Feminine tailored looks balanced with relaxed silhouettes create a modern take on Y2K-inspired fashion. She completed the outfit with crystal sandals from Betzabe, which added a touch of sparkle to the ensemble.
The corset came from Vivienne Westwood’s Fall/Winter 1998 “Time Machine” collection. The archival piece featured a dramatic neckline and sculptural design that accentuated Palmer’s figure while serving as the focal point of the dress.
She tied her hair into a sleek braided updo and accessorized with layered jewellery. The polished style allowed vintage items to remain center stage during their presence at the festival.
