halleybird · Hermes

Elle · Hermes

duras sequined tank

Tara · Dooney & Bourke

LMonet - where is the middle one from? very cute!

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

very cute.. but looks a little too much like lingerie.. i like the ones leah posted better.

Mia · Kate Spade

*distracted by Paul Bettany*

Doesn't Kristen Dunst favour Chanel? Stella McCartney does a lot of these lingerie-style tops, but if your looking for a (much) less expensive alternative I like what LMonet posted - esp #1.

Have you seen the Gold Hawk camis? They are slightly similiar...Girlshop and Shopbop carry that brand, I think.

bean · Kenneth Cole

halleybird, her makeup does look fab doesn't it? but if we all had our own professional makeup artists our makeup would look perfect too.

Lmonet, I love that 1st blouse, the anthro one!

Mia, you are good. that top she's wearing is Chloe, and isn't McCartney the designer of that line? also her pants which are grey wool pants are by McCartney. unfortunately I can't afford to plop down $400+ for a top!

Gold Hawk camis are very pretty too... less expensive but still expensive! but I just love the detail on the one kirsten is wearing, including the layered part which actually has tiny hook closures. it's so unique. *sigh*

honey · Gucci

some more options

this is from arden b. (very similar to the gold hawk tops mia suggested)

from bluefly

i like the first one lmonet posted a lot. also the top looks reminds me of something rebecca taylor, milly, or mint would do b/c it's so soft and feminine. you might check some of those designers too.

Hee...no, I'm not very good - I was just giving suggestions on similiar styles - Stella M no longer designs for Chloe, it is Phoebe Philo now, I think (?).

I have seen some Stella M lingerie-style tops/camis on eBay so maybe check it out. The cami Honey posted looks pretty much the same as the Gold Hawk ones but it probably a lot cheaper.

I don't know whether to be bothered by Kirsten's continued bralessness or not. I think I am way too used to the fake-boobs-up-under-the-chin look - to the point that natural boobs, even small celebrity natural boobs, look weird. I think that generally it is OK to go braless if you are not over a B cup, so I guess I admire Kirsten's chutzpah.

yeah i have conflicting feelings about her apparent aversion to wearing bras as well. i think it often makes her look dumpy, especially because she tends to wear loose things so there is nothing holding those puppies up. but i guess it's also refreshing to see some real boobs hanging out in all their glory.

oh and yes, phoebe philo took over at chloe.

Amelie · Kenneth Cole

Mia, you're right. Phoebe Philo is the new designer for Chloe, and that top (on Kirsten) is by Chloe.

hehehe. I feel the same way. I think she has a great body, except her boobs without a bra are kind of... "long," especially for smallish ones.

thanks for your help everyone!
