Met Gala 2015

Ah, the Met Gala!  The Oscars way more fun sister where everyone gets super dressed up and dares to be a little rebellious (well, some people do).  I find it to be way more exciting than a traditional award show red carpet and I love when people embrace the theme and just have fun with it.

Below are some of my favorite looks from the evening.  It's difficult to truly pinpoint who was "Best Dressed" but let's take a look at some of my top contenders.

 

Kerry Washington in Prada.  I love that she paired it with green shoes to keep it from being too precious.

Sienna Miller in Thakoon.  Pants on the red carpet are always a welcome change .

Vanessa Hudgens in custom H&M.  I secretly get giddy when I see H&M on the red carpet.

Brie Larson, Courtney Eaton, and Annabelle Wallis all in Dolce & Gabbana.  Please tell me they walked around together all night.

Karen Elson, another amazing standout in Dolce & Gabbana.  More headwear, please.

 

Behati Prinsloo in Tommy Hilfger and Constance Jablonski in Theory.  I love that both models went for a minimalist, 90's look.  Two huge standouts for me for their intended simplicity.

Cara Delevingne in Stella McCartney.  Fashion's wild child did not disappoint.

Diane Kruger in Chanel Couture.

Alexa Chung in Erdem.

 

Zoe Kravitz and Miley Cyrus, both in Alexander Wang.

Mary-Kate Olsen in vintage Dior and Ashley Olsen in John Galliano.  I'm biased but I will simply never not like what they wear.

Jessica Alba in Kenzo.  

And finally...

Rihanna in Guo Pei.  Now this is how you make an entrance.  This is so grandiose and feels like everything the Met Gala should be.  Take notes.

Met Gala 2014: Best Dressed

Last night was the annual Met Gala AKA "Fashion Prom."  While my friend and I were discussing our excitement for it the other day she described it as our own Super Bowl.  I laughed but agreed with her.  Throughout the year we watch playoff games in the form of various red carpets and they all lead up to the ultimate red carpet.

To me this year's dress code wasn't as exciting as last year's "Punk: Chaos to Couture" but luckily fashion is filled with rebels who do their own thing and we have them to thank for these standout red carpet looks. 

 

Nicole Richie in Donna Karan Atelier.  This is the only look that I'm posting from two angles, that's how much I like it.  And that hair, oh, I love that hair.  My vote for best look of the night.

Cara!!  One of a few ladies to rock pants last night and she she did it the best.  She's so cool it hurts.

Like Cara before her, Kate Bosworth also opted for Stella McCartney.  This photo also gets bonus points for capturing the back of Rihanna's white Stella McCartney dress.

Joan Smalls in Vera Wang.  The braid and the purple lipstick really take this to the next level and from being too safe.  It doesn't hurt to be a supermodel, either.

Dree Hemingway in Proenza Schouler.  She looks like a Hitchcock blonde and I've never heard that used as a negative.

I'm biased for the Olsens and probably will find good in every outfit they ever wear but I love that they do their own thing and totally own it.

Honorable mentions go to Emma Stone in pink Thakoon (bonus points for a crop top) and Zoe Kravitz in  vampy Topshop.  Best all white?  It's a tie between Rihanna in Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham in her own design.  And my favorite pretty princess ballgown of the night goes to Giovanna Battaglia in Dolce & Gabbana.
