Meghan Markle’s Gold Strapless Cutout Dress Is One of her Boldest Looks Yet
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...
Elizabeth Debicki Channels Princess Diana’s Elegance in Strapless Dress at “The Crown” Premiere
The stars of “The Crown” season 5 were out in force at the world premiere in London on 8 Nov. In celebration of the latest series, released on Netflix on 9 Nov., Australian actor Elizabeth Debicki oozed class in a stunning black Dior gown ahead of her debut as Princess Diana, as she takes over from Emma Corrin, who played the “people’s princess” in season 4. The chic black strapless dress, from Dior’s spring/summer 22 couture collection, was designed with cutout sections around the ribs and pleats around the chest. With added material around the neck to form a choker, the flowing fabric draped onto the floor, falling over the racerback design. Debicki’s gown felt like a modern iteration of Princess Diana‘s infamous “revenge dress”...
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...

Is Kate Middleton Wearing Her Purple Gucci Blouse Backwards? Fans Are Convinced
Image Source: Getty / Neil Mockford Kate Middleton seems to have her own unique way of styling her purple Gucci blouse. The Duchess of Cambridge wore the pussy-bow blouse during a November Q&A for her Early Years campaign on Instagram and previously for a visit to the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre in March 2019 — but fans and publications noticed Catherine was wearing the blouse in the reverse way that it appeared on the runway and retailer’s websites. First pointed out in March 2019 by a fan who tweeted, “It’s the end of the day and I just realized that I’m wearing my pants backwards which is very interesting because recently a Kate Middleton wore her Gucci blouse backwards. That’s right I made the same mistake as a PRINCESS,” the astute obs...
