If you ask us, KiKi Layne was the breakout red carpet star of award season this year. Who could forget her striking bow-bedecked pink gown at the Oscars or her romantic corsetted dress at the Golden Globes? Well, if you had any doubt that Layne is a fashion force to be reckoned with, her latest outfit will definitely convince you. Attending the Bulgari premiere of Celestial and The 4th Wave ahead of the Tribeca Film Festival, Layne sparked a new red carpet trend with her amazingly cool Christian Siriano dress-over-pants look, which she teamed with Bulgari jewelry and bag. Don't be surprised if you start seeing more dresses styled over pants on red carpets. We don't doubt Layne's style influence one bit. 

Below, Layne and her team gaveBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing an exclusive look at her getting-ready process ahead of the event, which included her hairstylist, Lacy Redway; makeup artist, Keita Moore; and stylists, Wayman and Micah. In addition to her stunning Bulgari necklace, bracelets, and rings, we love how she chose the brand's silver Serpenti bag to perfectly match her outfit, which is in keeping with the tonal trend we've seen a lot of this year. Scroll down to see how KiKi Layne got ready for the event and see the stylish final product.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
