Giovanna Battaglia dressed as a drum majorette for Halloween this year along with her sister Sara (the designer of the distinctive handbag that Gio carries in a variety of colors). In the photograph above, Giovanna is the one beside Domenico Dolce; the other majorette in red is Giovanna's sister. The costumes are adorable and the jackets are certainly in keeping with the Balmania of the season... But where is Vladimir and what is his costume?

Here is a closeup shot of Giovanna Battaglia and her sister Sara dressed in their drum majorette costumes for Halloween. The way the did their makeup is so beautiful and really adds to the costumes. I admire the creativity.

Giovanna Battaglia looks ferociously good as she sails along en route to the Louis Vuitton show. What a perfect autumnal ensemble. Those leopard shoes are exquisite and look at her leg span! Where I have trouble walking in heels this tall, it looks like Gio is practically sprinting. She is turning heads, too; I hope the man on the scooter doesn't rear end the car in front of him while he checks out Giovanna.

Style.com chose Giovanna Battaglia as one of their Ten Best Dressed of the Week for 10.05.09. Here she is pictured in Louis Vuitton head to toe with Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld though I actually prefer it when she wears something a little less formal, such as the two other looks shown here. I especially love how she can add so much texture and volume to an all black outfit, she has such a knack for fashion. Remember how I just mentioned that Giovanna has been partial to ruffles recently? See below...
How can one look so fluffy and yet so chic at the same time? Even totally casual in jeans and loafers, Giovanna still possesses a certain elegance that transcends denim and flats. If she keeps it up, I may need to change the name of the blog to I Want To Be A Battaglia!

The charming couple Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia were spotted at the Purple Magazine party. Giovanna certainly has a thing for ruffles right now, I can't remember the last time she wore an outfit without them. This time however she looks so refined and elegant, ultraclassic yet supremely modern. Though we can barely see them in this photograph, note the perfect accessory to that dress: the thigh high boots. The navy blue is a beautiful color on her, especially with the black boots. Vladimir is also looking classically modern in the white V neck tshirt and black jacket, very debonair.
