In Dior
24
Also serving vintage was Natasha in a sequin gown from Dior from the John Galliano era. What I loved about Natasha is how she keeping every part of her outfit interesting, in this case, the hair and the carrying of two bags. The vintage Chanel paired with a very rare sterling silver Hermès Kelly 15 bag.
She looked great!

I have a question- what is the relevance of these bags? Are they relevant just because they are expensive and consequently exclusive? I don’t see the designs being really different from other bags
Not enough events in the world to exhaust her collection of “stuff”? So has to carry 2 bags, wear different shoes on each feet, what next? Her rate of acquisition has long since outpaced any possible occasion to justify it.
Payal are you really writing these yourself or is it some 18yr old intern? This repetitive crude, out-of-date obsequiesness over “vintage” the “rare and exclusive” is not a critique of fashion. It comes off as an embarrassing worship of wealth and access.
The line between conspicuous consumption and fashion is thin I agree. But there is banal vulgarity like this luxury hoarder above and then there are some once in a generation icons like Marlene Dietrich, Tilda Swinton, Michele Lamy, Rei Kawakubo who offered a vision, not a receipt!
This blog is not just a plebian place for “looks dissection”. It is both a repository and moulder of zeitgeist. You have the ability to set tone and define meaning. You must surely be aware of this influence. Please do not waste it canonising wanton consumption and wannabe false idols.I am assuming you care about the legacy this blog leaves behind. Defender of the status quo, catalog for the 1%, PR mouthpiece for mindless consumerism is not what you are aiming for I hope.
Bag lady look…nice!
the makeup is so off. yes, we know the bags are expensive and exclusive, but tacky and crass to carry two of them. flapper hairdo gone wrong. only the outfit looks great.
Her face looks… different?
Not sure I like the dress beyond the vintage tag. Like the black bag — but I don’t see her carrying two?
Oh this is a killer look! The dress, the hair, the bag(s).
This is so Natasha from the 2010s and we’re not complaining.
The Natasha of 2010 did not look like this or dress like this
I think carrying the two bags is a bit silly.
Much silly… Can’t believe it’s being appreciated!
The society lady trope is very much alive. The wealth to array oneself in the West’s Best TM* and make it to the Society pages. Not very different from maharanis, who wore saris but it was French chiffon and Western jewels. Simultaneously admired and also palatable to Western tastes.
*I use the term best loosely for we are conditioned to accept this as excellent and aspirational even if textiles and tailoring in the East can be superior.
And yes nothing in the bags seems hatke or classic or whatever.
sorry but are you praising or criticising her look? it’s not clear. The comparison to maharanis etc just seems unnecessarily catty. I mean she has loads of money so her clothes will naturally reflect that. and given she lives mostly in london so her ‘westernising’ herself also seems like a silly critique.
Not sure what you mean. It was a critique of her clothes obviously. It doesn’t matter if she lives in the West, my point was almost all the elite gravitate towards the same labels and Western clothes as status markers regardless of actual quality.
What is so catty about Maharanis?! They might seem aesthetic to us but most did nothing but spend loads of money in London and Paris and being feted as style icons.
TLDR Sometimes one gets fed up of ordinary stuff being praised and the women wearing it being praised for it.
All for catty Maharanis, many still parading in chiffon curtains and platformed by Architecture Digest or, worse, they open their own media channels ie see Robb Report. Boring pearls and don’t forget the peach lipstick or never bitchy red
well, that was the world they were born into so they’re embracing it pearls et al. I
i’m no fan of the style myself but the way you make it out to be is that them doing so is akin to a crime against society. style varies and naturally reflects one’s upbringing so when they were literally to the manor born, aren’t the chiffon sarees, peach lipstick and pearls in their style dna?? So is flaunting that such a bad thing??
it’s not harming anyone so no need to hate so intensely!
i hardly think nat p or the maharanis are the first of their kind to shop in london/paris and be feted as style icons. it’s their lifestyle and the world they belong to so naturally their style will reflect that. if you don’t like the actual clothes she’s wearing, that critique is valid. but if you’re hating on her because she has money, has spent it and her clothes reflect it then isn’t this kind of the wrong blog for you?!
This look seems to be copy of Zendaya’s look for “The drama” promotion
She looks glam, like a production house boss.
Very interesting look I agree, and she slays the dress. Iffy about the hair though which feel unnecessarily ages her. And on the fence about the handbag, I dont get the (style) point 🙂
Ah man.. the whole look ages her. Nothing aligns with anything and its a mish mash. Usually the ‘Natasha’ brand helps pull it all together bit not in this case.
Is it the eye makeup.. she looks tired, haggard… she has the bod to carry such dresses and she does a good job… one bag or two bag.. how does it matter .. she has brought the quaint look with her dress, hair style very well.
she looks tired and possibly bored. outfit, bags, hair doing nothing for her
I don’t agree- the golden highlight vs the silver dress don’t go!!
The makeup ages her!!
And 2 bags??? WHY??
Very ‘Look at me I am rich’ wala look!!
So much money and still no natural sense of style or aesthetic!!!
Ewwwwwww..
Why is she orange? I don’t understand why would an already brown person get a fake tan? You just end up looking grimy.
