EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. Forgive the cliché, but we genuinely have a lot going on at the moment — with the Slack receipts to prove it. In addition to the wedding NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch referred to as “an event we are tracking at Madison Square Garden” (more on that below), here’s what else is on my radar:

My 11-year-old and I celebrated the United States’ 250th birthday last night by watching one of our greatest cultural exports, 1991’s Father of the Bride. What’s more American than Steve Martin’s hot dog bun crashout, I ask you?
National Women’s Soccer League star Trinity Rodman is on a hair journey that I don’t think any of us should miss.
Zendaya’s latest look — call it “heat-dome-conscious goddess chic” — continues to set the tone for what we can expect from the rest of her Odyssey press tour. As her stylist, Law Roach, said recently, “Don’t threaten me with a theme.”
While I wish happiness and a good defense lawyer to the couple who got engaged while illegally scaling the Empire State Building, the real story here is her manicure.
The US men’s soccer team plays Belgium in the FIFA World Cup tomorrow night after a hard-fought win against Bosnia and Herzegovina last week. No more red cards, please. Even Caitlin Clark was stressed.

🍰 Yeah, it’s waaay too hot to turn on your oven. These no-bake desserts are here to save the day (and your sweet tooth). We’re practically drooling over No. 16.

⚓️ These niche supply stores could be the secret to decorating a tiny apartment. Who knew?

🩳 Still can’t figure out how to style those long baggy shorts every fashion-y girl is wearing right now? Neither could we, until we saw these super wearable outfit ideas.

👗 Move over, Nap Dress — the sundress style taking over this summer is just as comfy and breathable as it is effortlessly cool.

👟 If Amal can look this perfectly on-trend in these solidly 2018 sneakers, so can we.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to bring you the news even your most offline friend probably knows already: Taylor Swift is officially a married woman. After months of speculation, she and Mr. Americana (sorry, Travis Kelce) tied the knot in a big, fat, star-studded wedding on Friday night at New York’s Madison Square Garden. In addition to all the usual suspects — all 1,000 or so of them — who showed up in their finest black tie, there was one former “squad” member we were truly shocked made the cut, plus a few (hundred) more surprises on the guest list as well. (Did anyone know she was friends with our favorite 2000s hip-hop power couple? Because we, certainly, did not.) That’s not the only reason we wish Zoë Kravitz had taken us as her plus-one: There’s the reported live musical performances (as in more than one), which we can agree absolutely put your wedding band to shame; the sweet tribute to the first (publicized) date heard round the world; and the rumored party favors, which featured some of Taylor’s own lyrics (maybe not the song we’d have picked, but hey, a bop is a bop). Of course, the bride wore a custom dress by one of her favorite designers (the Easter eggs feel so obvious now) and yes, we’re still frantically refreshing Instagram for a glimpse of the gown.

Even though we got a very small, very specific peek at their party (which included a red carpet) the day after, we're probably never going to know everything that happened inside MSG. But considering how much mental space we’ve given to this event over the past 10 months since our English teacher and gym teacher announced their engagement, we’re not satisfied with just a few crumbs. So we have some very serious guesses about how the rest of the night went down:

Taylor rolled to the aisle in her old ride from the Eras Tour to an orchestral version of “Wood.” In the coming days, it will be released on all major streaming platforms as “Wood (’Til Death Do Us Part Version).”
Travis’s brother and best man, Jason Kelce, gave a toast, but was incomprehensible over the sound of his sobs. Kylie Kelce, ever the OG, remained unfazed.
The newlyweds’ first dance was to “Thinking Out Loud,” performed live by Ed Sheeran, who sat at a table next to this fellow Reputation alum.
The bride gave the DJ a do-not-play list longer than her vows. (Don’t worry, we won’t get our hopes up about her playing anything off a certain singer’s new album.)
Guests were treated to signature cocktails named after the bride’s beloved cats (we don’t have to tell you which one Mariska Hargitay ordered) and to late-night bites of chicken tenders with her favorite condiment.
We can’t explain how we know this, but we just do: Este Haim did the worm, and she did it perfectly.

What a way to close out Pride Month: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Layla Taylor just came out as bi. Let's all raise a dirty soda in congratulations.

If this heat has you ready to hunker down indoors and stay there, then turn up your AC and turn on Netflix, because we’ve got a mystery to watch. I Will Find You (adapted from Harlan Coben’s novel by the same name) dropped last month, but this week it started breaking records as the most-watched Netflix series debut so far this year. The story follows David (Sam Worthington), a father wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of his son, Matthew (Jasper Rainn Lawrence). Upon learning that Matthew might actually still be alive, David breaks out of prison and, with the help of Severance’s Britt Lower, sets off to uncover the truth and find his son. It’s got twists, it’s got turns, and most importantly, it’s got Milo Ventimiglia. Need we say more?

What are the summer pants we like again?

Uniqlo Linen Blend Easy Pants

Caroline, senior commerce editor, here. There are few things worse than when you are hot, sweaty, and sticking to a subway seat in short shorts. That’s why these linen pants have quietly become one of my favorite summer-in-the-city wardrobe staples. They’re soft, airy, and have a drawstring waist — which I consider the trifecta of cool (both aesthetically and temperature-wise) for the perfect summer pants. Plus, they don’t drag on the ground, which given my 5-foot frame is always a win. I grabbed them in blue, but honestly, I’m now eyeing the cotton-candy pink. I think it’d look unexpectedly chic with black accessories.
