Jennifer Lopez may have graced the occasion – but the highlight of the show for Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2009 Collection is still the clothes.

Nicole Phelps of Style.com describes the collection this way:

Everything was perfectly beautiful, maybe a bit too much so.

Meanwhile, NY Fashion describes the Oscar dela Renta look as luxurious ruffles, embroidery, ostrich-feathered eveningwear, and ornate beading and embellishments like buttons and metallic threads.

Hmmm… maybe one of Hollywood’s fave designer’s did not veer away too much from his signature style. Take a look at the items from Mr. de la Renta’s collection:

The show started off with this color-blocked and belted maillot.


This is a another variation of the color-blocked maillot for the show’s opening salvo – only it has a bright colored accent in the middle.

Even the most high-maintenance diva cannot fault the crispness and chicn-ess of this ensemble. I just love the silhouette of that top and the way that it is belted!

This casual white frock is perfect for a day or night about town.

The way that the skirt of this ensemble is draped is a signature Oscar de la Renta look for this collection – it’s flirty, sassy and chic all at the same time!

This printed dress with black accents is a piece which perfectly defines what high fashion is all about.

Get a load of the delicious color of that crisp, belted top which is perfectly complemented with that swirly, flirty skirt. The accessories and shoes are fab, too!

The gray and navy combination of this Oscar de la Renta creation takes power dressing to new heights.

The rich color and luxurious fabric of the long vest, the high-waist, belted pants and the truly chic white top all makes for an uber-stylish combination.
