Bows.

‘Tis the season to tie one on because bows and knots aren’t just for the holidays. Designers were big on the motif for spring 2014 working them into a bevy of looks. Emma Watson and Kylie Minogue selected the most dramatic forms of the trend, with theatricalities adorning their dresses in Giambattista Valli and William Wilde respectively. Rosie Huntington Whiteley went for a more subtle approach via a small embellishment at the waist on her Saint Laurent mini, Kourtney Kardashian and Ashley Benson both tied one around their necks men’s wear inspired ensembles. The look is definitely picking up style speed.

Suit Up.

Starlets gave men’s wear-inspired ensembles a glamorous touch with glitz and a few skin-baring moments.
Angelina Jolie rocked a chicly dishevelled Saint Laurent tuxedo number at the 67th British Academy Film Awards and at the same event, Ruth Wilson toned down the shine by wearing a metallic Antonio Berardi suit over a sartorial white oxford. Cara Delevingne made a sporty blue Mulberry suit look sexy at the Mulberry dinner to celebrate the launch of the Cara Delevingne collection during London Fashion Week. Daisy Lowe, at the Elle Style Awards, managed to button up while still showing some skin in a Saint Laurent creation while Scarlett Johansson called on Michael Kors for the red suit she wore to the Captain America: The Winter Soldier premiere.

The Power Suit.

From L-R: Lanvin, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Balmain and Victoria Beckham

 In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent introduced the now iconic Le Smoking, a groundbreaking yet sexy minimalist take on menswear for women. So in a year when the Saint Laurent label and minimalist designers commandeered everyone’s attention, it was only fitting that show after show churned out interpretations of the pantsuit.
From the Boardroom to Le Bain, the pantsuit is Spring 2013’s power player. Balmain went the bold shouldered route, and Victoria Beckham upped the sex appeal of her tuxedo with a skimpy bra top whilst at Stella McCartney’s the pantsuits were slouchy and sleek and tailored at Christian Dior’s.
