Playing the role of Emma Watson today is Kiernan Shipka.

I love this NEARLY unreservedly, although I could live without the side cut-outs, if possible. I also COVET those shoes.

I SHOULD hate this -- the front looks as if a keyhole and a baby's bib reproduced in the back of a JoAnn's Fabrics -- but I think she looks charming, in spite of myself.

No, thank you.

It's hard to believe this look and Alexa's Fabric Melange are from the same sartorial gene pool.

You guys, it just occurred to me that Juno Temple and Jennifer Lawrence are facially similar. Have we ever seen them in the same room together?

Hey, when you're going to Blenheim Palace, DRESS LIKE IT.

Kitty Spencer is Wills' and Harry's cousin. Her father is Diana's brother Charles, who has seven children with three wives; god bless the soap-y romances of rich British people. She is the eldest -- Tatler REALLY feels I ought to be more interested in her -- and I like this dress on her, though she appears to be having SERIOUS DOUBTS.

Tatler ALSO wants me to care about Amelia Windsor, who is the Duke of Kent's granddaughter and 36th in line to the big job. So she is also one of Wills's and Harry's cousins, but a more distant one than Kitty. She, despite also having been on the cover of Tatler, DOES NOT have her own Wikipedia page, which is horrifying for those of us who like to troll the Wikis of rando quasi-royals for hot gossip. I did learn that her mother is SUPER SMART and a professor (more or less), and her grandmother once threatened to boycott the Royal Box at Wimbledon when she wasn't allowed to bring a particular guest, which was a whole big thing, because her husband (Amelia's grandfather) is a Wimbledon Bigwig. Nothing pleases me more than ridiculous feuds between rich people, which is why I fall down Wikipedia holes so often.

Speaking of cute shoes. HELLO LOVERS.

I'm such a crabby old grandma, but I feel like this would work better if it were a little longer?

Can someone please explain to me how this can both make sense as a throwback to the classic 50s Dior New Look AND feel so 90s?

Riley lost the bet, you guys.
