Monday night saw the opening of the 2011 Metropolitan Museum of Arts Institute Gala Ball (Met Gala, to you and me), this year showcasing the opening of ‘Savage Beauty’ to honour the late Alexander McQueen.The Red Carpet expectations were understandably high with the Met Gala considered the biggest event of the fashion calendar by all who attend. This year was no exception; the red carpet was alive with British designers, from McQueen to Stella McCartney, with Topshop even making a surprise appearance. Designers such as Chanel, Givenchy and Vera Wang weren’t to be out done by us Brits, making very strong fashion statements of their own, being worn by some of the most glamorous and beautiful women in the world.
Let us take you on a red carpet tour of the 2011 Met Gala Ball, to showcase, in our opinion, the finest and most awfully dressed attendees...
The Best of the Best:-
5. Diane Kruger – Jason Wu
The 34-year-old wore a very sexy number by Taiwanese designer, Jason Wu. Diane played by all the fashion rules; chic embellished top with a long skirt with an even longer slit – just showing the right amount of flesh! The fashion jury is out, and we love it! We can’t help but notice how similar this outfit is to our very own Bebaroque dress!
4. Eva Mendes – Stella McCartney
Miss Mendes oozed elegance as she graced the red carpet in this royal blue, pleated Grecian number by Stella McCartney. Eva may have played it safe, but it certainly payed off. Kudos to you!
3. Gisele Bundchen – Alexander McQueen
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, looked amazing, naturally, in this scarlet McQueen number from the 2005 Autumn collection. We can’t find one fault with this dress, it’s effortlessly stunning! The Brazilian model explained what an honour it was wearing an Alexander McQueen Dress, “When I was 17, McQueen gave me my first big break by booking me for his fashion show. Doing his show opened many doors for my career. I’m excited to be wearing one of his designs to honour him”.
2. Blake Lively – Chanel Couture
Blake Lively was the definition of glamour and beauty all rolled into one. Not only did the Gossip Girl actress and the face of Chanel get to walk the red carpet with the one and only Karl Lagerfeld, but she got to do it wearing Chanel Couture! Jealous! The mix of Grecian folds and body-con embellishments make this a winning combination and a well deserved number two spot on our best dressed chart!
And the Number One spot goes to....
1.Sarah Jessica Parker – Alexander McQueen
...of course it did! Who else but the man of the hour could be more deserving of this honour! SJP glistened in this Alexander McQueen sparkly gown and was one of the rare few who got to wear an archive look from McQueen’s autumn 2005 collection. What a lucky lady!
The Worst of the Worst
By far, no contest Naomi Campbell was the worst dressed woman on the Met Gala red carpet wearing, unfortunately - McQueen. Just because it’s good enough for Kate The Duchess of Cambridge, does not mean it’s appropriate to don a white bridal gown down the red carpet. Everything about Naomi’s look screams: WRONG! Hopefully this supermodel can redeem herself next year and make it on to our Best Dressed list!
Love,
The Girls xox
