There's a Very Special Hidden Detail in Princess Eugenie's Wedding Dress

Princess Eugenie of York may only be ninth in line to the throne, but she certainly knows how to make a fashion statement. Besides the lack of veil and her scandalously exposed back, anyone with a sharp eye may have caught another interesting feature of Princess Eugenie's gorgeous wedding gown: it's not plain white. The head-turning dress, created by British designer Peter Pilotto, has a subtle garland pattern that is easy to miss but that has an important symbolic meaning for Eugenie. The 28-year-old princess worked closely with the designers to collaborate on the dress, and the result is a gown that has a lot more detail to it than it seems at first glance.

Included in the detail design is a thistle for Scotland as a nod to Balmoral, the Scottish holiday home to the royal family; a shamrock for Ireland, which represents Eugenie's maternal side of the family; the York rose, which is the symbol of the House of York; and ivy, which alludes to the Ivy Cottage where Princess Eugenie and her new husband Jack Brooksbank will live after the wedding. According to the official press release, these special symbols were then "reinterpreted in a garland of rope like motifs, woven into a jacquard of silk, cotton and viscose blend."

For Pilotto, creating pieces that tell a story is not new to him. As he told Pret-a-Reporter back in 2015, "You don't really know our clothes from the runway. You need to experience them in person and touch them to understand how much work, experimentation, patterns and building goes into every collection."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
