The glamour was on high from head-to-toe, literally might we add. Models’ hair was either coiffed in intricately wrapped buns accented by flat twists, or completely shrouded in circular hooded crowns—be they knit, cozy fur, or another fabric that sprung to Gaultier’s imagination.
The palette certainly skewed Fall, with rich chocolate browns, plum lips and accessories, black leather, olive, and rust.
Wearing Gaultier Couture on the red carpet means you’ll be turning more than a few heads—as well as being one of the most daring women at any event. He certainly made the case for conversation starters here (requisite for his brand at this point) with a one-shoulder green lace gown with tulle trim that took going green to a new level, as well as a strapless brown and green number belted at the waist that executed “garden party” quite literally.
Gaultier continued to live up to his enfant terrible moniker, creating eccentric and avant-garde pieces that completely surprised, oft disturbed, and quite possibly even displeased his onlookers. Not those in the audience of course because if you’re ever treated to one of his shows, you’ll certainly enjoy. Now to see who is bold enough to wear one of these designs at their next high-fashion premiere.
