JUMP!

Jumpsuits have always taken up residence at the bottom of my list of do's, but a new crop of them is showing up and with flattering cuts and proper proportions and changing all that.

Toni Collette and Dakota Fanning both work jumpsuits that actually work.

Lacroix in wonderland

Christian Lacroix's haute couture was full of whimsical designs I'd love to see on fashionistas like Gwen Stefani or Rihanna. These looks are not for the faint of heart.

The best of couture

Elie Saab wiped the floor with their haute couture show. In fact there were too many cocktail and dazzling formals to pick just a handful. With detailed beading, swipes of lux shining fabrics and dramatic lines this collection full of subtle shades offers a dozen show stoppers.

Neutral with a POW

Givenchy's haute couture may have come in with a whisper in terms of color, but the rows of delicate detailing and soft sweeping fabrics scream fabulous.

Valentino's diversity

Valentino's haute couture collection covered the gamut from soft white ruffles and lace jackets to rows of mauvy lavendar and wispy turquoise.

Christian Dior sculpts

Christian Dior showed splendid gowns and dresses that gleamed like fabric sculptures inspired by fine china.

Armani Prive's best

I have no idea who would wear this, but it is fabulous and would certainly be a show stopper on the right gal.

This would work beautifully for Beyonce.

Perfect for a movie premiere.
