingin a statement, "I was thrilled to work with Pippa on her dress.”

“She has a great eye,” he later toldBusiness of Fashionof Pippa, adding, “She knew whatshewanted.”

Pippa's dress featured hand-embroidered pearls and hidden seams

While Pippa’s gown appeared to have completely seamless stitching, Deacon toldBusiness of Fashionthere was actually a lot of behind-the-scenes work that went into hiding them — which is exactly what he was going for.

“I wanted that ‘’How-was-that-done?’ factor,” he told the publication.

As for how he accomplished the effect, Deacon revealed that Pippa’s silk cotton lace was “all hand-pieced.” Said Deacon: “[That’s] why you don’t actually see a seam.”

The designer’s team also hand-embroidered pearls along the neck, bodice and corset to emphasize its smooth lines.

Her dress was inspired in part by a 1960s movie

Deacon cited a scene in a 1963 Luchino Visconti film calledThe Leopardas inspiration for Pippa’s gown in a May 2017 interview withBusiness of Fashion.

“I always loved the dancing scenes inThe Leopard,” he said. “I know they were all hoop crinolines in the film, but there’s something gorgeous about having that great movement, with the skirt spinning round, keeping its shape.”

Pippa’s dress followed suit, with a tulle train at the back of the skirt that the designer said enabled it to float and pleats at the front that allowed it to move more freely. “There’s incredible movement,” Deacon explained to the publication.

The gown had similar elements to Kate’s

Pippa’s ivory wedding gown featured several elements that were similar to the ivorySarah Burton-designed dress Kate wore on her big day.

Both sisters chose a corseted bodice with a lace overlay, though their necklines differed quite a bit: Kate’s featured a deep, plunging V, while Pippa’s more modest mockneck was reminiscent ofGrace Kelly’s bridal look

The shape of their skirts was also nearly identical, with both Kate and Pippa opting for pleated A-line silhouettes.

Last but not least, both women covered their hair with long, intricate veils, though Kate’s was much longer than her younger sister’s, as was her gown, which featured a sprawling9-foot train.

Pippa previously wore her “something old” at Kate's royal wedding

If Pippa’s wedding earrings looked familiar, it’s because the British socialite wore them six years prior for theroyal wedding, effectively serving as her “something old.”

Commissioned from British jeweler Robinson Pelham by her mother and father for Kate’s nuptials, they featured a pear-cut diamond drop and a floral motif.

She wore a bespoke diamond headpiece

Robinson Pelham was also responsible for the understated tiara the bride wore atop her head.

Dubbed the Maidenhair Fern tiara, it was crafted with 18-karat white gold and diamonds, per company cofounder Zoe Benyon, who spoke toVogueabout the headpiece.

“It’s all about balance,” Benyon told the outlet in 2017. “You do not want the dress and tiara to fight, so one has to take a back seat.

Benyon also revealed that the tiara was tailored to Pippa’s face shape. As she explained: “Tiaras are like sunglasses; not every one suits every shape of face.”

Miles Teller Says Viral 2015 Interview Where He Was Called 'a Dick' Felt Like 'a Violation'

Miles Teller was asked in a new interview about “bad press” he endured earlier in his screen career

NEED TO KNOW

• The Michael star brought up a 2015 Esquire profile in which he was repeatedly called a “dick”

• “That was so mishandled,” Teller said of the viral piece, which “felt like such a violation of what actually transpired”

Miles Tellercame under some criticism in 2015.

In a new interview withIndieWire, Teller, 39, addressed an oldEsquireprofileabout the then-rising star, which concluded he was "kind of a dick.” Asked about having "to counteract some bad press" throughout his career, theMichaelstar brought up the old profile.

“That was so mishandled. The reason why I have not done profiles is because I said, ‘Wow, if I'm not doing this interview on camera, this person can misquote things or put things out of order or say things that didn't happen,' ” the actor said.

TheEsquirepiece “felt like such a violation of what actually transpired,” added Teller. “I told my team, ‘Guys, I don't think I'm doing this again, because I'm reading this and this doesn't sound like me to me.' ”

He continued, “It's unfortunate that being a good person, that doesn't sell. People want to click on the negativity.”

Ultimately, said Teller, “how you treat people truly, that's what matters… The actors, the directors, the crew, the producers, you can't hide who you are when you're on set.”

Reflecting on the early phase of his career, after breaking out with 2010'sRabbit Holeand 2014'sWhiplash, Teller noted that most actors are “just hoping to get a role.”

