Kaley Cuoco ties the knot in Reem Acra gown

DUBAI: Hollywood star Kaley Cuoco tied the knot over the weekend and looked stunning in a custom-made Reem Acra wedding dress.
“The Big Bang Theory” actress married professional equestrian Karl Cook at a horse stable near San Diego, California, on June 30 and shared snaps from her laid-back nuptials on Instagram using the adorable hashtag, #kcsquared.
Cuoco, 32, chose a lace gown-and-cape combination by Lebanese designer Reem Acra for her big day and wore her hair in a relaxed chignon with soft waves cascading around her face along with a floral headpiece by New York-based designer Jennifer Behr.
“Wearing custom @reemacra in my dream cape,” she wrote on social media.

The bride then changed into a lace jumpsuit by Japanese designer Tadashi Shoji for the reception and topped it off with a glamorous pony tail.
Co-star — and ex-boyfriend — Johnny Galecki took to social media to share a sweet message with the happy couple.
Galecki, who played the character of Leonard Hofstadter on the comedy since 2007, wrote: “Couldn’t be happier for my fake wife @normancook and @mrtankcook whose words brought us all to tears last night. So much love for you both.”
“Deepest congrats to the newlyweds. Love you both so much, @normancook and @mrtankcook. So moved by tonight,” he added in another post on Instagram.
Galecki was joined by co-stars Mayim Bialik and Wil Wheaton who also partied the night away at the couple’s animal-themed reception.
“Congratulations to Kaley Cuoco! Wearing @ReemAcraWedding on her big day,” the Lebanese design house wrote on Instagram, alongside a close-up shot of Cuoco in the dreamy dress.
The ceremony followed a pink-themed hen party earlier in the week. Cuoco shared photos on Instagram showing a room decorated with pink balloons and tassels, along with a tiered stand of delicious-looking iced cupcakes.
Cuoco and Cook, 27, got engaged in November with the actress telling People Magazine that her future husband is her “perfect match.”
She revealed that one of the couple’s philanthropic pastimes is rescuing animals.
“He lets me wake up in the morning and say, ‘I want to go and rescue rabbits.’ And he’s like, ‘Alright, let’s get a coffee and let’s go.’ And that is him. We are the same, our views are the same, our morals are the same, he is my perfect match,” she told the magazine.
Cuoco was previously married to tennis player Ryan Sweeting, however, the couple split in September 2015 after 21 months of marriage.

Arab designers shine bright at the Golden Globes

DUBAI/ LOS ANGELES: Arab designers dressed a handful of stars at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes on Sunday, with talent from Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia among the designers to be featured on the awards ceremony red carpet. 

Show host Nikki Glaser took to the red carpet at the event in a baby pink gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.

The outfit, one of many costume changes for Glaser on Sunday night, hailed from his Resort 2026 collection.

For her part, Kylie Jenner was spotted at the awards ceremony in a custom-made silver gown by Saudi couturier Mohammed Ashi, the founder of Paris-based label Ashi Studio.

Irish TV personality Maura Higgins looked elegant in a figure-hugging black gown with a textured golden shawl-like accessory by Dubai-based Egyptian designer Marmar Halim.

 Timothee Chalamet and a sea of other stars also said goodbye to color at this year's Golden Globes, opting instead for black.

Ariana Grande left behind her “Wicked” character's signature pink color for a black Vivienne Westwood couture dress but brought back her ponytail. Other notable celebrities in black included Ayo Edebiri, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Mia Goth.

Edebiri chose a black off-the-shoulder Chanel dress embellished with jewels on the shoulders from Matthieu Blazy’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show.

Celebrities held onto their gowns and watched their steps as they posed for photos on high stairs that served as the red carpet. Like the Met Gala, they lined up at the bottom and had to perilously climb their way up.

The 83rd Golden Globes gives a glimpse into how celebrities will showcase their original take on fashion as the awards season progresses. Since 1944, the show has honored the best in film and television.

The carpet, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, is a chance for nominees to make a statement, though some are beholden to fashion houses who pay them as ambassadors.

Several, including George Clooney, wore Giorgio Armani. The fashion world lost Armani in September, but his eponymous brand lives on.

“It was nice to see so many attendees, including Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson, wearing the brand and pay tribute,” said Véronique Hyland, fashion features director for Elle.

Stars also shone in metallics. “Sentimental Value” actor Renate Reinsve twirled on the carpet in a shimmery silver tasseled dress by Nicolas Ghesquiere for Louis Vuitton. Her co-star Elle Fanning's Gucci dress was embroidered with Norwegian flowers in honor of their Norwegian drama film.
