2012 Paris Fashion Week: Dior Fashion Show

After hitting up the Versace Runway show earlier today, Cameron Diaz changed up her hair and outfit and did a fashion double duty, checking out the Dior Haute Couture fashion presentation later that day.

Diaz was joined by Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex-girlfriend Bar Refaeli as they sat front row together.

Bar tweeted after the show, “amazing show for @Dior today! BRAVO as u say around here. @patmcgrathreal, amazing work on the girls!”

The Dior collection was designed by Bill Gaytten, whose sophomore collection for Dior is still being considered a “fill in” while Dior searches for a replacement for John Galliano.

The show consisted of 40 dresses that were all very dainty and vintage inspired. Fashion bloggers are calling it “safe” but if Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, and Olivia Wilde wore it on the red carpet, it would be “stunning.”

Some pieces include a sheer plum gown with a drop waist skirt that swirls and twirls and would look great on Florence of Florence + The Machine.

The collection is an update on signature pieces from Dior’s 1950’s heyday.

The finale piece was a floor-length ballgown with a full black and white tulle skirt that brushed the floor as it swept it’s way down the runway.

Other celebs at the event include NY socialite and “The City” alum, Olivia Palermo who said, “Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics.”

Others echoed the retro appeal of the show, British fashion writer Colin McDowell said, “I could show you a picture of every single one of those dresses from the 1950’s. They were all copied. But it worked, it really did.”
