We are going to continue with the biggest fashion moments of the decade that we have started in the previous article. 

Fashion industry also met a sad event. On February 19th 2019 one of the biggest fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld passed away. He passed away in Paris right in the middle of fashion month just days before was set to send his Fendi Fall 2019 collection down the runway. Ever busy as he planned dozens of shows a year, Lagerfeld always said he would never retire, and this proved true because he gave last-minute instructions to his team from his deathbed.

The Royal wedding dresses. This decade both UK's highest-profile young princes got married, which means two unforgettable wedding dresses. William and Kate got married in 2011 and the now-Duchess of Cambridge had become a style icon while dating the prince, so all eyes were on what she would wear down the aisle. And her ultimate choice? An elegant V-neck gown by Burton for McQueen, along with her long hair worn down. And imagine that Kate still collaborates with the designer on important looks to this day. Seven years later Meghan Markle left an American-Canadian life and married Harry. She also unsurprisingly has become a fashion icon and publications were writing about the "Meghan Markle Effect" and it means that clothing she wears sells out almost immediately. On her wedding day she wore a boatneck Givenchy dress. Both above moments were so massive that it's unsurprising that the designers now have different places on the list of the most famous brands and designers.

Rihanna's 2015 Met Gala look. Ten years ago most people thought of Rihanna as just a music artist but about decade into her career, the Barbados-born musician decided to expand her horizons and take over the fashion world as well. Among one of her best looks totally belongs stunning Swarovski-covered dress that she rendered, but Rihanna truly blew up a year later when she showed up to the Met Gala in a maximalist, yellow gown by Guo Pei. The theme for this year was "China: Through the Looking Glass'' and she totally fulfilled it. She has dominated each Met theme and keeps us guessing about what she will wear next.
