Will Lainey Wilson Walk Down the Aisle in Bell Bottoms?

When it comes to fashion, Lainey Wilson has one unmistakable signature: bell bottoms. But will she even feature them in her nuptials?

Whether she’s on stage, at an award show, or just walking through an airport, she’s almost never seen without them. So naturally, fans are wondering — will she wear bell bottoms on her wedding day?

According to Lainey herself, maybe… but not down the aisle. She recently joked that she might save the bell bottoms for the afterparty or the reception, hinting that even though she loves her flared look, she might go a little more traditional for the actual ceremony.

What’s on her wedding day playlist?

Lainey and her fiancé, former NFL player Duck Hodges, haven’t picked a wedding song yet either, but she says it’ll probably be something by Eric Church. In her words, “Eric Church is the artist we kind of bonded over,” which sounds like a pretty sweet full-circle moment for the country star couple.

If you’re keeping track, that means the odds are high that their first dance will be to something from Church’s catalog — maybe “Like Jesus Does” or “You Make It Look So Easy”? Either way, it’s bound to fit the vibe: country, heartfelt, and just a little rock and roll.

As for the dress code, fans might still want to keep their eyes open. Knowing Lainey’s love for bell bottoms, it wouldn’t be shocking if she finds a way to sneak them into her wedding weekend — maybe as part of a sparkly afterparty jumpsuit, or even a reception outfit that lets her move a little easier on the dance floor.

Dolly Parton Sets the Record Straight: She’s Fine, Y’all!

Dolly Parton wants her fans to know that she’s not dying, thank you very much.

The country legend, 79, hopped online to calm everyone down after her sister Freida recently asked for prayers and accidentally sent the internet into a spiral of panic.

In a new video from the set of an upcoming Grand Ole Opry commercial, Dolly looked radiant as ever and made it clear she’s still got plenty of songs left to sing. “I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am,” she said with a laugh.

“Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here! Anyway, I wanted to put everybody’s mind at ease, and I appreciate your prayers because I’m a person of faith.”

Dolly explained that she hasn’t been feeling her best, but it’s nothing dramatic. “When [my husband Carl] passed, I didn’t take care of myself,” she admitted. “So I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of.” She added that she’s fine, though, and that her faith and fans’ love keep her going. “There are just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay. I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working.”

Her rep confirmed that Dolly is in good health and just waiting for a procedure to deal with some kidney stones. Nothing more, nothing less.

As for Freida, she’s grateful fans rallied behind her sister but said she didn’t mean to alarm anyone. “Thank you all for lifting her up,” Freida wrote. “Your love truly makes a difference.”

So rest easy, Dolly fans. The Queen of Country isn’t going anywhere.

She’s still busy working, still cracking jokes, and still shining like rhinestones under a spotlight.

Post Malone Launched His Fashion Label in Paris, with Denim, Beer, and a Horse

Post Malone is officially a fashion designer now, and he did not roll out his debut quietly. The rapper-turned-style icon hit Paris on Monday with a full-on runway show to launch his new label, Austin Post Apparel—yes, he went with his real name for the brand.

Posty described the line as “a new creative expression and soulful extension of his identity,” and his first collection is called At First Light. The vibe? Dallas western mixed with Southwest ranch. Think cowboy grit with a couture twist.

And because this is Post Malone, the show wasn’t just your standard walk-the-runway event. One model rode in on an actual horse, proving the man really commits to a theme. Then Malone himself closed things out, strutting in all-denim with a beer in hand like he was equal parts ranch hand and rock star.

The collection leans heavily into Western Americana, which makes sense for Malone, who has Texas roots and lives in Utah. Denim dominated the runway, along with bold ranch-inspired pieces meant to fuse rugged practicality with modern high fashion.

Fashion insiders are already buzzing about how Malone might shake up the luxury scene. Celebrity lines can be hit or miss, but his debut definitely made people look twice. Between the horse, the beer, and the cowboy-cool aesthetic, he sent a clear message: this isn’t just merch, it’s his personal style blown up into a full collection.

And honestly, it makes sense. Posty’s been quietly influencing fashion for years, from his signature face tattoos and oversized flannels to his love of Crocs (he’s done multiple sold-out collabs with the brand). Now, instead of just being a muse, he’s steering the whole thing himself.

Fans online had mixed reactions—some praising the authenticity of his ranch-inspired looks, others laughing at the sight of a horse on a Paris runway. But love it or not, it’s pure Post Malone: unpredictable, playful, and impossible to ignore.

So, will Austin Post Apparel become the next big name in fashion? Too early to tell. But one thing’s for sure: Posty knows how to put on a show, and fashion weeks around the world might never look at cowboys the same way again.
