Jessica Alba was the le toast of Paris Fashion Week, hitting all the central front rows and insider-y after-parties in a slew of outfits that ranged from sophisticated to edgy. There she was at Kenzo wearing a white dress and black leather bag from the label’s pre-fall ’13 collection. Then again, dancing at the launch of CR Fashion Book Issue 2, rocking a Valentino LBD. And — oh yes — at Chanel in, but of course, Chanel.

This look was the precursor of good things to come. At a Tommy Hilfiger event at the start of Fashion Month, Alba was all smiles in a crisp, white suit and edgy-meets-preppy shoes.
