Pop sensation Celestina Warbeck shows off some ankle after a breeze catches her modern, flowing robes at the Wizard Gramophone Awards, where she won an award for her number one hit single, “Unicorn Blood,” a love song with dark undertones.
“‘This season’s look is romantic, respectful, and so simple it might be mistaken for a Muggle,’ says well-known couturier Twyla Twilfit, ‘With the glorious defeat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at the hands of dear little Harry Potter now fully behind us, even witches who have lost loved ones should feel free to break mourning robes, provided they eschew bold reds and brighter shades, and opt for more traditional tones.’
Already, well-known wizards and witches seem to be heeding this advice, with such luminaries as Celestina Warbeck stunning us at the Ministry Memorial Service in robes of jet and deepest green; Mrs. Malfoy’s marvelously simple veil of midnight blue, perfectly befitting a witch who has just seen her unjustly-maligned husband exonerated; and up-and-coming author and adventurer Gilderoy Lockhart’s turn at the Potter Remembrance Ceremony in a magnificent grey and aubergine cloak.
However, Twilfit warns against too much flamboyance.
‘Absolutely no frippery when it comes to headgear,’ she cautions, ‘Just the simple peaked cap will do, and avoid dark cloaks or face-coverings, which will result in revolting recollections among anyone one meets. And accessories should be timeless — dig your signet rings and lockets out from your Gringotts vaults, but avoid silvery or serpentine treasures, which are in poor taste so soon, and produce abysmal associations.’”
