What a Style Icon Actually Wears to Fashion Week

Published on March 6, 2017 at 6:20 PM

For a front-row fixture, Fashion Week is as much about outfit planning as it is about show-hopping for people like Olivia Palermo. The trendsetter and collaborator routinely pops up at the season's biggest shows, making her appearances a staple part of Fashion Month's landscape. We expect to see her supplying outfit inspiration, new styling hacks, and shopping fodder with each stop along the global fashion tour — and that's exactly what you'll find. Inside, we've zeroed in on every outfit Olivia's worn from NYC to Paris with the details you need to re-create them at home.

For Valentino, the style guru cinched a statement skirt and added a turtleneck and boots for a perfect transitional look.

For Elie Saab's show, Olivia gave a modest look a cool-girl twist with combat boots.

Cloaked in all black, Olivia brought a polished, more dramatic look to the Christian Dior show.

Olivia's look at Chloe could convince anyone that track pants can be chic — just add heels and a luxe knit top.

For Prada's show, Olivia made a classic color pairing feel fresh thanks to strappy heels and slit trousers.

Patches make a classic button-down infinitely cooler and primed for pairing with distressed denim and a staple army jacket. That's what we learned from this look at London Fashion Week.

Who needs to think about a top when you have a cape? Olivia made a case for investing in dramatic outerwear when she stepped out in this look at the Burberry show in London.

For Pringle of Scotland's show in London, we got preppy vibes from Olivia's midi skirt and sweater combo thanks to that extra sweater tied at the shoulders and a pair of embellished flats.

For the Erdem show in London, Olivia gave us a valuable lesson in layering, adding a floral dress over pants and topping it all off with a furry capelet.

While running around New York Fashion Week, Olivia dressed down a slit skirt with a cozy turtleneck, a styling tip you could likely put to use with the pieces already in your closet.

For the Moncler show, Olivia played the part in a chic white jacket and coordinating mini.

At the Zimmermann show, Olivia dressed up denim simply by adding a statement coat. Lesson learned.

Olivia Palermo gave sophisticated dressing a contemporary update at the Jonathan Simkhai show with a trademark fashion-girl tip: nonchalantly throwing a jacket across her shoulders.
