LOOK OF THE WEEK

Trend Summer jacket with rolled-up sleeves worn over flimsy floral dress.
As worn by Francesca, the new English bride of New York nightlife prince Simon Hammerstein, for drinks at the home of art dealer Kenny Schachter. "I bought the dress at Dorothy Perkins today! And it's a Karen Millen jacket. The heels are Miu Miu and the bag is Lauren Merkin. Is the picture all right? I'm not very photogenic."
COCKTAILS WITH... Sam Ronson: a lesson in looking for your own style, finding it, and sticking to it… Where The Patron Tequila Silver Summer party at Whisky Mist. We drank "Ronsons" - tequila, cranberry juice, soda and lime. PLT: I like your hat. Ronson: Thanks! I have three, but this is the one I wear every day 'cos it fits well. PLT: Your trainers are kind of smart, too. Ronson: These are from my friend Chuck's skate brand, Supra. PLT: What else? Ronson: I always wear Dior Homme jeans, because they're skinny without being leggings. And a good vintage tee.
NEXT! The remake of Fame, the movie, out in September
