The Met’s Costume Institute Gala: Worst Dressed

kirsten-dunst-rodarte-met-2012

After unsuccessfully trying to narrow down the Met’s Costume Gala 2012 Worst Dressed list to 5 celebs, I gave up and included all 6 outfits that I found either too boring, too ill-fitting, or too reminiscent of Santa’s wifey.

Yeah, I’m referring to Kirsten Dunst in that last one. When I first saw her Rodarte outfit, I actually kinda (really) liked it. And I almost put her on my Best Dressed list, until…it hit me! She looks like Mrs. Claus!!! If this was a different color combo, I would’ve loved it…but in this light, in this photo, it looks like Kirsten is rocking a look straight out of Mrs. Santa’s closet. Once I saw it, that’s the only thing I could focus on.

gwyneth-paltrow-met-2012-prada

Oh, Gwyneth. I love you…and generally, you bring some serious style-porn. But not this time. This Prada dress made your boobs look saggy, and though you’ve got some gorgeous gams to show off, I found this dress ill-fitting, and a bit too short for you. Oh well, can’t win them all. Great accessories though.

coco-rocha-met-2012-elizabeth-taylor-givenchy

I wanted to love Coco Rocha’s vintage Givenchy jumpsuit, previously owned by Elizabeth Taylor. I tried to like it…but I just just couldn’t. I think it might be the awkward length, that probably worked like a charm on someone petite (like Elizabeth Taylor), but looks all wrong on Coco. And let’s face it, had we not known that this jumpsuit belonged to Elizabeth Taylor, would this outfit have gotten as much attention? I don’t think so. Also, that dyed-to-match hair? What was she thinking?

anja-rubik-met-2012

So, Anja Rubik…we get it, you’re a gorgeous model with a banging body…but when your slit goes all the way to your hip bones, and we can almost see your “humanity”, and when even Angelina Jolie thinks that you’re posing a bit too hard…perhaps it’s time to stitch that shit up…at least a couple of inches.

sjp-met-gala-2012-valentino

It breaks my heart to rag on SJP, but it has to be said…”Oh, honey, NO!”. Ok, now I feel better. Maybe on a leggy supermodel, with an up-do, and a few minor alterations, this vintage Valentino could be…interesting…but SJP drowns in it, looking more like fashion roadkill than fashion inspiration.

kristen-stewart-balenciaga-met-2012

And lastly, we have what probably is one of the most controversial outfits of the Met Gala 2012 - Kristen Stewart in Balenciaga. I won’t lie…I kinda like the dress, and I really like the shoes…but not together, and not at the Met, and not on Kristen. With her body and youth, I am sure Kristen’s options were plentiful…and out of everything she was offered, she chose THIS? Sorry, Kristen…maybe next year.

What I Wore: Holts Muse

holts muse

When I got an email from Holt Renfrew, asking me to participate in a Blogger Style Challenge for Holts Muse, I was ecstatic! Getting to roam the store, pick out anything and everything I liked, to put together 3 outfits – sounds like a dream, right? Well, it certainly was a lot of fun. Gracie, Elizabeth, and yours truly were each given a fun spring piece to style three different ways, and were then photographed by the amazing Adam Moco. Tough job, but someone had to do it.

My spring item was a sporty yellow mini from DVF. For my first outfit, I paired it with a kick-ass Balenciaga leather vest, a lovely Joie striped tee, and a red Balenciaga bag to complete the look. I also wore my own H&M tights, and Stuart Weitzman booties.

For my second outfit, I mixed prints by wearing a lovely DVF cardi over the versatile Equipment blouse, and finished off the look with an adorable neon pink DVF clutch. A little color to brighten up the day. I also wore the Loeffler Randall Natane lace-up stilettos…aka my wedding shoes. You like?

