This whole line was very Marilyn Monroe-inspired -- I know this because the soundtrack involved a variety of Marilyn vocal bites and a variety of Marilyn musical numbers. (And closed with the Moulin Rouge version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."

Kate watchers, of course, remember this fern frond very well from their NZ/Oz tour, and you will see it again A LOT here.

For ladies in the market for a sleeve.

That beaded jacket was SO GREAT in person. With jeans? BE MINE.

This felt like an homage to a dress Monroe famously wore in Some Like It Hot, and someone will surely wear it.

This length is going to be tricky for some people. Maybe this dress should be handed out primarily to short celebrities.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Technically, I suppose THIS is the longer version.
Jenny PackhamNew York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
More leaves! More sleeves!
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
I LOVE this. Please, someone wear this. Jessica Chastain?
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
A bit twee for my taste, but well-suited for a younger actress, like a Hailee Steinfeld.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Jenny, I will never speak of this again if you won't.

There's always a moment i a fashion show where you think, "is this thing about to go off the rails?" I call it The Trough, and we're in it.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
I have doubts about a non-model making this work in any real way.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This did not seem as BROWN in person.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
I do like a built-in necklace.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
And we are OUT of The Trough. I'd wear this a little shorter, but who doesn't need a sequined day dress?
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
A little Cambridge blue for your money.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
As jumpsuits go, this is pretty. Damning with faint praise, I know.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This. Is. GORGEOUS.
Jenny PackhamNew York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
BEADING!
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
I thought this was stunning in person; I'm worried it doesn't translate as well on camera, though I DO think it might look great in sunlight.

One ought to look happier when draped in gold.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This feels so Scruples to me, which is a compliment.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Perfect for a photocall for a va va voom actress. I'd put THIS on Chastain, too, actually.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This didn't look quite as droopy in person as it does here.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Can we get this on, like, Kristen Stewart? Wouldn't that be a fun change of pace?
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
THIS I was neutral on in person, but I think it's really pretty in photos -- which is where most red carpet looks, anyway, live and die.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Let's just quietly put this back in the wardrobe.
Jenny PackhamNew York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
I barely even noticed this dress because I was super fixated on how SLOWLY this particular model walked. It was clearly taking the model behind her GREAT patience to keep from lapping her.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Have you been looking for something that suggests nipples, Kate? HERE YOU GO.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This is totally dreamy.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
...then we pop over to Boca Raton.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Although I enjoy this. Let's give it to Zoe Saldana, once she has HER royal baby.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
It will not surprise you that I love this, since I love a yellow chiffon. SOMEONE will wear this. Let's give it to Chastain AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO HOOK UP PACKHAM AND CHASTAIN, OKAY?
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Christine Baranski? I'm calling it.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
This is also fantastic. How about for Lupita?
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Let's just mail this to Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Jenny Packham New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 15 New York September 2014
Oh, patterned ballgowns. I enjoy you always. Shall we see if Taylor Swift can pull this off?
