Understated, somber elegance at Elie Saab. Can't see it from these detail shots, but the simple makeup and hair really let Saab's gowns shine. Expect to see many of them on the red carpet at upcoming events.

I don't love this look - it's almost too somber for couture - but it certainly works for everyday life, and it's a study in how to balance out a smoky eye with a neutral lip. The makeup artists at Valentino should take note.
