Ralph Lauren Fall 2013
Ralph Lauren loves a theme, especially one that evokes the romance of a far-off land. This season, the designer set his sights on the Russia of Anna Karenina, offering up decadent outerwear, luxe velvet dresses, and grand ballgowns fit for a czarina.
Ralph Lauren Fall 2013 Runway
Ralph Lauren's Fall '13 was, again, another brilliant play on Americana — this time in a parade of fisherman sweaters, furs, and sharp coats, and then luxurious dressing in velour, leather, and finished in sequins. With Ralph, the runway is always a kind of epic narrative — dramatic details, floor-grazing lengths, and rich details that tell you exactly who this woman is. This season, that woman is an uptown sophisticate with nods to Russian decadence. Our full review will be posted shortly; in the meantime, click through for a glimpse of the full collection.

Freida and Cate Face Off in Gorgeous Gowns — Who Gets Your Vote?
Their dresses may be different, but there's one thing Freida Pinto and Cate Blanchett have in common: just how stunning they both look in their red-carpet attire. The two starlets attended the Dubai Film Festival premiere of Life of Pi in jaw-dropping floor-length creations that, quite frankly, make it really hard for us to name a clear best-dressed "winner." That's why we're providing cold hard styling facts, so you can weigh in on what could be one of the most glamorous Monday fashion face-offs we've seen in a while. Freida chose a one-of-a-kind gold lamé Ralph Lauren gown — complete with a jeweled serpent-headed collar — and finished the look off with a Ferragamo clutch and Charlotte Olympia heels. Where Freida may have excelled in gilded silhouettes, Cate nailed a riskier form of ethereal style. Remember this Rodarte Spring 2013 look? Well, the British actress donned this futuristic-turned-romantic dusty-blue gown with natural makeup and a chic pulled-back updo, giving it an altogether softer feel. Are you feeling the utter perfection of Freida's gold number or is it Cate's gorgeous (with just a hint of edge) ensemble that has you sold? Vote below!
