Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This is SPECTACULAR, except for one thing: the cups on the bodice. The visible heavy corseting gets in the way of the floaty elegance of the rest of the look. But oh, MAN, is the rest of it lovely.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
And this is so dramatic and wonderful. I'm trying to think who can carry off this much dress, and I am coming to: Cate Blanchett.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Don't you wish Angelina would wear something like this, instead of the unimaginative dreck that's usually trotted out on her? This dusty rose color would be such a neat, unexpected treat. And not for nothing, one of her first appearances after her mastectomy was in a Ralph & Russo dress that was also fantastic. They need to hang out more.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
It should go without saying that when I note that I like this, it's with the caveat that in the real world it needs some kind of lining. That skirt is divine.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
It should also go without saying that this is a clunker for me. Every fashion show has one to three things that seem designed for a Kardashian or an Ellie Goulding or a J.Lo. I accept that it's impossible to make a perfect clean run through 50-plus looks without SOMETHING wacky.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Kate Beckinsale, maybe?
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Solange all the way.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
That's empirically gorgeous, if impractical. It's a BIT "Kim Kardashian Renews Her Vows With Kanye."
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
THIS is totally Angelina. The safe but elegant pick that will not look wrong but also won't be as interesting as I want it to be.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
COME ON CELINE. You can leave your hat on.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Hmm. One of the Emmas?
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Zendaya. Well, actually, I have one picked out for her later, but she is legit the person who could wear this and make us smile instead of groan.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I love this. I kind of want Amy Adams to show up at something in this with an awesome mod beehive. It would completely defy expectations.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
With the caveat that I know this will be nutty on a red carpet... this is so gorgeous.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Florence Welch, wherefore art thou? I would also accept Pregnant Blake Lively in this, because it would be hella entertaining.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Line this marvel and give it to Allison Janney.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Ciara might be wearing this RIGHT NOW.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This is very Emma Roberts or Elle Fanning to me, but I'd love to see it on... let's see... Yara Shahidi, maybe. It might not be quite interesting enough for her, but it sure is gorgeous.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
SO FAB. I basically want EVERYONE to wear this. I might retract my earlier Beckinsale, because this would TOTALLY speak to her, but it should also speak to everyone else, ever, in the world.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Do we think this dress is meant to sit this way on everyone, or does it just do it on this model? It's SO LOW. It makes her torso look as long as her legs.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Wouldn't Jennifer Garner look good in that? It's froofier than she usually goes, but I am all for branching out.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This was obviously made for Sean Penn. It will suit him so beautifully.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This feels like a Selena Gomez joint to me, largely because I think she would like the thigh-high slit.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I'm not into those exact boots, but the punk styling touch is nifty with this, and makes me wish Kristen Stewart ever wore this line.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
That top is so pretty... I'm curious if this will work if and when it's deployed. I ALMOST think the top doesn't jibe with the skirt.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This is so Liesl Von Trapp.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Without the jacket and the hat, I could see that turning up on GMA one morning while someone is promoting her summer movie.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I LOVE this minidress. Love. It.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This is also very Angie. But you could also stick it on, say, La Streep, who does not always dress like the fox she is.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I am desperate for Jennifer Lopez to wear this. PLEASE, JENNIFER. Do it for your lovers.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I want to take the tissue paper off her chest and stick it in the skirt.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Whoever wears this basically can't ever take off the cape, because with it would go ALL the interest.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I will pass on this one.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Not totally sure how and where this fits in with the rest of the collection, but I can't argue with the color.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Cool on a runway; not sure it'll translate.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Flawless. I yearn. Naomie Harris, are you out there? Have you seen this?
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I don't think we needed another one of these. The whole collection, in fact, could have stood to be two dresses shorter. It's almost like the second one exists to make the first feel cohesive.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
DO IT ZENDAYA.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
That's gracefully done, but also does look a BIT like a strangling waiting to happen.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Hmm. Elizabeth Banks? It might not be dramatic enough for her, honestly. But it's soothingly lovely.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Dreamy. DREAMY. Nina Dobrev feels like she's due for an AAHHHHH moment. Maybe she'll bite.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I feel like Emma Watson would wear this, but not see-through, and probably -- if we're being real -- with pants.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I want Taylor Swift to wear this to the VMAs. ALL of this. She cannot skimp on the hat.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Hmm. Margot Robbie?
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Miley, in a tasteful upgrade from the stuff she usually wears that's all belts and laces?
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Kate Middleton, you should branch out.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
I am NOT feeling she general shoe theme of this show, I must admit.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Okay, no, THIS one for Kate Beckinsale. That other red and pink one can go to literally anyone else because it's fab, but this is RIGHT in that Icy But Dramatic sweet spot of hers.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
Oh, Charlize. I wish you wore less Dior.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
The dress underneath is SO GOOD. The skirt if runway-lovely, but... basically, I'm looking forward to a discussion of whether the eventual wearer altered it correctly.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
This came out right before the bridal gown, so it's probably half on purpose that it feels very bridesmaid-adjacent.
Ralph & Russo at Haute Couture Week, Autumn/Winter 2016-2017
And, for Celine Dion's eventual vow renewal with Rene's ghost, we have this. (I don't mean to be glib. But given the extravagance of her two weddings, can't you just see her celebrating the anniversary of his death -- or their next wedding anniv -- having a lavish ceremony reaffirming her love for his spirit?)
