Alexa Chung and Rooney Mara Take an Ethereal Turn in This Week’s Celebrity Best Dressed List

October 16, 2015

This week was full of stylish surprises. From a modern muse embracing a softer silhouette to a model/actress stepping out in a menswear-inspired ensemble for a women’s summit to Lady Gaga returning to her old outrageous ways, stars caught us a bit off guard. Sure, a few celebs stuck with tried-and-true formulas to land on this list involving pleats, florals and graphic patterns, but the sheer number of out-of-the-box looks caught our attention. Color was king with bright shades of red and blue providing plenty of eye candy along with a fair share of bold prints. While ankle-strap footwear was definitely in, one actress stole the spotlight in a pair punctuated by brilliant beaded accents.
