The words “timeless” and “elegant” were being thrown around a lot in Milan, especially the first few days of the collections. And we admit that when we think of Milan, home of Versace and Roberto Cavalli, those aren’t the immediate words that come to mind. Until now.
Now comes the fun part!
After a long night of staying up way way past our bedtimes laughing, crying, singing, and yawning along with the 85th annual Academy Awards, we’ve scoured the far reaches of Getty Images to bring you our picks for best and worst dressed.
During last night’s Oscars red carpet, we were on the lookout for any fashion choices absurd enough to turn into memes.
While Anne Hathaway’s Prada look wasn’t quite on the same level of ridiculousness as Angelina Jolie’s right leg circa 2012, something definitely…stuck out.
When Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway showed up in Prada to last night’s Academy Awards ceremony, fashion followers were a bit surprised. Valentino is Hathaway’s preferred red carpet designer (Mr. Valentino also designed Hathaway’s wedding dress) and a press release had been sent out earlier in the day stating Hathaway would be wearing one of the house’s couture dresses.
According to our sources, Hathaway was indeed slated to wear Valentino. That is, until yesterday, when she saw Amanda Seyfried’s Alexander McQueen lace gown…
This is it: The most important of all the red carpets, the Oscars red carpet. And we’ll be documenting every bit of it. Check back here all night to see what all the stars are wearing.
Ciao bellas! Now that Milan is in full swing, check out some of our favorite looks. The European shows never disappoint beauty-wise, and this season is no exception so far. From the Fendi fur-hawks to Prada‘s drenched damsels, click through to see what’s going on backstage in Italy this week.
You never know what you’re going to get with Miuccia Prada. I mean this is the woman who made plain nylon bags–and massive Geisha-inspired platforms–a thing. Prada is the rare designer who can dart between over-the-top editorial-bait (see: Spring 2013, Spring 2010), and understated, quiet luxury without ever seeming like she’s lost her way. For fall 2013, she went with the latter: A moody, yet surprisingly wearable, collection.
Everything from the slightly unsettling shadow play moving on the walls–a cat’s tail swishing, fans slowly turning, and a woman posing as if for a mirror–to the suspenseful music set the tone for darkly cinematic collection.
Vogue Ukraine’s editor-in-chief, Masha Tsukanova, told us that we could expect her first-ever issue of the glossy to be “part glamour, part rock n’ roll, and part casual.” Judging by the cover, we’d say she nailed it.
Season after season, Miuccia Prada sends clothing down the runway that looks nothing like what everyone else is doing (who could forget those geta shoes?). You never want to miss a Prada show–and you don’t have to! We’re live streaming it today, at noon EST, right here.
Check out the runway everyone is sure to be talking about:
Ladies love (cool) Michael Kors. The mega-designer and much-missed Project Runway judge beat out Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch as the most sought-after American fashion brand on the Internet. {WWD}
How much cheddar do models actually make? And no–we aren’t talking Gisele. Hard facts this way… {Refinery29}
Ok, now we are talking Gisele: Watch the supermodel mama look gorgeous and glowy as ever in this teaser for her new Chanel beauty campaign. {Grazia}
T Magazine’s new editor Deborah Needleman says she’ll try to include more people of color in future issues (there was one in her first), but what the hey? Good journalism is more important than ethnicities anyway! {NY Times}
Marc Jacobs usually prefers a kilt or a sheer lacy dress for events, but he switched it up this season by wearing PJs for his runway finale walks. This did not go unnoticed by Vogue‘s Andre Leon Talley, himself a proponent of comfortable luxury.
A discussion between Talley and Jacobs on the awesomeness of pajamas follows which is… awesome.
