If you care, Kate Middleton wore a dress.
It’s not just any dress, though, it’s a ‘Vampire’s Wife’ dress – whatever that is.
Between appearing on podcasts and pulling pints in Belfast, it’s any wonder she found the time to mix up the classic royal silhouette of tweed and sensible coats.
The Guardian detailed why we should be making a noise about this particular fashion moment.
Kate wore the dress on her recent tour of Ireland. It’s a modest dress, covering a considerable amount of skin – appropriate for a charity fundraiser.
The dress is also making waves because it’s worn by both Royals and rock musicians. Those two don’t usually mix.
“Back in 2018, Rachel Weisz wore a floor-length, deepest aubergine version to the Baftas, Margot Robbie wore the same in crimson to a wedding in Australia and Jennifer Aniston chose an identical frock for a Jimmy Kimmel appearance.
Last year, Kate Moss appeared in a Vampire’s Wife campaign modelling a shorter version, the Mayhem, while Princess Beatrice wore the Falconetti to Ellie Goulding’s wedding. This dress has crossed every divide: from London to LA, from music to fashion, and from alternative to establishment,” The Guardian explained.
Great.
The dress was created by Susie Cave, 53-year-old former model and designer, and wife to goth-rock musician Nick Cave – her ‘Vampire’.
When Susie’s label was launched in 2014, the designer played it safe with a broad scope of trendy florals and bohemian skirts.
Sadly, in 2015, Nick and Susie lost their 15-year-old son in a tragic accident and Susie’s grief meant that her designs fell on the wayside.
A few months later, Susie was encouraged by her friends and family to use her passion and talent for fashion as a way to distract her and, ultimately, heal.
In a 2017 interview, Susie explained how, “To be honest, work is what has saved me”.
And, now you know.
