I’ve written about it before, but I think Elie Saab makes the prettiest, show stopping dresses for women today, hands down. There are plenty of designers that come close, but to me, Elie Saab is a master at creating silhouettes that are soft and feminine, but still modern, and mixing them with fresh, lush color palettes, and mind boggling detail. I finally got around to looking at the Fall/Winter haute couture collection, and wow. Just wow. All of these gowns would be fit for a princess. They’re show-stopping, truly. Look at the beading, the attention to detail. They’re the definition of regal — dresses fit for royalty. If I were going to the Oscars, you can bet your Governor’s Ball ticket that I would be in Saab.
This is just a small sampling of the 46 gowns that were featured in this show (and I had a really hard time editing it down!). If you have some time, I highly recommend you watch the show. It’s dress making at its finest. Truly inspiring!
Her dresses are my absolute favorite. They are so sleek yet classy. This makes me ready for awards season! Hope you had a great weekend!
Like…seriously they are all amazing. And I thought it was going to say “show me the money”.
It could’ve. Rumor has it that a Saab doesn’t come cheap.
The car or the dress.
Sigh…everything that Elie Saab comes out with is entirely too gorgeous. The details on these are impeccable. Love!

totally agree. he is an amazing designer and just makes women look amazing… i would kill to wear one of his gowns!
I also bow down at the Temple of Saab. My “glam” board on Pinterest is 80% comprised of Saab gowns.
Gorgeous! If I ever were a celebrity who needed an Oscar or Tony dress, I think one of these would have to be it.
(somehow don’t think I should be holding my breath….)
Right? I don’t understand how there are any other options for celebs!
Did you know you can buy tickets to award shows and be a seat filler? Years ago,
I took all my residents (yes, I was an RA for ONE YEAR, OKAY?) to sit in the
bleachers at the Emmy’s. Trust me when I say that 50% of the people going to
these things are not really celebs!
I totally agree! Elie Saab is one of my favourite designers, and every time I post about him on my blog, it’s always a long rave about how much I love him and his collections! These dresses are just gorgeous! x

Agree! Elie Saab has been a favorite of mine for several years now. If I could get married all over again, I’d definitely splurge on one of her gorgeous gowns. Thanks for the pretty post!
