Colorful Hair, Outside Chloe
Fashion has been so centered on clothing, bags and shoes for the past few years that it was easy to forget that there’s a whole other part of oneself to dress up: one’s head! The parade of magnificent hats at the royal wedding was a great reminder of the fashion statement women can make beyond clothing. These colorful braided hairstyles on two women outside the Chloe show in Paris may not exactly be hats, but these plus the bright fuchsia and red lipstick have the same effect of refocusing the gaze. Best of all, unlike skirts, hats and colorful hairdos can be completely outrageous and still be socially acceptable.

Natalia Vadianova at Louis Vuitton
Natalia Vadianova exited the Louis Vuitton show in a gorgeous black velvet coat embellished with silk and sequin lapels. The motorcycle boots are such a departure they look almost accidental – but keep in mind this was the last day of the whole fashion month – high heels were a tall order.

Accessorizing With Flowers, Outside Valentino
Here’s another way to accessorize with florals this spring: carry a bouquet. This industry insider was often spotted with fresh flowers on the way to the shows. The fleurs are not only a nice gesture but a beautiful burst of color that plays off her electric blue and green Prada fur scarf.

Tweed Jacket Embellished With Flowers, Outside Chloe
If, like me, you get stuck in a rut and keep wearing black and gray even though it’s spring, take a cue from this model off duty. She may be wearing a black cowl neck sweater and black lace skirt, but she tops it off with a colorful tweed jacket adorned with flowers. Making an effort!

White Shirtdress, Outside Viktor & Rolf
I never get tired of exquisitely tailored white shirts or shirtdresses – like this one on a model off duty in the Tuileries.
Update: She is Elena Perminov.

Elisa Nalin Colorblocking at Sonia Rykiel
Indeed, chic stylist Elisa Nalin drew the attention of Craig Arend of Altamira and many other photogs this past fashion month. Outside the Sonia Rykiel show, she tackled the tricky job of colorblocking with ease. The colors may be wildly vibrant, but by repeating the purple, yellow and red in several pieces, she applies a Mondrian-like logic to the look.

Blush Jacket, Outside Louis Vuitton
Loved this gorgeous blush pink jacket outside the Louis Vuitton show. It’s the perfect color for this spring – and the sunglasses are just right.

I don’t have enough photos of Zanna Roberts Rassi up – and she was beautifully dressed at Paris Fashion Week! Here she is in a particularly striking outfit of gray wool trousers and a camel sweater with fur sleeves.

Nicole Phelps in 70s Jeans, Outside Chloe
Style.com fashion critic Nicole Phelps was one of the first to start sporting the wide-legged 70s jeans that are hitting stores now. She’s also proof that they look great. Here she mixes them with other themes from the runways, like the 70s redux shearling jacket, sailor stripes and a cool scarf printed with 16th-century tall ships.

Ruby Aldridge in Navy Blue, Outside Chloe
Is navy is the new black? That’s how things are shaping up for fashion muses like model Ruby Aldridge, who made her exit from the Chloe runway in a long-sleeved navy blue lace dress, artfully styled with a belt and sunglasses looped through.
Note that she has mixed navy with a black fringed bag, brown woven belt and white sunglasses, which looks much cooler and more relaxed than a navy blue outfit that’s all matchy-matchy.

Le Grand Colbert
If you have a fantasy version of a Parisian restaurant as a warm, inviting place with soaring ceilings, flattering lighting and fin-de-siecle decor, chances are it’s not your imagination at all, but an amalgamation of the many films shot at Le Grand Colbert. This gem of a restaurant served as the backdrop in Something’s Gotta Give, and like the best movie stars, it looks even better in person. (more…)
Khaki and Orange, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Orange is popping up everywhere in spring fashion. This jolt of color is surprisingly versatile when you pair it with neutrals like khaki.

Prada Monkey Top, Outside Viktor & Rolf
Prada’s spring 2011 collection has been a huge hit with buyers and editors, who wore many of Prada’s colorful stripes, fur scarves and brightly printed tops to the Paris shows. This Prada monkey print top gives new meaning to the term “animal print” and has been just as coveted as the leopard prints of fall.

Caroline Issa at Viktor & Rolf
Speaking of pointy collars, fashion editor Caroline Issa of Tank Magazine also wore a pointy-collared shirt to the Viktor & Rolf show. Even if an exquisitely embroidered blouse like this one is not in the cards for you, a plain white collared shirt will also do the trick. Also, love the mirrored sunglasses and pink lipstick! Full length view including shoes after the jump. (more…)

Spring Color in Cold Weather, Outside Chloe
Yes, it is annoying that the cold continues even when it should be spring. But wearing a black parka in March makes the weather more depressing for us all. Here’s a great example of how to stay warm and look springlike: lighten up the colors and layer them. Outside the Chloe show, this woman expertly mixed texture and pattern in a light palette of blues and beiges. Also, note the pointy collar peeking out over a sweater – a detail being adopted by a few super chic ladies right now.
