Military Green Dress and Hat, Central Park Conservancy
Love how this flattering “drab” green color has transcended military looks and become a new neutral, here in a beautifully tailored sheath dress and hat with a green satin bow. It’s especially smart when paired with red gloves and bag.
Eric Javits Hats, Central Park Conservancy
Love this look in vivid greens and blues on this pair at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon. The straw hats are both Eric Javits.
Cream Colored Suit and Hat, Central Park Conservancy
The few men who attended the Central Park Conservancy luncheon last week dressed the part, like this guest in a beautiful cream colored suit and hat with a pale pink tie and pink pocket square. He’s carrying his dress shoes in that plastic bag – a practical choice on a rainy day.
All Black, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
No matter what the season, occasion or current fashion, New Yorkers will wear black. It still confers instant elegance on the wearer, as with this guest at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon last week, in black from head to toe.
Slideshow: Best Hats, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
We may not have a royal wedding here in New York, but we do have the this ladies luncheon in Central Park, which brings out hundreds of women in elaborate hats every year. Here are some of the best.
Fe Fendi at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
Fe Fendi arrived at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon in a bright red silk dress with laser cut scalloped ruffles, matching umbrella and red flower fascinator. It was a beautiful splash of color in the rain.
Alessandra Bush at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
Alessandra Bush arrived at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon looking chic in classic black and white, including a sheer black hat adorned with feathers and rosettes, a black feather skirt and pearls.
Sandra Lee at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
New York’s new first lady of sorts, Governor Andrew Cuomo’s girlfriend Sandra Lee, exited a limo wearing white and a towering hat in the shape of huge pale flower. Though controversial in the food world, she’s quite a hit fashion wise. Full shot after the jump. (more…)
Lady in Yellow, Central Park Conservancy Luncheon
The weather may not have been cooperating, but that didn’t stop hundreds of fashionable ladies from attending the annual Central Park Conservancy Luncheon this morning. Traditionally, the outdoor luncheon calls for hats, a sartorial choice that seemed to be embraced with even more fervor this year on the heels of the royal wedding.
Most New Yorkers would be tempted to put on all black clothing in dreary weather, but not here. The women arrived in colorful suits and dresses, like this lady in a bright yellow suit, green bag and umbrella and a headpiece of flowers and red, gold and green ribbon.
Addendum: She is Central Park supporter Virginia Redfield
Women and Men in Hats, Easter Parade
From the bespoke to the cartoonish, there were lots of hats at yesterday’s Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue, where the clouds suddenly parted and we were treated to brilliant sunshine for a few hours. Above, on the way to the parade in a hat festooned with Peeps and jellybeans. More hats on men and women after the jump. (more…)
Fox-Print Dress and Wide-Brimmed Hat, Outside Prabal Gurung
Another great interpretation of 70s redux. Love the floppy wide-brimmed hat, and the fox print on this dress is like something out of The Ice Storm. But topping the whole look off with fuchsia lipstick puts it firmly in spring 2011.
Addendum: The dress is Opening Ceremony X Deyrolle.
7 Days of Anna Dello Russo
Rarely do you see anyone have as much fun with fashion as Anna Dello Russo. Just when we thought she couldn’t top the last outrageously fashionable outfit during Paris fashion week, she would arrive in a completely different ensemble, having gone back to the hotel to change between shows. She favors designers from her native Italy and doesn’t shy from color or pattern. I can’t imagine how she packs the variety of headpieces, boots, suits, furs, jewels and dresses it takes for a single week, but I picture a couple of Louis Vuitton steamer trunks in her hotel room. Hats off to this over-the-top fashion plate who radiates chic sunshine wherever she goes. A seven-day roundup, after the jump. (more…)
Man in a Plastic Chapeau, Costume National
This outfit is not for the faint of heart, but I found it utterly fascinating. He kind of looks like a young Prince (the artist known as) in a dramatic clear plastic hat, the white shirt tufted with roses, vintage bag and oversize stopwatch. Gender-bending genius.
Navy Blue With Polka Dots, Outside Louis Vuitton
Such a cute retro look, again in navy, with a below-the-knee pleated wool crepe skirt and jacket, accessorized with a white cap and navy envelope pouch at the belt. The polka dot blouse is also a nod to Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs, who featured polka dots prominently in his namesake fall collection in New York.
Pink Hat and Fur Coat, Outside Lanvin
First off, the hat is great. How often do you see this wide-brimmed Australia outback style hat in the color pink? And paired with this embellished shaggy fur coat, leggings and ’50s style heels, the whole thing cuts a beautiful silhouette. She’s about to ride off into the Paris fashion week sunset. (more…)
