The Spring 2015 Haute Couture shows kicked off on Sunday in Paris, and they got a red hot start thanks to Donatella Versace and her uber-sexy collection for Atelier Versace. Couture is often marked by stately gowns made for royals and highfalutin social types, but for those who are a bit more adventurous, this collection bore the va-va-voom quality that has become synonymous with the house of Versace.

It started off innocuously enough—the opening looks were all-black ensembles that featured shoulder-baring long-sleeved tops paired with matching trousers. As the show progressed, sleeves were slashed, décolletage was on display, and organza gowns were made to look like Matisse cutouts with artfully sliced fabric that exposed the body.

The most impressive of these couture pieces were worn both on and off the runway. Supermodel Eva Herzigova closed the catwalk in a scorcher of a gown that showed off her enviable abs and a fair amount of pelvage. (Did we mention that the Czech stunner is 41?) Meanwhile actress Kate Hudson wore a similarly racy dress—that cut all the way up her left thigh and down to her navel—to assume her perch in the front row. The 35-year-old beauty also wore a daring Versace ensemble earlier this month at the Golden Globes. She attended the designer’s couture show with her mom, Goldie Hawn.
Both Herzigova and Hudson looked red hot, but who wore it better?
