Dressed for comfort in a lilac tracksuit – but Duchess Claire still has bags of style
ON THE screen she’s used to gowns and tiaras, but in real life a comfy tracksuit and trainers are just the ticket for Claire Foy as she lugs a bulky suitcase to London’s Victoria railway station.
While her lilac sweatshirt and matching bottoms would make an unremarkable choice for most travellers, fashionistas point out her designer shoulder bags single her out.
Even second-hand versions of her Gucci Dome Ophidia suede crossbody bag sell for about €1,200, while her shoulder bag, a Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote in leather and canvas, costs €1,670.
The 38-year-old, who played the Duchess of Argyll in the recent racy BBC TV drama A Very British Scandal, completed the casual look with New Balance trainers and sunglasses.
‘She blended in with the crowd and no one took any notice,’ said an onlooker. ‘But her bags cost a serious amount, even if her tracksuit and trainers probably didn’t.’
The actress, who played the Queen in the first two seris of The Crown, shuns social media and gives only glimpses of her life in rare interviews.
She is set to star in the upcoming film
Women Talking.
