This Victoria's Secret Model Wore a Magical Convertible Gown For Her Italian Wedding
Put any bride in a Zuhair Murad wedding dress and she's bound to look magical. Victoria's Secret model Vita Sidorkina surely did when she slipped into her dreamy long-sleeved lace gown. The model got married on the Amalfi Coast, and for her big day, chose a creation that was both classic and modest.
The high-neck style and sleeves even reminded us of Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen wedding dress, though Vita's design featured a small, sexy cutout right above the bodice. The poufy number flowed as she walked out of Ravello Cathedral.
Once at the reception, the model made a quick change. Vita removed the bottom portion of her train to reveal a long column lace dress underneath. While many brides have one, two, or even three outfit changes, Vita strategically tweaked her wedding dress, wasting no time at all. It's a reminder that your bridal gown can double as the perfect reception dress. Read ahead to see more from this model's beautiful Italian wedding.
These Photos of Jason Momoa With Long and Lucious Hair Should Be Respected at All Times
POPSUGAR is usually a very happy and calm place, but once every so often, us editors get into a very serious and important debate: is Jason Momoa hotter with longer or shorter hair? While some of us have remained adamant that his short hair is a lot sexier, others (me) have held onto the belief that his long and beautiful locks could save the world. The Aquaman actor, who is currently rocking some serious beach waves, has worn his hair in many different ways over the years. From dreadlocks to bedhead to putting it all up in a pretty little man bun, there is not one photo of Jason's mane we don't love.
10 Ways Solo Travel Made Me More Confident
Solo travel is one of the most transformative experiences for the over-hustled soul. It's multisensory therapy that effectively grounds every person who dares to leave their significant other or best friends on the other side of the world. If you can't shake the deep-rooted feeling of lacking something in your life - whether that be fulfillment, happiness, or direction - these are the 10 ways solo travel squashed that and made me more confident and ready for life.
1. I Learned to Trust in All My Relationships
Trust issues often originate from the fear of something or someone being taken away from you. When you put thousands of miles between yourself and your most meaningful relationships, it's quickly discovered that they can survive abysmal WiFi connections, weeks without contact, and missed birthdays. Not only do the ones worth nurturing survive, but they often grow stronger with distance.
2. It Brought Perspective to Problems (Both Big and Small)
The anxieties that you feel in your day-to-day environment suddenly aren't monumental when you're standing next to a new ocean watching the waves crash against the shore. People who bring toxic energy to your life suddenly have no effect on you when you realize your emotional strength should be invested in making a child in an impoverished village feel full again. Making money doesn't seem as tricky when you witness a culture living in complete happiness despite the absence of it. Solo travel teaches you that your problems aren't always big, they're simply out of perspective.
3. Independence Has Nothing to Do With Relationship Status
Independence is a gift that we should maintain and demand respect for our entire life, as personal dreams (not only shared ones) are what keeps the world progressing. Whether you're single or married to the love of your life, the right relationship will foster an environment for personal growth and solo travel shouldn't be off the itinerary. Scheduling regular solo escapes to both new and beloved destinations should be a ritual and will give you the solo time you need to reconnect with your priorities.
4. A Diverse Social Circle Is the Strongest
Even if your idea of a good night is to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and a new episode of Game of Thrones (which I promise, you'll still want to do abroad), you will make friends and forge lifelong connections in places you never expected. Being able to connect with people across different cultural, socioeconomic, and geographical backgrounds will not only make you feel immeasurably more confident in your social skills, but will enrich your life in ways you never fathomed.
5. Out of Comfort Zone Is the Best Zone
Diving into a situation, experience, or destination that is beyond our comfort zone has the amazing ability to serve as an unapologetic reflection of our true characters. The strengths you possess while traveling solo will awe you. The flaws and prejudices you harbored without realizing will shock you and instantly ignite a flame for becoming a better version of yourself.
6. Beauty Can Be Found Everywhere
The experiences which involve the least amount of luxury transform our relationship with what we deem beautiful. I once stayed in a hotel on an island where power outages were more common than not. The first time my air conditioner gave out, I was so focused on how uncomfortable it was. When I slowed down my thoughts, however, I realized there was a heavenly ocean breeze rustling the palms outside. I opened my window, and it was the best night of sleep I ever had.
7. The World Is Big, and We Need to Be a Big Part of It
When you realize how vast the world is, you'll want to be a bigger part of it. Whether that means volunteering abroad and giving back to the global community or simply booking a one-way flight to Italy to live out your own Tuscan life, there is no guilt to be had when realizing you want to experience and give back to the world in a way that goes beyond your own backyard.
