Please note: I published this knowing the slideshow wouldn’t appear above, so that Tiffany can see what it’s doing. The photos are still there; just click “Start Slideshow” or go here. We’re working on our gaggle of tech issues. The problem has been that it’s a bit like a game of Jenga. Pulling one thread dislodges something else. Thanks for your patience! (If it STILL doesn’t work, I think that’s because it’s been fiddled with — please stand by. And thank you, all of you, for being so nice as we work all this out.)

Paris Fashion Week hasn’t been as starry as I expected, and maybe Givenchy agreed, because it attempted to outdo them all — even luring Cate Blanchett out:

It will not surprise you that Cate, in her lip-print blazer, fared better than most. Although Givenchy is leaning into peep-toe booties in a way that I cannot support. Not even on The Great.
