Meghan Markle’s Date-Night Dress Isn’t Just Beautiful—It’s Loaded With Meaning
It would, however, be remiss of me not to mention that this is the first red carpet appearance the couple have made since the trailer of their new Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, was released, and with that comes the understanding that all eyes would be on them even more so than usual. We all know that Meghan Markle dresses with purpose; that every item she chooses to wear tells a unique story, so why would this night be any different? While the colour white features regularly Markle’s wardrobe—she’s a classicist at heart—choosing to wear it now could be symbolic. We all know the impact that colours can have on our moods and well-being; individual people will gravitate towards specific shades when, say, they want to feel empowered in a work meeting.

Selena Gomez Just Wore the Classic Totême Dress Every Fashion Person Wants
More often than not these days, dressing for a red carpet event is all about the spectacle, even more so than the quality of the outfit. Mostly made up of over-the-top looks crafted to become viral moments, the practice of understated elegance has become something of a lost art at major events. Luckily, we can always count on Selena Gomez and her stylist Kate Young to err on the side of better, not bigger. Nowhere was this proven more than at Variety‘s 2022 Hitmakers brunch, which took place this weekend in Los Angeles. For the event, which Dua Lipa and H.E.R. also attended, the Only Murders in the Building star chose a midi-length little black dress made of extremely seasonally appropriate velvet and formalised with a sculptural, ruffled hem. Desig...
New NPR Profile Celebrates The Intersection Of Double Dutch And Hip-Hop
Source: China News Service / Getty A new NPR profile this week celebrates the art and legacy of jumping double dutch–the game that came to create and define Black Girl Magic as the artform enters its 50th year as an organized sport. “Double Dutch is Black girl magic. It came from a union of young girls in their community getting together to socialize, and to engage in each other’s dreams and ambitions,” Lauren Walker, president of the National Double Dutch League told NPR. In 1973, two New York City policemen, Ulysses Williams and Lauren Walker’s father David A. Walker established Double Dutch as a team sport and got it into schools. The following year, more than 600 people participated in the first New York City tournament. Five years later, four New York d...

Margot Robbie Wore a Hair Bow on the Red Carpet So I Found an £9 Amazon Dupe
Even though it pains me to say it, Margot Robbie‘s Chanel-filled wardrobe is not available for Prime shipping on Amazon. I hate to burst your bubble. However, one very pretty accessory that she just wore on the red carpet is absolutely accessible to the masses: Her black hair bow. For a BAFTA event in London last week, Robbie’s hairstylist Bryce Scarlett gave her a half-up, half-down look and secured the back with an adorable bow. I immediately went to Amazon to find an affordable dupe and ended up buying one straight away. The perfect festive accessory, a black hair bow can instantly elevate a knitwear look, be paired with mini dress and tights or can add a pretty touch to a jeans-and-blazer outfit. Pick from satin, velvet or tulle as well as betw...
The Hidden Symbolism Behind Meghan Markle’s Unexpected Colour Combo
To quote Taylor Swift, what if I told you none of it was accidental? Meghan Markle’s most recent outfit may seem unexpected at first, but there’s actually a hidden meaning behind the colour combination she chose to wear. Listen, I don’t blame you if you were too focused on Meghan Markle’s empowering discussion to notice the colour of her shoes, but you know we’re all about style and substance here at Who What Wear, so you can bet I’ll be talking about both. Markle attended a fundraiser for the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, which runs programs for women on intimate violence prevention, executive leadership, mental health, and more. For the event, the Duchess of Sussex wore a green Giorgio Armani dress with purple Manolo Blahnik shoe...
