Hippie Chic….

Oprah Winfrey arriving at the 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Mortons on last Sunday in West Hollywood, California.
Ali Landry at Coach’s Legacy Collection Launch.
Nicole Richie attending the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party held last September in California.
Cate Blanchett arriving at the Babel premiere during the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

Suffice to say, fashion was not at the forefront of the Hippie movement’s consciousness. More concerned with rebelling against social order and exploring their sexuality, hippies threw on clothes that challenged their middle class upbringing. Flash 30 to 40 years later and the likes of Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller and even Oprah are embracing their bohemian alter ego’s. Thank designers like Anna Sui, Etro, Gucci and Matthew Williamson for putting bright, 70’s inspired prints back on the runway and into our lives. As usual see below for ideas.

Zoe Kravitz in Elle Magazine…

Zoe Kravitz is in the current issue (March) of Elle Magazine. Gilles Bensimon took the photos and she’s wearing that gorgeous Gucci dress that Oprah wore on Oscar night (see above). I know the pics are late but they go well with the “Hippie Chic” post. Hands up all those who think Ms. Kravitz is going to be the next style icon?... Me too!

Patricia Field for Payless Shoes…

Patricia Field, stylist for Sex in the City, rocked Payless Shoes on the red carpet last night at the Oscars. Patricia was nominated in the Costume Design category for her work in The Devil Wears Prada and wore shoes she designed personally for Payless. The platform heels with an ankle strap were made from metallic and colored snakeskin. Though she lost last night Patricia’s “Red Carpet Collection” is bound to be a winner. It’ll be in Payless stores this summer. Visit www.paylessontheredcarpet.com for more info.
