We’ve already addressed the fringe fashion trend that appeared on the red carpet for the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards, and we spotted another one – longline shorts.

Lupita Nyong’o and Anne V showcased their stylish flair with directional outfits on the red carpet in New York earlier this week.

We know Lupita isn’t afraid to take fashion risks, and after a flawless run throughout Awards season and a slight hiccup at the Met Ball she was back to her best wearing a patterned Suno Fall 2014 look.

The mix of stripes and colours is certainly eye catching but the actress carries the look off with ease and her make-up completed the look perfectly; wearing bold blue eyes and a neutral glossy lip. Red pumps and a quiffed hairstyle completed this look.

Victoria’s Secret model Anne V also took on the edgy look in a more of a understated way, her monochrome look in comparison to Lupita’s is a lot more tamed, but still on trend and stylish.

Wearing patterned Jonathan Simkhai boxy top and longline shorts, Anne was looking sleek. Paired with simple black sandals, a slicked black hairstyle and a moody oxblood lip it was certainly statement and made the right impact.

Anne's monochrome look was chic and sophisticated

We love how these ladies took the risk on the red carpet because it certainly paid off.

These longline length shorts are perfect for dressy looks this summer, heels are a must as the cut will shorten the legs and if you’re going for a wide fit we suggest wearing a more fitted top to help balance out the look.

We’ve picked out some stylish pieces that you can shop now and get the red carpet fashion trend.
