Street Chic: Beating the Heat in Paris
This incredibly hot weather is reminding me of something unexpected: last October in Paris, when temperatures soared into the 90s. Nevertheless the stylish women of Paris fashion week managed to looked pulled together and professional while going to the shows. Stylist Barbara Martello kept cool in a flared skirt and black silk tank top. Sexy shoes – not flip flops – make a barely-there outfit more formal in crazy heat.

Floral Frock, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
A floral frock looks so elegant for a daytime summer party. At the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, this guest paired hers with the traditional wide-brimmed hat and nude peep-toe shoes. Why are nude shoes the trend that never ends? Because they make your legs look never-ending.

Polo Street Chic: House Photographer in All White
Here’s another Gatsby-esque look for you: the house photographer of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in a white dress and brown oxfords. Also love the boater hat as a substitute for the ubiquitous straw fedora. Expect 1920s chic to reign this summer as we near the release of The Great Gatsby.

White Dress and Fedora, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
An ivory silk dress and fedora channels the Great Gatsby at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. And about that fedora: D. and I have an ongoing argument about whether they are out of style. But the answer seems to be that they will never go out of style. They have been adopted into the canon of American fashion as surely as the polo shirt.

Tabitha Simmons and Karen Elson in Proenza Schouler, 2012 CFDA Awards
Tabitha Simmons’ shoes have become a big favorite for celebs walking the red carpet, so it’s no surprise that the designer herself looked perfectly at ease in the same environment. The designer and former model, who won the Swarovski award for accessory design, wore a Proenza Schouler jacket and dress and shoes of her own design, as did model Karen Elson, in a green Proenza Schouler ensemble. These were two of my favorite red carpet looks of the night – elegant but daring.

Natalie Joos in Cavalli, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
The beautiful Natalie Joos attended Saturday’s Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in a white Cavalli dress and Chloe shoes. Love the easy elegance of this look.

Tomato Red Maxi Skirt, Parsons MFA
A brightly colored, sheer maxi skirt like this one from Topshop goes easily from daytime to an after-work party. Anna, a guest at the Parsons First Eighteen exhibit, paired it with simple black and white on top, but the suede platform sandals add another pop of color.

Leopard Print Jumpsuit, Outside Haider Ackermann
Loved this abstract leopard print jumpsuit outside the Haider Ackermann show in Paris. She’s taking a lot of fashion risks, and it all pays off. The red platforms and oversize sunglasses balance out this big pattern so the focus is still on the girl, not just her clothes.

Phil Oh and Susie Lau at Rochas
These two friends are of one mind when it comes to color: the more, the better! Both Phil Oh of Street Peeper and Susie Lau of Style Bubble are masters at colorblocking. Neither outfit is too clashy though: note that the colors repeat in variations of purple on him and green on her.

Sequins for Daytime, Outside Jil Sander
This fun, transitional look outside the Jil Sander show could easily go from day to night – especially if you work in fashion. The sequins give it bling; the oversized sweater keeps it all down to earth. The one punch of color? Her blue suede shoes.

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.

Ursina Gysi at Alexander Wang
Pet peeve: I hate black puffer jackets, even though I own one. This winter in New York it was black puffer jacket after black puffer jacket on the streets, with very little color in between. I stood out in the cold shivering for hours (admittedly, sometimes in my black puffer jacket), praying to photograph something, anything other than a black puffer jacket! But stylist Ursina Gysi shows how to take an ever-present trend and make it your own. The beautiful silver tone and athletic jacket collar make this puffer stand out from the crowd. With a white lace dress, saturated blue bag and graphic black and white booties, the whole look is refreshingly cool and unexpected.

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.

Caroline Issa at Viktor & Rolf
Tank Magazine founder Caroline Issa arrived at the Viktor & Rolf show in a beautiful two-tone lace trench, striped sweater, leather leggings and Louis Vuitton SS2012 multi strap silver pumps. A close-up of those fabulous shoes, after the jump. (more…)

Hanneli Mustaparta at Miu Miu
Photo blogger Hanneli wore an Acne skirt and jacket in white leather to the Miu Miu show with blue gingham Miu Miu earrings, white Miu Miu platforms and a blue Valentino bag. The adorable fuzzy baby blue socks were actually knit for her by her boyfriend’s mom.
Though the outfit looks very spring-y, it’s actually quite warm thanks to Hanneli’s Norwegian know-how. Underneath that leather jacket? Several wool layers!
