Last Week, Stars Opted for Mid-Calf or Mini

Fashion month is over, so let the runway-to-red-carpet games begin. Last week the world’s most stylish were quick to try out the ultra-romantic mood of Spring/Summer 2020 and the new-normal hemlines: the mini and midi. At the Zombieland: Double Tap world premiere, Zoey Deutch went haute froth in pleated peach tulle by Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior while her costar Emma Stone chose a relatively understated tea-length dress by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton. Both looks were unapologetically feminine and completely modern, which is always a winning combination.

Off the carpet, Margot Robbie continued her cool slate of off-duty looks in a simple, chic shirtdress from Mille. Paired with high caramel-colored boots and a matching box bag, Robbie’s monochromatic ensemble was a clever first step into fall: austere, autumnal, and with a hint of that ’70s/’90s attitude that has dominated recent catwalks.

On the social circuit, warm hues and dramatic patterns took center stage. For Balmain’s dinner at Manhattan’s L’Avenue restaurant, Justine Skye shined in a short, full dress (Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, of course) of shimmering sequins and a graphic print. For her event at the Guggenheim Museum, Rihanna chose a leopard-print dress from Anthony Vaccarello’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection for Saint Laurent. Worn with snakeskin boots and piles of David Webb bangles, the look was yet more proof of her unstoppable fashion prowess (as if we needed it!).
