Darlings of the FROW

Everyone knows that those in the FROW of any fashion show are scrutinised just as much as the clothes on the catwalk.  Couture fashion week may not be as high profile as the RTW fashion weeks that we are all accustomed to seeing all over our twitter feed, but that doesn't make these frow guests any less fabulous and worthy of our attention.

Two of my favourite style icons at the moment have both appeared at the two most substantial fashion houses this week, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart at Christian Dior and Chanel respectively, both rocking slightly daring looks compared to their usual red carpet numbers.

Jennifer Lawrence, the current face of Miss Dior, wowed in a full Dior ensemble and nailed two trends at once - baring the midriff and the ever questionable skirt/trouser garment.  Whilst the look might come across as slightly too try hard for many a star, Jennifer's slick hair and basic aviators dressed the ensemble down and made it look (almost) wearable.

Wearing head to toe Chanel, Kristen Stewart showed that you can have alabaster skin and still have perfect pins.  Whilst the leather gloved look isn't one that I will be trying anytime soon (Michael Jackson anyone?), it's something that K Stew, in all her grunge glory, actually manages to pull off whilst paying homage to Chanel's sometimes infamous Creative Director.

Despite the fact that Kristen originally was notoriously against the whole Hollywood/Fashionista stereotype, the star has certainly come into her own with the past years public appearances and her teams an oversized tweed blazer with barely visible leather shorts.

My favourite thing about this look?  Her hair.  I never fail to be jealous of the Twilight actresses hair, even when she has it scraped back and greasy it somehow looks better than mine after professional styling.

Couture Fashion Week: Atelier Versace

With Cameron Diaz and Diane Kruger both in the front row for the first show of Couture Fashion Week, Donatella Versace is showing more than even that this is her year.

Not content with two sell out H&M collections, the launch of her Childrens wear collection, she has now revived her Atelier Versace collection by showing it on the run way for the first time since 2004.

The collection was a bright one, with hues of green, orange and yellow, all shown on mirrored stairs almost as an emphasis of the futuristic/architectural silhouette to the dresses.  Whilst Donatella's models are otherwise known for their tanned appearance, these models were all but pal wonders, with slicked back hair and smokey eyed make up to make them appear that bit more sultry.

Versace's Couture collections have, for the past 8 years, shown only on the red carpet (most recently on Angelina Jolie at last weeks Golden Globes), but this was most certainly a comeback to remember.
