Hello all! With the Met gala come and
gone, Gustavo and I thought it might be a great idea to share with you all our
favorites from this year’s Met gala. With this year’s theme being Heavenly
Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination it was bound to be a controversial
show of fashion from all of our favorite celebrities. I had five favorites in
particular and have ranked them below from most favorite being number 1 and so
on. Be sure to let me know what you think and if you had favorites that maybe
we didn’t cover!
No. 1
Blake Lively’s Atelier Versace gown may
go down as one of my personal favorite pieces of fashion that I have seen. The
rich shade of ruby red fabric and ornate beadwork and embroidery took over 600
hours to complete. As if the gown itself wasn’t immaculate on its’ own, Lively
wore $2 million dollars’ worth of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and her headpiece
include 30 champagne diamonds. It was perhaps my favorite because of its close
ties to the theme of this year’s gala. It represents the tie that religion and
fashion have to one another. It also fits the opulence that is the Met gala and
what we come to expect from celebrities.
No. 2
Lana Del Ray and Jared Leto were my
second favorite of the group as well. This to me hits the nail right on the
head for this theme. Gucci nailed the garments on both of them. The embroidery
to me is exquisite and rich as well as the color palette. The finishing touch
was the headpiece on Lana’s head as well as the swords chest plate on her head.
They gave that air of heaven itself and the spiritual paradise. Dare I say that
Jared Leto even looked like the divine man himself?
Stella Maxwell in Moschino was also a
favorite of mine for the evening. I loved the literally representation of
divine figures depicted on her dress and thought it looked opulent and rich
looking even though it was a simple sheath dress. What is even more impressive
to me is the amount of beadwork that went into this dress and I can only
imagine how heavy it is! This looks like a replica taken from a old world
catholic church.
Rihanna
was perhaps one of the most controversial celebrities of the Met gala due in
part to her choice in fashion. I on the other hand disagree with most negative
feedback that has been circulating. I personally appreciate what was done in
this whole look. This gave Rihanna a look that fit the theme of the gala but
also gave Galliano the ability to express his own creative freedom and to add
his own personal touch to the look that referenced his look that he wore when
walking out on the runway at a Dior show that he designed when still working
for Dior. I think it also represents him in the sense of the luxury in clothing
that he creates with the look being completely encrusted in pearls and
crystals.
I
also truly enjoyed Sarah Jessica Parker’s look. The gold reminded me of the
grandness of ornate old world catholic churches with this embroidery. It was
elegant and ornate and fit the theme beautifully. To top it all off the
headpiece was stunningly elegant. Quite frankly I don’t think SJP has ever let
us down with her choice in fashion.
