Elie Saab: Watercolor Floral Skirt

10:54 AM

For this post we figured it was time to do a post on someone who has inspired our fashion style, and even our blog’s address. Elie Saab’s big break came when Halle Berry wore his sheer flower-embroidered and red taffeta gown at the 2002 Oscars.

Ever since, Elie Saab has been a dominant force in fashion and is perhaps the best thing that has happened to red carpet gowns since Valentino and Versace. Elie Saab has a legacy of stunningly beautiful dresses, and they have been worn by the likes of Angelina Jolie, Emma Stone, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Mila Kunis, Emma Watson, and Katie Holmes.

Elie Saab's Spring 2014 Couture Collection was no different. One particular gown worn by Maria Borges stole the show and inspired this ensemble.

Our take on Maria’s gown features a floral midi skirt and a simple black-laced top. The focus of this outfit is the floral patterned skirt, so we thought some red suede pumps and a matching red lip would compliment the colors on the skirt.
