In cool contrast to Roman ruins, the crisp white collar on this dress recalls the decorum of New England—but also the mod attitude of the mid-sixties. Caroline Trentini wears a Polo Ralph Lauren dress, $498; select Ralph Lauren stores. Actor Louis Garrel wears an Agnès B. Homme suit and a Salvatore Ferragamo shirt.

This romantic but graphic heart print recalls the cheeky lip motif that was a hit during the go-go years of Rive Gauche. Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane black-and-red silk minidress with open sleeves ($2,250) and bow-toe patent heels; Saint Laurent, NYC.
Beauty Notes
Give timeless glamour a modern edge with a sexy smudged eye. Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Tuxedo Black is a clever liner/shadow hybrid.