8. You Can Make It Everywhere, and It Doesn't Need to Involve a Desk Job
Once you see the world, you realize that life isn't quite as vibrant when it's tied to one place. In today's ever-so-increasingly remote workplace, skills and experience can easily be applied abroad. Millennials are masters of the side hustle and that trend isn't going anywhere. Be creative with how you make money and don't fall for the notion that professional dreams must be nurtured in a corporate atmosphere - entrepreneurship is a beautiful thing.
9. Self-Made Decisions Are the Best Decisions
Decisions are hard (especially when it comes to dinner), but when you have to choose between a dozens of different literal and figurative routes every day, you learn to trust your instincts. Even when your choices lead to a less-than-spectacular experience, trusting your gut is always the scenic route to building character.
10. You'll Discover What You Want to Give to the World (and What You Don't)
Traveling grounds you. It teaches you who you are and, if that's not the person you want to be, delivers you with a fire to make change. Experiencing your character in the backdrops of different global landscapes will ignite dreams and passions you never knew you had - and once your wanderlust takes over, you'll have the confidence to transform those discoveries into the life of your dreams.

The Meaning of This Salad Meme Is Way Raunchier Than You Might Expect
The internet has a new favorite meme, and it's not one that's easily explained. If you've been on Twitter or Tumblr recently, you've likely started to see an image of an exasperated woman eating salad, with the caption: "Are you serious? Right in front of my salad?"
The clip (and accompanying quote) originated from an NSFW scene in an adult film. To make a long story short: a woman enjoying a bowl of salad realizes that two men in her kitchen are engaging in bedroom activities and questions why they'd do it in front of her salad. The situation has quickly transformed into a meme used to express indignation, and the actress's annoyed facial expression has gone fully viral.
Naturally, due to its origins, usage of the meme ranges from highly risqué to totally innocent and suitable for work based on context . . . but good luck explaining it to anybody who asks what it means. In fact, your best plan of action might be to send them the link to this post and let them find out the rest for themselves!
We've gathered a few work-appropriate examples of the meme in action here, but be forewarned: you might not look at your salad the same way again.
Everwood: The Emotional 15th Anniversary Reunion Will Take You Back
The cast of Everwood reunited at The CW's 2017 TCA Summer press tour day on Aug. 2 to reminisce about the beloved family show. In attendance were cocreators Greg Berlanti and Rina Mimoun, plus stars Tom Amandes, Justin Baldoni, John Beasley, Vivien Cardone, Debra Mooney, Stephanie Niznik, Gregory Smith, Emily VanCamp, and Treat Williams. Chris Pratt, who also starred on the show, unfortunately could not be in attendance at the reunion.
It was an emotional reunion, with multiple cast members, plus Berlanti, getting choked up when speaking about how much the WB series meant to them all. If you never watched Everwood or you just want to revisit the family drama, all the episodes are now available on the CW Seed streaming platform.
Jennifer Aniston's Already Wearing the Shoe of the Summer
In the Summer of 2016, Jennifer Aniston kept her Burberry wedges on repeat. She bought them in two neutral colorways, a promising move to make when you know you've found a style that's comfortable and versatile.
The actress, who always maintains effortless street style, stepped out in West Hollywood, CA, in a pair of boyfriend jeans, a fitted military jacket, and Soludos leather sandals with an espadrille platform. While these shoes are a few inches lower than her Burberry pairs, they're certainly more suitable for running errands on a relaxing afternoon.
Scroll to take a look, then shop Jen's pair along with similar options, before she scoops up every colorway.
Question: How Tall Is Game of Thrones Star Gwendoline Christie? Answer: Very

Game of Thrones: What Is Daenerys's Claim to the Throne?
Seven seasons ago, the War of the Five Kings kicked off on Game of Thrones after Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark's deaths, with Joffrey, Stannis and Renly Baratheon, Robb Stark, and Balon Greyjoy all vying for control of the Seven Kingdoms. Fast-forward several years and Game of Thrones has now turned into the War of Two Queens (and Jon Snow Fighting Wights).
The two women currently vying for control of Westeros are Cersei Lannister in King's Landing and Daenerys Targaryen in Dragonstone. Cersei's claim to the Iron Throne is pretty clear - she's the last person standing in the family of the most recent line of monarchs. But what is Dany's claim to the Seven Kingdoms?
