Sarah Jessica Parker sure loves her Nicholas Kirkwood suede platform sandalsshe’s worn the statement shoes three times in a single week. But she’s managed to avoid looking like a fashion rerun: Instead, the Sex and The City 2 star deftly worked the vibrant heels into a trio of distinctly different looks. First, she wore a hot pink and blue pair with a pouf-skirted Proenza Schouler dress in Central Park; then she used the all-blue version to add a pop of color to her gothic Elie Saab frock at the SATC2 premiere after-party. The next day, the blue Kirkwoods made yet another appearance outside Late Night with David Letterman, where they added eclectic flair to her sophisticated ivory blazer and zebra print Blumarine dress. It’s no wonder that SJP can’t get enough of the stunning shoes—they catch our eye every single time.

Supermodel Iman has been turning heads since hitting the high fashion scene in the late ’70s, so it’s no surprise the CFDA is naming her Fashion Icon at its annual awards ceremony on June 7th. From her flair for the exotic to her effortless red carpet turns, the Somalian beauty, who graced the runway for Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier and Yves Saint Laurent before founding a successful global beauty company, proves that great style comes naturally. “When I was modeling, you have to wear whatever they ask you to,” she told WWD. “When I stopped, I started wearing silhouettes that really work for me. I love palazzo pants, dresses that are feminine and all that.” Along with the CFDA honor, Iman also got a tribute from Barneys New York, who dedicated their windows to the model’s iconic style.

It’s official: The formerly-dowdy tea-length dress is having a chic revival, thanks to Marc Jacobs’ ladylike designs for Louis Vuitton and stylish celebrity fans such as Gemma Arterton, Alexa Chung, and Kirsten Dunst. All three stars chose skirts or dresses that hit their mid-calves, straight from the Fall 2010 Runway, for the launch of the Louis Vuitton Bond Street Maison in London last night, and on them the retro silhouette looked anything but old. They key to keeping this shape looking fresh and youthful rather than frumpy? Highlight a slim waist with a voluminous skirt that shows off dainty ankles . . .  and a great pair of killer pumps.

Ladylike Chic at Louis Vuitton Store Launch

May 26, 2010 @ 11:18 am

Elle Macpherson and Gwyneth Paltrow were among the stylish stars at the opening of Louis Vuitton’s Bond Street Maison in London last night. The Australian supermodel opted for a short white shift from Vuitton’s Cruise 2010 collection, which she paired with black satin slingbacks, while the actress chose a tweed keyhole dress from the Cruise 2011 collection, which she paired with feathered peep-toe booties on the red carpet before switching to pink satin pumps for the party (such are the benefits of celebrating in a store). Thandie Newton, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Chung and Kirsten Dunst also made their way through the luxurious tri-level boutique whilst decked out in Vuitton’s latest 1950′s-inspired frocks. The French fashion house’s creative director, Marc Jacobs, summed up the store, and the scene, best: “It’s a monument to luxury and visual stimulation,” he told Vogue UK. “It just goes on and on.”
