Katy Perry and Russell Brand married in  India on Saturday. Although they had joked about making it a nudist ceremony, Perry reportedly wore a dove gray haute couture dress by Elie Saab. [US Weekly]  Reports are that the wedding required two elephants -- for whom a red carpet was rolled out. At pre-wedding festivities on Friday night, Perry reportedly wore a simple red sari.

First nail polish (a few shades for OPI), now fragrance. Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is launching a unisex scent, My World, in partnership with new company Etoile Nation Beauty. The twist? Instead of bottles of perfume, the line will consist of wristbands and dog tags infused with scent. They are slated to go on sale at Wal-Mart the day after Thanksgiving. [WWD]

Pink bridal gowns are making a soft statement this fall. [WWD]

Kiehl's has teamed up with artist Jeff Koons on a limited-edition Holiday Creme de Corps Collection. The bottles feature Tulips, a work by Koons, and 100% of the net profits up to $200,000 will go to benefit the Koons Family Foundation, which is an initiative of the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.

Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Couture Collection

Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Couture Collection Elie Saab gowns are a red carpet staple here inElie Saab Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Couture Collection L.A. Marion Cotillard recently wore a purple and blue mosaic print dress by the designer to the L.A. Film Festival premiere of “Public Enemies,” and Beyoncé and Evan Rachel Wood both wore Elie Saab Couture during the last Oscar ceremony and were two of the best dressed stars at the event.


Saab just showed his Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Couture collection today in Paris and it’s hard to tell whether any of the 46 all-white looks that floated down the runway will translate on to the red carpet.  Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Couture Collection

Every look the designer created was done in an ethereal white, with gathering and appliqués that made models look as if they were floating in a cumulus cloud.  It’s a far cry from the gold bedazzled dress Beyoncé wore or the elegant black column Evan Rachel Wood vamped it up in.  When awards season rolls back around-will Elie’s loyal celebrity fans being seeing all white?
