The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala Ball (try saying that fast) took place in NYC last night and the creme of the crop where in attendance! The benefit is known for being one of fashion's premiere events, yet last night's bash is being hailed as a bit of a disappointment. That may have something to do with this year's theme - 'American Women: Fashioning A National Identity'- but it seems most fashionistas went for safe, simple and beautiful looks. I suppose the absense of Miss Lady Gaga from the red carpet (she was performing inside at the time) probably didn't help! However, there were some stunning dresses and it has been hard to narrow it down - everyone seems to have been there!
Here are some of my favourite looks...
L-R: Camilla Belle in Jason Wu, Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad and Mila Kunis in Vera Wang.
L-R: Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Burberry, Natasha Poly in Michael Kors and Lily Donaldson in Marc Jacobs.
L-R: Blake Lively in Marchesa, Coco Rocha in Zac Posen and Alessandra Ambrosio in Versace.
L-R: Jessica Stam in Rachel Roy, Donatella Versace in Versace of course and Bar Refaeli in Rag & Bone.
And some not so good looks...
L-R: Demi Moore in Lanvin, Kristen Stewart in Chanel Haute Couture and Riley Keough in Thakoon for Gap.
As you can see, it was an uneventful night for outfits. There were some pretty dresses but nothing that will be remembered in a week's time! It can be frustrating as these people have access to the best frocks, the best stylists, the best designers but I guess maybe it is better to be safe than sorry even if that means - boring. Oh Gaga, you were missed...
