Annual Academy Awards: Jennifer Lawrence in Custom Christian Dior

Jennifer Lawrence in Custom Christian Dior

It is no surprise that Academy Award-nominate actress Jennifer Lawrence was going to wear Dior since she is the spokesperson of this grand French fashion house. The gown she wore was a Custom Christian Dior designed by Raf Simons strapless column dress with a slightly-flared silhouette from the knees down. It also features the very Dior-esque side peplum--an homage to "Le Bar" shape.

Her short hairstyle was "lifted up", making the look very elegant and chic I also liked the necklace and how she wears it "backwards" , having the longer part trail down her back.

Ooopsie: Oh and yes, there is the trip! In typical fashion, it wouldn't be a normal award show for Jennifer Lawrence unless she trips and (almost) falls. And she did just that as she first stepped on to the Oscars red carpet. Thank E! for capturing that moment. This might be a good omen for Lawrence. We shall soon find out.

WHO WORE WHAT?.....71st Annual Golden Globe Awards: Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture Fall 2013

Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture Fall 2013: No surprise here, that Jennifer Lawrence wore Dior. She is the Couture House's spokesperson, of course. Tonight at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, she wore a strapless ivory silk organza gown that is pleated throughout then "cinched" at the waist and below the hips with belts. The hand-made gown is designed by Raf Simons and is from the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2013 collection, which means that if this were to retail, it would set you back approximately $50-$75,000. Take that darlings.

 Canadian model of Eritrean descent, Grace Mahary--Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2013



Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Fall 2013 is upon us and the first shows have occurred. First up: Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2013. The collection--designed by Belgian Creative Director and replacement to John Galliano-- Raf Simons. His collection was based on flags--international flags, as well as influences from America, Africa and Asia. As Style.com said "A revamped Bar jacket was followed by a sporty navy blouson; a strapless dress in tiers of spacey shibori (the Japanese process that produces that peculiar spiky fabric) preceded another strapless number vibrantly banded in shiny tribal colors. Dior himself was something of an internationalist (each collection, Simons reproduces two dresses by the old master as an homage), so it would have made sense to him". The collection was a mix of stiff, folded, pleated--and draped and fluid. It was definitely modern and continuing the Raf Simons-Revamp of the Dior Couture House...

Of note, this was THE FIRST time designer Raf Simons used models of color while being at Dior. Black models. He hasn't yet. And he had been criticized because of it (Good!). It seems he (or the Dior team) listened. And there were six black models on the Dior Haute Couture Fall 2013 runway including Alek Wek, Grace Mahary, Joan Smalls, Maria Borges, Kelly Moreira, and Yasmin Warsame.  Now, getting back to the FASHION...
