The shoes Rebecca Harding has worn to death – and what she'll buy next
Any go-to jewellery? I've never been a huge jewellery person, but my engagement ring is a staple. It's an emerald cut diamond set in platinum that Andy [Lee, her fiance] designed. I also wear a Jaeger-LeCoultre 'Reverso' watch and an Oura smart ring. Loading Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? When I was four, I was obsessed with a little navy-blue check dress with red hearts on the skirt and puff sleeves. What was your first fashion moment? Playing dress-ups in my grandma's wardrobe as a child. She travelled a lot and collected pieces from all over the world. My sister and I would play around with the silk headscarves, furs, Italian leather – it was a treasure trove. And your worst fashion mistake? A few years ago, I wore a pair of Christian Louboutin 'So Kate' stilettos for a full-day event and lost feeling in my foot for about a month afterwards. I haven't worn them since. I tried to resell them, but I think everyone's got the memo. What shoes do you wear most often? A pair of Hermes 'Chypre' shearling slides that have been worn to death. I can't repurchase them because they're always sold out. What's on your wish list? Dries Van Noten '70s-style suede sneakers. Is there something you would never wear? Never say never. I would've said skinny jeans, but they're making a comeback. I love the look of them with a tall, flat riding boot – I just haven't found the right pair yet. Is there a current trend you like? I'm loving that boho is back – the paisley prints and floaty dresses. Chloe's winter 2025 show was so beautiful, and we haven't really played in that sort of style for a few years. Who's your favourite fashion icon? I'm loving Daisy Edgar-Jones' vibe. In fact, I was almost convinced to cut a fringe. What do you wear on a typical working day? If I'm in the office it'll be jeans, oversized white shirt with a fun lacy bra underneath and 'Tabi' ballet flats. What's your favourite off-duty, casual Sunday look? I'll be in a Skims tracksuit, walking our dog Henrietta and going for breakfast with Andy.
