All the best celebrity fashion from the red carpet, step and repeats and (if you’re Brooke Shields) the stage door.
“Great gowns, beautiful gowns” is the mandate this week. From film premieres to a plethora of galas there’s been a lot going on.
What caught our eye this week? Fab frocks, funky purples and some designer deep cuts from Laverne Cox’s archive.
Beyoncé
Lately she’s been dressing less Cowboy Carter and more Casino; the T-shirt and formal skirt are certainly giving Sharon Stone vibes. Beyoncé is looking very butter-wouldn’t-melt in this Sergio Hudson look – she added a faux-fur stole, camel coat and frame-less sunglasses later.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Andy Cohen and Amy Sedaris
Amy’s wearing Molly Goddard (cute), SJP is in Oscar de la Renta (classic), and they’re all at New York City Ballet’s Fall Fashion Gala.

Emma Stone
Some gorgeous Louis Vuitton on Emma Stone at the New York Film Festival. While we so often see structure and sculptural propositions from Nicolas Ghesquiere, he really does flowy frocks so well too.
Bianca Jagger
Honestly, who else could look this good leaning on a wall?
Harris Dickinson, Steve McQueen, Saoirse Ronan, Elliott Heffernan and Paul Weller
Great lineup: they’re all in London for the premiere of McQueen’s new film Blitz (which is meant to be brilliant). The tyke-sized Thom Browne suit is too good, and Saoirse Ronan has been working with super-stylist Danielle Goldberg recently, so keep an eye on her red carpet strategy.

Sheila Atim
Also wearing Prada this week was Sheila. The fabric, the zips, the structure – brilliant.
Pamela Anderson
So sumptuous! No one wears pink better than Pammy, it’s part of her style canon, and this ensemble almost has an old-Hollywood, debutante-y tenor to it. She’s at the Zurich Film Festival promoting her new film The Last Showgirl and quite literally glowing; and why wouldn’t she be, riding high off the great press and her recent win at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards.
Laverne Cox
Never one to phone it in, Laverne looks sensational. The volume, print and sculptural adornments – not to mention gloves – makes for an artful execution. It’s all pulled from her own archives; the dress is 1990 Paco Rabanne, the necklace is a Pierre Cardin piece from 1969, and the hair piece is Lanvin by Claude Montana (also from 1990).
Nicola Coughlan
Beautiful neckline on Nicola this week. It’s courtesy of Dior, a custom gown for the Time gala.
Brooke Shields
Fun frock!
