Red carpet-ready looks at Armani—from pantsuits to severe shifts

DOUBLE CROSS Black velvet T-shirtwith creamsatin pants

Every look here will literally walk from runway on to the red carpet for film and fashion award ceremonies. Giorgio Armani designed this tightly edited collection for his label Armani Prive at the recent Paris Couture Week.

 

Film royalty like Cate Blanchett, Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron wear Armani’s elegantly discreet haute couture knowing they will end up in the Best Dressed list, from Cannes to Hollywood.

 

This year it is about sculptural simplicity, much like the wedding gown of Meghan Markle.

 

For Armani, these were in black and champagne combinations in luxe sportswear like pantsuits, crop tops with pajamas. The severe shifts looked new in black velvet—narrow of line with minimal flourishes. —CONTRIBUTED
