What Was She Wearing: Answers/July 10th

In this edition of What Was She Wearing, you'll find yet another round up of starlets with impeccable taste and refreshing outlooks—clothing-wise at least! We have the details of where they found their winning apparel, ranging from London's Portobello Road Market to the vintage boutique Coquette in Los Angeles.



Peaches Geldof
Peaches Geldof caught your attention last month when she was spotted strolling through central London wearing a number of appealing outfit pieces. It pleases us to report that Geldof's attire is all within a modest price range. Both her Red Floral Print Dress ($24) and Black Patent Flats ($12) are from London's Primark and she covered up with a budget-friendly sweater from Topshop. Her specific cardigan already sold out, but there are other basic options available now, or you can check out Banana Republic’s Crewneck Cardigan ($69) in Gray Heather. Geldof completed her look with an awesome antique scarf from the Portobello Road Market. We encourage market hunting to find your own unique pieces or browse PRM’s virtual version at PretAPortobello. We also recommend Lucky Brand Jeans’ Summer Tapestry Scarf ($58) in green as another neckwear possibility.

Mary-Kate Olsen
The Sisters Olsen are a constant curiosity trigger for you fashion gurus, but it was Mary-Kate who most recently piqued your interest. Specifically, you wanted to know what in the world she wore to the after party for her new film The Wackness in New York City two weeks ago. Wonder no more, dear readers, for Olsen wore a superb Emilio Pucci vintage number that she purchased from Coquette. For a similar look to MK's, we would accessorize Jovovich-Hawk's Belinda Floral Dress ($395) with Kooba's Metallic Ciel Gathered Bag ($495) and Nuovegioie's Hammered Circle Double Chain Bracelet ($256). It is also worth noting that Miss Olsen had on a pair of Christian Louboutin's Very Prive Platform Pumps in black crocodile. We also found some less pricy options for you: try Kate Spade’s Georgia Patent Croc Pump ($328) or Casadei’s Peep Toe Pump ($253).

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Many of you sent questions about the garments Sarah Michelle Gellar wore on a recent outing in NYC. Her flowy green dress is from 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring 2007 Collection, and thus no longer available, but we think Forever 21's Spring Flower Chiffon Dress ($20) has a similar summery feeling. Gellar put some polish on her relaxed ensemble by adding a Helen Ficalora gold necklace with an assortment of charms ($115-$450). To finish achieving her look, go for some cute sandals like Nine West's Jovialgrin Flats ($63).

Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller is a most-cherished influence on our site, as we can always rely on her to inspire our readers with her dressing expertise. Seen here waiting at a bus stop in London last month, Miller modeled the Elouise Pinafore Dress ($245, Diavolina 310.550.1341) from her own Twenty8Twelve line and a vintage pair of Vivienne Westwood boots. As alternatives, we like Jeffrey Campbell's Canvas Strap Boots ($70) and a James Perse Cropped Linen Jacket ($295) to finish the look.—Jessica Amento, additional reporting by Cory Goldstein and Ashley Nachum

I love Peaches MK and Sienna, fun and different. Something about SMG's dress doesn't work. Maybe in person she looks cute and kind of blends in with the crowd, but it's boring to me. I like long summer dresses but this looks like she bought it from the big and tall store. I love Sienna's shoes.

I absolutely love MK's outfit: It is so effortless, and chic. And to everyone who is a primark snob:doesn't peaches outfit show that class isn't necessarily pricey. It looks great regardless of the price. www.BirdieBlueSkies.blogspot.com

I like peaches outfit...as for the differing opinions on primark-- primark does have some cute things and i have no problem with cheap clothes- you should see me in a sale!! but i always feel that im going to see someone else in it... not getting too excited bout the other outfits..x

i agree with you runaway, peaches is sweet, sienna looks homeless. x

I like Peaches best. I love that you've chosen someone with affordable style. Although she looks like she's spent 45 minutes in a mistic tan booth. And sienna, who i regularly adore, looks like a hot mess. sad. www.RUnawaygallery.com

MK's dress is so cute. The color scheme is fascinating. And Sienna looks way to overdone in a very sloppy way! I hate her boots. Check out my fashion blog at http://colormenana.blogspot.com

I love the Peaches dress.. can you even buy Primark in the U.S.? I tried going to the site, doesn't seem to be leading me anywhere..

Ugh, Sienna looks dreadful, so unflattering! Bored of Peaches...sorry!

        Posted by: disneyrollergir  |  2008-07-10 12:07:20

I think Sienna's outfit looks a little dumpy. Though I like her stetson. MK looks cute, though those twins are looking like they've been put through the wringer lately...layoff the sharpie (i mean eyeliner) a bit! Visit my tribute to Eurythmics today: http://luvvy-luvvy.blogspot.com/

This is one of the best What Was She Wearing this site has had! I love all the ladies looks, though I could do without Peaches.

        Posted by: Lauren  |  2008-07-10 10:26:36

Purely chic. I love it when Celebs are in vintage. (my *diary-fashion* blog) http://fashionchalet.blogspot.com

I love these ladies...laid back cool always looks great...check out FreePeople.com for new summer sale!

        Posted by: Megan  |  2008-07-10 09:24:20

I think Peaches's dress is Kate Moss for Topshop, not Primark. It looks like the dress that everyone went bonkers for in London???

        Posted by: Alex  |  2008-07-10 09:14:47

MK looks lovely, I am just wondering which reader asked about the basic Loubies? While she's not too daring, SMG always looks pretty. Poor Sienna needs to remove an accessory or three.

        Posted by: MEP  |  2008-07-10 08:01:05

I think Peaches looks great, does it realy matter where something is from or how much it costs if it looks good and you wear it right? I dont think it does!

        Posted by: Jacqui  |  2008-07-10 07:11:18

what happened to the tv episodes? I liked them..

        Posted by: Ana  |  2008-07-10 04:48:07

nice outfits, photo of sienna unflattering, she looks like a man. mary kates dress is so nice.

        Posted by: foxcee  |  2008-07-10 03:38:01

ha oh my god Peaches is so awful, Primark? its barely worth a mention

        Posted by: elle  |  2008-07-10 02:34:40

i love peachessssss!

        Posted by: redlipshotstuff  |  2008-07-10 01:02:44

I have been searching for those Vivienne Westwood strap boots that Sienna was wearing forever. I absolutely adore them!!!

        Posted by: Kelly  |  2008-07-10 00:53:27

I love all the girls outfits - especially Peaches! - but I think that Sienna would have looked better with a different shoe.
