Long before there were supermodel dynasties and new faces with Hollywood connections, there was Marisa Berenson. The granddaughter of Elsa Schiaparelli and groundbreaking model of the 1960s, Berenson has been a Vogue cover girl, Stanley Kubrick muse, and one of the world’s best dressed women. Throughout her many incarnations, she’s maintained a love of bohemian fashion that makes her choices original—and at 70, she’s as chic as ever. Stepping out today to attend Dior’s Spring 2018 show, Berenson selected a papaya-colored skirt from the brand’s recent Western-themed Resort collection. Covered in black floral embroidery, the piece was striking, especially when paired with a matching turtleneck and layers of ornate jewelry.

A master at accessorizing, Berenson added a black turban, oversize sunglasses, and gold chains adorned with stones and crosses. Combined, the pieces in Berenson’s look provided an eclectic feel different from what anyone else in the front row was wearing. It was proof that designer Maria Grazia Chiuri’s ethereal collections aren’t meant only for teen runway stars—the new look is ageless.
