Yesterday, The Duchess of Sussex, Royal patron of the National Theatre, visited the Immersive Storytelling Studio in London, where emerging technology like Virtual Reality is being used to develop new forms of emotive storytelling. Recently, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also visited Stanford University where part of their learning journey included a virtual reality presentation that allows the user to experience life through another person’s point of view. The goal of this method of virtual reality is to enable us to better connect and empathise with each other as people, regardless of race, age or nationality.

Fitting right into the season’s shoe jewelry trend, the stilettos boast elegant straps covered with eye-catching pearls. Other labels including Bottega Veneta, Casadei and Sergio Rossi have also looked to the jewelry realm in recent seasons, incorporating details such as chains and crystals into their footwear.

The “Suits” star completed her look with a black handbag, which appeared to be from Loewe.
