The MET Gala: Sight to Behold

Fashions best and worst dressed celebrities came, saw and conquered the MET Gala. On the red carpet, we saw an assortment of very creative, striking looks. Among the great ensembles were many wardrobe mishaps. Here is my top look, my bottom look and my honorable mentions.

The Top Look

Christina Ricci w/ Zac Posen

I am in deep unadulterated love with Ricci's Zac Posen gown. I am particularly fond of this outfit because of the construction of the dress. It calls to me and says "you will love me, if you don't come willingly you will be stuck in my beautiful alluring webs". Not to mention, Cristina's body does this dress so much justice. Her up-do, choice of ruby earrings and handbag do not take away from the powerful aesthetics of this gown. When i think of the MET Gala 2011, I think of Cristina Ricci, Zac Posen and this dress.

The Honorable Mentions

Beyonce

Standing still, Beyonce Knowles rocked this Emilio Pucci dress. It was a spectacle watching her need help from three people just to get up those daunting red stairs. Over all she looked beautiful, as she always does. I just wish she chose a gown that was more practical.

Andre Leon Talley

I always make a note of what Andre Leon Talley is wearing. He is fashion. I love that his regal robe has a train. I can say this is the 1st man-meant robe I have seen with a train. Talley gets kudos, for innovation!

Kate Hudson

Kate has stunning glow in this Stella McCartney piece. This dress is great for her figure and accomplishes so much for her skin tone. She looks like a seraph.

Zoe Saldana

Zoe Saldana looks fresh and clean cut in this bright yellow dress by Calvin Klein. Her look is so finished, it is one of my favorites.

Michelle Monaghan

Another clean and  bright ensemble I like is this pink Derek Lam gown worn by Michelle Monoghan. I like how her choice of hair color, nail color and jewelry give this look an edge. This outfit is more than cotton candy, bubble gum and angel farts. I love it.

Blake Lively

Blake Lively embodies her last name in this Chanel Haute Couture gown. Nude illusion is in vogue right now. Just as I saw Rihannas 3rd or 4th attempt at as nude illusion dress, and declared that I was fed up with the trend; Blake comes down the red carpet in THIS. Her sun-kissed skin tone, strawberry blonde hair and facial expression of breathe beckons the viewer. Then you look down, and see this gorgeous embellished Grecian draped creation and simple sandals. This look is rooted in myth and nature. You cannot look at this dress and not wonder what the Chanel Haus was thinking!

Gisele Bundchen

The football star and the Victoria Secret model. They are the modern say, jock and cheerleader. Gisele looked ravenous, wearing a strapless Alexander McQueen gown. She fits this dress perfectly.

Madonna

Madonna is classic elegance in this silk Stella McCartney gown. I adore the color and the playful silver stars running up the dress.

Miranda Kerr

Mirande Kerr looks cute in this short Marchesa dress. It looks very teenage wedding, for me. She looks great.

Eva Mendes

I love Eva Mendes in this wonderfully pleated royal blue Stella McCartney gown. All I can think of is the skill put into those pleats. I digg the silhouette of the top section. It fits eva perfectly. The gold belt and accessories are added class to this classic look.

The Bottom Look

Serena Williams

I am 100% done with these fluffy, plushy dresses. No one wants to be around such a fuzzy, fluffy, dress. With all those individual strands, I bet it was shedding all over the red carpet. For someone who is supposed to be a lover of fashion, Serena Williams often misses the mark on fashion inside and outside the tennis court. This dress just makes her look big and out of place. The royal wedding is over, so she needs to let that hat crawl away.

Thank you for supporting my fashion blog. It means the world to me to be able to talk about that which I love. La mode. This has been your dose of fashion. Open your mouth, and Swallow this post! I hope you feel more grounded in your sense of style than you did 5 minutes ago.
