Celeb Saturday - Anna Wintour & Chic Recycling

The ultimate fashion celebrity, Anna Wintour, is so fascinating, but one of my favorite things about her is her sentiment on wearing the same look multiple times!

Just yesterday, I noticed her at Wimbledon (in Roger Federer’s box, of course!) wearing the same dress she wore in Paris earlier this week.

Back in 2009, Wintour told NY Mag, “I usually wear the same dress twenty times…I think it's always fun to have something new, but it doesn't mean that everything you already have in your closet has to be thrown out, you know? Recycle…It’s totally okay — I even recommend it.”

I personally think it’s an awesome outlook, especially in today’s society! There are so many ways to wear garments in new ways to make them fresh. And who has the money to wear one outfit and toss it in the trash? Anna may, but she practices what she preaches and is practical! I see nothing wrong with that!

This is how celebrities create signature looks!

Take a look at the cute dresses and evidence of Anna repeating below:

Summer of 2008

Late September, Early October 2009

April 2012

She even recycles dresses from several years ago! What’s wrong with that? If the fashion hounds weren’t clocking her, no one would even notice! Work your recycled-chicness, Anna!

2007 & 2012 – Valentino Dress

2009 & 2012 – Chanel Couture Dress

Anna’s worst offense came in 2011 where she wore a Balenciaga dress just about everywhere she could! This may be a bit questionable, because it’s so recognizable; but at least she alternated colors! If you look good in something and love it, why not feel confident and show off that dress on MULTIPLE occasions?

Celeb Saturday - Pre-Wimbledon Party

It's Saturday on Anthony & Elle, and it's all about celebrity fashion! Since I'm an avid tennis watcher (It's Wimbledon season, guys!) I had to highlight to great fashion at the Pre-Wimbledon Party!

It's always pleasing to see athletes look rough on the field and then clean up afterward and show their true fashion potential! It's especially pleasing to watch the most fashionable sports' transformations! (I mean, you do always see Anna Wintour in Roger Federer's box section!)

So what did the ladies of tennis wear to the party?

The best dressed goes to the two finalists from last year's Wimbledon!

World No. 1 Maria Sharapova

This dress is GORG! I love all of the bead work, the color, the hair and makeup.. Maria looks amazing! She also made an uneven hemline work for me, and that's hard to do! She looks flawless, and like the No. 1 player in the world!

World No. 4 Petra Kvitova

Petra looks curvy and stunning in this red draped dress! She has such an effortless look; the relaxed hair, the soft falling dress, the natural make up. It all works, and she looked picture perfect for the party!

With both of these ladies still in the game and on the opposites sides of the draw, we may see this fashion face off play out on the Wimbledon court!

Also in attendance:

The Williams Sisters

I'm not completely sold, but I love Venus' dress!

Caroline Wozniacki

Love that neck line and one shoulder!

Elena Vesnina

Such a pretty color!

Li Na

Awkward pose but really interesting dress! I want some metallics! LOVE!

Okay guys, brace yourselves for the worst dressed.. Seriously though?

Vania King

Again, seriously???? First off, Wimbledon is such a regal affair; it's tennis' most respected title! She really showed up in white jeans, an ugly see through top, a horrid scarf, and skippies? This is so awful, I'm kind of embarrassed for her. She definitely needs to step it up. I know you're an athlete, girl, but.. try a little harder next time?

Be sure to tune in for the 2nd week of Wimbledon and see these ladies out of the dresses and onto the courts! Luckily, they have coverage on ESPN3 and Wimbledon, for us online nerds!
