GLAM OR SHAM?: Natalie Portman in Viktor & Rolf at the 2011 Golden Globes


All anyone in Hollywood (and the fashion industry) could talk about for the past few days is what Natalie Portman might wear. I've heard it all from "Dior - since she's the face of Dior Cherie" to Rodarte who designed the costumes for her incredible movie, Black Swan. The final verdict? The No Strings Attached actress surprised us all with a dress from Viktor & Rolf (though Dior and Rodarte need not worry; there's always The Oscars).

The dress is a couture strapless, multi-layered column gown in dust-pink silk satin adorned with a hand-embroidered Swarovski crystal red rose. Fancy! While it sounds beautiful, I think it was a little busy for her glorious, pregnant round frame.


She paired it with gorgeous Tiffany & Co. jewels that compliment that pregnant glow.




What do you think of her look? Glam or Sham?


Kisses,


Coutura

Abstract Fashion

Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010 RTW
pictures and information from style.com
When i first saw the pictures from the Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010 RTW runway show, my first reaction was WOW! The designs reminded me of an abstract painting by Picasso. Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren cuttulle ball gowns, and the effect was surreal and a piece of art. From holes to slices, the Viktor & Rolf Spring 2010 RTW was a one-of-a-kind collection.

Viktor & Rolf Facts:
-Their full names are Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren and these two Dutch men began designing clothes in 1993
-Viktor & Rolf both attended and graduated from the Netherlands' Arnhem Academy of Art and Design
