The MET Costume Institute Gala is one of the most exciting nights of fashion all year. Celebrities are out and no one is playing it safe. Here’s a quick wrap up of the best dressed. My best dressed list of course involves who looked great and rocked their dress the best, but also which looks are the most fashion convertible. Meaning...which celebrity styles from the MET Gala can any fashonista take on and own herself this summer.
I love Emma Watson. She always looks age appropriate and elegant and this evening was no exception. She was beautifully sporting a floor length, asymmetrical, Burberry gown (for whom she is a spokes model). Asymmetrical was huge last summer and it is back again this season. The easiest way to wear this look is a fun and playful one sleeved tank. It works on all body types and gives a simple outfit a sexy flavour.
Ok, so clearly not any gal can pull of the Marchesa dress Blake Lively wore, but there is a huge style cue to be taken from it. The colour. This deep blue (nearly navy) compliments almost every skin tone and can be done in many different ways in your summer wardrobe. Try a great skirt in this blue or even fun accessories, like a leather bag or wedged sandals. We all can’t have Blake’s killer body, but we can easily incorporate this great colour into our closet.
Finally, something that I often shy away from, a little shimmer or sparkle. Many belles of the ball showed off this trend, including JLo and Sarah Jessica Parker. Another great look for the summer months which instantly make any outfit more feminine. If you’re not the uber girly type, try adding some twinkle through smaller accessories like a hair piece, a belt of a little clutch.
Who do you think was the best dressed of the night? And, what are some of the summer trends you are looking forward to rocking?
