It’s rather fitting that in the middle of Summer, when fashion seems to be at its faintest (there’s only so much you can do with a tank top, sandals, and cutoffs), Paris Haute Couture Week brings one of the most dramatic displays of opulence. Rich fabrics and ornate embellishments – lace, sequins, beads! – collide on the runways, and we’re left fanning ourselves not due to the high temps, but due to the looks that take our breath away.
Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite Fall 2014 looks from the couture shows, but more importantly, we predicted where we might see them again soon.
Whether it’s a Zuhair Murad dress that perfectly fits Angelina Jolie‘s good-versus-evil aesthetic, a Valentino gown straight out of a Game of Thrones episode, or a Chanel frock that we are certain Keira Knightley will be requesting in her size, we’ve matched the most notable looks to the stars who’d do them justice on the red carpet.
