While we love just about anything Miuccia Prada creates (her Spring 2012 collection included), we have to admit that sometimes, while intriguing, her ideas can seem hard to imagine in playing a role in real life. Although this season with its retro Italian glamor, wicked hot-rod motifs and red-hot flame prints seemed a tad bit tricky although wholly covetable, served as no exception as it dangerously teetered on the good taste divide with its decadent juxtaposition of references high & low. >>More: Prada But then again, look at how delightful actress Freida Pinto looked in a hot-rod printed number at the recent celebration of Nylon magazine's 13th anniversary while hitting upon the season's must-have color block trend. >>More: Celebrity Style One of the major reasons the

Lily Collins updates the idea of a summer maxi dress... While the idea of wearing a printed maxi dress seems like nothing new and quite uninspiring to say the least, actress Lily Collins brought a new lease on the languid looking, enviable comfort inducing maxi last week in Peter Som. >> RELATED: How to wear a maxi skirt The dress' hybrid capelet shape lent the piece's faded digital print a sophisticated and even unexpected dose of elegance while keeping the young starlet age-appropriately covered up and all the more inspiring for it.

METROPOLITAN OPERA Season V – PREMIERE OF MASSENET’S MANON Looking back at last week's opening of the Metropolitan Opera's new season with a slew of celebrity attendees decked out in Yves Saint Laurent, one can't help but take note of the accessible, inspirational takes on French Chic each guest radiated in their own way. Model Dree Hemingway in a relaxed ivory suit brought to mind an ultra glamorous twist to Bianca Jagger's infamous 70's era white bridal suit, with its languid fabrication signaling today's need for low-key understated glamor. In ivory, it gives off a boudoir sensuality, yet in basic black, it could take you from work to after dinner drinks in no time. >>Just Can't Get Enough French Style Inspiration
