Celebrity Style: Two Gwennie’s and an Olsen

Gwyneth Paltrow in Lanvin. If the runway’s wind machine and the matching window dressings in the Parisian store are any indication, this dress is about movement (and towering heels). Here, the billowing effect has been deflated and the overall look distastefully abbreviated.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Sophia Kokosalaki. Much better.
Ashley Olsen at the “Sex and the City” premiere. It’s a surprisingly busy outfit for what’s ostensibly a minimalist statement.

Fashion Insider/Celebrity Style: Kerry Washington, Margherita Missoni, Lou Doillon

Kerry Washington in Louis Vuitton Fall 2008. Take away the devo hats, modify the 3-D details, and rid of the weedy young girls with thick brows and you’re left with well-made prom dresses.
Margherita Missoni in Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2008. Margherita may be the obscenely rich everygirl, but she’s not the girl for this dress.
Lou Doillon in Armani Prive at the “Palermo Shooting” premiere in Cannes, France. To describe this as “effortless” would somehow bastardize the disheveled prettiness (thesaurus, anyone?) of the the look. Hence, just observe.

Just back from NY. Never too tired to shop.

Fashion Insider/Celebrity Style: SJP, Michelle Williams, Julia & Carine Roitfeld

Sarah Jessica Parker on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’. Classic NYC style from the quintessential NYC girl.
Julia Restoin-Roitfeld andCarine Roitfeld in Balmain Fall 2008. Okay, it DOES get better - French women in the French house du jour.
Michelle Williams at the premiere of Synecdoche, New York. Purple and tiered; I’m sure I’ve seen this before, but when it looks this good, I’m not sure I really care.

Fashion Insider/Celebrity Style: Michelle Monaghan, Lily D, Dita Von Teese

Michelle Monaghan in Versace Fall 2008. In the past I’ve brushed off Versace as bedizened, pin money clothing at its worst. This makes me reconsider.
Lily Donaldson in Balmain. It doesn’t get much better than this - an English girl in the French house do jour.
Dita Von Teese in Christian Dior. Teese acquiesces to her go-to designer once again, this time with mediocre results.
