POP-CULTURE NOD: Natalie Dormer as Mrs. Appleyard in Amazon’s six-part remake of the Australian classic, dusting off her dancing shoes for a night of dancing to deep house at Brown Alley in Melbourne.
WEAR IT TO: Hip-hop mogul Diddy’s relaunch of his 1998 iconic Labor Day summer White Party in East Hampton, before changing your color palette and following the series’ reboot to St. Tropez and Beverly Hills.
FIRST READ: A slew of the brand’s signature body-con dresses, featuring hand-stitched crochet lacework and embellishments, exaggerated shoulders, sleeves and corsetry.
BEST LOOK: A Herve Leger-style bandage mini dress in sorbet lemon, featuring a high neckline and embroidery cutouts, teamed with thigh-high lace-up boots in taupe suede and natural makeup.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Intricate handiwork and lace embroidery featured throughout, peep-toe laceup booties, Studio 54-inspired lame handkerchief dresses with chain detailing, mismatched statement earrings and school-style sunhats with picnic-ready white flyaway bands.

OVERHEARD COURTSIDE: “I think 7PM is an appropriate time to enjoy an Aperol Spritz but the question I have is whether it’s sugar-free?”
