What's your festival style?

Up until this year I was oblivious to festivals and the fashion. In all honesty I had no interest in them, I was quite happy to listen to my own music at home (while blogging, obviously). This year I'm popping my festival cherry and embarking on my first festival adventure - Reading festival! My instant reaction was what the hell am I going to wear? 

There are so many stereotypes when it comes to festival fashion and I've never been one to follow the crowd, if you want to stand out at a festival, read on! I'm going to offer a weekends worth of fuss-free festival outfits whether your style is rebelliously punk or fiercely feminine.

Indie chick

The indie style is all about an individual style that steers away from major trends and consumerism. The loose fitting clothes, slouchy cardigans and care-free vibe is perfect for festivals. I've created three outfits for a weekend long festival that have the basis of indie style. The first consists of loose flowing shorts and equally loose top with clunky shoes and a stack of bracelets. I love the colours used in this outfit because they're so simple and with a summer tan this outfit would look amazing! The next outfit had a bit of a boho vibe with the maxi dress but I feel that the more alternative sunglasses and bright nail polish give this dress an indie styling. My third outfit is for the colder days and has a very laid back feel. I paired with espadrilles as they're so chilled out and can be thrown on with almost anything. I love the tie-dye, fringed top as it is the epitome of indie styling - home coloured fabrics and things that are cut/customised in sometimes formed the basis of the indie style in the 1990's. 

Chic & Sleek 


This style of clothing is for those fashion forward, always on point gorgeous girlies with a flair for the dramatic. Stepping out in all monochrome is stylish and striking. The first outfit in all white is stunning. To me chic style is all about precision cut clothing, clean palettes and being matched to perfection. The first outfit is all white which will set off any tan acquired lying in your back garden, on the golden sands of Hawaii or simply out of a bottle. Ombréd hair is perfect for this outfit as it offers a more indie vibe which suits a festival perfectly. The second ensemble in all black is striking and you'll appear to just have walked off of the set for'Coven' American Horror Story. All black is one of my favourite colour palettes "Black is modest and arrogant at he same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious . But above all black says this : 'I don't bother you - you don't bother me'" Yohji Yamamoto. In the final ensemble I've chosen a mix of black and white - almost a battle between good and evil. I love how complimentary these colours are together. They scream sophistication and elegance.

Bohemian Beauty 


Boho style revolves around heavy accessories, embroidery and layering, bold patterns and feminine fabrics. I've styled three outfits that use these principles. Boho fashion has become a standard look of festival goers, presumably due to Kate Moss rocking this boho look at many a festival. My first outfit shows layering a large cardigan over a delicate feminine dress with a heavily embellished necklace and a simple pair of sandals. I love the mix of colours in this ensemble. The second outfit is all about twists and knots and bows, just generally playing with the fabric and having fun with fashion. The key piece here is the crochet over jacket, I love the shape of it and it adds and interesting focal point to this outfit. My final ensemble hasn't been over thought, it is simply throwing a tie-dye shirt with some shorts, embellished flip flops and a fringed bag - beautifully boho in seconds! 

Practical Princess 


Festivals are all well and good when they're warm weather with good music pumping out and good vibes all round but shitty weather can ruin your weekend if not prepared properly. These outfits will have you ready for a rainy day, a muddy venue or a heatwave! I adore how sweet the first outfit is; the cute over sized crop top, matching converse, adorable dungarees and all essential parka for those drizzly days. The second outfit is gorgeous and I'm in love with the blend of colours, I love the colour combination of the warm berry of the hunters and the pale pink of the cardigan. The play suit is very sweet and perfect for a summery festival with the floral print. The knee high socks will look on trend with the knee high hunters and the backpack will help you to be prepared for anything. The final outfit is perfect for a sunny day and will help you cover up and stay protected from the sun. 

Girly 


One of the current trends is neon two-pieces - perfect for the girl festival goer. I love the neon colour palette because it just screams summer. The first ensemble is a ruffled off mint top paired with a neon maxi skirt for a striking impact. Wear this outfit with a neon lipstick and a cute pair of flip-flops for a perfectly fun festival vibe. The second outfit is so gorgeous, a teal bandeau with a sheer white top, distressed denim shorts and lace toms, a profusion of rings - it doesn't cute cuter than that! This outfit had a more 'hipster' inspiration. The final outfit is adorable; a lemon coloured lace top, with watermelon pink lace shorts, a heavily embellished necklace and cute white platforms. This trio of outfits is bright and fun making you the centre of attention at any festival! 

