Last night there were two very fashionable events taking place. Riccardo Tisci hosted a Givenchy party in New York to celebrate the closing night of of Maria Abramovic’s “The Artist Is Present” exhibition. Guests included Christina Ricci, Courtney Love, Natasha Poly and Liv Tyler. For me Natasha was the best dressed (more on that in the Hit & Miss this weekend) but Liv was a very close second in her sheer Givenchy dress.
At the same time, in California, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and Emily Blunt all supported the 2010 Crystal + Lucy Awards dressed in, you guessed it... black!
Vanessa Hudgens also made an appearance at the Crystal + Lucy Awards, but stood out from the other LBD-clad-ladies as her skirt was sheer.
Notice a pattern yet? The black maxi dress with a sheer skirt is the look for red carpet events at the moment. Everyone is doing it.
You'll remember Kate Beckinsale's sheer Chanel dress, which she wore in Cannes, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld looked gorgeous in a similar Mark Fast design a few weeks ago. Margherita Missoni has also given the style a go, and Ashley Olsen put a spin on the look with a black lace skirt.
It's clearly no longer enough to bare your pins on the red carpet (far too obvious, no?) so those who really want to make a statement must simply give a glimpse of leg.
I can't believe Jennifer Aniston hasn't caught onto this look yet. You know she loves a black dress, and I think this style would look stunning on her. Hopefully Vanessa Hudgens gave her a few ideas last night...
Who do you think wears the look best? And who would you like to see give it a go next?
