Traditionally, we have collected the best images of the stars of the past week - from premieres, fashion shows and other social events. Russian designer Nikolay Krasnikov, a graduate of the Fashion Laboratory of Slava Zaitsev, who produces clothes under the personal brand Nikolay Krasnikov, helped us to evaluate them.

Jessica Alba

For the NCLR ALMA Awards, actress Jessica Alba chose a very effective look based on a combination of textures. She wore a crisp white JC Obando chiffon blouse and a shimmery long skirt with a train from the same brand. The image was completed by romantic loose curls and rather aggressive, albeit elegant accessories - rings and a clutch.

Nikolay's comment:

Red carpet clothing option. It is perfect for going out. We see that there is a contrast not only in colors, but also in textures and details - a rather unusual combination for these cases. In general, this is a romantic image, which absolutely everything says: loose hair with the ombre effect so fashionable this season, smoothly flowing lines of a silk blouse with flirty bows on the cuffs of the sleeves, a shiny skirt with a train. The high waistline of the skirt, emphasizing the seductive curves of the figure and visually lengthening the legs of our heroine, gives a particularly solemn effect to the outfit, which is further emphasized by the shimmering texture of the fabric of the skirt, cut along the side. This image takes us to the era of the Hollywood goddesses of the 30s, when Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth dominated the screens of the world.

Naomi Campbell

At the press lunch of her show The Face, supermodel Naomi Campbell appeared in a very spectacular outfit - a boiling white suit from Alexander McQueen, which perfectly emphasized her figure. Contrasting the suit are black suede stiletto heels from Azzedine Alaia.

Nikolay's comment:

A very fashionable and hypersexual image, but not devoid of elegance. The impression is enhanced by the dramatic contrast of the suit's all-white color with the dark skin of the Black Panther. Quite a bold choice in terms of color. The super-fitted silhouette and sharp cut lines accentuate her flawless figure. Despite the fact that the ensemble at first glance seems to be classic, the presence of interesting details in the form of a peplum cut "along the side" and a collar called "apache", which is very fashionable this season, give it freshness and sharpness.

Eva Mendes

The image of Eva Mendes, which she chose to participate in the TV show in New York, is simple but beautiful. The actress wore a shirt-cut Pia Praire dress with a flared skirt. Sharp Bionda Castana shoes match the dress, and oversized glasses lend a retro touch to the outfit.

Nikolay's comment:

For the last 10-15 years, the concept of “set” dominated in fashion - a combination of several contrasting colors and textures in one image. Now, finally, the concept of "ensemble" is coming back into fashion, when the whole image is kept in a single color scheme, which we see in this example. The image is quite laconic, feminine and flirty. It takes us back to the heyday of haute couture - the era of Christian Dior, the creator of the new look style. Everything in the outfit speaks about it: the silhouette of the dress, and the print with polka dots, and the interesting shape of the glasses "cat's eye", so fashionable at that time. Slightly carelessly tucked sleeves of a dress and a hairstyle with the effect of tousled curls give the look a modernity.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale knows how to look spectacular without any extra effort, and at the same time emphasize her slender figure. At the evening of the Eva Longoria charity foundation, the actress appeared in a Helmut Lang trouser suit - but not a classic one. She chose very narrow trousers, but the jacket, on the contrary, is wide, with asymmetrical floors. It is impossible not to pay attention to the shoes of the star - "Louboutins" in fuchsia with spikes on the toes.

Nikolay's comment:

60-70 years ago, women borrowed trousers and a jacket from a men's wardrobe and still successfully use this catch, which is confirmed by this example. A classic single-breasted jacket of a straight silhouette in combination with narrow cropped trousers is, in my opinion, a win-win and versatile option. Initially, the male version of clothing softens and harmonizes perfectly with feminine details, such as loose wavy curls, a cropped jacket sleeve and fuchsia-colored shoes (so beloved by our young ladies).

But our heroine went further, she not only seized a part of their wardrobe from men, but also claims the title of a woman warrior, which is eloquently indicated by the golden spikes on the capes of her shoes.

Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo is a regular at fashion shows. She was spotted in Paris at the Elie Saab catwalk. Her image was, as always, harmonious. The girl chose a silk Elie Saab blouse with a colorful print, a fitted Nina Ricci jacket, similar to a military uniform, only more feminine, and skinny leather trousers. As accessories, Gianvitto Rossi shoes and a shoulder bag from Chloe.

Nikolay's comment:

Very modern, democratic bow. At first glance, this is a rather simple image, but if you look at it in more detail, you pay attention to the thoughtful selection of details, accessories and combinations of textures. There is a trendy mix that is typical for this season - leather and silk. This is a rather feminine image, but with elements of drama - extravagant gold accessories on the bag and jacket clasp.
