Supermodel Court Appearance by Videolink

Sadly, we don't all live in a multi-million listed country farmhouse. Top designers to call on as friends. With a three grand jacket happily on hand.

Then neither are we likely to be called as witness for a $100m defamation trial.

I sense we may each have somewhere dear currently enrapt devouring the ongoing Depp v Heard super-case.

The press clamour around brief testimony from supermodel Kate Moss blanketed the mainstream.

It defies logic that her appearance was uncurated.

For it looks an exercise in studied understatement.

Starting with the perfect deployment of spotlighting, camera height and seating depth. Surely impossible to fluke all three so well.

Then consider how her rural idyll Cotswolds 'des res' boasts many a glamourous room. Yet the setting selected for court is not overtly one of them.

As seen in the widely shared snapshot of the proceedings above, it may be a corner of a rarely used scullery space.

The 'expert' cited, 'tv personality' Robert Verdi.

Her 'toned-down' beauty look also featured pairing the shawl collar jacket with a polka-dot pussy-bow blouse with bow left undone, helping her to look more 'easy and casual' and coupling 'authentic' with 'authority'.

In addition, 'the black and white colour combo was smart because when there’s an absence of colour it makes you look at the person’s face'. Who knew?

Perhaps another layer of tips for crafting our own onscreen 'cell'.