Punk rock 


This is by far my favourite collection - it suits me perfectly and will be my style choice for reading as it is my style down to a tee. This style to me is a mixture of goth, emo, punk, fetish and rock - it's my favourite way to dress! The first ensemble is a red tartan top (a change from the usual tartan skirt) paired with an asymmetric leather skirt, stockings and a pair of docs. The second outfit is a band tee (I chose ac/dc because I was listening to them at the time of choosing outfits) and a skirts with braces, a choker with chains and a pair of standard black vans. My final outfit and my personal favourite a simple choker, black bustier top, black skinny jeans with zip detailing and chunk black shoes. I love this style and it gives me a confidence boost when wearing it - I feel comfortable in it. 

I hope this post has been helpful in deciding what to wear to a festival and I hope you have great fun at whatever festival you're attending! I'll be creating a post once I'm fully decided on what I'll be wearing to Reading festival! 

Love Dixie,

Wednesday: Woman-crush

Wednesday posts will consist of me picking a 'woman-crush' and analysing her look. Each week I will pick one of my icons and look at what she wears, research her beauty secrets and show you how you can recreate her style with a few essentials. I will also consider taking requests for this post so email me with any ideas of a 'woman-crush' at perfect-that-pout@hotmail.co.uk 

Woman-crush: Kim Kardashian

To kick start this new style of post I had to choose my biggest inspiration, no debate it's Miss Kim Kardashian! I have been extremely inspired by her for a number of years and not just the way she dresses. I adore her fabulous style, her flawless make-up, her sleek hair and her glamorous accessories. Not only am I inspired by her but her whole family offer inspiration for my style and I'm constantly incorporating their looks into my own; I'm all for taking inspiration but it's important to be yourself too!

The first step in taking inspiration from an icon is by looking at what they wear, here is a collage of outfits and beauty styles by Kim that have particularly inspire me...



The next step is to realize what it is that I love about these things so here's a closer analysis of an outfit and a make up look that I adore...

I love this outfit for so many different reasons, its included so many aspects of fashion that I love and is one image that I have based my style around. To start off with I love the colour palette - black & gold, very simplistic, very chic. I like that she has paired a very simple black vest with a fitted blazer as it is very minimalist but also effortlessly gorgeous. I like the silhouette of the blazer as it is shapely and flattering. I adore her leather trouser (I bought a very similar pair from H&M) they're very modern and extremely fierce. I like her shoes as they are edgier than a pair of black pumps, they also add personality to her outfit, She has accessorized this look well with an oversized, black tote bag which can hold all of her essentials and completes the look. I like her large black sunglasses as they offer mystery to the ensemble. Finally I love that she threw on a simple gold chain, it is a point of interest as it is a pop of colour and is also quite an elegant touch as it brightens the outfit. This is an outfit that could be worn out shopping, to college or for a lunch date with a friend. It screams sophistication, edginess and style. It's a simple outfit to create that ensures a large impact.


Kim tries out a wonder of new trends (and rocks each and every one of them) but my absolute favourite is her usual smokey eye and nude lip look. This is Kim Kardashian trade mark and its flawless. First of all her skin is perfect, she has a flawless base to begin with and her skins appears to glow. Her blusher and bronzer play an important part in her look as they give her bone structure definition and show of those gorgeous cheek bones. Her eyes are perfectly lined here and the abundance of lashes give a flirty, feminine look. Her large brown eyes are complemented wondrously by her perfectly matched eye shadow, She keeps her eyebrows simple and light, this is often something people get wrong as they make them too dark but Kim knows to keep them simple and allow them to frame her face beautifully. She keeps her lips nude in order to draw attention to the eyes and cheeks which has a very sophisticated feel to it. Finally she uses highlighter to accentuate key features such as her nose and cheekbones.

Next it's time for some research, it's important to look up things advice given by your icon as it's likely they've shared interesting secrets and tips about fashion and beauty. Here are my favourite tips that Miss Kardashian has shared...

