Conservative is making a comeback, and Blair’s not the only lady tapping a Grace Kelly-esque style. Glam it up like Princess Beatrice and Sophie with Nina Ricci and Moschino–the experts in timeless sophistication. These retrospective looks will exude the perfect amount of class and refined elegance needed for any formal event or cocktail party this fall. Pair with a simple updo or loose waves and you’re good to go.
On the less fancy side of the scale, festive frocks from Opening Ceremony, Nina Ricci, and Peter Soronen are a perfect way to do retro at any birthday party, shower, or date. Match with some fun jewelry and a statement clutch to glam up the complete look.
And did we mention you can rent all of these designers for hundreds — even thousands! — less than their ritzy price tags?
