Detail of the season
Whether you’re working 100 per cent colour
or an LBD, add texture to a sample silhouette with lace details. Just check out
the lave epaulettes (we’re pretty sure that’s a fashion first) on Blake
Lively trouser suit and the full sleeves and midriff inserts on Angelina
Jolie’s noir column. And can we just pause for a moment to appreciate Mila
Kurnis’s multi-trend triumph…pleats, lace and colour?

Warm-weather leather
Who says you can’t wear leather in the sun?
Take a leaf out of Leigh Lezark’s book and pair a leather pencil skirt
with a crop top; or make life Corinne Bailey Rae and team yours with a
ladylike pussy-bow blouse. It’s all about a bit of vibrant spring styling: a
Breton top (thank you, Olivia Palermo) is always a winner, nude
peep-toes à la Michelle Williams don’t go amiss and bare legs are
an absolute must. Go on – go hell for leather in the sunshine.

Cut out the middle, man
Bikini season is
just around the corner and it’s time to get ab fab. What better inspiration,
then, than this gorgeous crop of midriff-exposing monochrome outfits?
Supermodel Karlie Kloss goes all out in a tummy baring combo, while
fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr opts for subtle crisscross
cutouts. This trend veers from the daring to the demure: hot new starlet Clara
Paget’s body-con number has shades of that safety-pin dress, while Rooney
Mara in her toga-tied jumpsuit and Zoë Kravitz in her caramel combo
both look like butter wouldn’t melt.
