If Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau is in the building, you know you aren't getting standard-issue hair, and the British stylist did not disappoint at Jean Paul Gaultier Autumn Winter 2013. He chopped inexpensive wigs into mismatched bowl cuts layered over the models' hair for what he referred to as a "kind of boyish, punk" feeling. The makeup matched with bold brows that helped to balance the heavier hairstyles. Click through to see more looks from the show.
The rocker chick always has a place at Jean Paul Gaultier, and for Autumn Winter '13, she's taken on a distinct '80s punk vibe. Wherein, the styling is subtly subversive and the confidence of the JPG woman is bolder than ever. Models (with mohawks) took the runway — as "Iron" by Woodkid played overhead — in an assortment of off-the-shoulder silhouettes mixed with loud jewellery, printed and patchwork-infused pieces paired with sweeping floor-length outerwear, and of course, the designer's signature strong-shouldered blazers and pantsuits set in metallic sheens. As for the finale? Models posed seductively behind a Jean Paul Gaultier-monogrammed light screen, which projected their shadowed figures out at showgoers like a scene from a vintage burlesque number. For JPG, though, this kind of epic rock-star showmanship is par for the course. See all of the looks inside.
Ladies, the rumours are true. Chokers — the tight, high-sitting neck accessories made popular in the '90s — are back. In a big way, too — literally. Gone are the days of slim, delicate little strips of black leather; the choker revolution has us adorning our necks with chunky pieces of gold, silver and everything in between. Aussie style icon Christine Centenera has spearheaded the trend, but it's also been spotted on style setters like Jaime King and Jennifer Lawrence, not to mention that it stormed the runway at Jean Paul Gaultier's 2012 Paris Couture Fashion Week show. It's clear that this accessory is going nowhere fast, so best you jump onboard! We've narrowed down our top ten favourite chokers — now all you need to do is click through the gallery and decide which one you want!
Thursday night's red carpet showdown at the Bachelorette LA premiere proved to be quite the Americana-hued affair. Let's recap: Aussie Isla Fisher stepped out in a sexy red lace Reem Acra number, pairing it with nude satin Sergio Rossi pumps and minimalist Bulgari jewelry. Lizzy Caplan went the ultra-curve-hugging route with a white corseted Dolce & Gabbana sheath and sleek gold sandals, while Ali Larter struck a particularly retro note with her navy-striped ensemble. Kirsten Dunst's Jean Paul Gaultier dress not only made us swoon with its perfect shade of cobalt blue, but it also kept our attention with its subtle trench-coat-inspired button detailing and soft neckline ruffles. Her studded Chloé bag and classic Rolex watch added just enough intrigue to keep the outfit daring. With a star-spangled lineup of Bachelorette looks to choose from, which starlet gets your best-dressed vote? 
This week Paris played home to couture fashion week, and although typically speaking the hair and makeup is designed to be avant garde and purely for the runway, there are some elements that can work in reality too. Click through to see the best looks from Versace, Christian Dior, Chanel, Giorgio Armani Privé, Givenchy, Elie Saab, Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier and more, in our round-up of the most memorable looks.
It was all about drama on top of drama at Jean Paul Gaultier's Autumn/Winter couture show held on Rue Saint-Martin yesterday. Inspired by George Sand, a famous female French writer known for wearing men's clothing and smoking in public in the 1800s, Jean Paul Gaultier'scollection was brazenly designed, filled with corsets, top hats, embellished jumpsuits, and pretty much anything else one would hope for in a decidedly theatrical collection. Coloured fur pieces like a pastel tri-coloured jacket showed off even more opulence, while metallic patchwork gave the line a more modern feel. Also of note, the designer featured both female and male models in the show, perhaps to show the unisex appeal, albeit for a more daring personality. Read more details below.
For his third bottle design as creative director of Diet Coke, it seems Jean Paul Gaultier has left his most risqué design, till last. The bottle has been highly anticipated following the release of his day and night themes earlier this year, and we love it! The campaign was shot by Stephane Sednaoui, and the bottle will be available in Europe this month. Want more? Watch the very cute advertisement for the new design, after the break.
The Billboard Music Awards are providing a dose of red carpet glamour to our Monday morning. The music industry always comes up with the frock-watching goods when it comes to awards ceremonies, and today looks to be no exception with appearances from Taylor Swift, Nelly Furtado and Carrie Underwood already spotted in wow-factor looks. Not to be outdone, Miley Cyrus put together a head-turning ensemble, too — donning a super chic, super short Jean Paul Gaultier 'drazer' (that's half dress, half blazer) with monochrome spliced stilettos. It's a little Gwyneth, don't you think? Tell us!
Diane Kruger made her first official appearance as a member of the Cannes Film Festival jury yesterday in Cannes, France. She stepped out in a burgundy mini-dress by Versus and Jimmy Choo heels, which showed off some skin on the bright, sunny afternoon. Diane joined fellow jurors, including Ewan McGregor, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alexander Payne, and more to talk about their involvement in the festival and what it means to be selected as a member of the prestigious panel. Diane arrived in France ahead of the evening's opening night and big red-carpet premiere of Moonrise Kingdom. Diane has made some memorable fashion choices at Cannes over the years and we can't wait to see what she has planned this time.
