Louis Vuitton Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, Nicolas Ghesquière and Editor-in-Chief of W magazine, Sara Moonves hosted an intimate dinner prior to the start of awards season on Friday (January 6) at a private residence in Los Angeles.

There was only one place to start, the Haim sisters.

Danielle Haim, Alana Haim, Este Haim all opted for texture​d​ trousers​ with exposed zipper​s; ​bring back the trend started by Jared Leto during his promo tour for ‘House of Gucci.’

As comfortable as the trousers look, I can’t get past the zipper, especially as it grows in size from Alana to Este.

From Danielle’s pose, I’m guessing she wasn’t as convinced as her sisters.

Tipping my hat to them for being so fearless. I could never.

Cate Blanchett, who is the face of Louis Vuitton’s High Jewelry, opted for a Louis Vuitton look that was much more understated.

As you know I love a good jumpsuit, but it’s the contrasting elements and textures I find most intriguing here.

​So when crediting the ​start of the ​full leather trend, it has to go to Colman Domingo before Jeremy Pope.

Danielle Deadwyler didn’t disappoint in this off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton Spring 2023 look.

It’s edgier than we expect from her, but without the “try-hard” element as she made the look her own with wide-leg trousers.

Michelle Williams attends Louis Vuitton and W Magazine's awards season dinner

Michelle Williams is having a great start to 2023, and this is no exception.

As always she selects a ​Louis Vuitton ​look which suits her style, rather than forcing a trend that might not work for her.

Michelle Yeoh attends Louis Vuitton and W Magazine's awards season dinner

I think I would’ve been more enamoured by Michelle Yeoh’s Louis Vuitton look without the gold coat.

Miranda Kerr attends Louis Vuitton and W Magazine's awards season dinner

It looks like there was plenty of fabric left from Thuso Mbedu’s custom Louis Vuitton Resort 2023 3D feather-effect jacquard gown worn to the Palm Springs International Film Awards, as Miranda Kerr mini skirt shows.

Much like Michelle Williams, Miranda marches to the beat of her own drum.

I almost don’t know what to say when it comes to Stacy Martin’s Louis Vuitton Spring 2023 look, as I don’t know what is more jarring.   

The zippers or the print?

This is more like. Taylour Paige skipped the zipper trend opting for a leather puffer style A-line dress from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2023 collection, which was her stand out on this red carpet.

I feel that Thuso Mbedu might be a Louis Vuitton brand ambassador before the end of the year; if she’s not already.
