Rooney and Kate Battle It Out in Black and White — Who's Most Fab?

Just the night before, Rooney Mara joined sister Kate on the red carpet for the premiere of her new show.
by

Just the night before, Rooney Mara joined sister Kate on the red carpet for the premiere of her new show. Now Kate is returning the favor. The actress stepped out for the NYC premiere of Rooney's new film, Side Effects, and even followed up with a sweet tweet about her sister's performance. Aside from the family bonding, the sisters' arrivals again gave us a side-by-side comparison of their personal styles. They set the stage for a style battle with obvious contrasts. Rooney opted for a creamy white Alexander McQueen confection and Kate stepped out in a flirty LBD. But color palettes aside, there are a few common denominators. Each dress boasts a feminine fit-and-flare shape and a more fashion-forward cut. Kate's is certainly a more understated look, and the true beauty of Rooney's dress is in the gorgeous floral appliqués and embellishments. Rooney is also the first to bring McQueen's Pre-Fall '13 collection to the red carpet. As for the finishing touches, Kate looked to a sleek metallic clutch and Nicholas Kirkwood platform pumps with a little more personality, while Rooney let the gorgeous dress take the focus, also choosing Kirkwood heels, but more pared-down, nude peep-toes. That's the fashion breakdown. Now, study up and cast your vote for the sister who stole the spotlight on last night's red carpet.

Nicholas Kirkwood Wins BFC/Vogue Prize — See His Top Celeb Moments

Major congratulations are in order for footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood.

Major congratulations are in order for footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood. On Tuesday, Kirkwood took home the fourth annual British Fashion Council/ Vogue Designer Fashion Fund prize, beating out other talented nominees like Roksanda Ilincic, Mary Katrantzou, and Peter Pilotto as the first accessories designer to nab the honors — and it's well-deserved. Since launching his eponymous shoe label in 2005, you're most likely to spot Kirkwood's heels on the red carpet. The celebrity style set is perhaps the most obvious indicator of his fashion influence, with trendsetters like Diane Kruger, Alexa Chung, Miranda Kerr, and many, many more slipping into his whimsical, ultrasexy footwear for press appearances, premieres, and parties. We couldn't think of a better tribute to the designer than a look back at the A-list clients who've helped make his footwear so famous. Step inside to see Nicholas Kirkwood's creations dazzle on the heels of our favorite celebs.

Kick Starter: The Award-Winning Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes You Can Buy Right Now

There's likely more than one British designer wishing they could step into Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes right now.
by

There's likely more than one British designer wishing they could step into Nicholas Kirkwood's shoes right now. On Tuesday, Kirkwood became the first accessory designer to win the British Fashion Council/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund.

"Nicholas has created a real business in an impressively short amount of time and has become one of the world's most influential shoe designers," said British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, who's on the fund's judging panel. "I very much look forward to seeing what he does next."

What's next for Kirkwood is a plan for major growth. The prize includes £200,000 (just under $315,000 at current exchange) and an 18-month mentoring program for Kirkwood and his partner Christopher Suarez designed to help them turn their company into a global fashion brand.

Kirkwood, who recently designed all the shoes for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, beat a field of other young talents that included Roksanda Ilincic, Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto, and Emilia Wickstead for the prize. In the past, the award has gone to Erdem Moralioglu, Jonathan Saunders, and Christopher Kane, the latest talent to join luxury conglomerate PPR.

Only time will tell if a big deal with one of the world's foremost fashion companies is in the cards for Kirkwood, too. In the meantime, a look at some of our favorite Kirkwood originals available right now.
