I've been poring over the pictures from the Met Gala and it only seemed right to do a post on it as i've always got some kind of opinion on every outfit! As usual there are some gorgeous pieces and some not so gorgeous pieces and below is just my opinion of some of the best and some of the worst, feel free to contact me with your own opinions if you disagree!!
And after that I've taken the stand out trends from the evening and found a few high street options that I hope you like!!
Best Dressed
|
Amber Heard - Zac Posen. Gorgeous colour, slightly ill fitting but overall she looks lovely. |
|
Ashley Greene - Donna Karan. The funny sleeve is unnecessary but love the rest. Feminine and elegant. Needs an up-do and earrings badly though. |
|
Camilla Belle - Ralph Lauren. She looks STUNNING. The dress is perfect on her slight frame, the colour is great against her skin tone, jewellery is just right and I love how shes gone dark with the lips. One of my favourites. |
|
Emily Blunt - Calvin Klein. Gorgeous colour. I like that she has fair skin as this could look tacky with a tan. I also like that she's gone dark with her eye makeup to counter the bright dress. Really sleek and sophisticated. |
|
Emma Roberts - Escada. I can't stop staring at the creases, bit of a shame but it's the nature of the material unfortunately. The dress itself is very pretty and flatters Emma's petite frame without overloading it. The colour is very bold against her skin tone, would have loved to see it in maybe a more lemon yellow but I like the style on her. |
|
January Jones - Versace. Kind of hinting at the sporty trend here! Love the hip detail and style lines to enhance her curves, the shape is so flattering!
|
|
Jessica Alba - Michael Kors. Another of my favourites of the night! She always looks stunning and this is another hit for her. With her olive complexion she can get away with this strong metallic shade and the shape is so flattering, giving her a tiny waist and long legs. LOVE IT!!! |
|
Jessica Biel - Prada. I'm in two minds about this dress, I put it in best dressed as I love the colour and detailing and I love the shape around the bust. But what is with the hem? It looks like it's been taken up at the last min and the length is all wrong. I would love to see this in full length chiffon ideally but just full length would be so much better. |
|
Karolina Kurkova - Rachel Zoe. Minus that headpiece this looks fab on the gorgeous Victorias Secret model. It clings to her curves in all the right places and the back view is really attractive. Lovely colour too. |
|
Kate Bosworth - Prada. Love this flapper girl style!! Petite Kate can really pull off this look and her youthful features lend themselves perfectly to this fun flirty style. The dark tones against her pale complexion work really well as a striking contrast. |
|
Lana Del Rey - Joseph Altuzarra. Take off that cape and this dress is stunning. The simple strapless style is a great choice with such a bold material as it's just the right amount without being too much. Again, loving the dark lips with the metallic. |
|
Lily Collins - Valentino. Perfect choice for Lily's delicate rose features. On anyone else this might not work but the beautifully feminine material and colours looks gorgeous on the beautiful Lily. Her stylist knows exactly what to put her in! |
|
Rihanna - Tom Ford. Great look for Rihanna. Not the biggest fan of the material but it works on her and the style really suits her. |
|
Rooney Mara - Givenchy. I don't usually like this see-thru style but it works on Rooney. I think it's because she's not an overtly sexual character that it doesn't look revealing, more daring. She's got a great face for gothic styles and this really suits her. |
|
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - Burberry. It's Rosie so she always looks stunning! Elegant, sophisticated, she looks lovely. I like that she's gone for an up-do to how of her lovely long neck and the earring are the perfect feature. |
|
Scarlett Johansson - Dolce and Gabbana. Love the top part of this dress, love the sleeves and all the detailing. Unsure about the bottom part. I like it and it's very pretty but the netting is a little stiff? Maybe it would flow better in a chiffon fabric. Alternatively I think it would look lovely in a fitted style in the same material as the top. |
|
Sofia Vergara - Marchesa. The lovely Marchesa ladies know exactly how to make women look beautiful! The fabric and folding is stunning and the way she has her hair and makeup etc fits perfectly with the dress. Beautiful. |
Worst Dressed
|
Alexa Chung - Marc Jacobs. What? I have no words, this is horrendous. Ill fitting, horrible material, horrible shoes and the shirt makes it look like dodgy office wear! I've no idea what was going through the usually fashionable Alexa's head. |
|
Chloe Sevigny - Miu Miu. I may be courting controversy with this statement but I don't rate Chloe Sevigny's style as much as everyone else seems to. This is horrible. Why wear a dress this horrible that then shows unflattering underwear underneath? I do like that she takes challenges but I don't like this. Would like to see her in something more feminine. |
|
Christina Ricci - Thakoon. NO. The dress on its own would be nice. But then she has to go and ruin it with that ridiculous bow!!! She's just trying to be a bit 'quirky' but this is not the way to do it. |
|
Florence Welch - Alexander McQueen. Oh Florence, I love her usually ethereal style but this is just silly. Far too much, awful length, makes her look like she has really short legs. It's horrible. I think Cate Blanchett's stifling giggles behind her back. |
|
Gwyneth Paltrow - Prada. Just, no. This looks like it's still being constructed! Side boob and legs? I don't like this at all, the only saving grace is the lovely colour, besides that, send it back to Prada to finish. |
|
Kristen Stewart - Balenciaga. AAARGHHH THE SHOES!! They upset me. A lot. I'm not a fan of the dress but the shoes just make it so much worse what was she thinking?!? The length of the dress is terrible too, she's got great legs and she's young so they should be chopping off a good 5 inches and showing off those pins! |
|
Leighton Meester - Marchesa. Wheeeeyy tan!! The top of the dress is pretty, the bottom looks like a bit of an explosion. I think it's the tan that's ruining this whole look. On someone with paler skin this would probably be ok. I also think this makes her look much wider than she is. |
|
Leslie Mann - Nina Ricci. Lovely colour, but that's it. Again another case of hideous shoes. But the dress is just silly. The ruffles down the front look out of place, the belt is tacky and the straps look like exposed bra straps rather than part of the dress. |
|
Liv Tyler - Givenchy. I love Liv Tyler but the shape of this dress isn't doing it for me. It looks like shes wearing a black vest top underneath and the top layer sits right on top of the narrowest part of her waist losing her lovely shape! Like the way the dress hangs at the bottom though. |
|
Eva Mendes - Prada. This is not her best look. The colour suits her but the fabric is horrible, it has no shape and looks too stiff. And I don't like the badly placed gems on the top, looks tacky.
