If anyone thinks not wearing color is boring, they haven’t seen the striped styles this season. McQueen, Christian Lacroix, Elie Saab, and Herve Leger all know it—black and white stripes and animal prints are a strong look this season. Paula rocked a shorter than short Balmain zebra print mini in Seattle and follows the current trend on the catwalks for long straight tresses which are making a huge comeback!
