My favorite fashion event of the year - The Met Ball - occurred Monday night in New York City. One thing I love about this event is that it's a little more fashion-forward. Celebrities tend to wear less traditional gowns (like you would see at the Oscars or the Emmys) and instead more beautiful couture and avant-garde gowns. I enjoy seeing celebrities taking risks with their outfit choices! Since there aren't many times in our everyday lives to wear such gowns, I thought it would be fun to take a step back from our typical style on SI and enjoy some of the amazing looks from the Met Ball! Below are some of my favorite looks, and I can't wait to gain some inspiration from these pictures to use towards my everyday style!
Rihanna wearing Stella McCartney
Anna Wintour wearing Chanel
Emma Stone wearing Thakoon
Emmy Rossum wearing Carolina Herrera
Coco Brandolini wearing Dolce and Gabbana
Lupita Nyong'o wearing Prada
Leighton Meester wearing Emilio Pucci
I also completely relish over the Met Gala, and I agree that that celebrities try to make a fashion statement that is meaningful, rather than to simply look posh and polished as with Award Ceremonies. I loved Leighton Meester in Emilio Pucci; the dress was so elegant and timeless! I especially am into wearing anything jeweled or embellished in neutral tones. In almost complete contrast though, I really admired Rosie Hunginton-Whitely's choice of an edgy, gladiator like dress: (Here's a url)
