Karen Elson recently stepped out in a leather pencil skirt, making the piece look both lady-like and summer appropriate with a sheer blouse. Elson isn’t the only celebrity braving the heat in leather that isn’t just your typical belt, bag or shoe.
Salma Hayek walked the Cannes red carpet in a Gucci red leather dress and other fashion followers have been wearing this usually cooler weather material into the summer months. Of course, no trend is safe from – or done as interestingly by – Lady Gaga who cleaned out the Versace archives of leather for her “Edge of Glory” video. We’ve collected some of our favorite leather looks for your viewing pleasure.
