    Princess Diana Refused to Wear Pink and ‘Ripped the Corset’ from Met Gala Dress, John Galliano Says

    The designer, who dressed the late Princess of Wales for her one and only Met appearance, spoke about her Dior look in the new series ‘In Vogue: The 90s’

    Princess Diana had a specific vision for her Met Gala dress in 1996.

    In the new Hulu docuseries In Vogue: The 90s, fashion designer John Galliano spoke about the parameters that the late Princess of Wales had when it came time to design her dress for what would become her one and only Met appearance. Galliano was then creative director at Dior and spoke about the magic of being tapped to create a bespoke look for the princess.

    “I remember one day we all jumped into this old van, and we went to London, where we met Princess Diana. She’d been invited to the Met, and she would wear one of my dresses,” Galliano said in the first volume of the documentary, which premiered on Sept. 13.

    Former British Vogue editor Edward Enninful described the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual benefit as the “most influential red carpet in the world,” raising the stakes for Princess Diana’s fashion statement at the party. Diana made her debut at the Met Gala in New York City in December 1996 with her friend and former Harper’s Bazaar editor Liz Tilberis, and Princess Diana attended just a few months after her divorce was finalized from the future King Charles.

    “It was like a blessing. I mean like, wow,” Galliano said in the series. “We went to Kensington Palace and discussed drawings. I was trying to push for pink, but she was not having it. ‘No, not the pink!’ That was real, real fun.”

    “So we did the dress and subsequent fittings, and it was beautifully done,” he said of the “correct” construction. “Fast-forward to the event, and I just remember her getting out of the car,” Galliano said — and gasped. “I couldn’t believe it. She’d ripped the corset out.”

    “She didn’t want to wear the corset,” he said about the fashion-forward move, in true Diana style. “She felt so liberated. She’d torn the corset out. The dress was much more… sensuous,” he emphasized, recalling her electric ascent up the Met steps.

    Princess Diana’s Most Glamorous Looks of All Time

    “I mean, wow! Diana was my first couture client,” Galliano said.

    The British designer was one of couture’s most influential visionaries through the 1990s and early 2000s, before he upended his career in 2011 following a string of antisemitic and racist incidents. He was fired from Dior as creative director, stepped back from fashion and returned to design for Maison Margiela, holding the post since 2014.

    Much has been made of Princess Diana’s fashion splash at the Met Gala in 1996, where she wore a boudoir-like navy silk slip dress with black lace trim from Galliano’s debut couture collection as the creative director of Dior. She completed the look with a matching silk robe-like topper (which she later removed), a statement pearl-and-sapphire choker necklace and the mini navy quilted Dior bag that the label renamed the Lady Dior in her honor.

    The late Princess of Wales was known as Lady Diana Spencer before she married the future King in 1981, and the handheld bag became one of her go-to purses.

    During the 1990s, Diana began to experiment more with her style, sporting shorter hemlines and sexier silhouettes. The 1996 Met Gala would ultimately prove to be her only appearance at the event, as she died following a car crash in Paris in August 1997. The late Princess of Wales is remembered as a style icon, and her daughters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle continue to take style cues from her today.

    “I think all of us were so captivated and fascinated by Princess Diana,” Vogue editor Anna Wintour said in the new docuseries. “At that time, she was the most famous woman in the world. She was enjoying fashion and the spotlight that she put on particularly British designers.”

    In Vogue: The ’90s Volume I debuted on Hulu on Sept. 13, and Volume II premieres on Sept. 20.

    Brooklyn has previously shared his excitement about starting a family, telling PEOPLE in November 2022, “I could have had kids yesterday.”

    “Obviously it’s my wife’s body, but I’ve always wanted to have a bunch of kids around. That’s something I really want to do,” he said. “And my dad was young when he had me. He was 23. And I’m 23 now. I’ve always wanted to be a young dad.”

    Victoria Beckham’s haircut is giving us some serious nostalgia.

