^She looks wonderful, I love the striped outfit and the veils/netting she's been wearing are beautiful...though perhaps with a sad meaning behind them.

No problem, it's a lovely profile shot isn't it? Thanks for the Interview party photos, I love the jewellery and the black ribbon around her neck.
 
Re the picture below: Oh no! Duckface?!


She's in NYT talking about the striped dress below. It was straight from the 2010FW collection:

Daphne Guinness, who has given inspiration and friendship to several designers, may have snared the best look in L’Wren Scott’s fall collection, a pert-collar minidress in teal-and-pearl gray satin stripes.
Ms. Guinness, actually a guest at the designer’s show and not on the catwalk, finished off the look as only she could: with a flock of diamond brooches on her shoulder and sparkly blue fetish platforms. Ms. Scott thought the dress would stick out like a sore thumb in her lineup, so she let Ms. Guinness wear it. The dress still had its day.
Things are done a little differently down at Ms. Scott’s place, which is really the Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea. There is the main event — the collection, which, like all her collections, she gave a name: “Tuxedo Terrace.” In doing so, she put her finger on a weak point in fashion. Today formality doesn’t mean pomp and circumstance, but neither should it be lumps of bad taffeta.
It is, in fact, good tailoring, whether a black cutaway over a slim black beaded skirt, a midnight-navy velvet jacket, or one of Ms. Scott’s figure-loving wool dresses. She just makes sure she is in charge. It’s not for nothing that every season she offers a new version of her headmistress dress. This time she has a high-neck white shirt and a black pencil skirt with sexy straps.
Ms. Scott’s shows are also unusual in that between her and her boyfriend, Mick Jagger, they know a lot of famous people, like Ms. Guinness or the “Mad Men” actress Christina Hendricks or Ellen Barkin, but as a matter of course. The celebrities are not put into what amounts to a pen so the photographers can get their shot. They are seated with everyone else, journalists and editors, at a long white table and served lunch.
This arrangement is not incidental to Ms. Scott’s design purposes. Even the most glamorous eye-popping dress has to relate to something real if it is to be considered modern. She helps to break down those barriers. So Ms. Guinness throws new light on satin stripes. Ms. Scott, perhaps too calm and cool this season, might have had more choices like that. The knits she has added to her line, in particular a short black drape-y dress with silver embroidery up one side, were tops.

In that video from The Telegraph newspaper, I was particularly struck by a phrase she used with regards to McQueen: "living life in a minor key". It's a beautiful way to reference depression.
 
I love that she's returned to her old, regal self. She looks stunning in all the latest pics!

And no trashy candids with Zane!
 
Daphne Guinness Explains Her New Love of Veils

On Friday night, Daphne Guinness attended the premiere of Peter McGough's short Mean to Me, in which Agyness Deyn appears. Guinness wore a black veil, a look we've seen a lot from her lately. "I started wearing veils like four weeks ago. It's great. It's less pretentious than sunglasses, but it's just like you don't have to wear any makeup, all you have to do is tie a piece of tulle around your head.," she explained. "It gives you that slight distance from things. Everything's a bit grainy, like a super-eight film. Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them. It's very funny because another friend of mine completely independently said, 'Oh my God, I've been going through a veil thing, too.'''
That friend is not Lady Gaga, she confirmed. Guinness buys pieces of tulle and makes the veils herself, but she has no plans to sell them. "No! I'm not that commercial person. Are you kidding?" she said. "I mean, come on, fashion kills. It should have a health warning, definitely." We asked how she's holding up since the loss of her friend Alexander McQueen, and Guinness seemed to tear up behind that veil. "I just can't believe I'm never going to see him again."

LOVE it. Shes been great this fashion month. But its still so heartbreaking about McQueen. She makes me want to be brave enough to wear all my veiled hats out I have so many of them but I just have most of them as decoration.
 
I have to say she's has been looking really stunning lately :heart:.

Her outfits have been some of her best and I love her use of veils. I like them even more now knowing that she makes them herself. But you can still see the heartbreak in her eyes. I'm surprised at how well she's been holding up, well at least in the public eye.
 
^I agree, the veils are so beautiful with the rest of her look, especially with the streaked hair.