1. Take off your Make Up
This is an important tip as taking your make up off each night allows your skin to breathe. By leaving it on you will block your pores and this can cause unwanted spots. Kim likes to use Neutrogena Make Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes in Night Calming













2. Create Contours
Kim's cheekbones are a focal point of her face due to how gorgeous they are. Her bone structure appears flawless, you can achieve this by using Kim's clever contouring trick. Start with foundation and then apply your powder. Next apply concealer all over you cheeks, make a tree shape on your nose allow down your nose to be the trunk and where your nose meets your forehead the leaves, add a little concealer to your chin. Then using an egg shaped brush blend it all in. Now use a matte bronzer -Kim says important to use one without sparkle - and contour in a 3 shape either side of your face. Start on your cheek bones, work down to your chin and then up to your forehead. Kim's favourite bronzer is is Smashbox Bright Lights in Suntan Matte










3. Max Out Your Lashes
Kim believes that it is important to maximise your eyelashes and claims that her long lashes run in the family. She swears by Lancome Doll Lashes and MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara to create her full lash look. She says it's all about using different mascaras and taking your time when applying each mascara.



















4. Keep Your Nails Filed
Kim carries a nail file with her everywhere she goes as she says it's important that her nails are kept in a perfectly rounded square shape at all times. When having them manicured she often files them herself to get them just the way she likes them! Even claiming that she is 'OCD' about her nails!

5. Keep Skin Smooth
Finally Kim believes that keeping your skin smooth is a must. She heads to a Korean Spa in downtown LA in order to exfoliate and remove spray tan from her body which keeps her skin looking fresh and radiant.

Here are 3 purse-friendly beauty products essential for trying out Kim's look...

1. Lash extending Mascara

2. Matte Bronzer

3. Highlighter

Closet Control: key item #2

To have a gorgeous wardrobe is every fashionista's dream, having a huge variety of unique but on-trend ensembles at the ready is perfection. However to each wardrobe there are basics that are a must, no matter what you're personal style without these basics you're wardrobe won't be at its best, over the next few weeks I'll post various sections of the 'perfect' wardrobe with pictures, diagrams and helpful hints on how to achieve you're very own 'perfect' wardrobe.

This post is about the second key item which will help you build your 'perfect' wardrobe, which is skirts.
I think that skirts should definitely be a basic item in a women's wardrobe because they're so versatile. The amount of options available is astounding, anybody can find a few skirts that suit their taste and their body.  Having a few gorgeous skirts on hand is an essential, if you want a girly look one day you can grab a pastel, A-line skirt throw it on over a white t-shirt, add a pair of cute ballet flats, a few layered necklaces and a waterfall cardigan and you've achieved your look. However if you want to look very chic, you could throw on a black, leather skirt, with a white collared shirt tucked in, then add tights, an oversized, slouchy bag, a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Litas and you're good to go! It's so easy to create a variety of looks with one skirt, but it's important to know different types of skirts, here are some of the most common skirts...

A-line 
An A-line skirt is narrower at the top and gently flares out so it becomes wider at the bottom, resembling a A shape. 

Bodycon 
A bodycon skirt is elasticated and very fitting, they're very good for showing off curves. 

Maxi Skirt
A maxi skirt is a tube/cone shaped skirt that hangs from the waist and covers all or most of the legs. 

High-low 
A high-low skirt has a shorter hem at the front, than at the back, they're a worldwide favourite.  

Peplum skirt 
A Peplum skirt is a skirt with a flared ruffle attached to the waist, the skirt is usually bodycon so as to accentuate the ruffle.

Skirts are the perfect key item because they can be worn with a variety of things to give a variety of different looks. With so many different styles, cuts, colours, patterns and textures anybody can find a few skirts to suit them. All you need is a little knowledge of what works with your body shape and an idea of what colour looks best on you and you're already on your way. 
My favourite thing about skirts is that they can look formal or casual and you can dress them up or down so easily and they're such an easy option they're instantly feminine and flirty.Have a look at my example of how to style a zipped bodycon skirt...
  

By wearing a casual tee with a logo over the skirt you instantly get a casual feel, by pairing it with knee high socks, converse and a hair bow you get an even more casual look, very easy to do and extremely stylish and fun. The look in the middle is a casual formal look, tucking in a slightly casual tee and pairing with a blazer gives quite a formal look but with no jewellery and edgy flats the ensemble feels more casual, giving it the perfect balance of casual formal. My final look, the one on the left, is the most formal look of all, paring it with a top that has an embellished peter pan collar, an embellished clutch, black tights and black, sky high Louboutins the whole look is very formal. 

