Blink and you’ll miss it

What with all the drama at the 2017 Oscars (La La Land was wrongly named Best Picture in case you live under a rock), you’d be forgiven for having missed this very important detail on Emma Stone’s dress.

The actress walked the red carpet in a stunning gold beaded Givenchy dress which handily matched the Best Actress statuette she later picked up.

If you look closer, you’ll see a gold pin attached to the front bit, which represents Planned Parenthood.

As you may know, the non-profit organisation provides reproductive health services, including birth control and abortion.

One of the first decisions Donald Trump made as president was to ban funding for healthcare organisations that perform abortion, so Emma’s support is all the more poignant.

She wasn’t the only actress to turn political on the red carpet either, with the likes of Michelle Williams and Ruth Negga sporting the blue American Civil Liberties Union ribbon.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
