LIVE At Dior’s Couture Show: Tuxedo Jackets, Peplums, Pastels and Canary Yellow Ballgowns!

And this sparkler is the finale gown, a long organza & tulle dress with futuristic pink embroidered front and blue floral embroidered back. Bravo Raf!

Simons is mixing it up with tailored black trousers under a fuschia pink gown. We didn’t expect that!

We’re loving the structured ballgowns as opposed to the standard swishy fare. We’ve also seen T-shirts. On the Dior Couture catwalk?!

Hello canary yellow! This high-waisted evening skirt teamed with a long-sleeved top is nothing short of show-stopping.

Check out this splash of tie-dye on a full satin ballgown. Anyone else reminded of Alexander McQueen with this one?

Has Kate Middleton’s coat dress style influenced the designer?

How very Natalie Portman at the Oscars. According to Dior’s Twitter, the pastel colours, one of the Dior staples, are injected through the embroidered feathers on evening dresses.


A chic cut off dress strolling through the salon…

Lindsey Wixson wowing in white. Is the peplum over cropped capris the new silhouette?

This is gorgeous! And so Jil Sander, no?

Very Raf-at-Jil peplum. Didn’t he say he’d do florals?

The first look is a black wool breasted tuxedo jacket with black wool cigarette pants. How interesting to be starting with YSL’s signature style…

2:03 The show is about to begin! Can you see Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci on the right looking dapper in a white shirt and low-key jeans?
1:56 The FROW-ers just keep on coming. Princess Charlene of Monaco looks exquisite in a soft pink knee-length frock with a ruffle at hem while Olivia Palermo is working a sleeve-less top with an on-trend peplum paired with short-shorts showing off her slender pins. Not long now until the show starts…


1:47 Check out Donatella Versace going matchy-matchy with daughter Allegra in co-ordinating LBDs and strappy sandals. Ooh, and is that Grazia‘s very own Paula Reed we spy? Yep, the mavens of high-fashion are out in force.

1:43 Jennifer Lawrence and Natalia Vodianova are in the building!

1:39 Marc Jacobs and Diane Von Furstenberg are among the designers attending the show.

1:30 Flowers, one of Christian Dior’s obessions, are the central point of the set for today’s show at Dior. According to the French fashion house’s Twitter feed, there are a MILLION flowers adorning the walls of the 5 private salons housing the show today.
