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!

What They Wore: Celeb Looks from Met Gala 2013

7 May, 2013 Nelia

This year’s Met Gala theme was “PUNK: Chaos to Couture”, and since so many of the celebs in attendance nailed it, I couldn’t simply post my fave looks and be done with it. This time, I chose to bring you not only my fave looks, but also the runners-up, and the headscratchers all in one post.

Let’s start with my faves. I loved the ornate Dolce and Gabbana dress on Katy Perry, the grand headpiece on SJP, the elegant Margiela on Gwen Stefani, the stunning, but decidedly NOT punk Givenchy gown on Rooney Mara, and an orange moomoo-like goodness on Ashley Olsen. None of those looks screamed punk to me, but I found these dresses to be interesting, fashion-forward, and gorgeous too. Well, SJP’s panty-flashing Giles gown wasn’t exactly my type, but if anyone could’ve pulled it off it’s her.

Apart from my top 5, I enjoyed so many other looks! From Giovanna Battaglia gilded head-to-toe goodness, to Solange Knowles looking lovely in a Kenzo gown that was perhaps a tad too casual for the Met, but beautiful nonetheless, to Emma Watson in a very sexy Prabal Gurung…there was no shortage of fashion porn at this year’s gala. Some celebs decided to don simple LBDs to the event, which in my opinion was a total waste (I’m looking at you, Michelle Williams), but others made up for it with punk hair (Miley Cyrus), and studs galore (looking gorgeous, Sienna Miller!).

All in all, I loved this year’s fashion offerings. I hate wading through a million photos of boring outfits, and this year there weren’t too many.

So now it’s your turn! Which celebs brought their A-game to the 2013 Costume Institute Gala, and which crashed and burned? Share your opinions in the comments!

SATC2 Style: Why?

19 October, 2009 Nelia

The rumours have been swirling for a while now, but up until last weekend it was not confirmed and I was hoping for the best! Alas, my hopes are totally dashed, as we have photos of Miley Cyrus on the set of the second Sex and the City movie. Why, oh why, did the producers agree to this atrocity? Who wants her in the movie??? She is so annoying, and annoying, and also…annoying (just watch her interview with Ellen DeGeneres). Isn’t she super-Christian too? Why would she even want to be in this movie? The movie that speaks so openly (at least Sam does) about sex? The girl that has vowed to not have any until marriage (yeah, ok!). And this also makes me question the demographic that they are targeting with her appearance. Who are Miley’s fans? Tweens and teenagers. Total sellout. Instead of writing intriguing/interesting storylines, they are hiring famewhores to star in their (PG?) film. Way to go!

But going back to the SATC2 Style…Sam’s necklace is amazing! Love it so much! Plus Kim Cattrall does not age! And, in my opinion, the dress looks way better on her than on the 16 year old. But maybe that’s just me, because Miley Cyrus is selling millions of tickets to her concerts. She is a star and a style icon, and an inspiration for the thousands of children everywhere…because, quoting Lainey Gossip, “people suck”.

Miley Cyrus is No Diva, but…

18 September, 2009 Nelia

…I like the dress that she wore to VH1 Divas show. Correction, I like the back of her dress, definitely not the front. Does that make it better? I kind of hate myself for admitting this, it’s like saying that I like…to watch More to Love. Kind of the same, right? Shameful. Did I mention that I only like the back of the dress?

SATC2 Style: SJP And The City

1 September, 2009 Nelia

I don’t care if she’s getting older, don’t care that the first movie didn’t live up to its hype, don’t care if the storyline is going to be tired or forced. Do not care. Because Carrie Bradshaw is awesome. Because I love Sex and the City (always have and always will). And because any chance to see the stylish (thanks to Pat Field) foursome together again (with a dash of Mr. Big, Steve, Stanford and hopefully Aidan) is a chance I would never pass up. The only thing is…Miley Cyrus was filming scenes for the movie. Miley-pole-dancing-annoying-Cyrus! Blasphemy!

I don’t have high expectations for this movie, but I am still waiting with “bated breath”…Remember which episode this line’s from? Oh, memories! What about you? Are you excited about the movie or are you over it?

Emma Roberts at Teen Choice Awards

10 August, 2009 Nelia

Is it me, or do 15 year old girls of Hollywood begin to look increasingly like 35 year old streetwalkers? Look at the teen favorite Miley Cyrus, for example, at Teen Choice Awards, strangely enough sporting a cross dangling on her neck and ears, while wearing a very short skirt, and proceding to dance with a pole during the show…definitely not looking like a teenager that she is. And there’s more of them, Ali Lohan and Cyrus’ younger sister spring to mind.

So it’s a really nice treat to finally see a young woman dressing appropriately for her age, looking fresh-faced and…yes, young. Is it because of her famous aunt? Is it the upbringing? Will she become another Lohan with age? Hope not.

So above is Emma Roberts at last night’s Teen Choice Awards, looking amazing in a modern, stylish, and not at all hoochie outfit. Compare and contrast.
