Variety
Eye-catching and fitfully amusing, net effect proves frivolous and ephemeral, closer to the director's "Health" and "A Wedding" than to "Nashville" or "Short Cuts."

Robert Altman's ensemble extravaganza, with all the style, glitz and head-turning star power of an A-list party. The all-star cast includes Sophia Loren, Kim Basinger, Rupert Everett, Tim Robbins, Julia Roberts and Forest Whitaker, Richard E. Grant.
The film follows the interconnected stories of a group of designers, reporters, models, magazine editors, photographers and all their hangers on at a fashion show in Paris.

There is also an undeniable pleasure simply in people-watching.
In "Ready to Wear," you will see Lauren Bacall, Harry Belafonte, Teri Garr, Forest Whitaker, Naomi Campbell, Lyle Lovett, Christy Turlington, Cher and countless others, sometimes shot in scenes that feel improvised in the midst of real events. The result is a little like a comedy crossed with a home movie.
