Liv Tyler: She Wears It Well Liv Tyler pulls off this season's flippy skirt style with a little help from Givenchy. The flippy, knee-length skirt is this year's answer to last year's pencil skirt and like last year's pencil skirt the reason it's great is because it does a lot of the work for you. Liv Tyler, at a charity event in New York earlier this week, demonstrated the look to perfection. She called us live after the entree and broke down how she did it like this: 1) put on skirt 2) put on jumper 3) put on high heels 4) remember keys/wallet/phone 5) go to event And, hey presto, there you are at the event in your instant A/W '13 look! Obviously Liv had her makeup and hair done first and obviously I am lying about her calling, but you get my drift. READ: The Knowledge: Liv Tyler on how to find your own style Also (Liv didn't say) it really helps if the skirt is by Givenchy. Or if you don't have a massive corporate beauty deal with them, make sure at the very least your flippy skirt has something interesting about it in a style similar to a Givenchy skirt - a sheeny texture, some flattering stripes, perhaps a little embellishment or interesting contrast fabrics. Liv's friend Stella McCartney has done a blue one like that. It means that you can then keep your jumper and shoes really simple. READ: Amanda Seyfried replaces Liv Tyler as the face of Givenchy beauty I apologise for the annoying, sarcastic tone to my voice today but it's just something Liv Tyler brings out in me. It doesn't mean it's not all sound advice. And it doesn't mean she doesn't look really, really nice.