    On Monday, Sept. 2, the fashion designer, 50, soft launched her latest hair — a near-shoulder length bob. Victoria showed off her fresh look in an Instagram carousel of photos from a recent trip to Las Vegas to celebrate her son, Romeo Beckham’s 22nd birthday.

    In the photo, Victoria poses on what appears to be the Las Vegas Strip with her husband David Beckham as they’re surrounded by three of their children: Romeo, Cruz, 19, and Harper Seven, 13. (The couple’s oldest son, 25-year-old Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, didn’t join his family on the trip.)

    Victoria’s normally long hair now just barely brushes her shoulders. She paired her new style with a simple, strapless black dress for the occasion, while husband David, 49, wore a pink silk button-down shirt with the first few buttons open to reveal his chest. The birthday boy Romeo kept things simple with a black shirt and black pants, while Cruz wore a striped button-down and khaki-colored slacks. Meanwhile, Harper rocked a Bruno Mars T-shirt.

    The former pop star’s new style is reminiscent of the ’90s-era bob she sported during her time as a member of the iconic group the Spice Girls. In those days, Victoria cut her hair in a true blunt bob that hit just below her chin. She also favored a darker hair color and wore her locks straight, as was in keeping with the trends of the day.

    Her new take on the bob is far more modern — while still being trendy. She’s still parting her hair down the middle, but now she’s styling it in soft waves and opting for a few blonde highlights interwoven into her brunette tresses.

  • No Need To Wait Until She Becomes A Princess, Meghan Markle’S Style In The Movie “Suits” Is Also Extremely Beautiful And Charming.

    No Need To Wait Until She Becomes A Princess, Meghan Markle’S Style In The Movie “Suits” Is Also Extremely Beautiful And Charming.

    Every time we look back at Princess Meghan Markle’s moments in the movie “Suits”, we can’t help but miss the beautiful, charming lawyer that the British royal bride played so well.

    Princess Meghan Markle is probably the most interesting member of the British Royal Family, having started out as a promising Hollywood actress. Meghan’s most memorable role in her career was as the strong, determined lawyer Rachel Zane in the 7-part hit American TV series “Suits” (broadcast from 2011 to 2018). The new Princess Meghan’s fashion style is clearly beautiful and classy, ​​and this is even recognized by the whole world. However, if you pay attention, you will see that Meghan’s style in this famous movie “Suits” is also equally charming and eye-catching. If you don’t believe it, try looking at the series of photos below.


    The beautiful and hot lawyer Rachel Zane is played by Princess Meghan.

    Before becoming a Princess who always dressed neatly, discreetly and properly; Meghan in the movie “Suits” often chose tight-fitting, body-hugging outfits and knew how to change them up to make office wear less boring and stiff. For example, she always wore shirts with a deep enough neckline to make the overall look more sexy and liberal while still maintaining elegance and grace.



    When playing Rachel Zane, Meghan often wears shirts with deep necklines, both seductive and elegant.

    The female lawyer character played by Meghan at that time often favored clothes in dark, neutral colors such as white, black, gray or beige. This way of dressing also partly expressed the image of a smart, strong but equally delicate and feminine lawyer.



    She often favors dark, neutral colors.

  • Sad news has emerged! Camilla has been forced to relinquish her title as Queen, leaving many to wonder what has happened.

    Sad news has emerged! Camilla has been forced to relinquish her title as Queen, leaving many to wonder what has happened.

    Recently, news from Buckingham Palace confirmed a significant and unexpected change within the British royal family: Queen Camilla has been required to step down from her royal title. This revelation has left both royal observers and the public in shock, as it marks a pivotal moment in the current monarchy under King Charles III. Camilla, who assumed the role of queen consort upon Charles’ ascension to the throne, has spent years transitioning from a figure once surrounded by controversy to one that gained public respect through dedication and active engagement in her duties. The reasons behind this move, however, point to a complex mix of royal protocol, public sentiment, and strategic adjustments aimed at fortifying the monarchy’s position.

