Gwendoline Christie is always a formidable, striking presence on screen. Most recently, she starred alongside Jenna Ortega in Netflix's "Wednesday" as Larissa Weems, the principal of Nevermore Academy where Ortega's titular heroine goes to school. Before that, Christie appeared as Lucifer in the streamer's "The Sandman" series, which was renewed last fall. Fans, of course, first fell in love with her as the greatest knight in Westeros, Ser Brienne of Tarth, in "Game of Thrones," and she brought her sword-fighting skills to outer space for the Star Wars sequel trilogy, where she played Captain Phasma. And while her acting chops are top-notch, there's another reason Christie makes such an impact in everything she appears in: her incredibly tall height.
How tall is Christie? The 44-year-old actor clocks in at 6'3" (191 centimeters in the metric system). Her "Wednesday" costars really help emphasize her height, too: Ortega and Christina Ricci...

A few weeks ago, during a reflective conversation, a friend described 2020 as a fever dream. The uncertainty provoked by the pandemic and the potential of that summer’s uprisings brought many people closer to understanding the demands they could make of themselves and each other to create a safer world. It was a year of answering calls to action, of protesting and demonstrating, of helping neighbors, of corporate promises to listen and learn, of checking in emotionally and checking out of the death-making capitalist machine. An intoxicating energy coursed through those days — no wonder it felt unreal.
If 2020 was marked by promises, then 2022 was defined by their ghosts. How many of those pledges went unfulfilled? How many commitments were quietly abandoned? Lethargy settled in as we continued to live in unprecedented times: Corporate profits increased while individual pockets and sanities contracted, scientists and...

Gwendoline Christie rose to mainstream fame as Brienne of Tarth on "Game of Thrones," but in real life, the former model is a fashion icon. So it makes sense that her longtime partner is British fashion designer Giles Deacon. The couple have been together since early 2013.
Deacon is perhaps most famous for crafting Pippa Middleton's wedding dress, but he's also designed for celebs including Kate Hudson, Billy Porter, and Sarah Jessica Parker. His work was featured in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2019 Camp exhibit, which was the theme of that year's Met Gala. And, of course, Deacon has designed looks for Christie.
Their creative collaborations have extended beyond the red carpet, too. In 2019, Christie starred in a production of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" in London as Titania. The two dresses she wore in the show were designed by Deacon and created by his team. "I know and love the...

Pippa Middleton married James Matthews in Berkshire, UK, on May 20, 2017, and naturally, one of the esteemed guests was her older sister, Kate. While the duchess opted out of a traditional matron of honor role - reports said she didn't want to "upstage her sister" on the big day - she did fulfill sweet sisterly wedding duties, like tending to the bride's Giles Deacon gown, fixing her veil, and wrangling all the tiny page boys and flower girls, including her own two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Pippa's ceremony came just over six years after she became the breakout star at Kate's royal wedding to Prince William. Kate's appearance instantly reminded us of Pippa's back in 2011 - of course, Kate's beautiful rose-colored Alexander McQueen look doesn't quite rival Pippa's curve-hugging bridesmaid gown, but her loving looks and doting interactions are definitely the same.

Supermodel Kate Moss was named Model Of The Year at the British Fashion Awards in London Thursday night - just a year after her alleged cocaine scandal. The English beauty lost several high-profile modeling jobs last year after British newspaper the Daily Mirror published images which showed her snorting cocaine in a London recording studio. Moss checked into an Arizona rehabilitation clinic following the revelations. At the star-studded ceremony at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the awards panel praised Moss as "a fashion icon and without doubt one of the most prolific models in the industry. She has now been modeling for over 15 years and remains at the top of her game." Other winners on the night included Vivienne Westwood for Red Carpet Designer and Giles Deacon for Designer Of The Year.
