here is a moodboard I made based on the fact that I feel like there should be more water themeing in padmé’s costumes

naboo is a world with a water core, with an amphibious indigenous species, and actual sea monsters! padmé deserves to dress like a sea queen!

One thing I like about young royals is getting to see teenagers actually having nice style. I am currently in high school and the way that the guys all dress very similar, sweatsuits, and sneakers, sagged skinny jeans. It’s just makes me think if they were in different environment how their wardrobe would change. They all act the same as well, either they’re hockey guys that all hangout together, or they’re wannabe gangsters that think they look cool but they just look weird doing little hand spasms that are supposed to be gang signs.

The girls aren’t better, they all wear Aritzia or Lululemon, which is all solid colour, no graphic clothing that is just so boring and doesn’t look very good when you’re wearing all one colour. Theres no individuality or personality. A lot of them are quite ditsy as well, overall annoying to deal with 30 hours a week.

I’m not saying that everyone dresses this way, there are a good few that dress the way they want to, and have quite good style in my opinion. So it’s nice to see that in yr they all dress nicely, and a lot of them are quite attractive people. I’m aware that in Sweden the baseline of what’s appropriate to wear in public is much higher than where I live, but it’s still nice to see well put together people everywhere you look. I’m not sure how big gang culture is in Sweden, but I can assume that the boys at Hillerska have and will probably never encounter a gangster because of the bubble they live in.

Someone made the point that Kate ripping off Meghan's working royal fashion is her ripping off Meghan's worst fashion era, literally feeding off Meghan's crumbs, and I cannot stop thinking about that.

Ashe, do you worry that your girlfriend will always put others above herself? Carter very much gives "why I'd be delighted to put my needs last again" vibes. Maybe you can say that since you two are in a relationship, it's natural that she puts your needs first. But she'll put yours AND anyone else's which basically means you're not that special to her, it's just what she does. {Since Ashe had narcissism in her mental health results will she lose it at the idea of not being special to her gf? JESUS.}

"I'm not worried," Ashelia said nonchalantly. "I will make sure that Carter looks after herself and puts herself first when she ought to. Is that not what love is? Caring for someone's needs and well-being as much as your own? There are times when I might be put first, and times when she might be, and there will be even more times, I hope, when neither will be above the other in priority. I think relationships should be equal partnerships, don't you?

"I... would never wish to speak ill of the dead, and it was not really his fault, it was more our circumstance, but even before I married Rasler, it was made clear to me that he would be in power. Politically, socially, even in our marriage. Our kingdoms were both built by kings, not queens. As his wife, I would never have been Queen of Dalmasca, only his consort, and after my father passed, Dalmasca would have become an extension of Nabradia. Of course almost none of that came to pass because of the Archadian invasion, but that... never sat well with me. I think, regardless of gender, relationships should be equal partnerships, with the needs of both lovers met.

"I trust that Carter and I will find our way, given time. Our relationship is new, we are still learning about each other. I hope that she will be comfortable with me to voice her concerns if she has any, but I will also watch to make sure she is not putting her needs last all the time. That is not healthy for anyone to do. As for me not feeling special... oh, how wrong you are there. Carter always makes me feel special. All she need do is sit next to me and smile, and I feel special. She has that effect on me," Ashe said, smiling brightly.

Red Carpet Shenanigans at the 80th Venice Film Festival: When Fashion Takes Center Stage

Venice Lido, August 30, 2023 – The 80th Venice International Film Festival has officially kicked off, and while the strikes and waivers have made attendance a bit sparse, the red carpet is bursting with glamour, drama, and a touch of hilarity. As celebrities graced the scene, their outfits seemed to be telling stories of their own, much like a silent film where the attire speaks louder than…

Batkids playing any kind of board game but make it extra competitive because whoever wins gets to choose what Bruce wears for the next gala.

Bruce, in a sparkly top and skinny jeans:

Reporter: Ah, who chose your outfit tonight, Brucie?

