"Like a reeeeallly famous one. Like someone who prompts &amp;quot;OMG she brings water to the gym and breathes out of her nose: SHE&amp;#x27;S JUST LIKE US!&amp;quot; headlines in supermarket tabloids. The Fall 2012 collection, designed by Bill Gaytten (who recently had his Dior contract renewed for another six years, amidst Watergate-level rumors of a high-profile new creative director joining the house imminently) was deceptively sweet. While the &amp;#x27;50s skirt shapes--swishy or relaxed pencil--spoke to an easy femininity, the luxe materials and refined pairings made it clear that the ladylike clothes were not for the average 9-to-5 working girl. A-list movie stars on the other hand, could totally pull the pieces off. While watching the runway show, I couldn&amp;#x27;t help but ask myself &amp;quot;Where on earth could you wear this gorgeous, pricey stuff?&amp;quot; and then found myself answering in the form of a little something like this:* If you were a pretty young actress--like, say Mila Kunis, who sat front row at Gaytten&amp;#x27;s show, or her fellow Dior girl and Black Swan counterpart Natalie Portman--who needed to look a bit older and uber-sophisticated in order to land a plum role in Todd Haynes&amp;#x27;s next film, you could start wearing this smart peplum coat while driving your bio-diesel Mercedes around Melrose. Then, when it came time to auditioning for the lead role (a &amp;#x27;50s jet-setting socialite who battles with paranoia and kleptomania, who also collects a string of dapper young paramours), you could wear this dreamy ballerina skirt look to your lunch meeting. You&amp;#x27;d even suggest the Beverly Hills Hotel Polo Lounge for the meeting location and tuck a vintage matchbook in your clutch, to highlight your Method ways. Clearly, you&amp;#x27;d get the part. After you finished filming (Toronto, of course) you could pack this head-turning number in your valise and sport it all around Venice Film Festival while you&amp;#x27;re there to promote your buzzed-about drama. Think of how stunning you would look waving at the crowds from the back of a vintage wooden speedboat in the Grand Canal! The dress alone is reason to take up acting lessons. This fitted day dress with a perfectly scaled leather swath would be what you&amp;#x27;d wear on the when making the morning talk show rounds to promote said film as it debuts nationwide... ...finally this is what you&amp;#x27;d wear to the 2013 Oscars, along with glittering diamonds valued at roughly the same amount as one of the gargantuan Real Housewives homes. In your acceptance speech, you&amp;#x27;d thank your parents, you&amp;#x27;d thank your god and throw in a witty one-liner for good measure, but you&amp;#x27;d save the big reveal on your secret weapon (your Christian Dior wardrobe) for your biography. Or at least your tabloid cover story. Well ladies, what do you think? Don&amp;#x27;t these spiffy numbers make you wish you were a movie star (with a movie star&amp;#x27;s salary)?! Which look do you like best? Oh, and check out the shoes! With straps and a solid heel, they could probably be worn off the red carpet, don&amp;#x27;t you think? *Let&amp;#x27;s blame the whole talking to myself thing on jet lag, shall we?
