Introduction
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may be a supermodel, actress, and businesswoman, but she is also our party dress role model. Last night, the 35-year-old hosted an event celebrating the launch of her new RUST H W collection with Marks & Spencer. The actress, supermodel, and businesswoman tends to dress in a more minimalistic style as we saw at the launch of her new RUST H W collection with Marks & Spencer. This time, she opted for a wrap-around satin dress by Brock Collection (a brand she has been wearing non-stop lately), paired with strappy heels from her own shoe brand Paige, proving once again that you don’t need much to look good. Here’s some styling inspiration from this celebrity that you can use for your next big occasion:
Your First Instinct Reach for a Super
You know when you get invited to a party or event and your first instinct is to reach for a super sexy gown? Well, Rosie does things differently. She knows when the occasion calls for something more demure and elegant. The British model/actress is known for her simple yet stylish wardrobe choices, which have earned her the title of fashion editor-in-chief at Elle UK’s Hemingway magazine.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Rosie revealed that she sometimes spends hours looking through designers’ collections before choosing an outfit that will complement the overall theme of any given party or gathering and it pays off!
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a Fashion Inspo
As you may know, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a style icon. She has made her name in the fashion industry with her sleek and understated sense of style, and she’s become famous for it.
However, it’s not just Rosie’s ability to wear clothes that make her an ideal role model it’s also her personality. She has a great sense of humor and seems down to earth despite being one of the most famous women in the world; she’s also incredibly modest, which makes us admire her even more.
With that in mind, here are five ways that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is our inspo for such occasions:
- She knows how to dress up without looking like she’s trying too hard (or wearing heels).
- She knows how to work with what she’s got (and flatter whatever body type).
Minimalistic Style
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a master of minimalist party dressing. The actress, supermodel, and businesswoman tend to dress in a more minimalistic style, favoring simple shapes and clean lines over embellishment. This is most apparent when it comes to her choice of the silhouette for eveningwear: she often opts for ladylike gowns that are fitted at the waist and flare out from there into a full skirt. She also loves taking inspiration from LBDs in terms of color palette her favorite shade seems to be black (perhaps because it goes with everything), but she’ll occasionally mix things up with an elegant white gown or something else that’s neutral and stylish.
RUST H W Collection with Marks & Spencer
If you’re not familiar with the Brock Collection, it’s a British label founded by fashion designer Amanda Louise Brock. The launch of her new RUST H W collection with Marks & Spencer was a perfect opportunity for Rosie to showcase the brand’s signature dress style: elegant and understated.
She paired her wrap-around satin dress from Brock Collection with strappy heels from her shoe brand Paige because who doesn’t look good in a pair of those? To complete the look, she added an opulent clutch by Anya Hindmarch and kept her hair loose for a relaxed vibe.
Brock Collection
- Here’s how you can wear the look:
- It’s all about the material, and this dress is made of luxurious satin that has a slight sheen to it.
- The wrap-around style makes it easy to put on. The longer you wear it, the more your waist will appear slimmer! But beware: if you don’t want to show off any cleavage, make sure you double knot or triple knot this dress at your neckline (that way no one will be able to see it down past your chest).
- Wear nude heels with this ensemble; they’ll keep things looking sleek instead of distracting from all those curves!
Shoe Brand Paige
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a master of minimalist party dressing. But it’s more than just the fact that she’s mastered the art of looking good in strappy sandals and bodycon dresses, as she has been wearing non-stop lately. The model knows how to dress for a party, and by extension, be comfortable and stylish at the same time.
The star recently wore her own shoe brand Paige at last night’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show afterparty in New York City. She paired the brand with one of her favorite types of party wear: a simple black jumpsuit (a staple piece in any woman’s closet). She accessorized with some chunky earrings and let her hair down in loose waves a look that was effortlessly pulled together without being too overdone or overthought.
As with any style of dressing, there are a few elements that you can use to elevate your minimalist party look. These include mixing and matching items, adding a statement piece or accessory, and playing with proportion to create an interesting silhouette.
You can make a statement by playing with proportions by combining different parts of your outfit. For example, if you’re wearing something sleeveless or strappy on top, try adding a long cardigan or blazer for balance (as seen here). Or try wearing short shorts with tall boots for added height (as seen here).
If you have trouble pulling off this kind of look because it’s too much for your body type or if you just don’t have access to anything but basic pieces then consider adding in one item from outside of the box: A pair of sneakers instead of heels; an oversized coat instead of a dress; or even just some statement jewelry instead!
Huntington-Whiteley Sure Knows How to Throw a Good Party and Dress for it!
Whether you’re attending a pool party, a cocktail hour, or an upscale soiree, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley knows how to dress for the occasion. This is thanks not just to her style which she’s honed over years of experience but also to her ability to navigate a spectrum of social environments and know when she should be dressed differently than if she were in another setting.
Here’s what we’ve learned about Huntington-Whiteley’s masterful ability:
- She dresses for her body shape. Huntington-Whiteley has long been celebrated for her curvy figure, which means that while some women might feel insecure in form-fitting dresses or suits that highlight their curves (or lack thereof), this model always looks amazing! It can sometimes be difficult to tell whether the outfit was made with her body type in mind first or whether it was tailored specifically for her frame after the fact. Either way: win!
Conclusion
So next time you get an invite and are not sure what to wear, opt for a simple but timeless silhouette, like Rosie’s wrap dress. Add in some strappy heels, and some delicate jewelry, and keep your makeup minimalistic.