Bruce: That'd be my eldest, dear!

Dick, behind him, full into the gala persona: Flattering, isn't it? He should wear it more often, don't you think, sweetheart?

Reporter, flushed: Oh, absolutely.

Bruce (to Dick): Get a new fashion style. Please.

Dick: Never.

Reporter: Who would be responsible for your wardrobe tonight, Brucie? It's certainly a statement.

Bruce, head to toe in a pink suit and Hello Kitty accessories: Gorgeous, isn't it? All the credit will have to be given to Jason, though, I'm afraid.

Reporter: Your second son, if I'm not mistaken?

Bruce: The very one.

Jason from across the gala hall, trying to not cough up his drink with laughter:

Tim, next to him: He's pulling it off, though. Little spins and everything.

Jason: Still ridiculous. That's Batman right there, Timbo.

Tim, snickering: The Dark Knight, huh?

Bruce, dressed in a collared white shirt, sweater and skirt, looking like he just came out of a light academia novel:

Reporter: Wow, Brucie. Who do we thank for that wonderful outfit choice?

Bruce: Ah, flattering, is it not? Tim's choices when it comes to fashion are wonderful, if not a bit simple.

Tim, nodding from behind him: Only the finest satin skirts. Charming, right?

Tim, to Bruce: Don't call my style simple, Mr. all I wear is black.

[Jason handing Dick $10 in the background because Bruce does, in fact, pull off a skirt.]

Reporter: Oh lord, what a gown! Who influenced your fashion choice tonight, Brucie?

Bruce, in a long green and black gown with gold accessories, nothing short of royal-looking: I fear only one person I know could choose an outfit as gorgeous as this one.

Damian, proudly next to him, in a smaller, matching gown: Only the most exquisite. You lot in this flimsy country cannot compare.

Bruce: Yes, Damian has a fine taste in fashion. He gets it from his mother.

Damian, quieter: Well certainly not from you.

Bruce, dressed in an elegant white dress shirt, long black pants and a corset with red accessories, a fan in his right hand:

Reporter: What an entrance! Anyone to give credit to for the wardrobe, Brucie?

Bruce: That'd be my daughter, she certainly shines with her choice of clothing.

Cass, grinning with a matching fan: Very pretty.

Bruce: Thank you, Cass.

Reporter: Woah, that's certainly new. Any reason for this choice of clothes, Brucie, dear?

Bruce, in a snapback cap, loose jeans and a band t-shirt, complete with rings and a chain around his neck: Well, all of my children are creative, but... Duke might just take the cake for this one, love.

Duke, losing his absolute shit next to Jason, Dick and Tim: You look great, B.

Steph doesn't usually go to galas, but she participates in the game nevertheless. If she wins, god help Bruce, because it's a gamble with her. He either ends up wearing a gorgeous outfit with eccentric and trend-setting accessories or literal checkered pyjamas. Worst yet, he has to say he picked it himself, since he can't directly blame Steph.

Out and about | New York City, NY | November 9, 2024

Vivienne Westwood 'Sunday Striped Cotton Dress' - $2,390.00 Jacquie Aiche ‘3 Graduated Teardrop Sophia Diamond Chain Double Stud’ - $3,200.00 For Future Reference ‘Vintage 1970s Ancient Bronze Coin Necklace’ - $12,750.00 Ben Amun 'Luigi Bracelet' - $245.00 Vivienne Westwood 'Granny Frame Purse' - $210.00 Aquazzura ‘Twist 95 Pleated Sandals’ - $795.00

This outfit has a lot of recognizable, repeat elements going on for it which is something Taylor does a lot with her fashion. Weaving new but familiar pieces in with repeat pieces keeps her wardrobe consistent, but fresh.

