Opera director Sophie Hunter - wife of actor Benedict Cumberbatch - wearing Wickstead's design at the Venice Film Festival. London-based Kiwi fashion designer Emilia Wickstead has had her creations at two aristocratic weddings and on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival in the past week. Wickstead is famous for dressing such as the Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Meanwhile, theatre and opera director Sophie Hunter — who is married to actor Benedict Cumberbatch — wore a dress called Oceana from the Wickstead's 2022 resort collection on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. Cumberbatch was there for the screening of The Power of the Dog with Kiwi director Jane Campion, who won Best Director at the festival.
