PLAYING HOOKY FOR BURBERRY

Who says you can't skip a few days of school for London Fashion Week? Emma Watson was spotted landing at Heathrow on Sept 20, arriving appropriately dressed in college sweats and a vintage "I Heart NY" tee. She re-emerged on Tuesday at the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2010 show, looking strikingly glamorous in a tinsel-like canary mini with a black braided belt and coordinating black leather platforms (get the glitzy look with VOOM by Joy Han's playful Starlet Bubble Sleeve Dress in Orange or the Metallic Mini in Bronze, or get happy with Alice + Olivia's bright Floral Poof Dress in Yellow with a contrasting belt like Motif 56's Elise Croc Belt in Black). I confess I'm not feeling the fabric that much, but I think the gold front zipper saves it from being a total failure – thoughts? This style was at the core of the new collection, and Emma's sexy heels also appeared on the runway in a few shades. I know the "hooker heel" trend is hot this fall but it seems like the public (and myself!) have yet to embrace it, until I saw these gorgeous picks. For me, the twist detail on the front straps and at the ankle give the shoes an element of sophistication that is usually lost with platforms over 3 inches. Well done, Emma! While she'll have a little catching up to do at school, I'm sure it was worth it for Emma to score on the latest fashions during her week at home – not to mention sitting next to Gwyneth Paltrow during the show! Other A-listers in attendance included Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss, so I'm sure Emma felt privileged just to be in the room! After all, following in Kate's footsteps (hopefully not too far!) she is the latest face of Burberry, and this show marked a momentous occasion: the first show Burberry has held in London in the past decade – resurrected on account of London Fashion Week's 25th anniversary celebration, of course. Hmm, wonder what Emma's professors at Brown will think?

Horrible, the dress looks like it's made of some sort of packing material, the belt doesn't belong, and the shoes look like a sprained ankle waiting to happen.guest on Sep 24 2009 @ 08:17 PM
