What Was She Wearing: Answers/September 18th

If you've been yearning to know what Keira Knightley wore to David Letterman last week or who designed Kate Bosworth's fantastic new pants, the wait is over, dear readers! Read on for these details, and many more, in the latest edition of What Was She Wearing: Answers! All we ask for in return is that you keep the inquiries coming!



Emma Roberts
If you are a frequent visitor to WhoWhatWear.com, you'll notice that the lovely Miss Emma Roberts is now appearing in stories on a regular basis, thanks to her darling ensembles. Our readers seem to have noticed her recent wardrobe upgrade and we're receiving Roberts-focused outfit requests left and right. As always, we happily researched the details, specifically regarding what she wore on Day Three at New York City's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Clad in Current/Elliott Skinny Slouch Jeans ($215), Theory's Bram Tankicon ($55), Tracy Reese's Regalia Cardigan ($215), Fendi's T-Strap Bubble Platforms ($755), and a Balenciaga Day Bag ($995), Roberts collected envy from every angle. If you are looking for her shoes in black, visit the Fendi Store in New York (212.644.1879) or contemplate the very similar Fendi T-Strap Double Platforms ($655) available online. You can buy her handbag in a slightly larger size and different color online ($1295), otherwise, contact the Balenciaga Boutique in LA (310.854.0557) to order her exact one. To turn heads for less, exchange Roberts' purse and pumps for Anthropologie's Overcast Bag ($198) and Steven by Steve Madden's Justyne T-Strap Pumps ($150).

Keira Knightley
Whether she's on the movie screen or the red carpet, Keira Knightley is always one to watch. We are particularly captivated by her clothing, of course, and take delight in her promotional appearances for her new film, The Duchess. (The publicity tour gives us the perfect chance to style stalk!) Last week, Knightley appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman wearing 3.1 Phillip Lim's Asymmetrical Double Fan Cocktail Dress ($650, 212.334.1160 for blue), Wren's Christine Contrast Lined Blazer ($445, 310.458.6365), Gina's India Heels ($605), a Bulgari Round Brilliant Cut Diamond Ring (price upon request, 212.717.2300), and a Prada Messenger bag. Her bag is from a few seasons ago and is no longer available, but we think Coach's City Bag ($278) is a fitting substitute. You may also be interested in swapping out her shoes for a pair that have a friendlier price tag, like Steve Madden's Elaa Pumps ($80).

Kate Bosworth
Your WhoWhatWear.com editors always look to Kate Bosworth for fashion inspiration and she never lets us down. You seem to track her footsteps as much as we do, because the moment she steps out the door, our inboxes fill with questions! Last month, Bosworth left her dinner date at One Sunset in West Hollywood wearing Topshop's Ice Wash Denim Jacket ($80), a Sportsgirl Top, Miu Miu Sandals, and a Calvin Klein Scarf. We adore her entire ensemble, but we're most taken with her Citizens of Humanity Birkin Ankle Length Pants ($135). These jeans are made of 99% cotton and 1% spandex, so they will flatter a wide range of figures. Sadly, Bosworth's top, scarf, and shoes are sold out, but take comfort in Rampage's Mixed Print Chiffon Blouse ($48), Love Quotes' Italian Linen Scarf ($85), and Dolce Vita's Aegean Sandal ($80) as ideal alternatives.

Rihanna
Just as we were blown away with Rihanna's double performance at MTV's VMA Awards, we are consistently impressed by her personal wardrobe. A few weeks ago, our readers sent in inquiries for the sophisticated, professional get-up she wore post-Fashion Rocks rehearsal in New York. Rihanna tucked a body-conscious top (we suggest Blue Life's Best Tank Ever, $48) into Leyendecker's Doubleknit Seamed Mini Skirt ($220) and polished the look with an Elizabeth & James Emerson Blazer ($395), Calvin Klein Sunglasses, and Christian Louboutin's Simple 100 Pumpsicon ($575). Finally, if you are in need of some shades similar to Rihanna's, check out 3.1 Phillip Lim's Margo Frames ($225) or Forever 21's Retro Sunglasses ($6).—Jessica Amento

I will be dreaming of Emma Watson's sweater at night

Posted by: Dana |  2008-09-26 03:31:33

Well, I like Kate's outfit minus the scarf.

i love emma's sweater, and her entire outfit is age/season appropriate. i like keira's dress, though i don't think the loose-fitting blazer accents it well. kate's outfit is nothing new, and i think that rihanna's hair has gotten way too short, but i think the clean lines and colors of her oufit are great

Posted by: mgm |  2008-09-18 21:14:02

This is by far one of my favorite posts! I love all of the outfits, especially what Emma Roberts is wearing!

Posted by: Lauren |  2008-09-18 20:48:22

kate's outfit is hideous! and i am already tired of reading about the blazer trend. i mean, it has obviously taken hold, so let's talk about something else already.

Keira looks stunning, there should be much more of her on WWWD. :) Emma's cardie is also great.

I love what Keira is wearing! And Emma's sweater is really cute.

Keira is so gorgeous!

Posted by: ana |  2008-09-18 08:44:06

And yes, the Philip, Lim dress is fantastic. I love the ruching off to one side, and pairing the dress with the blazer turns a summery dress into a fanastic fall outfit!!

Posted by: Reesie |  2008-09-18 07:30:23

What a cut way Emma decided to button her sweater! I almost mistaked it for a blazer at first! Almost Balenciaga-esque. No?:)

Posted by: Reesie |  2008-09-18 07:28:33

I really like kate's outfit. I love the pink scarf and her hair looks amazing.

Posted by: amy |  2008-09-18 07:18:32

Love all the outfits! Especially Emma's sweater and Keira's dress.

Posted by: Steph |  2008-09-18 06:23:28

I like Rihanna's outfit, it's very simple but it works...

Posted by: Lo |  2008-09-18 05:54:25

Is Rihanna actually the most decent one posted? It's a cold day somewhere.
