Is this what Katy Perry wore to marry Russell Brand recently in a wedding ceremony in India? The Cut seems to think so. If so, it’s a right good choice – the finale look from Elie Saab Couture, Fall 2010 collection. Saab consistenly floors us with his incredible gowns, season after season – even ready to wear. I might be tempted to get married just to wear one if his lovely creations…

Rachel Zoe Must’ve Pissed Herself- Elie Saab PFW Spring 2010

Collections like this aren’t usually my favorite, but Elie Saab’s Spring 2010 was gorgeous. I even loved a few of the one-shoulder dresses and I’m sick to death of the one-shoulder look. I can imagine celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe having a field day with this, as every piece seems prime for the red carpet.

I would love to see Tilda Swinton in that second in from the left above. Or Kerry Washington in the embellished black number below. Which red carpet jockey do you imagine in these fine frocks?
