The Best Dressed Stars of the Week Went Flirty With an Edge

Plenty of A-list stars may be on summer vacation this month (it’s most definitely a Euro Summer!), but that didn’t stop a stylish crop of celebrities from continuing to serve up some fashion drama on the red carpets this past week. The best dressed stars over the past few days were those who leaned into a refined sense of summery style: notable names like Rihanna, Margot Robbie, and Bella Hadid all chose fun and feminine silhouettes that had unexpected edge to them, too.

Then there was Dakota Johnson, who slinked about L.A. in a metallic silver Gucci strapless gown. It was Old Hollywood, yet that sharp metallic shade felt unwaveringly modern as well. Ditto for actor Viola Davis, who delivered one of the best colorful moments of the week in her slinky tangerine orange Ralph Lauren gown, worn to the inaugural Televerse Festival. Her head-turning hue proved that when you have a great color scheme (and some sexy cutouts), you don’t need much else to have a fabulous and formal evening look.

Some more rock and roll looks this week shined as well. Lady Gaga hit the town in New York City ahead of her Mayhem Ball wearing a black Norma Kamali jumpsuit and cropped Balenciaga blazer—complete with her signature death-defying platforms, naturally. In L.A., Margot Robbie also slipped into a black, skin-tight Vivienne Westwood corset, and paired it with a mini skirt to boot. It may not be her pink Barbie method dressing wardrobe, but something tells us her stylish press tour for her new upcoming film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, will have some statements to make.
