Yahoo Lifestyle Camila Cabello Brings Back the Mob Wife Look in Vintage Roberto Cavalli
Fresh off the back of wowing at the BAFTAs on Sunday night in a naked satin dress absolutely *dripping* in jewels, Camila Cabello has only gone and done it again. By which we mean, the songstress followed up her show-stopping red carpet gown with another seriously fire 'fit. So hot, it's taken three days for her to share it.
Yep, the look in question was worn to a BAFTA after-party but somehow managed to go undetected on the night of. We're only now just getting a glimpse as Camila took to her Instagram to share a mirror selfie captured in a bathroom. Our first thoughts upon seeing the snap? The Mob Wife aesthetic is fully making a comeback. And it's all thanks to Camila's dress and accessories.
Don't just take our word for it though, check out her look for yourself:
Wearing a red and gold baroque printed dress, the design featured transparent black lace panels at the bust with eyelet trim, black satin ribbon straps and bow detailing. While the dress was form-fitting throughout the bodice, a voluminous mini skirt formed a bubble-esque hem constructed from layers of ruffled tiers in the same baroque print blended with flashes of leopard print. Sourced from Eden Vintage, an Irish boutique specializing in '90s and '00s designer archival pieces, the dress is from Roberto Cavalli's autumn winter 2004 collection.
Animal print is not only a big spring summer fashion trend, it's also a key signifier of the mob wife aesthetic. As is chunky gold jewelery and religious motifs, with Camila stacking three pendant necklaces, one of which featured a crucifix charm. Aleví Milano black heeled sandals that wrapped all the way up Camila's legs completed the look that was giving girls' night out, mob wife edition.
It's not the only time Camila has worn a vintage dress from the boutique. The see-through embellished cut-out gown she wore to the BAFTA nominees' party ahead of the awards ceremony was another Roberto Cavalli design, this time from the designer's spring summer 2013 collection.
