Vivienne Westwood no more: Here are some of the designer’s most iconic looks

Throughout her long career, Westwood — who was also a climate activist — worked closely with and dressed several stars and brought into the mainstream ‘modern punk’ and ‘new-wave fashion’.

We looked back on some of her iconic looks, starting with Sarah Jessica Parker’s wedding gown in the first film instalment of ‘Sex and the City‘, wherein Carrie Bradshaw was slated to marry Mr Big, but (spoiler alert) was left at the altar when the groom got cold feet.

Earlier this year, Parker was spotted filming for ‘And Just Like That‘ season 2, once again wearing the iconic Westwood gown from her 2008 movie. Besides the dress itself, Parker also wore the memorable ‘bird’ on her head.

Westwood herself, when receiving an ‘OBE’ (Order of the British Empire) by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1992, wore a “perfectly-tailored skirt suit with a grey matching hat”. Back then, the attire had created quite a frenzy for she was photographed without her knickers underneath. She was quoted as saying about the controversial pictures, “I wished to show off my outfit by twirling the skirt. It did not occur to me that, as the photographers were practically on their knees, the result would be more glamorous than I expected.”

While digging through her old looks, one Twitter user pointed out how Westwood had once appeared on the cover of the April 1989 issue of British magazine ‘Tatler‘ dressed as the then prime minister of the UK, Margaret Thatcher.

Westwood had also once dressed ‘Baywatch‘ actor Pamela Anderson in one of her signature corsets. The designer reportedly reimagined the corset as an empowering piece, transforming it from inner-wear to outerwear.

Many actors such as Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya have been seen wearing her designs…

Priyanka Chopra, in 2018, had turned up in a classic Westwood attire for good friend Meghan Markle’s wedding with Prince Harry in the UK. The look comprised a lilac suit and Philip Treacy hat with Lorraine Schwartz’s lightning-bolt earrings.

Here are some other fashionable moments created by the designer:

Westwood will continue to live on through her clothes and her legacy.
