Top Frocks: 2014 Met Gala

While everyone was celebrating Cinco de Mayo this Monday, the fashion world was celebrating one of its biggest nights of the year, the Met Gala. It's comparable to the Oscars of fashion, except it's mainly just about seeing what everyone will wear. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute hosts this fundraiser with a specific theme each year. This year brought big changes and the Costume Institute   officially became the Anna Wintour Costume Center, because clearly Anna Wintour is the ultimate authority when it comes to fashion. The Met Gala is an event that lends itself to the avant-garde and allows attendees to push the limits a bit. It's a time when the designer is as important as the celebrity wearing the dress, and most bring the designer as their date. You know how much I love a red carpet, so I've scoured all the looks and rounded up my favorites. 

5. Hailee Steinfeld in Prabal Gurung

    Black and white dresses ruled the red carpet Monday night, but this one was definitely my favorite 

    of them all.

4. Chrissy Teigen in Ralph Lauren

    Seems like she's ended up on my list before (see: Grammys). Perhaps I should be keeping an eye out 

    for her.

3. Kristen Wiig in Balenciaga
    I thought this look was very cool and a bit risky. If you're going to take a fashion risk, it might as
    well be at the Met Gala. Also, the fashion world has been buzzing about Alexander Wang's recent
    take over of Balenciaga, so wearing this designer was a smart move.

2. Blake Lively in Gucci
    She looks absolutely glamorous, and her #2 spot has nothing to do with my recent Gossip Girl binge,
    I promise.

 1. Emma Stone in Thakoon
     I'm usually a fan of her style, which has also been getting a lot of buzz due to all her press action of
     late, so I was very interested to see what she'd choose. She definitely did not disappoint. I think hot
     pink can be super cool if done right, and she's very on trend with the crop top. I also love that she
     went with a slightly unexpected designer.

     p.s. that is Thakoon that she is pictured with

Top Frocks: SAG Awards

Admittedly, I take award show red carpets way too seriously. I think I made that obvious with my Golden Globe post. So when I tell you I was very underwhelmed by the SAG Awards red carpet, you can imagine how disappointed I really was. There were of course several beautiful dresses, but just not as many wow moments as I had anticipated. Luckily, the Oscars are coming up and everyone will be going all out. In the meantime, here are my favorites from this past weekend.

5. Michelle Dockery in J. Mendel

    Like I said before, she always makes my favorite red carpet looks. Maybe I should become her 

    stylist? I think so.

4. Sofia Vergara in Donna Karan

    True glam. I'm especially a fan of her necklace. When I started watching for my favorite dresses, this

    was the first one that caught my eye, maybe it was all the sparkles.

3. Malin Akerman in Naeem Khan

    I'm a huge Naeem Khan fan and I feel like he isn't worn enough on red carpets. He always uses

    interesting fabrics and embroidery that have a very tribal/bohemian feel. I gave this look bonus points

    for adding some individuality to an otherwise underwhelming red carpet.

2. Lupita Nyong'o in Gucci
    I looooooove this color, not to mention the interesting floral details. The fit is perfect on her as well.

1. Isla Fisher in Oscar de la Renta

    The dress itself is beautiful, but it was really the overall look that made me pick this as my favorite. 

    Not to mention, she was styled by Rachel Zoe, who I'm only just a little bit obsessed with.

XO,

Lo
