I think she looks lovely. The outfit works really well. xx

Liking the outfit from the Topshop show, I agree about the sequins though, too much going on, she should have gone for plainer black shorts, in love with those boots though!

Olivia Palermo reveals her style rules to Grazia!


Imagine our delight at finally colliding with New York style goddess Olivia Palermo at this afternoon’s Unique show (she was wearing Topshop’s Ultimate Jewelled trophy jacket and some black beaded silk shorts, since you ask). And then imagine how we felt when she told us ‘Oh, I know your magazine! I love Grazia!’ Today was a good day, people.

Olivia was very sweet and polite and friendly, and super-excited about seeing the Unique show. ‘I am the world’s biggest Topshop fan! Seriously, for the last few months I have worn Topshop every single day..’

So, given a few snatched minutes with our fashion icon du jour before the show started, what did Grazia ask her? Only her frickin’ Style Rules! Listen and learn, ladies..

Olivia's Style Rules

1. In every outfit, I always try and incorporate a single trend, but in a subtle way.

2. I would describe my style as modern, but classic.

3. I always like to wear one very structured piece, like a great jacket or a skirt.

4. For next season I like the look of all the embellished clothes, and those copper-toned metallics, although not everyone can pull that off…

5. You don’t always have to stay high end – I like mixing and matching.

6. My favourite item of clothing right now is a Topshop white cardigan with a pale blue pinstripe; it’s so easy to wear.

7. My favourite accessory is my Chloe ‘Gemma’ bag, which I bought in London in July. I have it in army green. That’s such a great colour because it works for summer or winter.

8. My favourite jewellery? I like chunky! I like to wear one big statement piece, a ring, a bracelet or a necklace. But I mostly like big rings [she flashes an enormous gold cocktail ring – Olivia has just started working as Contributing Accessories Editor at an American magazine].

9. I like to wear a heel, I just got some chunky black platforms that you’ll see in the Unique show..

10. One great piece can take you through an entire season. Like, recently, I bought these Sergio Rossi silver brogues [Grazia squeals involuntarily at the mention of our Best Olivia Palermo Fashion Moment Ever]. Ha ha, you liked those? I love those shoes, I bought them in Berlin, they’re absolutely my favourite thing right now!

And with that our new BFF was whisked away to the Front Row, leaving Grazia utterly smitten….

It's like part "rules" and part "here's what I like..."

 

[VivaciousCohen]

Those brogues!! me too!

 

[RandomGlitter]

That look at the Topshop show has to be one of her worst It so doesn't flatter her!!

 

[MissyJG]

i love that second outfit!

 

[rollagasper]

Cool, so I guess she is the "accessories editor" at Elle. Can't wait for the new season of The City!

 

[MissyJG]

again, 2nd one has too much glitter. That first one is cute! I wanna see her shoes!

 

[NakedIfIWantTo]

love both.

btw, I don't get to watch The City where I am, so I wonder how she's like as a person?
I imagined her to be quite uptight and all, considering how she's always dressed to the nines, no?

 

[Scarlet_Ohara]

i realy like her style and i think she's very pretty but somehow i cant like this girl... is it just me?

 

[shoegal87]

I must admit she's right about the Chloe Gemma, it's a gorgeous bag! I tried it on last week and fall in love with it!

 

[Sagowska]

I really love this Topshop blazer, I have had an eye on it for some time, but it's just so ridiculously expensive. It retails for $410 sigh

I like this outfit from the waist up, I don't like the shorts and the shoes. Her face looks pretty.

I like this outfit.

 

[helen-rox]

^ me too but I think she should have gone with different shoes

 

[Ciao!Manhattan]

She looks fabulous at the Topshop runway, imo. Don't like too much the shoes with it, thus.
