Halle Berry recently wore an Eli Saab gown to the 13th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards and she looked absolutely stunning. See for yourself.

This dress, from the Spring 2011 Couture collection, is so delicate. The gathering at the waist has beautiful depth. The color is incredible. I'm all about color, so this is amazing.
Seeing this work of art made me want to look at the rest of his collection. Just like this dress it was absolutely wonderful. A lot of times when I look at collection, I only like some of the pieces. That is not the case with Elie Saab's designs. They are so feminine and graceful. The gowns are pretty with the perfect splash of sexy. The designs were so varied, but so cohesive. The details are incredibly intricate.
I thought I would share some of my favorite looks with you. The first is the same color of the one on Berry above.

The torso section of the dress is similar to the dress above, but the different fabric helps set it apart. I love the one-shoulder cut on the top. I like that the strap is thick. I'm glad the waist is belted. I think the heaviness of the top without it would make the dress boxy.

This color combined with the floral details makes this gown so romantic. I absolutely love the neckline. It's soft and adds to the romanticism of the dress. The silver, grid-like pattern on the fabric gives it a touch of sparkle.

This is one of the few short dress from the collection. It's flirty and fun. Like all of the others, it reflects the amazing detail of the collection.
Everything in the collection looks timeless. I would probably give a kidney to be able to wear one of these incredible pieces. It's beautiful clothes like this that make me love fashion. It's wearable art.
