Red Carpet Report • Marni For H&M Launch Party

A lot of starts attended the Marni for H&M Launch Party on Friday evening in LA. The collaboration between the Italian brand with H&M is designed for Spring 2012. The collection features silks, quirky prints and a few of Marni's signature garments, like cropped pants and pleated skirts. This probably is H&M's most coveted collaborations yet, due to the gorgeous materials and designs. 

Lily Collins didn't opt for Marni for H&M but for a look from the Marni Spring 2012 collection. The actress donned a pale blue dress. Lily completed her look with white pointed-toe ankle strap heels, a white clutch and long, cascading curls. Jessica Chastain opted for a sleeveless tribal-printed dress with a black V-neck. The actress styled her look with a thin black belt, also by Marni for H&M. Jessica teamed her (I think it's a custom) dress with black platform sandals, her hair was in a chic, teased updo.

Freida Pinto also was spotted at the launch. The Indian actress wore a bright blue and tan colour-blocked dress. Freida also accessorized with Marni for H&M pieces, a black belt, a black sequined Peter Pan collar, knee-high socks and black strappy sandals. I am totally loving this look, especially the matching make-up, except for the socks. Jayma Mays wore soft colours (not a part of the collection), donning a gold mini-skirt with a mint shirt, paired with a white blazer. The Glee-actress styled her ensemble with a box clutch and nude pointed-toe heels.
