Fashion Countdown: 2013 Met Gala Top 10 Best Dressed

This year's Met Gala theme was punk inspired. Despite having an out-of-the box theme to adhere to, celebrities showed up to the red carpet clad in everything from baroque to bazarre last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Check out my top 10 favorites below:

10. Taylor Swift in J. Mendel

There wasn't much chat about Taylor Swift's look but upon e-browsing I stumbled on her Met gala look and thought it was absolutely stunning. I love that the dress is dark but the clever mesh detailing makes it lighter. I'm also a fan of her smokey eye look and slightly messy hair. Punk yet chic.

9. Solange in Kenzo

Solange was her regular classy, elegant yet fun & eclectic self. Of course I'm OBSESSED with her oversized afro. The bigger the hair, the better in my book. And I love how her dress leaves a bit to the imagination with the thigh-high detailing and keyhole.

8. Nicole Richie in Topshop

I have to applaud Nicole Richie for fully committing to the punk theme and for becoming a style muse with this Met Gala look. Although silver strands are not typical, she somehow managed to pull it off without a hitch. Even bolder? Gracing the red carpet in Topshop. Straight bad-a** and I love it.

7. Beyonce in Givenchy

So Queen Bey is no stranger to Givenchy. She donned the design house at last year's Met Gala as well. Contrary to popular disapproval, I actually was a slight fan of this look on Beyonce. There are two things she must lose for me to love it though. The belt and the boots. It's overwhelming the look.

6. Rooney Mara in Givenchy

Rooney Mara slayed in this custom Givenchy gown. She looks like a dark angel with the scalloped gown in stark white and her bold purple lip. The makeup, the hair, everything was just right.

5. Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney

Cameron Diaz is another celeb that was under the radar at the gala but I thought looked absolutely beautiful. Her Stella McCatrtney looks was an eye-catching cobalt blue with a structured cape and a metallic studded belts for punk effect.

4. Sarah Jessica Parker in Giles & Philip Treacy Headpiece

Oh Carrie, how I love thee. In case you forgot how glamourous Sarah Jessica Parker can be, she reemerged on the red carpet at the Met last night to remind you. SJP was glowing in a Giles printed gown and a Phillip Treacy head piece. I thought this was not only a beautiful gown but that she really committed to the the punk theme as well. And anyone willing to don a headpiece that massive, gets extra cool points.

3.  Kerry Washington in Vera Wang

You guys know I stan for Kerry Washington. Olivia Pope can do no wrong. I thought this Vera Wang dress was a beautiful selection and her smokey eye and neutral lip were a perfect compliment. She accessorized with long leather gloves and sleek straight hair.

2. Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino

Now THIS is punk glamour at it's finest. Anne Hathaway normally floors me with her red carpet choices and last night's Met Gala look was no exception. I loved the subtle mesh detailing of this gown and the fact that it's a 1992 vintage piece makes it all the more fitting. Anne fully committed to the look, even dying her tresses bright blonde for the occasion. She hit the nail on the head with this look.

1. Jennifer Lopez in Michael Kors

I was so blown away by Jennifer Lopez look last night! The #1 spot for me was pretty close between J. Lo and Anne Hathaway. Lopez looked amazing in a body-hugging Michael Kors gown. I love the pattern and how it coincides with the punk theme and I LOVE her mohawk-inspired hair. She always manages to kill it on the red carpet.

Fashion Coundown: Golden Globes 2013 Red Carpet

Last night at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, celebs pranced the red carpet in every style imaginable from mermaid to lacy body-conscious looks. The gowns were to die for. Here are my top 10 picks of the evening:

10. Jessica Alba

I'm a sucker for a sweetheart neckline. I thought Jessica Alba looked really regal in this peach-colored Oscar de la Renta gown. The diamond necklace was a nice touch, but I do wish she had gone with a plum lip for this look. Even a nude lip would've been nice. The coral lip is a little strong for this.

9. Thandie Newton 

Did anyone else peep Thandie on the red carpet last night? How gorgeous is she in this Giles embellished mini cocktail dress. Love it. I just wish she had sprung for heels in a rich hue, or in all-out diamond glitz like her dress. It's bold or nothing on the red carpet.

8. Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson was the definition of class in this Alexander McQueen gown with gold embellishment. Tres chic.

7. Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson wore a baby blue peplum dress on the carpet, which I thought was unexpected but actually looked quite nice on her. Does anyone have her on preggers watch? Peplum is sometimes an indication that there's a bun in the oven.

6. Julianne Moore

She slayed in this Tom Ford look last night. Her body looks amazing in it and you just can't go wrong with black & white.

5.  Emily Blunt

I can't help but look at her as 'Emily' from The Devil Wears Prada movie; an Executive Assistant just trying to make her way to Paris. Loved her in that role! She's moved on up, and now she's rocking Michael Kors on the red carpet at the Globes. What an upgrade!


4. Nicole Richie

Nicole was one of the first celebs on the red carpet last night. She showed up in this flowing lace Naeem Khan dress, which I thought was just her speed. I loved her vintage glam waves, which Suave confirmed were achieved using their Morrocan Infusion Styling Oil.

3. Eva Longoria

One of my absolute favorite looks of the night goes to Eva Longoria in Emilio Pucci and Charlotte Olympia heels. I'm already a sucker for lace. But then you add in the sultry thigh-high split and the keyhole? Werk werk werk!

2. Kerry Washington

In my eyes, Kerry Washington can do no wrong. I've already declared 2013 the Year of Kerry so it's only right that she start it off with a red carpet hit like this Miu Miu dress. She's also rocking Prada shoes, a Prada bag, Chopard jewels, and a vintage Movado watch.

1. Jennifer Lopez

Don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got. She's still Jenny from the block. And she's still flaunting those killer curves honey. This Zuhair Murad dress hugs them in all the right places. When I saw this look, my jaw dropped. J.Lo kills it every time!

Shameless Promotion: Cute on Coins (Nicole Richie)

My "Cute on Coins" column features Nicole Richie this week. I really wish I could've found something that looks exactly like her dress but I got the closet thing I could find! This dress is actually from her own clothing line called Winter Kate premiering in the spring. Can't wait to see it!

New Year's Eve: Celeb Looks

Leona Lewis looks darling in this little lace bustier and tutu skirt. I'm not crazy about the color, but I love the lace and the flower cummerbund.

     

This might be my favorite look of the night. Although I believe she needs to eat a sandwich or two, Nicole Richie's gold sequins dress is adorable. And the YSL tribute pumps take it next level. Love!

 Sooo..this outfit is a fail for me. Love her shoes, but her dress looks straight outta 1999...not cute. And I need her to get some support for those post-baby boobies. Come on namesake...

 

 Well isn't Mariah just the epitome of New Year's Eve glam in this shiny metallic piece? Looks like her and Nick had fun. See any other cool celeb NYE pics? Let me know below and don't forget to vote on who was your fave.
