The 2013 Met Gala

As usual, the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of the Arts did not disappoint its reputation as fashion's Oscars.  There are some wild and interesting looks on display.

My top five favorites:

1) Anne Hathaway went to her favorite, Valentino, for this creation, and she looked incredible.  I also love the punked-up blonde hairdo. 

2) Beyonce did not disappoint with her Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci outfit.  I like the matching printed boots. 

3) Emma Watson looked amazing in her Prabal Gurung dress.  The overall effect is sexy, but understated.

4) Blake Lively wore a gorgeous Gucci dress with fantastic earrings.  This is how you bring drama without going overboard.

5) Only Sarah Jessica Parker can pull off this Giles Deacon dress and the custom Philip Treacy hat.


My bottom five:

1) Katy Perry donned Dolce and Gabbana, and I actually think the dress itself might have been OK, but the crown and the earrings caused the outfit to go overboard. 

2) Allison Williams's Joseph Altuzarra dress is wrong from top to bottom - the mix of different textures and shapes ended up being too busy.

3) Kim Kardashian wore a flowered bedspread custom-made by Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci.  I get cross-eyed just looking at that dress for more than a second.

4) Christina Ricci wore a McAndrew Tartan corset gown from the Vivienne Westwood Couture collection.  I think the dress would work better if it just sticks to one length.

5) Madonna in Givenchy - just no.
