When Diana DeGarmo wed Ace Young Saturday evening, both American Idol alums had their personal style on full display.

But it was DeGarmo’s look that was the surprise — she kept her dress under wraps until the moment she walked down the aisle to Young. The singer, 25, wore an elegant, fitted Sareh Nouri gown embellished with pearls and rhinestones.

“It was the first dress she tried on,” says Renée Strauss, the LA-based luxury bridal expert who organized the wedding. “She knew immediately that it was the perfect dress for her.”

The dress was accessorized by her “something old” (her grandma’s pearls), “something borrowed,” (a pair of “fabulous diamond earrings” from her engagement ring designer, David Webb) and — the kicker — a pair of bold cobalt cowboy boots to be her “something blue.”

“If you didn’t know better, you’d think the dress and boots were made for each other,” says Strauss. Adds DeGarmo: “Believe it or not, the boots totally worked!”

Rihanna Debuts Dreadlocks During ‘American Idol’ Finale

Well that was fast! Just a few weeks after showing off a half-shaved hairdo, Rihanna debuted a brand new look on Wednesday night’s American Idol — dreadlocks.

Prior to her “Where Have You Been” performance during the big finale, the pop star Tweeted a preview of her new hair, along with a caption saying, “Wake bake shake dem dreads.”

It seems as if the Bajan beauty switches her look as often as she changes her signature hats.

Just this year she got rid of her Loud era’s red hair and opted for a more natural brunette hue, then she went blonde back in February and most recently went back to black.

Although she didn’t dye her mane, the new dreadlocks are definitely different — and possibly here to stay. Rihanna Tweeted that she’s wanted them “since I was 14, but mama Fent’z wasn’t havin it! Hehe.”

What a gem! For his surprise proposal on American Idol Wednesday night, Ace Young selected an 18-karat yellow gold, platinum and diamond engagement ring to present to longtime girlfriend Diana DeGarmo.

The David Webb sparkler, which features a 1-carat fancy yellow center stone, also boasts two side diamonds weighing .2 carats.

Young helped to design the ring, after hearing DeGarmo drop a hint. “A month ago, she said, ‘Gold needs to come back,’” Young told PEOPLE after Wednesday’s finale. “I was like, ‘I agree,’ so mental note. Her favorite thing is a sunflower and she loves yellow, so one of our dear friends [helped me] put together a ring that has a yellow diamond, a gold band and two smaller diamonds on the side that are clear, so it’s like a sunflower.”

Along with releasing his sophomore album this week, Adam Lambert also debuted a new silver-streaked hairdo.

“I wanted it to look like sunrise,” Lambert told PEOPLE Thursday night at the American Idol results show. “My hairdresser and I have a lot of fun. Both of us get bored very easily — so it’s like, ‘What are we going to do now?’”

The American Idol alum, who stopped by his old stomping ground to perform his single “Never Close Your Eyes,” was also in better shape than ever before.

Lambert said he lost weight the old-fashioned way — by watching what he eats. “Oh, you know, just being a little bit smarter with the junk food,” the singer revealed to reporters. “Skipping the ice cream that I love so much!”

Ice cream isn’t the singer’s only vice — he has a weakness for other dairy products, too. “I miss cheese,” he joked. “I really like cheese, but I haven’t been eating so much of it.”

Jenny Has a Rock: Jennifer Lopez Wears a $2.1 Million Ring on ‘American Idol’

We’re not fooled by this rock: on Wednesday’s episode of American Idol, Jennifer Lopez seriously caught our eyes with her fancy yellow-diamond ring by Cora jewelers — a sparkler that comes with a $2.1 million price tag.

The 50.40-carat bauble — set in 18-karat yellow gold and ebony wood — will soon be available for purchase on the jeweler’s site. (Any takers?) The gem itself came from Africa; after it was found it was flown to New York where experts carefully sculpted and polished the diamond, preparing it for certification from the Gemological Institute of America.

According to Cora, colored diamonds are quite rare — especially in such a large size. So once the stone was perfected, jewelers chose to mount it on ebony, something that was “also from nature,” just like the gem, a Cora rep tells PEOPLE. And then, it ended up in Los Angeles — and on Lopez’s right hand Wednesday.
