Few do drama and excess better than Jean Paul Gaultier: it’s the reason why he’s one of the reigning kings of couture. His latest display for Fall 2016 brimmed with fur, sumptuous textures, and sensuality—pieces that made us long for Winter though we’re currently in the throes of the year’s hottest season.
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.

Seriously, this girl is everything wrapped in one: a singer, actress, dancer, entrepreneur, and most recently, mother. However, today we’re adding one more title to her ever growing roster: our Beauty Crush Wednesday.
With full lips, almond shaped eyes, BIG curly locs, and a body to die for, Taylor is definitely one that knows what does, and doesn’t work for her. She’s grown over the years to encompass what she loves most about her beauty routine: simplicity.
Thought her hair may change (she now sports cute pixie cuts and finger wave hairstyles), her makeup tends to stay the same. Quite natural with a nude lip, Teyana keeps her makeup to a minimum, highlighting instead her carefree hair and killer bod.

Many pieces were longline blazers paired with silhouetted skirts, tulle petticoats and simple items paired with classic shades of gold and silver.
Footwear remained minimal to sandals and gladiator form, however, not truly inhabiting the space of haute couture in Dior fashion. The collection also seemingly strayed away from the fitted form, embracing more of a loose, yet still graceful, approach to the Parisian fashion aesthetic.
Makeup was kept to an over-the-eyelid cat eye and nude lips. Slicked back hair or wildly fringed bangs continued the beauty looks of models cascading down the runway, arguably marketing to the young, carefree woman with minimal time on her hands still vying to look beautiful. 
Overall a stunning collection, it left much to be desired of the fashion house powered by new aesthetics and out-of-the-box thinking. Nonetheless, the overall style was simple, polished, and targetable to many clientele.
