The Crown’s Costume Designer Shares the Details of Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress Replica
The Crown‘s costume designer Amy Roberts did an impressive job recreating Princess Diana’s iconic wedding dress. Emma Corrin, who plays Diana Spencer, will be wearing the dress for the royal wedding scene with Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) in season four of the series — and Netflix recently shared some new details into the making of the iconic replica. Princess Diana’s original ivory silk wedding dress worn at Buckingham Palace on July 29, 1981, was designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel. It featured a 25-foot train, 153-yard tulle veil, three-quarter length puffed-sleeves, and ruffles along the neckline and back of the gown. For The Crown‘s recreation, Netflix shared on Twitter that costume designer Amy Roberts “wanted to pull in many of the style cho...
Alexa’s Simple Layered Outfit is All I Want To Wear This Autumn
Winter dressing is somewhat of an art form. Throughout the colder months, there is always quite a lot of strategy involved in putting an outfit together, particularly when it comes to layering. A typical autumn or winter look will always require a few separate pieces but it’s the way you put those pieces together that really makes a difference. Evidently, when it comes to layering Alexa Chung seems to have it all figured out. The celeb was spotted attending a VIP event in London recently and was sporting the perfect 6-piece capsule outfit. Comprised of a white tee, knit vest, denim jacket and black coat, Alexa’s outfit perfectly blended multiple layers, ensuring she remained warm, yet still looked put together. The star then finished the outfit wi...
Miley Cyrus Wore the Most Incredible Holographic Blooming Flower Dress by New Designer Miss Sohee
Miley Cyrus performed her latest power ballad “Midnight Sky” for The Graham Norton Show on Saturday, 10 Oct. The single is the lead track for her upcoming seventh album She Is Miley Cyrus, and although we love the message of finding yourself in the freedom of owning your mistakes, we were absolutely fixated on the iridescent dress worn by her cardboard cutout and designed by one of 2020’s most inspiring young creatives — Miss Sohee. Cryus’s cardboard cutout wore the beautiful Peony gown from Miss Sohee‘s graduate collection for Central Saint Martins, titled “The Girl in Full Bloom”. The pink-and-lime-gold Peony dress is described by the designer as a “digitally printed, partly hand-dyed dress made in quarantine” and features a strapless...
These 3 Influencers Agree: This Is the Secret to Making High Street Look Luxe
I love it when people ask me where I’ve got something from. Even better is when they think it’s designer and it’s not. I know, it’s a little gauche, but I get a thrill from it. Right now, with an emphasis on watching our budgets, it’s even more pertinent that we make smart choices when it comes to our wardrobes. While we’d always suggest buying pieces that last, it doesn’t mean they have to be expensive. The one thing you do need them to be ins that they work with your wardrobe and look quality. There are three influencers that I follow in particular who are ace at doing just that. There’s Marianne of Smyth Sisters, Yatri Parabi, and Aïda of Basics Touch who all know how to find the chicest pieces on the high street that all look expensive. I...
Experts Say These Will be the Biggest Wedding Dress Trends for 2021
By far the biggest trend for brides right now is choosing two outfits for the big day. Designers, luxury retailers and even secondhand bridal stores told me that plenty of brides were searching for not one but two knock-out looks. Luxury retailer Net-a-Porter told me that it’s a trend that has been gaining traction for some time but is only set to continue. Grace Loves Lace founder Megan Ziems and designer Kate Halfpenny revealed a similar trend, especially when plenty of couples have had to postpone a bigger event due to Covid. “I’ve definitely noticed is our brides now buying two dresses; one for the micro wedding and one for the big celebration, later down the track. A lot of couples still want to keep that original, special wedding date they have set, so this is a gre...
This Cool-Girl Brand Has Turned Our Dream Autumn Wardrobe Into a Reality
Highlights in the collection include one of the most impressive outerwear offerings we’ve seen this season (the Farren Leather Mac, £899, is a favourite), and its boots are just as strong. After they repeatedly sold out last year, AllSaints has also brought back its two-in-one slip dresses, silky midis with jumpers and tops overtop, which will help you master the art of layering with zero effort on your part. That said, it’s not just AllSaints’s new-in section that’s left a lasting impression. Mid-season sales are often tricky to navigate; the items on offer never quite fit with what we currently want to wear. But that’s certainly not the case where AllSaints’s sale is concerned. With versatile pieces that can be styled in ...
