Tom Holland and Zendaya are reportedly planning to install a climate-controlled room in one of their several properties to preserve her more than $269,000 wedding gown.
Holland, 30, and Zendaya, 30, said "I do" during an intimate wedding celebration at the Beaverbrook Hotel in Surrey, just outside London, on Aug. 4.
The actress marked the occasion by donning a stunning lace Schiaparelli gown featuring long sleeves and a high neckline.
Now, Zendaya is reportedly taking extraordinary measures to ensure the sentimental garment—which has never been pictured or seen publicly—is carefully preserved for years to come.
Sources told The Sun that the actress wants to keep the gown close by rather than entrusting it to an outside storage company. The dress reportedly needs to be stored at a temperature between 59 and 64 degrees.

Bond girl Jacqueline Bisset is celebrating her 82nd birthday – and the Hollywood icon looks as glamorous as ever.
The British actress, who entered the Bond universe as the memorably named Miss Goodthighs in the 1967 James Bond spoof Casino Royale, turns 82 on Sunday, September 13 2026. Born in Surrey in 1944, Jacqueline has enjoyed an extraordinary career spanning more than six decades.
And judging by one of her most recent red-carpet appearances, the veteran star has lost none of the elegance that made her one of cinema's most recognizable beauties.

A teenager with type 1 diabetes is hoping to inspire others with the condition as he moves from simulator racing to real cars, his father has said.
Zachary Houghton, from Redhill in Surrey, completed his first Formula Ford race at the end of August, driving a racing car on a circuit for the first time.
The 17-year-old told BBC Radio Surrey: "I reckon I'll be able to get back in the car again - it will just be [about] finding the funding because motorsport isn't cheap."
His father, Scott Houghton, said his son wanted "to be an advocate and an inspiration" to those with the condition.
"Zachary would love his journey to show other young people living with type 1 diabetes that the condition doesn't have to stop them chasing the things they want to achieve," he said.

English club cricketer and endurance athlete Sam Bodoano has completed an extraordinary 62-mile (100km) run from Lord's Cricket Ground in London to Valley End Cricket Club in Woking, Surrey, in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the longest run-up before bowling a cricket ball.
Bodoano, 22, from Worplesdon near Guildford, Surrey, began his run at Lord's on Saturday and completed the gruelling journey around 14 hours later at Valley End Cricket Club on Sunday. His challenge culminated in him bowling the opening delivery of an 11-a-side match to his father.
To meet the requirements for the record attempt, Bodoano had to complete the entire 100km journey in full cricket whites while carrying a cricket ball. He then had to take part in a cricket match and deliver the opening ball. While Bodoano has completed the challenge and believes he has surpassed the existing mark, Guinness World Records has not yet officially recognised the achievement. The organisation's evidence review and verification process is still under way.
A Guinness World Records spokesperson said the application would need to go through the formal evidence review process before the record could be officially confirmed. The review can take around two weeks, depending on the evidence submitted.
If confirmed, Bodoano's run-up would comfortably surpass the previous men's record of 15 miles. The current holder of the record for the longest bowling run-up (male) is Tom Dunn, who ran 15 miles (24km) from Bethnal Green, in east London, to Wandsworth Common, in south London, in August 2024.
Despite the physical demands of the challenge, Bodoano completed the run for a charitable cause, raising almost £6,000 (Rs 7,64,513) for The Ruth Strauss Foundation, a cancer charity founded by former England captain Sir Andrew Strauss.
"I'm very tired, I lost a lot of sleep, but it was all for an amazing cause," Bodoano said.
An experienced endurance athlete, Bodoano has previously competed in the England Hockey Men's Premier League, completed the London Marathon and Ironman Wales, and finished third in a 112-mile backyard ultra-marathon. He also works as a running coach and content creator.

