Summer and spring may be over but unfortunately that doesn't mean you've escaped the wrath of pollen and other allergens Spring is long over and now summer is too. End of stinging eyes, itchy nose and constant sneezing, then? Unfortunately not. When autumn arrives there are of course many, many things to look forward to: long Sundays spent in the pub by a roaring fire; crisp, golden leaves and roast dinners but sadly, unbeknown to many, this season also comes with its own set of allergies.

Eva Longoria looked like a beautiful chandelier at the 2024 Oscars after-party. The Flamin’ Hot director glowed on the red carpet of Vanity Fair’s star-studded bash in a metallic gold gown by Tamara Ralph that looked like both armor and a piece of priceless jewelry. The hourglass dress was crafted from reflective golden plates aligned in a herringbone-like pattern, and further embellished with dangly copper chains and silver crystals clusters all over.

Sarah, Duchess of York's wedding dress designer Lindka Cierach spent months thinking up and executing her stunning bejewelled bridal gown. As well as its show-stopping, 17-foot-long beaded train, which was embroidered with the initials A and S, Sarah's dress also featured a waist-defining corset bodice and long puff sleeves. The royal bride seemed delighted with the finished result, as she flashed a smile when entering Westminster Abbey ahead of her ceremony with her ex-husband Prince Andrew in July 1986.
