What seemed to be an eternity away is finally now upon us: the Metropolitan Museum of Art Benefit Gala 2010. Already controversial in more ways than one (count Oprah as host of the event, personally chosen by Anna Wintour herself), the Met Gala 2010 is officially on a roll.

I’ll start the Met Gala Red Carpet with a recent personal of mine: Mila Kunis. Have you seen the girl acting alongside Denzel Washington (in The Book of Eli)? No? There’s something there… And there’s something else here: Mila Kunis is wearing a princess-ish grey tulle gown by Vera Wang. Who can argue with that beauty? (photos via)

I told you there was a no-textile wave sweeping the fashion shores! Here’s Helena Christensen working hard for the cause: Reebok EasyTone Trainers got her on board to show us just how Reebok trainers can make us look like (yeah, sure).

And what better way to convince us that a 41-year-old supermodel taking all her clothes off and only keeping her Reebok EasyTones? I sometimes feel angry at what the advertisers are trying to feed us with! However, it seems the EasyTones were designed by an ex-NASA engineer (notorious for spending their life in the gym, right?) and they seem to really be working! (I’ll hold my thoughts for when I’ll be actually trying the trainers, walking the city up and down – talking about urban walks – have you noticed how your trusted Converse will actually bring you pain in long walks? Or is it just me?) (don’t miss the video right after the jump!) (via)

I was actually looking for a new shape of flat sandal that could steal my heart and put it where my feet are! I was usually the Gap type (and I still am but changing shoes never hurt anyone, if they’re comfy) and loved anything with a strap between my toes. Until now!

These beauties found their way to my Inbox before I found them! De La Rue Shoes were made by Leticia Calvo Treffot in her quest to make fashion while being ecoconscious. And by the looks of these shoes, she really nailed it! De la Rue Shoes come with a simple line, a joyful look and a conquering simplicity for the Spring Summer 2010 season! (the story continues with more images right after the jump!)

Dolce & Gabbana goes old glamour. We’ve seen it happening in the Madonna campaign (well, kind of, since we’ve only seen stills from the set so far) and now here they go at it again with Scarlett Johansson’s Makeup campaign. And I’m loving it!

Old Hollywood Glamour, conventionally referring to Hollywood, has such a feminine touch to it, it feels just right. There’s no techno wave altering the mystery of a woman, there’s no pop kingdom scepter to claim, lovely! (in fact, every time I find something not polluted by Gaga, I finally breathe!) Too bad it always has to be about blondes! Can’t you do something for dark haired ladies, too? I’m sure you’ll be able to convince Scarlett Johansson to change her hair color for one Dolce & Gabbana shooting! And it would be such a statement: brunettes and redheads have fun too, you know? (don’t miss the video right after the jump!) (via)

Remember how some people tried really hard to make the iPad fashionable to wear? Louis Vuitton must have picked out on that because they just released their very own wear-your-iPad fashion!

Louis Vuitton Monogram iPad case and the Louis Vuitton monochrome Damier Graphite case look like the perfect stylish solution for your beloved iPad. Only available from 2011, the new LV iPad cases will reportedly cost around $370. Style comes with a price, and Louis Vuitton surely knows that (click trough to see more images or simply click here for the gallery)! Seriously, have you considered the iPad as an alternative either for the Kindle or the netbook? (via)

The hopes we’re putting in a model cover (especially when Vogue covers involved) and the disappointment we end up getting fed with! I wonder if it’s made in purpose to have us feel contempt and disgust for model covers since they’re so glamourless and tacky!

Nevertheless, here’s Vogue UK’s June 2010 issue with Angela Lindvall on the cover. Don’t tell me it’s supposed to make us think about sunny beaches and cooling waves! All I can think of when looking at Angela Lindvall’s Vogue cover is that someone over at Vogue was really uninspired the day they went for this cover! Feeling very 90s and uninspired! Why else would they have published this photo as cover shot? (photo via)

With the Costume Institute Gala just around the corner, let this be a fashion web-around with goodies all around the Internet! Rumors running down the fashion mill keeping us busy, keeping us guessing. Let’s join the rumors game!

Having seen the latest Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign with three soccer legends, not only we’re curious about how it’s going to end, who’s going to win, but we’re also anxious to know who’ll be next! Well, rumor has it that next to appear before Annie Leibovitz’ lens will be none other than U2’s Bono!

I know summer has just begun and we’re only at June issues, but fashion magazines (and more) already have their September agenda planned! And for Vanity Fair’s September 2010 issue we’re hearing that Lady Gaga is the main candidate! Photographed by Nick Knight, Gaga will try to fit in last year’s big shoes (Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett).

Rumor has it that Penelope Cruz (no, we still don’t know if she’s pregnant or not, but we’re not at that guessing game right now) was signed in as an ambassador for Lancôme and scenes from an upcoming ad were already shot in Paris by Mario Testino. Time will tell…

Beyonce’s last tour’s costumes were all about Thierry Mugler, some Leger here and Armani there. But those names don’t stand a chance against the rumor stating that for Queen Bees next tour, the costumes will be all designed by Victoria Beckham!

Talking about designing: Dita Von Teese is next on the collection rumor mill! She’s thinking about launching her own label!

Not really fashion but not really speculation either, just to wrap it all in a strange manner: there seems to be a connection between the unemployment rate and the weighing in.

I know, I know! It looks unbelievable! And I know it’s not exactly the best look we could have had, and still, what a wonderful cover with Madonna! Interview May 2010, photographed by Mert and Marcus!

Old Madonna is always a happy sight for sorrowed eyes, overfed with Gaga-esques entertainers and uber photoshopped sticky and sweet Madonna. Oh, those Erotica days! Isn’t she just… Madonna? (via)
