Elie Saab's Couture Collection Is Full of Dreamy Dresses and Sparkling Pants — Yes, Pants

Jan 27 2016 - 8:50am

You'd be hard pressed to find an Elie Saab collection that doesn't leave you breathless. Floor-sweeping gown after floor-sweeping gown, all intricately embroidered with glass beads and sequins — it's become a signature aesthetic for the designer, who dresses stars with decidedly feminine style [1] on the red carpet.

But for Elie Saab's Couture Spring '16 collection, we were introduced to something different: billowing pant silhouettes, some featuring draped skirts, others completing chiffon coordinated sets, and one even taking the form of a jumpsuit. Of course, all of these fresh looks weren't without dazzling little details like lace and fringe embellishments, but edgy lace-up boots and metallic belts brought structure to the romantic feel of Edwardian-influenced dresses.

While Elie Saab's entire offering was undeniably whimsical, it was this season's bridal looks that really stuck with us. From a veil that swept across the bodice of an A-line design to the obvious statement — your wedding dress doesn't have to be white [2] but can be a champagne-lavender instead — we're ready to walk down (frankly) any aisle in Elie Saab.
