Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

This is going to happen. Hopefully without the curtain and with a few extra inches on the skirt. But I could see Emma Stone experimenting with having one blooming shoulder.

It weeps for what might have been.

Seriously, grandmothers had no idea how hip their underwear would become.

This ribbon belt looks like it was pulled out of someone's Christmas bow bag and then stuffed back in, six years running.

This looks like it weighs 500 pounds and also makes her look like SHE weighs several hundred of them as well, and that is INSANE.

Sweet lord, what are these dresses DOING to these girls?

This is beautifully made -- one of those things that is stunning in motion down a runway, but on a red carpet would probably make me roll my eyes, because come on.

However, I REALLY want someone to wear this. It has to be the ideal someone. Like... Solange. Or Zoe Saldana. Or... do we think Jessica Biel could sell this? My instinct is always "no" with that one, but if she got her hair right and found the best red lip shade... you know, this is exactly what I wish Katie Holmes had worn when she first split with Tom Cruise. I wanted her to come out swinging like THIS.

That's quite neat, and probably more Biel-ian. It'd also be kind of fun on, say an Anna Kendrick.

When I see this, all I can hear is little Christa B. Allen's voice from 13 Going On 30: "Thirty and flirty and thriving! Thirty and flirty and thriving!"

I love this. I want Selena Gomez to love it too.

That looks like a china tea set. Actually, did any of you ever read the Frances books when you were kids? Frances wanted a tea set in that pattern. I think she had a red one but wanted the blue. It was tough times for her.

This is pretty, and also would make a wonderful bedspread. Sometimes the two are not mutually exclusive.

... Yeah, it's better the other way, when Miss Muffet doesn't look so much like she's wearing her tuffet.

This is all stuff I expect to see in HUGELY watered-down versions.

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

Did anybody actually stand back and look at this after it was finished? Or rather, "finished"?

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

Wow, her left breast must have a terrible cold.

Paging Rooney Mara.

It's a moving high-fashion homage to carrying your bedsheets to the washing machine.

Pretty idea; pretty weird look. Or maybe the reverse.

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

Didn't the Queen just wear this on her head at Royal Ascot?

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

So, do we think the dress ripped, or that it's supposed to look that way? I think it ripped. And I think it would've been really interesting otherwise -- I'm feeling Mila Kunis, but secretly wishing Angelina Jolie would go against type in it.

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

COME ON ELLEN BURSTYN.

This feels like the type of thing a bold young thing will wear -- like, a Lily Collins type -- not realizing that it's Advanced Red Carpet stuff, and also possibly a trick question.

Poor girl, being turned inside out like that while she's at work.

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

I simply love this. Maggie Gyllenhaal? Rachel McAdams?

Giambattista Valli: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Haute-Couture F/W 2013-2014

Meryl Streep? Russell Brand?

If Lady Gaga ever decides to come back from Injured Reserve... and weirdly this also has a Kristen Stewart feel to it.

It is also insane from the side, but makes for a good photo.

I always refer to this model as Catwalk Elisabeth Moss. I hope never to refer to her outfit.

When they all get drunk after the show, I hope this model entertains everyone by using her head to feed them things off their dinner plates.

There's a lot more pretty herein than in some of the others, but also, plenty of crack. Just the way we like it. [Photos: Getty] [Full Show: The Cut]