When shopping for skirts it's important to buy ones that have the most potential outfit wise, ask yourself these questions when looking for skirts..
Does this colour suit my skintone?
Do I own anything that goes with this?
Can this be dressed up and down?
Can I create a variety of different looks with this?
Does the cut flatter my bodyshape?
If the answer is yes to all or most of these questions then you're on to a winner! The skirt is defintely a good purchase and you're one step closer to building your 'perfect' wardrobe.
I hope this post helps and inspires you

How to dress like Aria Montgomery (Pretty Little Liars)

Aria Montgomery is a character from the hit US Tv Show Pretty Little Liars, I highly recommend you watch it! In order to dress like Aria first we have to unpick her style so here are some examples of her style...

In this picture Aria is wearing all dark colours, A dark polka dot dress with a black, sheer blouse underneath and black gladiator boots. Accessorising with simple gold bangles and a dark bracelet Aria's style is simple yet interesting.    

In this look Aria layers a leather jacket over a dark, floral print dress, she teams this with an oversized bag and knee high boots. She is also wearing big earrings, this is her signature style. 

Again here's a picture of Aria's signature style, the tough leather jacket thrown on over a dark toned simple dress, teamed with knee high socks and high boots, she's also teamed this look with a shoulder bag and layered necklaces. 

I really love this look, Aria is playing with layers and textures to achieve an edgy look that expresses her personal style. She wears two tone leggings, black and leopard print, a grey tee with skulls on the front, a burgundy waistcoat and then a leather jacket. Her burgundy creeper style shoes are a modern finish to this outfit. She wears her hair up which gives the look a more casual feel.  

Aria's style changes a little here, she wears a light coloured, feminine blouse, however she does layer it under a dark front zip, low cut dress and she pairs this black ankle boots and dark nail varnish which gives this feminine blouse a vampy makeover.
This is my favourite of Aria's outfits, probably because I adore this dress, if I owned one I would wear it to death! This short denim dress with slightly flared skirt is gorgeous enough but the added bonus here is the studs on the shoulder, they're exactly my style and modernize this dress completely. She again wears knee high boots to complete this ensemble. Finally Aria's hair looks very casual in this relaxed side ponytail and the long earrings add interest to the outfit. 

This is one of Aria's more simple outfits a strapless, sweetheart neck-lined mini dress, under a black blazer teamed with gladiator boots and a long, chain necklace. With her hair worn up the outfit looks more formal, however the blazer keeps it from being too dressy for the occasion.  She looks polished and tidy but is also showing her personal style.
In this ensemble Aria wears a grey asymmetric top, under a Burgundy, faux fur gilet, She wears this with black ladder style leggings and charcoal coloured biker boots, she teams this with a knitted charcoal coloured beret and a large, statement necklace. Overall this look is very casual but typically aria due to layering and the dark colour palette mixed with unique pieces.

To sum up Aria's look its unique, dark and layered. Her style is very modern yet she likes to mix vintage and new pieces in order to create a unique look, Aria expresses herself through her clothing and see no boundaries in what she wears, to achieve this look you need 5 simple steps...

1.  Use a dark colour palette
Although Aria wears various patterns, styles, cuts, fits and textures she rarely changes her colour palette, she is often seen in charcoal, burgundy, black, dark grey and navy tones,  rather than bright pinks, oranges, yellows and greens. To channel Aria's style stick to a dark colour palette, including tones such as these...


2. Wear items that have unique touches
Aria's style is set apart from others due to her touches of uniqueness in her outfit, whether its a kitsch brooch or a hat from a thrift store she manages to add her own to touch to any outfit. This is a key point of channelling Aria's style, invest in a variety of clothing items that are unique and different to anything you've seen before, thrift stores, vintage stores and eBay are great places for these finds, look for kitsch buttons on a blazer, a creative motif on a jacket or layered necklaces that are unique, these touches will make you're outfit original which is key when recreating Aria's style. 

3. Leg wear is key
9/10 of Aria's looks consist of some interesting leg wear, this is an easy step to achieve. Invest in an array of coloured tights, knee high socks, patterned leggings, ankle socks and thigh high socks. You should try to find, block coloured ones, patterned ones, and different lengths as this gives you more options when creating various outfits. You can be a s crazy as you want with the leg wear as long as the colours aren't too bright because Aria's colour palette is very dark. 



