For her big day, she chose a strapless metallic gown that’s basically a golden dream: sculpted bodice, floral accents at the waist, and a floor-length fringe skirt with a high slit that makes every step look like a runway moment.

Fair play to Leeds, they have really surprised and impressed me so far. There is a good balance to their team because they carry a threat and can dig in too.Apart from a heavy defeat at Arsenal, they have been competitive in every game so far and their good start would have been even better but for late goals against Fulham and Bournemouth.
