See the week’s best celebrity style »

With so many parties, galas and movie screenings this past week, celebrities everywhere were dressed to the nines in spring attire, giving us plenty of fashion eye candy and outfit inspiration to last the weekend.

Earlier this week, the Time 100 Gala was held in New York City and celebrated the 100 most influential people—and some of the most stylish, we might add. Although Beyoncé was not in attendance (insert sad face emoji), red carpet beauties like Carrie Underwood and Christy Turlington stunned us with their sartorial choices. Also there to accept an honourable mention was Amy Adams, who did no wrong in the fashion department, wearing a sleeveless column dress with copper embroidery, which complemented her iconic red hair.

After the tundra-like conditions of New York Fashion Week, the fair weather in London seemed practically tropical for fashion editors and bloggers alike. Shedding their heavy fur and parkas, the outfits at the Fall 2014 shows were playful and outerwear was shot with bright colour and done in shorter lengths.

Euro street style star Yasmin Sewell was the hit of the weekend, proving when in doubt, add more colour. She was first seen in a colour blocked black and orange duster with silver pumps and a blue turtleneck and then later in a gorgeous yellow silk skirt, burgundy platform sandals and a fuzzy blue pullover. Harley Viera Newton meanwhile toughened up a cutesy pink rose patterned dress, with a matching bomber and black accessories. That recognizable pop-art jacket from Prada’s Spring 2014 collection, sported by many at NYFW, including Giovanna Battaglia, made the the jump across the pond as well as numbers from previous collections, including Spring 2012’s coveted car print clutch.

So. Many Faces. Prada has released its Spring 2014 ad campaign and it’s hard to focus on just one beauty as a large model troupe “holds us in their collective gaze, looking forward in a united vision.” Explained via press release, the Steven Meisel-shot photos are meant to reflect the independent spirit of the collection, which this time around means mural-covered party dresses, illustrated furs and bedazzled sport sandals.

Glossy side parts, feathered headdresses and crowns frame a fresh crop of faces like Gracie Van Gastel, Maggie Jablonski, Julia Bergshoeff, Anna Ewers and Lexi Bolling. Continuing with last season’s introduction of the brand’s first ever-black model Malaika Firth, Prada adds to the diverse assortment with French-born Cindy Bruna, who most recently walked the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in November. Keep it coming, Miuccia!

While Burberry was all about romance for Fall 2013, Miuccia Prada’s campaigns for both Prada and Miu Miu veered towards the dark and surreal.

Shot by photographer Steven Meisel under the hair-raising light of a cold and ominous casting studio, Prada’s Fall 2013 campaign serves as the perfect setting to showcase the film noir glamour of the fall collection. The campaign’s short film stars 9 models, who play the roles of hopeful actresses, preparing for auditions and reciting lines. The dark and desolate theme mirrored that of Prada’s Fall 2013 fashion week show in which models walked down a shadow-clad runway. Miuccia Prada, the designer behind the label, was quoted post-show by style.com saying “through cloth, you can really make movies,” reinforcing the theme of the campaign. The short film stands out our radar for both it’s seriously dramatic tone and because of an appearance by 19-year-old model Malaika Firth, the first black model cast by the brand in almost two decades. Firth holds her own alongside top models Christy Turlington and Freja Beha which is a feat to say the least. The 9 model-strong cast is reminiscent of the label’s much lighter Spring 2013 advertising campaign, also shot by Meisel, in which 10 models embodied the delicate, frilly characteristics of flowers featured on garments in the Spring 2013 collection.
