Last season's catwalk darling, Coco Rocha, pimps it for bridal designer Alfred Sung. Work those pearls, dollface.

if you must

If you must do the short-shorts thing this season, do it like Donatella and balance them with deliciously fluid, long sleeves. Wearing a bra is always advisable.

samurai surprise

Scarlett Johanssen's ensemble for the Costume Institute Gala: executed with the precision of a ninja, and the discipline of a samurai. Behold the earrings that ring and glow like temple lanterns, shoes that are as austere and sexy as a table set for sushi, a single finger set with a diamond cocktail ring. And the dress! The dress: pop-art bling samurai surprise kimono.

ps. Stella, darling, you look gorgeous, too.

like a diamond

Dress is Matthew Williamson SS06

Panels of silk whirl and pool around your body as you flit about the house on a coke-induced high. You've been left to your own frenzied devices while your husband cleans his guns and brokers deals in his cherry-paneled study. You're sharp and polished, like a diamond.

Later, you're sipping margaritas on the patio with some of the girls from the neighborhood. They're as manicured as their lawns, which is to say: crisp, clean, and country club cool. "What does your husband do?" asks one. "He's in international shipping," you say, and your laugh rings out metallic, betraying the truth.

a girl's guide to owning it

The act of kicking ass and taking names is raised to a certain level of style and grace when one is wearing delightful hosery.
