Versace Couture

Beyond Gorgeous!

Its not enough that Versace was stealing the fashion spotlight with its collection for H&M, Nope, Donatella has to give us a masterpiece of a couture collection! Versace has not shown a couture collection since 2004, so this year Donatella made sure to give us something to blog about. 

Donatella's theme and message were pretty clear, she as accentuating the womanly figure. Gowns were kept skin tight and hips and other curves were exaggerated with little gold wire inserts that created some great shapes. These gowns are made for a strong woman for sure each one of them has a certain fierceness about them (without sounding like Siriano).

Best Dressed at the Awards

All in all there were looks all across the board, there were the ones that I hated and ones that made me actually stare (in a good way). I think actors rotate yearly between categories, just to keep it interesting! Well, without further adieu here is the roundup..

My top looks:

Emma Stone killed it in Lanvin

Lea Michele stayed away from the safe option in this  one-of-a-kind Marchesa gown

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture

BEST DRESSED COUPLE.. they look amazing!

Mila Kunis in Christian Dior

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa

Shailene was one of my favorite looks! For those who don't know, (don't worry I had to look it up too) Woodley is the actress in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She is also along side George Clooney in his new movie and nominated role, The Descendants.

The Actress woowed us all in this gorgeous creation. However, she also wowed us later on that night by turning up in these (see below) at the after party.....

Just... Why?

 And the so-so: (still great, but no wow factor)

Hollywood royalty Angelina Jolie looked great in this Atelier Versace cream colored gown.

Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham. just meh..

Versace and H&M

Coming to stores Nov.16th! Its quite surprising to see how Donatella pretty much slightly altered her signature runway looks and gave them to H&M. Donatella talked about having some fabric constraints in the collection but stressed that this was a collection for everyone. Here are a few pictures to give you a little taster of what you are going to find on the shelves!

Love!

There was definitely more going on in the Versace show than Lindsey Wixson's fall on the catwalk! There was a certain glow about the catwalk during the show. Golden studs were all over the runway, the whites, pale blues gave the whole collection somewhat of dainty, regal quality. 

I want this!

Gorgeous

Some of the gowns at the end raised some question marks in my mind (the starfish) but I was loving the more delicate side of Donatella! The pale turquoise gown, water color motif and those shorts with the gold studs were definitely favorites. 

Cant wait for her collaboration with H&M!!!!!
