What's your favorite flavor of couture lipstick: cherry, lemon or lime? At the Dior show, I noticed a lot of deep blood reds, but the looks on the On Aura Tout Vu runway stopped me dead in my tracks. I know that Shu Uemura makes those true-color, Rouge Unlimited artist shade lipsticks, but I've just never seen them worn. These ladies look lovely, and I appreciate the artsy risk—but Read more
Clad in Giorgio Armani Prive, an attention-loving fashionista can go from the office straight to the red carpet in an instant. By work-appropriate attire, I mean an office that demands high-fashion, high-drama and glamour to the max (think The Devil Wears Prada). That's exactly what Armani delivered this time. Suits with tulip skirts and low necklines oozed sexy sophistication that only a Read more
Claire's got a snake on her dress! I've got a sweet spot for snake motifs, but I'm not really feeling it with this one-shouldered number - it just doesn't seem to flatter her. Elle, on the other hand, is still living up to her nickname: "The Body." I love the lace panels and the sleeve of her dress. Who wins in your book?!

You're looking at two very different looks on Jennifer and Eva. The former is very glamorous Grecian, while the latter is elegant and understated. Both are appropriate, but I'd take Eva's look in an instant. Who gets your vote? Source Battle of the Valentino: Hudson vs. Mendes Jennifer: Her fancy look is more appropriate for the event. Eva: The white dress against her tan skin Read more
How romantic both Elizabeth and Uma look in their lace frocks. This is a tough one because both looks are super flattering. I am leaning towards Elizabeth because Uma's ruffles are a tad too distracting. You? Source Battle of the Valentino: Hurley vs. Thurman Elizabeth: Love the cleavage and lace combo! Uma: Ruffles and lace are darling together. Neither - gasp! Read more
You can never go wrong with black - in my book, anyway! SJP goes all silverscreen goddess on us with her asymmetrical gown, while Anne does an embroidered and embellished version of the floor-length gown. I think both ladies look very classy - if a little safe. What do you all think? Source Battle of the Valentino: Parker vs. Hathaway SJP! Once a Carrie, always a Carrie! Read more
Here we have two ladies in red: Sienna in feathers and Claudia in bows. Although the tight bodice on Sienna's dress flatters her, I prefer Claudia's gown because it's unlike anything I've seen before. Who gets your vote? Source Battle of the Valentino: Miller vs. Schiffer Sienna: This is the boldest and best she's ever looked! Claudia: I love the bows and how you can see a bit Read more
Valentino really went all out this time around - but why shouldn't he? He's celebrating his 45th anniversary in fashion! No doubt about it, the show was extravagant: marabou, sequins, fur, and lamé went every which way. Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, and Diane von Furstenberg all populated the front row. The models looked dressed and ready for a ball, and Read more
Chubby furs, neutral colors, and whirls of fabric and feathers - that's what Givenchy couture is made of. As a relatively young designer compared to the others who helm the great French couture houses of Dior and Chanel, Riccardo Tisci is still finding himself within the bounds of the House of Givenchy legacy. However, he is starting to pull together a few signature elements: the puffball Read more
The Chanel couture show may have taken place amidst rainy weather, the front row attendees may have ruined their shoes in the mud, but the clothes were anything but downtrodden. In fact, the bad weather made the stunning designs stand out even more. The show opened with variations on the classic Chanel suit, with detailing from sequins to leather to feathers, and closed with the bride covered Read more
