Freida Pinto wore this bright John Galliano gown from his Spring 2009 collection to the Oscars. The original was risque and edgy. The changes made to the gown were very much her style; classic and fun. I could have done without that extra detailing on that one sleeve though. Otherwise it was awesome.

Marion Cotillard, an Oscar winner from last year, wore a gown from Dior’s Haute Couture Collection of 2008.  If there were no alternations done from the runway look she most likely would have been a fashion don’t, but the alterations were absolutely spot on for the evening.

Tilda Swinton is always very prim and proper. The Oscars were no exception. She was wearing an off the Runway look from Lanvin Pre-Fall 2009 collection.

Miley Cyrus has struggled throughout this Awards Season to find an age appropriate look. She has looked way too old at each other the other too events, in my opinion. This Zahaur Murad Spring 2009 dress, however, fit perfectly and the glitz & glam was just enough to not go overboard.

Amanda Seyfried, from Mama Mia and Mean Girls wore the color of the evening, red and did it well in this Valentino Haute Couture dress from his Spring 2009 collection. She oozed confidence, but even if she wasn’t feel confident she could probably hide behind that giant bow on the dress.

Sexy, summery shoes of course!

I think this pair of pink patent leather sandals from John Galliano fills the bill nicely

But I’m back, with a functioning computer and mostly recovered from my cold…

So let’s get to the fashion!

These are from John Galliano’s Spring 2008 collection in Paris:

Yes, it’s a typically John Galliano collection – but once you strip away the extreme makeup & look at wearing it as accent pieces, there are some fantastic accessories in there!

Of course, I’ve got a pink leather jacket too – so I may be prejudiced

Paris fashion week: John Galliano Spring 2008

Hmm, promising – I love the detailing on the shoes.

Interesting clasp on the purse, love the ring!

Cute, definitely cute!

I’m not so sure.. the leopard print hat & silk teddy are too much of a pinup-meets-pimp vibe for me.

I’m sorry, I know I’m so fussy about these things, but I like to keep my underwear on the inside of my clothing!

Paris fashion week – Spring 2008: Christian Dior

Isn’t that enough to make your mouth water?

Of course, couture is out of the reach of everyone but a handful of women in the world.  I still appreciate the mastery and opulence of the collections!
