Jodie Turner-Smith Wears Ralph Lauren
Jodie Turner-Smith is a budding fashion icon and her looks are larger than life thanks to her stylists Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald. Her style shines through on and off the red carpet. This look at Wimbledon was a fun take on what’s deemed preppy. She wore a purple head-to-toe Ralph Lauren outfit. The jacquard print on her pants and the contrasting floral zip-up bomber jacket with embroidered decals on it were an unlikely pairing, but they fared well together. Her woven blue and brown mini bag was an exquisite addition. Her light lime and green scarf was a key accessory that added a whimsical layer to her look. She completed her outfit with a pointed-toe heel.
Ncuti Gatwa Wears Ralph Lauren
Actor Ncuti Gatwa also wore a head-to-toe Ralph Lauren look to Wimbledon–he was likely styled by his stylist Felicity Kay. Gatwa’s pinstripe navy suit was paired with a vest and tie layered over a light blue striped shirt. His look was a classic take on preppy style, and especially appropriate for the prestigious tennis competition. A pair of circular sunglasses at his breast pocket were utilized as an accessory, and a pair of loafers with a tassel detail added to the appeal of his ensemble. The simple, yet classy outfit was a standout at Wimbledon.
June Ambrose Previews Missy Elliot’s Tour Looks
Missy Elliott is a client that June Ambrose has worked with for years with her music videos and is now working with her again for her ongoing “Out Of This World” tour. The looks are revealed in its beginning stages with just sketches, in mostly black. They are edgy and flamboyant. The rapper has never been known to be shy when it comes to her fashion sense. On this tour, expect these looks to come to life in magnificent ways with exaggerated puff sleeves and a goth-inspired element with buckles and eye-catching tall boots.
