One netizen remarked, “Oh wow. She’s a young Vanna,” while another commented on Gigi’s resemblance to her father, George Santo Pietro, “Definitely favors Vanna but got her Dad’s Italian complexion! A beautiful combination! Happy Birthday, Giovanna!”

Vanna’s Instagram post featured a side-by-side photo of Gigi as a baby and an adult. In the baby picture of Gigi, she was wearing a white shirt and blue dress. The right picture featured Gigi today, sporting sunglasses, a sleeveless top, and a stunning arm tattoo.

This rare glimpse of Gigi prompted more reactions online. “Looks a lot like you Vanna only darker features! Happy Birthday!” chimed in another fan. A fourth stated, “She has your beauty,” suggesting that Gigi’s looks are inherited from her mother.

Vanna’s Instagram post included a sweet birthday message to her daughter: “Happy 27th to my amazing daughter @gigisantopietro! You are so beautiful, smart, kind and a talented artist! I love you Gigi! ❤️ #happybirthday #love #tattooartist #lincolntattoocompany”

Vanna did not only celebrate Gigi through her hashtags, she also celebrated her artistic talent. In a 2023 interview, Vanna expressed her admiration for Gigi’s career as a tattoo artist. She admitted that she “never dreamed” her youngest child who graduated from New York University with an art degree, would pursue tattooing.

Vanna recalled a heartfelt conversation with Gigi about her chosen passion. She fondly remembered asking, “Gigi, why tattooing?” Gigi responded to her profoundly: “Mom, my art is on someone’s body for the rest of their lives.”

The former “Wheel of Fortune” co-host expressed, “I was like, ‘That’s pretty cool.’ You have to be so good and confident. You can’t mess up. So she absolutely loves it. She’s been doing that for the past three years and is doing a great job. I’m so, so proud of her.”

The proud mother even revealed her openness to getting a tattoo from Gigi. “You know what, I want to have matching hearts where she’ll do a little heart on me and she’ll do one on herself. I feel like I need to do that because it’s her and it would be her on me,” she said. Besides Gigi, Vanna has grown close to her rarely-seen son.

What Was Wrong with George Clooney’s Wife’s Floral Dress?

Defending her title as the reigning queen of European vacation style, Amal Clooney, 46, wore a floral-print ensemble while on vacation with her dashing beau George Clooney, 63. Bringing a summer luxe feel to Saint-Tropez on June 29, Amal looked radiant in her dress; however, the public felt differently.

According to a profile Vogue published of the human rights lawyer’s outfit, Amal was spotted wearing the summery dress as she left Jardin Tropezina hand-in-hand with George, where the couple had lunch. Capturing the essence of an ideal lunch date under the sun, Amal’s mini dress featured a range of white, pink, orange, and neon yellow flowers.

The outfit was made of pink toile fabric, and the nude peep-toe heels Amal wore complemented it. She also accessorized her look with a white shoulder bag and oversized dark shades. The ruffle embellished dress she stepped out in is a vintage design from fashion powerhouse icon Donatella Versace.

The dress, featuring an asymmetrical hemline and a tiered skirt, was showcased in Versace’s 2004 spring collection, known as the “Diva Alert.” This collection was trendy among A-list “It girls” Lindsay Lohan, Liv Tyler, and Britney Spears, who have worn the same print Amal opted for.

Donatella’s iconic spring 2004 collection also saw model Fernanda Tavares rock the same floral dress on the runway. However, the only difference was that it was free of flowers. Another model, Isabeli Fontana, adorned a similar dress in the same show, with this one being longer in length, neon-colored, and featuring a plunging neckline.

Shining a spotlight on Amal’s fashionable moment, Vogue took to Instagram to share a photo of her and George on the same day she wore the “Carrie Bradshaw-approved” dress.

They accompanied their post with a lengthy caption reading, “Quiet luxury? Amal Clooney doesn’t know her. The reigning queen of European vacation style has returned to the continent to defend her crown, kicking off the summer with a vintage piece originally featured in Versace’s spring 2004 collection.”

Although Amal’s dress comes from a widely praised and sought-after designer collection, the garment’s charm and allure went unnoticed by many people who were unimpressed with it. “Childish and cheap,” remarked an Instagrammer.

Expressing love for Amal but disdain for what she wore, another social media user commented, “Amal looks great, the dress is tacky and tasteless.” Echoing the criticism, someone else noted, “The dress looks a bit old and not the right look for her unless they are glamping.”