This Unlikely Knitwear Trend Has Become An Autumn Staple
If you lived through the ’90s, the concept of a knitted vest might conjure up images of Chandler Bing sitting at Central Perk drinking an oversize coffee and making sarcastic comments amongst his friends. Though, fast-forward almost 30 years, and the once-stuffy clothing item now carries some very different connotations. As the cool-girl item of choice for editors and influencers, knitted vests have been given a decidedly fashionable makeover of late. The item was seen on the runways of Dior, Prada and Lacoste during the A/W 20 runway shows and has appeared in collections by buzzy brands including Ganni. From oversize cable-knit styles to patterned iterations with contrast colour trim, these are certainly not the same sweater vests you might remember from the ...
12 Fresh Ways to Wear Your Dresses With Boots This Autumn
With colder weather here it’s time to think about cosy outfit formulas that will keep us warm and looking chic. One look we’ve learned to fall back on is dresses with tights and boots. The simple combination makes for an easy way to take your warm-weather pieces into a new season altogether. With the addition of tights and ankle boots, even the floatiest slip can work under the right circumstances. So today, we’re highlighting a number of cool and fresh ways to wear your favourite dresses with tights and boots. Some work for seriously frigid temps while others are better reserved for slightly warmer wintery weather. Still, no matter what the day may look like outside, you’re guaranteed you’ll find some easy outfit inspira...
Jennifer Lawrence Wore the Perfect Autumn Outfit for the New Era
Yes, Jennifer Lawrence is a big movie star, but she also seems pretty normal, which is likely part of the reason why so many people count themselves as fans of hers. I don’t know about you, but I could fully imagine being friends with JLaw. (Do we think her friends call her that though?) That reliability translates to her wardrobe as well. While it’s low-key filled with Dior, The Row, and Totême, the way she styles her wardrobe is cool, casual, and comfortable. And those are three key elements of a 2020 outfit. Dressing for the new era we’re in isn’t always easy, especially as this very challenging year drags on. At first, we were all thrilled to get to live in sweats but now, I think there’s a collective urge to wear real clothe...
The 7 Accessories That Stole Our Hearts This Fashion Month
As runway shows were replaced with presentations and virtual events became the norm, there is no denying that Spring/Summer 2021 fashion month certainly deviated from the traditional September schedule. While we once were accustomed to seeing hoards of industry insiders flock to runway shows and presentations with attendees in the hundreds, this year was a decidedly more low-key affair. Though less fanfare does not necessarily equate to less impressive fashion, as the collections we did see this season still managed to make an impact. From Chanel’s logo-emblazoned tiaras to Prada’s fresh spin on the pointed-toe heel, S/S21 offered up several chic accessories which we predict will be big news in six months time. Burberry opted for a show-stopping o...
Everyone I Know With Great Skin Uses This Multitasking Face Cream
‘Over the years, vitamin C has become a buzzword within the beauty realm, which is another reason why Face Base has become the cult classic product it is,’ continues Dowdall. ‘[Vitamin C] one of the few proven anti-ageing skincare ingredients – it encourages collagen production –, can improve visible signs of sun damage and scarring, and helps defend skin against environmental damage. With a comprehensive vitamin line-up and a buttery-soft formula, Face Base sinks into skin like a dream and works wonders under makeup, too.’ With so much hype surrounding Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, it’s unsurprising that the brand, this August past, unveiled the latest addition to its Vitamin Rich collection; the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base ...
13 Ways to Make Your Leggings Fancier
Leggings seem to yo-yo in and out of favour within fashion circles, but in 2020, the chicest of dressers are revisiting black leggings. Tight-fitting trousers are rapidly regaining popularity, as many influencers and buyers are wearing skinny jeans and slim-fitting leggings—and not just with slippers for waist-up outfits for Zoom calls. The key to making them feel 2020 is to play with proportions, however, and contrast the tightness of the legs with oversize knitwear, huge boots and smart pieces you wouldn’t typically expect to wear with leggings. Think of black leggings as your base layer. Then, add on either a pair of chunky tread-sole or hiking boots or elegant knee-high leather boots, and pile on the expensive-looking knitwear, from zip-front jumpers to camel crew-neck...
