MIU MIU MOMMY

Posted Mar 16 2009 @ 09:47 PM

Continuing to enjoy her time abroad, Jessica Alba checked out Miu Miu at Paris Fashion Week on March 12 in a very daring ‘fit. I get that she was going for the avant-garde look, but what IS that thing around her shoulders? Capelets might be hot right now but that doesn’t excuse this mess! When I first saw it, it reminded me of the Project Runway episode when Chris March got eliminated, pretty much for using real human hair as fur trim. Does anyone else remember? Some of you might not like it just because it’s fur, but for me it’s the color and texture that doesn’t work. It’s a kinda creepy! Besides the hairy misstep, Jessica enjoyed the show in a murky satin sheath dress (try Prairie New York’s elegant Pleated Satin Shift Dress in Black, and add Autumn Cashmere’s chic Flutter Sleeve Bolero with Crystal Button in Black if you feel chilly), once again wearing tights paired with some interesting pumps. Love the red accents on the strap but it looks like they’re too big for her feet, don’t you think? Not liking the hair either – Jess slicked her tresses back with a skinny triple headband and gathered it in a messy bun, emphasizing her uneven (ahem, receding?) hairline. Not exactly her most flattering look! The one thing I do like is the clutch – the studded look is perfect for going out (if you’re a fan check out CC Skye’s Bolt Clutch in Black, or add a little pop of color for spring with Linea Pelle’s Danielle Clutch in Fuchsia). What’s your verdict on Jessica’s Miu Miu look? Other celebrity fans at the Fall 2009 RTW show included Eva Mendes and Rachel Zoe, all seated in the front row, of course. Attendees took note of Jessica’s rapt attention to the last few items on the runway, especially the sheer turquoise blouse tucked into a decadent burgundy skirt near the end. Complete with matching tights, it has Alba written all over it. What do you think of the look, and the rest of the collection?