Hypotheticals and hindsight are not typically the favoured topics of the professional sports team but there is an alternative England scenario worth pondering. Had Sam Curran been fully fit to bowl ahead of this Pakistan series, the likelihood is that the Surrey all-rounder would have earned a recall to the Test squad for the first time in five years, a replacement of sorts after Ben Stokes had gone down in a blaze of gory batting at Trent Bridge.
Would Curran have featured in England's XI? The **** umption must be that he would not have but the very fact that he was under consideration at all shows the tricky question that Joe Root's side were attempting to answer. How does one replace the irreplaceable? Well, it seems, the answer is to not replace Stokes at all. There is no point, of course, selecting a seam all-rounder when you have specialists bowling the way that England's pace foursome have in this series so far.
England wrapped up a speedy victory over Pakistan at Lord's (Getty)
One must weigh Pakistan's paucity as mitigation against declarations of the brilliance of this attack but the evidence is increasingly persuasive about the group's potential. After the Headingley Test, Root had declared that the quartet of Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson did not know how good they could be and another standout showing at Lord's will not dim his praise. Of all English bowlers in Test history, Root can currently call upon three of the five men with strike rates beneath 44 and still have Archer to spare; if the fast forwarding of Test cricket is partly to blame, any skipper would enjoy that sort of potency.
"Each day it will be someone else's turn," Archer said during the second Test. "Everyone is relentless, everyone wants wickets and it feels like no-one is ever going to be overworked because everyone shares the overs out. You don't have to do too much because someone is going to back you up until you find your feet again."

Arizona women's basketball's 2027 class will have plenty of size. The Wildcats received a commitment from 6-foot-2 Canadian forward Ashley Vande Ven on Sunday. The four-star player joins 6-foot wing Brieana Brown and 6-foot-4 power forward Celsy Colombo in Becky Burke's next recruiting class.
Vande Ven is ranked No. 82 in the ESPN SC Next 100. She has a scouting grade of 92 from the service.
Vande Ven is also rated as a four-star recruit by Prospects Nation. While she isn't in their top 60 players, she is part of the site's Elite 150. She is not ranked or rated by 247sports or Rivals.
"Our Canadian hoopers from British Columbia have made the trip across the border to compete and train with EIE since the beginning," Prospects Nation managing editor Chris Hansen wrote. "This year the duo of Puneet Deol of Surrey, B.C., and Ashley Vande Ven of Langley, B.C., made arguments they can compete with anyone in the lower 48 and are on their respective PN Watch Lists as well."
Although Vande Ven is from British Columbia in the Western part of Canada, she will come to Tucson from Crestwood Prep, a sports-focused high school across the country in Toronto. Crestwood produced former UConn star and current WNBA player Aaliyah Edwards and current Duke All-American Toby Fournier.

Surrey groundsman Lee Fortis, who made headlines last year after a heated confrontation with India head coach Gautam Gambhir at The Oval, has been placed on leave following a separate altercation with an ECB employee.
Fortis was involved in a heated exchange with the employee while preparations were under way for a Hundred fixture. The ECB employee was reportedly left in tears following the incident.
The episode took place at The Oval on July 28, a day before MI London faced London Spirit at the venue, with both teams training at the ground.
Soon afterwards, Surrey chief executive Steve Elworthy was seen having a firm discussion with Fortis on the field. The groundsman subsequently left the playing area and has not returned to The Oval since.
It remains unclear whether Fortis will return, with some sources in the English game reportedly believing that he may not resume his role.
Fortis is a well-known figure around The Oval and attracted significant attention last year after an argument with Gambhir during India's Test against England.
The disagreement centred on the condition of the square, with Gambhir telling Fortis: "You're just a groundsman, nothing beyond that."
India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak subsequently described Fortis as "arrogant".
Fortis has served as The Oval's head groundsman since 2012, taking up the role at the age of 30. He has since established himself as one of the leading groundsmen in English cricket, winning the ECB's Grounds Manager of the Year award three consecutive times from 2022 to 2024.
During that period, Surrey also won three successive County Championship **** les.
The latest incident has now left one of English cricket's most recognisable groundsmen, who stands around 6ft 10in tall, away from The Oval while the circumstances surrounding his absence remain unclear.

Christina Gascoigne, who has died aged 87, was an Arabist, photographer and ceramicist whose teenage account of being caught up in the 1958 Lebanon crisis made gripping reading; she also accompanied her polymath husband Bamber Gascoigne, the University Challenge presenter, on countless adventures, contributing to his books and helping him to build an opera house in the grounds of a stately home he inherited from a great-aunt.
The couple once drove a Peugeot 404 through the Khyber Pass and on to India to research his book The Great Moghuls (1971), later a television documentary. The journey was not without incident: Christina rolled the car and they knocked someone down, though neither vehicle nor pedestrian suffered serious damage.

