The annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC was in full bloom as the stars came out to give their best take on punk rock influence on fashion and there was some hits and straight down right misses that would even have Anna Wintour gagging. Lets get started with my best dress list.
Best Dress
Jennifer Lopez in Michael Kors is amazing that body is serving up some sexy realest that is just undeniable and just so desirable, she is serving sexy rock and roll, Everything is on point from H2T.
Christina Ricci in Vivienne Westwood is sexy old Hollywood glam rock, you better work.
Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy looks great, love the fabric on this gown, it looks like an expensive french painting at a rockstars house.
Minka Kelly in Carolina Herrera is sexy and lace always gives a women an edge and I love the play of purple on Minka.
Marion Cotillard in Dior, one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood, I love the pastel hi-lo strapless gown on Marion, then the pop of yellow was even better.
Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney was a little off for me, but that spike belt is so awesome that I had to put her my best dress list. My only problem with this gown is the cape, but overall that dress would have been a hit with that belt and the sexy V in the back, so on the verge.
Hailee Steinfeld in Donna Karan Atelier, so cute, very punk rocker's daughter
Dylan's candy bar owner, Dylan Lauren looks like almost like a goddess in this gown designed by her dad Ralph Lauren.
Models Rock or Models Crock
Giselle Bundchen in Anthony Vacarello definitely a model rock and is still sexy doing it punk.
Rosie Huntington Whiteley In Saint Laurent was not stellar to me, it looked like a bird ripped a fish net feather. Yea, it just didn't make sense, why a beautiful model like Rosie would rock this crock.
Coco Roche in Emanuel Ungaro, in the words of Naomi Campell check your lipstick outfit before you talk to me walk the red carpet. Coco can give face to anything, but this was a huge crock of animal crap on the Met Gala carpet that I don't even think Coco herself would want to be cleaning after she sees how hideous this dress looked. It looks like Snooki and her baby collaborated and made this dress, arts and crafts for Jersey Shore meets Toddlers and Tiaras. Major crock for you Coco.
Heidi Klum in Marchesa doesn't give me punk rock, but more glam rock. I love the strapless embroidery bodice with the silk, satin train with the ruching detailing to create dimension and structure to the gown. Heidi may not have given me punk, but she gave me punk rocker's bride to be wedding gown. So for that I will say that she model rock that shhh.
Miranda Kerr in Michael Kors is a model rock for me, black with cut outs on the top, just sexy and edgy.
Karolina Kurkova in Mary Katrantzo was too simple, she wasn't giving me life with this, so I would say it was a crock.
Joan Smalls In Tom Ford with Tom Ford as her date. Who wouldn't want to be in a Tom Ford's web of a fashion moment. That is sexy, it's hot, it is punk rock, honey child.
Designer's Muse
Rooney Mara in Givenchy and its creative director Riccardo Tisc. This gown was ok to me, but I don't think it great and it looks poorly made.
Uma Thurman and designer Zac Posen, Zac is a genius that understands a woman's body and Zac always gets it and gets how to make a woman feel like a woman. Zac is the man I would marry. This gown is divine.
Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola in Marc Jacobs. I love Marc, because he is my fashion dare devil that innovates and create intricate pieces that's often recreated transcending into trends that we all love. With that said, why is this Sofia chick wearing what looks like plaid leather PJ's?
Kerry Washington and Vera Wang serving up too much punk, it almost look like they were trying to hard or they took the theme way too literal. Kerry doesn't have to try hard to get it right and I think that punk was out of her norm, so it just went to literal and over the top. All I want to do is rip that extra fabric from the front looking like an molly the maid's apron and scissor off that black gothic tail.
Couples Hot Or Not
Victor Cruz in Lanvin and Elaina Watley.. I love this, like that Lanvin blazer on Victor I would die for that in my closet. On Elaina, I love the rhinestone cropjack.
Alexis Welch in John Baptiste Valle and Amar'e Stoudemire, a mess, a hot mess. They look odd like they don't belong, please just a big no. Not
Kelly Osbourne knows punk all to well to fail so miserable here in Marc Jacobs. I love Marc and love Kelly, but Kelly and her main squeeze Matt doesn't have nothing on the real Ozzy and Sharrrronnn!
Not
Emily Blunt keeps it dark and edgy in Carolina Herrera, while hubby, John Krasinski keeps it sharp and classic in Tom Ford.
Hot
KimYe in Givenchy. Kanye looks amazing in Givenchy Menswear, but can't say the same for Kim in Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci. Kim almost look like Macy's Flower exhibit, all ready to bloom with that pregnant belly, but nice makeup. It was just yesterday when I was talking about how Kim tries to hard sometimes, SMH...That is a nice flower basket Kanye got, right.
Not!
Worst
Gwyneth Paltrow in Valentino looked like a adult Honey boo boo with this bright fuschia pink fabric with no shape or structure to it except for that mesh cut out at the top and what's with the meshing G second time in the last week or 2? I know pink is punk rock, but gown is not down, take it bak to the designing table.
Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs, another fail in Marc. Miley looks like a hobo, I am sorry, but she looks like she stink here, she looks dirty.. wet dog? woof? lol
Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney, would have like this on someone else.
Kate Parry in D&G, Medieval times please come back for your girl Kate.
Madonna looks crazy, not punk, give it up
lady from 100th Dalmatian, I mean Madonna.
Anna Hathaway in vintage Valentino, sometimes vintage has to stay vintage and just be on display at a shop or at a museum and not be worn.
SJP looks crazy as hell in this one of kind mohawk-like Philip Treacy feathered headdress, Giles Deacon gown, and knee-high tartan Christian Louboutin boots, Honestly it was just too much going on here. I think the gown is beautiful would have been a best dress for me with simple and better shoes and without the headdress.
So, Nicole Richie in custom Topshop had a bad hair dye experience, but she was still insisted on attending the Met Gala after she allowed her kids to dye her hair.
Beyonce looked fire ready for the bottom of the pits of hell in this Givenchy gown that looked more like expensive drapes.
Ashley Greene in Marchesa was awful and her hair was a mess. Looks like she is hiding punk under her flock of frock. Try saying that 5 times really fast.
Stacey Kibler in Rachel Roy looks a mess. Trick bye. Its boring.
Renee, look I am lost. What is that?
Just because it couture doesn't mean we all have to love it or wear it on the red carpet and not just because you can, it means wear it. Mary-Kate Olsen in vintage Chanel Couture, please stop dressing like you're 80.