To start with, she is the only surviving child of the last Targaryen ruler of Westeros, King Aerys II. Aerys wed Rhaella Targaryen (his sister), and they bore three children: Rhaegar, Viserys, and Daenerys. Before Dany's birth, Aerys's rule became increasingly erratic and dangerous, culminating in the murder of Rickard and Brandon Stark (Ned's father and grandfather). Their execution is in response to Rhaegar allegedly kidnapping Lyanna Stark against her will (which appears to be a false interpretation of what happened between Lyanna and Rhaegar) and Brandon and Rickard riding south to rescue her/demand justice for her.
Once Aerys executes Brandon and Rickard, the rebellion against the Targaryens is out in full force, with houses Arryn, Baratheon, Stark, and Tully rebelling against the throne, killing Rhaegar and his supporters - though the sacking of King's Landing and Aerys's death (along with the deaths of Rhaegar's wife, Elia, and their two children) lies solely at the feet of the Lannisters, who had previously stayed out of the rebellion, when they brutally invaded King's Landing and took control of the capital.
When all of this fighting broke out, Aerys sent his wife and young son, Viserys, to Dragonstone for safekeeping, which is where Rhaella gave birth to Daenerys (dying in childbirth in the process). With Aerys, Rhaegar, and Rhaella now dead, Viserys and Daenerys were smuggled out of Westeros by Targaryen loyalists, living in the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea until Dany just recently returns to Westeros to stake her royal claim.
One could argue that because Aerys was removed from the throne by a rebellion (and killed by his own Kingsguard), the Baratheons and Lannisters never had a rightful claim to the throne. As the last surviving Targaryen (that anyone knows about), Daenerys's claim to the Iron Throne is strong.
However, there is that messy detail about Jon Snow actually being the son of Dany's brother Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark, which gives him just as much of a claim on the throne as Daenerys.
Yes, Mark Zuckerberg Hired a Former Hillary Clinton Staffer, but He's Not Running For President
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook who's currently on a tour of the US to meet with real, everyday Americans, is not running for president. Sure, there's a super PAC that really wants him to run, and he continues to hire former political strategists like Joel Benenson, a former Hillary Clinton pollster. But despite his many photo ops, the man is not gearing up for a presidential run. If anything, Zuckerberg will set his sights on a more achievable local contest, such as San Francisco's mayoral race in 2019.
Why does everyone think Zuckerberg is running for president?
Currently, Zuckerberg has three former political strategists working for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, an organization he founded with his wife that's devoted to "advancing human potential and promoting equality." Benenson and his company, Benenson Strategy Group, will join the organization as consultants. He won't be the only political operative on staff, though: he'll be joining ranks with former President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, who serves as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's president of policy and advocacy, and Amy Dudley, the former communications adviser to Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia. Zuckerberg's personal photographer is also Charles Ommanney, who served as photographer for the George W. Bush and Obama campaigns.
Outside of these hires, Zuckerberg's tour of the US has also produced numerous campaign-trail-style photos, such as gutting a fish with Alaskan locals, hanging out with truck drivers in Iowa, and grabbing Iftar dinner with Somali refugees in Minneapolis. All of the photos capture Zuckerberg looking normal and having fun, though in reality there are several rules one must adhere to when meeting Zuckerberg, so it's unlikely things were as tranquil as they seem. The giddy earnestness captured in these moments serves to reveal a different side to Zuckerberg, one that's grounded outside of Silicon Valley and CEO meetings, putting him smack-dab in the minds of "normal" people who exist in the US, those who most likely use Facebook every day.
Why would Zuckerberg run for a local race first?
Zuckerberg believes in the power of community, or so he insinuated at the Facebook Community Summit in June. This sentiment is also reflected in Facebook's new mission statement: "Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together." It's therefore more likely that he'd pin his hopes on local races, where he can talk to the community both directly and through Facebook groups. Besides, if Zuckerberg were to run locally, he'd have an easier time convincing people to vote for him. His audience, after all, includes people who live nearby and work in tech companies themselves.
Most importantly, the 2020 presidential race is going to be a total rat race. Contenders are already contemplating throwing their hats into the ring, and President Donald Trump has even started to fundraise. Zuckerberg wouldn't bet his future on such convoluted odds.
What race would he run for?
Zuckerberg could start small, run for a seat on San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, but he'll most likely go for something like the 2019 San Francisco mayoral race. Sure, Zuckerberg will face a ton of critics, especially among those who oppose the tech shuttle buses or the pricing out of locals in the housing market due to companies like Facebook. But, if current San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee won reelection despite these valid criticisms, what's to stop constituents from voting in someone like Zuckerberg?
