As Madonna's movie W.E. launches, we're taking a look at the style of Wallis Simpson and recreating her elegant 1940s look.
Our very own Brix Smith Start shows you how to stylishly channel the fashion icon who stole a King's heart! From ladylike dresses to chic knee-length skirts, this trend is a style must on the high street right now.
Simpson once said of herself that "I'm nothing to look at so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else", and boy did she manage to do that!
