This catwalk favourite is now huge on the high street and it even has the royal seal of approval with Kate Middleton spotted in the trend. So here’s how to wear this season’s must-have piece…

Somewhere between the midi and the maxi skirt is the ‘midaxi.’ Confused? Don’t be. A midaxi is the kind of skirt that falls significantly below the knee but definitely isn’t really long enough to be categorised as a maxi, hence the portmanteau.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked suitably festive hosting a Christmas party at Kensington Palace with Prince William, choosing a bright red tartan skirt that she teamed with a black cashmere cardigan and black suede boots.

Adding to the winter wonderland feel, the Kate and Wills were met with a flurry of fake snow on arrival at the event, which was held for families and children of RAF personnel serving in Cyprus.

Tailoring is a big part of the Duchess of Sussex’s wardrobe.

The 37-year-old is frequently seen in a sharp suit jacket, paired with tuxedo trousers or skinny jeans (we loved the oversized white pinstripe blazer she rocked in Sydney recently), but one of the coolest tailored looks she’s worn this year was a dress, rather than separates.

It’s been a while since Meghan Markle’s iconic style has been in the spotlight, but this week the Duchess of Sussex watched a performance of the US musical Hamilton at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London. Joined by Prince Harry, Meghan wore what can only be described as the perfect date night look, dressed a sleek black tuxedo minidress.

It’s going to be a summer of straw hats –according to Instagram, influencers and fashion editors, the wide brim sun hat will be the season’s must-have fashion accessory for wearing on the beach or in the city (in Dubai we do both).

Meghan Markle has already become a style icon with her fashionable flair and fresh take on royal protocol, it’s no wonder that ALL of her outfits instantly sell out. With the weather warming up in London, the future princess has embraced springtime and gifted us with even more enviable outfits that we can’t wait to copy and paste here in Dubai.

Priyanka Chopra has been in Dubai for the 6th annual Global Education & Skills Forum and the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. The Quantico star and UNICEF goodwill ambassador has been joined by fellow celebrities Mo Farah, Gina Torres, Charlize Theron, Brian Lara, Taron Egerton and Suits star Sarah Rafferty, for the recent education events in Dubai.

Meghan Markle evidently read our 11 fashion trends to follow in 2018 and was inspired by this year’s must-have fashion accessory –the beret! Paired with a cream coat by Amanda Wakeley, navy Manolo Blahnik pumps and a navy Mulberry clutch bag, Markle looked super chic in the cream-coloured beret by Stephen Jones whilst attending the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in London.

Just when you thought red carpet fashion had retired for the season, another awards show appears as Arab fashion designers shone once again at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. In particular it was Zuhair Murad’s couture creations which dazzled on Jenna Dewan Tatum and Hailey Baldwin, as celebrities can’t get enough of the Lebanese designer….and neither can we!
