Punk: Chaos to Couture Part III

Image
Models, Models Everywhere. There wouldn't be a Met Gala without the models putting fashion on another level, with the gods. Doutzen Kroes has sexy written all over her. In  Theyskens’ Theory, punk went sexy all the way. Joan Smalls wears sheer lace dress and is accompanied by Tom Ford.

Punk: Chaos to Couture Part II

Here comes the worst of the night. Ginnifer Goodwin, this girl always surprises you on the red carpet and really likes to take fashion to another level that only she can pull it on the red carpet, but this look is just wrong. Raccoon  alert. I get that the theme is Punk and if you take it to literally you end up looking everything except fashionable. Wearing Tory Burch with a black tulle hem, the dress looked really good on her but then you stare at her from head to toe and the eyes make it all look really bad. Madonna what the were you thinking?! Don't you have mirrors in you house, so you can see what you look like when you leave the house?! I have to admit, it take courage to leave the house looking like a grandmother using a really bad wig and some clothes from the time she was a size 2. It's just sad when people can't admit the age they have and making it look glamourous. She was wearing Givenchy.

This days all eyes were looking at the celebrities walking the Red Carpet in Met Gala this year. First of all, I think it's important to know what the Met Ball really means, cause this event is not just celebrities in couture. The Costume Institute Gala is a ball that celebrates the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. Since 1948 the event has been an annual affair at the Met. Hosted by Vogue, this event is considered by fashion experts the best red carpet event in the fashion world. Now that we ALL know what the Met Gala means, let me show you some of my favourite looks of the night and of course we cannot forget the worst dresses. Oh, and the theme of the party was PUNK One of my favourite look was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Gucci, I have a girl crush on her, a really big one. From the makeup to the accessories, Rosie looked flawless.

Bee's Knees

Let the jazz in, the Roaring Twenties are here to stay! And all thanks to the MAJOR Vogue cover with the beautiful Carey Mulligan! By now you all know Mulligan is playing Daisy in the new version of The Great Gatsby, where she makes a disappointing character (you know what I mean if you read the book) looking quite interesting just by adding gorgeous clothes and accessories to the mix. Mulligan and Prada dresses look so good together it hurts my eyes! Dressing her in Prada completes the character, showing us that Daisy Buchanan is in fact a selfish, shallow woman although Fitzgerald associates her with innocence. Completed by Tiffany's & Co. jewels is impossible for you not to fall in love with her. Now enjoy the show and tell us what you think. This headpiece is the same one you can see in the poster! xoxo, A
