Gwyneth in Pucci
This time next week, I’ll be frantically trying on outfit after outfit in an attempt to decide what to wear on my first day at work. When I started this blog in July, the plan was to redefine my personal style and to post my outfit each morning as I took off for the office. That’s why, when I sat down to watch the Emmy’s tonight, I vowed not to do an Emmy’s post. But then I saw Gwyneth Paltrow. In Peter Dundas for Pucci.
I am absolutely in love with this two piece gown. In fact, I think it is safe to say that this is my favourite red carpet look! I’m such a sucker for classic, minimalist colours, so immediately I fell for this black and nude sheer outfit. But at second look, it’s really the fresh take on a red carpet dress that got me. I love the long column skirt with the cropped top – its genius in my opinion. Gwyneth’s natural straight hairstyle really played to the boho undertones in the skirt, and made this ensemble look effortlessly chic. The black lace on nude combination added that little bit of romanticism that made it a perfect choice for the red carpet.
While on a much more glamourous scale, this dress is similar to a look I pulled from NYFW by Donna Karan. Though completely inappropriate for the 9-to-5, I’m really loving this interpretation of a crop top. My closet is already full of them from last season’s addiction (thank you American Apparel), pairing them with a maxi-length skirt would make for an exciting remix.
Peter Dundas vowed to bring some sex to the Pucci label when he joined, a promise which provided him with a large celebrity following. This however, is my favourite of his work to date – it definitely shows skin, but in a much more subtle and nuanced way.
Hope you enjoyed the show -xx.
