I think we need to talk. Don’t think of this as an intervention, but more like a heartfelt girl chat…

The Crown’s long-awaited penultimate season has just been released on Netflix, and you best believe we consumed every drama-filled minute of it. From the post-marital shouting matches, to the now familiar ominous background scoring, counter-culture cuffing season claims another date night alternative slot. Opt out of planning a romantic dinner with your main squeeze in favor of getting your heartstrings pulled out bit by bit with your girlfriends. As the top trending show depicts the painful and mega-publicized separation of the previous Prince and Princess of Wales, one message is clear: in case of your power-couple status reaching a nasty demise, keep your glow-up wardrobe at the ready. 

Take a scroll through some “Revenge Dress” approved outfits that might as well come with an “I’m better off without you” label.

Battle Armor I.e The Power Suit 

Need we say more? Choosing boss wear is the ultimate power move, and with a solid blazer-pant combo or tailored vest, you’ll be ready to take on the world. Feel free to take a page from Kylie Jenner’s iconic Forbes Cover, Katie Holmes and her stunning streetwear, and Kerry Washington working it on our screens as peak alpha-female Olivia Pope.    

Pro Tip: Complete the look with some point-toed pumps. With the height they give you, you’ll be way above that pesky parting gossip.   

Maiden in Manhattan 

My mother used to tell me not to be scared of a break-up as it allows you the chance to rewind the clock and be “young” again. Why she thought this would be a coveted result for a twelve-year-old desperate to be older, I am not sure. Perhaps, like most motherly advice, it was meant to be tucked away for later in life; a piece of the rainy day survival kit. This advice I now bestow upon you, dear readers. Allow this split-up to be the start of a restorative, girlified journey. I am seeing lots of vintage-inspired prairie dresses, and ballet flats for your bright future.     

Range Rover Divorcee 

This is for the “It” girl who cannot be bothered. She has better things to do, and plenty of errands to run; the separation was simply another cross of the list. Throw a back-combed low bun under a baseball cap (What was his rival team again?), and slap on the reliable sporty essentials: leggings, quarter-zip, puffer vest, and comfy athletic kicks. Grab some tinted shades, and an insulated coffee mug because this gal’s outfit is ready to be wheels up, and out the door in a heartbeat. 

She Can Beat Me, But She Cannot Beat My Outfit

Rihanna said it best, so let’s listen to this fashionable queen. Why look like a mess, when you can look glamorous? For the ladies who feel grade A when they are partying it up, feathers and sequins might just be your go-to look. Nothing says leveled-up quite like a glittery number, and some fancy footwear.  

Remember, No One Does It Like The OG 

Make Diana’s infamous LBD the gold standard and shop around for some classic old-money ensembles. With some pearls, and an expensive-looking french twist, people will be shaking their heads wondering how your partner could have fumbled the bag this bad.
