Writer's picture: hhshirthhshirt

In the Dr Phil Shirt Besides,I will do this same room, the Alexander McQueen suit that British Vogue’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful wore to receive his OBE is on display—courtesy of British Vogue’s style director Dena Giannini, who helped source and network for the exhibition—seen alongside the Oscar de la Renta dress worn by Anna Wintour to the Met Gala in 2021. “One of the most rewarding and interesting aspects of the exhibition for us has been the creative collaborations,” say Putnam and Acott Williams. “In the 18th century, the palaces showcased works by the best of both new and established artists and creatives, and it only felt right that this exhibition should do the same.” Photo: Getty ImagesBilly Porter can always be trusted to deliver a spectacular red carpet moment, so he naturally makes multiple cameos throughout the exhibition. Porter’s stylist, Sam Ratelle, provided a visual breakdown of his client’s “Sun God” 2019 Met Gala look, designed by The Blonds, while the velvet litter that the star glided on at the event—complete with mannequins clad in the same bejeweled fringes and gold trousers by Nicolas Putvinski that the attendants wore on the night—looks gargantuan compared to Queen Charlotte’s Sedan chair it is displayed alongside. Look out for Porter’s Kensington Palace-inspired Giles Deacon dress in the Cupola room, too (scroll on to read more).


The lights are lowered in the Dr Phil Shirt Besides,I will do this exhibition’s jewelry room, which houses contemporary treasures and historic tiaras. Amidst the dazzling selection on offer is a special ring by Thelma West, called the Rebel Black, which was worn by Rihanna to the Met Gala in 2021. This 5-carat pear-shaped diamond from Botswana is set into black ceramic and gold and was designed for Sotheby’s Brilliant & Black exhibition in New York in 2021.Melanie Grant, who curated the jewelry seen at the exhibition, also highlights the significance of the replica Marguerite suite worn by Beyoncé and the Cullinan V brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth II, both designed by luxury fine jewelry house Garrard. Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s gilded headpiece by House of Malakai (and look by Peter Dundas), which she performed in at the Grammys in 2017, take center stage in the Presence Chamber.
