Not since Roxy Jacenko turned heads in her head-to-toe designer threads at husband Oliver Curtis’ highly publicised legal battle in 2016 have we seen such curated ensembles for the courtroom.
Before Antoinette Lattouf claimed a win against the ABC in her unfair dismissal claim this week, the radio host made sure she dressed the part.
Chanel, Rebecca Vallance, Farage, Tamara Eason, Shiyo and Jimmy Choo were among designers featured in Lattouf’s wardrobe throughout the legal dispute, which she kicked off with a chic burgundy suit and a $3,150 Louis Vuitton Alma BB handbag.
Her next outfit included $560 black Tom Ford sunglasses, a $2,425 Jimmy Choo cocktail handbag and a $580 white satin Lillian Khallouf Classic Huda shirt.
Lattouf later turned heads in a white $1200 dress also from Khallouf and a $2,425 Jimmy Choo cocktail clutch.
Her final courtroom look on Wednesday featured a tiny Chanel handbag and a $1,399 double-breasted coat with a faux-fur trim from Rebecca Vallance.
As it turns out, there was an expert eye behind it all, Australian-Lebanese stylist Katherine Rizk, who said she wanted to make Lattouf “feel composed, confident yet polished and purposeful”.
“It was a pleasure supporting and styling Antoinette during such a crucial time,” Rizk told Sunday Confidential.
“There was a thoughtful and considered approach to collaborating with brands that genuinely resonated with her and with whom I have strong and trusted relationships, as all items were loaned, a decision that reflected her principles.
“The process was very organic and effortless, which I think was very important given the public attention surrounding her case.”
Lattouf was awarded $70,000 in compensation by the court for non-economic loss, including psychological distress. A chunk of that would have no doubt gone to Rizk for supplying her with the designer ensembles.
