What They Wore: Met Gala 2015 Recap

5 May, 2015 Nelia

Robert-Pattinson-FKA-Twigs-Met-Gala-2015
Ok, so first things first – to me, The Met Gala is all about taking risks, embracing the theme, and going all out. This event is not the time to pull out your LBD, your prom dress (I’m looking at you, Elizabeth Banks!), or your ice-skating get up (unless the theme is ice-skating, that is). With that said, I don’t think Beyonce, who so many consider the Best Dressed of the evening, brought her A-game. She wore a gown that revealed a lot of skin, not unlike JLo, and completely failed at embracing the night’s theme – “China: Through the Looking Glass”, and while my top picks are probably not going to be crowd-pleasers, I firmly stand by my choices.

My top looks of the night included FKA Twigs in a crazy-cool Christopher Kane dress (yes that’s a penis, and no, Robert Pattinson does not deserve her hotness), Georgia May Jagger in an Asian-inspired Gucci robe, Solange in a Giles Deacon flying saucer amazingness, which totally did not adhere to the dress code, but was so bonkers I loved it, Chloe Sevigny in a very theme-appropriate JW Anderson creation that is sure to land her on some Worst Dressed lists, but I thought she pulled off flawlessly…I also loved Grace Coddington in silk pajamas. I know, it’s pajamas…but it’s Grace effing Coddington, and she had a flight right after…and she looks awesome and comfy.

In other Met Gala news, SJP wore a dress designed by H&M (!!!), and Emily Ratajkowski wore a pretty Topshop frock…fast fashion on the Met Gala red carpet? I never thought I’d see the day. I loved Dakota Johnson’s CHANEL handbag, which was super cute…and while her disco-ball dress did look smashing on her, perhaps she should’ve opted for something a little more fancy. I have to say that I didn’t love Rihanna’s “omelet” gown, but I’ll take it over what Kanye West’s wife wore any day…Also, there’s a photo I can’t find right now, one where Rihanna’s going up the red stairs and it looks like an image from a fairy tale. Points to RiRi for taking a risk.

I also thought Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus, Carey Mulligan, Diane Kruger, and Keri Russell deserve shout-outs for their awesome outfits last night…they weren’t my faves for the occasion, but were notable nonetheless. Lastly, Emily Blunt looked lovely in a caped Prada…but there’s something about this look that’s just not doing it for me…perhaps if it was in a different colour?

So here you have it, my recap of the Met Gala 2015…Share your faves after the jump!

London 2012 Olympics: Models, and Spice Girls, and Erdem, Oh My!

12 August, 2012 Nelia

Did you watch the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremonies? So much amazingness all at once. So many fantastic British performers! Loved seeing tributes to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie…loved Beady Eye…and of course, SPICE GIRLS!!! Zigazigah forever!

But the one thing that I was not expecting, was a tribute to the British fashion industry, as showcased by iconic Brit models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, Lily Cole, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, and David Gandy. Both Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell shined in Alexander McQueen, while Lily Donaldson wore Vivienne Westwood, Stella Tennant – Christoper Kane, Karen Elson – Burberry, and Lily Cole looked incredible in Erdem…who’s technically a Canadian, but whatever.

Did you watch the closing ceremonies? What was your favorite part? Share in the comments!

Style Fille: Winter White

6 December, 2011 Nelia

Today I give you not one, not two, but three Style Filles! From SJP’s snowflake-inspired feathered Louis Vuitton number, to Alexa Chung’s Christopher Kane sparkler, to Cate (The Great) Blanchett’s see-through, yet classy Louis Vuitton frock, I am seriously loving this White After Labour Day trend! Don’t you?

And since I am seriously biased towards those kitschy-yet-cute Charlotte Olympia Kitty heels that Alexa is sporting, I will let you decide which star looked best in winter white. Take the poll below, and cast your vote!

Style Fille: Miroslava Duma

27 July, 2011 Nelia

Mira is a woman after my own heart, whether wearing the shit out of her scarlett 3.1 Philip Lim trench, rocking an H&M shirt/dress without any shoes, or sporting one of my favorite Christopher Kane galaxy dresses, she always looks like a million bucks. If you’re a fan of this tiny style fille’s fashion sense, make sure to check out her latest venture – Buro 24/7. If you’re a Russian-speaker like me, you’ll be happy to read some great fashion articles, and for the rest of you, there’s Mira’s daily outfits to keep you clicking. Either way, it’s a win-win.

Wishlist: Christopher Kane Resort 2011

17 December, 2010 Nelia

Dearest Santa,

If I could have just one thing this year…one of these Christopher Kane Resort 2011 dresses (in a size 6, 8, or 10) from The Room at The Bay would do just fine!

Please and thank you,

xoxo

Holidays 2009: All I Want for Christmas…

4 December, 2009 Nelia

 Christmas

Dear Santa,

I know I wasn’t perfect this year, but I was hoping that you could overlook my small transgressions and bring me some swag anyway! Those Christopher Kane Cloud dresses are fab, and so are the Black Milk Sheer Spartan leggings! I would also like two all-inclusive tickets to Bali at some gorgeous resort. M’kay? Thanks!

Will try to be better next year!

xoxos,

Nelly

PS. No cookies this year. Trying to get fit for Bali. Help yourself to carrots and wheat grass shots in the fridge. Might help with chimney sliding too. You’re welcome.
