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!

Arianne Suggs November 14, 2018November 14, 2018

It was only a matter of time before Jordyn Woods joined her close girlfriends in the beauty business! Woods is currently working on giving us all some serious lip action. A new collaboration of ginormous glossy magnitude. Therefore, get your coins ready because the Jordyn Woods x Too Faced Lip Gloss Collection is coming!

So far, details are rolling out kind of slowly in regards to the Jordyn Woods x Too Faced lippie line. However, Woods and the cosmetics brand teased the collection via Instagram Stories. A slide pictured Jordyn with Too Faced Co-Founder and COO, Jerrod Blandino, and the caption, “Check out Jordyn Woods for her sneaky peek of our lipgloss collaboration!” Translation: It’s on dolls!

BEAUTY EXCLUSIVE: Jordyn Woods x Too Faced Lip Gloss Collection!

Now that confirmation of a collab has been made, we all have the joy of anxiously waiting for the drop (ugh… hurry Too Faced lol). Thus far, no signs of packaging or exact color lineup has popped up, but the brand promises first looks are arriving soon.

To keep us on our makeup toes, Jordyn did offer up a peek of the collection on social media. So far, it looks be one juicy affair! We’re excited for this collaboration because Jordyn’s makeup is always FLAWLESS and she’s been a lipgloss queen for quite some time. For instance, on her IG Woods often includes gloss in her beauty look. On one occasion, in a post she mentioned that she over time found self-confidence and her individuality which allowed her to blossom; and this newfound freeness includes enjoying lipgloss such as the ones by Petite N Pretty.

So then, Woods is not knew to the lipgloss game or the need to feel pretty in your own skin. She now is on a mission to help others feel just as good and beautiful as she does. Go Jordyn!