Take the dress for starters. For every era there is often a silhouette or item that Taylor has elevated to be its most iconic or associated. For TTPD, it’s definitely been the bustier/corset. And in terms of designers, Vivienne Westwood was an early pioneer in bringing the style to the masses making the house a natural choice to wear.

If the silhouette of the dress looks particularly familiar, it’s because we have actually “seen this film before.” Taylor has worn the checked version of this ‘Sunday’ top to the Chiefs vs Saints game and the blue version of the ‘Sunday’ dress in personal photos shared by Brittany Mahomes from Amsterdam, Netherlands in the summer.

The layering of colours on the bodice feel like a painting of a sunset to me. By Taylor's admission, there was a period of time when she near exclusively "dressed like a 1950s housewife." In some ways, this silhouette feels like a callback to the prim retro dresses of that time, splattered with a war paint of defiance.

Ancient coin jewelry has been a bit of a micro trend in Taylor’s wardrobe of late. In this outfit alone, she pairs a new coin bracelet by a new-to-her brand with a vintage coin necklace. A part of me wonders if their frequency / repetition in her jewelry collection plays a similar role to the number of evil eye pieces she’s worn over the last year given that they’re also often believed to be pieces that bring protection and luck. 

The teardrop earrings are repeats Taylor has worn on a number of occasions since around October 2023. 

If you’ve been following along with Taylor’s fashion, you’ll likely recognize this bag immediately because of the adornment on its front. As a fashion refresher, the symbol is the Vivienne Westwood ‘orb’ logo - an iconic design within VW house codes. It was designed to be a take on the Sovereign orb of the British Royal Family and a cheeky reference to Vivienne’s self-described title of “queen” of fashion.

VW describes the bag as a “a vintage-inspired silhouette and a kiss-lock closure, recalling antique coin purses from the early 20th-century.” Fitting given the vintage coin necklace she’s wearing around her neck, don’t you think?

Despite the “vintage” vibes of the bag, I can’t help but feel that it’s a bit stark and disjointed against the rest of the outfit.

Taylor has also previously worn both the necklace and shoes here. The oversized coin necklace has been seen on two occasions. Its debut was at the Chiefs season opener against the Ravens back in September and its first repeat just a few days following paired with a Gucci monogram dress (For Fashion History lovers, shall share in Stories!).

Of its three outings, this is my least favourite styling of this necklace (the Chiefs game ‘fit was my fave of the three). I would guess based on the cut of the dress Taylor may have been going for a throwback / vintage look my first impression was renaissance fair meets oil painting) but something about the pairing of the scale of the necklace here isn’t working for me.

The necklace itself was a special one-of-a-kind vintage piece from the 70s that For Future Reference founder Randi Molofsky told me was “heavily influenced by the disco movement and Italian resort style.”

To pick up on the colours in the bodice of her dress, Taylor wore a coordinating pair of repeat velvet sandals. You might recall that Taylor previously wore these in September 2023 while out and about in NYC (That particular outfit was a noted copy + paste for me. Will share to stories!).

The velvet here adds a lush, seasonal texture to a going out ‘fit.

Tada! Peasant Aurora! Or... Briar Rose at this point.

Sleeping Beauty is set in the 14th century. Not only is it the origin for the original fairytale but Prince Phillip has a rather iconic line in the Disney film explicitly stating that it is the 14th century.

This outfit has a two layer dress. One is the actual dress and the other is a surcoat that isn't just fashionable for the time but also serves it's intended purpose of protecting the dress underneath. The 14th century is the beginning of more form-fitting dress tailoring, so details like the lacing on the sleeves and tighter fit are important for defining the era's fashion. She should be wearing an apron and a veil or wimple but it is artistic license? (And there are some historic evidence of loose hair illustrated in this time so if anyone could get away with it, it would be a peasant girl who has never met anyone outside of her caretakers?)

Either way, Aurora's movie palette really works for this kind of homespun outfit with nods to her royal (purple) heritage. I went the extra step as well and added ribbons in the colours of her future wardrobe.
