Sarah Jessica Parker on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’. Classic NYC style from the quintessential NYC girl.
Julia Restoin-Roitfeld andCarine Roitfeld in Balmain Fall 2008. Okay, it DOES get better - French women in the French house du jour.
Michelle Williams at the premiere of Synecdoche, New York. Purple and tiered; I’m sure I’ve seen this before, but when it looks this good, I’m not sure I really care.

Michelle Monaghan in Versace Fall 2008. In the past I’ve brushed off Versace as bedizened, pin money clothing at its worst. This makes me reconsider.
Lily Donaldson in Balmain. It doesn’t get much better than this - an English girl in the French house do jour.
Dita Von Teese in Christian Dior. Teese acquiesces to her go-to designer once again, this time with mediocre results.

Eva Herzigova at the “Che” premiere in Dior. It has all the elemnts of a cookie-cutter Cannes look - a long train, lace, a distasteful helping of diamonds - but here it somehow becomes  daring.
Doutzen Kroes, also at the “Che” premiere wearing Versace. I’m putt off when girls dress according to how “pretty” there are.
Ludivine Sagnier at the ”Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull” premiere during the Cannes Film Festival. I think the proper term for this look is “American starlet”.

I’m leaving tomorrow for New York and returning next Tuesday. That’s right, the North American Fashion Mecca. Perhaps I’ll bump into Marc Jacobs. And save for Ms. Menkes, has anyone ever questioned his godliness?