So for now, keep an eye on Zuckerberg's tour of America and his earnest Facebook Live videos. It's still too early for us to predict that Zuckerberg will relocate the White House to Palo Alto someday, but you heard it here first.

This Muslim Miss Universe Contestant Made History When She Didn't Wear a Bikini on Stage
Participating in the swimsuit portion of the Miss Universe Great Britain beauty pageant is a given, but one contestant wasn't about to wear a bikini. Instead, Muna Jama became the first contestant ever to wear a caftan on stage.
"I wouldn't wear a bikini to the beach, so I'm not going to wear one in a competition to score points," she said back in May.
This was the second time she had applied to the Miss Universe pageant (she pulled out two years ago because of the swimsuit round), and when she did, she asked to stay covered on the runway. For the Muslim contestant, wearing a revealing swimsuit is against her religion, and simply put, she wasn't comfortable in a bikini. Her situation was similar to model Halima Aden, who wore a burkini for the swimsuit round of the pageant she participated in.
Though Muna admitted she went back and forth with the organization, in the end, Miss Universe agreed to let her compete in a caftan. The moment was a win for her (and future contestants) because it proved she doesn't have to show skin to look and feel beautiful. In fact, Muna strutted down the stage with a ton of confidence. Muna addressed the big day on Instagram, writing, "This moment has proved that I am capable of almost anything I set my mind to and limitation is a status waiting to be changed." Scroll on to read the entire powerful message.
24 Timeless Photos of Princess Diana

Keep reading for 24 of her most iconic moments.
The 1 Genius Decorating Tip Everyone Should Steal from RHOC's Heather Dubrow
Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow's palatial mansion is filled with many over-the-top design elements that are far from feasible for the ordinary gal; her floating onyx bar, massive closet complete with it's own champagne door bell (we kid you not), and movie theater come to mind. And while we can only gape at those pricey features, Heather does have one elegant design ritual dwellers on any budget can get behind: she fills her entryway with a new display of fresh flowers each week. The fragrant seasonal blossoms set a welcoming tone, while the constantly rotating displays help prevent her home design from becoming stale.
In typical Heather fashion, her the flowers are from a swanky delivery service and are opulent enough to decorate the head table at a black-tie wedding - but you need only swap in a new simple grocery store bouquet every week to achieve the same results. You can even create depth to the look by breaking up the bouquet into multiple vessels arranged at different heights, like Heather does.
Check out the Bravo! star's stunning floral displays ahead. And remember, no matter how much you pay for your blooms or how you arrange them, the key is to make bringing them into your home a habit that you do consistently.
5 Reasons You Should Skip Rome and Head to Sperlonga, Italy, Instead
It was my junior year of college when I jetted off to study abroad in London. I spent the semester running between my school's two campuses, one in the city and another in North London. After class, I would always take the long way home and often discovered gems like God's Own Junkyard on the way back to my flat.
Before I knew it, two months of exploring England was over and it was finally time for the moment my friends and I were waiting for since we had stepped foot into Heathrow Airport - Spring break. Back home in the States, we were used to a rather short week-long break that usually went by too fast. London knew just how to spoil us with a three-week Spring break. After a lot of long nights of planning, we traveled all over Europe to Italy, Greece, Ireland, and Prague. I had the time of my life, and by the end of the trip, I just knew I had to make my way back to Italy somehow.
I was captivated by the slow stroll of the Italians, the food, and the encompassing culture. Italy has a way of wrapping you in its richness and not letting go. A few more months had passed, and my time in London was coming to an end. I still hadn't traveled alone - which was one of my goals - and I hadn't seen any cities in Italy other than Rome and Florence.
I was six months into my study-abroad program, and I was dead broke. Truly itching to travel again, I knew I had to find the cheapest flight or it wasn't going to happen. My Skyscanner search led me to a $50 round-trip flight to Sperlonga, Italy, a little town in the Lazio region of Italy halfway between Rome and Naples. Here's why you should visit this gem!
The 7 Types of Underwear and When You Should Actually Wear Them
Like the air we breathe and the water we drink, underwear is a part of life so ubiquitous that it often goes unnoticed. Don't let another year pass being unclear about your underpinnings - especially considering 99 percent of you are wearing them right now. (And if not, well, maybe you should be.)
