Emma Watson at the Golden Globes: Inside her red carpet and after party looks
Whether she’s chopping her locks or wearing Brit-designed mix prints, Emma Watson has become one of our favourite Hollywood risk takers. Her style evolution from awkward teen to slick ingénue was never more present than at last night’s Golden Globe awards, where she wowed the crowd with a Christian Dior dress-over-skirt combo on the red carpet. From the front, Watson’s dress appeared demure—a short-sleeved dress with a high slit. From the back, it revealed cropped cigarette trousers, which she paired with Dior earrings and violet cross-strapped Roger Vivier pumps.

As much as the runway sets the pace for what’s to come for the top Spring 2014 trends, the streets play a major role as show-going trendsetters give us the relatable breakdown of how to wear what’s hot next season. Prints take two spots on our top Spring 2014 trends list through those with a painterly quality and those influenced by international cultures.

Spring 2014 shoes: 55 favourites we’re already itching to get our feet into
Photography by Peter Stigter See our favourite Spring 2014 shoes »
With Paris Fashion Week ending our month long preview of all things Spring 2014, it’s time we gushed over the shoes that accompanied all that we are dying to wear in the coming season.
Femininity reigned supreme on the runway through Balenciaga, Dior and Roland Mouret’s take on the stiletto. Dior’s complexly inter woven straps would make any shoe addict salivate. At Balmain, our impending full coverage boots will shed a few layers and appear as heeled boots with varying dotted sheer and embellished cage finishes. While we saw Saint Laurent’s fall styles embrace the studded and spiked appeal of punk’s aesthetic, Junya Watanabe clung onto the trend for his Spring 2014 shoes with a menacing ankle boot. Enviable green snakeskin heels and platform chunky heels were seen at Gucci and Michael Kors respectively. Spring is incomplete without feather embellished flats as seen at Rochas.

Without actually going into the showroom and touching the fabrics it’s hard to know what you are looking at sometimes here at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014.
Some of the shiny fabrics that designer Alber Elbaz showed for Lanvin on Thursday night looked crispy and light, like a glittery silk but that’s just hoping. I had the same issue at Hussein Chalayan with velourish-looking towel dresses, and molded gowns that were fuzzy at the bodice but melded into a smooth surface everywhere else.
On the other hand, Isabel Marant’s materials were a no-brainer. There were miles of ruffled cotton for peasant tops and zippered jackets with flouncy shoulders; frayed cotton denims with raised diamond patterns, and lace mini-dresses and bra tops. Where Marant’s collection had a natural, earthy realness almost everything Elbaz did shimmered and gleamed in the most unnatural way. Paris is in the throws of a passionate love affair with reflective fabrics.
One of my favourite Paris Fashion Week pastimes is watching the Showstudio live panel discussions. What stood out during the one on Dior was how the participants kept comparing Raf Simons’ Dior to John Galliano’s Dior. Interesting that Monsieur Christian Dior was barely mentioned

Chanel Iman versus Mia Wasikowska: Who wore the red dress best?

Popular amongst the celebrities at the Venice Film Festival, the colour red was once again a favourite this week. Two ladies in red, Mia Wasikowska and Chanel Iman, took the colour to a new level by showing us that the simpler the dress, the classier the look. Showcasing their amazing figures, these two stars looked romantic and elegant at two different red carpet events.
Globetrotter Mia Wasikowska epitomized effortless style last week at the Venice Film Festival in not one but two monochromatic dresses. But this young star showed us she could rock a brightly-coloured dress too. In Toronto last night for the TIFF 2013 premiere of Only Lovers Left Alive, Wasikowska wore a beautiful red sleeveless column gown by Christian Dior. Pairing her outfit with Brian Atwood heeled sandals, the actress looked statuesque in the form-fitting dress as she smiled to the cameras. Keeping things at a minimal, beauty-wise, Wasikowska wore a fresh, glowing face, neutral pink lips and a messy updo.
Meanwhile, in New York City before all the mayhem of NYFW began, the 2013 Couture Council Artistry of Fashion Award hosted a luncheon to honour Michael Kors. Amongst the stylish attendees was top model Chanel Iman who channeled her inner temptress in a body-con rose-coloured dress by Michael Kors (obviously!) from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. Featuring a cross back detail, the body-hugging outfit was completed with a simple black leather fold over clutch and black ankle-strapped sandals from the same collection. Similar to Wasikowska, Iman kept her beauty look at a minimum: natural-looking makeup and a sleek hairstyle.

