Who: Natalia Vodianova.
When: Wednesday, July 6.
Where: The Fondation Louis Vuitton Love Ball.
What: A red, black, and white color-blocked Louis Vuitton Cruise 2017 dress with sparkly sandals and an embellished clutch.
Why: Between the slashes of black across the bodice, the geometric color-blocking detail, and the red-and-white checked sleeve (and coordinating gem-encrusted cuff), this design gives off serious racetrack vibes. Which is to say, sporty and fresh, a counterpoint to the über-feminine, ruffly ensembles she frequently opts for. It strikes the perfect balance between mini dress and maxi dress — with her dramatic asymmetrical hem, Vodianova gets to have it both ways.
