Looks of the Day: Kim Kardashian & Rihanna

Kim Kardashian and waist-cinching cocktail dresses are as thick as thieves. Her selection at the Valentino store opening on Tuesday, however, veered into slightly new style territory with this full skirt and bowed waist.

It was an unexpected choice, since retro has never been part of the reality star's wardrobe vocabulary, especially not in the form of a '50s silhouette. Perhaps someone has been taking inspiration from Zooey Deschanel's darling style.

You might assume one would wear Valentino to the designer's event, but this abstract striped number was actually from Lela Rose's Fall 2012 collection. Bold move. The rest of Kim's look was nothing new: excessively fluffy false lashes, a pale pink pout, a thick ponytail, diamonds. Hey, why fix what ain't broke?

Rihanna may prefer to romp around pantsless in flame T-shirts and hip-high boots, but it's her ladylike looks that really make us swoon. For the sunny Battleship photocall in London, she proved this point in a silk Alexander Wang dress.

The olive green Pre-Fall design might have looked ordinary on anyone else, but on Rihanna it was so powerful it trumped Brooklyn Decker's risque mesh number. Maybe it's those bold blond locks, the peek-a-boo tattoos or her white talons that make this look so captivating.

Whatever it is, it's working. Looks like the pop star is following her own style mantra, "Wear the clothes. Don't let them wear you."

Fall 2012 :: Preen + Lela Rose + Michael Khors

ImaxTree
Last season, Preen‘s Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi wowed us with their colorful, digitized prints and apparently the designers were content to carry on that theme, because the same sort of abstract, nature-inspired prints were alive and well this season.

The first look came out–a white blouse with an orange stripe, and a vibrant floral skirt–and we had to double check the line sheet to make sure we were indeed seeing a fall collection, and not a spring one. The runway gave way to more digitized florals, and swaths of orange, light green, and cobalt blue. Eventually more winter-appropriate hues made their way onto the runway in the form of graphic, black and white prints, and sweaters with an abstracted leaf print.

Despite the slightly off-season color palette, bold prints, and brazen mish-mash of everything in between, we have to say, the whole thing totally worked. And we’d literally want to wear any of the pieces be it spring, or fall.

Lela Rose proved the beauty of buildings needn't be restricted to concrete and marble with a fresh fall collection rife with geometric patterns. She breathed life into grays and blacks with an abundance of rich rust, mustard and berry hues.

To translate architecture into the accessible pieces she's best known for, Rose focused on using intricate prints on streamlined silhouettes. Sharp sheaths, tailored pantsuits and collarless coats all looked like they'd be right at home on any city streets.

Where Rose unexpectedly shone was in the floor length day dresses she had never before attempted. A dramatic fuchsia design and strapless abstract print gown added major impact to a versatile and truly wearable collection.

Michael Kors opened his Wednesday show with a bang, starting off with a duo of models dressed head-to-toe in bright red ensembles. This season, the all-American designer delivered clothes that exuded a sense of strength and power with graceful ease.

For his fall collection, Kors channeled rugged elegance. He played around with masculine details on ladylike silhouettes—feminine sheath dresses were given a tough-girl edge with leather accents. Textures took center stage in this lineup, with fur, lace and tartan playing central characters.

Being a red-carpet staple, it's no surprise that the standouts from the collection were the evening gowns. The dresses were perfectly crafted, showing off his attention to detail in the drop waists and languid sequins. We're glad to see Kors return to his signature glamorous self, sexy necklines and luxurious fabrics in tow.
