Mannish tailoring is one of the biggest stories of autumn/winter 2012 - but the jury's still out as tho whether a studded beret and sunglasses tip it into OTT territory. Even on Chloe Sevigny.

Understated isn’t often a word associated with Queen Of Kook Chloe’s style, yet that’s exactly how we’d describe the beruffled Valentino creation that she wore to the 2010 Golden Globes.

Rex FeaturesChloe Sevigny – Short Shorts
Denim hotpants are one of the mainstays of Chloe Sevigny’s wardrobe. We love how she plies their versatility – for example, by dressing down with a cardigan and T, then up again with fashion forward socks and clogs.
