The Bestest Party Looks of the Week

It’s the last Friday of August, which means fall is creeping up fast, and summer styles are starting to incorporate some autumn staples — this week we even saw a scarf and a coat. Naomi Osaka wore a jacket that even camouflage’s biggest critics will have to admit they like, and actress Ella Balinska made a classic fashion favorite her own at Cartier’s Clash [Un]limited and Clash de Cartier launch. To decide for yourself who was best dressed this week, scroll below.

Best Bling 


Influencer Greivy at the Betsey Johnson Pool Party on August 21. 


The stellar accessorizing in Greivy’s pool-party look puts it above anything else we saw this week. We love every little detail, right down to her nail art. 


Best Little Black Dress


Actress Ella Balinska at the Cartier Clash [Un]limited and Clash de Cartier launch on August 25. 


We can’t decide if we like her boots or the dress’s train more, but either way, this is a great rendition of a timeless look.

Most Likely to Be Headed to a Festival 


DJ Mei Kwok and actress Alexandra Davis at the La Luna Festival - A MATTE Project on August 21.


Festival fashion is only what you make it, but this pair certainly has the style down.

Most Versatile

With the scarf, Cameron Silver’s look is perfect for the transition of summer to fall — or even day into night, as his matching set works well for an afternoon garden party, but looks comfortable enough for someone who wants to be extra stylish at bedtime.

Coolest Camouflage


Naomi Osaka at the TAG Heuer’s celebration event on August 26.


Typically I’m not one for camouflage, but the cut of Naomi Osaka’s jacket and her shoes make this look a rare exception.

Best Puffer Jacket

Though the puffy jacket tragically signals summer is, in fact, coming to an end, I love its bright energy, and the blue shoes.
