School of Frock: Sara Sampaio seriously swoon-worthy at Joker premiere
Monochrome rules and fashion rocks, thanks to convergence of film fests, award ceremonies and New York Fashion Week
SARA SAMPAIO (A+)
Premiere of Joker at the Venice Film Festival in Venice
Gown: Armani Prive
With the award-winning Joker getting the last laugh, the Portuguese model's whimsical themed gown is not fooling around either. The pearl- encrusted and velvet semi-sheer top is glam enough. Combined with a swirling black and white striped skirt reminiscent of a circus big top, and you get a feast for the eyes.
ELLE FANNING (A)
GQ Men of the Year Awards in London
Gown: Dolce & Gabbana
Princess Fanning is unstoppable in yet another picture-perfect red carpet outing. The usual fairy-tale elements are present, courtesy of those floral appliques, but the black tulle gives the overall look a darker, more grown-up romantic quality.
ANDREA RISEBOROUGH (A-)
Photocall for ZeroZeroZero at the Venice Film Festival in Venice
Gown: Temperley London
Shoes: Christian Louboutin
Like Tilda Swinton and Eva Green, Riseborough has such a refreshing other-worldly beauty. That is why she can still command attention in this incredible embellished mesh dress that toes the line between art deco and futuristic - even with hardly any styling or make-up.
SHAILENE WOODLEY (B+)
Harper’s Bazaar Icons gala in New York City
Dress: Balmain
Shoes: Not known
She is really turning a corner when it comes to attempting edgier, sexier styles, and her latest experiment is a structured 80s-inspired black and white ensemble that is eye-catching, statement-making and totally unexpected. Who knew she had the attitude to pull it off?
KAT GRAHAM (C)
Harper’s Bazaar Icons gala in New York City
Gown: Farhad Re
Did she get mauled by a bear on her way to the event, leaving presumably the original gown in tatters? Then we realise she is one strip away from flashing us her ovaries. In the never-ending game of risque naked dresses, Graham is obviously playing to win.
