    Roll

    Looking like the Great Profile of the Barrymore era, Fassbender tosses the dice. Vodianova’s Oscar de la Renta color-blocked silk dress ($2,150; neimanmarcus.com) is a perfect example of the season’s intriguing pieced-together effect (rather like that of the robot in Metropolis).

Falke tights.
