Read our privacy policy Ralph Lauren gave a nod to the Beyonce-inspired cowboy trend for his latest catwalk show, a trend that’s taken off since the release of the star’s Cowboy Carter album in March. Founded in 1967, Ralph Lauren became best known for its famous polo shirt, and the brand has a history of Americana dressing – rooted in America’s cultural heritage, so cowboy-style makes a lot of sense for the latest collection. Of Ralph Lauren’s fashion, she said: “While it’s always current and modern, it still feels nostalgic.” While Scandal star Washington, 47, said: “I think it’s elegance you can count on year after year. “So that’s fashion’s gain and Hollywood’s loss because every time you see a collection, like the one we just saw, you just think he’s seeing a movie and the other thing that always strikes me about Ralph’s collections is that they are so timeless but at the same time they are essentially modern.” American actress Close, 77, who wore a cream double-breasted tailored suit, loved the mix of textures and said: “They all just look wearable, comfortable, simple, beautiful… It was really gorgeous.”
