The hair/make up

Rebecca Gonsalves: The former queen of the pixie cut continues to shine, follically, with an artfully messy bun and a million kirby grips.

Hugh Montgomery: Messy, but also not-messing. It's almost a paradox.

The skirt

Rebecca: An interesting bit of origami around the waist balances out the plain white vest, providing a clear smart/casual border.

Hugh: Or to put it another way, ruffles have rarely been this fashionable.

The top

Rebecca: Euro 2006 era WAGs rejoice, the lacy-lingerie-peeking-over-a-scoop-neckline-look has returned.

Hugh: The danger with a white vest is food spills: one minute you're all simple elegance, the next you're Onslow from 'Keeping up Appearances'.

The shoes

Rebecca: A bit bondage, a bit gladiator, a bit too exposed for New York in February. Frostbite does not need to make a comeback.

Hugh: Yes, and circulation is an all-too-rarely discussed issue vis-à-vis awards season.
