Elle Macpherson may just be aging backwards. The supermodel stunner arrived at the Golden Globe Awards showing off her enviable figure in a body-hugging Zac Posen gown. Piping and detailing at the bodice highlighted her form, while a fishtailed tulle train amped up the drama — but she didn't hold back on accessories either. To finish, Elle went bold with oversized gold earrings, voluminous waves, Kotur box clutch, and an armful of colorful diamond-encrusted bracelets. How do you think she did?

Kelly Osbourne went for Old Hollywood glamour at the Golden Globes with a floor-length sapphire blue Zac Posen dress, complete with structured shoulders and a pin-tucked waist. Her new purple-tinged hair was pulled back into a simple, chic bun; similarly, she kept her makeup super neutral with a pretty pink lip. She finished the ensemble with a gorgeous diamond cocktail ring, metallic nails, and a sparkly black clutch. Are you a fan of Kelly's look?

>> Chinoiserie and couture shapes come to a head in Zac Posen's Pre-Fall 2012 collection. Or, as the designer put his inspiration: "American Royalty takes a trip east — this collection was inspired by 50s American couture, Charles James, and Cristobal Balenciaga." Nipped waists and flared skirts were Posen's silhouette of choice for this opulent outing.

>> Zac Posen riffed on the idea of wardrobe essentials — with a twist — for his Spring 2012 Z Spoke collection. "There's no need for more essentials that are basic," he explains. "These have a bit of fashion to them." To that end, Posen's essentials are dressed-up, playful, and full of the designer's signature feminine detailing: lean-cut trousers come in shiny two-tone faille or tie-dyed lace, shirt dresses in whisper-weight seersucker, and skirts in swinging full flares. There's plenty of wearable whimsy too — a swinging "disco tent dress" in shimmering sequins, a floaty ruched-chiffon neon shift — and lots of lively prints, like an "acid" cheetah in chartreuse and lemon, ditsy florals in abstracted batiks. "This is a wardrobe, and it's nice to be able to mix it up and show the diversity of it," Posen says.
The collection's diversity carries through to accessories as well, with luxe Nappa leather totes and embossed-croc satchels mingling easily with brightly-colored iPad cases and studded clutches — which run from $225 to $695. See all the looks from the Z Spoke Spring 2012 lookbook — modeled by Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Tennessee Thomas, Stephanie LaCava, Yaz Bukey, and Laura Love — and peek all the accessories, here in the slideshow.
Zac Posen made his return to New York Fashion Week with a hefty dose of drama and intrigue. Floor-sweeping gowns are Zac's specialty, but this season he's outdone himself, offering up impeccable tailoring, sexy corsets and boning, and lots of Old Hollywood glamour. Plunging necklines were equally matched by fishtail skirts, and ample textural details delivered high-impact silhouettes on every look, while Posen stuck to deep reds, blues, black — and then surprised with a pop of lively green. It's a collection begging to be worn on the red carpet. Just click through to see all the looks.
>> 'Tis the season for fashion critics to sharpen their pencils — and, so it seems, do the same with their words. Both Cathy Horyn and Robin Givhan have some choice thoughts on Nicolas Ghesquiere and Zac Posen, respectively.
Horyn writes in the New York Times: "The fact is, some forms just become worn out ... though he is not a showman, there is a growing impatience with Nicolas Ghesquiere. His experimental treatment of materials at Balenciaga has been exciting to behold, and necessary, but more and more the effect is like jumping on a spring-shot mattress. What happened to the cool street chic of Mr. Ghesquiere of a decade ago, when you actually saw women wearing his clothes? People who followed his career from the start probably appreciate his technical leaps and are willing to indulge him for the sake of creative freedom and the sheer hope of being knocked off their chairs ... But I suspect that our extremely materialistic culture, with the grab-and-go mentality fostered by the Web, just makes new fans itch for something to wear."
And Robin Givhan tells Page Six Magazine of Zac Posen: “Zac reminds me of another era in fashion. He’s a maestro. It reminds me of a time when there was an embrace of fashion as this fun, entertaining industry. He’s got a lot more competition now. [Early on in his career] he was one of only a few young guns. But people like Jason Wu have cut into a lot of the razzle-dazzle that he once owned. When you burn that white hot, eventually you burn out. That overwhelming hotness has cooled off.”
