Today, Hunter says he’s proud of the fashion art they created together on the video—it’s now a big part of Y2K pop culture. “That video is timeless,” he says. Even more special is how Beyoncé has incorporated new versions of the white tank top outfit for her backup dancers on this summer’s Renaissance tour. (This time, the shorts come complete with bejeweled fringed derrières.) Hunter hopes to attend the LA show in September—though he’ll be plenty busy on his own accord this summer. The stylist has a handbag collaboration coming out with A.Cloud and recently released his memoir titled Makeover from Within Lessons in Hardship, Acceptance, and Self Discovery. “I wanted to let people know about the trials and tribulations that I’ve been through and motivate people to keep going,” says Hunter. “Life is hard, and there are always going to be some curves in the road—but as long as you keep going, you can do anything.” Considering he delivered the fashions in one of the best pop videos of all time, we’d have to agree.
Before the Duchess of Sussex was the Duchess of Sussex, she had a starring role in Suits, one eye on Hollywood, and a sleek wardrobe to match. Then came her dashing prince, a fairytale wedding, and two rather turbulent years as a senior working royal, a period Meghan spent largely in tailored Givenchy separates, classic Jimmy Choo court shoes, and Stephen Jones fascinators. The mother of two has adopted a relaxed, Cali girl style since she and her family left London to set up home in Montecito, swapping coat dresses for floaty maxis and stiletto heels for luxe summer flats. But last night in New York, royal style watchers witnessed the return of Meghan, Hollywood princess. The Duchess attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards wearing a strapless gold bodycon dress by Johanna Ortiz with a subtle cut out at the sternum. Meghan added a pair of barely there strappy sandals by Tom Ford (the man famously credited with putting sex back into fashion early in his career) and a tumble of waves swept over one shoulder.Photo Getty Images Dressing for palace life is a delicate balancing act the media microscope demands that high profile royal women look immaculate but appropriate—leaving little opportunity to embrace good old fashioned sex appeal (see the eyebrows raised by the Princess of Wales’s red manicure over Easter.) Meghan no longer needs to concern herself with such “protocols” (unspoken or otherwise), a freedom that was on full display in New York as she accepted the Woman of Vision Award at the ceremony in recognition of her advocacy for women and girls.
