Since I accidentally
managed to write more than I intended to in my last two updates, I thought this
would be a great week to take a little detour and incorporate some fashion fun
into my corner of the blog.
Earlier this week, the
annual Met Gala took place in New York City, and, as always, the stars came out
for what many have dubbed the East Coast’s version of the Oscars. With this
year’s theme paying tribute to the extraordinary Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia
Prada, the fashions ranged from traditional to avant-garde…and even to hot
mess. Below are my five most memorable looks of the evening.
Keep in mind I said “most
memorable,” not “the best.”
1.
Anna Wintour smartly (and
chicly) stuck to the theme of the evening by wearing a Prada gown inspired by
Schiaparelli’s infamous lobster dress of the 1930’.
2.
Sarah Jessica Parker looked
as though she took inspiration from Scarlett O’Hara and pulled down her
grandmother’s curtains in order to fashion her evening ensemble. In reality,
her look was courtesy of Valentino.
3.
Supermodel Karolina Kurkova
channeled her inner Daisy Buchanan in a slinky gown and turban with a 1920’s
feel, designed by Rachel Zoe.
4.
Also taking inspiration
from The Great Gatsby? Actress Camilla Belle (is she still acting? I can’t
recall…no shade though!), who wowed in this Ralph Lauren sheath.
5.
Finally, what can be said
for Lauren Santo Domingo’s daring look? It may be Oscar de la Renta, but to the
mainstream fashion critics, it looks a bit more like a mother of the bride suit
circa 1983 crossed with the extravagance of Princess Diana’s wedding dress. Oh,
Ms. Santo Domingo, you’re an editor at Vogue…you should know better.
