Part of the fun of the Spring 2010 shows at Paris Fashion Week has been spotting the front-row celebrity fashions, and the Darth Vader-like number worn by Dita Von Teese at Jean-Paul Gaultier is one of my very favorites. While its aesthetics are clearly avant-garde, Dita Von Teese always selects dresses that stay true to her burlesque career and retro-chic persona.
