Michelle Chen at the Calvin Klein Collection presentation. Love the pop of fuchsia rose on her lips!
Shaking up New York Fashion Week was Taiwanese megastar Michelle Chen, who mingled with Hollywood A-listers Jessica Chastain and Olivia Wilde at Calvin Klein Collection’s Fall 2013 runway show.
Olivia Wilde, who stood out in a Spring 2013 black silk A-line dress from Calvin Klein Collection, overlain with an intricate electric blue netting. Cinched waists seemed to be the de rigueur for the celebrities dressed at the event – like Chen, Wilde was also sporting a metallic skinny belt that drew attention to the “House” actress’s enviably petite frame.
Olivia Wilde was also a front-row seater. The discerning style icon reportedly told the press that this show would be the only one she would be attending at NYFW, because she only “wanted to see clothes that I know I’ll want to wear”
Also making a much-hyped appearance was Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain, who was the very picture of proper ladylike elegance in a lovely Pre-Fall wool flannel shift that was stained a deep autumnal rust.
The Golden Globe winner brought her look together by wearing patent pumps that were a rich burgundy, making the auburn-haired up-and-comer a stylish study in mixing shades of red with aplomb.

The futuristic silver sheen of Chen’s sleek strapless number was very flattering against her fair complexion. Note how the dress was given shape with a skinny black metallic belt

Costa’s Fall 2013 looks were quintessential Calvin Klein: clean and urbane, with textural accents like glossy patent panelling on snug alpaca and shorn shearling. Statement buckled belts with gold plaques added luxurious sophistication to the otherwise pared down looks
The Fall 2013 show was marked by a season-appropriate palette of black and forest green, with flattering yet strong silhouettes. This form-fitting leather coat-dress was one of our favorite looks
