Who wore what to the MET Gala

The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted its annual gala to celebrate the opening of their PUNK: Chaos to Couture exhibit. This annual MET gala is pretty much the Oscar equivalent for the fashion industry and is one of the most important society events of the year. Rumour has it Kim Kardarshian sucked up to Anna Wintour for an invite (I cannot stand Kim and thought she was the worst dressed at the event).  Anyways, my favorite part of this event is to see who is wearing what keeping in mind the theme. And this year’s theme was PUNK!

Some came dressed to the part and some didn't really make that extra effort and then there those who were simply pathetically dressed. Let’s talk about the dresses that caught my eye.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Sienna Miller, Christina Ricci, Jennifer Lopez, Vivienne Westwood

Some of the major head turners included Sarah Jessica Parker in her Giles Deacon gown with tartan boots and her Mohawk esque Philip Treacy hat (LOVE times 3!), Anne Hathaway in Valentino with her super funky hair do and Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs (apparently the spikey hair took nearly five hours to complete).  Socialite Julie Macklowe looked super cool in her Zang Toi gown! I totally loved her fiery pink hair, the studded choker and clutch.

Blake Lively and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked stunning in their Gucci gowns whilst I didn't care much for Jessica Biel’s Giambattista Valli outfit (mind you, I’m a huge Giambattista fan but this one just didn't do it for me). I have mixed opinions about Diane Kruger’s Chanel Haute Couture dress too.

Nicole Richie and Jaime King went high street punk for the event by getting custom made outfits from Topshop. I think Nicole’s silver hair and spikey earrings were a total HIT!  Cara Delevingne and Sienna Miller did justice to the punk hardware in Burberry so did Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney (the deadly belt with spikes was AWSOME). Supermodel Gisele Bundchen looked super chic in her chain linked Anthony Vaccarello mini dress and Constance Jablonski’s Wes Gordon dress with metal tissue and a harness was as punk as it can get!

Although I think Madonna rocked the punk look better than anyone else. Trust the Queen of Pop to show up sans pants in a Givenchy Haute Couture ensemble featuring a studded tartan jacket, a metal choker, fish nets and LOTS of chains paired with hot pink Casadei heels. Christina Ricci also for that matter stayed true to the theme in her tartan Vivenne Westwood gown paired with Casadei heels (okay I need to get a pair of those!). Speaking of Vivienne Westwood, she certainly raised some eyebrows with a badge that had a picture of Bradley Manning and the word Truth written on it.

Okay I know people are going to hate me for saying this, but I’m sorry Beyonce’s head to toe Givenchy Haute Couture ensemble was too much baroque in my face. How is baroque even close to punk? I understand that the whole monochrome look is very “IN” but really, the same fiery or baroque print on the gloves and the boots was a little too much! And putting on a studded belt just seemed so random and haphazard.

While I loved Jennifer Lopez’s hair do, I didn’t think her leopard print Micheal Kors gown was really punk style. I mean yes, it was a gorgeous dress, but a little far away from the theme in my opinion (there were lots more like that). Same goes for Katy Perry in FW 2013/14 Dolce & Gabbana. The duo’s fall collection was based on biblical mosaic so I’m not sure how that falls into the night’s theme (still loved the dress though). Funnily, Anna Wintour’s Chanel Haute Couture dress was also more couture than punk and ditto for Amanda Seyfried in vintage Givenchy couture. Minka Kelly for that matter also didn't meet the punk mark in her FW 13 Carolina Herrera gown and neither did Kate Botsworth in her Balmain. Make no mistake, I love each and every one of the dresses I have just mentioned, but I just felt that they were more Oscars than punk.
