Keeping it in balance: Olivia Palermo kept shirt and shoes matching in black-on-white spot print, while her crisp white skirt stayed print-free. For a touch of colour? Reflective on trend sunglasses and an orange and white clutch.

A crisp white jacket, a white alligator clutch, and a pair of oversized it girl sunglasses: Olivia Palermo was a vision of femininity peeped through the crowd at the Dior haute couture show.

Olivia Palermo is capable of pulling off several different styles, but the one she does best is pure femininity. The details on her outfit at the Dior couture show speak for themselves: baby pink and blue jewels punctuating an outift of crisp white and metallic blue.

Spanish jewellery house Carrera Y Carrera chose Olivia Palermo for their latest campaign – a not unfitting decision given her style aligns quite closely to the image of the brand. Styled with rich lace and sheer dresses, the “Treasures of the Empire” collection is all about classically luxurious fine jewels.

If you tend to think of Olivia Palermo‘s style as being purely classic and demure, then you’ll be wowed by her choice of gown for the amfAR Gala in Cannes.

You could almost miss her in the crowd, in an outfit devoid of colour or brightness. But Olivia Palermo does know how to wear an all-dark outfit with style. She was pictured here leaving the Dior spring 2013 show at Paris fashion week.

Olivia Palermo has that ability to flit between nonchalant and carefully polished, though never goes too extreme on either. This outfit is definitely more to the polished side: black and nude and belted and sheer, it’s a perfect fit for the Valentino couture show she’d just attended when this photo was snapped by Candice Lake. Most subtly striking, though, is her hair. The softly blended…

Olivia Palermo has a style that I’d describe as polished. She’s the kind of girl who’s camera-conscious and not the sort who’d allow herself to be snapped down the street swaddled in dishevelled layers.
