Ariana Grande secretly said ‘I Do’ to Dalton Gomez over the weekend

Ariana Grande is officially a married woman! The singer and actress, 27, wed real estate agent Dalton Gomez, 25, in a “tiny and intimate” ceremony this weekend, according to People. The two tied the knot at their home in Montecito, with less than 20 people in attendance, a year and four months after they began dating. While we have many questions about the occasion—such as what the superstar bride wore for her big day!—there’s no question that they’re very much in love, with Grande’s representative confirming that the room “was so happy and full of love.” Congratulations to the couple!

J.Crew taps Brendon Babenzien as new menswear designer

A new name is leading J.Crew’s menswear design team: Brendon Babenzien. According to Hypebeast, the former design director of Supreme and co-founder of NOAH has been brought on to “disrupt the business,” as outlined by the brand’s executive, Libby Wadle. Whether this manifests in cult status streetwear pieces, increased sustainability, or limited drops, we can’t say yet—but it’s clear the preppy retailer is getting ready to veer down an entirely new design path.