Oscars 2012: Emma Stone vs. Nicole Kidman

emma-stone-giambattista-valli-nicole-kidman-balenciaga-oscars

Back in 2007, Nicole Kidman wore arguably one of the best Oscars gowns ever. It was a red Balenciaga dress with a dramatic bow, and she looked gorgeous in it. Fast forward to 2012, and to lovely Emma Stone in a gorgeous Giambattista Valli gown…which I loved, but seeing how similar it is to Nicole’s iconic look, I had to ask. Who wore it best? Whose dress do you like best? Did Nicole do it better in Balenciaga, or is it Emma’s look that is red hot in your books? Take the poll below, and let me know!

Emma or Nicole?

Style Fille: Miroslava Duma

As always, am in love with Tommy Ton’s street style photos from Fall 2012 shows for Style.com…or rather his photos from outside of the Fall 2012 shows. After clicking through the lot of them, I spotted a few photos of my fave Russian Style Fille – Mira Duma, in a variety of amazing looks. From office-ready, to winter-cozy, to perfectly 70′s.

I love that this girl can pull off pretty much ANY look, without looking like a fashion victim. I also love that Balenciaga leather jacket of my dreams (below on Mira’s friend), and the fact that I have the same vintage Chanel backpack as Mira. I don’t know why it’s even important, but for some reason it made me happy. 

So, what do you think of Miroslava Duma’s fashion experiments? Which look of hers is your fave? And how in the world can I get my paws on those awesome leather overalls? If you know, share in the comments.

Valentine’s Day: Last-Minute Gifts for Her

Okay, so truth be told…most of these gifts are not last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts for “her” per say, but mostly for me…Stuff that I like, find pretty/cute/adorbs, and wouldn’t mind getting this Valentine’s Day…*hints, nudges, and pokes all around* If you think your girlfriend/friend/wife/lovah might like the same things…well, more power to you…I think any of the above would make a sweet gift to the one you adore. Or just buy it all for yourself, because the relationship that you have with yourself is the most important one. Am I right, or am I right?

What do you want this Valentine’s Day? Aside from yummy chocolates, of course! Share in the comments. Or if you’re still undecided, click here for more Valentine’s Day gift ideas.

Style Fille: Miranda Kerr

What is it about a combination of leather and stripes that gets me every time? It always looks chic and fresh to me, no matter how many times I might’ve seen it already. This Balenciaga leather jacket on Miranda Kerr in particular is so stunning, but so out of budget, that it’s making me shaky with frustration trying to find a similar one online…so far without much luck.

What do you think of Miranda’s look? Share in the comments.

Style Fille: Nicole Richie

Sometimes all it takes is a couple of classic pieces to make an outfit. It also helps if you’re Nicole Richie. That girl has an innate ability to make things look cool. Nicole sticks to her favorite Balenciaga, throws a denim jacket over a boho dress, and a pair of aviators to top it all off, and voilà – instant chic. And to think that just a couple of years ago she used to be besties with Paras Hilton. Seems like a different life now.

I was going to post a photo of Jo and I side by side, since we both wore striped shirts that day, but I will let you focus on the beautiful bag instead. Supple, supple leather heaven.

Style Fille: Diane Kruger

diane dots

Ok, so this photo of Diane Kruger is at least a week old now, but that’s not important. What’s important are those swiss dot tights. Love them so much! If you’ve been reading this blog, you already know that Diane is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to style. And yet again she doesn’t disappoint in this blue printed Balenciaga dress, paired not with the expected opaque tights, but with dotted ones. I wear a lot of dresses to the office, and fun tights are a must in my closet. Gotta find a pair like Diane’s. If anyone knows where I can get them in Toronto, please let me know!

Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga…again

balenciaga2 2009

I’ve always admired Jennifer Connelly’s beauty and acting chops, so was pretty excited to see her starring in Balenciaga ads again. The clothes are beautiful, while Connelly herself seems to almost disappear (apart from her awkward posing). Which I guess is the point – helps showcase the clothes, not the person wearing them. Love the rich, opulent colors and fabrics. Moody gorgeousness.
