So, Olivia Palermo Has a New Look
For the past 10 years (since The City aired), Olivia Palermo has provided fashion girls with the style inspiration they want on a very regular basis. She's always stayed true to her New York–girl roots, wearing plenty of black and plenty of directional pieces with just a hint of edge. Among her favorites are black leather pants, bomber jackets, skinny jeans, and flat loafers and mules paired with minidresses. But it during was this fashion month (which just ended) that we started to notice Palermo has a bit of a new look. It appears that she has retired her more classic sensibilities for now in favor of outfits that are very bold for her and, well, extra, in keeping with the overarching theme in 2018 fashion and her fellow street style stars.
Palermo is the caliber of celebrity that wears looks by the designer of the show she's attending, which can certainly limit one's outfit choices a bit, but Palermo didn't seem to have any trouble finding bold, attention-grabbing looks to wear throughout fashion month. Keep scrolling to see what we mean, starting with a look that combined plaid, leopard print, neon, and floral print…
Only she can make this many clashing prints look this cool.
