Considering that the MET gala is one of the most important and stylish events of the year you would think celebs would put their best foot forward. Alas this year with the theme, Punk: Chaos to Couture, there were more fashion missteps than stylish struts!
Understandably with a theme that beckons for something loud, brash and in-your-face one would expect more Halloween costume than Hollywood glam but surely some of these celebs could have done better?
First point in case, Nicole Ritchie! Always known to get it right thanks to superstar stylist Rachel Zoe, Nicole channeld her inner “Golden Girl’ donning silver hair with a drab gown. There’s nothing more to say here other than - if she was looking for a statement look she got it and that statement read, BORING!
From flower power to flower sour, Kim Kardashian really disappointed on the red carpet with her Riccardo Tisci dress. Busy, clingy and loud, the dress was just a no-no for this star who usually nails her red carpet looks. I also expected more from Kanye who is usually a risk -taker but he looked rather bland on the carpet.
There’s something to be said for people who translate a theme quite literally. That would be SILLY! Yes, we know Miley along with most post-Disney stars try to go for that shock factor but this look was shock, horror and scary all at once. Crazy platinum blonde hair – check! Goth meets punk trashy dress - check. I don't care attitude - nailed it! Impressive? Not in the least bit.
On the flip side someone who did manage to rock the short blonde hair and edgy black dress with class was Anne Hathaway in Vintage Valentino!
I love it when stars bring that certain edge to the red carpet in a good way!. Mad men actress, Jessica Paré dazzled in a unique Jason Wu creation. From the striking cobalt blue chiffon dress to the edgy black leggings, Jessica radiated star power.
From her hair and jacket to dress and clutch, Sienna Miller was a breathe of fresh air on the night. Scoring points in Burberry, Sienna definitely represented the theme on point with her punk rock meets old Hollywood glamour look.
There was a time when I thought that the only couples who got it right on the red carpet were Brangelina and Posh and Becks, but that’s about to change!
Hello Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen! Only Gisele could rock a mini dress like THAT and still look regal! Add to that look, hot arm candy such as Tom Brady and you OWN the red carpet. These two definitely rank as one of my best dressed on the night.
The thing with events such as the MET is that there is SO much star power on the red carpet that you can easily get lost. Regular fashion hit-makers such as Beyonce, Gwyneth and even Emily Blunt really didn’t blow me away.
After all is said and done another year of MET fashion hits and hideousness has wrapped up. Locally, with the SAMA’s just days away let’s see what our local stars have to offer with their unique creations!