“I used to be more critical of work other people were doing, because you get thrown into this rat race when you're first starting out,” he said of that time. “As I've gotten older, I appreciate and have respect for longevity, if you can hang around. I always wanted to contribute.”

Indonesia unveils plan to centralise control of commodity exports

By Stanley Widianto, Gayatri Suroyo and Fransiska Nangoy

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto delivers speech at parliament

JAKARTA, May 20 (Reuters) - Indonesia unveiled a sweeping plan on Wednesday to centralise exports of key commodities such as palm oil and coal, aiming to boost government revenue through tighter control of the ‌sale and pricing of its abundant natural resources.

Sovereign wealth fund Danantara will oversee a trading company designated to channel exports, ‌starting with palm oil, coal and ferroalloys after a three-month transition. The government may add more commodities at three-month intervals.

"I tell my cabinet, formulate prices for nickel, gold. Every ​price must be determined by us," President Prabowo Subianto said in a fiery speech to parliament.

"If they don't support our price, then they don't have to buy it. We can use it ourselves."

Indonesia is the world's biggest exporter of palm oil, thermal coal and nickel, and Prabowo's plan aims to tackle concerns about under-invoicing and how exporters account for transfer pricing.

INVESTOR WARINESS

Indonesia's moves to assert greater control over its resources have rattled investors.

Tighter nickel ore ‌quotas, higher taxes and a new pricing formula are ⁠driving up costs and threatening investment, the China Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia warned Prabowo in a letter this month.

"Investors are increasingly concerned on policy direction, and this has driven outflows from Indonesia's capital markets," said Jayden ⁠Vantarakis, head of ASEAN research at Macquarie Capital in Singapore.

"It's hard to see how this announcement will change the direction," he said, adding that state-owned companies were already heavily involved in every key resource sector from energy to minerals such as copper, tin, nickel and gold.

GROWING PRESSURE

Economic pressure on Indonesia is ​mounting, with ​a series of ratings outlook downgrades and the rupiah currency repeatedly plumbing record ​lows against the U.S. dollar, as Prabowo's ambitious spending ‌plans fuel investor wariness.

Another new measure requires all exporters of natural resources to keep their entire export revenues in state-owned banks from June 1, in a step Senior Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto said aims to stabilise the flagging rupiah.

The central bank also raised interest rates on Wednesday for the first time in two years, by a higher-than-expected 50 basis points.

Rumours about the plan spooked the market on Tuesday, stoking concerns it could bring changes in pricing mechanisms and squeeze trader margins. Jakarta's main stock index fell 0.82% on Wednesday, after a drop of 3.5% the previous ‌day.

"Markets may price in some degree of transitional uncertainty until there is greater ​clarity on execution, documentation processes and trade flows," said Pritish Raj, senior manager for ​APAC & EMEA thermal coal pricing at S&P Global Energy.

Prabowo said ​Indonesia has lost as much as $908 billion in revenue in the last 34 years because its commodities were being ‌sold on the cheap.

"We're the biggest producers of palm oil ​but the price of palm oil ​is decided in other countries," he said.

Indonesia's natural resources were sufficient for the welfare of the entire country but the economy had not been managed well enough to boost state revenues, he added.

"In the opinion of the government - and I am sure every ​patriot will support this - the earth, water and ‌all the resources within it must be enjoyed by all Indonesians."

Penn State miss out on former O-line commit

While theNittany LionslostLayton Von Brandtearlier in the recruiting cycle and were not the favorites to land him again, many expected him to sign with theNotre Dame Fighting Irish. However, after moving up his commitment date to today, he went a highly unexpected route. Instead of following several other four star O-linemen to South Bend, Von Brandt committed to theAuburn Tigers. While Penn State will be disappointed that he did not stick with his early intentions, it somewhat feels like a win after Penn State lost out on many players to theFighting Irishon the recruiting trail.

For now, this leaves theNittany Lionswithout a four star lineman amongst their class, but still enough talent at the position to get by. With local recruits in David Tarawallie and Ryan Robbins, Campbell could have two bookend tackles of the future. They also have some interior talent with Jon Sassic and Owen Reilly. However, Notre Dame being spurned is the bigger takeaway as they looked to continue to stockpile at the position. Auburn's win is perhaps a testament to their persistence in recruiting him and both Penn State and Notre Dame landing other commits at the position, thus losing focus on Von Brandt.

