Bold asymmetry: The recent trend as seen on Priyanka Chopra and Princess Sofia of Sweden

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.