    King Charles III, who has expressed a desire to modernize and streamline the institution, has reportedly made this decision as part of his vision for a more focused and adaptable royal family. While the king has been known for advocating environmental initiatives and progressive ideas, his reign has also come with the challenge of balancing tradition with evolving public expectations. The decision to have Camilla step down from her queen consort title is seen by some experts as a strategic maneuver to simplify the royal hierarchy and ensure the line of succession maintains a clear, unchallenged narrative, especially as attention increasingly shifts to the next generation—Prince William and Princess Kate.

    This move has inevitably drawn mixed reactions. Supporters of King Charles argue that this is a necessary step to maintain the monarchy’s relevance and bolster its future stability. They believe that, by making such difficult choices, the king demonstrates his commitment to reinforcing the institution’s core values and public standing. On the other hand, critics express concern over the personal impact this decision may have on Camilla, who has spent years building her reputation and adjusting to her high-profile role after a complicated entry into royal life.

    Camilla’s journey in the royal family has been marked by resilience. Once vilified by many for her relationship with King Charles during his marriage to Princess Diana, she eventually found acceptance by proving her dedication to charitable work and consistently supporting her husband’s public and private endeavors. Her removal from the queen consort title, therefore, raises questions about fairness and whether this step signals a broader strategy or simply a response to external pressures.he future implications of this development remain to be seen. Will Camilla’s role within the family continue in a different capacity, or does this signify a more profound shift in how the monarchy will approach its members’ roles? For now, the palace’s statement has emphasized unity and the importance of adapting to a changing landscape. It remains clear that King Charles’ decisions will shape the legacy of his reign and determine how the monarchy is perceived during a time of transformation.

     

    The public watches closely as this story unfolds, understanding that behind the grandeur and tradition, the royal family must navigate a path that preserves both its legacy and its relevance in the modern world.

    Meghan’s staff give her harsh title as sources claim she ‘makes grown men cry’

    Meghan is dubbed ‘Duchess Difficult’ by ‘terrified’ US staff as source claims she throws ‘tantrums’ and ‘makes grown men cry’ – while ‘enabler’ Harry is increasingly isolated with his closest friend his bodyguard-for-hire

     

    Meghan Markle has been dubbed ‘Duchess Difficult’ by her staff amid claims that she ‘terrifies’ and ‘belittles’ people, a damning report has revealed.

    According to the Hollywood Reporter, a source close to the couple has claimed that Meghan ‘belittles people, she doesn’t take advice’.

    They also described the couple as ‘both poor decision-makers’ who ‘change their minds frequently’ – with Harry dubbed ‘a very, very charming person’ and yet ‘very much an enabler’.

    The publication reported allegations that Meghan was ‘absolutely relentless’ and that ‘she marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders’, adding: ‘I’ve watched her reduce grown men to tears’.

    The new claims come as the couple prepare to celebrate the Duke of Sussex turning 40 on Sunday, as separate sources suggested he was feeling increasingly lonely in the US and considers his security guard David Langdown his best friend.

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend an official photocall to announce their engagement at The Sunken Gardens, Kensington Palace on November 27, 2017. The couple have gained a reputation for losing employees, and are believed to have lost at least 18 members of their workforce since they married in 2018

    The new allegations form part of a study into an exodus of staff who had worked for the Sussexes, including the couple’s chief of staff Josh Kettler who resigned from his role in August after a three-month stint.

    Meghan’s ‘noisy tantrums’ and ‘angry 5 am emails’ have also earned her the nickname ‘Duchess Difficult’ by her members of staff, the Hollywood Reporter said.

    Meghan had previously been accused of bullying palace staff before the pair’s move to California, prompting royal aides to launch an inquiry into claims of Meghan’s ‘belittling’ behaviour towards two personal assistants.

    Staff were said to have been left in tears and feeling ‘traumatised’ – with some likening their condition to having post-traumatic stress.

    Do you think Meghan and Harry will reconcile with the Royal Family?

    While details of the report were never revealed, the allegations have always been strongly denied by the duchess, whose lawyers described them at the time as a ‘calculated smear campaign’.

