ArianneUpdated on September 26, 2018September 26, 2018

The Item: The Duchess of Sussex wearing the Givenchy Midi Dress With Pleated Sleeves. Meghan Markle was seen in her LBD (little black dress); while out during her very first solo engagement as a British royal family member. Meghan attended the “Oceania” event at the Royal Academy of Arts located in London, England. ‘Oceania’ is the very first major survey ever of Oceanic art to be held in the United Kingdom.

You Asked: Hey 1966 I definitely got a question for you today. I am so sick of hearing Meghan Markle black Givenchy dress and no other details. When I google that I get nowhere. I don’t know why it is so hard to report the name of the dress!

Can you please tell me what to search for on Givenchy’s site? You can spend countless hours searching on sites and still never find what you are looking for. Thanks!

Ask And Tell: Givenchy Midi Dress With Pleated Sleeves as Seen on Meghan Markle

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashion inquiry, and we can completely understand your couture search pain. Therefore, allow us to end it for you! Meghan is wearing a black designer dress, which if you search for it online it would be known as the Givenchy Midi Dress With Pleated Sleeves. The product code number is: BW209810EF-001. The Givenchy label describes this gown as a “Mid-length dress in black wool crepe; with pleated silk georgette balloon sleeves and V-shaped velvet inset on the front.”

The cost of owning the now infamous black dress worn by the Duchess of Sussex? It currently retails for $3, 730. Furthermore, there is a shorter version of this design which we feel is fashionably worthy of mention. It is called the Givenchy Velvet Appliqued Minidress. It sells for just a smidge less with a price point of $3300.

Nonetheless, the Duchess finished off her sophisticated ensemble with some dazzling accessories. She toted a black and clutch by Givenchy and donned a stunning pair of diamond earrings by Birks. Lastly, her shoes are from luxury label, AQUAZZURA.

More specifically Meghan wears the AQUAZZURA ‘Deneuve Pump’. A classic pump with a playful edge via a perfectly placed “bow” at the ankle. These sleek heels retail for $648. Therefore, you are witnessing a designer ensemble costing over $4300. My, it’s good to be royalty!

Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris

ArianneUpdated on September 25, 2018September 25, 2018

The Item: Hip Hop artist and fashion week style queen, Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris, France. The music charting phenom was spotted walking the streets of Paris in gorgeous, floor-length gown while heading to an event during Paris Fashion Week.

You Asked: Honestly do not care for Cardi B’s music since Bodak Yellow or how she conducted herself at Harper’s Bazaar. But her fashion and stylist are always so good. Who is her stylist by the way and what are the details on this look? Even the hat!

Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashionable message and we agree, love her or not, Cardi possesses one of the best couture and style teams on this globe! Cardi’s stylist, Kollin Carter, styled her in a luxurious gown by fashion label, Michael Costello.

The dress is from the brand’s Gitana collection which made it’s glam debut during New York Fashion Week. Currently this look is not available for purchase just yet, however; it is coming to the Michael Costello shop real soon! Fashion lovers will be able to purchase Cardi’s OOTD from www.shopcostello.com.

As for the hat, it is a piece that was made to compliment Cardi’s right off the runway gown. The hat is a custom garment by Michael Costello as well. So far no word if the hat will be available for purchase as well.

Nonetheless, Kollin Carter finished off Cardi’s Paris ensemble with high-end designer shoes. Cardi B is wearing a fab pair of ankle strap platform heels by Elie Saab.

Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection in Paris (Continued)

However, Designer Michael Costello has a few words for any bandwagon MC fans or opportunists. Since Cardi’s look hit the fashion scene more and more attention has come to MC. Regarding this he states,

“Funny how [agency] IMG chose to highlight my show right after they saw a major celeb like Cardi B wear my pieces. My show at NYFW was a huge success this season because of my own in-house team.

My show was shown on a billboard in Times Square yet there was not a single mention on IMG’s social platforms including the NYFW Instagram page. I was literally ghost to them.

My show show consistently draws the most number of digital impressions amongst all the designers under their roster; but I guess I was still not good enough for IMG’s models or the selective NYFW clique. People seem to forget that my success is not overnight and that I have built strong relationship with stylists and celebrities for the past 2 decades.

I’ve never PAID for a celebrity to sit in my show or walk in my show or wear me. Everything you’ve seen thus far is God’s plan! If you never supported me or my team in the beginning, don’t start claiming me now. My success belongs to my team… it is not yours to claim.”

Ask and Tell: Cardi B Wearing Michael Costello Gitana Collection

Yes, put some respect on Micheal’s name! Michael Costello is a luxury label that is a true celebrity favorite. Everyone from Beyoncé to Nicki Minaj have been in a MC design at some point. Furthermore, if you missed the MC New York Fashion Week show here are a few looks that we enjoyed. Especially, since one of our fave models, Jessica White, also hit the catwalk for the show!

Therefore, hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

HEY! See more angles and snaps of Cardi in her stunning Micheal Costello ensemble including the fab custom hat in this short fashion vid:
