I want Diane Kruger to marry Pacey SO BADLY now.

This has such a lovely, vintage feel to it, but could veer toward nightgown on the wrong body -- like, at first, I was going to say you might put an Ellen Page in this, but I think it would eat her alive. I could see Nina Dobrev getting hitched in it, or Shailene Woodley drifting by looking dreamy in her topknot. Or looking 12 with her hair down.

This feels quite royal.

Okay, but for a gown that's essentially see-through or purports to be, how FRUMPY is this? If Camilla Parker Bowles and J.Lo merged, they'd wear this.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
I'm not sure anyone will wear this, for a while -- too close to a combo of Gwynnie's Oscars Tom Ford and Hathaway's Globes Chanel.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Well, it feels like J.Lo has worn every other variation on this theme; why not this one too? Might as well be a completist, eh?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
It would crack me up if Jennifer Garner wore this. Actually, if anyone did. It's so... out there. Naomi Watts should just throw caution to the wind.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Hmm. Would we be mad at the likes of Julianne Hough if she wore this? I think not.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Hmm. You could line that sucker and put it on, say, Sally Field. Especially if it were navy. She likes navy. I think. Shh, I actually have no idea.

Elle Fanning? Or, like, Thandie Newton. Those are two very different people, I realize.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
This is, to me, too Marchesa for words.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Again with the Marchesa-esque. It's sort of the world's loveliest diagram of venereal disease.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Very beautiful, very demure. Do we think... Alba? Theoretically. I'm not sure she's getting an Oscars invitation, and this isn't really post-party material.

This is like the "before" photo for the above dress.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
And there also here for your consideration. I don't really know how I feel about them, and we have ever so many dresses left, so: You're on, Fug Nation. Feel it for me.

Other than a wedding, where DOES one wear this? But if you lopped off the sleeves and took it floor-length, it could attract a Mila Kunis or a Lea Michele, or somesuch. Although, WITH the sleeves and a long skirt, I can suddenly somehow see Rachel McAdams in it.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
So lovely.

<> Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2013 Haute-Couture show as part of Paris Fashion Week at Pavillon Cambon Capucines on January 23, 2013 in Paris, France.

... Lily Collins?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Something about the retro/vintage sleeves on this has me thinking Rose Byrne.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
This is the nippleacious version of the peachy/beige one from earlier. Still love the overall theme, but I am obviously not keen on areolas for spring.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
This is another one I could see on Charlize or Kristen Stewart, although K.Stew would want it in an edgier color, perhaps.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Chastain? It'd certainly be unusual at the Oscars, but it'll be hard to top her McQueen from last year, so she might as well take a big swing. My fear is that if this fits badly on the MODEL'S chest... you can end that sentence however you choose.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
This is the sorceress version of that dress.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Like this color. Although the squiggles of it on the shoulders look like veins, which is a wee on-point if you've just done five vampire movies.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Let's say Freida Pinto. Has she worn much red lately? She could be due.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
This would be a very dignified choice on, say, Rachel Weisz.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
And her husband Daniel Craig could don this to coordinate.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
I could see Jennifer Lawrence deciding this was a blend of edgy and girly that fits her whole aura.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture Spring/Summer 2013
Holy shit. I can't even. Seriously, did Georgina Chapman take over this company?
