Runway Report: Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture

 This morning in Paris one of my favorite red carpet designers Elie Saab debuted his Spring 2014 Couture collection. The collection that is entitled 'The Promise of Spring' embodied an extremely glamorous woman who bloomed with the pastel colored florals of an English garden. With a color palette that consists of pale budding pinks, blue hydrangea, lilac, rose d'or, pure white, and some charcoal black the collection really embodied spring. I can see these gowns on the red carpets of the Academy Awards, Met Ball (as this years theme is Charles James: Beyond Fashion), and the Cannes Film Festival. A whole slew of actresses, singers, and red carpet elite come to mind as I see each look stride and float ever so elegantly down the runway. I can see Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong'o. Amy Adams, Berenice Bejo, Emilia Clarke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Bosworth, Michelle Dockery, Sandra Bullock, Taylor Swift, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Hudson, Julia Roberts, Nieves Alvarez, Kerry Washington, Nina Dobrev, Reese Witherspoon, Emmy Rossum, and Celine Dion wearing among many others. Perched along the front row included Cannes Film Festival regulars Olga Kurylenko, Paz Vega, and Princess Clotilde Courau. I can see these women working the red carpet at the Palais de Festivals in Cannes in several of these gowns and only time will tell which ones make it. Bellow are my 4 favorite looks from the collection and my initial thoughts on who should wear them. What are yours?
