Yesterday in Hong Kong, Valentino presented their Fall 2011 collection at The Landmark, Central.

Creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli made their debut appearance in Hong Kong at this much-anticipated fashion event which was attended by our favourite Asian stars.

Fan Bing Bing was of course at the show looking gorgeous – as always – wearing a Valentino Spring 2011 gown.

Her nude gown with a black sheer overlay is accented with black and white floral appliqués and polka dots.

The actress accessorized with a nude thin belt and a Valentino floral appliqué satin clutch.

I love her long wavy hair swept to one side and her red pout.

This will be the second time Fan Bing Bing has seen this Valentino Fall 2011 show, because she also saw it the first time around in Paris.

Carina Lau was also at the show.

She opted for a red Valentino ruffle gown which was also from the Spring 2011 collection.

This striking red ruffled gown has layers of silk-chiffon and satin. It perfectly encapsulates the label’s romantic aesthetic and was the stand-out look from the Spring 2011 collection.

Alexa Chung wore this same gown when she was presenting live at the Golden Globe Awards.

Valentino’s Fall 2011 presentation showcased a divinely charming romantic collection.

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli gave us ultra feminine pieces with ruffles, tiers, embellishments and lace which glided down the runway so beautifully.

We saw halter dresses with a lace bodice and pleated skirt, leather coats, wool coats, sheer blouses, tapered pants, cashmere cardigans embellished with studs and day dresses on a colour palette of nude, burgundy, navy, green, baby blue and saffron.

Luxe knits and fox furs will ensure we are kept warm this coming Fall.

We saw lots of floral prints and floral appliqués which accented many looks. I also loved feather accents and the tromp-l’oeil feathers on chiffon dresses.

If you’re looking for romantic grown-up elegance this is definitely the collection for you.

Key accessories included python print boots, black headbands, clutches, totes and ankle strap pumps.
