Runway to Reality: Balmain’s leather military jacket

Balmain’s leather military jacket, $7,045, is hot. Hot in a way that could be styled vintage victorian or New York nightspot. Which is, of course, the very best kind of hot.

This is the type of piece that people who can afford to are splurging on amidst the recession.

In friendships you might not expect news, Gwyneth Paltrow showed her love for Beyonce and Jay-Z when she attended the stars’ super-secret vows on April 4.

What did she wear? A Fall 2008 sample from the Proenza Schouler collection, shown at left. She carried a small clutch and donned ankle-strap heels with the bone silk gazar minidress.

“It was arranged last minute,” a rep for the designer told People magazine. The rep maintains that Proenza Schouler had no idea that the dress was for Beyonce’s wedding.

The shoes might be a little out-there (and not to mention, beyond budget) for some, so here’s some ‘inspired-by’ alternatives to achieve a similar look.

Product details after the jump.
