DressDown

WWD
Whilst most of the stars partied the night away in their fancy frocks, it seems Sienna and Blake had other plans.

Marc's Bad Hair Day

WWD
Mr Jacobs wore a baseball cap to the Met Ball earlier this week...apparently he was telling everyone it was due to a bad hair day.
Loving his man bag clutch!

Part Two

I think maybe I was a bit harsh on Kristen Stewart this morning...I've decided it's not her fault..it's the dress.
But anyway moving on..

Alexa Chung cemented her fashion status showing up in a Phillip Lim tuxedo on the arm of the designer. Not sure what I think about her latest look, but it's certainly different to everyone else - do love the shoes

Natasha Poly looked amazing in liquid gold - I love love love the dramatic make up on her

socialitelife
Sienna Miller made her first public appearance with Jude Law, looking beautifully sun kissed and whilst I'm not crazy about the Pucci dress, from the neck up I think she looks really great. Even Jude was looking much better than he has in a long time...they must bring out the best in each other.

Kate Bosworth turned to classic Hollywood glamour for her look and didn't disappoint in this gorgeous Valentino gown.

I was disappointed with Carey Mulligan's choice... and it saddens me even more to say that when I know it was Miu Miu. It's just doesnt seem quite right for the Met Gala.

I thought that Rachel Bilson looked cute in this Louis Vuitton dress from the Fall 2010 collection. It is quite different to her usual style and I think her hair and make up was spot on.

Maggie Gyllenhaal also chose Louis Vuitton but went for a much more dramatic entrance.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly...pt 1

Here we go!! I haven't got long as I have to run to work but....

Young Hollywood were out in force with Emma Watson (wearing custom Burberry), Taylor Swift (not technically Hollywood but still) Carey Mulligan (simple...maybe boring?!), Kristen Stewart (I just can't like it, as much as I try - the hair, the dress it just looks all wrong..why is no one helping this girl?!), the Gossip Girls, Emma Roberts and

White was a popular choice - Emma Watson, Diane Kruger, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and others slinking along the red carpet.
And metallics were big on the red carpet with stars such as Nicole Richie, Anna Wintour, Demi Moore, Marion Coutillard, and SJP sashying down the the red carpet in gold, silver and all in between.

Emma looks so glamourous, grown up and glowing...everything you expect from a Hollywood star, plus I think she has got the hair and make up spot on. Not too over the top, just enough classic Hollywood starlet without looking outdated.
Love Love Love!

Chloe Sevigny wore Proenza Schouler and although maybe it is a little understated for the Met Gala I love the colour and shape. Plus she's thrown in a little of this Summer's lace and underwear trends in for good measure.
Loving the neutral lip as a contrast to the pillarbox red we are so used to seeing on her.

Diane Kruger in Calvin Klein
Like this look on Diane, she has the perfect figure. But it does kinda remind me of the Calvin Klein dress Ashley Olsen wore last year.
Even so she looks gorgeous and has Joshua Jackson on her arm, so the girl can do no wrong.

Kristen Stewart wearing Chanel
Chanel?!?! How can she make Chanel look bad?!!
Sorry I tried, I really did but I just can't like it.
On a positive note I am liking her more subtle make up (rather than her usual goth-y style).


Got to run now, but will update later with a very bronzed Sienna Miller stepping out with Jude Law, Maggie, Olsens (did they attend?!!), Kate (Hudson Bosworth -was Moss there?!) et al...

Who was your favourite?!

Met Gala

The year's most exciting fashion event is happening tonight in New York. - The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute Gala.
The event is sponsored by GAP this year which means many of the glamourous stars are wearing collaborations between the hottest designers and the highstreet label. Gap's creative director Patrick Robinson has worked with labels such as Thakoon, Alexander Wang and Rodarte and others to create gowns based on this year's theme - American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.
The dresses, to be worn by stars including Jessica Alba, MIA, Kirsten Dunst and Riley Keough, will then be auctioned over the next few days to raise money for the Costume Institute.

I love seeing the mix of designers, models, movie stars, musicians, stylists and editors rubbing shoulders and competing for a place on the best dressed list.
Anyone who is anyone in the world of fashion walks the red carpet up the famous Metropolitan steps.
And unlike most red carpets, designers and stars throw caution to the wind and step out of their comfort zones to experiment with OTT styles and designs.
Here are some of my favourite looks from previous years

It's Kylie... honest


the subscribers' cover for ELLE UK June 2010
It's Kylie, with what looks like a small white creature on her shoulder.
I like it but it kinda makes my eyes go funny...
Look forward to seeing the newstand issue cover - I like the fact it has very little text on the cover (a common factor with the subscribers' issue)
I think other magazines should adopt this less is more idea sometimes.

English take over Jalouse


I LOVE Jalouse magazine
but
I'm slightly disappointed by the UK takeover in the new issue.
I love Jalouse because I thought it was different and not just full of the same faces you see in UK gossip mags and 'cool kids' editorials.
So...they've used Alexa Chung on the cover (don't get me wrong, I love her style as much as the next blogger) but I don't like it.
Her editorial inside is much better, but they went a step too far including Peaches Geldof in this issue...ergh.

What do you think?
Yay or Nay to the UK takeover?


*EDIT* - Ok I'm an idiot, this isn't the new issue at all but June2009!!
Think I must have been half asleep when I wrote it....oh well
