St. Vincent's Annie Clark Achieves Peak Aesthetic

The Brit Awards happened in London Wednesday night, and when we rounded up the best of the red carpet, one very stylish lady snuck past us: Annie Clark, a.k.a St. Vincent, a.k.a. the dream #aesthetic.

Styled by Avigail Claire, Clark wears look three from Balenciaga's spring 2015 collection, a playsuit with sparkly hips and sheer sleeves. The all-black ensemble is topped off with a coat (because it is still cold, after all) and sheer tights, which are something of a (practical!) staple for Clark.

All that black is broken up by a pair of red patent sculptural heels. Also, I am still unclear on how she manages to do the jacket-as-cape thing and not come off as an enormous asshole. What is the secret, Annie?!

Clark is back to dark brunette after experimenting with various shades of bleached-out platinums and lilacs when her (Grammy-award winning!) album "St. Vincent" debuted last February. Hair stylist Pamela Neal let Clark's locks go wild and curly. Things got particularly interesting on her face: Not only is there a bright red lip, but makeup artist Lucy Gibson also swiped a bit of yellow eyeshadow above the crease of Clark's eye.

Not a look a lot of people could pull off...but then, I remain unconvinced that Annie Clark is even a real person.
