WHAT TO WEAR WHEN: You Are A Pop Star Showing Off Your “Best Gal Pal” at a Lingerie Runw

WHAT TO WEAR WHEN: You Are A Pop Star Showing Off Your “Best Gal Pal” at a Lingerie Runway Show, And Also, You Are Both WitchesComplementary dressing — like anything else about relationships — is as much about contrast as coordination. You can definitely live in the same color family and basic silhouette, but differentiate yourself with individualistic details. She’s in a plunging neckline? You try a high halter. She wears high heels? You wear sneakers, with twinned-up detailing.In this case, you’re both in form-fitting black, but you have different roles to fulfill. This is a runway show, and she’s the model, so she should be the focus. You’re the performer — in this case, you’re secondary, but that doesn’t mean you should be invisible. Set your girl off in a striking solid, like this exquisitely detailed La Perla bodysuit.Pair with an opulent lace shrug – long sleeves wreathed in black lace will a) hide the eldritch tattoos which reveal the bargains you made for your power and b) contrast with her bare skin.Here’s something that never goes out of style: LEGS. Show yours off in an absolutely gorgeous barely-there Rosamosario maxi, a train that drags behind you like the fragrant smoke of your passage.Keep your accessories minimal, but powerful. These jet and diamond earrings from Bochic are $24K worth of pure aura amplification.Killer black batwing-detail booties by Jeffery Campbell are a nod to your true nature.For Her: showy accessories might seem counterintuitive when you’re trying to highlight a sexy little piece of lace — but actually, a flowing cape can work the same way curtains do on a stage, framing and showing off the action. This one, Frankensteined together from a River Island shoulder harness, BCBG metal fringe epaulettes, a feather cape bolero by Phase Eight and this gorgeous Daniele Carlotta cape in sheer georgette — will remind the viewer that its wearer is a daughter of Hecate and a witch-queen in her own glorious right, while also bringing the focus to the exquisite detail of what she’s wearing.And what she’s wearing is stunning: the Demelza bra and garter belt by Agent Provocateur, a vision in silky mesh with whispers of opulent lace. Your editors chose not to pair these with the matching undies, for the simple reason that we think the set’s strong Art Deco lines and boudoir/bondage contrasts are better set off with this cage panty by Kiki de Montparnasse. “Why would Agent Provocateur, Kiki de Montparnasse and La Perla be on the same runway??” Um, wow, you sure do have a lot of questions! Maybe you should have your own blog!!As above, so below: echo the look with sheer silk thigh-highs and a pair of Jimmy Choo “Vantage” sandals in velvet and lace.At the end of the performance, join hands to unite your disparate powers and flood the Earls Court Exhibition Centre with a wash of wild, howling magic, women’s magic, all crystal and black roses and the soft, seductive, inexorable press of dream. That’s how it works, sister of darkness. That’s how you get the girl.Phase Eight black cape, $155 / Jane Norman black shrug, $39 / Daniele Carlotta sheer cape / Rosamosario black skirt / La Perla intimate / Agent Provocateur garter belt, $260 / Kiki de Montparnasse black lingerie / Agent Provocateur bra, $195 / Black shrug, $1,345 / Jeffrey Campbell black pumps / Jimmy Choo shoes / River Island jewelry, $63 / J Crew retro jewelry / Bochic diamond jewelry / BCBGMAXAZRIA Metal Mesh Epaulets -- source link
