Finale with Giorgio Armani on runway with models HOLLYWOOD HAUTE COUTURE Hollywood actresses Cate Blanchett and Katie Holmes watched Armani’s Spring/Summer 2007 Haute Couture show from the front row in Paris on Wednesday (January 24.) Hours after her nomination for best supporting actress was announced, Cate Blanchett was on a plane from the United States to Paris, where last night she took pride of place in the front row of Giorgio Armani’s haute couture fashion show. The 72-year old designer, who has a long tradition of dressing Hollywood stars at the Academy awards, will be hoping she liked what she saw. Also at the collection were stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe, ’Nip/Tuck’ actress Kelly Carlson, and Rachel McAdams (“Mean Girls“, “The Family Stone“) whose boyfriend Ryan Gosling is nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars for his role in “Half Nelson.“ Last night’s collection was inspired by the style of the maharajas of India, including details such as a jewel-encrusted scimitar swords at the lapel of jackets with ultra-feminine hourglass silhouettes. The Indian odyssey was inspired by a trip to Rajasthan, but instead of being blown away by the hot and spicy colours, Armani, with his love of neutral shades, focused on the male colours of dust beige and mud brown, adding pearl gray and soft green. Floor length dresses had large sequined ribbons at the shoulders and curvy pinstripe suits were worn with jewelled turbans; silk skirts were worn with slim trousers.
