Miranda Kerr Loves Her Peter Pilotto Dresses — Which Is Your Favorite?

Miranda Kerr has taken a liking — a strong one, at that — to Peter Pilotto's bold prints.

Miranda Kerr has taken a liking — a strong one, at that — to Peter Pilotto's bold prints. The model first wore a blue print peplum dress from the designer's Spring 2012 collection with Nicholas Kirkwood sandals in late 2011. Earlier this month, Miranda chose a flirty dress from the Resort 2013 line for her unveiling as the Kids Helpline ambassador. And just this week, at the H&M Global Green pre-Oscars party in LA, she went with another Pilotto dress, this time a colorful cutout number from the Spring 2013 collection, which she completed with black pumps and a black clutch. It's a Miranda Kerr-meets-Peter Pilotto trifecta, and we want to know which look you like best.

Peter Pilotto Fall 2013

Spain's Golden Age inspired the painterly strokes of pattern and embroidery in Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos's Fall 2013 collection.
Peter Pilotto Review | Fashion Week Fall 2013

Spain's Golden Age inspired the painterly strokes of pattern and embroidery in Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos's Fall 2013 collection. The offering, while perhaps a little darker in mood than the duo has shown in the past, was filled with no shortage of the lurid shades and pattern mixing that made the label famous. Boxy, masculine coats in red, mustard, and lavender were decorated with coordinating splotches of color, while cowhide jackets were stitched together with crisscrossing white cords. The sculptural shoulders and texture-laden knits were eye-catching, but perhaps the most visually striking pieces were the wildly printed puffer jackets.

Inspired by the Spanish Golden Age, Peter Pilotto's Fall 2013 collection was filled with a bright color palette, modern silhouettes, and, of course, designers Christopher De Vos and Peter Pilotto's flair for creating some of the most unique and covetable prints around. The duo looked to El Greco, transposing the famous Spanish Renaissance artist's vibrant use of colors onto a number of sleek, formfitting sheath dresses, fit-and-flare minis, and tailored separates. Embroidered cropped bolero jackets emphasized the duo's inspiration point, while puffer coats were updated with magnetic colorful patterns. Meanwhile, printed trousers and oversize boxy coats injected a modern tilt into the designers' lineup, furthered by the flat patent oxfords they were paired with. The brand's celebrity fans, like Emma Watson, Miranda Kerr, and Kerry Washington, are sure to have a ball with some of these pieces on their next red carpet circuit.

Nina Dobrev Leads the Pack at a Pre-SAG Awards Fete — Which Look Wins?

What do Downton Abbey's Lady Mary Crawley, The Vampire Diaries' Elena Gilbert, and Revenge's resident scheming social climber Ashley Davenport have in common?

What do Downton Abbey's Lady Mary Crawley, The Vampire Diaries' Elena Gilbert, and Revenge's resident scheming social climber Ashley Davenport have in common? They — or at least their real-life actress counterparts — were all in attendance at Entertainment Weekly's Pre-SAG Party in LA on Saturday night. Michelle Dockery, Nina Dobrev, and Ashley Madekwe were joined by other small-screen award-season fixtures like Naya Rivera and Jordana Brewster for the evening's festivities. The ladies turned out a fun mix of colorfully printed dresses and one sleeker formfitting number. Nina channeled a breezy Summer vibe in her watercolor-printed Matthew Williamson strapless maxi dress, only to finish off the look with an equally easygoing hairdo and Elie Saab clutch. Meanwhile, the prints kept going by way of Michelle's halter-style, fishtail-hemmed Peter Pilotto cocktail dress, Ashley's cap-sleeved Monique Lhuillier number, and Jordana's black-and-white floor-length gown. And just when you think you're noticing a patterned trend (and you'd be spot on), Naya showed off her enviable figure in an strapless, ink-hued leather Monique Lhuillier dress and nude pumps. Whether it's the flirty fodder that caught your eye or the sexier stuff that will inspire your next night-out ensemble, there are five ladies in the running for last night's best-dressed title. Who did it best?

People's Choice Awards: Emma Watson

Emma Watson took home the trophy for best dramatic actress at tonight's People's Choice Awards, which is all well and good, but she would have been a winner in our book either way.

Emma Watson took home the trophy for best dramatic actress at tonight's People's Choice Awards, which is all well and good, but she would have been a winner in our book either way. The Perks of Being a Wallflower star hit the red carpet in a graphic mixed-print Peter Pilotto dress that happened to be seriously shortened from the Spring '13 runway version — but if anyone could pull off a multicolored peplum mini, then it's Ms. Watson. She rounded out the sexy look with a pair of sky-high black-buckled sandals and a half-swept hairstyle. What do you think of Emma's colorful, classy look?

    Peter Pilotto Spring 2013

    Peter Pilotto's Spring 2013 collection was nothing short of a sensory overload — in the best way possible.

    Peter Pilotto's Spring 2013 collection was nothing short of a sensory overload — in the best way possible. Designing duo Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos held nothing back as they sent down models decked out in bold, digitized prints splashed on an array of peplum-infused tops and jackets, skinny trousers, and cutout dresses. If you look closely, you can see that not only was it about the print-on-print-on-print, Pilotto and De Vos injected even more dimension into their looks with textural beaded embroidery, as seen on a magnificent black-and-blue embellished fit-and-flare gown. Silhouettes were also dramatic, some showing high-slit hemlines, others highlighting the popular pouf sleeve we've been spotting in many Spring '13 collections. Also of note were the amazing, psychedelic-printed lace-up Nicholas Kirkwood sandals that finished off every look. For Pilotto and De Vos, it was modern eccentric glamour at its best — and we loved every bit of it.

    • Trends: Peplums, digital prints, embellishments, flared sleeves.
    • Colors: Red, blue, lime green, white, yellow, black, green.
    • Key Piece: We can't wait to see the blue-and-black embroidered flared dress on the red carpet.
    • Accessories: Embellished, multicolored lace-up sandals made in collaboration with Nicholas Kirkwood.
    • Who Should Wear It: Who revels in bold silhouettes and prints? Red carpet A-listers like Emma Watson and Kate Bosworth.
