10 Looks We Love From The 2011 Met Gala

Daphne Guiness in Alexander McQueen

Yesterday, New York’s most highly anticipated fashion event of the year (aside from those two weeks in February and September) occurred at the Metropolitan Museum of Art honoring deceased fashion legend Alexander McQueen. We anxiously waited for the twitpics to roll in of our favorite celebs playing high fashion ingénues for the night. With all of the hoopla that surrounded this event, we’d have to say the fashion was less than what we expected. Like for starters, why was there so much non-McQueen? The night of tribute was saved by Daphne Guinness, muse of McQueen, who changed into her feathered McQueen gown for the world to see in the windows of Barney’s literally for the world to see. Fashionably, the night was a big let down with most starlets opting for pieces outside of the realm of McQueen, but there were some highlights.

Daphne Guinness emerged in an amazingly bold, head-to-toe feathered McQueen. We wouldn’t wear this ourselves but kudos to Daphne for honoring the man of the night.

This wouldn’t be a best dressed list sans a Diane Kruger appearance or that of her legs of steel. The beauty opted for a hot Jason Wu that screamed seductive siren. We like this look a lot.

Emma Stone was absolutely gorgeous in her black and white floral Lanvin. She worked a fun neon pink lip while exuding so much class and elegance.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who was a close friend of McQueen honored him by donning a sparkly number. The look leaned more on the safe side, but we’ll take it.

Blake Lively posed with Karl Lagerfeld in Chanel Couture.

Beyonce showed up on the arm of hubby Jay-Z in a skin tight Pucci. Word spread around Twitter that she was booed by photographers because she couldn’t even move in the dress.

Ginnifer Goodwin stole the show in an emerald green cut-out Topshop Unique! We’ll forever question why a Topshop dress owned a couture red carpet.

Gisele Bündchen was gorgeous, but what else is new.

Christina Ricci brought the drama in a webby Zac Posen which fits her off-beat style.

Another name known for beating to her own drum was Rihanna who wore a lace one-sleeve Stella McCartney and a huge braid.

Chanel Cruise Collection 2011 – 4 Dominant Trends

One of the most highly anticipated fashion events of the year took place this week in a stone paved pavilion in Saint Tropez. What else could we be referring to but a Karl Lagerfeld Chanel Resort runway show. At the top of every summer, the resort collection notoriously sets the tone for summer fashion and the attitude of women attempting to recreate the high priced look. Based on what we can see, the collection was heavily inspired by the jet-setter traveling to exclusive destinations with one bag just large enough to carry her vacation wardrobe.

A hopeful sign for the summer fashion outlook, the models strolled down the runway in alluring flowing ruffles, dainty gingham print bathing suits, sophisticated stripes, and sweet color block dresses. A huge departure from Lagerfeld’s hairy fall 2010 collection. Models arrived on set in lavish motorboats and strutted down the cement runway barefoot. Who needs shoes when you’re young, rich and having fun? Biggest surprises of the show included a plus-sized Crystal Renn, walking not once but twice and Georgia Mae Jagger closed out the show on the back of a motorcycle with her dad’s tune “Let’s Spend the Night Together” playing in the background. Check out some of our favorite looks below.

Grizzly Chic at Chanel Fall 2010!

Most fashion houses such as Celine and others focused on minimalism – taking fashion back to the sharp tailoring that focuses on the woman wearing it. Meanwhile, Chanel Fall 2010 disregarded that theme and came all the way out of the left field with full on fur–excuse me– faux fur jumpsuits, lady like dress suits, and fur for men; all of this upon a dramatic icy arctic background. Karl Lagerfeld must be predicting some mass natural disaster in which the whole world would be frozen over in Fall 2010. Check out some of the looks below.
