It’s holiday season and in a recent post, Kate Henshaw appeared in a seasonal look that was simple, Kate Henshaw wore a deep green, long-sleeved gown with a fitted shape that kept the gown streamlined.

The contrast between the rich green dress and the bold red bow gave the outfit a festive mood, adding a balanced effect to her overall appearance. The outfit was styled by Annie O Couture. Rather than layering accessories, it was styled to highlight proportion and colour. The bow was deliberately oversized, positioned boldly at the waist, and balanced perfectly by keeping everything else minimal. Her hair was pulled back neatly and her makeup was simple, leaving a clean and natural effect. Every detail worked harmoniously to create a look that felt put together yet carefully considered.

The second shifts in tone. The shade deepens, with darker tones balancing the patterned panels. The layered cut remains, but the outfit is clean and quiet.
