Rounding out her 2018 fashion week sojourn (from the Spring Summer Haute-Couture’s to the Autumn Winter ready-to-wears), socialite and winner of World’s Most Covetable Wardrobe Olivia Palermo did, once again, not disappoint in the style stakes.
Since her 2008 beginnings as Whitney Port’s snappy and snooty colleague in cult reality series The City, Palermo’s persona has substantially evolved. She and Port were rivals in the fast-paced offices of Diane Von Furstenberg, with her innate classic-meets-trend-setter style emerging as a character all of its own. She (and her enviable threads) became the one to watch, and this gravitation continued to gather momentum long after series ended.
Out on her own, Palermo is arguably one of the original street style stars. Successful paparazzi fodder every time she rushes up the streets of Paris, Milan and New York on her way to the front row.
So what is it that makes her just so sensational and worthy of every fashion Pinterest board ever? Perhaps it’s the fact she’s not afraid to take risks, wearing colours, crops and textures you might not expect. Or perhaps it’s that when she endorses a new trend, she makes it her own, styling, tucking and keeping it cool. She wears the clothes, they don’t wear her.
