Fashion Recap: The Met Gala!

It was a fashion fairytale come to life Monday night in New York City as the 2012 Met Gala celebrated "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations". A night consisting of Queen Anna Wintour's presence, sparkles, feathers, and all the biggest names in the fashion industry...sounds like heaven! I loved that a lot of the A-listers actually took some risks at the event instead of wearing basic award show type of dresses. This is the NYC Met after all, go big or go back to LA!

Best Dressed:

Ah Gisele and Tom! Every fairytale needs a king and a queen! This night was definitely all about the fabulous gowns that the ladies were wearing but it wouldn't have been right to blog about the Gala and not include these two. Let's be honest, their perfection has been leaving everyone envious since their 2008 Met appearance. Still swooning!

Scarlett Johansson in this Dolce & Gabbana gown is the reason why celebrity and designer ad campaigns work so well. The beading, the train, and the tight fit were made for ScarJo. She looks like a true movie star here! This gown is so stunning I just want to frame it in my house(or do an Avengers/Black Widow style workout and potentially wear it).

First off, how and why is Gwyneth Paltrow getting hotter as she gets older? I'm all for "beauty at any age" but GOOP's fierceness has definitely increased since her Brad Pitt dating days. She totally pulled off the slinky and daring Versace! I could've done without the side boob for obvious wardrobe malfunction reasons but Gwyneth's color and pattern coordination right down to the shoes made up for it.

Holly shimmer! After a successful fashion moment with Donna Karan at the Emmy's, Nina Dobrev opted to wear another one of the designer's gowns. The Donna Karan Atelier's texture was so elegant but the gown's details completely prevented it from blending in with the crowd. I love that Nina is finding her own style while working with this brand. Dresses like this that have the wide diversity to easily switch from editorial to red carpet are always the memorable ones!

Gala co-chair Carey Mulligan didn't disappoint in this Prada sparkling dress! She's literally wearing a work of art. This texture can be super difficult to pull off because it can appear cheap but let's be real...this is Prada's designs. "Looking cheap" was never really an option. The way the sequins are reflecting off of everything adds to the dress' complexity. 

And then there was Diane Kruger. I love this woman's ability to work any and every fashion trend. She's so fabulous the girl could lounge around a beach with this Prada gown on and she wouldn't look out of place. The feathers, the clutch, the necklace, the way she doesn't even have to do anything with her hair because the whole look is already perfection! Diane Kruger is a natural fashion icon who doesn't even have to try hard.

Fashion Friday: Top Five Favorites of the Week

Smash

As a musical theater lover, I can't wait for the premiere of Smash! A show about what goes on behind the scenes during a Marilyn Monroe musical? Already sounds like perfection to me.

4.

The film production of Les Miserables has been off to a rocky start, so I had to let out a sigh of relief when Amanda Seyfried was casted as Cosette. The young actress is easily going to be a scene stealer while owning that iconic wedding dress and belting out the classic songs. Amanda has plenty of experience for this part thanks to her musical background. Here's to hoping the character of Eponine is also played by a well trained actress...

3.

New year, new designer guilty pleasure! As 2011 was winding down, it seemed Kate Spade was everywhere. The adorable brand sells irresistible clothes, jewels, shoes, phone covers, purses, and much more! Looking forward to investing much of my shopping time at this store this year.

2.

After an extremely long and unnecessary hiatus, the Vampire Diaries finally returned last night! Don't let the fact that it's on the CW keep you from watching this show. Not only does it have the hottest cast on television(Ian Somerhalder, swoon!), but every episode always ends with such a crazy cliffhanger that you'll be left begging for more. Although the show might not be known for its fashion, these characters are pretty much throwing a different party/fundraiser every week so there's plenty of couture eye candy to go around.

This past week, Dior announced Mila Kunis as the new face for the brand. I would love to meet whoever is behind Dior's marketing team because they can seriously do no wrong! Charlize, Marion, Natalie, and now Mila? This fashion label has the best advertising campaigns with the some of the top leading ladies in Hollywood. 

Fashion Review: 2011 Emmy's

Modern Family might have swept the majority of awards Sunday night but it was a battle for the ultimate prize on the red carpet. Different actresses wowed audiences with their stunning gowns. Here's a look at the best looks of the night...

Nina Dobrev looked red hot! The Vampire Diaries actress was easily the best dressed of the night. This Donna Karan dress had a beautiful structure. I adore Nina, but was not expecting her to steal the show! She's never been well known for her fashion status but hopefully that's all about to change. Between this and her Emmy's dress from last year, Nina is making her mark in the fashion world!

This is what happens when your date is a fabulous movie star. Emily Blunt supported her hubby John Krasinski and brought some fun to the Emmy's! The abstract Ellie Saab dress is the perfect transition from summer to fall. I think Miranda Priestly would approve of this gorgeous pattern!

Julie Bowen was full of surprises on Sunday night! Not only did she win her first Emmy, but she also wore a sleek dress while doing so. Who says comedic actresses can't dress well? Julie took a fun twist on on a basic color.

I love Lea Michele and Marchesa so much! This collaboration was stunning, however, I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Lea looked fab but she's had more extravagant looks in the past. I do have to give credit to Lea for wearing a toned down look for a change. Whether it's Oscar de la Renta or Marchesa, she knows how to work those big labels!

Does Sofia Vergara ever not look incredible? Gorgeous combination of the bright jewelry with her Vera Wang gown.

I feel like Martha Plimpton isn't getting enough credit for this dress! I love the classic style and winter color. Very classy and old Hollywood! (Also, bonus points for being part of this hilarious setup)

Hope everyone had a great start to award season! So much more red carpet action is just around the corner.
