Maybe Hayden Panettiere was on to something with her sequined outfit at Declare Yourself’s ‘Domino Effect’ party in Hollywood, as Balenciaga debuted a dazzling ready-to-wear collection rich with sparkling pieces on the Paris runway. 

Designer Nicolas Ghesquière kept the recent Balenciaga sci-fi and futuristic vibe but ventured into an exploration of “matte and shine, playing with textures to see how they reflect or absorb light. And playing with our house codes.”

What I find rather cool is that the models had their arms and legs covered up with skintight fabric, which added a bit of an awkward reserved sensuality.
