Everyone Tried to Out-Model Each Other at the Paper Towns LA Premiere
EntertainmentPaper Towns is a new magical-teen-love movie based on the book by Fault in Our Stars author John Green, likely to be a summer hit. It also stars supermodel Cara Delevingne—it’s expected to launch her film career, actually—so the LA premiere over the weekend featured several models, modeling.
Who will prevail in this incredibly serious model standoff? Cara is going for ferocity in an Alexandre Vauthier ensemble—those Gucci-esque pom poms on her stilettos convey a sense of seriousness about this model game that lets us know she’s playing to win. But Kendall Jenner’s Zimmerman ensemble evokes a very classic Love Story appeal that’s perfect for this particular red carpet (nothing’s shadier than dressing like Ali Macgraw at the opening of your friend’s breakout young-romance film!). Plus: side-slit is classic model, stunting behavior.
Still, Kylie Jenner is a dark horse here. While I have grown immensely weary with the concept that allover sheer is a good idea, particularly the way it has unfortunately trickled down to street style and is almost universally unflattering, Kylie’s color palette is IMPECCABLE. A monochrome hue is always chic, and the way the taupe tulle sets against that buttery suede moto jacket and compliments her pastel aqua hair is stunning. Do we have a winner?!
