NATALIA VODIANOVA'S WHITE FAIRY TALE LOVE BALL

It comes as no surprise that, with the closing of the couture shows in Paris, that fashion's elite would elect to have some fun at opulently themed parties - and Vodianova's White Fairy Tale Ball is exactly what you would expect from fashion's in-crowd. With the likes of Roberto Tisci, Anna della Russo, Valentino, and of course Natalia herself, in attendance, the party was filled with some pretty lovely people! Guests were asked to wear white or silver (Vodianova, as the hostess, wore brilliant red Valentino). Anne Hathaway was completely stunning in her Valentino gown, and Olivia Polermo looked fantastic as well. My only question: why wasn't I invited? Maybe next year!

NATALIA VODIANOVA DOES VALENTINO RIGHT

Natalia has such great taste in clothes, which is wonderful: it seems so sad when a gorgeous model, surrounded by all the most amazing clothes in the world, can't seem to put herself together. Natalia's style is always well groomed and beautiful, no matter what. Natalia wore the red dress to a party thrown by Valentino himself at his estate outside of Paris on Wednesday to honor his new archive and museum (the dress is Valentino Couture, of course). The lovely nude dress was worn to the Valentino HC F/W 2010 aftershow.

ALL IN THE DETAILS: VALENTINO S/S 2010

Valentino has seen more downs than up recently - it's clear that no one can really ever imagine replacing Valentino at the reigns of the couture house, but Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are exceptional designers with abundant talent. Though the collection doesn't truly embody the designs of Valentino himself, they definitely don't disappoint the eye! They even managed to make a jumpsuit that I would wear - now that is saying something! All the details of the clothes were soft and lovely, just like the well chosen color palette. The designs are definitely young and girly, staple characteristics for the house. The difference is that there was quite a bit less of opulent glamour and (dare I say this) a bit more of savvy modernity. I certainly approve!
PS: Sorry for any awkward cropping, I wanted to show all the lovely details of the clothes!
