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!

Style Fille: Lupita Nyong’o

How great does Lupita Nyong’o look in this sleek Prabal Gurung tuxedo dress? With purple lipstick, white pumps, and a Charlotte Olympia domino clutch, she’s a vision in black and white. And the best part – she looks comfortable, happy, and poised. Now that’s how you do red carpet!

Sometimes I wonder if I should just rename this blog Diane Kruger Style Blog and call it a day. As much as I try to scale back on Diane photos, I can never resist – she’s just so damn stylish!

Anyway…here’s Diane and Pacey Joshua Jackson at a Prabal Gurung event in LA, looking impossibly cool and sexy. Love them, that is all. Basically, this post was just an excuse to publish yet another adorable photo of my fave Hollywood couple. Enjoy!

What They Wore: Celeb Looks from Met Gala 2013

7 May, 2013 Nelia

met-gala-2013-punk-katy-perry-dolce-gabbana

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!

Remember those photos from the Prabal Gurung x Target commercial being shot in NYC last year? Well, now we have the full lookbook from the collection to drool over. I am seriously considering making a trip down south to get a few pieces for myself, since we still don’t have Target in Canada. The collection will hit the stores on February 10th, and will range in price from $19.99 to $199.99 for apparel and $12.99 to $39.99 for jewelry, handbags and shoes.

Prabal Gurung for Target Ad Campaign Featuring Olivia Thirlby

30 October, 2012 Nelia

prabal-gurung-target-ad-campaign

Last week, I posted a sneak peek of the Prabal Gurung for Target collection, which according to the designer was created with love in mind “having it, pining for it, losing it, wanting it”. And while the first photo looked very promising, with vivid floral prints and a modern silhouette…the upcoming ad campaign looks to be just as good.

Shot in New York City, the Prabal Gurung for Target collab ad campaign stars the adorable actress Olivia Thirlby and actor Chris Conroy, looking very much in love, shopping for flowers, strolling the streets of New York, and just being generally cute, while showcasing the highly-anticipated collection…on Olivia, of course. Don’t you just love the floral dress? And those strappy neon sandals? Super cute! And though the black and white dress isn’t my cup of tea, I can totally see how others might find it irresistible too! Also, I am totally cutting my hair shorter now…because of Olivia’s cut!

What do you think of these pieces? Are you as excited as I am? Let me know in the comments!

Breaking News, lovelies! Target has just announced that their next designer collaboration will be with none other than Prabal Gurung, hitting the stores on February 10th (through March 23rd) in stores and online! As a huge fan of Gurung’s elegant designs, I am beyond excited about this one! The collection ranges in price from $19.99 to $199.99 for apparel and $12.99 to $39.99 for jewelry, handbags and shoes.

“I am so thrilled to be working with Target on a collection that brings my designs to a wider audience,” said Prabal Gurung, designer. “This collection was inspired by love and if Target’s guests can feel even a little bit of the love that I felt while I was designing this collection, then I will consider it a job well done.”
