New York Fashion Week is in full motion, which means we've kept our eyes peeled on both the front row and red carpet to find this week's leaders in chic. And boy, what a week it's been!

First on our radar were two lovely ladies at the 2015 NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 6: One being Gugu Mbatha-Raw (also a style star from last round), who wore a belted, embroidered Burberry dress. The gown's soft yellow color and simple silhouette made this red carpet winner for the night, alongside Kerry Washington's ultra-sexy (and Valentine's-ready) red lace Zuhair Murad confection.

Reese Witherspoon, meanwhile, attended the 2015 BAFTA Awards on Feb. 8 in an eggplant-hued Stella McCartney gown that hugged her figure in all the right places.

Dakota Johnson has been making the red carpet rounds for her starring role in 50 Shades of Grey, and the 25-year-old knows how to turn heads. Her plunging white Saint Laurent gown, which she wore to the film's London premiere, was not only jaw drop-worthy but also one that solidifies her as a style maven to watch on our lists.

And finally, Blake Lively's post-baby body literally blew us away: For her first outing since welcoming a daughter with Ryan Reynolds in December, the actress attended the Gabriela Cadena show wearing a slim-fitting monochrome midi from the designer that made all other looks (yes, even those runway ones) seem irrelevant. Blake paired her look with an oversize blazer, crisscross pumps and a sunny yellow clutch. This right here? Mommy-chic at its finest.
