Met Gala 2013: Best Dressed

The 2013 Met Gala Red Carpet Arrivals

The theme for this years Met Gala was Punk: Chaos to Couture. While some celebs missed the memo big time, there were others who chose to show off their best interpretation of the theme with daring red carpet looks. Here are my picks for best dressed from the red carpet. 

 

BEST THEME INTERPRETATION

 Madonna

Givenchy Haute Couture

 BEST DRESSED NOMINEE

Anne Hathaway

Valentino

Anne looks amazing and this gown fits her to perfection. A vision in Valentino and the hair adds a wonderful dimension to the overall look.

 Beyonce' 

Custom Givenchy

This train is everything to me! I love how dramatic it is paired with the thigh high split. I think Mrs. Knowles-Carter looks amazing although an edgier hairstyle and loosing the gloves would have made this look that much more perfect.

 

Christina Ricci

Vivienne Westwood

I love this look! I think it is fitting for the punk rock them. The only thing I would change is her hairstyle. 

Solange Knowles

Kenzo

She serves as usual!

 Jennifer Lopez

Michael Kors

 Kate Bosworth

Balmain

BEST DRESSED NOMINEE

Naomie Harris

Donna Karen Atelier

Although I find this look gorgeous it reminds me a lot of the gown that Beyonce' wore to the met gala last year, especially the train.

 

Taylor Swift

J. Mendel

 

Nicole Richie

Topshop

Nicole owned this look from head to toe and I think that the addition of the hair really made it pop!

BEST DRESSED NOMINEE

 Sarah Jessica Parker

Phillip Treacy, Giles Deacon and Christian Louboutin

SJP rarely disappoints when it comes to a red carpet moment and this was no exception! She owned the carpet and really showed up to be noticed. I love it!

Pharrell

Lanvin 

Love this dapper look! Can you believe this man is 40!???

Victor Cruz and Elaina Watley

Lanvin and Naaem Khan

Mr. Cruz's tux is tailored to perfection and I love the pop of color. Although I am not feeling his leading lady's hair, I love her ensemble especially the unexpected pants paired with the long train!

 Joan Smalls and Tom Ford

Tom Ford

Tom Ford is my absolute favorite! In my opinion he makes a men's suit like no other and he is his own best model! The man is the definition of dapper! Joan Smalls is gorgeous as usual and I love the intricate details of her gown.

 Ricardo Tisci and Rooney Mara

Givenchy

I am in love with Rooney's dark vampy limp in juxtapose to her gorgeous white gown. Flawless!

The Horror: Met Gala Red Carpet Edition

I have been hoping and praying and hoping again that Kim Kardashian's fashion choices would get better as her pregnancy progressed and with every turn she disappoints me more and more. With access to the best designers, tailors and stylists that money can buy you would think that she would look like perfection every time she steps out in public but that is just not the case. There have been and currently are many chic pregnant celebrities so there is no excuse for her to walk around in ill fitting and unattractive garments. NONE! She claims that it is not Kanye dressing her and always praises his excellent taste and his skills as a designer, and she shops relentlessly, so why then does she look the way she does? For someone who gets it "custom" she rarely gets it right. The met gala was no exception. I mean why on earth would anyone with sight walk out of the house looking the way she did for a red carpet event and why would Mr. Fashion himself not try to help her get it right? I just can't understand. The look was horrid from neck to toe (The only think I did like was her sleek ponytail and her makeup). Please Kim, I beg you, stop trying to be daring, different, edgy and fashion forward. It just does not work for you. Go wit silhouettes that flatter your figure and work for your body type. Please stop squeezing into ill fitting, visibly uncomfortable garments. It is really not becoming. This floral frenzy complete with turtleneck, long sleeves, matching gloves and shoes is horrific! I don't care who designed it, it never should have seen the light of day! For her first met gala red carpet this is an epic fail!

Oscar Style Phile

Oscar's Red Carpet

Last night the 85th annual Oscar awards took place in Hollywood. Although I am not big on awards shows, I of course tuned in for the live red carpet on E! because we all know that those beautiful gowns and gorgeous baubles are the real show! Here are my picks for the best dressed ladies at last night's show beginning with my pick for best dressed. Enjoy!

Best Dressed hands down! Charlize Theron is a vision in Christian Dior Couture! Everything about this look is perfection including her gorgeous pixy haircut! She owned the red carpet in this look and I absolutely love it!

Kelly Rowland in Donna Karan Atelier

Although I am not feeling the hair, Kelly looks absolutely stunning in the gorgeous black and white gown and the high slit adds just the right amount of ump without being over the top.

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Couture looks like the bell of the ball. This dress is not only beautiful but I love that she had just the right amount of accessories and the way she pair her necklace that draped down the back.

Some of my favorites trends from last nights red carpet. These ladies looked gorgeous and carried off their respective looks well.

 Metallics

Halle Berry in Custom Versace, Naomi Watts in Armani Prive, Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan, Sandra Bullock in Ellie Saab

 Copper, Silver and Gold with Embellishments

Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive, Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen, Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zuhair Murad

Cool Blue Jewel Tones

Jennifer Hudson in Roberto Cavalli Couture, Robin Roberts in Marc Bouwer
