In addition to the enlightening panels, outrageous shopping, and unbelievably fun workouts, we found one more way to get inspired at POPSUGAR Play/Ground [1]: staring at the celebrity red carpet.
When stars like Mindy Kaling and Kate Hudson [2] walked up to the event's step and repeat, we got a good look at some new must-have items [3], like Kate's gorgeous, powder blue Preen dress, which highlighted her growing belly (and also happened to sync up with our company colour), and Martha Hunt's Michael Kors Collection coordinates, which had just the right amount of schoolgirl influence.
We don't like to pick favourites around here — especially when the powerful messages we got from all the stars, models, and leaders are still playing equally over and over in our heads — but Yara Shahidi [4]'s quirky Prada ensemble might stick with you the longest. Read on to see what everyone wore and shop pieces that are still available, too.
