What They Wore: Celeb Looks from Met Gala 2014

6 May, 2014 Nelia

liu-wen-zac-posen-met-gala-dress-2014

What’s more important – adhering to a dress code or bringing something fresh to the red carpet? Last night at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, some celebs decided to pay homage to the celebrated American designer Charles James, while others chose to wear something exciting instead. No shade to James, but after seeing one too many taffeta-clad celebs, I cheered when I glimpsed Lupita Nyong’o’s Prada amazingness. Sure, it wasn’t exactly inspired by Charles James, but it was fun to look at, and if anyone could pull off the bejeweled net dress with feathers, it’s Lupita. Same goes for Kirsten Dunst’s Rodarte Star Wars gown – amazing, and probably not the most appropriate for that particular theme, but still…so cool! Another look I couldn’t resist last night was Chloe Sevigny in Kenzo, which was probably much too modern for last night’s theme, but I loved it all the same.

But it wasn’t solely the rebels that caught my eye, I absolutely adored Liu Wen in a Zac Posen stunner (which I just got to see at Holts last week!), Emmy Rossum in a floral Carolina Herrera gown, Giovanna Battaglia in an 0ff-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana, and Hailee Steinfeld in a very theme-(and age)-appropriate black, white, and pink Prabal Gurung gown.

Mostly though, I was underwhelmed with last night’s red carpet looks. My favourite Style Fille Diane Kruger looked washed out in pale blue (though Joshua more than made up for it!), SJP disappointed in a messy Oscar de la Renta, Johnny Depp came dressed as Colonel Sanders, Kate Upton, who isn’t exactly a high-fashion darling, looked frumpy in a Dolce & Gabbana gown, and the rest of the lot just looked…been-there-wore-that.

What do you think of last night’s Met Gala red carpet? Which celebs got it right in your opinion? Share in the comments!

Zara Woman August 2012 Lookbook

8 August, 2012 Nelia

zara-august-2012-lookbook

Remember when I was all “cooler temps = cooler clothes”? Well, if this Zara August 2012 Lookbook, featuring the lovely Liu Wen, doesn’t prove it, then I don’t know what will. Literally half of the items in these photos are going on my fall wishlist. Where shall I start? Jacket above – MUST HAVE! Dress below – YES, PLEASE! The entire collection of leather, boucle, feathers, knits, lace, embroidery, and more leather has me drooling, while my wallet is quietly weeping in the corner.

I know I’m not the only one who’s obsessed with this lookbook! Who’s with me?

Liu Wen and Constance Jablonski For Estée Lauder

16 April, 2010 Nelia

Estée Lauder’s just announced the addition of Liu Wen and Constance Jablonski to their brand ambassador roster. And though Jablonski is the first French girl to ever land an Estée Lauder campaign, I am mostly excited that the brand signed their first Chinese model to represent them…like ever! Aerin Lauder said, “Estée Lauder has always searched for global beauties that define a generation. Constance and Liu Wen are the beauties of our time. Both models have quickly captured the attention of the fashion and beauty world.”

I am glad that Estée Lauder, the brand that is known for such ambassadors as Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Rhoda, Carolyn Murphy, and Elizabeth Hurley, is finally introducing some diversity to their campaigns. Small step, but one that makes me just a bit more hopeful.

Wa-Wa-We-Wang!

21 December, 2009 Nelia

As it appears, messy hair, fuzzy and jersey sweaters, simple make-up, and Vogue meets PE class styling makes for an awesome “inspiration shoot”. Next time I roll out of bed and go to work without brushing my hair, I’ll be blaming Alexander Wang and his bevy of beauties.
