Style Icon: Lucille "2" Austero

At the Desi awards, which recognize excellence in Spanish language daytime television.

Lucille Austero is Lucille Bluth's best frienemy and counterpart, and their dressing has a lot in common. Both favor sequins for their many evening events. Both have impressive collections of fine and costume jewelry. Perhaps these similarities are why 2/3 of Lucille Bluth's sons are attracted to the Widow Austero. However, as Lucille 2 is curvier and a little older than her bestie, she tends to favor more flowing and less tailored silhouettes. 

Read on for more fabulous day and evening looks! 

For day, Lucille's dressing is characterized by basic black with accents of vibrant colors and bold prints in either a blouse, jacket, or pants.  As my best friend Edwin pointed out, her black turtlenecks and scarves are important as the neck is one of the areas that most shows age.

For evening, Lucille 2 is all about sparkle and age appropriate glamour. And a Newport socialite of her stature has lots of chances to break out the sequins.

Feathers are also key to her evening looks.

Here's my favorite Piperlime top that incorporates Lucille Austero's signature all over sequin look. The cute bows in the back make it more wearable for a young person, while the higher neckline in front is appropriate for a woman of any age.
