Meghan Markle stunned in a gold, strapless cutout dress at the 2023 Women of Vision Awards, hosted by the Ms. Foundation for Women, in New York City on 16 May. The Duchess of Sussex made a bold fashion statement as she accepted the honour, presented to her by close friend Gloria Steinem, and reminded everyone of what a true style icon she is. The metallic gold midi dress by Johanna Ortiz was a decidedly more sultry style than we've seen Markle in for a while. The form-fitting, strapless dress was textured with scale embossing and included a small, diamond-shaped keyhole cutout and centre leg slit. She coordinated her accessories by adding barely-there Tom Ford gold sandals, a gold Carolina Herrera box clutch bag, J.Crew jewelled hoop earrings, and a stack of bangles on one arm. Markle's ha...

Princess Charlotte is following in her mother’s stylish footsteps as she attended the Commonwealth Games on 2 Aug with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The 7-year-old was spotted in the crowd wearing a black-and-white-striped fit-and-flare dress complete with a white Peter Pan collar as she sat watching the swimming heats at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre in Birmingham.

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...
