Everyone Always Asks Me About My Dresses—These 22 Are Fantastic
If there’s one thing I know, it’s dresses. My wardrobe is full of them, and I wear them 99.9% of the time. I’ve always struggled with casual (long-time Who What Wear readers will have repeatedly read about my ongoing struggle with denim—sorry to be a bore!), so easy, good-looking frocks are my most trusted fashion staple. I have affordable ones that I wear each and every week. I have special, more expensive ones that come out for important occasions or big meetings. I have those in-between, mid-priced options that bridge the gap between casual days and fancy ones. I own styles that are ultra-summery and best for heatwaves and holiday packing, but I’ve also got a fair number of clever, trans-seasonal styles that can work layered up and with ...
9 Stylish Dress-and-Boot Pairings to Try This Autumn
As much as I love them and wouldn’t be able to get dressed on the regular without them, I’m getting sick and tired of wearing jeans day in and day out. Surely, I’m not the only one? This is precisely why I’ve set myself a bit of a style challenge—one I’m inviting you to join in too. Since autumn has well and truly arrived, I’ve made it my mission to forgo denim for the foreseeable future (until it snows, at the very least), and instead, I’m going to embrace my favourite look of them all: dresses with ankle boots. Dresses and ankle boots never fail to look chic and will help you navigate any and every sartorial hurdle the season throws at you. I wear mine for work, dinners out, drinks with friends, on shopping trips—heck, just about anywhere that doesn’t call for...
Kristen Stewart Wears a Custom Chanel Column Gown For the Spencer Premiere in London
Kristen Stewart attended the premiere of Spencer at the 65th BFI London Film Festival on Thursday, 7 Oct., wearing a custom grey Chanel gown from the designer’s autumn/winter 2018 collection. Stewart completed the look with Jimmy Choo sandals, steely-grey eye makeup, and a wavy undone lob, styled by Tara Swennen with hair by Adir Abergel. Stewart’s custom grey Chanel column gown features intricate beaded embroidery with clusters of embroidery along the hemlines. The gown is inspired by a similar design, look 22, from Chanel’s autumn/winter 2018 collection, completed with Jimmy Choo “Minny” silver-grey sandals that are now sold out. With the dress being so sparkly, Stewart decided to go very minimal with jewellery — just a few silver rings — paired with a very ...
7 Shoes Fashion People Always Wear With Knitted Dresses
I recently bought a knitted midi dress—a cream cardigan-type style with tortoiseshell buttons and a surprisingly flattering V-neck—and I’ve been excited to wear it. Its arrival was perfectly timed with the current cold snap, so as soon as it arrived, I stood in front of the mirror, tried it on and knew it was going to be my autumn hero piece. All that was left to do was decide which shoes to wear with it. Throwing open my wardrobe drawers, I assumed finding the perfect pair of shoes to match my knitted dress would be an easy endeavour. However, as I started trying it on with my block-heel slingbacks and trusty ballet pumps, I encountered an unexpected stumbling block. They just didn’t seem to work. The length of the dress and its weighty fabrication meant that many of my shoes, which are m...
The “Naked” Dress Trend Your Wardrobe Is Crying Out For

Boasting design details like as...
Kate Middleton Lit Up the James Bond Red Carpet in a Glittering Gold Jenny Packham Gown
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, attended her first red carpet event in quite a while, and she certainly made an entrance. The duchess wore an opulent gold gown to the premiere of No Time to Die at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday, 28 Sept. There’s always a subtle reference with Kate’s statement outfits, and the James Bond premiere was no different. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the twisted-front design and general silhouette of her dress was very similar to the gown Princess Diana wore to the 1985 premiere of another James Bond film, A View to a Kill. Kate’s gold Jenny Packham gown was likely a custom creation as it takes design cues from Packham’s Simona, Christina, and Margot gowns from the designer’s autumn/winter 2021 collection, according to Wh...

Lashana Lynch is the first woman actor to play a 007 agent in the James Bond series.

The gown featured an embroidered hummingbird on the bustle, which is called a “doctor bird” in Jamaica and is the national bird of the island. Lynch’s stylist Karla Welch shared on Instagram that her client was “Representing her ancestors and the birthplace of Bond with the National bird of Jamaica, the hummingbird, on her custom @viviennewestwood gown.” Lynch completed the look...

This Simple Dress Trend Is Going to be Huge This Party Season
Typically, when I see that Alexa Chung has posted another outfit pic on Instagram, my reaction looks something like the army-pants-and-flip-flops girl’s scene in Mean Girls. So yes, I saw Alexa Chung wearing a lace slip dress to a party, and now I want to wear a lace slip dress to a party. The dress in question wasn’t labeled, but knowing Chung’s penchant for vintage pieces, I assumed that it was a secondhand find. The same can be said of the stunning mint green number spotted on influencer and vintage seller Pernille Rosenkilde. I sense a trend emerging.

The Naked Dress Trend Is Now So Naked That It’s Barely There at All
The naked-dress trend is back, people, and it’s more naked than ever. While this look doesn’t ever seem to fade away, it’s definitely packing quite the punch for 2021. We’ve seen various iterations of the trend over the years, but right now, it seems to fit in one of two different camps: a skin-colour body-con dress or a barely-there dress that’s transparent or sheer or has a strategically placed piece of material (or even a combination of all three).

Sienna Miller and Emily Blunt Wore Matching Outfits to the Met Gala For a Second Time
You know the friendship is real when you show up to the Met Gala in a matching outfit for the second year in row. Bona-fide besties Sienna Miller and Emily Blunt arrived at the 2021 Met Gala in co-ordinated, sparkling gowns that looked like they came straight out of Hollywood’s Gilded Age from the turn of the 20th century. Miller wore a champagne-coloured lace Gucci gown that featured crystal jewels around the bust, shoulders, and neckline. She completed the look with an oversize, muted pink feathered coat, light-pink clutch, and silver platform heels from the brand. Blunt wore a complementary sparkling gown from Miu Miu that featured white fabric wrapped around the bust with a white cape and diamond jewellery by Messika.
