What she wore Contemporary retro Style with Josie Steenhart
The Hollywood look right now is an elegant but playful fusion of vintage and modern elements.
DREAMY SLEEVES
I know we’re moving into summer (though no one seems to have told the weather), but I’m currently being drawn to beautiful long sleeves.
To me, they add a certain elegance to an outfit, and elevate a look to something a bit special – even if it’s a simple shirt dress.
While quite different in length and style, Hilary Swank and Carey Mulligan’s long-sleeved dresses share vintage-inspired vibes and gorgeous new-season hues.
If the rich hues and statement prints aren’t your bag, keep the chic design but opt for an understated but still lovely navy.
RED CARPET-WORTHY JUMPSUITS
All-in-onesies have been a thing for some time now, but not all jumpsuits are created equal, and one that doesn’t fit your body shape can end up looking awkward at best.
And while in the height of the hot season, a slouchier cut and cooler, more casual fabrics like linen might be just the ticket, right now the way to wear them is in dressier form, a la Dakota Johnson.
She’s found an LBJ (little black jumpsuit) that fits perfectly (everything sitting where it should with not a wedgie or droopy crotch in sight) and with its flattering draped detailing, plunging wrap-effect neckline and single lace sleeve, could easily replace a cocktail frock or red carpet gown for sophistication.
