Okay, so Paris Fashion Week was like a month ago, but I’ve been busy with March Fabness, and don’t pretend you’re not still dying to know what I think about the Paris collections anyway. So here it is.

Red Carpet Predictions: Paris, Fall 2011
After nearly obsessive deliberation, I proudly present my final red carpet predictions of Fall 2011, hot off the runways from Paris Fashion Week.
Runway Recap: The Best of London and Milan
London Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week are over, and the world’s fashionistas are now in Paris for the final round of Fall 2011 collections. So it’s time for a brief recap of what went down the runways these past two weeks.

Part Three of your Red Carpet Predictions is here! Coming to you straight from the Milan runways, here’s what this Diva thinks the stars will be wearing from the Fall 2011 collections.

Diva’s Choice: Editorial vs. Runway vs. Red Carpet
Some of my favorite and least favorite gowns from the Spring 2011 collections made it into Italian Vogue’s February 2011 editorial. Let’s compare the gown in the Vogue spread vs. the Spring 2011 runway version vs. that same dress on the red carpet. You be the judge!
Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Spring 2011
Best of Pre-Fall 2011
Best Separates: Diane von Furstenberg
Not every great look needs to be one dramatic, complex gown. Sometimes a perfect combination of beautiful, simple, classic pieces is all you need. Every item on the model is something that belongs in every woman’s closet, and most importantly, all the pieces can be worn separately. The colors are so 1970s meets Thanksgiving Day (that’s a compliment, I swear). All the cranberries and burgandies and oranges are just perfect for fall.
Most Likely to Dance on Ice: Jason Wu
Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2011. Model: Ming Xi
Is ice skater chic a thing? Because, I never thought I’d say this, but it totally should be – as long as Jason Wu is at the helm. I’m loving the slightly rouched bustline, the cinched waist, and the short but flowy skirt. The color-blocking is perfection: the ivory, iced baby pink, and almost metallic, dusty red are to die for.
Most Fabulous Print: Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2011. Model: Viktoriya Sasonkina
A perfect fit, fabulous accessories, and beautiful silhouette enhance this totally gorgeous fall print. It’s not easy to rock an orange-and-black dress without being Halloween-ish, but on the runway, it’s phenom.
Coat of My Dreams: Burberry Prorsum

No words. I’m too busy drooling.
Best Mix of Old and New: Reem Acra
Reem Acra Pre-Fall 2011. Model: Sacha Blue
That mauve lace, the high neck, and the general ornateness of this look make it feel totally vintage and antique. But the length of the sleeves and the embellishments on them feel completely modern, even futuristic, and absolutely unique. A definite home-run of a cocktail dress.
Cate Blanchett’s Academy Awards Gown: Jason Wu
Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2011. Model: Julia Saner
We all love a good red carpet prediction, and I can’t think of a style diva more fit for this glamorous gown than Cate Blanchett. She’s got the flair for the dramatic that this gown demands. Add a black underlay to hide those nips, and Cate will have Oscar gold.
Christina Hendricks’s Emmy Awards Gown: Monique Lhuillier
Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2011
Strapless, voluminous, and assymetrical? Check. A color that would look brilliant on the red-headed Mad Men star? Check. A thick fabric and tight bodice to rein in a huge pair of titties? Check. Here’s your dress on a silver platter, Christina Hendricks. Act accordingly.
Best Bridal: Naeem Khan
Naeem Khan Pre-Fall 2011
Elegant, delicate, and breathtaking. The perfect gown for a bride who wants her wedding to have that romantic, vintage feel.
