Beautiful, dramatic, sculptural and romantic. Nothing says haute couture like face framing over-sized ruffles studded with pearls. It’s a pleasure to watch Claire Waight Keller explore her design aesthetic at Givenchy.

Typically when I think of latex, I don’t think haute couture. However, in Givenchy’s latest couture collection, Clare Waight Keller moved beyond preconceived notions of latex to create pieces that were intricate, luxe and thoroughly modern. This particular look mixes lace, pearls and latex. It’s a combination I would have never expected to work, but I must admit this particular incarnation is divine.

I’m enamored with the direction that Maria Grazia Chiuri has taken Dior since she took the helm at the fashion house. This latest collection featured an array of ethereal chiffon and Chantilly lace dresses in nude and blush tones. Soft, beautiful and refined, the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2018 dress in this illustration features sunray pleated chiffon in the palest shade of pink. Dainty drop earrings embellished with colorful but delicate animal figurines lend a whimsical touch to the whole look.

Strong, bold and sexy. Jennifer Lopez was nothing short of divine in this Balmain dress, which was custom made to fit the “Heavenly Bodies” theme of this year’s Met Gala. The dress was embroidered with jewels and featured an ostrich feather train and a thigh high slit.

Zendaya in Giambattista Valli Couture is easily my favorite red carpet look from this year’s Oscars. This sumptuous one-shoulder dress features layers of draped chocolate brown chiffon. A shimmery brown smokey eye and elegant top knot complete the look. The overall effect is elegant and regal.

At the Giambattista Valli Couture Fall 2017 show it was all about ruby lips and fancy frocks. There were so many divine dresses in this collection, but I decided to focus on 2 dresses for this illustration. I started with this lovely gown in a delicate shade of pink, with a bodice embellished with dainty bows and flower petals. The second runway look in this illustration features a deep wine-colored draped silk chiffon floor-length gown accessorized with vintage jewelry. I’m sure we’ll be seeing several dresses from this collection on the red carpet in the months to come.

Here’s my illustration of one of my favorite looks from this year’s Met Gala, Blake Lively in Atelier Versace. This custom gown features a plunging neckline and is draped with gold chains. Also, the train of the dress is adorned with feathers in stunning shades of blue. This Versace dress is beyond exquisite!

I love these two runway looks from Elie Saab’s Spring 2017 Couture collection because they are a modern take on retro ladylike glam. Both dresses feature a figure flattering silhouette rendered in sumptuous fabric and adorned with gold and jewel encrusted embellishments. To me, these dresses are every bit as sexy as body conscious designs.

Stunning from head to toe, Hailee Steinfeld wore one of my favorite looks from the Oscars red carpet. I’m certain that the reason I like her overall look is because I am enamored by looks that epitomize an ethereal and edgy aesthetic. Taken alone, this Ralph and Russo dress, which features folds of translucent fabric covered in hand painted flowers, is gorgeous. I love that her styling team opted to leave the dress sheer, rather than line it. The sheerness keeps the dress from being too saccharine, in my opinion. In addition to the sheerness of the dress, a smoky eye and an almost sculptural updo gives the overall look a bit more edge. The result is an ethereal vibe that doesn’t risk resembling a fairy princess costume. Nothing short of styling alchemy.
