Wow, the Americans really pulled out their interpretation of avant-garde for Pppffwwwwew - uh haw hee haw (aka Paris Fashion Week).

We've all seen Katy Perry's blue halo bun (I suspect she'll be returning to a more subtle brunette hue imminently… although Lagerfeld seems to appreciate the sumsink bluuh), but here's Rosario Dawson being European, by way of the Swiss Alps.

Alicia Keys came possessed by the Egyptian Goddess of Stump; Nicky Hilton tried her hand at Bondage Irish Dancing; while Kim Kardashian sported hearth rug while neglecting to cover her toes. They're not legwarmers by the way, they're some sort of weaved hemp sandal jobbie.

Lastly; P Diddy in spatz. And that's the least of his worries.

Those who stuck to understated sophistication included PFW veterans Salma Hayek, Leigh Lezark, Caroline Sieber, Zhou Xun, Poppy Delevigne, Catherine Deneuve, this stunning creature, Natalia Vodianova and – by a hair's breadth - Hofit Golan.

One could argue that Anna Wintour's coat went slightly over the top, but she's obviously entitled.