    The new reports come after it was revealed last week by The Mail on Sunday that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex‘s PR adviser Christine Weir Schirmer had left quietly at the end of last year after joining the couple as head of communications for their charitable foundation Archewell in 2020.

    News of Schirmer’s departure came just weeks after it was reported that Kettler had resigned after his short spell working for the couple.

    While Kettler had been hired on a trial basis when he took up the role with Harry and Meghan, US magazine People reported that the ‘decision to part ways was mutual, with both sides agreeing it wasn’t the right fit’.

    But the departures of Schirmer and Kettler have only highlighted the problems Meghan and Harry have long had when it comes to keeping their staff.

    Soho House Founder Nick Jones Reveals Insider Details Of Meghan Markle’s YACHT DAYS With Markus Anderson, Shedding New Light On Her Past Connections

    In the glittering maze of London’s Soho, Meghan Markle found a vibrant haven: Soho House.
    Founder Nick Jones Exposes Meghan Markle's Yacht Days with Markus Anderson at Soho House
    This exclusive members-only club, infused with both Hollywood buzz and a discreet air of secrecy, strikes a balance between celebrity allure and private sanctuaries. Nestled in a historic townhouse that once belonged to a famed courtesan, Soho House is steeped in luxury, exclusivity, and intrigue—qualities that likely made Meghan feel instantly at home. It’s more than a club; it’s a network where ambitious Hollywood personalities brush shoulders with British high society amid decor that doesn’t shy from the provocative.

    The Dean Street location, rumored to be where Meghan and Prince Harry first met, flaunts wallpaper that might even make the Queen raise an eyebrow. Meghan, however, seemed unfazed, reportedly treating the club as her personal pied-à-terre, with her luggage always in tow. Why settle for a typical hotel when Soho House offers an unmatched blend of luxury and industry connections?

    A significant figure in Meghan’s Soho House circle is Marcus Anderson, a Soho House executive and close confidant. Often referred to as Meghan’s “fixer,” Anderson is said to have introduced her to Prince Harry and reportedly coordinated early dates for the couple at Babington House, a posh Soho House outpost in the English countryside. Babington House, while presenting itself as a classic luxury estate, carries a bolder reputation. Behind its traditional wood-paneled walls and crackling fireplaces, it holds an edgy, hedonistic charm. Even Nick Jones, the founder of Soho House, has hinted that Babington is where couples may encounter… other couples. This cozy, rustic setting hides an undercurrent of decadence, where networking and connections reach an entirely different level.

    Meghan’s adventures at Soho House extended beyond romance and into her celebrated “girls’ trips,” frequently held at Soho locations or aboard luxury yachts. These outings, captured in meticulously crafted Instagram posts, showcased Meghan’s “living my best life” vibe—a polished brand built on glamour and leisure. For her pre-wedding celebration, there was no place more fitting than Soho Farmhouse, an ultra-exclusive countryside venue frequented by the elite. There, Meghan’s bachelorette event perfectly encapsulated a “down-to-earth” yet lavish charm, set against a backdrop of celebrity-studded surroundings.

    Of course, Soho House wouldn’t maintain its status as a cultural hot spot without a swirl of rumors. Behind its cocktail bars and plush lounges, whispers of members dabbling in experimental lifestyles have long floated about, adding to the club’s mystique. Names like designer Paul Lowe and actress Sadie Frost have been loosely associated with the so-called “Soho swinging set,” though whether this is fact or fantasy remains uncertain. Soho House practically invites such speculation, its shadowy corners and suggestive decor sparking countless rumors over the years.

    Interestingly, Meghan and Harry’s reputed escapades invite comparisons to another famous royal pair—the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Like Meghan and Harry, they defied royal conventions, sparked scandals, and became legends of gossip. This infamous couple also had a fixer—Scotty Bowers, a Hollywood insider who arranged discreet encounters and later recounted his stories in a memoir filled with tales of Golden Age mischief. What further revelations Soho House holds remains to be seen, but the allure of its secrets promises to keep drawing curiosity and whispers for years to come.
