The recent royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle saw plenty of gorgeous stylish looks and impressive fascinators from the throng of star-studded attendees. One of the most talked-about looks of the day belonged to actress Priyanka Chopra, who arrived in a custom Vivienne Westwood lavender suit featuring a statement asymmetrical neckline.
The tailored First Lady-esque number sported a dramatic structured fold in place of a standard collar, and the bold look has garnered tonnes of attention with its unconventional yet chic silhouette. Accompanied by a draped front on the skirt, the interesting details completely elevated her monochromatic look.
Princess Sofia of Sweden was also present for the nuptials, stealing the show in a one-shoulder yellow gown with a leg slit on one side.
Turning our attention to the Pre-Fall 2018 presentations, it seems like the asymmetrical trend has remained consistent across the board.
