Celebs at the Valentino Spring 2008 Couture Show at Paris Fashion Week last week included Gossip Girl's Blake Lively who wore one of my favourite white dresses from Valentino's Spring 2008 RTW Collection, Eva Herzigova also in a little white dress with cropped black jacket and Eva LaRue who wore a black high-waisted skirt and a gorgeous white ruffle blouse.

The collection had some fantastic individual pieces, most notably the cream lace top and matching lace skirt (above middle).

The coats were feminine and sleek in bright all over colours with minimal details.

Florals were a big theme from prints to embroidery. The floral dresses were very ladylike especially teamed with elbow length gloves.

There were also lots of pretty cream and beige dresses in sleek sexy styles with plunging necklines and ruffles.

Shoes were mostly silver courts.

There were very feminine gowns, my favourite being the floral, chiffon off-the-shoulder number (above left) which was figure hugging yet soft.

Shiny fabrics were also used a lot in the Valentino gowns in pastel colours like lilac, green and pink.

Some of the gowns has sleek, straight sillhouettes and incorporated beading as well as silver and gold metallics.

They mostly had fitted bodices and layered or curve skimming skirts.

And the show ended with classic Valentino white gowns.

There were many styles including a trendy one shoulder number and a gown with a plunging neckline, cropped sleeves and a silver bow around the waist.

My favourite however was modelled by Chanel Iman and was a beautiful strappy lace number with chiffon panels wrapped all around.

Top model Natalia Vodianova wasn't on the runway at the Givenchy Spring 2008 Couture Show at Paris Fashion Week last week but the beauty did show up to see the designer's new collection wearing a one shouldered LBD.

The edgy collection began with a range of curve enhancing coats in black, white and pastels, each with a fitted waist and flared bottom.

The individual pieces encorporated a lot of leather and sheer materials. Sheer blouses were teamed with skinny leather trousers and one of the stand out pieces was a long sleeveless leather jacket.

There were certainly some crazy dresses in the collection which showed off the artistic and adventurous side of the designer...

Whilst some of the other dresses were more wearable but equally creative using feathers and metallics.

Footwear was inspired by ballet shoes with criss crosses wrapped around ankles and legs.

Of course the collection included classic LBDs, mostly with ruffled underksirts in a contrasting colour and all worn with tights in a variety of colours.

The collection even channeled a bit of Wonder Woman with the funky headwear!
