SOUNDBITE (English) Kate Hudson, Actress: \" I am wearing all Dior, even under this, but if I took it off I would freeze to death.

SOUNDBITE (English) Roman Polanski, Film Director: \"I like what he does, it is always a surprise. Well what is going on in fashion in general is important for all of us but yes I am quite interested.\" 8. Various catwalk 9. Finale 10. Designer John Galliano takes applause STAR STUDDED FRONT ROW FOR DIOR\'S \'GOTHIC CHIC\' Among the front-row guests at Dior\'s autumn-winter ready-to-wear show in Paris on Tuesday (28FEB06) were two of Hollywood\'s hottest stars, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba and Oscar winning director Roman Polanski. Dior spends up to euro1 million ($1.2 million) on its catwalk extravaganzas, and knows the value of a celebrity endorsement. Front row guest Kate Hudson confided \"I\'m wearing all Dior,\" as she faced photographers, dressed in a cream coat and white satin high heels. It is safe to assume the outfit was a gift, though Dior refuses to comment on its relationships with celebrity guests. In fact, most labels will flatly deny they compensate stars for attending their shows, though it is widely known that the practice exists. As rock anthems blasted from the loudspeakers, models stepped out in ultra-skinny biker pants and cinched leather jackets with goat fur trim. Their straight black wigs tied back with scarves were pure Ozzy Osbourne. Pencil skirts featured seams turned inside out to decorative effect, while a chocolate wool coat disintegrated at the edges into a fine layer of embroidered chiffon. There were plenty of new variations on the Gaucho bag, which is shaping up as the must-have accessory for spring. Other new Dior extras likely sell well include diamonte studded shades and outsized crucifixes. Though British designer John Galliano focused on daywear in what he has called his \"Gothic Chic\" collection, his swinging gypsy dress was a red carpet shoo-in. Ahead of the show, Jessica Alba told AP Entertainment she was looking forward too seeing the collection. \"I think Galliano is really imaginative and has such a great spirit, and I love what he has done at Dior. \" Roman Polanski agrees. \"I like what he does, it is always a surprise. Well what is going on in fashion in general is important for all of us but yes I am quite interested.\" Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_Archive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/ You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/b812557eb9b291479be7a459d53af0f4'
