Fashion commentary on red carpetfrom @johnmvilla2

Security lady from Cannes would not be happy about this dress, but the rest of us? Rejoice. This is how you do custom Schiaparelli while referencing fashion history, and it might be against the rules. But with a face card like this, who's going to stop her? Ella Hadid wore custom Schiaparelli Couture by Daniel Roseberry Toccan. It's embroidered to look like lace. What the fuck? And it's an homage to the one and only Jane Birkin who wore this dress in 1969 in Paris with a couple of devastating updates. This piece also has a low cut dip front with a beaded black embellishment. Jane actually wore her dress intentionally back to front. This one was clearly made this way. Unlike the very sixties boho fit of Birkin's dress, the construction on this, the sleeves are deliciously skin tight, overly long to just the right point with this open back cuff. The structure of that neckline makes me wanna scream. So smooth and just clean and precise. I have this beautiful tiered mermaid skirt with a demi train. Speaking of the back of a dress, this is quickly becoming one of my favorite Schiaparelli techniques. The lace up back detailing through metal eyelets with this huge bow, such opposing aesthetics that worse so beautifully better. Nods to corsetry rank lace work and the black and white high contrast. It does not get more French couture than that. But is this allowed? Cannes Film Festival introduced a dress code addendum last year banning naked dresses, which may have been somewhat aimed at Better. And this lace is somewhat sheer, definitely not a naked dress as such. But you do get this cheeky view of the bad underneath. And I mean, her belly better is out. And yet, it is incredibly elegant, sophisticated, rank artful. And who in their right mind would tell her she can't walk the carpet in this? We have not seen this tier in a couple of years. Bravo to Bella and Daniel and all the talented worse hands that made this. Let me know what you think. Okay. Bye.
