Monique Lhuillier delivered sexy silhouettes with thigh-high slits in her Fall 2012 ready-to-wear collection. Focusing on a basic black and red color palette with a few hints of color, it's the decadent sequin and leather details that make this collection shine. Watch our runway video to see the gorgeous gown that closed the show and other looks from the line.
Debra Messing was classically beautiful in a black one-shouldered Monique Lhuillier gown. From the intricate ruching to the dramatic train, Debra's dress is styled to perfection. Meanwhile, green and purple gem earrings and a matching ring inject extra sparkle to her exquisite look. For makeup and hair, Debra went with a tousled updo, dramatic smoky eyes, and frosty pink lips. What's your vote?

Paula Patton may just be the sunniest lady at the Golden Globes. The actress is wearing a gorgeous, bright yellow strapless Monique Lhuillier gown with a sleek fishtail hem, and she finished the look with Kwiat jewelry and a Judith Leiber clutch. We love Paula's swept back, half up-half down hairstyle (it shows off her awesome earrings), as well as her pretty, polished makeup. Her dark manicure also pairs perfectly with the brightness of the dress. What do you think of Paula's look?

We're always glad to see Buffy back out on the red carpet, but tonight in her blue Monique Lhuillier ballgown, Sarah Michelle Gellar is a ringer for Cinderella. Granted, it would be a very modern version of the fairytale, with the gown's blue ink-in-water print and Sarah's sleek ponytail. She's playing with cool tones in her makeup and accessories as well, with lilac-rimmed eyes and coordinating drop earrings. It's all very put together, but does this look deserve a happily ever after?

Monique Lhuillier is known for her elegant designs, but her Spring 2012 collection has a sporty influence — and naturally, the backstage beauty experts were part of the team. Manicures were inspired by almond milk, the Nike swoosh inspired the makeup, and hair was both chic and sleek. Read on to find out how it all came together.

Monique Lhuillier took her Spring collection to the edge this year showing a heavy helping of bold colors, leather and lace insets, and body-con cuts. Inspired to highlight the woman's silhouette, the designer delivered a sporty, athletic edge to almost every look by adding seaming details to highlight the body along with cutout details. Lace also came into play and was sewn on yellow and hot pink trench coats, giving a sexy edge to a tried and true classic wardrobe staple. The highlights of the collection were definitely the graphic, paint-splattered pieces. A beautiful cobalt blue rendition closed out the collection, drawing collective swooning from everyone in the crowd. Check out more highlights from the collection below, then check out our interview with the designer herself.
Monique Lhuillier definitely knows how to flatter a woman’s figure. For Spring, she showed off body-hugging dresses, off-the-shoulder necklines, and metallic trim. Monique told us backstage about her edgier Spring collection, how to get red-carpet glamorous, and how she balances being a designer and mom.
Monique Lhuillier took her line to a whole new level this season with leather, lace, and body-con dresses. She used a bright palette, consisting predominantly of splashes of hot pink, yellow, and blue. Of course, it wouldn't be a Monique Lhuillier show without a few red-carpet-worthy gowns — watch to see the entire show here!
