BAJAN beauty Rihanna left little to the imagination when she went braless in a yellow twin set at the launch of her very own cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty. Signature colour — yellow, of course.
LOOK OF THE WEEK
Rihanna
Crime scene: Fenty Beauty launch
RiRi put it all out there at the launch of her very own cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty.
Given the brand’s signature colour is yellow, the Bajan songbird opted for a bright banana yellow Oscar de la Renta two-piece.
The knotted crew-neck crop top, high-waisted full skirt with tumbling hem and side split, and thigh-high gold wrap-strap sandals worked in unison to produce one fierce bold look.
Score: 9/10
HITS
Kim Kardashian
Crime scene: Harper’s Bazaar Celebration of Icons By Carine Roitfeld
Woah! Famous for blowing up the internet, Kimmy K may have sent cyberspace into meltdown this week with a double whammy.
Firstly, the new platinum hair. And then this crazy good silver mesh strapless dress that appears to have been sprayed on.
Hollywood tape working overtime — that or gravity-defying breasts (which we’re not putting past the planet’s most famous woman).
Score: 9/10
Helen Mirren
Crime scene: Venice & Toronto Film Festivals
Hands up if you know a 72-year-old who could — or would — rock this figure-sculpting dress.
Dame Helen is a pretty hard act to follow, especially when she wears such glorious creations as this burgundy bell-skirted dress with three-quarter sleeves and black embroidered detail.
But the Toronto appearance wasn’t her only big fashion day out this past week.
Across the Atlantic, the Dame showcased an elegant silk gown by London designer Sassi Holford (more famed for bridal than red carpet).
The ivory dress featured a dipped hem, flared skirt and dramatic black embroidery across a sheer bodice.
Bravo!
Score: 10/10
Jane Fonda
Crime scene: Venice Film Festival
Crikey, do we all realise that Jane Fonda is 79 years old?
Seems like a couple of decades ago she was parading around all breathy and sex goddessy in Klute and China Syndrome.
And here she is in a fabulous feminine Marchesa gown with beaded applique, three-quarter sleeves, carpet-sweeping train and sheer lace sleeves.
Every inch the screen legend that she is.
Score: 9/10
MISSES
Candice Bergen
Crime scene: Home Again screening
Remember when Murphy Brown was the show that everybody watched? The stylish sassy TV reporter who battled alcoholism, breast cancer and became a single mum (not in that order).
Well, people, that was 30 years ago and yet strangely the actor who played her looks barely a day older.
Except for her fashion choices, in particular the voluminous technicolour coat, which could in no way be described as stylish.
Score: 4/10
Bruna Marquezine
Crime scene: Venice Film Festival
Ah, European film festivals ... home of the weird, wonderful and occasionally gorgeous outfit.
Don’t know about you out there in reader land, but we here at HQ are heartily sick and tired of this granny pants under a sheer skirt trend.
What on earth is flattering about it?
Score: 3/10
Laura Dern
Crime scene: Deauville US Film Festival
Poor old Laura Dern. So gorgeous but such poor taste.
This week’s train crash isn’t helped by the red carpet clearly being a wind tunnel — feathers for supper, anyone?
Surprisingly, this fussy shift dress is designed by Calvin Klein, the usual king of minimalism.
Score: 3/10
