Paris Fashion Week Spring 2011 – Best And Worst Of The Street And Red Carpet

The above ladies holding court outside of Balenciaga or sashaying on the red carpet at the Roberto Cavalli party in Paris may not all hail from France but they’re all in the spirit of the joie de vivre. Flip through for the best and worst, above.
