Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue

ArianneUpdated on November 16, 2018November 16, 2018

The Item: The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue. Markle was attending an “unannounced” engagement along with husband, Prince Harry; as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Future king, Prince William, his wife and the Sussexes attended the Royal Foundation Dinner held at Victoria House in London. The dinner included a performance by musician, Tom Walker.

You Asked: I’m obsessed help me! Finding myself following every fashion move Meghan makes now. Just noticed that she is in some blue dress. I don’t remember the palace saying she is supposed to be somewhere but I love her dress anyway! Any info available?

Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle Wears Roland Mouret Aldrich Dress in Blue

The Verdict: Hi there, this is what we know so far! Markle is wearing a dress by fashion label, Roland Mouret. If searching for this particular gown online it is known as the “Aldrich” dress. In terms of price, last time we saw this dress it was being sold on the Saks Fifth Avenue site for $2,499.

Interestingly enough, another famous actress has been spotted in this RM design. Latina television superstar Sofia Vergara also donned the Aldrich for a Star Wars red carpet event. Therefore, this is certainly a popular look among famous ladies.

Additionally, in case you are wondering about Meghan’s sister-in-law’s fab attire; Kate Middleton shined bright in a red Preen By Thornton Bregazzi dress. Kate originally wore this similiar gown back in September of 2016 (just in black) for a Royal Canada Tour.

Furthermore, as of late both duchesses (Meghan and Kate) have been recycling past ensembles. Their style move is still quite chic. Their “remixed” outfits are still just as fashionable as the first time around. Nicely done ladies!

Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 -The Oprah Interview

ArianneUpdated on November 12, 2018November 12, 2018

ELLE USA saved the best for last! The journal is wrapping up the year with an exclusive interview with one of the most iconic First Ladys to ever grace The White House. The Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 edition features Michelle discussing everything; from her marriage, being vulnerable and the importance of optimism.

In order to tell Obama’s story to the masses, ELLE recruited the queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey; to handle interview duties. This issue comes right before Michelle’s new book release, Becoming. Winfrey has already placed Obama’s book in her coveted book club. If you would like to learn more you can check it out at amazon.com/oprahsbookclub.

Speaking of Becoming Oprah says, “From the very first pages of ‘Becoming’ I knew I wanted EVERYONE to read it. I loved it so much I’ve already read it twice. I’ve known Michelle for 14 years, but this book is so open and vulnerable; I felt like she was in my ear. Book clubs everywhere — you’ll want to make this your next selection.”

Michelle Obama ELLE December 2018 -The Oprah Interview

So what are Oprah and Obama chatting about within the pages of ELLE? The magazine reveals,

“Living in the White House for eight years; Michelle Obama had staffers providing everything she could have possibly needed, except for time. ‘What I came to realize is that there was absolutely no time to reflect in the White House,’ she tells Oprah for ELLE’s cover interview. ‘We moved at such a breakneck pace from the moment we walked in those doors until the moment we left. It was day in and day out because we, Barack and I; really felt like we had an obligation to get a lot done.’

Now, with time to process two terms in office — a historic run of accomplishments and struggles — Obama has released her highly anticipated memoir, ‘Becoming.’ Ahead of her book release, the former FLOTUS gets real about her marriage to Barack; the threats made against her children; and life after the White House.”

From the runway to a FIRE cover! This month Jasmine Tookes Covers Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan November 2018 issue. The drop dead beautiful supermodel is coming off a high profile recording of one of the biggest fashion nights of the year; the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

To announce to the world and her fans her new work, Jasmine hit up the social realm. She posted several photos as well as BTS shots of her shoot with the caption, “New Harper’s Bazaar cover story! I had so much fun with this shoot.” Harper’s Bazaar also released the news stating, “Victoria’s Secret model Jasmine Tookes in Dior on the cover of the November edition of Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan!”

The editorial for Jasmine’s stunning cover story includes some amazing fashions. Furthermore, it is one of our favorite set of couture visuals that we have seen this year. To showcase some of her chic garb for the November issue, here is a cheat sheet to some of her looks.

Black and White Couture by Roberto Cavalli accessorized with a brilliant De Beers ring. De Beers states that it is, “The Enchanted Lotus Cocktail ring; [which] mirrors the shape and symmetry of the lotus at full bloom with eight sparkling micopave diamond petals.” The cost? Currently this ring retails for $6,000. In this pic Jasmine also sports $188 Stone Starlet Earrings by Lele Sadoughi.

In the above shot, Tookes mesmerizes in a Dior top, Calvin Klein tie and Alexander McQueen belt. Like those hoop earrings? Those are the Lele Sadoughi Marquis Front Hoops and Pearl Stone Starlet Earrings that retail for $118.

This look is “calling” us (sorry we couldn’t resist lol). Jasmine looks gorgeous in a Sonia Rykiel coat, Calzedonia Polka Dot Tights and Tibi red heels. She also wears Ben Amun Crystal Earrings and Versace eyewear.

We stan a chic, sophisticated dress! This one in particular is by Dolce and Gabbana.

The Versace Draped Leather Strapless Mini Dress from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection has been a favorite of ours all year. It currently is priced at $3,595. The accompanying Versace Barocco Belt can be purchased for $595.

Last one, and we know you are not “blind” to this fabulousness! Okay, we’ll stop with the puns. Jasmine is rocking Tom Ford, Cartier, more Calzedona legwear and a Roberto Cavalli LBD (little black dress). She also perfectly models the Ben Amun Art Deco Crystal Pendant.
