This Week's Best Dressed

This week's lion's share of gorgeous looks by far belonged to the Venice Film Festival.
Best Red-Carpet Fashion at the Venice Film Festival 2012

This week's lion's share of gorgeous looks by far belonged to the Venice Film Festival. Not only were some of the chicest actresses of the moment in attendance, but the sheer volume of photocalls, dinners, parties, and screenings also guaranteed that the opportunities for style inspiration would be plentiful.

At the premiere of The Iceman, Brit Marling looked angelic in a strapless, white Resort 2013 Gucci gown, the hem of which was printed with a garden of grasses and blooms. At the same premiere, Winona Ryder took the opposite approach in a darkly dramatic lace Dolce & Gabbana — and the results were equally as stunning.

But the true star of Venice, style-wise anyway, has really been Kasia Smutniak. The Polish actress, former model, and festival's host has looked flawless at every single appearance and in every single dress — from a gauzy floral Valentino to a Raf Simons Jil Sander to a streamlined, crimson Armani Privé.

See all those looks, plus more from around the world — including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (left), Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, and more — right here.

Worker bees, rejoice: In celebration of the many countless hours spent glued to your desk, this weekend has been extended to allow some extra time for rest and relaxation. And what better occasion than Labor Day to take a look back at some of the best office-oriented fashion editorials in recent memory? If art imitates life, then these imaginative images perfectly capture the bold-shouldered, power-suited silhouettes designers have offered up as workwear in the past few seasons.

Olivier Theyskens's Haircut, Christopher Bailey's Wedding, and the Most Eligible Man Bloggers

Those stories and more in our daily news roundup.



Those stories and more in our daily news roundup.

  • Designer Olivier Theyskens has debuted a new shorter haircut, saying goodbye to the long, dark locks he's worn for years. The reason? "That's the thing," he said. "There's no real reason, but people always want to think there's something more to it. I've been wanting to cut it for years, but it's never been the right time." [Into The Gloss]

  • Burberry designer Christopher Bailey and his partner, actor Simon Woods (Woods is the redhead who played Mr. Bingley in 2005's Pride and Prejudice), have registered to marry. They are believed to be planning an intimate ceremony in September — perhaps sometime after London Fashion Week. [The Daily Mail]

  • Want to date a menswear blogger? Here's a list of 15 who are single — and exceptionally good at what they do. [Four Pins]

  • Laetitia Casta says she was "so f*cking scared" working with Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette, during a recent photo shoot for V Magazine. The shoot took place on a balcony, and Casta worried "that Choupette would step back and fall off and that Karl would hate me forever because I killed his cat." [Harper's Bazaar UK]

  • Rumor has it Eva Chen is leaving her role as beauty and health director at Teen Vogue, but so far neither she nor the magazine has commented on the matter. [Fashionista]

  • Paul Smith and Barbour partnered up for a very British collaboration that will be in stores Sept. 1. [Vogue UK]

  • Moises de la Renta took to his Facebook page to rage against all the people asking him for invitations to his father's New York Fashion Week runway show. "Go find ur own invites, fake ass punks," he wrote. [Page Six]
