We love chocolate. And you know we love fashion. But chocolate and fashion? Ehhhh…not so much. Still, we’ll give the fine folks at Salon du Chocolat points for creativity, as demonstrated by the, um, unusual (cough, fugly) chocolate-embellished outfits seen on the runway at last night’s “Chocolate Trends Fashion Show” in celebration of the international chocolate exhibition’s 15th anniversary. (Side note: Is this why French women don’t get fat? By wearing, not eating, the chocolate? Le screw that!) From a red Spanish flamenco frock boasting chocolate panels to a heart-shaped frock to a bizarre Hiawatha-meets-Hershey’s choc-studded headdress, the designs were as eyebrow-raising as they were edible. Funds from the show benefit children’s charities, according to Salon du Chocolat, which says, “the aim is to amass several tons of chocolate for sick and underprivileged children.” Um…okay. Guess couture gowns studded with vital medicine bottles didn’t have the same glamour quotient. Either way, we don’t think we’ll be wearing these wacky frocks. Eating them, however, is another matter.

Chloe Sevigny in Balenciaga - I want that! We like when Chloe Sevigny brings it down a notch. Her outfit appears simple at first but it's all in the details (see her sandals, choker and bag, all Balenciaga too). The pop of pastel is unexpected, especially for fall but worked nonetheless. We also really loved the closeup shots where you can see her nearly naked skin and spidery, Twiggy-esque lashes.• Balenciaga dress, shoes, gems, Contact House of Balenciaga for details

Chloe Sevigny in Marios Schwab - I Want That! Alright, we admit – Chloe Sevigny's style used to freak us out. She was too risky for our faint heart and sometimes we couldn't tell whether she was the hot one on Big Love or the fugly one. Well, news flash – she is the hot one and lately, her style couldn't be any better! Plus she's got legs and she knows how to use 'em. (PS - ZZ Top rules.) This is absolutely the best little white dress we've seen to date this season. Love the off the shoulder look. Love the slit. Love the bold orange lip. And love the bohemian bag. • Marios Schwab, Priced up request
