In pinstripes and thigh-highs, Lily Cole gave the Crosby Street Hotel a dose of Edwardian noir—equal parts ingénue and dominatrix, with a surrealist wink.

It was December 7th, 2009, and the Crosby Street Hotel in New York had the air of a dreamscape—fitting, given the film it was hosting. For the premiere and after party of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Lily Cole arrived not as a model-turned-actress, but as a walking paradox: Victorian restraint meets cabaret provocation.

Never one to shy from a distinct aesthetic, Chase Sui Wonders brought a sophisticated, retro-inflected glamour to ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ on July 16, 2025.

The multi-talented actress, joining guests on the famed Bravo set, presented a look that felt both classic and subtly edgy. Wonders opted for a black dress, but it was the thoughtful details that truly elevated the ensemble. The dress featured a striking white bustier-style top, complete with a delicate black bow detail at the center, invoking a subtle nod to mid-century elegance. The main body of the dress was sleek and dark, punctuated by what appeared to be delicate, perhaps embroidered or embellished, red and green accents near the hemline.
