From "Empire" to Couture: Naomi Campbell As Wedding Bouquet

Jean-Paul Gaultier showed his couture collection in Paris on Wednesday morning. His glamorous designs were set to songs like “White Wedding” and “Back to Black,” the first clue that this wasn’t your average couture collection. Traditionally, the last look in a Haute Couture show is reserved for the bride, or, “la marieé.” Gaultier’s show, however, opened with a model emerging from a cloud of smoke in a sexy wedding dress. Having turned tradition on its head, what was going to be the big finale? Why, Naomi Campbell dressed as a wedding bouquet of course. The supermodel, who’s currently starring on Empire, wore a moss green one-piece, wrapped in cellophane, with flowers coming out of the top.

The crowd went wild, throwing additional bouquets on to the runway as Gaultier, the original enfant terrible of fashion, took his bow. We’re only halfway through couture week in Paris, but between Chanel's greenhouse and watering cans, Viktor & Rolf's floral explosions, and Naomi as floral arrangement, it's safe to say that gardening is having a moment.