We're exploring the wide yet sometimes very, very thin world of panties and breaking down the seven most common styles - sorry, no crotchless or C cups (we beg you not to Google Image search that) here.
This Couple Took the World's Best Engagement Pictures - at Chili's
I took some of my engagement pictures at @Chilis. You're welcome. http://pic.twitter.com/md0y9QS0RC
- Krista Doyle (@Krista_Doyle) August 1, 2017
There's nothing quite like Chili's queso to really bring romantic engagement pictures to the next level. That was the genius idea of Krista Doyle and Kelly Boyles, who decided to capture their love for each other (and food, of course) by snapping a few photos at the restaurant chain. Krista took to Twitter earlier this week to share some of the incredible pictures, which are equal parts adorable and hilarious, and Chili's noticed, replying to her tweet and saying, "These are the best engagement pictures we've ever seen." Agreed!
These are the best engagement pictures we've ever seen. Congrats on the engagement! We'd love to send you a gift. Please DM us!
- Chili's Grill & Bar (@Chilis) August 1, 2017
Krista told POPSUGAR that the idea came about while they were driving around to a few locations with their photographer, Desiree Echevarria. "I just said, 'We should do a few at Chili's!' because Kelly and I both love food," she said. "And I've been a huge Chili's fan my entire life."
When asked how they met, Krista explained, "We met on set of a web series our mutual friends were making called 'The Bacheloresbian,' which is a lesbian parody of The Bachelorette." She added, "We were both 'contestants,' but I fell for her instantly and asked her on a date two days later."
They're still finalizing their wedding menu, but Krista assured me that she's "DEFINITELY considered having Chili's chips, salsa, and queso there." File under: weddings we wish we were invited to.
Woman With 1 Ovary Shares Her "Tale of the Magic Fertile Wedding Dress"
After losing an ovary and a fallopian tube in 2014 and finding out her remaining ones were scarred, Reddit user jbuch was unsure if she'd be able to get pregnant easily. Because of this, she and her fiancé decided it would be fun to begin trying about a year before their wedding. With her wedding date on the horizon, she began to dress shop over Labor Day weekend of 2015, where she found her perfect dress, which she now refers to as her "magic fertile wedding dress."
"The day after I bought my dress, I got a reallllyyyy positive pregnancy test," she wrote. "'Whoops,' thought I. 'That's mighty inconvenient.' But, we had been trying for almost a year, and I was super excited. So, the wedding date got pushed back and I gave birth to our perfect son in May of 2016."
After Merrick's birth, the couple set their wedding date for Aug. 5, 2017, but after trying on her dress for her final fitting - and only for the second time ever - she spent the rest of the day feeling extremely nauseated. "Huh. Might as well buy a pregnancy test, right? Just to confirm I'm not pregnant for the wedding, right? RIGHT?!" she wrote. "Guys. IT WAS POSITIVE. I'm pregnant. I'm having another baby. I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW."
The expectant mom ended her post with a generous offer to donate her dress to anyone in need once she's said "I do" in it: "So tell your friends who are trying that I have a magical fertility wedding dress they can borrow once I'm done with it. Just put it on once and you'll be pregnant before you know it."

Think You Could Spot Game of Thrones' Lord Varys Out in Public? Probably Not
Lord Varys (Conleth Hill) is one of those sneaky characters on Game of Thrones - you never really know where his loyalties lie and he always seems to be up to something. But do you think you'd be able to spot him out in public? Our guess is probably not. Unlike Varys, Conleth actually has a full head of hair. "It's funny, because I wasn't bald for 47 years before I did this, so [my hair] is normal to me," Conleth recently told Business Insider. "But other people get freaked out by the hair."
While Conleth initially hated shaving his head every year, he's come to terms with it now and actually kind of likes it. "I'm not so conspicuous when I'm not on set, since I look so different year round. My hair grows back fairly fast after shooting, so I'm not hounded at home." Which look do you prefer?

Not only is she charmingly funny and a master of good light, but she's so gorgeous that we're simply Dunn. Finished. We can't take any more.
Read on for her sexiest Instagram photos - we suggest keeping a fan nearby.

In the past few weeks, we've been privy to tons of information about the next installment of the game-changing FX series.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to introduce you to a few of Cult's star players.
1 Annoying Thing From the Jon/Daenerys Scene You Only Noticed If You're a Woman
One of the great feats of Game of Thrones is that for the hour every Sunday I spend watching each episode, I'm completely transported from reality and taken deep into the wild world of Westeros. When I was watching "The Queen's Justice," however, one scene felt all too real. Like, ripped-from-the-headlines, why-am-I-still-protesting-this-sh*t real.
