We've already covered the jaw-dropping beauty look by visionary Pat McGrath, and we'd expect nothing less to accompany this spring 2017 collection, which the house of Margiela calls "artisanal." It was the sort of collection only John Galliano could dream up. Since he joined the mysterious fashion house in 2015 after a long absence from fashion design, we've watched him put more of himself into each range as his confidence rises, and this seemed to be an amazingly wacky culmination of that.

 There's a reason Elie Saab is a regular on the red carpet: The man knows his way around a beautiful evening look. For the Spring 2017 haute couture collection, Saab pulled out all of the stops, presenting a range filled with intricate embroidery, luxe fabrics, and high-shine embellishment, all rendered in rich shades of blue and gold. If nude dresses have become passé, no one has told Saab, as there were enough sheer options to keep celebrities showing off their well-toned bums for years to come. But Saab also caters to his more modest clientele, offering formal looks with sleeves, pants, and covered décolletage.
