Not sure how to pull off this complicated (looking) style? Get inspired by Allison Williams’ look at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards. This latest “It” girl’s pale pink Peter Som Spring 2013 dress featured a carefully constructed bodice made up of a criss-cross neckline and off the shoulder sleeves—a clever spin on the cutout craze. Her strappy Alejandro Ingelmo sandals echoed the X’s in the top, and the actress wisely went with simple jewelry, makeup, and hair. Scarlett Johansson took a less sartorial approach to the cross-front dress at an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Her black keyhole halter dress was by Giambattista Valli—she layered a Stella McCartney jacket over it without hiding the elegantly knotted neckline.
