Meghan Markle is looking as chic as ever. While the Duchess of Sussex always looks effortlessly luxe, I was star struck after seeing her in an Instagram photo posted by As Ever, Markle’s lifestyle brand. The A-lister was the epitome of ‘hostess with the mostess,’ serving sparkling wine that’s “finished with a few fresh raspberries for garnish,” and this is all while wearing the slip burgundy dress of my dreams.

The entertaining expert couldn’t look more regal while wearing the Heidi Merrick Marion Slip Dress. Markle styled the getup in the most sophisticated and understated way with minimal gold jewelry, including a choker necklace, single bangle bracelet and dainty wedding bands. Despite the no-frills aesthetic, the designer dress is actually $495 — so we found a similar style that delivers Markle’s look for $445 less.

Slip dresses are no muss, no fuss — just easy elegance. This under-$50 satin midi slip embodies that, featuring a V-neckline and a cowl-style back with a tie-up design that’s effortlessly rich. You’ll also appreciate the gathered bust detail that accentuates the chest and the relaxed yet fitted design that shows off your hourglass figure.

I adore the rich burgundy color of Markle’s satiny dress, which is stunning for evening wear. However, if red isn’t your favorite color, you’re in luck! This Amazon version comes in over 20 to choose from, including brown, navy and champagne.

If you’re skeptical about the quality of the dress, real-life shoppers can’t say enough good things about it. One reviewer said that it “looks much more expensive than it is, and is beautiful on.” They even shared that the material is “thick enough to cover any problem areas” and the seams “are somewhat angled, giving more of an hourglass appearance.” Another noted that the dress is a “great find for the price,” with the main caveat from commenters being that the gown notably runs small. A small fix: Size up!

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or attending a wedding, you can look like royalty on a budget. This under-$50 slip dress perfectly mirrors Markle’s simple yet elegant aesthetic, and is a statement in and of itself.

Diddy‘s prison release date has reportedly been updated amid his fight to appeal his 4-year sentence.

Diddy’s Prison Release Date Reportedly Updated

On Tuesday, March 2, Page Six published an exclusive report asserting that the Federal Bureau of Prisons updated Diddy’s prison release date. Per the outlet, the bureau updated Diddy’s release date from June 4, 2028, to April 25, 2028.

Furthermore, the outlet notes that the update arrived after Diddy was accepted into the drug rehabilitation program at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in November 2025. At the time, it was reportedly noted that his acceptance could lower his time behind bars.

“Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start. He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change,” a rep for Diddy reportedly told the press at the time of his acceptance.

Social Media Reacts To His Updated Prison Release Date

Social media users reacted to Diddy’s updated prison release date in TSR’s comment section.

More On Diddy’s Prison Release Updates & His Fight To Appeal His 4-Year Sentence

As The Shade Room previously reported, Diddy’s initial prison release date was announced in October 2025. At the time, it was reported that he would be behind bars until May 8, 2028. However, it was also noted that the date was subject to change and could be altered if he displayed good behavior.

Then, in November 2025, it was reported that Diddy’s prison release date was pushed back until June 4, 2028, per The Shade Room. At the time, Page Six reported that he was involved in an unauthorized three-way phone call and participated in illegal alcohol consumption. However, his rep denied the “rumor.”

“As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there — most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth,” the rep stated at the time.

In December 2025, Diddy and his legal team filed an appeal against his four-year prison sentence, per The Shade Room. Furthermore, his team reportedly demanded his immediate release and argued that prosecutors failed to prove their case against him. Additionally, they reportedly argued that Judge Arub Subramanian issued a sentence that violated Diddy’s constitutional rights.

Per Page Six, in February, prosecutors opposed Diddy’s appeal. As The Shade Room previously reported, Diddy was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution charges in July 2025. Furthermore, he was acquitted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges after an eight-week trial.

Carrie Underwood is seemingly relishing in the boos she received on American Idol.

“Boo me. I don’t care. 😂😜🤪,” the Idol judge, 42, clapped back via X on Monday, March 2.

Underwood clashed with the live audience during each of American Idol’s “Hollywood Week: Music City Takeover” episodes on season 24. The Hollywood Week episodes — which were filmed in Nashville this season — made for awkward viewing at times since Underwood’s constructive criticism proved to be unpopular with the crowd.

“They just like to boo me,” Underwood said in Tuesday’s final “Hollywood Week: Music City Takeover” episode.

Emma McIntyre/Getty Images Carrie Underwood plans to bring her unique musical insight — and country flare — to the table as the newest American Idol judge. “I think I can be honest and constructive, but still kind,” Underwood, 41, told radio personality Buzz Brainard on Friday, August 23, of her goal as a judge. “And […]

Fellow American Idol judge Luke Bryan piped up to defend the former Idol winner during one stretch of booing.

“She only won this. She knows,” Bryan, 49, admonished the crowd.

His reference to Underwood’s American Idol season 4 victory did little to quiet the backlash, leading her to warn the booing fans about interfering in the judging process.

“You’re not included in the discussions,” she told them.

The booing was particularly heavy after Idol hopeful Mor performed an original song during his “Music City Takeover” audition. When it came time for his evaluations, Underwood correctly predicted to Bryan that “they are going to boo me.”

“You guys are gonna boo me. You’re gonna boo me,” she told the crowd. “It’s coming. Bring it on. I love it! Your boos are feeding me.”

In her feedback, she argued that Mor made a mistake by trying out original material during “Hollywood Week: Music City Takeover.”

“In a room like this, for you to bring an original song with that incredible band sitting behind you, twiddling their thumbs, I feel like it was a missed opportunity,” she said.

Mor ultimately still advanced to the next stage of American Idol by the judges despite Underwood’s lukewarm appraisal.

“Singing original music is SUCH a gamble at this stage in the competition. Don’t. Waste. The. Band,” Underwood insisted via X on Monday. “Mor’s voice and previous audition kept him in. I wanna hear his original music after he’s a big star!”

Underwood previously hinted that she was going to have a hostile rapport with the “Hollywood Week: Music City Takeover” crowd before the episodes even aired.

“Spoiler alert…I get booed A LOT from our Hollywood Week audience @AmericanIdol,” Underwood tweeted on February 16.

Underwood joined the American Idol judging panel for season 23 alongside Bryan and Lionel Richie. She replaced Katy Perry, who left after seven seasons in 2024.

“I went from nobody knowing my name to tens of million of people watching the show,” the country singer said at the time. “I’m proud of everything that I was able to accomplish on the show and I’m so proud of everything I’ve accomplished since.”

Before her American Idol audition, an executive producer told Carrie Underwood that Simon Cowell hated country music — but she already knew. Then 21, Underwood went ahead with her rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” while trying out for the singing competition in 2005, and her heart sank as soon as […]

Underwood received the backing of fellow American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, who told E! News in September 2024 that the country star was the perfect addition to the judging panel. (Clarkson, 43, has been a coach on rival competition show The Voice for 10 seasons.)

“What better person to have — somebody that’s won that show to come back,” Clarkson said at the time. “To have gone through it all and then had such a huge career like her, that’s invaluable.”

Clarkson called Underwood an “awesome pick” for Idol, adding, “To have somebody to look at and go, ‘OK, they’ve done it and they’re sitting right there. So, that means I am capable of doing it. I can dream that big.’ … I think she’s gonna do great.”

Underwood has sold more than 22.5 million albums and 72.5 million singles, making her the biggest selling female country music star of all time, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

American Idol season 24 airs on ABC Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
