With The Golden Globes and Oscars but a mere distant memory, it was time to get dressed up and put on the dancing shoes for just one more event. The Costume Institute’s Met Gala has long been considered the event of the year, bringing out Hollywood’s elite, fashion industry elite, socialites, journalists and even politicians along, of course, with the world’s most recognized fashion designers. Last night’s Costume Institute’s Met Gala was a great celebration of the life and work of the late designer, Alexander McQueen. The star studded event helped bring more color and life to the already spring setting in NYC.
One of the trends that were seen at last night’s soiree was neutral toned dresses. Ever the fashionista, Sarah Jessica Parker paid tribute to her close friend, McQueen, with a high necked glittering dress that she paired with Fred Leighton drop earrings and green pumps. Actress Ashley Greene traded in her vampire digs for a Donna Karan blush tulle gown complete with mermaid train. Greene chose to finish her look with a dramatic pair of Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings and a diamond cuff bracelet. The always stunning Gwyneth Paltrow supported friend, Stella McCartney with a figure hugging nude long sleeved crystal embellished gown. As she didn’t have enough sparkle, Paltrow completed her look with a pair of Fred Leighton earrings and of course her diamond engagement ring.

Since the Met Gala is considered the Super Bowl of fashion events, one of the other trends that is typically seen is over the top, out of the box designs gracing the red carpet and last night didn’t disappoint. Singer Beyonce wore a figure hugging black and gold embellished Emilio Pucci gown that she paired with a pair of Lorraine Schwartz earrings. I guess her engagement ring and wedding band from husband, Jay Z didn’t quite match her outfit. Demi Moore was fit to be a guest of the royal wedding with her black feathered Prabal Gurung gown complete with Philip Treacy matching hat. Completing her look was the eye catching pair of Cartier diamond drop earrings. Ever the material girl, Madonna was dripping in Cartier, a diamond necklace, a pair of diamond drop earrings, diamond ring and plethora diamond bracelets to be exact, which she paired with a sleek aqua Stella McCartney gown. The Met Gala was a great tribute to a legendary designer and a great way to kick off the spring season. It’s hard to believe that we now need to wait until awards season kicks off again for another over the top fashion event!