Now all eyes will be on another prospect, this time three star Lucas Rhoa, who locked down an official visit. For now, the sting of losing Von Brandt hurts just a little less than potentially expected.

The Story Behind Sarah Jessica Parker’s Black Wedding Dress — and Her One Regret About the Iconic Gown

Sarah Jessica Parker wore a black spaghetti strap gown with a ruffled skirt for her 1997 nuptials to Matthew Broderick

NEED TO KNOW

• The Morgane le Fay design was an off-the-rack purchase

• Parker has said she wore black because she was "too embarrassed to get married in white"

Sarah Jessica Parkerbucked tradition when she marriedMatthew Broderick29 years ago on May 19, 1997, wearing a black gown instead of bridal white.

The iconic black wedding dress went on to spark a lasting trend, but Parker toldMarie Clairein 2006 that it was never intended to be a style statement.

"I was too embarrassed to get married in white, and both Matthew and I were reluctant to have people pay so much attention to us,” the actress said. “Which is ridiculous, because that's when you can relish the attention, when it's natural.”

Like her dress, the couple’s ceremony was rather unconventional. In fact, it was a total surprise to the 100 guests who attended, all of whom were simply told in the invitation (which Parker shared for the duo's25th-anniversary celebration) to join Parker and Broderick for “a party."

“We treated it like it was a big party on a Monday night, and I regret it,” theSex and the Citystar toldMarie Claireof the couple's casual nuptials that took place at the Angel Orensanz Foundation.

Parker later toldTodaythat if she had to do it all over again, she’d choose differently. “[I’d] white it up,” she said. “I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress like I should have worn that day.”

Here are all the details about Sarah Jessica Parker's memorable wedding dress — including how many gowns she tried on first and what she wishes she had worn instead.

Parker never envisioned herself in a wedding gown before her big day

While many brides dream of the gown they’ll walk down the aisle in, Parker told PEOPLE in 2018 that she was more focused on her would-be groom.

“I never thought about a wedding dress. Never. Had not one daydream about it,” she said. “At one point, I just simply remember thinking, ‘God, I really hope he asks me to marry him.’ I don’t know when or why. It was fairly early on.”

The gown was off the rack

While discussing her big day withAndy CohenonWatch What Happens Live With Andy Cohenin 2016, Parker revealed that the dresswas not a custom design.

“There was a store that I liked that I knew, and I just went and got whatever they had hanging,” she told the talk show host. "I just was too embarrassed to spend any time looking for a wedding dress.”

In fact, as theDivorcestar toldGlamourin 2008, “I bought the first dress I looked at.”

It was designed by Morgane le Fay

Chelsea-based designer Morgane le Fay, which wasfounded in 1983 by Liliana Casabal, was behind the frock Parker exchanged her vows in.

According to the company’s website, the brand’s identity is based in “feminine form and diaphanous story-telling." Its motto: “Fashion should be a healing force that makes the wearer feel limitless.”

The black color was meant to be understated

Given Parker’s high-fashion background, one might assume that the nontraditional black hue of her gown was worn to make a serious style statement, but it was actually quite the opposite.

As she explained toGlamour, the dress was meant to keep the focus off the bride and on the guests who attended the ceremony. “Our logic was we didn't want to call attention to ourselves that day, because we're actors and we get attention all day long,” she explained. “It was a party for everybody else.”

Despite the actress’s desire for something more demure, the dress itself was actually quite ornate. The bodice was simple enough, with a plain spaghetti strap top and scoop neckline, but the bottom cascaded out into a pouf of black ruffles for the skirt.

Her shoes were her “something blue”

Like Carrie Bradshaw, who tied the knot withChris Noth’s Mr. Big in a pair of Manolo Blahnik blue Hangisi stilettos at their courthouse wedding, Parker opted for a pair of colored heels while saying her own “I dos.”

“I wore teal blue velvet Robert Clergeries with a rounded toe and a classic Clergerie heel, from Barneys,” she said at the debut of herSJP Shoe brand’s bridal collaboration with Giltin New York City in 2018.

Her accessories served as her “something old” and “something borrowed”

In addition to her shoes, which took care of one part of the old “something borrowed” adage, Parker incorporated several other key accessories into her big day.

"I borrowed a handkerchief, someone gave me an old coin, and the dress was new, so I covered all my bases,” she toldMartha Stewart Weddings.

It opened the door for other celebrities to wear black down the aisle

While black wedding dresses have since become a common choice for unconventional brides, in 1997, the hue was a rare one, and like it or not, SJP paved the sartorial way for other celebrity brides, includingEllen Pompeo,Avril Lavigne,Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn and Shenae Grimes — all of whom said their “I dos” while wearing onyx — to do the same.

