How to Wear Head-to-Toe Black? Jessica Chastain Proves It’s All About the Statement Bag

 The pantsuit had a runway resurgence at Alexander McQueen, Céline, and Maison Margiela, and a handful of well-dressed celebrities are taking note. While Cate Blanchett opted for opulence in a modern-day smoking suit and Victoria Beckham put her posh twist to the tan sack suit, Jessica Chastain livened up an all-black look yesterday in New York with one easy piece.

The head-to-toe black ensemble was in line with Chastain’s modern spin on film noir glamour, thanks to satin touches and a ladylike silhouette. But it was the actress’s It bag that did most of the talking. The Louis Vuitton Capucines PM married practicality with a prim-yet-directional touch. The top-handle tote fit all the essentials, while the floral embellishments lifted Chastain’s look squarely into spring.
