If you are a fashion lover, you probably know that the annual Costume Institute Gala, also known as the Met Ball, is where high fashion comes to play! All the celebrities come out to don their finest gowns to show off on the red carpet. This is the height of glam, no cocktail dresses or casual gowns here!
It’s all about the glamour and the drama. This year especially, since the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition is ‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture’! So drama with a punk rock flair was a consistent theme. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work for some…don’t even get me started on Miley Cyrus and Nicole Richie’s looks for the evenings, eeek! (Google it, if you must.) Otherwise, I found myself gravitating to what I always tend to gravitate towards…black, lace, and sparkle. Are you surprised?
So, my top 3 favorite Met Gala looks are…
Jennifer Morrison in her black lace gown with gorgeous draping and let’s not forget that slit! Ginnifer Goodwin in Tory Burch gold sparkle from head to toe, fading out near the bottom of her gown. Love it so! (I could do without the crazy eyeliner, but otherwise flawless!) And, finally, Jessica Alba in a leather embellished Tory Burch gown with the absolute perfect cut outs! So amazing!
Honorable Mentions: Carey Mulligan, Nina Dobrev, Claire Danes
