Fashion in a Week - NY Fashion Week edition.

It's Fashion Week in NYC and while I wish I could wander along the streets and spot arrivals of hot celebrities and fashionistas, I can only wait in front of my computer screen for news and updates on fashion shows. Sad, but true.
Whitney Port attended the Luca Luca Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear show in this chic and colorful ensemble. I love everything about Whitney's outfit: her strategically sheer blouse and her full midi skirt is like a match made in heaven, her orange ankle-strap pumps form a perfect contrast against the colors of her separates, the textured clutch makes for a pop of print against her plain palette and finally, her hair is pulled back into a low, messy bun that's so, extremely elegant. It's a look I'd like to replicate!

The budding designer also looked her stylish self at the Rebecca Taylor Fashion Show. Grey was the fundamental color of her look, which comprised of a clash of stripes and dotted prints between her soft knit sweater and mini-skirt. Matching heels and bag, with her high bun, complete her fun look.

Also sitting front row at the Luca Luca and Rebecca Taylor shows was Ashley Tisdale. No offence, but while I love the full swing skirt and black pumps, I don't think you need to declare your love for NY by wearing this tee at a fashion show.

I didn't really fancy what Ashley wore to the Rebecca Taylor show either. It was too much of a "party-goer" look, rather than a fashion show first-row-attendee look. The dress and shoes look great, but not together.

However, I like both of Ashley's looks at the Nicole Miller and Mara Hoffman shows. This is what I'm talking about! These were great outfits for attending fashion shows. Absolutely loving the peach-colored strapless frock and suede blue pumps! Not to mention, her braided locks are so edgy and chic. I would've traded the printed clutch for something simpler though, to make one statement at a time.

Ashley also looked fashionable at the Mara Hoffman show in her zebra print skirt outfit and flowy blonde locks. Like the booties with the look, but didn't love it. Overall, an outfit I relate to and shouts Ashley's style.

Ashley's BFF Vanessa Hudgens graced the Concept Korea event in NYC in a velvet side-ruched dress. It's definitely one of her best looks so far! I'm pretty sure she's wearing a wig/hair extensions and she looked FAB. She should certainly grow out her hair and do blowouts to repeat this look. It frames her face and sharpens the chin area, creating a slimming effect. Back to her dress, the hemline is elongating Vanessa's petite frame and the color is working magic against her tan complexion. I sure hope she keeps this up! 

Actress and singer Mandy Moore was looking sun-kissed in her orange frock and bright red lips at the Lela Rose fashion show. I love seeing color on Mandy Moore and she wore this dress, and the statement necklace, really well.

At the Prabal Gurung show was singer Nicki Minaj and Red Riding Hood actress Amanda Seyfried (look out for her upcoming movie with Justin Timberlake, Now). The 25-year old wore a three-toned textured sheath dress with contrasting yellow strappy heels. It's such a gorgeous look to wear to a Spring fashion show, with the refreshing, bright and bold color from head to toe.

Sophia Bush looked red-hot at the Rebecca Minkoff fashion show in her bold blazer worn over a monochrome ensemble. I would love to recreate this look myself, it's simple to put together - just sling on a leopard print sling bag (the classic Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. clutch is available on Shopbop for USD295 and at Robinsons at Orchard Centrepoint for somewhere between S$600-700!)and black pumps and you're ready for a day or night out. So simple, so chic.

22-year old Elizabeth Olsen, younger sister of fashion designer twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and budding young star, wore Erdem to the premiere of her latest film Martha Marcy May Marlene for the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. Her blush make-up picks up the pink and red hues from her lovely key-hole floor-length dress. It's a very sweet look, which was kept simple with minimal accessories.

British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was out promoting her endorsement for Burberry Body fragrance in this head-to-toe Burberry suit in nude. It's a hard to wear look but the Transformers 3 babe worked it like no other. Love the choice of outfit which matched the theme of the perfume perfectly!

Finally, we have Emily Blunt at the premiere of Your Sister's Sister, wearing a color-block dress complete with a contrasting bow. She made such a pretty color clash against the pink carpet! Her pastel pink clutch beautifully complements the entire look.
