Met Gala China: Through the Looking Glass


This year the theme was China: Through the Looking Glass in the most important fashion event, that gets together the most important editors, celebrities and models of the fashion industry, celebrating the opening of the new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
There were a lot of looks and styles, some were fabulous, exuberant and creative but others totally missed what this event is all about, like Met Gala is just another red carpet moment. 
The Follow Affair gave especial attention to the looks that respected the dress code, the way they interpreted the theme, even in little details (Selena Gomez dress or SJP headpiece) but there were looks that were just fabulous even though the theme wasn't there (Diane Kruger). Having said that, here is the best looks from the Met Gala.
Let's start with the theme ladies, the looks that respected the dress code. Headpieces were a big thing this year, usually only SJP rocked headpieces, of course she wins anyway, no one can compete with the Queen of the Met Gala.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Custom H&M and Philip Treacy Headpiece
Rihanna in Guo Pei
Gong Li in Roberto Cavalli

Bee Shaffer in Alexander McQueen
Red was a big tendency on the Red Carpet. Symbolizing good fortune and joy in China, a save choice for an event with this theme.
Karolina Kurkova in Tommy Hilfiger; Helen Mirren in Dolce&Gabbana; Sienna Miller in Thakoon

Emily Ratajkowski in Custom Topshop; Georgia May Jagger in Gucci; Irina Shayk in Versace

Diane Agron in Tory Burch; Grace Coddington; Selena Gomez in Vera Wang

Alexa Chung in Erdem; Bella Hadid in Custom Topshop; Ziyi Zhang
Cara Delenvigne style is super creative, using her arms to tattoo blossoms that are seen of traditional chinese dresses.
Cara Delenvigne in Stella McCartney; Jessica Hart in Valentino; Kate Hudson in Michael Kors
Now the most elegant looks without the theme.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Atelier Versace; Kendall Jenner in Calvin Klein Collection; Candice Swanepoel in Michael Kors

Diane Kruger in Chanel Haute Couture; Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture; Emma Roberts in Ralph Lauren
Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé looked beautiful but I don't think the dress was appropriate for the occasion.

What's your favorite look?

xoxo, A

Since I can remember I've always had a negative response to vegetables, I would force myself to eat them because they are good for you. The problem was the taste, or more correctly, no taste at all. The ready to eat products found are not fresh and most of the times what you find is the basic same old salad with a not so healthy sauce. While shopping I came across an amazing brand, Sun&Vegs , and my idea about flavorless vegetables changed completely. Tasty. Delicious. Healthy. That's the correct way to describe Sun&Vegs. Fresh and natural ingredients, making the most unexpected combinations. Presenting different ranges, from salads, to microwave and pre-cooked meals, having each option different tastes and combinations. I have tasted three different meals, and let's say that Sun&Vegs conquered my taste buds (and my heart, of course). Moroccan tabulat was my first go to. I have to admit that I loved the presentation and the colors, the freshness of t

"Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" The dear White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland clearly didn't use Bond Street watches, otherwise he would always be on time. Myself, I'm not a crazy about watches. Back when I was a teenager I had a whole drawer full with watches, as an adult not so much until I met this amazing brand established in Britain. As you can see from the photos the design is elegance beautifully captured in a stainless steel case. AMAZING! But most importantly it's their superior quality that draws me, not to mention they are water resistant. And the best part, when it comes to the price tag, you are going to love it! I'm particularly attracted to a minimalist design, especially when it comes to watches, and their Mayfair Collection is the perfect timepiece for every woman around the globe, and even gentlemen.  Wouldn't this make the perfect Valentine's Day present? We think it would! That's why Bond Street

Today I woke up due to me iPad telling me there are new things on H&M to spend money, and I went crazy for the collection!! As you know, and probably seen on the runways, the use of fruits and plants on dresses and shirts is very fashionable. Ruffles is another must have, I always heard that the less is more, but when it comes to ruffles the more the merrier! ;) (ok, but don't excess, or you'll end up looking like a cake with legs and arms sticking out) Neon is seen in this collection too!! Now, let's see the collection, first take a look at  Conscious Collection (some of the items from this collection are a little bit to much on the price side) and to end look at the Trend Update Let's start working our back muscles to look good in this dress :) Very sexy, let's see some legs This dress is verry Dolce&Gabbana