4. Mixture is the key to success
A very important tip to remember is to mix and match colours and patterns in order to achieve an Aria inspired look, for example; throwing a leather jacket over a dark, floral printed dress, mixing black, burgundy and charcoal garments or wearing both gold, silver and bronze jewellery. The key is to combine various colours, fabrics, patterns and textures to create an original ensemble. 

5. Boots are your new best friend 
To finish everything off correctly you have to get the footwear right. Aria's signature shoe is the boot, you can interpret this into almost any boot, knee high, thigh high, ankle, biker, fringed, leather, suede anything really. To get it right stick to dark colours and the more unique the better, use the examples bellow as a guideline...


I hope this post helps and inspires you into creating your own Aria style ensembles, just remember you're personal style should also be included as the biggest faux pas is to dress as something you're not

5 MUST SEE looks of the week

1.
Who: Jessica Biel
Where: NYC Premiere of Total Recall
Wearing: Ellie Saab couture dress with matching shawl and Jimmy Choo pumps
Let's see!
Jessica's ensemble makes it onto my list this week because I feel she looks uber-glamorous in this Ellie Saab couture dress. I love how she paired the dress with the Ellie Saab gold clutch, it gives the outfit a pop of colour which I adore. The shoes are a good match to this outfit, however the pointed toe is not my first choice, I'm all for a rounded toe but these are good with the outfit too. I also love her bright nails against the white dress. The shawl is debatable but personally I love it, you don't see many shawls around and I think it was a fashion forward move! 

2. 
Who: Kerry Washington
Where: Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Luncheon 
Wearing: Pink and red striped Dior dress and nude Louboutin heels 
Let's see!
I absolutely adore this dress. It's very fun, flirty and feminine which are always qualities to look for a dress. The colours are gorgeous and I love that they clash together but they work so well. The nude Louboutin's go perfectly as they keep the attention on the dress, Kerry's hair looks extremely glamorous and the bright lips match the red blocks of colour. A perfect ensemble here from Kerry. 

3. 
Who: Ashley Tisdale 
Where: Instyle event 
Wearing: Erin Fetherston blouse, grey skirt, Edie Parker clutch and Jewelled sandals 
Let's see! 
This look makes it onto my must see list because it's simple yet glamorous, this look is definitely something I would wear. I love the blouse tucked into the skirt, it suits her figure well and looks effortlessly gorgeous. Although the colour palette is very simple the whole outfit is interesting. The statement jewellery works so well here, the large necklace gives the blouse a classy finish and the cocktail ring adds interest to the whole ensemble. Ashley's hair looks gorgeous in this slightly pinned back style and the very lightly dipped pink ends add a youthful feel to this look, top marks to Ashley! 

4. 
Who: Khloe Kardashian Odom
Where: Muscular Dystrophy Event in L.A.
Wearing: High-low bright red dress and nude platforms
Let's see!
My first thought when I saw this picture was 'Khloe looks stunning.' This dress shows of her figure and it really works well for her body. The cut is very on trend; the high low skirt is amazing! The colour suits her perfectly with her new hair colour the bright red compliments her beautifully. I love the gold necklace adding a glamorous touch to the dress and the nude shoes work well here as the attention is on the dress and her new hair colour. My final comment is Khloe's skin looks so radiant and healthy here, she's a true role model of beauty. 

5.
Who: Dianna Agron 
Where: In Paris working on her new film Malavita 
Wearing: Grey-striped pinafore dress with ruffled sleeves, teamed with pink heels and a black clutch
Let's see!
Dianna looks stunning in this simple ensemble. The dress is very feminine and girly, the ruffles at the sleeves add texture to the dress and balance out her shape making the dress very flattering. One thing I love about this look is Dianna's hair, a side parting and neat, low ponytail make this relaxed but polished and neat which I feel is very important. I love the simple elegant touches such as the black clutch and the shimmery pink shoes. 

These 5 looks are extremely gorgeous and this week have all been very simple and polished, something I will try and recreate in my outfits in the upcoming week, I hope you enjoyed reading

H&M bag review

A few days ago I walked into my local h&m and saw these gorgeous studs on faux leather and my style radar went off! I took a closer look and instantly n knew I had to buy this bag!

It is a medium sized, black, leather effect handbag with two small straps and a larger detachable strap. It includes gold studded detailing over the front an back panel of the bag. The inside is a simple, bright red and it includes a zip pocket and mobile phone slot along with a larger slot for keys/ID the bag has two zips as a fastening.


