Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
This is a strangely beautiful ode to butterflies.

This may be the LESS beautiful version?

And this is the one I feel like Lupita might try one day.

And this is the one that feels like it'll turn up on one of those Unexplained Fashionistas like Camilla Belle, at some Art of Elysium event.

Love these or hate them, the work what went into it all is undeniable.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Although I guess they ran out of bird.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
That's quite charming actually, in spots. It's so weird that it's heavily beaded and yet you can still see her chest pretty clearly.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
As is usual with these, I wish the tulle patches weren't there, because the workmanship on the rest is so striking.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
That is very romantic. If Duchess Kate ever wore Elie Saab, she'd look pretty in that at an event.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Would I RATHER she turned up in this, with its Full Crackpot feathered bodice? YES.

That's lovely, but boy, is that color tough to wear.

Doesn't Yoda live on this planet?
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
This color palette and this gown transport me RIGHT back to The Great Muppet Caper -- the second time that movie's been mentioned today, in fact -- and the fashion show where the great Diana Rigg is narrating the entire thing as the girls walk out, calling them things like "Delicious Darla" and describing their clothes in detail and then finishing gleefully with, "and a teeny-WEENY hat!!!!!!" I yearn for that to happen at New York Fashion Week.

In white it looks somewhat mangier.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
I kind of want Kristen Stewart to wear this in, say, blood red.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
There just aren't enough formal robes on the red carpet.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
J.Lo, the phone's for you.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Lord. There is ALWAYS one. In that sense Elie Saab is the Marchesa of couture week.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Angelina, maybe?
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Hello, sweet friend. I LOVE YOU.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Hello, sweet sibling to my other friend. I should adopt both of you because it'd be cruel to separate you.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Eh.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
I don't dislike this, but I'm also bored of the Champagne color. Then again, the concept might be too garish in a hue?
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Breathtaking.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
Sigh. Another "finish what you started" deal.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
All I can think is, "There is no way that woman is getting a picture of the whole dress from that close up."
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
I like this color. I kind of want to paint a wall this color. Or my nails. I'm really into gunmetal apparently.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
This folded bodice is happening a lot right now -- we saw it three times at the Globes (I think we skipped showing you Nikki Reed, because whatever) and once at the SAGs. I'm sure it's just beginning.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
We saw a similar one in baby pink. The more I look at it, the more it's a LITTLE Disney for me, in a weird way? But I am not mad at it.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
I would love to wear something like that just ONCE to see how it feels. I hope someone trots this out. Like, Naomi Watts or Zoe Saldana at Cannes, say.
Ellie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015
But I mostly just want someone to wear this at Cannes. ALL of this. CAN YOU IMAGINE. Freida Pinto, going full bride on the red carpet? Divine madness. I always root for that over divine perfection.
