Last Night at the Met

Last night was one of my favorite nights in fashion--the Met Ball.  This year you could even watch the live stream on vogue.com!  I just adore imagining what I'd wear if I got to go some day as well as lust after my favorite celebrity fashions.

Ever since finding this song, I am pretty Lana Del Rey obsessed.  This is also probably the only night of the year that someone can pull off a cape.  (Shown with Mr. Altuzarra.)

I really adore the light purple of Dakota's Louis Vuitton.

And since last night was a Gossip Girl night, you could get a double dose of dear ol' Mr. Bass if you also saw him strut the red carpet.

And of course, Chace didn't want to miss a good party either.

As the Met is definitely a chance for high fashion, Cate Blanchett's feather McQueen was a perfect choice.

There were a lot of sequins including on Nina Dobrev.

But Camilla Belle's Ralph Lauren stunner kind of stole the show.

As did Bianca Brandolini d'Adda--what an exit!

And although I'm not a fan of the top (you have this opportunity and wear a buttoned up jean jacket?!), I do like Jenna Lyons' skirt, especially if it was steamed a bit.

And another outfit that will be the talk of the town today--Beyonce in a very sheer Givenchy number.

And someone cough, cough, Anja Rubik was giving Angie a run for her money with a very high leg pop.

Who were your favorites?  What designer would you wear if you got the invite one day?

  1. Ew I don't like Beyonce's dress at ALL!!!! Or the last one, don't even know who she is. And Jenna Lyons? Denim? Seriously?

    Love all the others though! :)

  2. Jenna Lyons is not my fave in general, especially in this look.

    But... my fave was Diana Kruger in an amazing purple number that was perfectly styled.

    I wish celebs would take a note from the Met Ball and bring serious fashion back to the Oscars.

  4. I just posted about this too! I loved January Jones and Amber Heard along with Camilla Belle... GORGEOUS!!!! If I got invited I would have to wear either Marchesa, Ralph Lauren, or Zac Posen. I guess I'll have to be invited three times! Thanks for the beautiful post. :)

  7. I loved Cate Blanchett- usually she's a bit out there but I thought this was so elegant on her.
