Put the right lady in this, and the right makeup on her, and that's fetching. Cameron Diaz is a little too messy and body-con sometimes for me to think she'd wear this, but if you can imagine her with a great red lip and the right hair, that works right?

It's tough when doilies disintegrate.

This reminds me of a much better version of the Reem Acra that Kristen Stewart wore to the Oscars one year. Sorry, K.Stew. I didn't mean to bring up painful memories.

So beautiful. A lot of Elie Saab's stuff feels familiar, and I think it's because much of it contains echoes of previous seasons -- to the point where it's like years and years of cohesive work, which is cool. Sometimes the wheel does not need reinvention. Sometimes it just needs to look good at a premiere.

I AM wholly ready for this style of thing to END MY GOD END IT NOW.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
So achingly pretty. Kate Middleton should wear Elie Saab.

I also love a big dramatic skirt, as you know.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
GO BIG, everyone. GO BIG.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I DO think that, while pretty, this feels a little TOO samey.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
ALSO so beautiful. Picture a Vanessa Hudgens in this -- with the right hair and lipstick, she'd knock us out. It'd be so grown-up.

But these days I feel like people only want something if there's an illusion of nudity. Sigh.

Oh, man. Wow. I just... wow. Picture Halle Berry in that, instead of the crazy shit she likes to put on her body. If Lupita wanted to go more classic, too, she'd kill in this.

This moves very well, but man, it's hard to keep one's bits corralled in that.

This screams Chastain to me.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Whereas this just screams. HAR. But seriously, that is too much tulle for me.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Very Taylor Swift, no? Or actually, maybe Taylor Swift from like two years ago.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
STUNNING color. Imagine Zooey Deschanel's eyes if she wore that sucker. Intense.

Another one in the "very simple, VERY slitted" vein.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Yessssssssssssss.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
The arm part and the bodice don't harmonize for me here. I JUST WANT PEACE.

Dear Diane Kruger: DO IT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. YOU KNOW YOU'RE FEELING IT. DO IT. DO IT NOW. #NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK

This version is ALSO cool. Summer movie season had best bring it, y'all. At the very least, someone's Cannes trunk should have this in it.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I might wish it ended as it began, but it's still so pretty that I can't object.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This makes me want to tromp through snow and then come inside and drink hot chocolate.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That Dior contract is SUCH A WASTE OF J.LAWR'S TIME.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I LOVE a bridal gown on a runway. I also love THIS bridal gown on a runway. It's the dreamiest cloud.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
And then there's always something that makes me think of the "Snow White and the Huntsman" press tour.
Elie Saab : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
And always something with granny panties.
