ROYAL SURPRISE! Queen inspired essential makes Princess Catherine’s red carpet look “iconic’
No matter what she wears, Catherine attracts attention, but recently, she appeared with a signature piece of jewelry. The long black gloves that Catherine wore with her elegant white dress caused a stir and got everyone talking.
The Royal Family made a deliberate choice when selecting these gloves, which are associated with the Queen. The gloves, known as the Melissa Opera Velvet Gloves by Cornelia James.
Peter James, Cornelia James’ son, commented on Catherine’s appearance, saying that she looked stunning and that her outfit was exquisite for the occasion. He expressed his delight at seeing her wearing the gloves.
Particularly the ones designed by Cornelia James, and suggested that she may be continuing the tradition of the late Queen, who always wore gloves in public. The Queen regularly wears gloves made by Cornelia James, in fact, she appointed Cornelia James as her official glovemaker. According to Cornelia James, the Queen is rarely seen without a pair of gloves. The image of a gloved hand waving from a large black car is an enduring symbol of royal visits and we are proud to have donated gloves on many occasions.
Genevieve James, the company’s creative director, highlighted the significant impact that gloves have on an outfit, saying that gloves can turn any gathering into a special occasion and turn a dress into a statement. She referenced Audrey Hepburn, saying, “Imagine her in just another little black dress, with gloves, it becomes iconic and representative of our time.” A makeup artist noted that Catherine wanted to make a statement not only with her bold accessories, but also through her hair and makeup choices.
Laura noted that the princess exuded majesty and exuded old Hollywood glamour for the occasion. The makeup artist emphasized defined eye makeup and brows, along with other strategic cosmetic choices. She pointed out that Catherine rarely dramatically enhanced both her outfit and makeup at the same time, suggesting that this was a deliberate decision.
The addition of eyeliner accentuates Catherine’s eyes, making her smoky eye pop. Laura points out that Kate’s rose gold highlighter complements her statement Zora earrings and adds a youthful touch to the outfit. Kate styled her hair in her signature waves, which were a bit brighter than usual to highlight her earrings. Her hair was also pulled back from her face and tucked behind her ears.
