How Coco Chanel changed the course of women's fashion

It's Paris Couture Week, so all the A-list celebs are sitting front row and decked out in their designer best. Along with Jennifer Lawrence and her conversation-starting outfit at Dior, Rihanna is making waves at the shows too. And I'm dying over her update on not only the white shirtdress but also the classic Coco look at Chanel. This is definitely not your typical blah white shirtdress ensemble (and I'm not 100 percent sure what her undergarment situation is here either). But I'm loving how she tempered the sizzle factor of her clingy unbuttoned-to-here/up-to-there dress with elegantly classic cap-toe pumps, a small quilted handbag, and layers of ladylike pearls. You can totally co-opt this look for every day by working around a more versatile, boxy shirtdress and, well, buttoning up.
