The couture shows kept the fashion set busy in Europe last week. In the front rows were a large number of well-clad celebrities—all of whom came out dressed to impress. The best of the bunch embraced a sense of irreverence, choosing statement garments that looked like they belonged on the runways.
Take Bella Hadid, who attended a Balenciaga dinner in a couture off-the-shoulder, polka-dot top with matching trousers from the fall 2021 collectsion. At Valentino’s couture show in Rome, Anne Hathaway chose to wear all-pink—as did many other attendees, from Florence Pugh to Ariana DeBose—in a new fall 2022 look that consisted of a sequined mini dress, mini bag, and staggering platform heels. Keira Knightley also made her return to the front rows this week at Chanel’s couture show in Paris. She chose a fall 2022 LBD with lace detailing that was timeless, yet completely fresh.
At various screenings for their new film Thor: Love and Thunder, stars Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson each shined on their own. In Rome, Portman chose a vintage Claude Montana skirt suit in a zingy orange, proving a good archival design will never fail to feel modern. For a screening in London, Thompson opted for a golden Oscar de la Renta gown with fringing and corsetry details, looking like the A-lister she is. Keep it coming, Hollywood.
