Met Gala Red Carpet 2013

Hi Guys,

I hope that you have all been well since my last post!

Yesterday the Met Gala took place and wow! was I blown away at some of the dresses on the red carpet! This evening I will be sharing some pictures of several celebrities and what they wore. This celeb-fest welcomes the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual costume institute exhibit.

The theme for the exhibition is"Punk: Chaos to Couture" so obviously we are expecting to see celebrities really go that extra mile! But, did they get it right? That is the question, let's have a look!

Beyonce in Givenchy Couture by Riccardo Tisci

I'm not entirely sure about the top and belt of the dress but I do like what's happening on the bottom half. It totally reflects Beyonce, the diva, the queen! walking down with a trail of flames.

Kim Kardashian in Riccardo Tisci

Errr...hmmmm....not really my cup of tea. I have seen other comments like "she looks like she's wearing her curtains . I have to say, I have to agree!! matching shoes?? come on Kim!

Madonna in Givenchy and Casadei Shoes

Madonna really did follow the theme didn't she!! I'm not convinced at the couture part but certainly the punk! A 'no' for me I'm afraid.

Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney

Yummy Diaz! I love this dress, and the colour too. She looks elegant and flamboyant in this electric blue number.

Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs

Minus the hair style, Miley would have looked great I think!

Jennifer Lopez in Michael Kors

Jennifer unleashes the animal within her in this seductive piece!! 

Nicole Richie in Topshop Couture

Snow queen maybe? Funnily enough I liked the way she looked, It's punk and couture indeed.



Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney

Katie Holmes in Calvin Klein

Gwyneth Paltrow in Valentino Couture

Kerry Washington in Vera Wang

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior

Cara Delevingne in Burberry

Yay! one of my favourite models. Cara rocked this piece by Burberry - Model behaviour!

Blake Lively in Gucci

Ms Lively looked stunning in this! Classy with touch of punk on the bottom of the dress. Bold yet simple. I think she got it just right.

Rita Ora in Thakoon

Heidi Klum in Marchesa

Nicki Minaj in Tommy Hilfiger

BEST DRESSED

Anne Hathaway in Valentino

Anne Hathaway absolutely murdered the red carpet for me! I am certain that this dress/design was perfectly and carefully picked. It corresponds with the theme fantastically, it's sexy, classy and demonstrates a bold statement. Anne with her blonde cut also put the icing on the cake. Love it love it love it!!

Who was best dressed for you? Let me know!

Until next post

Flo xoxo

Flo takes on the role of Fashion Police - OSCARS 2013

The 85th Academy Oscar awards took place yesterday! And I have been seeing so many pictures and comments of beautiful gowns and not so beautiful gowns. In the world of fashion, the winner of an Oscars statue is the least of our worries. What is worn is most important! Now obviously there are those who stood out and those who played safe and those who, well, didn't quite make the cut!

FLO THE FASHION POLICE!

THE OUTSTANDING

Jennifer Lawrence, Best Actress: Dior Haute Couture

Love the drooped back chain!

This is number 1 for me! It so happens that this was my favourite design from Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2013 (look back on to my previous posts) I think the fish tail is just stunning and fits her body shape very well. I think she stood out from the rest. I guess when you know you've been nominated there's a possibility you could win and so you have to look your best. She looked her best and she won, go Miss Lawrence!

Jessica Chastain: Giorgio Armani

Now I think it's fair to say that Miss Chastain is stunning visually but with that gown, wow she looks spectacular. I think the colour and design of the dress compliments her strawberry blonde (I think) hair.

Amy Adams: Oscar de la renta

Who doesn't like dresses from Oscar de la renta?..... any takers?..... that's what I thought. This is beautiful. I love the simple top, ruffled bottom and long tail. Great choice of designer Amy!

Naomi Watts: Giorgio Armani

Naomi opted for this gorgeous sleek and shiny gown. I'm totally in love with top half. She has the perfect neck line to compliment it!

Charlize Theron: Dior Haute Couture

She always impresses me and has an aura of elegance when she walks on that red carpet. Looking dazzling in white, Charlize takes on Dior with a hint of peplum. Yum!

Halle Berry: Versace

This has Versace written all over it. I love the elegance of it and who better to wear it but Miss Halle Berry. She brought some gold sparkle to the red carpet.

PLAYING IT SAFE

Zoe Saldana: Alexis Mabille Couture

Zoe you are stunning but I'm not too sure if the shoes were the best option with that dress. 

Anne Hathaway: Prada

Anne was a little difficult for me to judge. She looked great but I felt it was a little bland and simple for me. 

Jennifer Aniston: Valentino

The average red gown that everyone knows I think! Jennifer could have done a lot better.

Kerry Washington: Miu Miu

An average coral dress. This was very watered down compared to what she wore at the Django Unchained premier (Giles). I actually thought she would be amongst the outstanding. What happened?

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

Kristen Stewart: Reem Acra Couture

No no no! Most definitely not impressed. She looks dull! And facial expressions aren't helping either! Looked on the Vogue website and here are a few comments people made:-

"I can't even comment on KStew after last night. She was so stoned I barely even noticed her limp or disheveled hair or what she was wearing. It was ridiculous."

"Someone buy her a brush."

"awkward as ever."

Mmmm not very good comments 

Helen Hunt: H&M

Not sure about this, I really am not sure. Her dress looks a little creased too. Iron anyone?

Okay I do like the way she rocked a high street label that I purchase from but...hmmm. Look at the comments below from Vogue.co.uk:

"Her desire to stand out by wearing the high street brand turned out badly: the dress looks cheap and rumpled."

"but the dress is so unflattering and badly tailored!"

"If it wasn't for it being all wrinkled it would have been ok. Cheap will always look cheap unfortunately."

Helena Bonham Carter: Vivienne Westwood

I guess this is her right? Helena dresses how she is right? But unfortunately it's not nice. Love Vivienne Westwood's dresses, but unsure if this should have been chosen for the OSCARS. A comment below from Vogue.co.uk

"She looks like she is still in Les Miserable." (this really made me crack up!! haha!)
