Incredible. What a sense of confidence and personal style, and yet it nods to so many key trends. A brilliant example of how to work a trend rather than slavishly follow fashion.
She is a beautiful woman and while I like the shoes and dress and also appreciate a “tougher” look, there is something about the hat, pose and expression that I find obnoxious and the opposite of true style.
Part hippie, part hip hop, all sass! She knows she does not have to be just one thing at a time. I’m so glad that her gorgeous butchness does not get lost in the very femme dress. Her vibrant personality shines here–and isn’t that the best thing about her style?
Late 60s: Indian print Early 70s: Dashiki style Early 80s: Curls peekin’ out under oversized sideways Hip-Hop/New Wave baseball cap Early 90s: Hmmmm. The tats are in the current “mess style” design, but I’m puttin’ them here ’cause that’s when people my age started – and finished – with the tattoo. Current day: Gladiator!
Omahrya!!! My favorite model and the very definition of “a hot mess”. This girl leaves the runway in smoldering embers. I’d hate to have to follow her, that’s for sure. All those girls look interchangeable marching out, she really breaks up the monotony.
No, I don’t dig the hat but you know….I can’t say I hate it (which I would on probably anyone else) and that’s ’cause of the confidence she exudes. Sexy, crazy thang.
I don’t know anything about her, but I don’t like the outfit. It’s, um, not cute. At all. I like the shoes, but I can see those at Macy’s. Seriously, Sart, if she weren’t a model, would this outfit really have caught your eye?
bring on some sass! she looks rad. how refreshing. much more interesting/sexy than most of the trendy designer clones that you often feature in my humble opinion.
none of it “goes” but it doesnt appear to matter on this occassion. She looks like Samantha Ronson in a dress. heh! It’s fun with attitude and the dress itself is truly beautiful.

Strange blouson effect she has created by tucking her dress into her underwear. And don’t get me started on the trucker cap.

This girl is wearing 5 decades worth of style!
Late 60s: Indian print
Early 70s: Dashiki style
Early 80s: Curls peekin’ out under oversized sideways Hip-Hop/New Wave baseball cap
Early 90s: Hmmmm. The tats are in the current “mess style” design, but I’m puttin’ them here ’cause that’s when people my age started – and finished – with the tattoo.
Current day: Gladiator!
She rocks.

Omahyra, when i first saw her on the runway, I totally felt in love with her own unique sense of style.

Man I don’t understand how she mixes that hat with that dress and those sandals and it still looks so awesome. I’m jealous.

Horrible. The hat, the shoes, even the way she is posing with her fist in the air. Just awful.

Someone says “gladiator sandals are dated.” When does something go from being dated to becoming a classic?
