“L’Wren has an extraordinary ability to make dresses that genuinely flatter a woman,” Sarah Jessica Parker told The Telegraph in 2011. “She makes an unbelievably contemporary dress in a remarkably old-fashioned way for all sorts of women and body types.” Parker was far from alone in her praise for L’Wren Scott’s exquisite, colorful creations. “L’Wren’s clothes make you feel like a sexy pin-up, a sophisticated lady, and a rock star all at once,” said fan Christina Hendricks, who rarely graced a red carpet not wearing one of Scott’s dresses. The glamorous designer, who died yesterday from an apparent suicide, was favored by several celebrities, including Amy Adams and Penélope Cruz — though perhaps no one more than Nicole Kidman, who first wore one of her designs at the 2006 Rome Film Festival, the same year that Scott launched her collection.