According to industry experts, the fadofficially peaked in 2020with the onset of COVID-19. “It’s our hottest trend,” Laura McKeever, head of public relations for David’s Bridal, told theWashington Postin May 2022.

Parker would wear a totally different wedding gown, given the chance

If she could do it all over again, Parker has said her dress would be far more conventional.

"If I were getting married today, I'd likely wear cream, just to have that bridal experience," she toldMartha Stewart Weddings.

TheFailure to Launchstar also elaborated to the publication on what it might look like. "Now, I would want my dress to have an Oscar de la Renta feel, pockets below the waist, a very fitted bodice, a huge skirt, in taffeta or duchesse satin,” she explained. “That silhouette appeals to me because it's old-fashioned, yet can look very modern."

Where Is Dominic Russo’s Family Now? Inside Their Lives After He Was Killed in the Mackenzie Shirilla Crash

Dominic Russo was killed when his girlfriend, Mackenzie Shirilla, crashed her car into a brick wall in July 2022

NEED TO KNOW

• The 20-year-old's family members initially stood by Mackenzie before realizing the crash may have been intentional

• Dominic's dad, Frank Russo, and older sister, Christine Russo, were both interviewed for the Netflix documentary The Crash

Dominic Russowas just 20 years old when he waskilled in a high-speed car crash.

Dominic began datingMackenzie Shirillawhen she was a freshman in high school, and they started living together after she graduated high school. Although the two were called inseparable, they also struggled with challenges in their relationship — including trust issues and volatile behavior.

On July 31, 2022, Mackenzie, who was 17 at the time, was driving Dominic and their friend, 19-year-oldDavion Flanagan, home from a party in the early morning hours. Within a few moments, Mackenzie suddenly accelerated her car to 100 mph and crashed it into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio.

Both Dominic and Davion were killed in the crash, while Mackenzie was hospitalized for her injuries and survived. Mackenzie vehemently maintained that the crash was an accident and that she didn't remember the moments leading up to it. However, she was arrested in November 2022 and wasconvicted of Dominic and Davion's murdersthe following March.

While Dominic's parents and family members initially stood by Mackenzie and believed her story, they have since changed their minds and have expressed mixed opinions after seeingvideo footage of Mackenzie's pre-crash behavior.

Both Dominic's dad Frank and sister Christine, opened up about their love for their son and his tragic death in the Netflix documentary,The Crash, which came to the streamer on May 15.

Here's everything to know about where Dominic Russo's family is now.

Who was Dominic Russo?

Dominic was raised in Strongsville, Ohio, and had a close relationship with his parents, Christine and Frank, and his siblings.

“He literally was just starting his life... and he was just a baby. So he had his whole life ahead of him," his sister Christine told PEOPLE in 2023.

Christine described her younger brother as kind, funny and caring.

"He was the most doting and proud uncle to our children," she said. "He was so loved, and he is so indescribably missed. I'm so proud to call him my brother.”

The older sister also participated in the Netflix documentary with some of her other family members and later toldNBC Newsthat the grief has "gotten worse."

"As time goes, we're missing him more as different stages of grief are hitting,” she explained. “Since the sentencing, it's appeal after appeal after appeal. There's no resting; there's no finding peace. It's just constant, like them slapping it again in our face every six months.”

Meanwhile, Dominic's father, Frank, said that his son was a "go-getter" who loved music and basketball.

“He was opening up his own clothing line, he was not average kid, I'll tell you that,” Frank toldNBC Newsin 2023.

What happened to Dominic?

Around 5 a.m. on July 31, 2022, Mackenzie started driving Dominic and Davion home from a graduation party. Thirty-six minutes later, she slammed her 2018 Toyota Camry into a brick wall.

Dominic and Davion were pronounced dead at the scene, while Mackenzie was rushed to the hospital and treated for various injuries, including multiple bone fractures.

When investigating the deadly crash, authorities learned that the interior of the car had "exploded" upon impact, Assistant Prosecutor Tim Troup said inThe Crash.Forensic auto investigators subsequently conducted an in-depth investigation that determined Mackenzie had accelerated the car to an estimated 100 mph in the moments before the crash.

The investigation also found that there were no technological malfunctions that caused the car to inexplicably speed up. The Camry's "black box" revealed that the accelerator pedal was pressed 100% down with no indication of braking.

