Cuckoo for Coco

I love the beyond-adorable Audrey Tautou: I'm charmed by her onscreen charisma and fresh naivetee. But I'm curious; can she really hack playing the part of the notoriously tough, and at times, harsh, Coco Chanel?

Balmain

Balmain presented in Paris yesterday with hyperhigh hemlines. Balmain's designer, Christopher Decarnin, triumphed last year by dressing the demure and adorable, Audrey Tautou, in a swathed, ivory silk muslin gown for the premiere of The DaVinci Code at Cannes in May 2006.