Another adventure came in 2014 when he inherited West Horsley Place, a tumbledown Tudor mansion in Surrey, from Mary, ****** ss of Roxburghe. The couple sold the ****** ss's possessions, using the £8.8 million proceeds to restore the 50-room pile and build a 700-seat opera house that in 2017 became the home of Grange Park Opera.
"We both always had a 'let's go' attitude," she said. "And Bamber was very susceptible to enthusiasm. If I said, 'Oh, that sounds exciting,' he'd go and do it."

The unveiling of a blue plaque at the former Surrey home of Paddington Bear creator Michael Bond was a "lovely" occasion with an unexpected surprise, the organiser has said.
Bond, who died in 2017 at the age of 91, moved to Fairacre in Haslemere in 1968, where he spent the next 10 years writing several Paddington books alongside the scripts for the original television series.
The unveiling on Saturday took place with the permission of current owners, Steph and Neil Stephenson, and was attended by Bond's daughter, Karen Jankel, who presented them with a special gift.
"It was the [Paddington] Bear that was Karen's as a child," Haslemere Society chairman Chris Harrison said.
Harrison said about 25 guests were invited but "the same [number] again" turned up to see the unveiling.

England have been dealt an injury blow with Sam Curran forced to undergo surgery and set to be sidelined for the remainder of the summer.
All-rounder Curran is a key figure in England's white-ball sides and had been expected to be added the Test squad at some point during the series against Pakistan.
But the Surrey left-armer has now undergone surgery on a groin injury at the conclusion of the Hundred, ending his chances of a Test recall.
National selector Marcus North had hinted that Curran would likely be considered as an all-round option after the retirement of Ben Stokes.
"With the retirement of Ben Stokes, it's quite clear that he provided us with a certain balance in the team," North had said. "Sam Curran is certainly a player of interest for us.

Chelsea have provoked frustration among supporters by opting to rebrand their under-19 and under-21 teams. Going forward, the club will designate them as Cobham Next Gen (CNG).
The Blues boast one of the most renowned and successful youth systems in English soccer, having nurtured countless gifted players over the years. It appears that, under BlueCo's stewardship, the organization now seeks to create a distinct identity for their academy, which operates out of Cobham, Surrey.
The club maintains, via The Mirror, that Cobham Next Gen "accurately reflects the age profile" of the academy squad members and reinforces its standing.

Surrey have signed Indian batter Mahipal Lomror for the final six County Championship games of the season.
The 26-year-old, who captains Rajasthan in India's domestic Ranji Trophy competition, averages 42.62 in first-class cricket and has a career-best 300 not out.
He also bowls left-arm off spin, taking 62 first-class wickets.
"Playing in the County Championship is a huge opportunity for me to challenge myself in a new environment and learn from an experienced group," he told Surrey's website.
Surrey have moved for another batter who can bowl spin as Will Jacks has an ankle injury and Dan Lawrence is in the England Test squad for the series against Pakistan, which starts on Wednesday.

Hollywood is no stranger to star couples, whether it be fast flings or decades of romance. Plenty of actors have found love on the set of movies and TV shows, and eventually tied the knot. Here are some of the most notable celebrity romances that led to marriage after co-stars met on set.
Tom Holland and Zendaya met each during the casting process for 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming ("He says when we first met it was super awkward because he went for a handshake and I went for a hug," Zendaya told Variety. "But I don't remember that. I thought it was cool.") Despite years of speculation, their relationship wasn't confirmed until they were caught on film kissing in Los Angeles in 2021.
The actress reportedly moved into Holland's London home in 2023. The couple became engaged in late 2024, and have since hosted a private wedding celebration in Surrey, UK.

"They love that Zendaya and Tom were able to get married without anyone knowing it was happening," the source says of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day costars, who recently hosted a starry wedding celebration in Surrey, England after secretly exchanging vows two months ago.
"No one got photos, it's all been ultra private and protected, and privacy is the new luxury among celebrities … so of course Kylie is drawn to that," adds the source.
Having grown up in front of the cameras, "her whole life has been commodified," the source says of the reality TV star, 29, who shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott.
"You can't blame her for wanting to do the same sort of thing: get married and then drop some vague hints later," notes the source. "She might go as far as sharing some photos, but if Timothee has his way, they won't even do that."

