The Item: Her Royal Highness, Meghan Markle Wears Olive Ralph Lauren Dress. The Duke and Duchess were photographed while attending the christening of their nephew, Price Louis. Louis’ mother, Kate Middleton, also stunned in a white gown by Alexander McQueen.

You Asked: Honestly, I think this is her best look yet! I don’t know who dressed her this time, but the fit is better and the overall style is great. I even loved her matching accessories! How she or her team found perfectly matching shoes for this is beyond me. So would love full details on this look, okay and thank you!

Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle Wears Olive Ralph Lauren Dress

The Verdict: Ask and you shall receive! We too feel that Meghan, excuse us… the Duchess of Sussex looks absolutely amazing in an olive green, belted midi dress by fashion house, Ralph Lauren. Those amazing accessories you mentioned are designs of Stephen Jones (hat) and Manolo Blahnik (heels). Designer Stephen Jones is highly sought after hat maker worn by some of biggest names in fashion from Naomi Campbell to Rihanna as well as Janelle Monae. Jones is also responsible for the para-sisal pale green beret worn by Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland at her daughter’s wedding.

Furthermore, Meghan’s shoes are known as the Manolo Blahnik BB Suede Pointedtoe Pump in Olive Green. The price? Online you find some differences, however, we have noticed that the starting price seems to be $595.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

ArianneUpdated on July 6, 2018July 6, 2018

Whenever you think of an Iris Van Herpen show you know you are in for masterful drama as well as a level of architectural precision that is light-years ahead of any artisan. The recent Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show did not disappoint. Exquisite tailoring, imaginative patterns as well as mind-blowing lasercut garments radiantly made their way down the dark, shadowy catwalk.

Runway Fashion: Iris Van Herpen Syntopia Runway Show

We can only describe this fashion show in one word, mesmerizing. From gowns that float as if they had sprouted wings or drip from a waterfall; to attire reminiscent of iridescent feathers. The entire Iris Van Herpen Fall 2018 collection is just a divine spectacle to behold.

Designer Iris Van Herpen shared a few words regarding the inspiration beyond this extraordinary show. Iris reveals,

“For ‘Syntopia’ I felt inspired by the intricate echoing work of the artists Studio Drift. Their spatial kinetic installation ‘In 20 Steps’ is constructed of 20 delicate glass wings; that represent all the different steps of flying in an abstract way.

The vivacious glass bird flows in symbiosis with the models while they move over the runway. Their delicate interaction emphasizes the fragility of new worlds living and soaring together.”

Ask and Tell: Naomi Harris Wearing Zimmermann Golden Plisse Mini Dress

ArianneUpdated on July 5, 2018July 5, 2018

The Item: Actress and timeless Bond Girl, Naomi Harris Wearing Zimmermann Golden Plisse Mini Dress. Harris was spotted in her chic printed dress while attending the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park Polo Club. The event was held in Ascot, England.

You Asked: 1966 please help… I am so sick and tired of all these so-called fashion pages giving fashion with no information! You’re the only ones who ever have any useful information. So I’m begging you guys to help me out with this style mystery. Who makes Naomie’s floral dress and how much is it?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Harris Wearing Zimmermann Golden Plisse Mini Dress

The Verdict: Hello and we are sorry that you have been missing out on any style intel, but we are always glad to help fill in the gaps! Naomi is wearing the Zimmermann Golden Plisse Mini Dress from the Spring/Summer 2018 collection. She finished off her look with a Manolo Blahnik clutch as well as shoes.

Nevertheless, when it comes to price that is where things get a little sketchy. After some investigation prices for this dress seem to be all over the place. On the Zimmermann website the look came with a price tag of $525; however, it was unfortunately sold out.

We did however find this cute mini dress being sold by another online retailer. FARFETCH who is usually good about keeping an adequate stock of highly sought after couture is currently selling this Zimmermann dress for $964. More than Zimmermann, but at least you can add it to your wardrobe.
