This summer, the little white lace dress looks set to be a bit of a hit. It has a post-royal wedding thing going on, plus high-end labels such as Dolce & Gabbana put them on their spring runways. Of course, Chloë Sevigny does fashion but very much to the beat of her own fabulous drum. Here, she’s given the delicate lace a big old kick up the butt via some stomping lace-up platforms. As she chose this look for a Chanel bash, her handbag and lipstick were naturally by the French house. Extra points awarded for the severe hair and cross-body bag styling – much cooler than a boring old necklace. Photograph: Gary Gershoff/WireImage
If you’re not into dresses, news that many designers are thinking separates next season will be most welcome. Get into the spirit now with this knee-length stretch pencil skirt by Club Monaco. It’s minimalist and would look divine with a silk blouse.

Ironic glasses have reached their peak. Now it’s time to don a pair of Gregory Peck specs, as designed by Oliver Peoples in honour of the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird, which starred Peck. The actor’s son Anthony had kept the original pair of frames his father wore as Atticus Finch and, as a fan of the glasses brand, asked the company to create a modern take on the look. They come in four classy shades and add an instant lick of courtroom braininess.
