Florence Welch joined her BFF Blake Lively in Paris this weekend to celebrate her becoming the face to the Chanel ‘Mademoiselle’ bag.

The British singer opted for a black sheer Chanel Spring 2011 coat dress.

She’s not wearing Couture, but her look is more chic and way more sophisticated then her friends look.

What is particularly refreshing about this look is that it’s black (bet you never thought you’d hear me say that).

Florence has worn so many nude and neutral colours lately that it’s nice to see her in something different yet in keeping with unique style.

A Chanel ombre necklace completed her look.

Dear Blake,

My obsession with you has made many readers question my integrity. They have accused me of being biased because I love everything that you wear.

For a while that was true because you lived by the moto ‘if you’ve got it flaunt,’ which my mother drummed into me from a very early age.

But lately something has been off.

Whilst I’ve liked your looks, I haven’t been blown away.

Case in point.

Here you are at looking beautiful at the 2nd dinner party Chanel has hosted for you…this time in Paris.

Whilst this Chanel Spring 2008 Couture silver dress with a tiered skirt is beautiful, you couldn’t have picked a worst pair of shoes if you’d borrowed them from Paris Hilton.

These Christian Louboutin Salsbourg metallic strappy sandals are not working.

If you had a stylist he/she would’ve – I hope – advised against you wearing these heels.

I don’t know what possessed you.

Surely the guys at Chanel could’ve given you some heels which were more befitting of your Chanel Couture dress.

But considering they gave you a black Chanel ‘Mademoiselle’ bag to go with your silver and white Couture dress against a black background, I guess the answer was clearly no.

Let’s bring back the Versace-eqse sexiness.

Whilst it may have been really obvious, it worked for you.

Faithfully,
