[quote user="le maitre couturier"]Maria's a typical Russian beauty & this involves a determinate way of dressing (and it seems she has understood this very well). The secret of wearin' an evening dress in order to create 'une allure parfait' resides in the ability of diffuse the light homogeneus on the whole shape. The main key of that is to combine the colours of the cloth with the skin & the hair so that the lightness of the dress & the lightness of the shape don't be in contrast. This is because Maria looks more beuatiful when wears clothes dyed with shining colours such as white, green & their softenings & her hair are loose. Look some photos to believe ... Agree?[/quote]

Monsieur le maitre couturier, vous employez beaucoup trop de termes français dans votre anglais. Pour décrire Sharapova, une belle photo remplacerait mille mots. Alors présentez nous plutôt une photo au lieu d’utilisez mille termes techniques de haute couture.

Que pensez-vous par exemple de Sharapova en tenue noire ? Le noir et ses cheuveux blonds vont-ils ensemble?

Il parait que Maria et Madonna préfèrent les hommes habillés en noir. Que pensez vous de leurs choix?

Bonjour Monsieur, finallement quelqu'un répond à mon forum.

I know that a photo in this case 'tell' more than a thousand words: I would have put some photos to explain my ideas but, unfortunatly I haven't understand how should I do to put them in yet.

However, it's quiet difficult to say if Maria looks better with black clothes, because there are many differences between a day-cloth (for exemple a Tailleur) and an evening-dress. I'm a lover of the Allure Chanel and so you can understand that white&black are my favourite colors if we speak about clothes. I think black it's not the best choice for Maria if she wants to wear an evening dress (she looks better with shades such as a light grey) because a long-black dress hasn't the perfect gleam (because black, if we speak about style, is very shining) for Maria's skin. On the other hand, a black day-cloth may be a right choice (for example she's beautiful in the photo you put) 'cause there are less parts of the body uncovered, so the contrast between the skin's shades & the black cloth isn't perceptible.

However, Maria is so beautiful that she may dress every color without to clash: she could not be perfect but she looks always well (on condition that she has loose hair). She has a great taste.

Спасибо, your words are so conforting for me; you make me happy. Finallement, ther's someone else who appreciates my talent in fashion&style. I love Russian Culture & it has ever been a source of ispiration for my fashion sketch. I'd like to work in Санкт-Петербург a day in the future ... perhaps, now I have to finish my studies. However, trés, trés, trés merci !!! [:D]

& thank you also for your advise about putting photos: I didn't believe it was so easy !!! [:D]

About loose hair I'll show you here two of Maria's photos: look the different effects !!!

Only a picture of sharapova can explain your sentence.

Good example,she is gorgeous in this dress!!! Charming!!! Просто прелесть!!!

 I think black it's not the best choice for Maria if she wants to wear an evening dress  because a long-black dress hasn't the perfect gleam (because black, if we speak about style, is very shining) for Maria's skin.

So what mark could you give to this black dress of Sharapova? And what mark could you give to her hair cut?

5 (excellent), 4 (good), 3 ( fair ) or 2 (bad)

As you can see I love black color & I think Chanel's little black dress (here a photo by Man Ray of the French stylist wearin' an example of it in 1936) is absolutely the best cloth ever made. Surely, it's the one which changed forever the conception of style&elegance, showing the way to the all the future fashion designers, & someone of them has created wonderful masterpieces of style art, such the female smoking designed in the 1960s by the frenchman Yves Saint-Laurent (here an example of 1975).

Nevertheless, I still think that black is not Maria's color. About the photo you put about (I don't like doing judgements), I don't want to say she looks bad (it would be a silliness), but the genereal effect it's not the same as in the previous photo you had put (the one with the milk-white dress) because in this one (the black dress) the light of the cloth & Maria's light enhance each other but they aren't the same kind of gleam, while in the second photo (the milk-white dress) the two light are always enhanced but they're also mixed in the whole shape's gleam, they're similar not opposite. However, as I've said before, Maria looks good with everything she wear.    

Je suis trés désolé, bu I've never celebrated Halloween in all my life & so I'm not so familiar with the clothes required. To make you happy I think black may be a good way [:D] & perhaps purple ( I hate purple [+o(]) which are the main colors of the witches' night (I suppose). On an other hand, if the main purpose is to scare ... I don't think that it could exist a cloth which can make Maria so ugly to be frightening: she's too beautiful !!! However, if you have some ideas you can show them.

Do you remember that I said I hate purple ? Well, of course, with the right softening, Maria looks always wonderful, as in this photo.

Three creations of Madaleine Vionnet, with the right shades Maria would look good with this style

Oui, orange could be a right idea for Halloween.

She's wonderful in the last photo you have sent, I don't know why I can't find photos as beautiful as yours.

However, what do you think about this one? Her look here recalls Cinderella with an atmospher of "The thousand and one night".She's so shining.

 I agree with you about the orange color for Sharapova. It is a very beautifull color for her. But I would like to see her in a long orange dress for a ball.
