The Best-Dressed List: Chicago Edition

We hit the Gen Art Chicago Film Festival to find the coolest looks at the hottest after-parties...did you make the cut?

Definitely the scene at which to be seen, The 2nd Annual Gen Art Chicago Film Festival proved that big name stars like Bijou Phillips aren't the only ones who can sparkle on the red carpet—it seems that local film junkies also have style in spades. From the glamorous Opening Night shindig at the cavernous Ravenswood Billboard Factory to the Closing Night festivities at Enclave, a Chicago nightlife mainstay, citizens of the Second City showed off their first-class style for five nights going—which is no small feat. Below, some fashionable highlights:


"Bart Got a Room" After-party at Ravenswood Billboard Factory
Left: Ralph Lauren cardigan, Forever 21 top, Marc by Marc Jacobs shorts
Right: 3.1 phillip lim dress, Akira cardigan
Why we love it: Both headband-happy honeys are comfortably dressed for a casual evening on the town. Their outfits are cute, flirty and perfectly appropriate for enjoying the warm weather and some ice cream sundaes on the fabulous outdoor deck.

Why we love it: These ladies know how to mix designer fashion with more personal touches to help keep their look unique. Whether perched inside this venue's modern cabin interior or out on the deck taking in the skyline, they looked confident and pulled together.

Why we love it: The indie sensibilities of Chicagoans were more apparent at this wild after-party than on any other night; these girls dressed with sass and a subtle edge that ensured they stood out—even amongst a totally diverse crowd.