“Three seconds before the impact, there was some steering input: Right movement, left movement and then a hard right movement,” Sergeant Ryan Fox of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said in the doc. “It shifted from drive into neutral, back into drive again.”

Mackenzie's bloodwork tested positive solely for THC and psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana were found in the car. Her attorneys later argued that she could have unconsciously crashed the car as a result of a medical emergency.

After a three-month investigation, Mackenzie was ultimately arrested in connection with Dominic and Davion's deaths. She was charged with four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, one count of drug possession and one count of possessing criminal tools.

“The evidence all comes together to show: This was not an accident,” Troup said in the Netflix doc.

In August 2023, Mackenzie wassentenced to two concurrent terms of 15 years to life in prisonwith credit for time served and a permanent suspension of her driver's license.

What have Dominic's family members said about his death?

Shortly after losing their beloved family member, Dominic's parents initially supported Mackenzie and believed that the crash was an accident.

However, in September 2022, Dominic's brother, Angelo, started speaking with authorities and admitted that his brother and Mackenzie's relationship was far from perfect. Angelo also claimed that Dominic tried breaking up with Mackenzie several times and shared video footage of Mackenzie allegedly trying to break into Dominic's home after he wouldn't let her inside.

“Dom tried to break up with her multiple times,” Angelo told police, per footage shown inThe Crash. “Dom would have to call Kenzie's parents, call her mom and stuff, and say, ‘Hey, you need to get Kenzie out of here. She's refusing to leave my house; she's being crazy.' "

Dominic's sister Christine told police that she knew they were fighting but also thought it was a tragic accident.

"You know, they were kids. Accidents happen all the time like that," Christine said inThe Crash. "You never in a million years think, 'This girl killed your brother.' "

Upon seeing the footage of Mackenzie trying to break into Dominic's house, the Russo family's opinions changed, and many of them believed that Mackenzie had intentionally killed Dominic. Both Dominic's mom and brother Angelo ended up testifying in court about the couple's allegedly volatile relationship.

Even though many of the Russo family members came to the same conclusion about what happened to Dominic, not all of them agreed on Mackenzie's sentencing.

“It's horrible for everybody. Yeah, I lost my son, it's harder on our family, but I don't want the rest of her life ruined too. It isn't going to make me feel any better,” Frank told NBC News at the time. "The whole thing's just a shame."

Frank added, "She's just a little kid. She f---ed up. She did a damn stupid thing but now her parents are destroyed, her family's destroyed too. I wish there was a way she could get some kind of help, some kind of treatment.”

However, his sister Christine told PEOPLE that she disagreed with the sentencing for different reasons.

“I feel like the sentences should have been [run] consecutively,” she said. “I can't imagine how I would feel if Mackenzie got out in 14 years. My brother's life and Davion's life was completely stolen. They don't get out in 15 years. They don't come back in 15 years. They don't get any chance to live a life.”

Dominic's mom,Christine, spoke at Mackenzie's sentencingand said that "evidence and science proved" she "murdered my son Dominic, as well as Davion."

"Time does not heal this wound," she emotionally shared. "Mackenzie is going to prison because you did this. Be thankful that you're still alive and have a future, whatever that may be. Dom and Davion were robbed of their futures, their hopes and their dreams. Mackenzie showed no mercy on Dom, nor did she on Davion. Only God at this time can have mercy on her soul."

Where is Dominic Russo's family now?

In the years since Dominic tragically died, his family members have either taken a step out of the public eye or continued advocating for him.

Both Frank and his daughter, Christine, appeared inThe Crashwhere they opened up about Dominic's death and legacy. The two further slammed Mackenzie for trying to get her conviction appealed.

"She actually intentionally murdered him," Christine said of Mackenzie in the doc, while later adding, "She got 15 years, that's nothing."

Since the documentary was released on May 15, Christine hasaccusedThe Crashfilmmakers of lyingabout aspects of the case and only using interviews from Mackenzie's friends. She went on to launch a podcast,The Big Sister: Unhinged, where she says she is "working tirelessly to reclaim his narrative from media sensationalism and misinformation."

"A central focus of her work is debunking lies and defending Dominic's character," the description reads. "She dives into the realities of public tragedies and the warning signs of toxic relationships, offering a platform where victims' families can find clarity. Based in Ohio, Christine remains a pillar of the Russo family, dedicated to advocacy and ensuring Dominic and his friend Davion are remembered for the truth of who they were and the lives they lived."
