Met Gala 2013 Red Carpet

Posted by DJS Events

The theme for this year's Met Gala was "Punk: Chaos to Couture". That is exactly what the stars represented as they arrived on the red carpet. Many of them wore edgy, sleek fashions, while others we simply have no words for. While we understand that this special event requires unexpected fashions, there were some who took it too far.








BEST LOOKS OF THE NIGHT...

Absolutely Stunning! This was Anne's best look in a very long time, since she seemed to have missed the mark each red carpet during award season. She pulled off the "punk" theme in an effortlessly glam way with the extra touch of dying her hair blond.
 

Jennifer Lopez - Michael Kors

Jennifer Lopez can do no wrong. She looks beyond sexy and sophisticated in a slinky, sequined Michael Kors leopard gown. Although her look doesnt necessarily scream "punk", she certainly added that extra element with her faux hawk hair-do. 

Cara Delevigne - Burberry

Exactly what we would have chosen to wear if we were invited to the Met Gala. Cara fit perfectly in with the event theme while not going too over the top. The gold studded top half of the dress with the deep v neck  is amazing. 

Blake Lively - Gucci Premiere

Blake is never one to disappoint on the red carpet. We were in love with her entire look, however if she opted for a bold necklace rather than earrings she would have been able to pull together the ensemble with a more of an edge. 

Minka Kelly - Carolina Herrera

Minka looked gorgeous in this plum laced Carolina Herrera gown. Her dark lips and studded collar and shoulders added a touch of edginess. However, we would have like to seen a metal belt around her waist instead. 

Nicole Richie - Topshop

Nicole is never one to shy away from taking a fashion risk. She happened to look great in this Topshop gown (which we rarely see on the red carpet). The dress fit her body like a glove and was perfectly hemmed, while her dyed gray hair added the "punk" factor. 

Jessica Alba - Tory Burch

Although Jessica did not totally fit in with the theme of the event, we couldn't help but get over how great she looked. We wish she would have taken it to the next level by shortening the dress, maybe adding some feathers to the bottom and some bold earrings. Otherwise, we give her a B+ overall. 

Rooney Mara - Givenchy Haute Couture

Always one to dress with an edge, Rooney stunned in this white lace Givenchy Haute Couture gown with her dark lips and slick ponytail. We would have loved to see a great, chunky necklace to complete this look.

Taylor Swift - J Mendel

We are happy to see Taylor taking a walk on the wild side.  Very goth, yet hot...we approve. 

ALMOST THERE, BUT NOT QUITE... 


Miranda Kerr - Michael Kors

We can't say that Miranda doesn't look drop dead gorgeous, but she certainly could have went the extra mile to work the event's theme into her appearance. She almost took a risk by adding the spiked Louboutin clutch, but that wasn't enough.

Giselle Bundchen - Anthony Vaccarello

Another bombshell, who is nearly perfect, but we are soley basing our opinion on the "punk" theme. Giselle should have rocked a pair of knee high boots, a dark lip and a more shocking hairstyle (instead of her usual perfectly touseled waves).
Sarah Jessica Parker - 
Giles Deacon gown & Philip Tracy headpiece

SJP is always one to watch on the red carpet, as she is always fashion-forward. Her over-the-top head piece and plaid Christian Louboutin boots made a very "punk" statement, but the rest of the look doesn't make sense.

Stacy Keibler - Rachel Roy

 Kind of disappointed with Stacy's fashion choice for this event. Her body is too amazing to be wearing this dress - it does not flatter her figure at all. Also, we would have loved to see her hair up and some smokey eyes or a dark lip. This dress would have suited Miley Cyrus better.

 Miley Cyrus - Marc Jacobs

 Miley definitely took the punk route, almost becoming a spitting image of Billy Idol. However, at her age, we would have loved to see her wearing something less covered up, such as Stacy Keibler's dress. The spiky hairdo is a bit extreme, we would have loved to see a slicker style.  

 Katie Holmes - Calvin Klein

Katie chose a very feminine, airy dress which does not fit the theme of the gala. She tried to rock an edgier hairdo but it did not do the trick. Although, she does look great, she should have steered away from the goddess-like look.

 WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Madonna - Givenchy

Understandably, it's Madonna, so we weren't completely shocked with her outfit choice. However, it is absolutely not age appropriate and should have been worn on someone half her age. This was one of our worst-dressed picks.


Gwyneth Paltrow - Valentino Couture

This gown certainly does not scream "punk". Totally surprised at her fashion choice, especially because she is usually dressed to perfection. It does nothing for her figure and she is way too covered up. The least she could have done was added a spiked Christian Louboutin clutch, but we still don't think that would have helped much...

Ginnifer Goodwin - Tory Burch

HORRIBLE! We absolutely hated everything going on with Ginnifer's look - from her eyebrows, eyeshadow and her cheesy dress. We are big fans of Ginnifer, but she lost us on this one...

Katy Perry - Dolce & Gabanna

NO WORDS!!!!!


Kim Kardashian - Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci

You have to be joking. This is beyond horrible - from her matching shoes, dress and attached gloves. She looks as if she wrapped her grandmother's curtains around her and  then thought it was acceptable to go to the Met Gala. We do NOT know what she was thinking - or how Kanye approved!?
Kerry Washington - Vera Wang

Did not understand what was going on with this ensemble - it was a bit all over the place. It could have been a hit if the bottom half was tighter, shorter and leather.

Beyonce - Givenchy

Beyonce did a 180 from last year's Met Gala. This dress was way too cheesy, the top half was punk, while the bottom looked too "Versace" and the matching boots and random belt did not help.
