26 Reasons Olivia Palermo Earned Her Front-Row Spot at Fashion Week

When it comes to Fashion Week, an unexpected front row celebrity sighting is pretty neat. But, full disclosure — there are certain style stars we look out for in the hopes we'll catch a glimpse of their perfectly put-together ensembles. And Olivia Palermo is one of them. Not only do we source inspiration from the way she mixes prints and styles her accessories (her belt game is always on point), but we also love to see how she dresses based on the show she's about to enjoy.

Yes, leave it to Olivia to channel romantic, ethereal vibes at Marchesa, sport sophisticated elegance at Carolina Herrera, fittingly shrug on her wrap dress for Diane von Furstenberg, and enjoy the Dior collection in an outfit that's tailored, yet complete with punchy accessories. The truth is in the photos below — Olivia is a sartorial savant with a knack for adding just enough of her signature flair to appear completely effortless. So, scroll down to follow Olivia from NYFW to PFW (she wasn't in Milan, but who can blame her — girl needs a break!), and see all the times she wore next season's trends before they even debuted on the runway — or, you know, just set some of her own.

Olivia dressed down for the Moncler Gamme Rouge show on the last day of Fashion Week. But that doesn't mean we weren't just as obsessed with her separates. From that perfect jacket that combines two of Olivia's favorite trends — suede and fringe — to her leather pants, she's sporting closet staples, through and through.

At the CR Fashion Book launch party, Olivia marched to the beat of her own boho drum. While other attendees went for sexy cuts and jumpsuits, Olivia reminded us that a little fringe and a lot of lace can bring some magic to the red carpet.

Olivia sat front row at Valentino in a streamlined kelly green set. And with a built-in belt at the waist, she didn't have to do much styling. But, leave it to Olivia to sport the most covetable Aquazzura sandals that match perfectly to the details on her jacket.

Olivia chose a decidedly bohemian outfit for a night out with her husband, Johannes Huebl. From the oversize appeal of her sweater to the her long pendant necklace, she looked effortless — and we're all about a contrast print that comes by way of your scarf and shoes.

Olivia saw the Chloé show in a monochrome look that certainly played into the Spring trends — we love the way she used her statement stripes to work as a foundation for her animal-print clutch and heels.

A day of errands calls for all black for the style star, who attended the Viktor & Rolf show — and then strolled the streets in her suede over-the-knee Olivia Palermo x Aquazzura boots.

Olivia enjoyed Maison Martin Margiela and then Andrew Gn in leather — a proper choice with just enough edge to contrast a makeshift peplum hem and her more feminine Aquazzura sandals.

Olivia's look for the Dior show had to be one of our favorites. From her scarf bracelet to her subtly striped oxblood bag and tassel-embellished shoes, we were smitten.

Olivia traveled from the Nina Ricci show to the Barbara Bui show in a red monochrome look that's right on point for Fall. The subtle contrast of her turtleneck and pencil skirt is only heightened by her brighter, statement-making accessories.

For the Osman show, Olivia brought major edge in sleek, all-black separates and a studded moto jacket. But, leave it to Olivia to add a ladylike element in the form of strappy pastel pumps.

We've already seen Olivia employ the Burberry scarf, belt, and dress styling trick before. So, it's no surprise she pulled off the very same style for Christopher Bailey's Spring 2015 show. Later, Olivia attended the Issa show in the same outfit.

For Stella McCartney's green carpet, Olivia took a tip from the boys in a menswear-inspired ensemble and tailored, oversize culottes. Our main takeaways? That perfect waist cinch and the metallic accents of her zippers and ankle-strap heels.

Olivia channeled Marchesa vibes at the label's Spring 2015 show in a gorgeously textured ethereal dress. But that tan, knotted belt is totally quintessential of Olivia's style.

Olivia showed us Fall dressing at its finest for Emilia Wickstead on the first day of London Fashion Week. The asymmetrical silhouette of her skirt and geometric zipper cutoffs on her sweater don't come off as too busy with the addition of a few standard accessories.

Olivia loves her fringe bags, but she gave the trend a major boost with a multistrand gold necklace, a wraparound leather hair tie, and, of course, her suede two-tiered skirt. The classic Americana vibes were perfect for her agenda, which included the Michael Kors show and Delpozo.
