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!

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.

Jennifer Dickinson, the Digital Director of Net-A-Porter as well as Editor of PorterEdit had a few words on the newest edition as well. Regarding the issues she says,

“It’s our third annual Women in Television issue and it is truly the best yet.

And the photographs by Matthew Sprout with Alison Edmond and Gemma Stark; are more beautiful than even I could have asked for (and I always ask for the moon).

It was, as usual, a somewhat crazy day; but it was also, for me personally, a day when I was challenged; when I was found lacking; and when I was motivated to truly up my game.

A new collaboration of ginormous glossy magnitude. Therefore, get your coins ready because the Jordyn Woods x Too Faced Lip Gloss Collection is coming!

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!

Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year- Hanging with the Big Boys!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 13, 2018November 13, 2018

James Brown wasn’t lying, “It’s a man’s world.” However, behind every strong male is a strong woman doing her thing too! Athlete Serena Williams is certainly one of the greatest to EVER pick up a tennis racquet; with several gold medals and 22 Grand Slams. Nevertheless, now men’s mag, GQ wants to ensure that everyone knows it beyond a doubt. The Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year cover signifies not only Serena’s iconicism, but her ability to hold her own with the best of the best.

Every year GQ releases a list of guys who they feel are among the elite go-getters. There’s actors, sports figures and also superstars of music. For instance, actor Michael B. Jordan leads the pack, scoring the nod from GQ for the wild success of Black Panther, instantly turning Jordan into a highly sought-after leading man.

Serena Williams GQ 2018 Woman of the Year- Hanging with the Big Boys!

However, the gentlemen need to scoot over, because the queen is also in the building! Serena amongst criticism this year over her attire on the tennis court, to how she defended herself to umpire; rose above the drama to still land as the second best player at the U.S. Open. That’s after a death scare during her pregnancy and giving birth to her daughter. Pure strength.

Serena may never receive accolades without unnecessary drama or unsavory comments; but she is not allowing any of those things to stop her. That’s what makes her the goat. That’s what makes her the 2018 Woman of the Year.

While some may be offended over Serena receiving this honor among men. Assuming GQ perhaps is attempting to label her as being not “ladylike.” We see things differently.

In no way is Serena being labeled as a man. GQ clearly states that she is their Woman honoree. Plus, it shows respect for her accomplishments and that she sticks out, in a good way. She’s powerful, a winner and that is nothing for any man to fear. She’s tough enough to hang with the big boys, but she is still all woman!

Congratulations to Serena on this honor and as she continues to strive to get that record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam. And much respect to GQ for recognizing talent, not hate.

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.”

ArianneUpdated on November 11, 2018November 11, 2018

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!”

Victoria’s Secret Jasmine Tookes Covers Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan November 2018

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.
