Out of the Box: Look of the Week

13 Oct

Film festival season continues and we are definitely in fall fashion territory with outerwear and lots of long sleeves. Patterns dominate and the Thor premiere was a delightful display of sartorial fun.

It is also time for the annual “Women in Hollywood” issue of Elle and in a week that has been tough when it comes to writing about this industry—because of the endless harrowing tales of sexual harassment relating to, but not just limited to Harvey Weinstein—these covers are a welcome sight.  The Thor: Ragnarok premiere was a sparkly clothes delight and Jeff Goldblum once again gave great shirt; switching pattern for a silver number to go with his silver fox vibes. Hard swoon. Tessa Thompson is being touted as the MVP of the new Thor and she was a rainbow pleats knockout at the Emmys. Here she keeps up the colorful gown theme in a glorious marigold Schiaparelli gown.Cate Blanchett looks like she is concocting a grand scheme and then is going to throw a martini in someone’s face in gold sequin Gucci. This is enough sparkle to overwhelm, but this being Cate she can and does pull it off.
The Fug Girls asked if “preppy Star Trek is a thing?” and sign me up if it is. I love the ’70s athleisure look of the new series (which I need to catch up on) and I am here for Saoirse Ronan at the On Chesil Beach LFF premiere in this Alessandra Rich dress too.Holy sophistication! Kristin Scott Thomas ticks the turtleneck and mustard coat casually slung over her shoulders boxes at the LFF premiere for The Party. Everything about this is perfect for a fall fancy event.Heritage patterns are on trend and Greta Gerwig’s Ralph Lauren Collection frock in Prince of Wales check is fit for an evening in the English country and the New York Film Festival. I’ve probably already said it numerous times, but I am so excited for Lady Bird.A T-shirt can say a lot and at Glamour’s “The Girl Project” event Yara Shahidi has an important message to deliver on the International Day of the Girl. This shirt is available from Hstry and comes in both short and long sleeve versions at a super affordable price. It also looks like the kind of shirt that could make an appearance on Insecure.I just read a profile of The Vampire’s Wife co-creator Susie Cave in British Vogue and this is a brand I am head over heels in love with. Ruth Negga, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elisabeth Moss, January Jones and now Rachel Weisz at the New Yorker Festival have worn these super pretty frocks with signature frilled sleeves. Also at the New Yorker Festival is Tracee Ellis Ross in a fabulous floral Valentino jumpsuit. I love how much fun Ross has with fashion.

And it isn’t all big designer brands for Tracee Ellis Ross; this polka dot frock is from JCPenney and is part of Ross’ capsule line. Available from November 12 and everything is under the $75 mark. So many amazing women gracing the cover of Elle this month including one of the women of the year and a TV Ate My Wardrobe fave; Queen Laura Dern.
The icon levels are high and this Cicely Tyson cover is like a breath of fresh air because age is not and should not be a factor when a fashion magazine picks their cover stars. Take note, Vogue.

Best of InStyle and Entertainment Weekly TIFF Party Red Carpet

11 Sep

As mentioned in last week’s “Out of the Box” there is A LOT going on right now in terms of fashion — film festivals, NYFW, fall TV and the Emmys — and this calls for a Monday morning TIFF party showcase. And because fall is here, bold color and patterns that dominated the summer are a tad muted. But there will always be floral.

To kick-start this week, we’ve got a rundown of our favorite looks from the HFPA & InStyle TIFF Party and Entertainment Weekly’s Must List shindig. A playful spin on the ladysuit from Evan Rachel Wood in pinstripe Dolce & Gabbana with floral lapels and accents. Looking forward to seeing what she will be wearing on Sunday at the Emmys. Tatiana Maslany won the Emmy last year for Best Actress in a drama series and while Orphan Black was not eligible, there is still plenty of Maslany to look forward to as her performance in Stronger is getting quite the buzz.

I am a fan of Maslany’s red carpet approach and she crushes both fancy and the more casual approach.

At the InStyle party she opted for the latter and this look is the most ’90s. Yes, I love it. For more Maslany sartorial triumphs with bonus Jake check head here and there will be more later in the week. Serving up power shoulder goals in Saint Laurent Fall 2017 and Margot Robbie looks like she is playing the villain in an ’80s drama. Drinks will be thrown.And Emma Stone is giving some witchy vibes — much to my joy — in Chloe Resort 2018. Just add a berry lipstick.Imogen Poots in an iridescent dream of a frock and this is giving me so many retro space age feelings. The most Nicole Kidman look in a beautiful embroidered Valentino and if it ain’t broke…Frances Ha was my favorite film of 2012 and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for Lady Birdif you follow me on Twitter you will already know.

Giving great floral ladysuit is Laurie Metcalf and Greta Gerwig’s Sophie Theallet frock looks like fancy wallpaper I’m decorating my imaginary drawing room with. Tracy Letts sadly switched this tee for a button-down.Idris Elba put a bird on it in Bruta and move over flamingos as ducks are what I want on my clothes right now. Idris as always, looks amazing.Also, Jake got to meet Idris and this is delightful. Someone make a movie with them as the leads. Please and thank you.The best hangout that I will never get invited to.
