The Met Gala was definitely a night of spectacular fashion, spectacular people and spectacular atmosphere. Every one in attendance had clearly made their best effort to look good and in some it really did pay off *cough* Sofia Vergara and Nina Dobrev *cough*, but for some, their looks just weren't working...what ever angle you looked from! So here's a look at my best and worst dressed stars of the night...
Best
Sofia Vergara
Sofia never disappoints me with her choice of dresses. Wearing an ivory embroidered Marchesa gown with exaggerated peplum detail and fitted almost fishtail skirt, this dress is simply beautiful. Paired with the Harry Winston jewels it’s a very understated look, different from her usual bold colour choices. Definitely one of my best dressed of the night.
Nina Dobrev
Nina looked stunning wearing a black and gold silk Donna Karan Atelier gown that had quite an extreme train to it. She went simple with an up-do and H. Stern earrings that just finished off the whole look. This look was not a surprise to me at all, Nina always chooses the perfect dress and for her first ever Met Gala appearance she really did great.
Brooklyn Decker
I adore this dress. Brooklyn went for a periwinkle blue silk Tory Burch gown with embroidered floral print and tulle detailing. She went with a simple up-do and understated earrings that complimented the dress well. I don’t know what it is but her whole look for me is one of the best of the night.
Beyonce Knowles
I can tell Beyoncé’s Givenchy Haute Couture gown is going to be a real love/hate for people. I happen to think this dress is beautiful; the sheer black embroidered body really do compliment the purple feathered train well. Beyoncé went with a simple pulled back up that didn’t add to the already busy dress.
Ashley Greene
Ashley wore a custom Donna Karan gown in a beautiful off-white shade. The dress was jewel-encrusted and heavily embellished around the top which followed into the chiffon skirt nicely. She paired the dress with a simple clutch, drop earrings and natural waved hair. She got it so right with this look!
(Other looks I liked included; Jessica Alba, Camille Belle and Amy Adams)
Worst
Kristen Stewart
Kristen went from being crowned Glamour’s best dress woman to wearing this last night. She chose a Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere dress which looks completely mismatched what with the printed Tetris-like top and the colour-block skirt then paired with the un-matching white heels, what was going through her head when this look was put together? Worst dressed of the night for me.
Mary-Kate Olsen
This one sort of explains itself. What an earth was Mary-Kate thinking with this black, long sleeved cover-up dress by her own label, The Row. It drowns her tiny frame and washes her out completely and then the hair; was she going for a period gothic look?
Leighton Meester
Leighton wore a gold embroidered Marchesa gown with a fully-fledged tulle shirt. Now is it just me or is her skin almost the exact same colour as the dress…and not in a good way! She looks very golden bronzed and that paired with the complete gold dress really is qhite over powering and it completely washes her out. In a different colour this dress could have looked great.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker usually gets it so right but I can’t help but be confused by her choice of dress last night. She chose to cover up in a floral print Valentino gown that boded a full length skirt and sleeves. This dress almost buries her; I wish she’d gone for something shorter or at least more flattering.
Christina Ricci
Christina wore a black and crème strapless Thakoon dress which housed a pretty impressively large bow at the back. She looks like a badly wrapped gift; what with the messy slanted bow and the trail of ribbon behind, it’s just horrible. At least she kept her hair and make-up simple!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth chose to wear a pale blue Prada dress with a halter neck and a drop-hem back. From what I've read, most people seem to love this dress but to me it looks more like something you’d wear to go to bed and not the Met Gala, but I suppose pyjamas are on trend so why not this? I was so looking forward to seeing what Gwyenth would wear after her Oscar’s look. Disappointment!
Undecided
Lana Del Rey
I’m torn with this look. Lana wore a custom silver sequinned Joseph Altuzarra gown with a sheer black cape. I can’t help but think of Gwyneth Paltrow’s caped Tom Ford gown when I see this; Lana opted for a darker, more ‘sinister’ looking version though with the blacks and dark vampire make-up which is swaying me to liking it. I want your opinions on this one…Are you a fan?
Emma Stone
Does pixie spring to anyone else's mind when you look at this? She looks too 'cutesy' and less sophisticated like she normally does. Emma is wearing a red structured, puffed Lanvin dress that is heavily embellished. This plus the messy up do and ballerina pose all make me immediately think of either a pixie or one of those ballerinas that spin round and round in music boxes. However, a part of me does like parts of this look....
So, those are my best and worst dressed of the evening. Who wore your favourite look and who didn't quite tickle your fancy?
