Alexa Chung In Emilia Wickstead – The Business of Fashion Party

Alexa Chung In Emilia Wickstead - The Business of Fashion Party

Alexa Chung attended The Business of Fashion party held at The London EDITION on Monday (September 15) in London, England.

Wearing what is fast becoming her favourite brand, she donned a black short-sleeved tea-length turtleneck dress from Emilia Wickstead’s Fall 2014 collection.

It’s an elegant look made more stylish with her favourite Bionda Castana ‘Nicole’ heels and more playful and Chung-like with her pink and red fluffy fan clutch. But I just wish a little more attention had been paid to the hair.

Are you liking Alexa’s more grown up approach to red carpet dressing?

Alexa Chung In Emilia Wickstead – Alexa Manicure At Debenhams

Alexa Chung In Emilia Wickstead - Alexa Manicure At Debenhams

Following the re-release of her book ‘IT’ in paperback, Alexa Chung attended a photocall to launch her Alexa Manicure collection with Nails Inc. at Debenhams in London on Thursday (August 14).

When you think of Alexa Chung, tomboy, flats and messy hair spring to mind; these days, she’s seeking to changed those views and this look couldn’t be more opposite.

She wore a pretty short-sleeved wrinkle-textured Emilia Wickstead Spring 2014 dress featuring a mock neck and A-line waist, which she styled with Bionda Castana ‘Nicole’ black mid-heels with lace panels and an ankle tie.

On Tuesday I attended Alexa’s talk with Alexandra Shulman of British Vogue, where she wore this exact same outfit from head to toe; how very Kate Middleton of her to recycle so soon.

With no cameras at Tuesday’s event, I am glad she did recycle this look to give it a greater stage from which to be seen.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Emilia Wickstead – Palm Sunday Service

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge In Emilia Wickstead - Palm Sunday Service

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge touched down at Dunedin International Airport on Sunday (April 13) in Dunedin, New Zealand ahead of attending a Palm Sunday service at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral.

Wearing another colour-popping look on day seven of the royal tour, following yesterday’s emerald Erdem coat, she wore a turquoise Emilia Wickstead long-sleeved dress cinched in waist featuring a pleated skirt, falling above the knee. I’m sure this shorter length will please those who said her Jenny Packham dress was too short.

The Duchess paired her eye-catching Sunday best frock with a matching blue hat by milliner Jane Taylor, with some sparkle courtesy of the Queen, Catherine wore her diamond fern brooch, which was given to the Queen in 1954 by the women of Auckland.

This look is particularly significant considering London-based designer Emilia Wickstead is originally from New Zealand.

Dark-green suede accessories, which don’t work for the look for me, completed her look.

You may remember that Catherine also owns this dress in pink, which she has worn twice before.

Fall 2014 Celebrity Looks On ModaOperandi

The current Fall 2014 trunk shows feature a few looks we’ve recently seen on the red carpet.

Poppy Delevingne wore Emilia Wickstead’s funnel-neck crop top with sheer-lace bonding throughout with the high-waist wrap skirt while attending the Elle Style Awards last month. She was spotted the following day doing the walk of shame wearing an Emilia Wickstead jacquard silver floral coat featuring a notched collar and a caban silhouette while making her way home.

Cate Blanchett’s Roksanda Ilincic ‘Sand Lea’ sleeveless felted-wool dress – which features a bateau neckline and multicolour abstract-floral inset, as worn to the Film Independent Spirit Awards earlier this month – is also available.

As is Allison Williams’ stunning Emilia Wickstead pink wool-crepe finale dress with an open back, which was worn to the Vanity Fair party.

Check out all the current Fall 2014 trunk shows, including Antonio Berardi, Isabel Marant, Equipment, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, Rosie Assoulin and many more.

Allison Williams In Emilia Wickstead – Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2014

Allison Williams In Emilia Wickstead - Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2014

The recently engaged Allison Williams was glowing at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday (March 2).

She wore an Emilia Wickstead Fall 2014 dress right off the runway with a Roger Vivier ‘Prismick’ Pochette.

Although it looks very conservative, the seemingly covered up dress has an elegant open back. Even so, I think Allison constantly plays it either too safe, or too old.

She rounded up the look with her usual flawless, simple and sleek hair and makeup.

I for one am dying to see her take fashion risks! Are you with me?
