This week on the red carpet: Blake Lively, Emily Blunt, Léa Seydoux and Paz Vega

Stars on the red carpet this week.

Blake Lively

Blake Lively wore Chanel to celebrate A Quiet Place, her friend John Krasinski’s directorial debut, in New York.

She styles herself, drop earrings and and a big stack of crystal and steel bracelets are very much her thing.

Extending the black leather below the bust might flatter the waist more, design-wise, but she can certainly pull off horizontal stripes.

Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt is the star of her husband’s film(in art as in life, I’m sure).

This is the New York premiere so Prabal Gurung, who is both locally educated and politically expressive with his work (Gloria Steinem is a fan), seems the perfect choice.

This dress is part of a collection inspired by the the matriarchal Mosuo tribe of China and India’s activist Gulabi Gang.

Their common colour is pink and the embellishments echo those on saris.

Léa Seydoux

Léa Seydoux wore Louis Vuitton head-to-toe at the Paris premiere of L’Ile Aux Chiens.

This look got great online reviews, probably because it is such commercial ready-to-wear, i.e. not so much red-carpet exclusive as fantasy office clothes.

The smart skirt-suit is classic but I’m not a fan. I understand the appeal of a pussy-bow neckline but I’ll never like them.

Paz Vega

Paz Vega wore a Second Skin Company jumpsuit to the premiere of her TV drama Fugitiva in Madrid.

Maybe she was going for a theme look because between the understated gingham-print, tonal makeup and super-structured hair she is unlikely to stand out in a crowd.

Even just adding a metallic shoe would make this outfit more interesting.
