Check out my “Top Four” looks from the Valentino Fall 2010 RTW collection:

And of course… Valentino is to red as Tiffany’s is to blue.
.
.
Although this dress is not one of my top four, I’m including it in this post because I predict that, as Rachel Zoe would say, a celebrity will “have a moment” wearing it:

Daisy Lowe showed up to the Alice in Wonderland Premiere wearing this:
Normally I would ask “what are you wearing?” But in this case I guess I can only ask “what aren’t you wearing?” to which one would have to respond “clothes.”
.
I can see where maybe it would be fun to dress a little crazy at a Tim Burton film premiere, but when Mia Wasikowska is wearing a floor length Valentino gown…maybe short and see-through isn’t the way to go. Maybe.

There is no question that last night’s color of choice was…well a lack of color I suppose. Nude is definitely in style for spring.
.
Additionally, nude with a little sparkle seems to be the look people are going for.
Most likely, inspiration came from the Miu Miu SS10 runway.

Compare the above with the 2010 Grammy Awards fashion below:

^Katy Perry’s second…yes second blinged out nude dress of the night

NEXT: Chanel, Sparkles, & Superheroes
Time for a Paris Couture ’10 post! For the most part I was underwhelmed by what I saw… but here are a few things worth mentioning:

Armani Privé’s collection had a definite cosmic theme. A few pieces were beautiful & fresh. Unfortunately, at times all I could think was “Sailor Moon, is that you?” Not going to lie, it upsets me that I even know who Sailor Moon is.

One of the Givenchy looks had me thinking about the Green Lantern movie that starts filming soon.

And this Chanel look instantly reminded me of the white cape Blair wore in Gossip Girl (The Ex-Files).
