10 Best Dressed: Week of April 23, 2018

For the world’s most stylish last week was a tale of two silhouettes: long and liquid, or power-shouldered and suited. From Charlize Theron’s butterfly-emblazoned dress by Christian Dior to Michelle Williams’s discreetly sexy number from Louis Vuitton, the fashion message from the carpet was that grown-up glamour is floor-length, non-froufrou and looks terrific even with a sneaker (Adwoa Aboah in Emory Bee). Then there were the youngish trousered ladies who went wild for slick suiting with vintage vibes: Saoirse Ronan in neo-’90s Michael Kors, Lily James in ’80s oversize Burberry, and Dua Lipa in a throwback/throw-down lipstick-red Versace. Smart and straightforward: no better buzzwords for women this spring!
