Borrow a dress from the Narciso Rodriguez Rent the Runway capsule collection and you'll instantly feel like you're ready for the red carpet. The fashion designer, who has designed frocks for everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Michelle Obama, has teamed up with online dress-borrowing service Rent the Runway on a special line; it is actually the first time Rent the Runway has offered a designer capsule collection.
The Narciso Rodriguez Rent the Runway capsule collection includes a variety of evening-ready gowns, from a long, black and elegant one-shouldered style to a flirty red satin version. The dresses range in rent price from $200 to $400, and four of them have been inspired directly by two celebrities: Kate Winslet and Jennifer Aniston. These are the Cut Out Gown and the Ivory Contrast dress. Visit the Rent the Runway website for more.
