Ordinarily, we are not overly fond of jumpsuits. Believe it or not, however, we thought there were quite a few gorgeous jumpsuits walking the Parisian catwalks this year, and below we show you some of the very best.
1. Project Runway Jumpsuit. This jumpsuit, designed by Phoebe Philo for Celine, has an interesting detail that we feel like we've seen week after week on Project Runway. In fact, we're wondering if Ms. Philo talked to Michael Kors, former creative director at Celine, about his time on PR because this detail is unmistakably PR. That's right. It's the very shiny, very exposed zipper Unlike the PR zippers, however, Ms. Philo has placed her zipper in the front rather than the back of the garment, and we think we rather like it (although we're not sure about the way it ends right at her lady parts). What we love most about this jumpsuit, however, is the shape at the top. We also quite like how minimalistic it is. For jumpsuits, which are so often associated with the seventies, the cleanness of the lines in this garment make it, in our eyes anyway, super modern. Plus, we think it's super sexy and could be a bold statement on a Red Carpet. We could see someone tall, slim and edgy pulling this look off. In other words, we could totally see this on Keira Knightley.
2. Nobody Does a Jumpsuit Like YSL. Next, Stefano Pilati for YSL, presented several jumpsuits, but this particular jumpsuit, we drooled over. The exposed shoulder and cutout down the front is so sexy, and oh, so ooh la la chic. We think Charlize Theron, who is not opposed to risks, would look lovely in this.
3. Jumpsuits Worthy of Oscar. The next jumpsuit, by Elie Saab, we saved for last as it's the most glamorous and evening of the three. We think the right actress could even wear this ensemble to the Oscars and look right at home, even while creating a stir. We think Natalie Portman might be the lady to wear this jumpsuit. What do you think dear hearts?
Stay tuned for Part 2 of our Rachel Zoe in Paris Feature...
I want to like the first one, and I actually do like the zipper on the front, but the hips seem a little too loose for me. I agree, Natalie would look great in that last dress, but at the same time, I can't see her wearing something with the open stomach like that outfit. It's very Jerry Hall/Club 54.
ReplyDeleteI think Eva Mendes could work for the second one, and while I don't like her, I could see Fergie in the last one.
ReplyDeleteLBD-Agreed on the hips being loose on the first one. That's why I was pretty sure it required someone anorexic to wear it (thus Keira Knightley!). I was a bit iffy on that open stomach for Natalie, too. I wasn't sure who could actually pull it off though. Bridget, Fergie actually could be a better pick for that last one(we know she's not afraid to show off the goods). Eva Mendes is also a good pick for the second one.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at these pictures and I still don't know how I feel.
ReplyDeleteI love jumpsuits, even on bigger girls, they can still be quite flattering. The only problem is that I have rarely seen a short girl pull one off. I like these.
