The MET's Costume Institute Gala was held this past monday, and attending were some of the most beautiful outfits, embodied by just as gorgeous models and actors.
Kate Beckinsale (above) embodies a deep midnight blue tulle gown by Marchesa, also what turned out to be my favourite evening gown of the night. Stunning.
Below are two of my favourite exaggerated gowns, so much volume and fantastic detailing. Starting from the left is Elizabeth Hurley wearing a to die for nude, Elie Saab gown that is subtley composed of roses. On the right is model Oluchi Onweagba in none other than Oscar de la Renta. The empire waisted gown's bold black and white pattern and volumunous bell prove the ingredients to perfection.
Model Gisele Bundchen pretty much defines "sexy" in the body hugging, sequined Versace mini. That body, that dress, those legs, those shoes: matches made in heaven. (oh and she also has a perfect accessory, Tom Brady) A+++ for Gisele
Chanel Iman and Sasha Pivavarova, two of my favourite models looked absolutely exquisite (as if I even have to tell you that!) on the red carpet, dressed in two of my absolute favourite designers. Chanel Iman (left) in a leopard print, plunging gown by Zac Posen looked feverishly hot and femine. I love the exaggerated train, that and the pearl accessories make this look irresistably sexy and feminine. Sasha was my favourite model of the evening wearing non other than Giambattista Valli (who stands proud and pearl-ed besides her!). Something about the micro-mini combined with the dramatic peacock feathered floor length shawl. Absolutely stunning. I am loving feathered outfits these days! They're elegant, and give a new feminine touch to outfits (giving lace a break!).
How fabulous does the colour of this mini by Ungaro look against model Alek Wek's radiant skin?
Ah, there are always "those" girls who dare to be different by dressing a la homme in a tuxedo. Here we have Lake Bell in the black tie version, very crisp clean cut suit by Rag & Bone (another fav designer) however this look is one that I would prefer to see on a buff gent. Rihanna worked the bow-tie and 80's inspired puffed sleeves in the Dolce & Gabbanna piece, and although it isn't my favourite piece I give her an A for effort as she always dresses to suit her style. Regardless, in my opinion the only women who can suit up are the classics like Coco Chanel, and Katherine Hepburn.
Want more? I would say http://www.style.com/vogue/bestdressed/050509/ (well, it was hosted by Anna Wintour!) has the best collection! Have a peek!
