This edition of who wore it best sees a bunch of celebrities battling it out in chequered clothes. In particular, it seems that the stars are going crazy for Louis Vuitton’s retro chequered pattern. From chic shift dresses to funky jumpsuits, this retro-inspired pattern is having a real fashion moment. Check out the following celebrities sporting chequered clothes, and let us know who wore it best!
1 Jessica Alba
One of the first celebrities in the battle for who wore it best is Jessica Alba in a black and white chequered Louis Vuitton dress. She stuck to a monochrome palette with a black clutch and pumps. The slicked back hairstyle and red lip completed the smart and sophisticated look.
Frequently asked questions
2 Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington wore a mid-length chequered dress to a photocall of Django Unchained. She accessorised with a compact metallic clutch and white pointed pumps. Her hairstyle of soft curls and a bow headband also gave the whole look a very feminine feel.
3 Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst wore head to toe chequers in the form of a sleek maxi dress. She teamed her rusty brown and white patterned dress with a simple white clutch and pointed heels. There’s not much room for accessorising when wearing such a statement-making pattern, so she also kept her hair and makeup fairly simple.
4 Miranda Kerr
Model Miranda Kerr wore a tan and white shift dress to the opening of Louis Vuitton’s Cancun store. She accessorised her dress with a compact clutch, glittery platform heels, and simple jewellery. The overall look was sleek, modern, and perfectly understated.
5 Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart was one of the first celebrities to embrace Louis Vuitton’s chequers. She wore this structured playsuit to a photocall for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 way back in October last year. In keeping with her usual rocker vibe, she teamed the playsuit with windswept hair, dark lined eyes, dark nail polish and killer pumps.
6 Hailee Steinfeld
Not many sixteen year olds can say that they wore Louis Vuitton to their birthday party! Hailee Steinfeld, however, wore a Louis Vuitton chequered romper to her Sweet 16 party in Los Angeles. The bright red clutch and colour blocked shoes added a fun touch to the outfit.
7 Juno Temple
Actress Juno Temple opted for a lime green number to wear to the Sundance Film Festival. She teamed her dress with metallic heels and minimal accessories. The dress had a pretty retro feel to it, with its high neckline and pleated mini skirt.
8 Berenice Bejo
Actress Berenice Bejo chose to where her chequered shift dress to a film premiere in Paris. While most other celebrities on this list teamed their chequered clothes with fairly neutral shoes, Berenice teamed hers with bright red pumps.
9 Elettra Weidemann
Model Elettra Weidemann teamed her chequered jumpsuit with metallic gold heels, a neutral clutch, and what I’m assuming was a white blazer or jacket of some kind. It’s a very bold look and there’s definitely a retro Studio 54 vibe about the entire outfit.
10 Arizona Muse
‘It’ model Arizona Muse wears a head to toe chequered look. Yep, that’s a matching chequered dress, bag, and shoes. Was it overkill or matching genius? You decide!
While we all can’t afford (or be loaned) some Louis Vuitton, keep an eye out for any chequered pieces that you could potentially work into your wardrobe. Because, as you can see, chequered patterns seem to be having a serious fashion moment right now. Who do you think pulled off this trend the best?
