 Target Launches Bridal Collection (And Not One Wedding Dress is Over $129)
Sorry bridezillas, but we think this is genius: Target has launched an in-house line of bridal dresses called Tevolio—and it’s quite chic. The kicker: Every wedding dress costs between $99.99 and $129.99.
The line—a loose translation of the Italian phrase Ti Voglio (“I love you”)—also features customizable dresses for bridesmaids and flower girls, but we’re seriously impressed with the gowns for the lady of the hour. However, princess brides and cupcake wannabes can stop reading now, as the silhouettes offered are super-minimalist and sleek—two Carolyn Bessette-style silky sleeveless cuts, one capped-sleeve style, and one simple strapless gown.
It seems exceptionally smart of the mass retailer to break into the bridal game, especially since women historically love to buy items that look chic without spending a ton of money. Plus, during the last ten years or so, Target has become an acceptable—even preferred—place for style-minded consumers to go, so it’ll be interesting to see if that mindset spills over into wedding dress shopping.
It’s also worth noting that Target smartly decided to manufacture each dress in a wide range of sizes—wedding gowns span sizes 2 to 18, while bridesmaids styles go up to size 24.

Cannes: Behind-the-Scenes at Dior’s Beauty Suite
Every year at Cannes, Dior sets up shop at the Majestic — the massive five-star hotel on the Croisette that serves as base camp for film-festival shmoozing. While most of the showbiz crowd runs from event to event like crazed chickens, stars wearing Dior gowns to premieres are whisked up to the sprawling sixth-floor suite to be made up by pros before facing the flashing lights and screaming fans. Here, silence and calm reign: Spotless makeup stations are tucked into discreet corners; the nail bar is stocked with every color. All this is set off by the jaw-dropping sweep of the Mediterranean — and a bird’s-eye view of the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals. And after finishing with a client, the makeup team gathers on the wraparound terrace to cheer them on as they climb the Palais steps. La classe.
