Yay, Nay, or Eh: Posh or Potter?

partner


Of the bevy of paparazzi darlings—Mary-Kate Olsen, Freida Pinto, Alexa Chung—who turned up at Burberry to close out London fashion week on a high note, few drew the flashbulbs like Victoria Beckham and Emma Watson. The two Brits worked radically different frocks. Posh was prim and ladylike in a black Spring 2010 look from her eponymous collection, while Watson looked every inch the fun-loving college frosh in a shimmery custom Burberry Prorsum minidress. We’re partial to the Harry Potter star’s attire. Not only did she shine (literally), but the festive outfit likely looked just right as the metallic confetti poured from the rafters at the close of the show. What do you think? Is it better to play it cool à la Vicky B., or is Hermione’s sparkle an ideal front-row look?

    OH my goodness!! The style of that black dress is so CLASSY!! I love fun too, but I don't really think Emma Watson's outfit was appropriate-you don't have to flash your body to look beautiful. I personally love that form fitting cut of the dress, and the skirt, the way it "splays" for a lack of a much better word. It's just lovely! I wouldn't have chosen black though and a different neckline might have looked better on me personally.