It was the much-anticipated meeting of Jon Snow and Daenerys, and it went a little something like this:
Missandei: "You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful queen of the Andals and the First Men, protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains."
Davos: "This is Jon Snow."
(Awkward silence . . .)
Davos: "He's King of the North."
The long-awaited scene garnered lots of chatter on social media, namely that the whole laundry list of Daenerys's titles is getting to be rather annoying, as is Daenerys herself, and about how refreshing it is that Jon Snow doesn't concern himself with accolades. He's the real deal.
Did no one else see what I saw?
Because I was watching the most obvious metaphor for sexism in the workplace, the most stereotypical man-versus-woman job interview in fake history.
Here's this orphan girl, who spent the better part of her life being subjugated by men, toiling endlessly to rise up and do some good along the way (ahem, she freed a bunch of slaves). She's now in a position of power, backed by a killer résumé. She's a working mom with three unruly toddlers, she's proud of her accomplishments, and she isn't about to be all modest about it.
And here's Jon Snow, a bastard with no birthright, yes, but a man who apparently needs no introduction just the same.
Sure, Daenerys spent a good deal of time on "bend-the-knee" semantics when there are justly some bigger undead fish to fry, but before everyone writes off Dany as just another bossy b*tch, consider the context.
Daenerys hasn't seen Jon Snow in action - she doesn't know what he's done or what he's gone through to get here, that he took a knife to the heart and straight-up died for his people. At this point, she's meeting yet another man who's probably planning to betray, rape, or murder her. ("So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names," she aptly puts it.) She has good reason to stand her ground and push for what she believes is justly hers.
Anyone who thinks she shouldn't needs to stop and ask themselves why.
I love Jon Snow as much as the next GOT fan, but before everyone starts lifting him up on their shoulders while piling mud atop Daenerys, remember that they both want the same thing, whether they admit it or not. They want to rule. Jon might seem above titles, but he certainly didn't seem willing to let his go.
Perhaps I read into this and the bitter realities of our male-dominated world had no place in that intimidating meeting room in Dragonstone, but I can't help but think that none of these eye-roll-emoji-filled tweets about Daenerys would be making the rounds if she weren't a woman.

6 Totally Bonkers Exchanges From Trump's Calls With Mexico and Australia
Leaks have been a constant problem for President Donald Trump. While White House staffers continue to frantically finger-point and play musical chairs, the American people are being treated to daily batches of information that are quite clearly not meant for public consumption. Case in point: on Aug. 3, The Washington Post published transcripts it was given by someone inside the White House of two phone calls Trump made earlier this year. One was with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and the other with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The readouts of these calls make clear that the president uses the same bombastic tone he uses with his detractors with the leaders of foreign nations and doesn't feel it necessary to pander to anyone outside of his base. As a result, they make for some pretty wild (and often unbelievable) reading.
Here, we've pulled together six of the most downright bonkers exchanges that Trump had with the two men. And as you read through, be sure to remember that this isn't speculation or hearsay - these are real, recorded conversations that the president unquestionably had with the president of Mexico and the prime minister of Australia in the year 2017.
Is This Cara Delevingne's Sexiest Look Ever?
Cara Delevingne has been giving us a lesson in wearing silver recently, from her "sexy tin man" Met Gala outfit to the incredible jeweled collar she sported over her Burberry tuxedo at the UK premiere of Valerian. But she just topped the lot when she stepped out in a seriously sexy Atelier Versace number for the film's Mexico City premiere on Wednesday. The dress from the Autumn 2017 couture collection is made up of tiny shimmering light-reflecting discs, with sculpted panels on the waist and bustline that gave it an architectural feel. Teamed with equally shimmering strappy sandals and a platinum cropped 'do, Cara shone from head to toe, and that's before she turned around! Let's just say with a dress this sheer, you have to think carefully about undergarments, and it looks like this particular dress has some very clever lining panels hidden within. Take a closer look for yourself now.
How to Make a No-Bake Watermelon Cake, in Pictures
I don't even have a vent in my kitchen, so the thought of baking on a scorching Summer day is completely out of the question. Thankfully, there are ways to skirt around the oven issue, like with this no-bake watermelon cake. The catch is, there is no cake! A miniwatermelon, whipped cream, slivered almonds, and berries are all you need to create this Pinterest-worthy dessert for 12.
