Last Week, Stars Went for Beach Vibes and Retro Fashion

As one can glean from Instagram, the starry set is currently on holiday and snapping bikini selfies in Mykonos. Those who can’t get away have brought the beach vibe to the red carpet in flowing frocks and sunny hues. Margot Robbie, for example, continued to delight during her Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood press tour, arriving at Rome’s Cinema Adriano in a tangerine sundress from Dries van Noten.

Lighthearted, uncomplicated style was the week’s big idea, from premieres to baggage claim. Liu Wen breezed through Beijing International Airport in one of Paco Rabanne’s tie-dye slogan T-shirts. Jada Pinkett Smith beat the London fog in a marigold trench from Bottega Veneta. In a floral blouse and the perfect cropped jeans, Emma Roberts turned a West Hollywood brunch date into an argument for cool denim.

All the good vibes even led to a mini-retro revival. At the launch of their latest capsule collection, Kate and Laura Mulleavy offered dual takes on late-’70s staples: on Kate, a golden pussy-bow blouse; on Laura, a ruffled floral dress reminiscent of Gunne Sax’s prairie style. Meanwhile Kerry Washington arrived at a Hollywood Foreign Press Association dinner in a glittering, plunging jumpsuit by Elie Saab worthy of Studio 54. High drama for a hot day!
