Karlie Kloss

Carolina Herrera
Often it’s the vintage silhouettes and fabrics, tweaked and perfected, that really make a woman feel elegant without effort. And who better to define this feeling than the timelessly chic Mrs. Herrera? A tailored suit, snug at the waist with wide leg pants and a fur collared overcoat is just the thing that made Katherine Hepburn so haute in her heyday, still makes women wild. A 40’s-style floral gown with a keyhole bust and teacup sleeves looks even chicer now than when the style first struck the silver screens. We didn’t ask Mrs. Herrera for her inspiration this season, because isn’t that besides the point? Show us a woman who wouldn’t feel like a zillion bucks showing up anywhere in Herrera. On the mod front: Mrs. H kicked off her Lincoln Center show with Karlie Kloss (flying in on the red eye, straight from the Grammys) and closed with Hilary Rhoda in an emerald green dress and fur. Overall? Divine! How the most elegant woman in fashion manages to never miss a beat is one of fashion’s great mysteries. But we’ll take this melange of bliss and beauty whenever we can get it!

What’s not to love about this adorbs shot of Cara Delevingne and Karlie Kloss at the Lion last night? The mods came out to celebrate the Derek Blasberg and Motilo.com hosted dinner for Jonathan Saunders. It’s a big week for Karlie who was officially signed as a Victoria’s Secret angel. “It is a very big honor,” she tells us. “Growing up in St. Louis, that brand has such a huge influence. Worldwide the angels are known as these incredibly strong, beautiful, powerful, sexy women, and I think that to embody that and to be a face of that brand is a huge honor. It is a serious undertaking putting on those wings, but I am excited.” Well deserved!
