Yes, the Met Gala may have dominated the fashion headlines this week (did you see the gowns?). But, that doesn't mean we didn't have other stylish opportunities to serve our search for this week's best-dressed celebrities. Miranda Kerr and Sarah Jessica Parker's versions of dressing down — Miranda wore a loose Vivienne Westwood jumpsuit and Alexander Wang heels to a showing of The Great Gatsby, SJP wore a vintage floral dress — proved to be some of our favourite looks of theirs. . . There's something about stars not trying too hard that we love. Kate Bosworth made a case for flared skirts (hers by Miu Miu), and of course, we're still impressed by some of the Met Gala style winners — namely, Rooney Mara and Rosie HW. Want more? Right this way!

Finding fresh inspiration for what to wear to the fashion industry's biggest week can be tricky.  As we've discussed, you want to look good but feel comfortable — especially if you're pulling 12 hour days like us! We're turning to our fellow fashion editors from the US and UK for guidance. From Meredith Melling Burke from US Vogue's femme but classic ensembles to Kate Lanphear from US Elle's trademark all-black, to that Frenchy-cool that Emmanuelle Alt and Carine Roitfeld carry off so well — albeit in very different ways — we've rounded up our absolute favourite street style snaps of the world's best dressed editors for your perusal. Fashion week, come at me! 

Stunning Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova has added "designer" to her list of accomplishments, with her exclusive shoe range launched on Net-A-Porter this week. In conjunction with chain-store retailer Centro, Natalia created pumps that come in three classic colours — black, nude and papaya — all sporting a subtle crown motif on the back of the heel. Two things make this situation even better: One, the shoes are priced at just $44 and two, all profit from the sales of the shoes will benefit The Naked Heart Foundation, the kid's charity Natalia founded in 2004. Pretty special, right? To celebrate the launch of the shoes, Natalia was the guest of honour at a cocktail party thrown by Net-A-Porter's Lucy Yeomans. Other attendees included Karlie Kloss, Mario Testino, Grace Coddington, Christian Louboutin and Carine Roitfeld, just to name a few. . .

Paris Couture Fashion Week continues to attract the most enviable fashionistas, and the latest to claim their front-row seats were Carine Roitfeld, Miroslava Duma, Natalia Vodianova, and Dita Von Teese at Valentino and Elie Saab. Chanel's Haute Couture Spring '13 show at the Grand Palais also drew the likes of Diane Kruger, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jessica Alba (all clad in Chanel, of course). Meanwhile, Rita Ora, Clémence Poésy, and, editrix in chief Anna Wintour all turned out equally covet-worthy ensembles, some more fur and snakeskin laden than others — we're looking at you, Anna. With Paris Couture Fashion Week forging ahead and our first Kim Kardashian sighting at Stephane Rolland, step inside to get a closer look at what everyone is wearing.
