Lupita Nyong'o

People ’s “Most Beautiful Person” naturally lived up to her title at brunch, glowing in a strapless silk, floral-print frock from designer Giambattista Valli. Pairing the look with glossy red lips and shiny silver heels, the actress and Oscar winner captured an effortlessly chic style at the spring soiree.

Anne V

When you’ve got it, flaunt it, right? The supermodel did just that with her sheer-paneled sheath dress, which somehow looked perfectly tasteful thanks to its crisp, tailored cut and her laid-back hair and makeup.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Looking like a walking work of art, the Veep actress was ultra sophisticated in her watercolor and floral-print, midi-length Lela Rose dress, which she complemented with tangerine lips and simple red pumps.

Rose McGowan

Working the little white dress flawlessly, McGowan opted for a less-is-more approach with a tiered tank dress, basic black booties, and an oversized black-and-white envelope clutch.

Katharine McPhee

McPhee perfected the spring color of the moment, mint, when she wore it in a cropped, wrapped-front jumpsuit from designer Rachel Zoe. Keeping jewelry, accessories, and makeup to a minimum, the singer and actress was a breath of fresh spring air at the brunch.

Irina Shayk

A pink A-line dress could easily veer into too-sweet-and-girly territory, but the model kept it sporty and edgy in her Versace number thanks to slicked-back strands and pared-down styling.

Katie Lowes

The Scandal actress loves a good monochromatic number, and she stuck with her minimalist sense of style at the annual brunch in a brilliant kelly green sheath dress, printed heels, and a tiny black clutch.

Freida Pinto

Pairing a pretty pink, crocheted pencil skirt with a sheer, powder pink blouse — both from Burberry — the actress was the picture of elegance in her work-meets-play ensemble.

Constance Zimmer

What kind of outfit says “spring” better than a classic black-and-white, floral-print number? The House of Cards actress must have had the same thought, as she rocked the look flawlessly with hints of yellow at the annual garden party.