With September rolling in this (long) weekend, it might be time to finally admit that summer is coming to an end. It’s time to say goodbye to our favourite warm weather-inspired beauty trends and embrace what fall has to offer.

Which means keeping some of your spring and summer favourites going strong as the seasons change. To help with the transition, we asked the Beauty Panel to share which summer styles they’re keeping into fall and how they’re making it work.

Edie Sedgwick Style: This It girl’s reign returns to the runways this season
See Edie Sedgwick’s style in life and on the runways »
Though she dominated just a sliver of time at Andy Warhol’s Factory in the sixties, Edie Sedgwick’s platinum blond bob, magpie style and tragic penchant for the excess has transfixed designers and artists alike long since her death by drug overdose in 1971. This season, Sedgwick is back into the spotlight thanks to perennial cool maker Marc Jacobs, who opened his Spring 2013 collection with one so unquestionably Edie look: a simple striped black and white T-shirt worn over hot pants, a platinum blond bob and low slung kitten heels. The look transformed for Fall 2013, with boudoir ready looks hitting the runways over and over at Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent.
The original Poor Little Rich Girl splashed onto the art scene starring in the Warhol-directed at film of the same name in 1965, and quickly deemed a “youthquaker” by Diana Vreeland, then editor of Vogue. She entered icon territory when rumoured paramour Bob Dylan left traces of her within “Just Like a Woman,” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.”
Sedgwick embodied the freewheeling sixties with her more is more approach to layering fur and leopard print over striped T-shirts (worn simply as dresses) while accessorizing with shoulder length chandelier earrings, exaggerated mod eye makeup and false lashes. Since, everyone from Courtney Love to Agyness Deyn and most recently Emma Watson has replicated her style. She’s become an inspirational mainstay over the years, re-appearing every few seasons in a new form at Burberry, Proenza Schouler and Dior Couture and more. Even Sofia Coppola fell under the spell, with a onetime capsule collection designed as an ode to Sedgwick in 1994. Sedgwick’s popularity reached fever pitch a few years back with the 2006 biopic Factory Girl starring Sienna Miller, whose own style was bound to Sedgwick’s at the time.

Jennifer Aniston loves the mini dress! But which look do you like best?

The mini dress was definitely the outfit of choice for many celebrities this summer. While young stars like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez showed their love for the shorter length, Jennifer Aniston proved that with a toned physique, you can pull this look off at any age. While promoting her new film We’re the Millers, Aniston wore a mini dress not once, but twice—and rocked it both times.
While the London premiere was dreary with the rainfall, the Friends star got heads turning when she arrived on the red carpet. Opting for an outfit in tune with summer, Aniston wore a mini blue floral-print dress by Christian Dior from the Resort 2013 collection, complete with a contrasting white floral underskirt. While she accessorized with a pair of black-heeled sandals by Casadei, we couldn’t keep our eyes off of her incredible engagement ring. Known for her effortless beauty and style, Aniston topped off her look with her famous tousled waves, rosy cheeks and a touch of red for her lips.

Emilia Wickstead’s modern take on old world elegance has met its match in the Duchess of Cambridge

Emilia Wickstead is a name you’ll start hearing often. Operating on a more feminine frequency than many of her edgy London contemporaries, she sits poised for an international takeover, partly because of her association with another ultra-feminine name: Kate Middleton. Perhaps most directly though, she’s got the chops.
A native New Zealander, 29-year-old grew up with a made-to-measure designer for a mother and ample creativity in her veins. She moved to London to study fashion marketing and spent time in New York interning for Proenza Schouler, Narcisco Rodriguez and Vogue Magazine. After a few years of working made-to-measure, Wickstead launched a ready-to-wear collection in 2011 at London Fashion Week. Fast-forward to today, and she’s gotten Emilia Wickstead creations on the Duchess of Cambridge at least five times by our count, and those five have been amongst Kate’s best and often-repeated pieces. She has also dressed Samantha Cameron, the notoriously fashion-loving wife of British PM David Cameron, and made clients of online retailers Matches and Net-a-Porter.
When we met the designer last month in Toronto, those high-profile connections were especially clear. Dressed in an exquisite low cut A-line dress of her own creation, Wickstead explained why the new brand of sophisticated modernity is all about what isn’t revealed: “I design very much how I dress at 29,” she says. “If I am [wearing] something short, I like to be quite covered on top and if I am wearing something to the knee, I like an open back or a low neck. I think there is something very sexy in the way of dressing like that doesn’t have to be show all and tell all.”
