Punk: Chaos to Couture, Met Gala 2013

'Twas the greatest night in fashion on Monday and though I admit I was a bit scared of what looks would show up on the carpet, but looking back on the night I was actually pleasantly surprised, even if 50% of the evening's attendees weren't remotely prepared for the Punk: Chaos to Couture theme.  Have a look through my best dressed!

Above, Sarah Jessica Parker was completely on point, in a Giles Deacon dress, Louboutin over the knee boots and a Phillip Treacy topper.  W Mag's Giovanna Battaglia was perfectly gilded in Dolce & Gabanna.

The ladies in white, Rooney Mara & Nicole Richie looked like goth princesses dressed in Givenchy & Topshop, respectively. 

The Olsen's. I can't get over how perfect Ashley is in vintage Dior, MK was also wearing vintage {this robe... so good!}. 

Sienna Miller somehow managed to make Burberry look punk chic and LeeLee Sobieski, in Dior Couture always takes the right risks.

Chloe Sevigny looked amazing in Proenza Schouler {topped with a turban OBV} and Brooklyn Decker sported custom Peter Pilotto with some insanely rad accessories.  

 

Jamie King is always on point and last night was no different in her Topshop suit.  Miley Cyrus absolutely rocked the theme in her Marc Jacobs dress and her sick 'do.  

Punky florals came out on Kerry Washington in Vera Wang, it was PERFECT on her. I also loved Miss Kim Kardashian, I know this is not a popular choice, but I thought it was a really cool dress {especially for a girl who's worn some truly hideous maternity wear}.  I'm not the biggest fan of the gloves, but I really enjoyed the rest of her look.

Last but not least, the colorful bunch!  TTH walked the carpet with the designer of her dress, the incredibly handsome Thom Browne, the spikes were out of this world.  Last but not least the Mulleavy's and Fanning sisters brought the house down with some stunning and shocking Rodarte dresses.

It never hurts to go crazy at this event and play with the theme which is why the people who are most concerned with looking generically "beautiful" are the ones that simply end up boring.  What were your thoughts on the night?

Sartorial Roundup: 2013 Academy Awards

I wasn't blown away yesterday by dress choices, but then by the time the Oscar's rolls around, I feel like I usually am not.  It seems as though people always come out swinging at the Globes and then there's too much pressure for the Oscar's.  But, there were a few big winners in my book, scroll through to find out who I loved.

 The shape of this Dior dress is where she totally won me over.  It's stunning.

Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen.  I still wish she would have done a dark lip...

 I wasn't planning on putting Jessica in Armani on my faves list, but the art deco designs in the beading are just too good.

I surprised myself by loving Stacy Keibler's look, the dark beading on her Naeem Khan drapes perfectly with the shape of her body.

Sunrise Coigney always looks amazingly cool on the red carpet, this is a dress by Zero Maria Cornejo.

Sally Field was perfect in red Valentino.

 When Kerry wears Miu Miu, she always wins, as evidenced by this years' Golden Globes.

Sartorial Roundup: 2013 Golden Globes

After spending a few days at home with my family to celebrate the life of my Grandpa, I've come back refreshed and ready for the year to really begin.  This, of course, as silly as it seems means celebrating the beginning of the awards show season with the Golden Globes.  

I was busy traveling back to the east coast while the pretty people in Hollywood were walking the red carpet, but I've finally gotten caught up and I certainly have a few opinions.  Please enjoy my commentary below...

Kerry Washington was perfect in Miu Miu, from sheer in all the right places to the length, to her sleek hair, this look is spot on.

Sartorial Roundup: 2012 Emmy's

This year's Emmy's have come and gone, and without access to E!'s red carpet coverage I didn't get to see a single gown until the show started.  As usual, there were many a sparkly dress, and as usual I hated most of them, these are the types of dresses I love.  Enjoy the roundup!

Ginnifer Goodwin came looking stunning in a coral gown by Monique Lhullier.

 Leslie Mann looked amazing in Naeem Khan.

 Julianne Moore STUNNED in a lemon hued Dior Couture gown.  I am so in love with this look.

 For the first time in recent memory, Julianna Marguiles, wore something other than Narciso Rodriguez, and it worked for her.  Giambattista Valli jacquard looks lovely on you, J.  

 Tina finally redeemed herself after many past red carpets gone awry.  On Sunday she looked wonderful in Vivienne Westwood.  

 When I first saw this photo I had no idea who the girl was, but the dress hooked me.  Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones chose a very different, very cool Chanel.  

Last but not least, the adorable and hilarious, Zooey Deschanel, looked lovely in an ethereal Reem Acra dress that some described as a Cinderella moment.  The unfinished edges are what got me really excited, there's nothing better than a slightly imperfect gown.  

What were your faves of the night?
