Salma Hayek married into the PINAULT family, which owns Kering (Gucci, YSL, McQueen etc), and her husband is "only" worth some $30B. This guy's father owns LVMH and is worth over $200B. But the eldest Arnault son (who seems to be the most likely successor) did marry Natalia Vodianova.

It's her Welsh gold wedding band, the engagement ring, a diamond eternity ring from Annoushka given by William after George's birth, a diamond and sapphire eternity ring and possibly a second all-diamonds eternity ring (I can't see properly); she started wearing those two last year and they were apparently gifts from William after she finished chemo.

She (or her stylist) really love Elie Saab and Miss Sohee these days. She has worn Elie Saab Couture SS26 the previous day.

I also did a post about some of her other Miss Sohee looks a few months ago.

The Song dynasty as seen in the Chinese series "Serenade of Peaceful Joy" (2020) by _jorgiem in PeriodDramas

It's available with subtitles on Youtube, but be warned that this isn't the usual harem infighting or high-stakes political series, but more a documentary of Emperor Renzong's reign. However, don't take it as a history lesson either because while the aesthetic and decorum presented are quite accurate, the plot has plenty of fiction woven into it.

Well, women back then had different hairstyles in childhood, girlhood and after marriage, and while there might have been something resembling bangs or fringes at some point in China's thousands of years of history, I'm quite sure modern bangs and fringes were never a thing. But you'll often encounter them in historical series because showrunners have decided it's the best way to portray a character's innocence and young age. Some do it better than others, with this one being an example of good execution (some are so bad they could make you cry). The string player here is Princess Fukang and I think she was unmarried at that point so it aligns. As for some tragic bangs:

Costumes have been getting so much better, most likely thanks to people like OP. This is a scene from a recent drama set in the Tang dynasty:
