OK, so fashion week has been over for a while, but PetiteBrigitte is still running through the photos and had to stop for a moment of reflection. Aside from the fact that the amount of artifice in these two divas is enough to shatter a lens, could they look any more opposite when standing side by side?
Dita, who has dyed her naturally blonde hair to raven black for over 16 years, paints a pale 1940′s bombshell silhouette with a custom black ensemble and red nails. Victoria, newly Californicated with a heavy dose of spray-on tan to contrast the plantinum locks, looks like a futuristic 1950′s barbie doll in her vintage dress from the same decade.
One thing is for sure: these two are a rare breed of woman. Though with so much artifice going on here, they could quite possibly be men.
Speaking of men, do they find these looks sexy? Honestly, much hotter women could be found walking the Tuileries last week, and the Sartorialist had his eye out for them….
I agree — these women look like they’re made out of wax. They belong in Madame Tussaud’s museum, not walking and breathing among the normal, beautiful, natural people of the world!
Agreed, as soon as people stop photographing them they will go away. Paris is filled with beautiful women- no need to settle for these two.
I have not used spray tan since the late 70′s and it was a cream that went everywhere so maybe I am wrong in saying this but – I can only imagine Victoria’s sheets with all the tan wearing off (like mine used to! ) and the sheets with terrible orangey marks all over them! Mind you, she does not have to wash them , some poor old maid would. Does the stuff still wear off on your cloths and sheets these days? God, I am showing my age! LOL
Dita looks classy – the other one looks like a typical plasticized Californian. Sure there are more naturally beautiful women – but they’re not in the lime light.
The much more natural looking woman photographed by the Sartorialist happens to be the actress Clemence Poesey (sp?).
Chanel has always been one of the top designers around since I was a kid. I love their new stuff, as well as the old. I would love to get my hands on a vintage chanel purse!
With the 70s and 80s back in style, I just loving vintage clothing from the thrift shops. You can find designers like Chanel and Armani for cheap there. Ebay is great too!