Jumping on the dislike bandwagon, another Instagrammer noted, “Sorry Amal but you are too smart to wear those shoes in St Tropez!” However, amid the backlash, other people thought the dress was beautiful and perfectly suited for Amal.

“Nice dress 👗,” complimented a fan while another expressed, “Ohh fancy.” “So cute!” exclaimed an admirer on Facebook. Swooning over Amal, another fan gushed, “She is beautiful!”

There was also praise for Amal and George as a couple. One admirer took to the comment section of a post made about the fashion statement, writing, “Such a beautiful couple ❤️❤️.”

Amal’s floral Versace number, which Vogue says she likely got from Emerieu Shop online, is only one of many vintage pieces she has collected over time. Regarding her fashion sense, she usually opts for sustainable dressing when planning an outfit for an occasion.

Why Was Susan Sarandon’s Daughter’s Wedding Dress Criticized?

Like a page straight out of a fairytale, Eva Amurri, daughter to iconic actress Susan Sarandon and famous director Franco Amurri, wed her beloved fiancé, Ian Hock, on June 29 in a stunning garden-themed ceremony. Pictures of the bride and groom saying “I do” in New York’s Hudson Valley have prompted strong reactions from the public, especially where Eva’s dress is concerned.

Opting for a more personal and intimate gathering, Eva and Ian exchanged vows in front of 40 guests. In addition to Eva’s mother, the guests included Susan’s ex, Tim Robbins. Adding a layer of sweetness to the day was the fact that the 39-year-old lifestyle blogger and actress’s children played a special role in the ceremony.

Marlowe Mae, Major James, and Mateo Antoni Martino, whom Eva shares with her ex-husband Kyle Martino, performed a traditional handfasting using ribbons they picked out themselves.

Speaking about incorporating her kids in her special day, Eva, who also shared an array of images from her big day on her Instagram Story, explained, “We really wanted to center our little family unit in all of it, and make it as much about the kids as it was about us.”

Regarding the main event of the day—meeting her now-husband at the alter—Eva walked down the aisle to a live acoustic version of the late and great Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” She donned a stunning, strapless, corseted gown designed by Kim Kassas, which featured a billowing skirt and a column shape.

She bought the dress in New York City at a shop called Bridal Reflections and divulged, “I love how it has a vintage feel and is ultra feminine without being overly pouffy. I wanted to feel sexy but elegant, and I think the dress strikes the perfect balance.”

Unfortunately, the majority of the public does not share Eva’s sentiments about her wedding gown, as many took to online platforms to express their disdain. “Inappropriate dress,” commented a social media user.

Echoing the sentiment, another expressed, “Don’t like Bridal gown too much Exposed.” “The dress is tasteless,” wrote someone else. An Instagrammer remarked, “What a tacky dress for a 40 year [old’s] second marriage.”

Commenting on what Eva’s mom wore, a fan praised, “Love Susan’s suit!” Amid the negative comments Eva received, there was a sweet message from an admirer.

The admirer penned, “Congratulations to you both ❤️❤️ or should I say all of you ❤️ you look gorgeous Eva 😍 I love your wedding dress 👰 your family is beautiful your Mom and dad look amazing ❤️.”

Aside from what Eva wore, her groom looked dapper in his SuitShop custom-made navy blue suit. The same design company also made Eva’s sons tan suits which were tailored to their sizes.

The mother-of-the-bride, who features in several endearing images with her beloved daughter and family, rocked a colorful floral pantsuit, perfect for the day’s aesthetic. Her famous actor ex, Tim, rocked a classy navy suit with a white formal shirt underneath.

Sticking with the designer of her wedding gown, Eva changed into another Kim Kassas dress later in the day. Her second dress featured feather trim, sparkles, and floral lace.

Speaking of her second ensemble, Eva said, “I paired it with custom Nike Air Force Ones that were embellished with pearls and our wedding date. It felt like Priscilla Prseley-meets-street-style!”

Other heartwarming details concerning Eva and Ian’s special day included their decision to exchange love letters they had written themselves as their vows and their couple’s first dance. Eva and Ian swayed to Taylor Swift’s “Lover,” a song that bears significance to their relationship.

“Then we danced a family dance to ‘Joy’ by Andy Grammer, which is our special family song,” Eva noted. Even though Ian is not the biological father of Eva’s kids, he considers them as his own.

Sharing insights into the close bond Ian has forged with Eva’s children, the doting mom disclosed, “Watching him with the kids the last four years has been incredible as well. He is already the best stepparent ever.”
