It's hard not to be enamored with all things French. There's the baguette, a little slice of heaven that make sandwiches seem so elegant. There are the twee, rainbow-colored macarons (which always remind us of the gorgeous excesses of the Original Diva, Marie Antoinette). Even the croissant, which we know is a butter bomb, blows our humble toast out of the water. Don't even get me started on crepes, Champagne, frites and French kissing. What a culture!

The haute couture shows at Paris Fashion Week are no exception. We always love gawking at the A-list front-row celebrities -- Olivia Palermo, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and Kristen Stewart -- but this year, hair and makeup might have trumped fashion in fabulousness. You won't be wearing these looks to the office, but we absolutely picked up on a few bright ideas and trend-setting styles we know you'll be seeing more of.
