What’s Cannes without a little couture?
But, as these ladies can attest (and ladies they are, with such poise), couture demands a little care.
I adored both of these black and white haute dreams.


Life is beautiful with a little structure, to keep things in place.
I’ll have more Sonam sightings and a report card on Diane’s dressings for ze tapis rouge, later this week.
