Look of the Week: Rhianna!

It's Fashion Week in Paris, which means there is so shortage of great looks as celebrities, socialites, and models descend on the city to sit front row for famed French houses like Louis Vuitton and John Galliano.

But the look of the week comes from the Frenchiest of French labels, Chanel and Rhianna.



Rhianna of course wore head to toe Chanel, but she jazzed up her simple blue tweed skirt and white bustier with gobs of pearls and a killer logo-ed muff.  Her bold berry lips are pretty fierce too.

While obvi the look is far from the budget of the average fashionista, it is possible to get it for less.

For starters, try the Kimchi Blue Zipper Dress ($58) at Urban Outfitters.  The tweed bottom and basic white tank shape on top are on par with the trend.

Another skirt to try is the  Nanette Lepore Herringbone Skirt ($295), available at Nordstrom.  It has a great flirty ruffle near the waist, which can help to hide some pooch.  Pair this skirt with the Jezebel Caress Bustier ($45) at barenecessities.com


Of course, Rhianna's outfit is completed with her mass of pearl necklaces.  Mix all different lengths pearl sizes to get a similar mismatched, but still chic, look.  I adore the  J Crew Ribbon Tiered Pearl Cluster Necklace ($195).  The ribbon tie is a great bonus.  I also love the bow on this Charlotte Russe Necklace ($15.50) as well as the mix of pearls and chains on this Joomi NYC Multi Pearl and Chain Necklace ($195) from maxandchloe.com  Whether real or faux, pile on the pearls to complete this look.

Last but not least, a bold lip is the perfect complement to this ladylike but edgy outfit.  Try Lipstick Queen in Berry Sinner ($18), available at Barney's.

Gotta love Fashion Week!
