Mariacarla Boscono Takes Paris

Though Ali Michael’s on a plane to Texas, plenty of other lean-legged girls have been pounding Paris’s pavement. Aline Weber and Ali Stephens snagged the first and last spots, respectively, at Balenciaga; Coco opened the fur-tastic Gaultier; Look’s favorite face, Siri Tollerød, continues to live up to the buzz and opened Christian Lacroix. And for Alessandra Facchinetti’s debut, the designer selected Vlada Roslyakova to close the Valentino show for the first time ever. However, Italian icon Mariacarla Boscono has practically owned Paris, closing Givenchy and Karl Lagerfeld and opening Costume National. For these crowning achievements, we're giving her the win for now. —Kendall Herbst
