Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
That dress is a party. It's high-fashion confetti.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is the Fancy Business Dinner version.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is the boobtacular version. There is always a boobtacular version.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
As much as I love that fabric, it works better when there isn't quite as much of it. I think if they'd done a version with the long skirt and then a white collared shirt, or something crisp to match the long and flowing bottom, then I'd think it was ideal.

To make the slideshows shorter, I do sometimes put two like outfits to one page, but sometimes I just want to look at them one at a time to admire what's happening.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
That is... fabulous. Someone deserving had better get there first. I kind of want Ilaria Urbinati to snap it up for Nina Dobrev, because I want Nina to have all of the pretty things.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
That's nice, too, but I like the sleeker version. Something about the bodice and the belt is jamming my circuits and not in a sexy euphemistic way.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I keep expecting to find this terribly boring, but it's very well-made in its simplicity, so it could actually end up being great.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Whereas to me that's just a glorified Broadway nightgown. You know -- it's sleepwear for the spotlight.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Major shoe fail, but the dress is great. I could do without the V-shaped seam under her waist, though -- it looks like a thong that's on backward.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I'd love that with a wee less leg.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I feel like Quvenzhane Wallis should grab that in Junior size.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
My least favorite of the reds, I think.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is so nifty, even if it DOES put a special garden right over her special garden. It's the type of dress I could see Julia Roberts pulling out for a premiere, even though she probably shouldn't, because she likes a mini and a slightly more... middle-aged cut.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
However, I'd LOVE to see Julia pop out in a full-on gown instead.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Shailene Woodley, with her new short hair all slicked back and some kick-ass mascara and lipstick?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I bet that looked fabulous in person. I'm not sure who could wear it without getting lost. Kate Hudson?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I like the idea but I am not sure about those pants. I wish it were a skirt.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Not wild about the darts... and this looked cooler with the green shoes. A LOT of these shoes, though, give off that dyed-to-match David's Bridal vibe.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Chastain?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Oh, but she loves a lace piece, so maybe she'd go with this instead.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
That color... I'm so happy we've seen so much emerald on the runways.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
EMMA STONE. GET THE RED BACK AND PUT THIS ON IMMEDIATELY.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Let's put that on... everyone. It looks kind of like a creeping mold, but in a way that I like.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Back to lingerie tops, which are not my thing.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
And of course, all the LBDs have to have a little peekaboo in there.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Or a LOT of peekaboo. Can Ashlee Simpson command these kinds of clothes? Because you know she'd want the one on the left.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Of course. Of COURSE there is one of these. It's obligatory, by now, isn't it?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
The black Elie Saab stuff really does feel like it belongs on a lady who sings in a saloon and wears a thigh holster.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
That is a lot of boob emphasis, and crotch emphasis. It kind of makes her chest look like quotation marks.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Kate Beckinsale, maybe?
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
And now the white clothes, which are also underwhelming to me, by and large. Especially whatever is happening on the right, which looks like half of her is zipped into a hazmat shell.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This looks kind of like a reef.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
So much lace. It's like Schoolgirl Bride on the left, and Courthouse Bride on the right.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I mean, I guess if you're going to wear Elie Saab to work... this is the sort of thing Fabulous Editors wear.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is somebody's princess Oscar moment.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
So limp.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Oh, that is really not helping anybody's boobs be their best selves.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is more stuff that's basically tailor-made for all the parties before the awards ceremonies -- Oscar luncheons, lesser awards shows (hi, WGAs and PGAs and DGAs), or small special screenings.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
I feel like Naeem Khan just made these, and it was better.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
Keep it in your hotel room, kid.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
This is a very very cohesive collection, at least -- all of them feel like cousins, at the very least, if not super close siblings. Which is great, but also sometimes ends up feeling repetitive. Did we NEED the nipple version of this dress, and in coral? Maybe this bloodline has procreated enough.
Elie Saab: Runway - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2014
And nobody needs a Prom romper.
