The Best Mary Katrantzou Looks of 2014 — Get Ready to Get Lost in All the Amazing Prints
Mary Katrantzou had quite the year, didn't she? There was her absolutely knockout collaboration with Adidas (I'm still coveting that amazing coatdress), her glorious costume designs for the New York City Ballet... and her dresses were just about everywhere, on everyone — especially the most fashion-forward stars (I'm looking at you, Marion Cotillard, Lupita Nyong'o, and Diane Kruger).
There were a few missteps, sure (perhaps most notably, Taylor Swift's epically WTF-inducing alphabet romper at the VMAs), but all in all? What a year — so let's take a look at some of her best red carpet moments!
Kiernan Shipka at TrevorLIVE LA
Kiernan Shipka + Mary Katrantzou is definitely a winning combination. Here’s to more of the duo in 2015!
Elizabeth Banks at a Luncheon for March of Dimes
I’m starting to think Elizabeth Banks can do no wrong.
Rose Byrne at the World Premiere of 'Annie'
Adorable.
Aubrey Plaza at the NCLR ALMA Awards
One of the most colorful, shiniest dresses in this entire slideshow (and if you know your Mary Katrantzou, you know that’s saying a lot).
Taylor Swift at the VMAs
Come on, I had to include it.
Hailee Steinfeld at Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood Party
This simple silhouette is kind of lovely, isn’t it? And that detailing on the collar is gorgeous.
Kerry Washington at the Hollywood Foreign Press Associations's Grants Banquet
No best dressed list is ever truly complete without Kerry Washington (especially with an assist from Kristen Bell).
Ruth Wilson at the Summer TCA Press Tour
Tres cool, eh?
Jessica Chastain at the Ischia Global Film + Music Festival Premiere
Jessica Chastain made about a million combined appearances on end of year best dressed lists across the map, and this might be her best look of all.
Diane Kruger at the Premiere of 'The Bridge' Season 2
I love Diane Kruger for her willingness to take risks — and for the fact that they almost always pay off in a major way.
Claudia Levy at the Premiere of 'The Rover'
I’m not a huge fan of the styling overall (there’s something unsettlingly dated about the hair and makeup, and those shoes are kind of horrendous), but there’s no denying that that is one cute dress.
Rachel Bilson at the CW Network Upfronts
A little fun, a little funky, and a lot pretty. And don’t you love how she kind of matches the background?
Jessica Alba at The Helping Hand of Los Angeles Mother’s Day Luncheon
A comparatively sedated print from the designer, but still kooky enough for some of that fashionable oomph.
Marion Cotillard at the New York Premiere of 'The Immigrant'
Remember what I said about Elizabeth Banks doing no wrong and Diane Kruger’s amazing fashion risk-taking skills? Add all that together with an extra dollop of gracefulness and you’ve got Marion Cotillard.
Sophie Turner at a 'Game of Thrones' Sky Atlantic Event
Still one of my favorite dresses of the year.
Lupita Nyong'o
Every slideshow ever should end with an image of Lupita Nyong’o absolutely slaying it.
