Laverne Cox at the Planned Parenthood Gala 2018
Actress, activist and honoree Laverne Cox wore more bright red to the Planned Parenthood gala earlier this May.
Dramatic Effect: Red Gown and White Bag at the Planned Parenthood Gala 2018
Planned Parenthood held a gala earlier this month, and several guests wore saturated red. This look in particular with a white bag had echoes of the Handmaid’s Tale, with its visually stunning scenes of Margaret Atwood’s handmaids swirling by in identical long red dresses and white caps. Is this what has fashion seeing red this season? The Hello Kitty phone lightens it up.
Processional: Anna Wintour at the Met Gala 2018
Anna Wintour walked from the Mark Hotel down 77th Street on her way to the Met Gala (while other celebrities waited for door-to-door car service, despite the massive traffic jam). The fact that her driver looks like he stepped out of a Renaissance painting only added to her look for theme of this year’s exhibition: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.
Well Suited: Dapper Dan at the New York Times Street Style Relaunch Party at Nordstrom
I photographed this guy at the New York Times Styles Street Style relaunch party at Nordstrom because I thought he was the coolest guy in the room. Then I realized he was Dapper Dan. Definitely the coolest guy in the room!
Step to It: Padma Lakshmi at Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon
Not surprisingly, we saw a lot of pantsuits at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon, where Hillary Clinton spoke, but Padma Lakshmi’s was red hot. (more…)
You *Can* Sit With Us: the “Mean Girls” Cast at Variety’s Power of Women
Cute looks all around on Taylor Louderman, Erika Henningsen, and Ashley Park of Broadway’s “Mean Girls” at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon. Seeing a lot of long chiffon floral dresses already this spring. The starlets were actually quite nice… as far as I know…
Winning: TK Wonder and Cipriana Quann at Variety’s Power of Women Luncheon
So there were a lot of celebs at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon in NYC on Friday – it recognized philanthropic women in the entertainment industry – but these two familiar faces from fashion week were seriously #winning for best spring outfits. If TK Wonder and Cipriana can’t get you inspired for more spring fashion, nothing will!
Karlie Kloss at the Swarovski Times Square Opening
I don’t usually photograph store openings, but I will jump at the chance to photograph Karlie! Some of us still remember when she was just the most up-and-coming model at the shows at New York fashion week (see “you might also like” below). She sported some of the Swarovski baubles at the event, and actually they are quite enviable, especially this oversized and colorful crystal ring. Want.
A few more photos of her full outfit and another glam attendee, Morena Baccarin, after the jump. (more…)
Sofia Richie and Jason Binn at the DuJour Magazine Party, Miami Beach
Sofia Richie arrived at the DuJour Magazine 25th anniversary party in Miami in a black dress with a cool lace-up detail up the side. The magazine’s founder, Jason Binn, escorted her in.
Voguez: Jaden Smith at Louis Vuitton’s Volez Voguez Voyagez NY
Cleo Wade at the 2017 Whitney Gala
The stars align at this time of year, when glittery spring benefit parties intersect with longer daylight hours, allowing us to see some eveningwear trends on the street. At the Whitney Gala and Studio party last night, which raised $5.1M for the museum, artist Cleo Wade wore a long slouchy, long sleeved dress with chunky white heels. The covered-up trend continues, even in eveningwear.
Black and White Newsprint Skirt, Parisian Ball
Another cute look from this weekend’s Parisian Ball on Governor’s Island: this black and white outfit including a newsprint skirt. The hat and faux pearls are fun and hark back to that other big Governor’s Island event, the Jazz Age Lawn Party.
Parisa at H&M
Whenever I go to parties, I’m secretly on the lookout for fashion inspiration from the other guests. Parisa, who works for H&M, mastered the sartorial mix of work and play at the H&M Conscious Collection party last week. The loose, velvet flocked black jacket has a boho flair for evening, but the crisp white blouse and printed pants (both H&M) are perfectly suitable for work. Most importantly: black ankle boots that have a heel but not too high a heel. You want to be able to work the party!
H&M Conscious Collection
Fast fashion: we all love it, but it comes at a price. As fun as it is to snap up new pieces from inexpensive fast fashion retailers just a few months after trends appear on the runway, those old trends have to go somewhere to die. H&M is the first major retailer to not only encourage customers to recycle used clothing with in-store drop boxes but to create a whole line of sustainable clothing, much of it made from recycled materials.
The second collection of H&M Conscious, a line of women’s and men’s clothing made of organic cotton, silk tencel, recycled polyester and tulle, debuted with parties across the U.S. last night, including their NYC flagship. Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley attended and posed gamely with fans who’d lined up for photos with him. Party and clothing photos, after the jump. (more…)
