Fashion tips for turning heads at Ottawa's most glam spring gala

When it comes to setting trends on the red carpet, Beyoncé is in a league of her own. But that doesn’t mean women in Ottawa can’t be fashion-forward, too. ? On Tuesday, while accepting the prestigious fashion icon award at a glitzy gala in New York City, Queen Bey stole the show, dressed in a sparkling haute couture Givenchy pinstripe suit and wide-brimmed hat. ? Designer Diane von Furstenberg, who introduced the pop star at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, remarked: “The image of a woman in charge has never looked more glamorous.” ? Pantsuits in crepe, sequins, satin and silk — the feminine take on menswear — is the No. 1 trend on the red carpet, says Suzanne Timmins, fashion director for Hudson’s Bay. “I love this look. Beyoncé and Tilda Swinton both looked fabulous dressed in a pantsuit. Blazers and pants in fluid fabric — not structured material — are uber trendy.” She encourages guests to break out the bling and dress their very best when getting ready for a splashy night out. Colour runs the gamut from reds and champagne to blush, soft lilac, gold, silver and black. Nature motif prints like butterflies and flora and fauna are also in, Timmins says.
