Met Gala 2015. China Through the Looking Glass



May 4, 2015

If you are into fashion, the Met Gala is THE event of the season. The one night of the year where celebrities from all arenas team up with the fashion industry’s best for a night of pure red carpet drama. There is couture abound as designers come up with avant-garde creations for this annual themed-event. It’s great to see who executes the theme well and scratch your head at those who miss the mark. This year’s theme is China: Through the Looking Glass – celebrating how the East meets West in the world of fashion.

Sarah Jessica Parker is the queen of the Met Gala. She always shows up giving 100% in the year’s theme. Whether you love or hate her looks, you cannot deny that she is the standard for executing the theme. The Philip Treacy headpiece is definitely a showstopper. I give her props for rocking it, when else would you be able to wear a work of art like that? (Side note: SJP always has the best date. Alexander McQueen, Andy Cohen…enough said.)

Do we know who Allison Williams’ red carpet stylist is? Major props are due for having this ‘Girls’ star in stunning looks every time she steps out. This Haute Couture Giambattista Valli gown is a dream.

H&M collaborated with another star for tonight’s event. The result is a perfectly on trend and on theme fit that stays true to Janelle Monae’s brand as well. A crop top and a cape?! Yes. Plus an updo with a dramatic braid? Yes and yes.

Anne Hathaway. Ralph Lauren.

Anne Hathaway knows how to turn heads on the red carpet. You never quite know the direction she’s going to go but I like this choice tonight. The Ralph Lauren liquid gold column dress with a hood is a bold, yet beautiful choice.

Met Gala 2015. Joan Smalls. Roberto Cavalli.

Joan Smalls is my model muse. She’s wearing purple like no one has ever worn purple (except her…here). This Roberto Cavalli gown is everything and then some. The lace detail perfectly contrasts to the tough belt and the black choker is the best accessory. Joan represents Estee Lauder well tonight as one of the faces of the iconic beauty brand.

 

Bee Shaffer. Alexander McQueen

As Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s daughter, I would imagine that Bee Shaffer has connections to the most beautiful gowns in the world. I really love her choice tonight.  I am partial to anything involving cherry blossoms as they bring back fond memories of my early years spent living in Japan. This gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress with a cherry blossom motif is perfect for the evening’s festivities.

 

Tell me who were some of your favorite Met Gala looks!

Met Gala 2011 — Hits && Misses.



May 3, 2011

Last night was the 63rd annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Also known as the Met Gala for short, this event always boasts exciting themes and feels like the Oscars of the fashion world. The event this year was the kick-off to the new exhibit honoring the late Alexander “Lee” Mcqueen. We’ve been talking about McQueen all weekend since Kate Middleton married Prince William in a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the new creative director for the line. The exhibition celebrates Mcqueen’s work from 1992 at Central Saint Martins to his final runway collection presented after his death last February. Alexander Mcqueen: Savage Beauty will be on display at the Met until July 31st.

There were so many great looks, I wish I could show them all.
Here are my top hits and misses of the night.

Hit. Zoe Saldaña.
[in Calvin Klein]

On a night when most people were going for over-the-top, Zoe went simple and couldn’t be more perfect. Her sorbet dress is refreshing amongst the sea of crazy. (you’ll see below)

Miss. Rihanna.
[in Stella McCartney]

Surprise, surprise…I’m not feeling Rihanna’s look. I like the hair and earrings…just change the dress.

Hit. Diane Kruger.
[in Jason Wu]

When is Diane ever a miss on the red carpet? Never.
That leg she’s giving is so fierce and I love the red lip with the hair swept to the side.

MISS. Andre Leon Talley.
[in a huge purple cape]

I don’t really have any words. I love ALT as much as the next but no….

Hit. Ginnifer Goodwin.
[in Topshop]

Who knew Topshop looked so good?? I love color and silhouette of this dress.
Ginnifer is working it though with her hair, accessories, and makeup.
I love the shoes.!

Miss. Fergie.
[in Marchesa]
Not sure what look Fergie is going for here…but it’s not working.
The color and the fit are really killing this look.

Hit. Ashley Olsen.
[in vintage Christian Dior Haute Couture]

Didn’t see Ashley’s arrival picture until today and it couldn’t be better.
This vintage Dior is so stunning on her.

Miss. Chrissy Teigen.
[in Chris March from Project Runway]

Not sure why John Legend would let his girlfriend go out in this…I think this is a fail on so many levels.
