Met Gala: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry
Model and Transformers star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley left the Mark Hotel last night en route to the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute gala. The face of Burberry Body, she naturally wore Burberry – a long, beaded bronze and black striped gown with long sleeves. It was such an elegant look, made more so by the classic updo and Irene Neuwirth earrings. And the man on her arm who’s photographing the crowd of photographers? That’s Mario Testino.

Liz Cabral at Rochas
When spring weather turns gloomy, it’s tempting to revert to your fall clothes. This isn’t necessary a bad thing, though, if you pack a graphic punch as Flare editor Liz Cabral does here. Pairing the black motorcycle jacket with a bright red dress keeps it warm but seasonally appropriate – and the snakeskin boots usher in the spring.
Also, that’s a Tommy Ton for Club Monaco bag – big enough to hold a laptop!

Pink Trenchcoat, Outside Dior
This warm weather has me craving color. Here’s one way to wear it that’s both fun and polished: a fuchsia trenchcoat layered over a royal blue dress with a matching hat. Her lipstick also matches the trench exactly, but the shoes are a neutral nude to keep the whole look from going over the top.

Gray Peplum and Gingham Dress, Outside Chanel
One of the coolest things about the peplum on this gingham dress on Delfina Delettrez Fendi outside the Chanel show is that it appears to be completely detachable. Retro style, deconstructed! And I love the bag.
Post amended to include her name

Giovanna Battaglia in Valentino
Giovanna Battaglia wore this khaki and lace Valentino dress to the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan. The faceted black necklace at the collar is not part of the original runway look but her own addition – bellissima!

Denni in Fausto Puglisi
Fashion blogger Denni of Chic Muse posed for us on the tram tracks outside the Dolce & Gabbana show. This was a real fashion risk, mind you, because these are active tracks with huge trams running through every few minutes! Her Fausto Puglisi is also a fashion risk in all the right ways. Love the elaborate beading at the waist and the flared skirt. The bag is vintage Gucci, the shoes Prada.

Anna Dello Russo in Dolce & Gabbana
Several designers did lace for spring 2012, but I love how Dolce & Gabbana’s lace also has appliquéd flowers for that extra push of whimsy. And j’adore Anna Dello Russo in a Dolce & Gabbana blue lace dress en route to the designers’ show. (more…)

Fringed Sweater and Tiger Print Dress, Outside Giambattista Valli
I love the tribal-ness of this outfit – the fringed sleeve of the deconstructed sweater looks like a hank of fur, and the tiger stripes are fierce in their own right. Indeed, preparing for a fashion show is a lot like preparing for battle.

Michelle Harper in Ivory Brocade
Michelle Harper wore a beautiful ivory brocade dress and coat to yesterday’s Viktor & Rolf show in the Tuileries. So timeless and elegant, perfect for Paris. And the gloves! Very Grace Kelly.

Giovanna Battaglia at Emporio Armani
Giovanna Battaglia wore clothes from two Italian designers to their shows this past Saturday in Milan: a beautifully embellished dress by Bottega Veneta, and a classic Armani leather jacket. Bellissima.

Catherine Baba at Lanvin
On the opposite side of the style spectrum is stylist Catherine Baba, who really has a flair for drama. She wore a pale pink silk dress with Chinoiserie accessories: a tassel necklace and earrings and a straw hat for the hot weather. The jewelry looks like Eddie Borgo but the design is slightly different. Baba may be about fashion, but she’s not all about labels.

Lauren Remington-Platt at the Apollo Circle Ball
Last week we photographed the Apollo Circle benefit at the Met Museum for Bloomberg News and got a chance to see lots of gorgeous women in equally gorgeous gowns. Lauren Remington-Platt looked smashing in black and bronze houndstooth.
