The Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace, London brought together both royalty and celebrity to raise money for charity. But the question is, who was the best dressed?
Michelle Dockery
Outfit
The Downtown Abbey actor donned a black, body-contouring Stella McCartney racer-back dress, a far cry from her character on the show. We must say she has great shoulders, and that gold belt cinches the whole look together, showing off Dockery’s great figure!
Shoes and Accessories
The accessories seem to be lacking in this ensemble. While the cut of the dress dispels the need of a necklace, we wish she’d worn a few bangles or bracelets as her arms look quite bare. Her black, satin Stella McCartney Beckett clutch, was a tad boring though we do like the fact that she defied the dress code, wearing black to a white gala.
Hair and Make-up
Dockery’s chic bob is just that, chic. The star looks extremely sophisticated with this sleek, elegant hairstyle, and those magenta lips are to die for!
Taylor Swift
Outfit
We’ve all heard about Taylor Swift’s princess moment on stage with Bon Jovi and Prince William, and we must say she definitely looked the part! The statuesque singer looked absolutely breathtaking in a shimmery white and silver floor length Reem Acra gown, which had a small ruffle on the side and an embellished bodice that rested off her shoulders.
Shoes and Accessories
Swift’s embellished bodice left little need for jewellery, and the star did just that. Pairing the dress with Jenny Packham clutch and Rene Caovilla heels, the star let the dress do all the talking, and we love what it has to say!
Hair and Make-up
Swift’s trademark red lips never disappoint, and her retro, pulled back curls bring all attention to her dress. She never gets it wrong!
