At_L'Oréal Paris' Women of Worth Celebration,Cara Delevingnewearing*CELINEbyHedi Slimane**exemplified modern power dressing that perfectly embodied the event's celebration of female achievement. The choice of a pinstripe suit—historically a symbol of corporate authority—becomes particularly resonant against the backdrop of_L'Oréal's*historically empowering "Because You’re Worth It" message.**
Building upon the revolutionary legacy of_Yves Saint Laurent_, who first liberated women through_le smoking_and masculine codes of dress, Slimane—having previously helmed the house—brings his refined meditation on gender to_CELINE_, where he continues to evolve this dialogue with characteristic precision. The pinstripe suit, traditionally a bastion of masculine power dressing, is subtly subverted through careful details that speak to contemporary women's multifaceted expressions of strength. The oversized blazer maintains its sharp shoulders and classic pinstripes, yet there's an inherent softness in how it's styled—a duality that feels particularly relevant at the uplifting event.
The white shirt's asymmetrical styling, partly tucked, partly free, creates a studied carefree quality and androgyny that breaks down the suit's formal rigidity while maintaining its authoritative presence. It's this tension between structure and fluidity that makes the look distinctly_CELINE_.
At_L'Oréal Paris'_signature philanthropic program's 19th annual_Women of Worth_celebration, where ten remarkable female non-profit leaders were honored for their groundbreaking work, this masterful blend of power and sophistication resonated deeply. The ensemble, like the event itself, masterfully bridges high fashion with humanitarian purpose, proving that true elegance encompasses both style and substance.
