Love It or Hate It? Jean-Paul Gaultier Reaches New Heights
Never one for subtlety, Jean-Paul Gaultier made the haute couture styles at Armani and Dior look positively Pollyanna-ish in comparison to his show. Models wore orange tape under their bangs, while some sported elaborate spiraling updos. Obviously these are fantasy-fashion styles, but as far as over-the-top looks go, do you like this?

Go Backstage at Christian Dior
Despite the gloomy economy and reports of designers changing their Fashion Week plans, nothing seems to stop haute couture shows. And why should it? At today's Christian Dior show, fantasy reigned.
Haute Hair: Paris Couture Week's Best Looks
This week was Paris Haute Couture Week, where the famed fashion houses of France show their most extravagant creations. I rounded up the most outstanding hairstyles (and some makeup — I couldn't resist) to give you a report on what's coming. There was a lot of texturized volume, and also a lot of sleek styling — I wonder which trends will make it into magazines and onto celebs?
Do You Appreciate Haute Couture Hair?
At yesterday's beautiful Chanel haute couture show, models wore hairdresser Katsuya Kamo's intricately designed paper accessories on their heads. True to Chanel's heritage, they were either black or white, and many incorporated the house's signature camellia flower. I thought these details added a sense of fantasy to the clothing, but I have friends who prefer the more wearable hairstyles of ready-to-wear fashion shows.
How Do You Prefer Keira Knightley's Bangs?
Actress Keira Knightley has been the face of Chanel for several years, so it's no surprise that she attended the house's haute couture show. Her Jane Birkin-style bangs and sultry makeup did not disappoint. To contrast with her traditional clothing and play up her blunt fringe, makeup artist Kay Montano focused on Keira's eyes for a smoky effect.
Which Lipstick Do You Prefer on Megan Fox?
From her well-publicized love life to her abundance of promotional appearances for her latest flick, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, there's no denying that Megan Fox is having a moment. The 23-year-old, often compared to Angelina Jolie for her smoldering good looks and edgy qualities, gets an A+ in the art of lipstick palette choices. Most recently, at Giorgio Armani Prive's 2009 Fall Couture show in Paris, the young star wore some bright matte red lips paired with darkly lined eyes and heavily arched brows — somewhat reminiscent of Barbie's 1950s look from the Barbie Loves Stila Beauty Cans 1959 #1 Ponytail Doll ($40) set.