King Charles always amuses us with his witty reactions during public engagements. Case in point: cast your mind back to last autumn when the monarch had the funniest reaction to 116-year-old Ethel Caterham when she told him "all the girls were in love with you".
Charles visited Ethel at her care home in Lightwater, Surrey, shortly after bidding a formal farewell to US President Donald Trump during the US state visit at Windsor.

While talking about a previous investiture in 1969, Mrs Caterham said: "All the girls were in love with you and wanted to marry you." The remark prompted a hearty laugh from the King and a raise of his eyebrows.
One of Ethel's granddaughters, Kate Henderson, added: "You were saying that the other day, weren't you? You said 'Prince Charles was so handsome. All the girls were in love with him.' A true prince – and now the King." Charles, who responded with a playful grimace, quipped: "Yes, well, all that's left of him anyway."

England have been dealt a major blow with Jacob Bethell ruled out of the Test series against Pakistan – with Surrey batters Ollie Pope and Dan Lawrence recalled to the squad.
Bethell suffered a knee injury in the final ODI against India and is set to miss all three Tests in a major set-back for the young left-hander.
Jordan ***** , who made his Test debut against New Zealand earlier in the summer, will bat at No 3 in Bethell's absence, with Pope returning to the squad having been dropped during the Ashes to provide experienced batting and wicket-keeping cover.

Lawrence, meanwhile, is rewarded for an outstanding summer for Surrey that currently sees him as the second top run-scorer in Division One of the County Championship, and will bat at No 6.

Antonio Banderas says the heart attack he suffered in 2017 became "the best thing that ever happened" to him because it forced him to reconsider how he wanted to live.
The medical emergency occurred at his home in Surrey, England. His longtime partner, Nicole Kimpel, gave him aspirin before paramedics arrived, and doctors later placed three stents in his arteries.
Banderas quit smoking, returned to his hometown of Málaga and shifted more of his attention toward theater, food, family and projects he finds personally meaningful.
Nearly a decade later, that new life helped draw him to Tony, an A24 film about the summer that introduced a young Anthony Bourdain to the chaotic world of professional kitchens.
"You always have in your mind that you're going to die," Banderas told PEOPLE. "But then when you have it so close, it's an unbelievably clear reminder of how stupid you are losing time over things that don't deserve to be in your life."

There are movies that we love, and then there are movies that become embedded in the cultural zeitgeist and hit us right in the heart. Julie Andrews is breathing rare air as an actor who has more than one such film to her credit. "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins," for examples, have dazzled generations of audiences. But it wasn't only Andrews' movies that delivered that fairy tale dreaminess. She married set and costume designer Tony Walton in May 1959 in beautiful Surrey, England, and get this: Walton designed her wedding dress. While most brides would hesitate to trust their husbands-to-be with the hors d'oeuvres, Andrews charged Walton with the pièce de résistance. He tackled the task beautifully, because his bride looked stunning in her sleeved ballgown, embroidered with floral appliqués — and leave it to Andrews to showcase how to style a pixie cut for every occasion.

The two met as theater kids in 1948, became pen pals, and got engaged 11 years later. "We looked at each other and smiled, and I honestly don't know how it came about, but one of us whispered to the other, 'We should get married soon,'" Andrews wrote in her memoir "Home," as reported by Tatler. And when Disney snagged Andrews for "Mary Poppins," Walton came with to design the costumes. The couple would have one daughter, Emma, in 1962. Thanks in large part to Walton's gorgeous design, his and Andrews' wedding snaps are some of those throwback pics from Old Hollywood star weddings that are beyond captivating.

She might not have got the gold medal she craved, but the Commonwealth Games have been an "amazing" experience for Summer Shaw.
The 22-year-old from Camberley in Surrey claimed Scotland's first judo medal in Glasgow by beating Botho Babutso of Botswana in the bronze-medal match of the 48kg event.
Shaw forced Babutso into submission with an arm lock to win by ippon inside one minute and 32 seconds, but her chances of gold were ended by India's Asmita Dey.
"I'll see her at the Games the next time in four years," Shaw jokingly said to BBC Sport Scotland about Dey. "She beat me on home soil, so I'll beat her on home soil.
"I'm a little disappointed, because I really came here wanting gold. I was number four in the competition, I lost to the number one seed, I was just so close to beating her. But it was so much fun. Just amazing."
