Last Thursday, the former fruit seller turned supermodel, Natalya Vodianova, attended a dinner to celebrate her charity ‘The Naked Heart Foundation’s’ collaboration with the newly opened W Hotel in St. Petersburg.

Rent Natalya’s Krystof Strozyna Dress

It excited us all at GMD to see that, the Russian purveyor of fashion forwardness herself was coveting none other than a Krystof Strozyna dress!    It excites us even more, to be able to reveal that we stock the body-con dress forming part of the collection worn by the catwalk uber-goddess.  And while the dress Natalya wore normally retails at £850, you can now rent the dress from us for £49!

The Krystof Client List

No doubt the Central St. Martins graduate Krystof Strozyna is already pretty pleased with himself. Already his designs have been seen on the likes of style trend-setters such as Cheryl Cole, Diane Vickers and Nicole Scherzinger.

The Krystof Strozyna Woman

Given he describes the Krystof Strozyna woman as ‘charismatic and sexy’ we’re guessing that to have Natalia Vodianova wear one of your pieces surely must be the icing on the ‘people-he’d-like-to-dress’ cake for the Polish designer.  Perfectly fitted, graphic cut dresses-his signature creations will flatter any frame, ‘making more women happy’ (Krystof’s words).  Rent Natalya’s, Cheryl’s or other Krystof Strozyna dresses to hire from GirlMeetsDress.

White Summer Dresses to Solve your ‘Where-Can-I-Rent-a-Cream-Dress’ Dilemmas

There was no question about it; cream, beige, nude and white dresses (in other words, the NEUTRALS) were having a moment in the fashion stakes at the Grand Prix last weekend.  Nicole Scherzinger lead the way in her strappy cream dress, with its fold detailing, not unlike that of the front of this Zimmerman vanishing strapless maxi pictured.  (Rent cream dresses like the Zimmerman nude dress from our neutrals section.)

Looking the picture of cool as she watched what was a disappointing performance from her beau (the usual front runner went on to finish 6th) from the salubrious heights of a private box, Nicole’s cream dress was the perfect antidote to the dizzy, petroleum riddled, scorching heights of the F1 car action below.

White Summer Dresses Spotted on Jessica, Tatiana & Kim

Other celebrities spotted baring all, (well, not exactly, but they were in nude dresses) were the Ecclestone sisters and Jenson Button’s latest love-interest, the stunning Jessica Michibata.  Jessica’s white dress was not dissimilar in style to this fabulous Isabel Marant cream dress. (To rent: £89. RRP: £290). It seemed neutral / white dresses really were the A-lister colour palette of the weekend.

Kim Kardashian to be ‘papped’ at the Amber fashion show in a white halterneck gown, while Columbian beer empire heiress and girlfriend of Andrea Casiraghi (second in line to the Monaco throne) stepped out on the prince’s arm in a floor length white maxi dress, (pictured below).  Look chic in one of our Ducie cream maxi dresses, available to hire such as this one, in beige.

Tamara and Petra Ecclestone Look ‘AllWhite’

Then of course, their presence a ubiquitous one at racing circuit events, Tamara and Petra Ecclestone were spotted in short chic cream dresses with polka dot detailing (accesorized with heels and a Birkin- what else?!)  It seems it wasn’t just in Cannes but at Monaco too that white made a huge appearance.  Will the same be the case at Royal Ascot? We can’t wait to find out! In the meantime, herald the arrival of summer and rent a white/cream dress from our designer dress collection.

Dresses, ball gown or cocktail-style would be appropriate for women attending this summer evening do.   If you’ve been to the event before, you might have a firm grasp of the kind of ball dress /ball gown you’re going to wear.   Rooting through the evening dress selection in your wardrobe, there might well be enough stock in there to open your own shop.  Yet, none grab you-especially as you’ve already worn each one.   Then perhaps you’ve never considered ball gowns for hire.

Too Many Dresses/Ballgown Wardrobe Overload?

Dress to Impress- Hire a Marc Jacobs Dress

Whether you’re in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot or not, ensure your dress for the races is a winner (even if your horse isn’t). An outfit for the races needs to look occasion appropriate, whether the dress code demands it or not.  Even if you’re not in the Royal Enclosure you should not be looking to release your inner chav.  Leave the tight-fitting, mini dress numbers firmly on the hanger, and opt for a dress that does you justice at the GGs.  We have hand-picked some pieces from our Marc Jacobs dresses to hire section.

GG-Tastic Marc Jacobs Dresses for the Races!

The impeccable detailing found on each dress is what will put you ahead of the crowd in the fashion stakes – consolation indeed if you’re not doing so well in race stakes!

Marc really knows what women want!  No wonder then, that the designer counts Sofia Coppola, Kate Bosworth and Victoria Beckham amongst his biggest fans.  And judging by dress connoisseur Mrs B’s wardrobe, the lady ought to know a thing or two about structured dresses!  Pair with Oh Nena or Pearl and Ivy fascinators stocked by us, a sprinkling of bling by Blaguette or Bex Rox, and a cute clutch, and you’ll be left with a GG-tastic outfit for the races.
