Sasha Fierce! Sasha Pivovarova’s 23 Best Runway Moments

Sasha Fierce! Sasha Pivovarova’s 23 Best Runway Moments
(Versace Spring 2010, Photo: Maria Valentino) Sasha Pivovarova’s beauty is a given, but it’s her intensity on the runway that made her a star. Since debuting on Prada’s Fall catwalk back in 2005, Pivovarova has made a name for herself by playing up the spooky side of her alien looks and putting those wide eyes and sunken cheekbones to good use in theatrical shows for the biggest names in fashion. Though she’s malleable enough to take on any character a designer can dream up, Pivovarova is at her best when she’s playing peculiar for iconoclasts like John Galliano or Alexander McQueen. In recent years, she’s softened her severity, taking time off from the runway to become an artist, but there’s still something wonderful about seeing her vamp her way down the catwalk. $569 & up -- London Weeklong Summer Trip w/Air Prada Fall 2005 (Photo: Marcio Madeira) See more: The Best Red Carpet Arrivals at Cannes 2015 Givenchy Spring 2006 (Photo: Marcio Madeira) By Janelle Okwodu More from Style.com: Related:  dellaabfdemicbgdenaabf

How to Wear Head-to-Toe White Like Beyonce, Kim & Gigi So many things can go wrong when you wear all white: red wine, coffee, the general dirtiness of life. (If you haven’t already read about how everything is coated in poop, now might not be the best time.) But who cares when it looks this good? Slouchy, fitted, casual, fancy—women like Beyonce, Lily Aldridge, and of course Kim Kardashian prove that a little white dress isn’t the only way to wear spring’s hottest color. Though it might be the easiest, you’ll look infinitely more interesting after layering shades of bright white with nudes, ivory, and pale pink in a variety of textures. You probably have a favorite pair of white jeans, and there’s no shortage of white dresses out there. 10% on auto insurance Desjardins Insurance Sponsored As for how exactly to style the look, here’s all the inspiration you need.

Kerry Washington, Kristen Stewart & Lady Gaga Are All Fans of This New—Affordable–Red Carpet Brand Maisie Wiliams (Arya Stark on Game of Thrones) was the first to wear Self-Portrait on a major red carpet. I noticed because she looked fresh, I'd never seen the dress before, and it took me longer than usual to track down the designer. That was in January, at the SAG Awards. Since then, Reese Witherspoon and Lucy Hale have worn the lacy looks. Most recently, Kerry Washington and Kristen Stewart, two women who mark opposite ends of the sartorial spectrum, both wore the brand. "I didn't set out to purposely fill a void in the market place," Han Chong, the creative director, tells Yahoo Style. $569 & up -- London Weeklong Summer Trip w/Air The Central St. From ASOS to Net-a-porter, it doesn't look like anyone can keep Self-Portrait in stock—and that's just the way Chong wants it: "Beauty shouldn't be just for the privileged few."

Naomi Watts Really Loves This Snake Necklace One of the many perks of being a Bulgari spokesperson, is getting to wear some of the most amazing and expensive jewelry out there — and Naomi Watts certainly takes advantage of it. And while she most likely has her pick of the precious pot, the 46-year-old’s favorite seems to be the serpent necklace that she’s been spotted wearing time and time again. But while in the past, she’s opted for the diamond-encrusted serpent, at an event for Bulgari at tis year’s Cannes Film Festival, she instead opted for a gold version. She paired the statement piece with a simple black dress and pulled back hair, letting it do the talking. She’s followed this same style rule in the past, especially when wearing the more blinged-out interpretations, At the Golden Globes in January, the 46-year-old actress wore a canary yellow column dress from Gucci.

Dear Silicon Valley Fashion Week, Where’s the New? Photo: Eli Zaturankski When you throw an event called Silicon Valley Fashion Week?, even with the question mark at the end, there are going to be expectations. I approached the first two nights of the three night event feeling both snotty and skeptical—I spent a decade covering the fashion industry’s traditional fashion weeks, so go ahead, show me fashion—but also hopeful. Save up to $335 on your auto insurance Desjardins Insurance Sponsored The second night was more fashion-y, you could say, in that the focus was more on clothes.

Celebs Are Being Paid Lots of Money to Wear Jewels That Are Worth Lots of Money It’s no secret that the Cannes Film Festival (where glitz rules and high heels are reportedly mandatory on the red carpet), is a major marketing opportunity for luxury brands. In fact, jeweler Chopard thought the film festival was so key to its strategy, it apparently wrote checks totaling over $1 million to ensure that 11 stars, like Julianne Moore and Lupita Nyong’o, would wear the company’s baubles during the festivities. Yes, if you’re an A-List, of-the-moment actress or model, a company will loan you diamonds or emeralds worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and pay you six figures for the pleasure of “collaborating” on the event. So common is the practice of paying stars to don jewels during awards season, “7/10 of the nominees and presenters are paid for at least one or more of the items they are wearing [on the] red carpet,” says Matthew Berritt, Director at EVINS Communications, a leading luxury PR firm, based in New York.

Solar Panel Bags, Jackets That Hold Laptops, Drone Mannequins, & More from Silicon Valley Fashion Week Photography by Eli Zaturankski As someone who returned to San Francisco after years of covering fashion weeks around the world for Vogue, I was intrigued when my editor came calling with the request to report on Silicon Valley Fashion Week. First of all, it’s not really a week at all (more like three days), but what could we possibly expect to see? And what was the impetus behind creating said fashions? “[Burning Man] was the entry and inspiration for me to get into fashion. $265 & up -- All-Incl. “It was one of those, ‘Why the hell not things’,” Lindland said. Held at The Chapel, a music venue in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, the event drew sponsors including custom manufacturer PCH and retail app Shimmer and has been sold out for weeks.
