Vice President Kamala Harris‘ niece Meena has become the latest star to step out in an emerald green gown from cult label The Vampire’s Wife, after Kate Middleton and Princess Beatrice wore the gown.
The mother-of-two and lawyer, 36, shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram stories as she wore the £1595 metallic midi dress ahead of the Celebrating America event on Wednesday.
Meena appeared to have looked across the pond for her fashion inspiration because her ensemble was almost identical to a green dress from the same designer that Kate Middleton, 39, and Princess Beatrice, 31, have previously been snapped in.
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White told FEMAIL the gown had become an instant classic for celebrities and royals alike, explaining: ‘I think that the dress has been a go too for celebs because it is easy to wear, but has maximum impact.

‘It has a disruptive look and quality to the design of it.’
She continued to say that many were adopting the dress because of its versatility, saying: ‘It is suitable for many events and everyday wear and can be worn for different seasons.’
Meanwhile the stylist explained that the styling could alter the formality of the dress, revealing: ‘Depending on the style, colour and texture, it could be seen as demure, outrageous, seductive and heading turning, with each dress being a unique statement.
‘Because of it’s design it has such universal appeal which is classic, trendy and chic.’

Both dresses are crafted in a stunning lame material, a cinched in waist and frilly cuffs.
In December, Holly Willoughby stepped out in a bright red version of The Falconetti as she presented This Morning in December.