Inside lining and zip pocket 




Appearance: 5/5
I love the whole look of this bag, I'm a sucker for gold studs and this bag is covered in them! This gorgeous bag screams edgy and fierce which is how I would describe my own style so this bag is a perfect addition to my wardrobe.

Feel: 5/5
I love the feel of this bag, it's soft to the touch and the texture is really authentic the studs add a shimmering touch but are not sharp or spiky which makes the bag more useable.

Function: 4/5
I find that the bag is of perfect size for everyday use, it can hold lots of items including notepads, make-up bags, cameras, books etc.. it maybe slightly bigger than some people are used to for everyday but if you're anything like me and can't travel lightly then this is perfect. Due to the three straps the bag is versatile, you can use the two straps for short trips but the longer strap can be used if you'll be walking for a long period of time. My only negative point is that the zip is quite stiff at first, I found that it takes a little tugging but it gets easier through use.

Weight: 5/5
When buying any bag its important that it doesn't weigh lots without anything in as this will be even worse once you have everything you need in there! In my opinion this bag is of a perfect weight without anything inside, my first thought was that with the abundance of spike detailing that it would be heavy but to my surprise I found that the weight was perfect.

Here are my ideas of what to pair this bag with...



This is an extremely gorgeous bag and I completely recommend it to anybody who has an edgy, modern style. At only £29.99 it's a perfect purchase. it's available online in black or white, however I purchased mine in store so I can't comment on delivery charges or post and packaging quality.
I hope this review helps

5 MUST SEE looks of the week

1.
Who: Michelle Williams
Where: Tribeca Film Fest premiere of Take This Waltz
 Wearing: Giambattista Valli patchwork dress paired with with Louboutin ankle-strap sandals  Let's see!



















This look is a must see simply because the dress is astounding. A gorgeous dress that is like no other! I love the clash of the bright yellow with the soft, neutral tones of the rest of the dress. The layers look fabulous together and teamed with the Louboutins it's a match made in heaven!

2.
Who: Penelope Cruz 
Where: The Italian premiere of To Rome with Love
Wearing: Champagne Dolce & Gabbana lace gown with metallic Roger Vivier clutch
Let's see!



















How stunning does she look in this feminine, chic gown? Giving Penelope a gorgeous shape and making her look elegant this gown was the perfect option for this event. She looks classy and stylish and the updo draws attention to her flawless make-up. Definitely worthy of a spot in the MUST SEE list.

3.
Who: Gwen Stefani
Where: L.A premiere of Paul McCartney's music video
Wearing: Stella McCartney black silk jumpsuit with sheer cut-outs and Christian Louboutin heels 
Let's See!



















Gwen looks stunning in this jumpsuit! Although 57% of the UK feel her look is a 'sham' (according to Eonline's Fashion Police Gallery) I think this look suits her well and looks gorgeous. The jumpsuit is daring due to the amount it reveals, I love the peplum detail too. I adore how she has kept the silk jumpsuit and shoes neutral but added a pop of colour with the red lip tres chic! The messy up-do adds a modern vibe to this effortlessly fabulous look.

4.
Who: Emily Blunt
Where: The London premiere of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen 
Wearing: Beaded and striped Carolina Herrera dress, Tiffany & Co jewels and black satin Louboutin peep-toes
Let's see!



















I must point out straight away how much I J'adore this dress. The colour suits her perfectly, contrasting with her delicate, light skin and matching her blue eyes to a tee. The cut of the dress keeps her looking classy but you can still see her gorgeous figure. The hem of the dress flaunts intricate bead work whilst the neckline is kept simple with a very slight round neck. Emily's hair is perfect for the occasion and the shoes are a great addition to the ensemble.

5.
Who: Rihanna
Where: The Toyko premiere of Battleships
Wearing: Metallic Emilo Pucci wrap jacket and pants, nude Manolo Blahnik sandals and a Tom Ford necklace
Let's see



















Rihanna has nailed the pyjama trend with this Emilo Pucci duo. A trend that takes a lot of confidence and one hell of a personality to pull off looks effortless here. This outfit works so well because it was a risk, it's not a typical Rihanna-style outfit but she rocked it. Teaming three world-renowned designers together to make this ensemble ticks all of the style boxes here, good job Rihanna, keep it up!

That concludes my 5 MUST SEE looks of the week list
