Coco Rocha has modeled for top fashion houses, such as Balenciaga, Chanel and Christian Lacroix. And her signature fiery red locks have been featured in almost every major fashion magazine around the world -- she’s on the May cover of Elle Brazil, in fact.

She also hosts the online mini series ‘Canada’s best beauty talent.’ She recently took a break from all that to attend the sixth annual DKMS Linked Against Blood Cancer gala at Cipriani Wall Street in New York where she wore a belted peplum cocktail dress with houdstooth bodice and lace-up booties, both by Jason Wu.

The peplum has emerged one of the biggest trends for spring. Structured, peplum-adorned pencil skirts and flirty dresses, pretty peplum corsets and gothic lace peplums all made appearances on the spring runways at Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent and Cushnie Et Ochs.

To copy the look, add a new dimension to your silhouette with the Lucky date dress from Modcloth.com for $44.99 or get Rocha’s vibe in separates with the Paprika belted peplum skirt from Rarelondon.com for $52.07 or Asos cute Peplum mini skirt for $54.54 and a textured white blouse such as the speckled geo blouse for $13.80 from Forever21.com.

Punctuate the pretty peplum with a sleek skinny belt and black booties. Get the topstitched skinny belt from J.Jill for $9.99, the Who R U laceup booties by Bronx from Piperlime.com for $79.99, or the Matt Bernson booties from 6pm.com for $65.40.
