NYFW Runway Look of the Day

Our favorite looks, straight from the NYFW 2014 catwalks

Sculptural Elegance
We've never met a sparkle or sequin we didn't like, but this dress from Zac Posen's Fall/Winter 2014 collection has us seriously considering a ban on baubles and disco ball dresses. Posen proved that he doesn't need shiny, shimmery embellishments and larger-than-life accessories to create a dress that commands attention. Textured fabric enhances the grand silhouette, which screams old-world glamour with its dramatic waist and voluminous skirt. The bold neckline is perfectly tailored, giving way to precise pleats that fall into a high-low hemline that looks classic rather than trendy. Vampy nails, a bold lip and classic black pumps keep the look streamlined and elegant. We're taking bets on which star will be wearing this to the Oscars in a few weeks.

Seeing Red
Our favorite Victoria's Secret Angel, Karlie Kloss, closed Venezuelan-American designer Carolina Herrera's show in this stunning red number. Embellished accents around the waist give way to a sleek, fitted skirt that looks even better in motion and balances the looser fit of the bodice. An off-the-shoulder neckline lets embellished straps peek through and ties the look together. Flushed lips and neutral eye shadow strike the perfect balance of fierce and girly when paired with a slicked-back oversize bun and larger-than-life statement earrings.

Leather & Feathers
Spotted on the Peter Som runway: an unexpected mix of classic, quirky and feminine. A drop waist is nothing new, but the designer reimagined it with a structured caramel leather shell and a feathered skirt, giving the feminine silhouette an edgy upgrade. The mix of textures works surprisingly well with leopard print booties in the same color palette.

The hair and makeup looks mussed and slept-in -- a rock 'n' roll contrast to the perfectly structured dress. Instead of pairing the deep side part with a sleek hairstyle like we've been seeing everywhere lately, this model's tousled hair was pinned to the side. Smoky, kohl-rimmed eyes and a nude lip always work well together, but the one thing we're surprised is missing: her brows. Will Cara D.-style brows be replaced with these barely-there ones come fall?

Modern Mod
We love a dress with a good plunging neckline (see: Amy Adams in "American Hustle"), and this one from Chicago native Lisa Perry's Fall 2014 collection is no exception. Needless to say, we're stocking up on fashion tape. The exaggerated trapeze silhouette and long sleeves balance the low cut of the dress, which was inspired by one of Perry's favorite '60s silhouettes. An ever-so-slight cat eye finished the homage. The geometric booties were born out of a collaboration with Manolo Blahnik and were an unexpected way to cap off the look.
