At Paris Fashion Week this season we have had serious elegance envy, as the FROWing style mavens dressed to impressed in their most ladylike looks. Jessica Alba seriously impressed us with her one-shouldered ruffle dress, Nicole Richie's evening coat looked stellar over a red dress and pointed courts, while Emmy Rossum elegantly covered up in her floral tea-dress.
So what are the rules for dressing like a lady? Flesh-flashing needs to be kept to a minimum, natch, platform heels are out too - stick with pointed courts or simple sandals. For outerwear its all about the statement coat - just steer clear of casual parkas and bomber jackets for this look (normally, we're mega fans).
