THE LOOK

At the British Academy Film Awards, she wowed on

Instagram in this shockingpink Valentino ensemble. A modern-day Viscountess, to be sure. On her way to the Today Show she looked absolutely peachy, dressed in Hermes from the collar of her rope jacket to the toe of her fl atforms. She made her fashion girl debut at the world premiere of Bridgerton Series 2, pairing a wide-collar crop and accented lace skirt with a Gucci underwear set complete with garters.

Everything here screams ‘cool girl’, from her Channel outfi t, complete with monogram platforms, to the clean makeup, to the Starbucks donut. Speaking of cool girl, matching her emerald eyeshadow to the Chanel monogram on her dress? Flawless.

She dazzled at the British Fashion Awards in November last year in a custom AZ factory gown. We rest our case, your honour.
