"Delphine Manivet and Christos Costarellos are faves of mine for their uniqueness and beauty. And I will always be a fan of Ellie Saab. J. Mendel is spectacular as well, especially for more structural designs," she said. "Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist. I personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic," the actress added. Meghan also revealed her favorite celebrity wedding dress, telling the magazine the Narciso Rodriguez dress Carolyn Bessette Kennedy wore when she married John F.

Susan Sarandon slams Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, says we would be at war if Hillary had won the election
Susan Sarandon isn't done bad-mouthing Hillary Clinton. The actress was among Bernie Sanders' most vocal celebrity supporters and has said she voted for Jill Stein when Bernie lost in the primaries. In a new interview with The Guardian, she says things would be bad if Hillary Clinton had taken office. She takes aim at Barack Obama as well, suggesting his misdeeds flew under the radar when he was president. "I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn't be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn't notice," she says (via HuffPo). She goes on to explain why she voted for a Green Party candidate. "Well, I knew that New York was going to go [for Hillary]," she says. "It was probably the easiest place to vote for Stein. Bringing attention to working-class issues is not a luxury. People are really hurting; that's how this guy got in. What we should be discussing is not the election, but how we got to the point where Trump was the answer."
