Fashion designer Stella McCartney (51) was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) last Tuesday. The British Order of Merit was awarded to the daughter of Paul McCartney (80) at Windsor Castle. She is honored to be honored by His Majesty King Charles III.

Look in the name of sustainability and animal welfare
For the special occasion, the fashion designer wore a tailored navy blue dress made from regenerated wool, most of which comes from surplus textile factories, according to the Instagram post. McCartney combined it with satin pumps and a cruelty-free clutch. Both parts are completely vegan. The bespoke lace veil that fell over the designer’s eyes was also by British milliner Emily-London Headwear.
In 2013, McCartney was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) by the late Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022). The members of the Order of the British Empire are divided into five levels.
