Kate Bosworth in Chloe

The Sundance Film Festial has begun, and as the stars flock to Utah, our eyes are are firmly placed on the red carpet where we’re certain to see sartorial hits aplomb. Of course, we’ve already been treated to a few fashionable delights, and thanks to Kate Bosworth, we’re coveting a new ‘do and dress to keep up with the fashion cool.

Choosing a black Chloe dress in contrasting leather and silk, the increasingly-impressive style icon gave a luxe lesson in modern minimalism – the cropped leather body with its just-seen cut-out on this seemingly simple shift shows a subtle flash of skin whilst the A-line silk skirt falls to the knee for a well-balanced style.

Add a pair of sheer opaques, ankle-tie points, fuss-free makeup and classic contrasting waves in bright blonde, Ms. Bosworth’s bowled us over once again with her clean cuts and eye for detail.

Achingly chic, effortlessly cool – well played, Kate.
