4 Celebrity and Influencer Style Trends from London Fashion Week
Celebrities, models and some of fashion's biggest names have been gracing the streets of London for Fashion Week, wearing some exceptionally chic outfits with a smidge of quirky fun. Here, we pick out four trends that they've been sporting.
Glamorous Metallics
Models Munroe Bergdorf and Maxim Magnus, as well as fashion blogger Susanna Lau, were all seen wearing retro-futuristic metallic looks that encapsulated classic-contemporary glamour.
The sleek, contemporary, fur-trimmed ensembles on Bergdorf and Magnus featured longer skirt and pant lengths and figure-hugging, waist accentuating silhouettes that oozed of Old Hollywood when paired with elegant, drop-style earrings. Bergdorf's stunning black gown featured a fun, gold starry motif for a playfully whimsical touch.
Lau's button-up dress with soft pleats and blouson sleeves hinted at the prairie dresses of yesteryear and screamed '70s disco dream. Dressed in a dazzling, almost psychedelic, multicolored metallic textile, Lau paired the piece with statement, thigh-high, white, square-toed boots, a nod to the cowboy boots of the Old West, infusing disco with the Western Americana aesthetic.
The Cut-Out Dress
The cut-out mini seemed to be a hit with the impeccably stylish attendees at London Fashion Week. Models Jourdan Dunn and Hanna Cross, singer-songwriter Joy Crookes, actress Maisie Williams, and Euphoria star Chloe Cherry were all spotted wearing variations of the sultry number.
Featuring slinky fabrics, micromesh, ruching, slim straps, and gently asymmetric hems, these dresses created a powerfully sexy silhouette while hinting at the popular '90s and Y2K era aesthetics that have been sweeping the fashion scene.
Opting for a vampy lip, Williams went full-on '90s, accessorizing with strappy, square-toed black heeled sandals, while Dunn took inspiration from a classic '00s color combination, pairing her powdery, pastel turquoise blue dress with a chocolate brown shrug.
Monochrome
Leave it to guests at London Fashion Week to ace the monochrome trend.
Dunn looked ravishing in a bright scarlet, Maximillian dress that featured a unique, harlequin motif, plunging cowl neck halter top, and wrap style skirt with a thigh-high slit. She accessorized with matching, elbow-high gloves and pointed black heels that featured a kiss of red at the pointed tip, pulling the whole look together.
Monochrome red was also Georgia May Jagger's color of choice for her sultry, retro-chic, '70s rockstar-glam look. The scarlet-hued dress featured a similar plunging, halter top, and wrap style skirt to Dunn's but showcased a slightly more structured, yet drapey silhouette. The ribbon tie detail created an alluring, cinched waist look, lending a sensually feminine, Brigitte Bardot-esque charm. She edged out the almost ethereal feel dress with matching red tights, a chain shoulder bag, and classic, shiny black, pointed pumps.
In an effortlessly cool, fun take on athleisure, fashion buying director for Mytheresa, Tiffany Hsu, went with shades of green for her monochrome street style look. She teamed bright-pastel neon green, wide-legged pants with a white hoodie and oversized, bright kelly green, cuffed bomber jacket. The white stripe on the cuff lent a '50s retro varsity feel to the look while neon green, pointed pumps and a green, quilted, Chanel flap bag with gold hardware lent a feminine touch to the sporty look.
'50s Kitsch
Garishly bold, clashing colors, folksy prints, and exaggerated silhouettes, '50s kitsch was made chic at London Fashion Week courtesy of Dunn, British-American singer-songwriter Celeste, and English model/photographer Laura Bailey.
The sleek, fitted, semi-sheer, almost sportswear-esque of Celeste's top lent a contemporary feel to its kitschy, green, and red mixed gingham print which perfectly juxtaposes her shocking pink, voluminous, tiered bubble skirt. The bright pink, green and red combination also appeared on Bailey's oversized knit sweater in the form of a retro motif that was reminiscent of vintage Christmas sweaters. The look was given a modern edge with accessories like a sleek, black Chanel crossbody bag and dark, oversized sunglasses.
Pink and green continued with Dunn's floral trenchcoat style dress fitted with exaggerated shoulders. The wide belt featured a rectangular buckle that cinched in the waist to create the iconic, '50s glamor, hourglass shape. The classic black of the textile provided the chic factor, diminishing the kitschy nature of the large, brightly-hued, rose print, while the longline skirt of the dress and slim straps of her dainty, pointed heels lent an elegant, almost contemporary glamor to the vintage-inspired look.
