Look for Victoriana-esque details on a lace top to up the pretty factor. By teaming her blouson-sleeved version with smart black slacks, Rosamund Pike keeps the look sleek and modern. Keep the hair tousled and make-up minimal – you don't want to look too 'done'.

Sometimes less is more, which is why Jenna Coleman’s sneaky glimpse of lace beneath her boyfriend blazer is street-style gold. Teaming delicate lace with tough leather separates gives an instant rock chick vibe.
