Chloë Sevingny for Opening Ceremony

Actress turn designer Chloë Sevingny continues her work at Opening Ceremony after her highly successful seasons. Sevingny might be successful as a fashion designer but that may be for her sense of adventurous style that catches any fashion goer’s eye. This time around she opted to not hold a showroom presentation but a full on runway show where her fashion friends like Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez attended. Like I have said before, I’m very skeptical when actors or musicians turn designers but Sevingny does a good job at it, and knows the girl who she is designing for.

Sevingny describes the collection as a “sexy teen dream” but all I saw was Jenny Humphrey (Gossip Girl fan here) going nut for every look that walked down the runway. In a twisted way I liked it, the designer brought an edge to the collection with the leather lace dresses and fun leopard prints. The shoes were another story: pearl studded penny loafers, platform sneakers and strappy heels. The looks were edgy; my favorite was the laced leather skirts and dresses that I haven’t seen in any recent collection, let alone a resort collection. There is a downtown girl in Sevingy and she wants to share it with the world with a punk look and badass attitude.

Best Dressed?

I’m always iffy on who would I consider best dressed at award shows. It usually takes a combination of four factors to name a best dressed; style, hair, confidence and overall look. Sunday night I watched the MTV Movie Awards and saw the Hollywood starlets walk down the red carpet showing of what they got. Normally I’m disappointed on the looks because these girls usually don’t even make an effort at these kinds of shows. Let’s just look at Kristen Steward for example; come on we can do better than that even though she was wearing a great Balmain red mini. But this year the girls made the effort and looked amazing! Like Rachel Zoe would say, they shut it down! Like always Blake lively looking amazing, but surprisingly not wearing the usual Chanel or Emilio Pucci, this time around she went for a blue Michael Kors dress with cut pattern on the side. But best dressed went to Emma Stone for really shutting it down in Bottega Veneta, this dress fit the occasion and looked great on her. The hair was flawless; the leather knitted Bottega clutch paired with satin pumps gave her a great overall look. I was pleasantly surprised when she walked the red carpet; I hope she continues to use the same stylist for now on.
